The miracle of speedy labours (No 1 Babies Detective Agency Part 7)

[nomoremagnolia]

Time for a new thread, here`s to speedy conceptions and speedy labours

Hey but it's starting [excited] Is baby hobnobs due soon then? [lost in time emoticon]

Just a quick message as am away to say hello to everyone.

Nomore baby hobnobs is not due for another 9 weeks I hope! Am off into London on Monday and thought it would be a good excuse to meet with Gilly. Gilly please don't worry about finishing knitting. I'd rather you had some time to relax.

I had a lovely cup of tea (and a doughnut ) with Gilly on Monday (after a quick tour of the museum). I've uploaded a picture of the cardigan and booties she has knitted for baby hobnobs to my (otherwise non-existent!) profile. They are gorgeous. Thank you so much. DH is very impressed too. When the time comes I'll upload a picture of them being modelled as well! Thinking of you as the countdown to downregging starts.

Scorpio Hope you're still looking after yourself (and being looked after). Hope you find something suitable to mark your loss.

Nomore Really hope you don't have to wait too much longer for your L & D. So frustrating.

Hi to everyone else.

Hi all
hobnobs and gilly sounds like you had a nice time meeting up
scorpio hope you're ok - saw your FB status
I've got a date for my L&D unfortunately it's not for another 6 weeks but I have been told they'll give me a call if there's a cancellation before that.

Hi guys- just popping in to say hello [whispers: we are trying for babypearls 2 on the advice of the 'medical professionals'....will TOTALLY understand if you want me to find another thread but thought I'd start with the familiar faces in the TTC world.]

Scorpio- so very sorry to hear of your mc. It's an awful thing to go through. Take care of yourself.

[Waves] at Gilly and Nomore and anyone else who used to know me when I was flosspot.

Gilly you'll be fine - I had a wobble too and that's all it is a wobble. I think the enormity (sp?) of what I was prepared to put my body through for a baby suddenly hit me/became real. Don't worry, you'll be fine - keep thinking of the end result
P&P hiya Feel free to join the gang - Gilly and I are the only ones left still ttc no1 so if it wasn't for all the rest of you staying/coming back we'd be pretty lonely!! What was the 'advice of the medical professionals' bit about? [nosey]
If the L&D says we have to do IVF again (if tubes are blocked) then we won't be able to do anything until late June/July (we've booked a holiday for the beginning of June ) so there seems little reason to push to bring the appt forward. If the L&D unblocks tubes I have 2 more months of Clomid left so we'll be giving it our all then, but again we'll wait until after the holiday before doing so. We've denied ourselves a big holiday for the last couple of years because we've always been thinking that I might be pg or that we'll need the money for IVF but we saved like mad aiming to be doing IVF late Jan/Feb, so now we've got the money saved but can't do anything til after L&D (if we still need IVF after L&D of course...) GRR!

Hi everyone, I am doing fine thankyou, my bleeding stopped after 6 painful nasty days, and i am ttcing again, I have moved on a bit, but will forever wonder. On Oct 8th we will go out together to mark our lost bean, and put him to rest

That's a lovely idea Scorpio. YOu do always wonder, but you seem to be finding a way to cope (((hugs)))

Hey nomore of holiday. I mc on our last holiday so would like to go one just to put the memory to rest. Waiting to hear about brother's wedding though....So glad you are going away- Lord knows you deserve a break x

Gilly, thanks! Sorry you are still here of course, but shall keep everything crossed for IVF

gilly I too hoped we'd cycle together, the stupid EP messed up all our plans for doing IVF around now Never mind, you'll just have to save me a seat on the BFP bus I'll be waiting at the next stop.
scorpio Glad you're gonig to mark your due date, I'm not too sure I want to with the EP, partly because I never got to that point with thinking I was pg and working out when it was due and partly because I think it will be around the time Ready's baby is due and I don't want to be thinking sad/negative thoughts at such a happy time.
P&P How to m/c on holiday (((hugs)))

Hey girls, I didn't know this was here - I have missed you

How is everyone doing?

Gilly, it's natural to wobble, you wouldn't be human if you weren't susceptible to the odd wobble. Good luck with it all!
How lovely that you and hobnobs got to meet up

Nomore and Make sure you take the time to reflect your EP, no matter what else is going on in the world. It is important.

