xx ei xx

First day of Spring here, nice and warm too, I'm wearing a short sleeved shirt and no cardi
Went to a fun bbq last night, 4 families from dd1's class, 8 children in total there, children and adults had an enjoyable time.
No news here, might try and pounce on dh tonight, in case I'm ovulating later than I think I have. Will have to see if the poor petal is too tired though, first
Welcome back Teehee, enjoy the scan After everything you've been through Kate, I have no advice, just hope you start to feel better soon
I remember during my 2 m/c's that there was nothing I could do to change how I felt, just had to feel like an emotional, hormonal mess for as long as it took for to me to learn to live with it all. The sadness and frustration is still there, but time has helped me keep it below the surface most of the time now, so it doesn't impact my everyday life so much, and the dd's especially, living with me last year and this year couldn't have been much fun for them Hopefully when your renovations are finished, will help a bit, that can stress you out without realising.
Hi to everyone else, dd2 has gone quiet, had better check what she is destroying now

Morning girls

DP has just told me he's taking the laptop with him to work today so this is just a quickie. I'll read up on the weekend posts when he gets home

Hope you're all well, I'm counting the hours to my 12 week nuchal on Thursday! I'm so excited!

Mollie shyly pokes her head round the corner "Hello Lovelies" It's no good I can't stay away, regardless of how it makes me feel I need to talk to you lot on a daily basis or I think I might just go mad
Teehee Glad to see you back after your holiday, sorry to hear your suffering a bit but good luck for your scan, really hope all goes well, can't wait for an update.
Emmsy So sorry to hear about the car and the fish My DH is the same, a non-driver, I've been nagging for 6 years to no avail, maybe I'll withdraw conjugal rights for a bit that might make him rethink about lessons!
EI Can I slap your sister silly for you? Some people are very insensitive, mine can be great sometimes but she doesn't seem that bothered in checking that I'm OK this time, almost like she's got bored of it all! Good result at your appt, v pleased that it went so well, see I told you they wouldn't turn you away
Piper Step away from those tests missus, definately later OV, keeping everything crossed for high temps continuing
Kate Sorry to see your still feeling down, did you have any counselling after Thomas? If you feel that it's more than just being a little down, perhaps you should go to the doctors hun, you may need some pharmaceutical help just for a short while, that or we need a night on the lash!
Scully Very of your weather, our summer hasn't even got started yet and it's over I see your on the 2WW any symptoms yet?
Sparkly Fruity Mibbes & CriCri Hello pg ladies, hope your all well

News from chez Mollie's is that I'm not too bad at the moment, although got an appt with doctor tomorrow as I think I might have an infection. Can I ask as I'm sure some of you have had an ERPC, how long did you bleed for? Not back at work until Friday, not sure if I'm looking forward to that or not DH is being fab, keeps hugging me every two minutes and telling me he loves me, bless
I have three new BF's, meet Mr Wolfblass and Ben & Jerry, they have kept me company for the last few days whilst I've been missing you guys
Having second thoughts about waiting to TTC again, really torn at the moment betwen waiting til next year, or just going for it again and seeing what happens. Might have to flip a coin coz I really can't decide at the moment. I think the idea of being pg again absolutely terrifies me, but not every having a child terrifies me even more!
Right I think that this post is long enough
Huge hugs to all of you, missed you all x

Yarnie I don't know how I managed to miss you off my mammoth post! Hope things are well with you?
and
Georgie I didn't really forget you two, your just so special you get your own post You haven't been on for a while, you OK?

Mollie slopes off hoping she hasn't forgotten anybody else

Morning ladies,
Mollie It's so lovely to see you here again. I've been thinking about you a lot recently and missing reading your posts so I'm glad you couldn't stay away . I don't know about bleeding after ERPC but I'm sure someone will be along soon who does. Your DH sounds like a lovely blokey! Tell him we all think so. Lots and lots of love to you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fruity Grrrr at your DP for taking away your MN contact . Catch up with you later.
Ei Baths rock!! When I get really stressed I pull out all of my gorgeous SPACE NK products and sit in the bath for ages. Glad you don't smell like a cats arse anymore.
Scully Ohhhh Spring. It feels as though it's Autumn here but we're supposed to be having a bit of sun in September we'll see.
Kate I'm not suprised you feel so down at the moment...You've got so much on your mind and all these new arrivals don't help at all. I know that nothing I say can make you feel better but we are hear to listen. xxxx

I've got a virus at the moment...cold/chesty but I feel ok with it. Am looking after my niece and nephew today which will keep DD quiet now that DP is back at work.
Have a fab day all.

