Someone spill!

rainbow - sorry things weren't more definite for you, the waiting is definitely the worst bit, take care of yourself x

ready - sorry for you too, hope things find a way of sorting themselves out

mrsdisorganised - thanks for the welcome, yes am preparing myself for all the remarks already, I won't even think about being pregnant until I'm over 12 weeks and feel the wee one kick

Scorps · 10/06/2009 15:59

Sweetkitty - i knew it i knew we would break you

We are starting to tell people (im 12 weeks now) and most reactions are asking if we need a telly or the ususal 'are you mad' etc. Only my parents and oddly DHs parent have been totally supportive.

I have a couple of friends left to tell; one who is very close friend but her DH is going for the snip soon and i think new babies are a tender subject? Though she knows i mc'd and would probably be very happy for me, but still. dont want to upset her or for her to avoid me etc

Rainbow - I'm very sorry to hear your news.

sweetkitty · 10/06/2009 16:05

Scorps - thought that was you remember it's a secret so no outing me on FB well that's if AF ever comes and I can get a cycle again

12 weeks already wow

Scorps · 10/06/2009 16:05

mines still a FB secret too

Katnkittens · 11/06/2009 13:09

Wow 12 weeks scorpio that's fantastic!!

Sweetkitty I hope AF arrives for you soon, weird cycles are the most frustrating things ever even if you know why. After I had 2 m/c in 2 months I had weird Afs then a 28 days cycle and thought I was back to normal only to get another one 14 days later when I was waiting for OV... Sigh.. my last mc was mid January and I'm still not convinced I'm Oving.

Actually can anyone help me with that? I have very regular afs 29 days on the dot but they are very light... I'm not convinced I'm getting ewcm although this month I think I might have. I do get cramps mid cycle and usually the week before suspected ov. I'm probably just being paranoid... it's just before my mcs my Afs were a LOT heavier, not excessive but normal, now I have light bleeding for about 4/5 days and that's it.

Any ideas?

I'm on CD19 today and trying not to symptom spot but I did have tingly boobs the other night . Am getting impatient now!

RAINBOW hope you are hanging on in there

xx Katie

babyblue3 · 11/06/2009 16:01

Rainbow - sorry to hear you are still in limbo. Let us know how your bloodwork turns out.

Ready - Hope things work out the way you want them

Scorpio - 12 weeks already!! LOL... How are you feeling? I seem to be getting my morning sickness back... ick!

I am happy to say that the OB from my last visit seemed to be in a better mood yesterday and gave me a note with no problem. Sooooo... today is my last day of work! Wooo Hooo! I can't take it anymore... after 4 hours of sitting I can barely walk, and after 8 I am in agony. I am sure once it actually gets warmer here, it will only be worse. I am looking forward to spending some quiet time at home before the kids are done school/daycare. DD2 will stay in Daycare until the end of the month, as it is already paid for. The other 2 are done school on June 26th. After that, DH will begin working nights for the summer, which menas he will be home during the day to give me a hand. He will also be taking 3 weeks of parental leave and a week of vacation once the baby comes. 6 more weeks to go!

babyblue3 · 11/06/2009 16:04

Ohhh... and I managed to make it through yesterday without too many tears. Call it pg hormones, but I still had me a cry because it would have been my due date for the little bean I lost in October. DH couldn't understand why I cried at all, since I have a healthy lil man waiting to make his appearance. Guess its a mommy thing.

rainbowdays · 12/06/2009 10:17

hcg levels from 1024 to 840 in 48hours. Not halving as they should, no more bleeding or cramps, just feeling sick and tired. Sorry for brief update, but been taking my name off due date boards etc, and feeling even more low.

babyblue - can understand duedate sadness. last time I was 36weeks pg when I reach m/c due date and it hit me very hard.

Kat - my cycle has changed after each pregnancy and m/c beyond 5 weeks. It is just your body still readjusting, but hope this month is it for you.

rainbowdays · 12/06/2009 10:20

BTW found heinz on a preg, site, hope she pops back in to visit here soon, she had lost the page.

Also three people I know gave birth two days ago, the 10th was clearly the day to give birth this month, something in the air!!!

twiglettini · 12/06/2009 11:32

Rainbow, just popped in for a quick lurk and was really sad to see your news. I'm so sorry. Hope you are getting support and love from RL. best wishes, T

Katnkittens · 12/06/2009 12:14

rainbow... I totally understand how you're feeling. You know how long it took to get my HCG down I just wanted to get the levels down to I could start trying again straight away, gives you something to focus on I think.

If you ever need a chat I'm on FB a lot

Hugs

Kat

Scorps · 15/06/2009 10:21

Rainbow, keep your chin up, concentrate on resting if possible and look after yourself, and i hope that your levels go down quickly and easily for you iyswim.