Hobnobs, I can't believe how fast the time has flown, not long to go. I am 21 weeks now

Hope all is well with everyone else

Nomore - I am eating chocolate for breakfast...... eek!

omg you tinkers you started a new thread. I've been posting on the old one and wondering where you all are!!! LOL

Everything crossed for you Gilly....and well done with the jabbing. I know that you'd do it into your eyeballs if it guaranteed a baby but the idea makes me cringe. I'm no good with needles!!!

I'm OK....bit low because my cycles seem to be back up the swanee so will have to speak to GP as have six months Clomid in the cupboard and don't know whether I should just use it or not.....any thoughts welcome.

Hello to you all- MOndays are my work day so babypearls is in bed after getting worn out at nursery and I am in my PJs trying to stay awake long enough to see DH...he's got a job to do tonight

oh my god... i cant believe how long it is since I've managed to get on here... I've missed you guys!

baby toomuch has just filled all my time and I have never really got into the habit of coming online.

I'm trying really hard to catch up but if anyone fancies doing a "previously on the trying to conceive number 1..." as all the tv programmes do.. that would be great!

From a quick look..

Ready - huge congrats!!!!! I am so pleased for you!!!!! Yay!!!!!

Nomore.. I can't believe what you've had to go through - sooooo unfair! How are you doing hin?

Gilly - Good luck with the IVF!

Scorpio - So sorry to hear about your MC How are you feeling?

Hobnobs and everyone else.. huge hello!

I'm doing really well. Baby toomuch is 5 months now! I can't quite believe it! He's an little angel - very smiley and content! I love being a mam it's fab and everything I expected it to be! Gilly and Nomore - I'll give his little belly a rub when I pop up later to bring you first baby luck [hopeful emotion]

Well hope I'm allowed back after such a long time away... sorry...

xx

toomuch HELLO!! So lovely to see you again! don;'t apologise for being busy being a mummy I think you've picked up the main headlines there, unless anyone else remembers anything I can't remember?
P&P I'd be tempted to take the Clomid but I think maybe seeing the GP would be wise. How old is baby P and how long ago did your cycles come back? Did you have cycles before or did you not have any because of PCOS? If you didn't I'm guessing you won't know when you cycles are back to 'normal' as there isn't a 'normal' cycle for you!! It's all so confusing isn't it!

Nomore Babypearls is nearly 10 months. Cycles came back quickly (despite BFing) 3 in a row at 28 days and since then they have been as random as they were before I started Clomid, though yet to beat the infamous 122 day cycle!! Think I will speak to GP now that I am no longer on PND meds. I'd forgotten how quickly one becomes demoralised

I was thinking she was born in May after I posted! Think you're being sensible seeing GP, I've got 2 months worth of Clomid left which I'm thinking of taking after the L&D - in for a penny and all that Don't get too demoralised (((P&P)))

I'm having a wobble here.....I'm starting up thai boxing (ladies night + one other night), going to re-train as a nursery nurse (Sept start) and i just wonder if I'm/we are ok as we are......i don't know. i think i want another but im so sceptical of it happening and then just think i will lose it nayway its easier to solve that heartache by finding a life iyswim.

I can do the things above with a dc4, i know i can, i guess its just something i never see happeneing - actually holding that slimy blue bundle seems a million lifetimes away now

Anyone help me????

Hi again toomuch, glad your baby is keeping you busy! I'm doing ok, i guess, thankyou. physically fine anyway

Seem to have alot going on here all of a sudden, DH is off to Thailand in 3 weeks for 2.4 weeks, eeeek

Waves to nomore, hope youre ok my lovely?

Scorpio You will be fine, I totally understand your wobble, I had the same heart-to-heart with DH before doing IVF, worrying that we were putting my body / our hearts / our relationship / our sanity through so much to try and have a DC, but we talked it through and decided that if we didn't try we'd never know what might have been. And it wasn't so bad in the end anyway. I'm sure you'll be holding a blue slimy bundle soon, the m/c was one unsucessful pg out of 4, so the stats are in your favour, and there's no reason you won't have a sucessful pg next time. However I do understand the emotional nightmare of daring to try again, after the EP I was scared to try again too. You can do all the other things you want to in life with 3 or 4 DC (or 5 or 6 ) but there's plenty of time to think about re-training as a nursery nurse later (I hope I'm not sounding patronising (or too old!) here, I don't mean to ) Or you could re-train whilst pg, it won't stop you I'm sure! ((((hugs))))