Welcome back Mollie, don't worry about forgetting people, I forgot to say hello to you on my post I tend to reply to the last few posts and then cant' remember much else....... Love your new best friends too, I think they are mine as well, even when I'm feeling good
Baths are such an English thing, I got quite used to them here, but it's more a shower thing here, especially with water shortages. But they are lovely to soak in, if you keep the dc out
Heading up to our church soon for a meeting wtih the priest about dd2's baptism, I'm looking forward to a nice glass of red when I return

Mollie So pleased to have you back. I've been thinking about you since you said you were taking a break and hoping you were OK.
Hopefully somebody on MC Avengers will be able to help regarding the bleeding post-ERPC. I seem to remember reading on there that 2-3 weeks was not unusual. Re ttc it's a very personal decision and only you and DH know what is right for you. Maybe wait until you've had the appt with the consultant and see what he or she says? Especially if you have to have tests etc. Good to see you anyway
Teehee Good to have you back too. Pleased you had a lovely time in France and that you've come home with some pg symptoms! Thanks for the FB friend request too
Sparkly Hope you feel better soon and that you're not too worn out with all those children running around!
Ei Sorry to hear your sister is still being insensitive Some people are just too wrapped up in themselves to notice that others have problems too.
Piper Fingers crossed for you!
Well the NCT class went really well, although thanks to MN I already knew quite a lot of stuff (one lady asked if the womb and uterus were the same thing ) There are 7 other couples on the course so not too big. The fact that we were together for a whole day meant that we were able to start to get to know one another properly which was good and everybody seems really nice. DH has already found lots in common with some of the chaps so that's good.
The building work on our extension has started today so it's been a bit chaotic here this morning. So far so good although it's very early days. I know it's going to be disruptive but it will be worth it in the end. The cat doesn't know what to make of it all though!
Hello to everybody else and hope you're all OK.

Hi Mollie Lovely to have you back hun Ben & jerry are fantastic friends to have

Sparkly sorry you feeling a bit worse for wear, hope you feeling better soon

well i took out some of my flat temps at the begining of the month and FF moved my ov day making me 12 dpo today, hopefully the end of this mamoth 2ww is in sight, its been draging on foreeeeeeeeeeeever got that new clearblue test in the post thismorning, so if no AF i will use it on wednesday morning, low temp this morning though so maybe will keep it for next month

Cricri glad the nct class went well. hope the building work goes well

Scully at your weather, was sunny here this morning but back to the rain now

Teehee glad to hear you had a good hol

big waves to KATE MIBBES YARNIE EI HHTG FRUITY & EMMSY hopefully i havent forgotten anybody

Mollie I love your first comment, we should make that the next thread title (although it's a bit long ): Emmsy's Waiting Room: It's no good I can't stay away, regardless of how it makes me feel I need to talk to you lot on a daily basis or I think I might just go mad
I agree with what cricri said about waiting til you've seen the consultant, hopefully that'll give your body a little bit of time to sort itself out and you won't feel like you're just letting things drift. In the mean time if it's a choice between Mr Ben and Mr Jerry or Mr Wolfblass, make mine a large glass! I wasn't offered ANY counselling or anything like it after we lost Thomas The stupid midwife never even got in touch bitch . I think you're right, we'll just go for a night on the lash instead

In my up-and-down world, I'm feeling a bit beter today (Still haven't done any work though...). I heard from the consultant this morning who may just be the loveliest man ever, apart from Mollie's DH! He said all the results they've had so far are fine, they're just waiting for the thrombophilia results... But hopefully I should have the all clear once they're in, and apparently he's "very optimistic" that things will be different next time - makes a change from last time, when he was ever more "increasingly pessimistic" every time we spoke to him.
I also had a treatment plan through from the Naturopathic centre this morning re accupuncture/hypnotherapy etc, so I'm hoping to get that moving asap.

CriCri thank you so much for the offer of the book (via fb), I'll have a look on amazon to see how much it is, but then I may well take you up on that if you don't mind. You don't think I'll just find more things to worry about if I read it?

