July/August baby threads, where are you now? Wishing, Sunnydale, Homeinthesun, Headfairy, Bubble, etc..

[Issy42]

Please don't be offended if you're not named, you're still welcome, I just have a rubbish memory. I can see a couple of you on November thread but there's a whole load of people not there. Just wondering if you wanted a little thread to keep in touch?

Headfairy - just replied to you on grapefruit thread. So sorry about your sad news. Was hoping a new thread might provide you with support from old friends.

And Sunnydale, I know you're wary of new threads, so though you might also like the company of old friends.

Wishing and Bubble having your weird long cycles and missing whole month's threads, thought this might be one for you too.

So what do you say? I'll start a list just in case:

Issy, ttc#1, cycle 14, ucl 28ish, cd 23/10dpo, mc Mar08, cp Sep08, IVF in April.

Phew sif - GREAT news and congrats on seeing baby for the first time .

I feel a group hug coming on

((((((((((((((((((((((((HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG))))))))))))))))))))))))

THANKSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
ah
there is a lot of love in the room today.

Just a quickie to say Sif thats such great news.

Sif so relieved for you Used to attend Chelsea & Westminster when I was a kid, had my hip replacement there aged 19, I think it's a brilliant hospital- you and your bean (Alfie! ) are in good hands!

Anyone heard from Issy? Blue great that you have a bump forming now! I have one too but in denial of it until after this week... Mainly just look fat though!

Head hope the bleeding stops and stays away- think it's always unnerving however far on you might be etc.

Wasabi my symptoms too have been all over the place, but having been scanned so much already it is such a reassuarnce... Funny how with most of us ms seems to be worse in afternoon/eve- has been the same for all 3 pregnancies for me- I hate cooking tea!

Rip congrats on reaching the 2nd trimester

((((((((((HHHHUUUUUUGGGGGG)))))))))))

Hi Everyone,

This might turn out to be a long post so apologies for the spelling if I miss anything!

Head that's great news about the house - you must be so happy. The EPU visit must have been a relief to be able to see your bouncing bean - Had to laugh at you "heaving through the 10 p.m. news"

Sif just had a calippo - yum yum they are so good.It is so warm here and I am not bred to bear heat at all. God help me if I was pg during the summer. Glad to hear the EPU were so good to you and put your mind at ease.

Blue love fit flops am going to get a pair asap. A friend has some and loves them. Hope you get past Saturday and the deep breathing helps. Fingers crossed here for you.

Rip good to see you again and congrats on getting to the 2nd trimester. So hope you are enjoying pg now. Korea is only because my friend is living out there and we said we'd never have the opportunity again. Might depend on that fella in North korea though - fingers crossed he doesn't get any more antsy.

Bubble I was wondering where you had gotten to - Devon sounds lovely. Especially if you got as good weather as we're having over here. God love you with the 48 days cycle - I really hope you get some answers soon.

Jumping thank God you got your CVS - hope the wait to Friday isn't too much of a slog I'm hoping and parying that you get the best results possible for you. Btw am so jealous of you renovating a farmhouse - I think I would like the idea but not the practical part of it. Plus I think I'm a town girl at heart.

Anyway my news - well have had the most fabulous weather here this bank holiday weekend. Saturday I watched rugby - and have developed my plans for an outdoor living room complete with TV and Sky link up for the rest of the summer ( but only for the Lions rugby tour otherwise never get DH away from the box)

Yesterday 5 of my sisters and I ran a 10k mini-marathon in Dublin for a charity called The Jack adn Jill foundation - they provide respite care for families with children with special needs and disabilities.

it was 25 degrees and I ended up with a little heatstroke at the end of the race but I was fine after DH fed me with ice lollies all last night to rehydrate me. We had great craic though it was such fun.

Oh finally funnhy story to tell you - sent DH out for bbq fuel at the weekend with one of the other lads - they walked to the shop (about ten minutes) and came back ....with 2 20kg bags of coal. I never laughed so much at the two of them - it wasn't charcoal but real polish coal. Thank God I was there to stop them poisoning us all with the bbq. I don't think they'll make that mistake again.

Anyway sorry if cross - posted with anyone this has taken about an hour to write what with people asking me work related questions and all.

Hi everyone. Sorry been away, didn't mean to worry anyone. Trying to keep away from threads until after scan tomorrow as I found the more time I spent on MN, the more nervous I was getting. Too many people having bad news at early scans. Will update after the scan and catch up asap. Love to all.

Good luck issy, will be thinking of you lots tomorrow- I am sure you are pretty nervous. Be gentle on yourself xxx

oops just realised that tomorrow is now today- so thinking of you lots now petal x

Issy hope everything goes well today - lots of positive vibes heading your way!

Good luck Issy, hope it all goes well and you get to see your little bean/s bouncing around.

Best of luck Issy - I will stay tuned for an update.

Me too! x

Sif did you see your GP re blood in vomit?

Hi all - quick update as promised. Scan was all good - one baby, strong heartbeat, 11mm. Extremely relieves as was really terrified this morning. Must make some phone calls now as both mum and friend waiting for calls so will catch up with thread later in the week. Any good tips on how to copy the scan pictures? Take care everyone and thanks again for all your good wishes.

Ah that's lovely news Issy, so glad it's all looking good. I've never been able to get scan pictures on, last time I scanned an image but I couldn't get it to save as a jpeg which is what you need if you're to upload it here. Maybe someone with better pc skills than me will know. In the meantime, frame it and put it by your bed so you can kiss your little bean good night.

To my shame I nearly lost the scan picture I had from my 8 week scan this week. To think with ds I nearly did frame it and put it on the wall, but this time I've been much more casual. Perhaps a side effect of me trying not to get to emotionally attached to this baby until I know it's all going to be ok.

