***Lets support eachother again- you know who you are ***

[mummy2olivia]

charliesmum, nandos, beakas, sugr, cornflower, poppy, becky and everyone else who miscarried in may/june 2008....

We have all been very brave together and supported eachother. For those of us that are ready, it may be time to support eachother again as we return to TTC. Lets hold hands, remember our loss and give a nod to the future as we endeavour to procreate and............

SHAG!!

As promised, a thread to stay in touch. Will also see you on the MC avengers thread.

Chocs have now been thrown AF due tues but tbh wish it would just appear now as I feel crappy.

Off to write valentines card for dh before I forget.

night night. xxx

Hello all,

Nandos I hope you are ok.

Poppy send some to me too!

mbm I hope you are not reading this but in the middle of a really good chess match with your DH. I hope Valentine's Day brings you luck (did for me six years ago, and that luck is currently causing mayhem!).

Happy Valentine's Day all. Did you get flowers / chocolates / hugs and kisses? I got some flowers and a pink ipod! I have no idea how it works yet though.

Thanks Becky but I bloody am reading this DH has gone and done his back in so no chess for us tonight unless I can get him so drunk he can't feel it That's the plan anyway, and I've managed to coax him downstairs with the promise of champagne. God I'm a heartless bitch

oooh oohh ohh iPod!!!!!! Your DH is fab! Once you start using it you'll find it irreplaceable! I love mine, but was just like you - didn't have the foggiest to start with!
DH managed to get me some flowers on the way home from work bless him...

Kettle's just boiling so am off to do him a hottie - send very quick healing vibes this way please

Happy V Day all!
Night xxx

Mission accomplished

Have a good Sunday all x

Yeah! mbm! Well done!!!!!

AF came with a bang today but have been so pmtish all week that tbh I was glad when it finally arrived Oh well more madness and chess next month - the fun never ends

How are you all? Nandos are you feeling ok now?

There is a cat biting my knee as I sit and type this.

Today is DH's birthday and we've just had a cake eating, present opening session. He got so many DVDs! The DSs and I went to Birmingham on the train to have lunch with him at work as he couldn't take a day off. It was a lot of fun but really rather stressful too! Poor DS2 only has little legs, he did so well. I treated them to a Thomas the TE book each in Waterstones.

I'm cooking DH his birthday tea now: Japanese food. I am sitting here this time last year remembering TTCing just before I got pregnant, the month before in fact, and trying to get DH to play chess on his birthday but we didn't as we were both just too tired. I was really grumpy about it. I got pregnant the month after. Oh my is it really a year?

Sorry to hear about your AF Poppy. The madness of chess again next month. When will one of us get to check mate?? Even just check would be nice

Nandos poor you being stuck without your passport! I hope you are feeling ok.

Better go, keep an eye on DH's tea. I'm sooo tired after my day on the train and in Birmingham. No chess for us tonight I think.

Hello!

How are you all today?

Poppy thanks, yes, my mate got checked right and proper . We have completed our bd 'fest' for this month, a measly three times so let's hope one of them was timed right! So sorry that AF got you - this run of AF's seem neverending for you and Becky. I hope it ends soon...

Becky LOL re cat, bet she is still cute even while biting you! Happy Birthday DH for y'day, that's lovely that you went to see him for lunch. Bet he was thrilled!

Nandos Good to hear from you, how is everything? Have you had any more bleeding? Hope not...

Right, have to crack on now - have got one cake in the oven (for ds's creche tomorrow) and then have to do another one later for a friend who's coming to stay. Also have house to tidy, beds to make up, and packing to do as we go away on Saturday morning!!!! Hooray! Sooooo much to do before then though, and tbh all I want to do at the mo is go and have a sleep

hey all
naughty little kitty becky! i meant your kitty, not you
poppy, that AF need to stop coming back or else i'll beat her
MBM, cake.. yummy! chocolate cake?
i am fine thx for asking..better now and sickness reduced a lot. just occasional gagging after brushing and that too i mastered the art of not throwing up by spitting slowly lol
need to tell dh to send my passport asap, hes reaching london this weekend i think. my parents r going away this weekend for a wk and my bro 2 so im getting desperate to get out of here!
still bz with work n not over till next wk so am hoping to get a short getaway after i get my passport
am off to watch tv, just got home n dead tired ..take care all

Oh hello Nandos good to hear from you. Glad you are feeling less sicky now. It's much better isn't it when you feel more normal again.

I'm just entering prime ovulating time so might be a weekend of chess matches for me ahead. Oh joy. I should be more excited about the prospect of lots of sex chess than I feel.

I'm glad it is Friday. Half-term is nearly over. I've had a good week with both the DSs but I think we're all ready to return to normal life next week.

My naughty little kitty is trying my patience. I've lifted her off the diningroom table soooo many times. The other day DH went to answer the front door in the middle of his tea and I was watching TV and Aki stole a sausage off his plate! She's worse than a dog!!!

Hi nandos so glad you are feeling better now and the nausea is beginning to disappear just in time for you to start blooming Hope you get your passport soon so you can get away!

becky Good to hear you are so enthusiastic about playing "chess"
I start every month with the intention that we will just "play" when the mood takes us but then the chess madness creeps in and before I know it all spontaneus games are out the window and the pressure is on
Would really love to go back to the olden days of fun chess but am also terrified of missing the best days. It really is a madness.