Hello to everyone else!

Kate Pleased to hear you sounding more positive and that the consultant was also positive. What you described in your last post sounded very much like grief to me (listlessness etc) and it does take time to work through it (notice I don't say get over it because you don't, you just learn to live with it). It's not been that long and as you say, Thomas's EDD is coming up so that is obviously having an effect too. I think the hypnotherapy/acupuncture will help. I also think homeopathy really helped me too and still does - is that offered by the Naturopathic centre?
I found the LR book very good but obviously my circumstances were very different to yours. I don't think you will find anything to worry about in it. Like I said on the Knickercheckers' thread, she takes a scientific approach (based on what she sees in her clinics) but manages to combine that with a real empathy for sufferers of mc. Let me know if you want me to send it anyway.
Please stop talking about Mr Wolfblass by the way, you're making me . Although I did have my usual one glass of wine on Saturday - funny how you appreciate it more when you know it's just the one!

hi ladies
mollie lovely to see you back funnily enough my best friends are ben and jerry so you are in good company
teehee how did your scan go today?? well i hope]smile]
sparkly sorry you are feeling under the weather i hope you feel better soon
fruity i hope you are ok
hi to georgie kate piper emmsy mibbes scully and anyone else i am missing by accident
nothing new to report from me im still waiting impatiently for ov
xx ei xx

Hi all,
Have name changed to fit in with this pregnancy..poor DP!!
Teehee Any news yet? Have been thinking of you.
Kate I'm so shocked you weren't put in touch with anybody after Thomas was born. My poor friend had the MW turn up this week for a routine appointment...she didn't know that she had already given birth. The NHS sucks a lot of the time.
Piper Fingers still crossed for you.

We're having part of our garden decked at the moment. I felt sorry for the bloke doing it today in all this rain, but even more sorry for myself having to clean up after him .

Hello ladies - I'm back
Too much chat to catch up with it all - teehee welcme back, piper I hope that CB test has arrived just in time... , Sparkly LOL at new name ! Mollie glad to see you are still around hun. Kate {{big hugs}} to you, sounds like you are having a tough time but on the other hand your therapy plans and consultant results all sounds very positive .
to Fruity, Ei, Emmsy, cricri, HTGG, Yarnie & scully - who did I forget ?...
Had a lovely break, back to work today boooo.

Sorry it's taken so long to give you an update. v/busy and interesting day ! The big news is I saw a HEARTBEAT and my sticky bean is 1cm long. The dates from just my lmp date says I am 8+3 today but the doctor says I'm probably still in week 7, which I'm cool with cos I have a longish cycle and usually ov later than day 14, although I wasn't counting on that particular occasion. The doctor was lovely and said it was OK after about 2 seconds of putting the thingy on! He said and I quote "It's all good news today" I am a very Teehee Teeheelaydee today. (and I cried!)Next scan will be normal 12 weeker so just need to stay sane until then and if they keep changing my dates I won't stay sane!

Kate Can't believe you haven't had any help, it's no wonder you feel as you do and Cricri is right about the grieving thing. I didn't know how to do it though and time wasn't enough so when I got help it was quite practical stuff which I liked. I like to be doing stuff. I'll message you

MOLLIEEEEEEEE So glad you are back, I was worried about you out there in the big wide world without us to hold you hand. I only bled for a couple of days but I do remember the doctor at the hospital telling me that you can bleed for up to a month!

NarkySparkly Narky - No I don't believe it, surely you are GlowySparkly Fruity v/excited re your scan. Good luck - give baby a wave from us.

Ei I love Lush baths but have currently banned them as I am paranoid pg lady. I miss them more than booze.

Am toying with the idea of coming to the meet on the 20th. I mean it is a bit of a trek but I'll only be sat on a train for a couple of hours and then on the tube so hardly taxing. Might not get the chance for ages so think I might haul my ass to the big smoke for the day.