My favourite scan picture of ds is the one the sonographer took of his little willy to prove to us it was a boy... we didn't show that one to too many people, we showed them the cute ones of his hands and feet, but not the little todger We had to spare his (future) blushes. Still got it though, could be a bargaining chip if he's a terrible teenager

Thanks Head. Finally managed to get the pics scanned in and added to my gallery. Was trying to get a photocopy to put in my mum's birthday card for Saturday but just didn't come out well. Struggled to combine Myfanwy and Idris into one but have come up with Idranwy as new bean name. Now really must get to bed.

Issy those pics are so cool - you must be so relieved to get that out of the way. Congrats on Idranwy!

Hope everyone is keeping well - how are all you pg ladies doing?

Must dash - talk to you all later

Oh Issy thise pictures are lovely. You must be so relieved and happy.

I remember showing our 20 week scan picture to anyone who would look. We were lucky and for once DS was very co operative and allowed a perfect picture to be taken. He was laying on his back sucking his thumb. It was just ridiculously cute. We didn't know he was a boy and wanted to keep it a surprise but at that point I decided he looked like a boy!

I just hope know that I can give him a brother or sister.

I have been so up and down for the last few days. One minute I am in floods convinced its all over and then the next minute I feel a symptom of some sort and I cheer up. I get my blood test result back tomorrow so should at least find out if my HCG levels are where they should be. Then I can find out if they are going up.

Why does time go so slowly? I thought I was 5+4 today but actually I am only 5+3. I am going to go absolutely potty. Of that there can be no doubt.

Clearly the worry has made my grammar go to pot as well.

And this, from someone that writes for a living. Sheesh.

oh Issy that's just fantastic news , I'm so happy your scan went well. Sorry I didn't get on yesterday, was working off-site and when I logged on last night you hadn't reported back and I didn't want to temp fate on your behalf sending good wishes... (Yes I am mad as a box of frogs). Lovely to see your scan photo up there too .

I had my fourth 'sanity' scan this morning - baby was very active, two arms and legs, all good and measuring 11+1 . DH and me are so relieved and happy and i'm even starting to breath a little easier. Still have my booking scan in a couple of weeks so holding off telling anyone until then but we're going to tell DH's parents on Saturday by handing them the scan photo .

wasabi - I am so feeling for you just now. Time does slow down, and every day is filled with doubt and paranoia, have you got an early scan booked? I have found getting scans so reassuring as it makes you feel 'looked after' which has a good effect on your body and soul.

irish - I LOL at your DH coal story . He so would have failed his caveman diploma - lesson one make outfit out of bearskin - tick, lesson two - bring suitable fire making coal - FAIL! Hope you've recovered from your run .

sif - how are you holding up today?

Head - hope your moving slowly into the blooming stage . I'm still puking every evening but feelng better during the day.

Better go, my mum took DS to mini gyms and they've just pulled up x

Hi girls!

issy thats brilliant news pics are lovely

Hope your all ok.

day 54 and still no AF!

went to drs today and ive been perscribed clomid. feel a little confused as to how to take it!

She said that the first day i take it will be cd1 and then i will ov around day 14??? didnt say to have scans. is this normal?

she did say not to start til after the results of DHs sperm test. so got a few weeks to wait.

Hello all - it's so long since I've been on that you've probably all forgotten me. Sunnywho? Sorry - staff cuts at work, terminally ill father in law, you know the sort of thing. And I didn't want to post until I had time to properly catch up on all I've missed first.
HUGE congrats to so many of you, I don't know where to begin! Issy, so pleased your bean is well, what a lovely pic, it's gonna be a beauty! Wasabi and Sif, congrats to you too, and sorry you've been so sick and worried, Sif. Jelly, so glad you got the CVS done in the end - that must have been hell. I remember mine was bad enough without having to attempt to have it done three times. You are a brave girl and I truly hope the results are good for you. Blue, lol at "scunnered" - I haven't heard that word for a long time! It reminds me of happy times in Scotland. The Scottish language is so evocative. It's where "minging" came from, after all! Head, glad all is well with you and hope you are managing to enjoy this stage. You sound chipper in your posts, which is great to hear. Irish, sorry about your BFN and your cat, but great that you are sounding so positive about a summer baby. Bubble, so sorry about AF not turning up. I honestly know how you feel, if it's any consolation. Sending you a massive hug. Blimey, have I missed anyone? Oh yes - me! Ha ha, only joking. Absolutely bumf* nothing to report at my end, other than that I'm still not PG. And I have a question to throw to the room, for those of you who ARE PG: did you ever feel, before you got your BFP, that you really, really would never get PG again? I'm beginning to feel on some spooky destiny level that it's just not gonna happen for me. And I just want to know: is it normal to feel this way, or is it God / fate trying to tell me something? CD 20 today, still not OV'd according to fertility monitor, temps all over the place, blah blah, whatever.
Anyway, that's quite enough about me. I'm so delighted this thread has been so lucky. It's amazing. All those BFPs. Hope the dry (and wet) heaves aren't too bad for you lovely ladies and here's to more good news very soon, for all of us, whatever stage of torture - sorry, pregnancy - we may be at!

Morning all,

Jumping hope you are holding up and the results are ok. Let us know how they go.

Sunny welcome back - nice to see you again. Sorry to hear about your father in law. I hope you have ov'd butyour monitor is acting up and you never know - good luck if you test soon.

I've given DH a schedule this month - I'm getting scared a little about how seriously I'm taking it this month - we are scheduled for bd right up to next Thursday night, don't think the flight staff would let us join the mile high club on the way to Korea on Friday...

Not on for long jsut a quick hello and I'll post later to see how everyone is.

Bye for now