Had appt with consultant re the recurrent mc's today and he went over my bloods from the last 4 times and took some more for good measure. Apparantly I am showing positive sometimes for lupus anticoagulants and sometimes positive for antiphospholipid syndrome. He doesn't want to label me with either as he says that that may have other implications but if I get pg again he would treat me as though I were and from the 1st +pg test I would start taking asprin and phone him, then he would see me for a scan and as soon as a heartbeat was detected I would start on the heparin injects. He also made it quite clear that this was not a magic wand that would prevent mc's but may help. All I need to do now is get pg which is easier said than done!!! Feel at least someone is willing to help now though so it gives me some confidence.

xx

Hello!

A very rushed one as still haven't finished the packing and we are off to Marrakech tomorrow morning! Argh!

Poppy that's great that he seems willing to help you - and with those results then hopefully the aspirin and heparin will work... Have read about very good results with them, so hope it works for you too!

Becky and Nandos hope you're both okay, and take care!

I won't be on MN again now until next Friday (how am I going to cope???). Hope you all have a good week and don't miss me too much

Lots of love xxx

MBM, have a nice trip to Morocco! we will definitely miss you..

damn i wanna go too

poppy, yeah i think it will definitely reassure you too once you see the heartbeat in the early days in pregnancy. also i know wht you meant by the pressure is on during ovulation time.. i feel like im using dh (well in a way i did use him)

becky, aww re Aki stealing sausage hope you ladies have a nice weekend..
i still have work today damnnn

btw any of you had a butt ache in pregnancy b4? i know it sounds funny but at times when im just abt to sit down and when my butt touches the chair, it aches down my lower spine to the butt {blush] reminds me a bit of my mc tbh but that time was far worse that this cos' i couldnt even sit on the toilet seat without saying 'ouch'

ok i got to go now n get ready..take care

Hi guys

I hope you are all ok. How are you Nandos? I hope your ache is better.

Poppy good news that your consultant is positive. I hope the things he suggests help.

I'm feeling really blue today because the DSs and I went to visit all our old friends in the village in Oxfordshire we used to live in and we had such a lovely day. I miss living there so much I would go back in a flash. DH just doesn't understand as he only really slept there! He didn't really have any friends there whereas the DSs and I did. It was great to see them all. I feel so sad. I did have one bit of happy news that might inspire confidence in everyone here: a friend of mine who has two DSs like me, similar ages, had been TTCing for three+ years and had one MC is now 20 weeks pg. I am sooooo happy for her. She was so down about TTCing when I lived there she had just about given up so to see her blooming with a bump was wonderful. There is hope! She had given up!

Hi becky what a lovely story about your friend being pg after all that time. That does inspire me as my ds will be 7 in aug and we have been ttc a sibling with no joy since he was 2 so 4.5 yrs and 2 mc's later I love hearing hopeful stories

nandos hope you are doing ok and less sore now.

Ds and I made pancakes on tues after school and we were eating them nearly as fast as cooking them
Am thinking about making some choc chip cookies later on today as getting the recipe books out has inspired me not to be so lazy

We have a busy weekend coming up as ds has his first tae kwondo competition and we also get to watch some demonstrations by the black belts so that will be good fun and he is also going to granny and granpa's for a sleepover so he is v excited.

Hello!!!

We are back from our lovely holiday and I am now trying to tackle the washing

How are you all? It's been very quiet on here!

Becky It must be horrible wanting to move back to your old village. Is there a possibility of you being able to in the future? You are very lucky though to have such special friends.
That's great news about your friend - just the kind of story we like to hear!

Poppy Goodness me, that's a long time to be trying You really do deserve to succeed.
Did you make the cookies? Bet they were yummy! Good luck to your ds for his competition! You must be so proud!

Nandos How are you feeling? Hope all is going well and you're feeling a bit better...

All fine here, just knackered from the holiday really. AF due Tuesday, so we shall wait and see what happens

Have a good weekend all!

Hello!

We've had a fun day out today at 'Enginuity', which is a science technology type museum near Ironbridge. So I've spent a good part of today turning big wheels to generate electricity, move big wheels, etc. The DSs loved it. DH loved it more!!! While we were there the 'Telford and Wrekin Maccano Society' were having their February meeting. Oh my god! I've never seen such dedicated anoraks before in my life. They were lovely though and so happy to show the DSs their amazing maccano models.

It is DS2's birthday next week so we are having a family birthday tea for him tomorrow. DH is shopping for food now.

I hope I can persuade DH to play chess tonight. It'll probs be our last likely chance this month. AF due a week on Wed.

Hope you are all ok and enjoying the weekend.

mbm I doubt we'd move back to where we lived before. DH doesn't want to really. He felt no emotional attachment to the place like I did and we can't afford a house the size we'd need down there anymore. Ho hum. I'm very lucky though as I have lots to be thankful for and we are just about getting to know people here. It just takes time.

Hi everyone

becky Enginuity sounds fab. My ds would love that. We have a Science centre in Glasgow which we went to last year and had great fun.

mbm hope you had a good time on holiday.

nandos hope you are ok.

xx

Just a quicky guys - hope all is well with you all?

Just wanted to let you know that I've had another CP - got a v faint line on an HPT but then started bleeding Gynae confirmed it this afternoon. Am absolutely fine though, at least I get away with more time before having to go through that awful sickness again!

Love to you all - must go as am off to drown my sorrows