Scan on Wednesday, 1.30pm. Eeek!

ladylush · 15/06/2009 16:06

Scorpio - wow that 12 weeks went fast Hope all is going well.

sweetkitty - good luck

rainbowdays · 15/06/2009 19:19

Well whoopidy-do my levels have reached..... only 660 arggggg - remind me Kat how long did it take with you?????

Katnkittens · 15/06/2009 21:42

Hi guys, had a busy weekend in Sheffield, msot of which was spent driving around the city centre getting lost!!

Rainbow - can't remember how long it took but I only started having my tests 2 weeks after my m/c when I got a suprise positive test. My first test 2 weeks after my mc was 150 then they were dropping by 10-20 every few days until about a month after my mc when it got down to 50 and they said I could stop coming.

Well, AF is due this weekend, feeling quite positive for this month which I haven't been previously. Boobs are feeling quite heavy and sore which they haven't been the last few months... might need you guys to stop me testing too early LOL

xxx Kat xx

mrsdisorganised · 15/06/2009 21:51

Oooh Kat keeping fingers crossed for you!

Rainbow hope you are ok and not getting too frustrated with your hormone levels.x

Scorpio, good luck with the scan.

Hello twigs!!

Hello to everyone else! Sorry for the short post, my delightful girls are playing up tonight so off up the stairs again.....

Scorps · 16/06/2009 11:20

Ladylush - hello, hows your bump coming along? I'm 13 weeks today already i suppose i must accept that im going to have another actual baby

Kat - oooooh What day shall we allow you testing then?

Katnkittens · 16/06/2009 11:44

Wow Scorps, 13 weeks already!! So exciting, good luck for the scan tomorrow!

So I'm CD24 today fo 29 day cycle, so when should I test? You guys give me a reasonable day and I will test. I was thinking maybe Saturday which is CD28 and the day before AF is due?

I am quite realistic and don't usually symptom spot but finding it hard this month as I have 2 main symptoms everytime I'm pregnant... strong sense of smell and sore boobs. I have both this week Am gonna feel stupid if I get a BFN.... but we've all been there eh?

Oh well, time will tell I suppose.

Oh and the most fab thing happened to us yesterday! DH has been paying too much tax for a while (he's a fecking accountant and he hadn't noticed duhh) anyway yesterday we got a cheque for almost £2k!!! I nearly fell off my chair as we are broke! Stupid DH has informed me he's paying off debts with it - but I have other ideas...

xx Kat xx

ladylush · 16/06/2009 15:53

Scorpio - my bump is getting big. I read that there is a growth spurt at this stage so explains why people are suddenly noticing my pregnancy! Good luck for your scan tomorrow

babyblue3 · 16/06/2009 15:54

Hello everyone! Been busy with the whole nesting thing, now that I am done work! A friend of mine that I haven't seen in a while gave me 3 big boxes of boys clothing from her grandson, so I have been sorting through it and washing it all. It was like an early Christmas! LOL... no one in my family has little boys, so this is the first time I am getting anything for him that I haven't bought on my own.

Kat - Saturday sounds reasonable to me Keeping everything crossed for you ... so what would that give you? A Feb or March baby? (BTW it always nice to get a surprise sum of money, isnt it?? LOL).

Rainbow - I know it must be hard waiting for your levels to drop, but at least they are going down and you arent in limbo anymore.

How is everyone doing? Let us know how your scan goes tomorrow Scorps! Who have you told in RL?

Katnkittens · 18/06/2009 15:49

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is ok, just bringing the thread back up and out of obscurity!!

Still waiting patiently but not convinced, boobs still sore but haven't got any worse... ho hum

xxx

babyblue3 · 18/06/2009 17:18

Was wondering where everyone was!

Kat - couple more days before you test... my boob soreness didnt get worse, it just stayed the same... so hopefully things will work out!

The rain here is making me feel like crap. Headache, stuffy sinuses, nausea returning... sigh... 5 more weeks to go! My bub keeps hitting a spot that makes me feel like a knife has been jammed through my cervix and into my belly! Real pleasant!

Did everyone see my new FB pics?? DH and I did a belly cast this past weekend and it turned out awesome! I just have to paint it and write my lil mans' name and DOB on it when he comes.

Hopefully everyone is well!

Katnkittens · 18/06/2009 18:03

Aww bb I'll have to have a look sounds amazing!!

at the rain though and naughty baby lying in funny positions.... not long now though So exciting for you!

I've got a nasty headache and feel pretty crappy - hoping it's for a good cause

xx

rainbowdays · 18/06/2009 21:12

Kat - hope that you are feeling rotten for a good cause too.

bb - ouch on the baby pokes, not fun.

Well the good news from me is that my morning sickness has finally ended - at last. So finally starting to feel not pregnant, strange to be happy about this. But I think I might try out a large glass of wine tonight as well. So movie, wine and dh snuggles right now, so byeee!!!

Katnkittens · 18/06/2009 22:48

Hmph got a BFN on ebc tonight, stupid me. AF not due til Sunday but feeling like it's not my month again.....

Getting fed up now