Hello to everyone - hope you are having a lovely Monday. Why does September always make me feel like I'm staring a new term.

teehee im so happy for you hunny excellent news am i right in thinking this is the furthest along you have gotten in preg? like your MCs were earlier than 8+3?? im so made up its unbelievable
xx ei xx

sorry teehee that sounds quite an odd thing to ask its just with my pregs my milestones have changed according to the circumstances. like with my preg with DD i wanted to get past 14 weeks as i felt that was my milestone, then with my 3rd MC i was aiming for getting past 5+1 as that was when i MC the 2nd it is a huge step to get past your milestones and i am so pleased you have gotten past your own if i am right
have i explained what i mean or are you confused??
xx ei xx

WHOOOOP WHOOOP for TeeHee!! FANTASTIC NEWS!!! So lovely to read your post, your happiness came through in every line I'll look out for your message, but don't panic, it sounds to me like you have better things to think about

Ei don't worry lovely, we all know what you mean

CriCri I think you are right about the grief. Thank you. I've been having homeopathy for a while - I figure if I'm going to spunk an absolute fortune on all these alternative remedies, I might as well do it properly

Narky () I am very about your friend's mw. But sadly not surprised. Hope you feel better soon lovely xx

Hello to everyone else - especially Yarnie and Georgie, where have you both gone? [concerned emoticon]

Ei Know what you meant Ei, I've only got this far once before. My mmc was at 9 weeks so I'm still positive as like I said only here once before

hello ladies im in disguise can anyone guess who i am??..... also do you like my new name??
xx ei xx

Hi ladies! i was recommend to take a peek here... I will warn u im not great at keeping up with posts but ill try my best LOL

Im TTC no 5 ( I have DS1 whos 4, DS2 was stillborn, DC3 was MC'd and DS4 is 17months) -have been trying since dec07 with no luck! And getting VERy impatient So thought id see if youve got any baby dust for me 2.
xxx

hi mel i recommended you i think from the ewcm thread i am TTC no 4 with 3 MC and a DD in those numbers im so sorry to hear about your DS2 and your MC aswell we are a supportive bunch who have been through alot on here and i have been TTC for 10 cycles myself so know what you mean about waiting impatiently we will get there in the end welcome to the best thread on MN
xx ei xx

Yeah it was you- sorry im so bad at remembering names
Yeah im trying ovulation tests this month so fingers crossed....sometimes it just seems so much hard work its even more frustrating cause I know I can get preg. 3 of the 4 happened 1st time TTC my 2nd took 2 years then I lost him so it deosnt make it reassuring this time round.

just a quickie this morning girls, hope your all ok? firstly a big warm welcome to mel, hope you enjoy being on this thread, and that your wait for a sticky bean isn't too longx
mollie just had to welcome you back XXXXXX
I had an ERPC with my first MC which was over 7 years ago! I was told that I could possibly bleed for up to 6+ weeks, and that you are very fertile after an ERPC. I only bled for approx 2-3 weeks and it took approx 3 months after that before I was pregnant witn my 2nd child (he was the one that only weighed 4lb 13oz at full term)didn't have ERPC after last 2 M/C's as was told that my womb had done a very good job in getting rid of my pregnancies, wasn't too happy with my womb at the time. Just thought I woud mention again, that after having the last 2 M/C's I was advised to take 5 MG of folic acid which can only be obtained on prescription, a Dr Ellard from Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral had been doing some research on recurrent M/C and had started to prescribe his ladies with it. I may have just been lucky this time round,or it could have been todo with the exceptionally high dose of folic acid, but feel that I must still share this with you, best wishes Mol for your future success at TTC, I know you may not yet be ready to contemplate this just at the moment, but feel that I must mention it before it goes out of my mind XXX

Hello to all you other lovely ladies xxxx

Hi Mel and welcome as ei (love the new name) to the best thread on MN. Keep the faith - you'll get there and we all know how you feel.

They are playing Hey There Georgie Girl on the radio right now! Where are you Georgie? I had to post as it made me think of you.

Kate I can't message you on FB yet. When I can I'll get on it.

Have a good day girls

Morning all,
It's raining AGAIN!!
Mibbes Welcome back. Glad you had a good break. How are you feeling?
Teehee Still very about your scan. You were up early this morning after such a late night!! Hope you're not feeling too sick today.
Ei Love the new name! You have so many choices having Ei at the start .
Mel Welcome!! Sorry to read about your losses...you'll find lots of support here. I hope you're not waiting too long for a sticky bean. Look forward to hearing more from you.
Emmsy [waves] Hello lovely. How are you today?

Enjoy your day everyone.
