Just realised I had only read up to Page 2 and have missed out on lots of news . Will catch up properly tomorrow!!

Lionstar · 17/02/2009 22:19

Wow this new thread is filling up fast - rapidly heading to 100 posts already!

Sabs sad to hear D-day also has bad associations, but fingers crossed it will end up being a positive time for you (and me!). Sounds like you had a nightmare journey to work - I'm very fortunate to be working from home 3 days a week, so I can take a cat nap mid-afternoon! It's odd this time round my exhaustion is worst in the morning, I'm finding it really hard to get out of bed. I have been given a booking appt with the midwife a week on Thursday, I really hope it isn't a wasted trip this time.

Curlywurlee I did mention my up the duffness on the old thread, but didn't want to harp on about it for fear of upsetting the other ladies so I don't blame you if you missed it (there's always so much chat to catch up with anyway ). I am thinking about a private scan, but DP is less convinced - he is sure all my symptoms this time are a very positive sign.

mm I think the others are right, your tests being clear is a good thing - although it doesn't bring you 'closure', it means there are less obstacles for the chance of a happy outcome.

Wishing 4ever and VJ an early happy birthday, and 4ever's lovely hubby too. It's my DD's 2nd birthday on Saturday too, we've been practicing blowing candles out!

Hi to everyone else, thinking of you all

MummyLovesSadie · 18/02/2009 05:14

Knock knock, not quite ready to come in just yet but wanted to slip a quick note under your door before I beat a quick retreat back to the the cave. Have been reading your tips re pregnacare conception & will run to Boots in the morning for some. Have any of you tried robitussin to increase ewcm? Have been reading loads about it on various forums - it has to be the one with Guaiphenesin.

Anyhoo, back to the cave now & hopefully some sleep.

4everhopeful · 18/02/2009 09:54

Morning girls - welcome mummylovessadie! I just posted on our old cave!
Well im off to do the NK test later on poor hubbys birthday! Thanks for the BD greetings for him I shall pass them on..

I know this is the happy site but I really feel I need to aknowledge our lost angel no 2 (cant believe Im now referring to them by number! ). It was a year today on DH 30th birthday we had that horrid scan. Its as much about acknowledging and remembering as it being acknowledged, not many people in RL can relate to that, but I know you all can. In RL people say 'dont dwell on the past' and 'you have to move on' but its just about honouring the memory, so thats what I wanted to do, hope thats ok and you girls understand my need to do it..?

Also wierd that I should of had my bloods done today ready for my 12 week nuchal scan on monday. Instead shall be having my NK test done!

I'm not really sad or down, in fact im determined to make today a happy day for my lovely DH he is actually quite excited to be visting a private hospital! Must admit I'm inquisitive! So after that we shall lord it up round wimbledon village, in fact a potential wedding night hotel is nearby, was all booked for wimbledon tennis when we were wed so may go for a drink there afterwards..

Thanks for letting me vent - sorry a bit me me me and not very . Im still tho...! Will be back on with the tomorrow! xxxxxxxxxx

barbie1 · 18/02/2009 14:52

buttons how bloody difficult can it be to find buttons
Good afternoon ladies, im in a fool/ teary mood so please excuse me while i rant
I have been around dubai trying to find buttons in order to fix my skirt for tomorrows interview but to no avail so know im stuck, i have to wear black and its the only thing suitable...short of paying 15 quid to get a taxi to the other side of dubai i have no other choice but to raid my wardrobe and de-button something else..bloody interview
I have just been to the 5th shop of the day and some arab women walked straight into me as i was queing at the checkout, no sorry, nothing so i started to cry....and i dont even know why...im still going now. Dh has gone to play football after i have screamed at him about 5 times in the last half an hour. He said bloody hell pmt or what which just started me off again as im not even bloody ovualting so how the hell can i have pmt.
The evening primrose capsuals have been makiing my tummy funny all day, i hope its because something is happening and not that im alergic or something. I just feel weird, all day long. I dont know if im home sick and small things are starting to niggle me now or what, i dont think its the interview because im not even 100% keen on the job.

curlee hope you enjoyed the baby dancing, i must admit its a littlelike being on honeymoon over here dh is loving it!

mollie today i was taking to a nurse ( a wife of james work friend) she was telling me how she knew lots of women having had repeated mc herself and they were all taking clomid at the same time, out of the 6 women 5 fell pregnant with in 3 months and not one had any further mc, the 6 women? well she spilt up with her dh and decided against children So hun dont give up and you are certainly not running out of time!!!

mm how are you feeling, i hope you are ok and thinking positive. Remember this? no more rollercoasters

Hello to everyone else, im so sorry i have posted a me me me post but i had to talk to someone!

Love and hugs xxx

mm1509 · 18/02/2009 16:06

Hello ladies,

4ever it is important to remember our lost angels and we all do it in our own way, if you lost a child after giving birth you wouldn't be accused of dwelling in the past so why should you now. Hope you and DH go and have a fantastic day, you so deserve it.

barbie oh hun it sounds like things are starting to get to you. There is so much going on and it's probably a combination of all the changes and pressures you have had to adapt to. Just get ready for tomorrow and don't get to caught up in whether it's the right job or not, just go and take it from there. Sometime when we have time on our hands we can let ourselves think too much and trust me, as I've found out, thats not always a good thing.
Look at all you dealt with when you were back in Newcastle, you are so strong and today is just a wobble but we all need a wobble now and then. Anyway I see you've got a visit from your Mum to look forward to.

And how could I forget our teacups not a rollercoaster in sight, just feel a little disappointed today but tbh the is so much going on at work that's probably a good distraction. You know where I am if you need me take care xxx.

mollie hope you aren't feeling too down today, FWIW when we seen the consultant I expected to get lecture about my age ( I'm 37 as well) and when I mentioned it he just dismissed the comment and said we were a long way off worrying about my age and it didn't come into the equation as far as he was concerned, so don't let yourself get too caught up in numbers hun xxx.

mm1509 · 18/02/2009 16:07

barbie meant to say I thought at first someone new had joined the thread called buttons.

barbie1 · 18/02/2009 16:20

mm oh how you mage me giggle! buttons ha ha

4ever was so caught up in myself forgot to say im thinking about you at this time hope dh had a good bday xxx

OP posts:
VJay · 18/02/2009 18:17

I saw buttons and scrolled back to see who buttons was
barbie I know how you feel, when I moved up to Scotland I had days where nothing in particular was going wrong, but it seemed like everything was wrong! if you get my meaning. I think mm is right, you have so much going on and you are so far from home, but remember we are ALL HERE

Hi 4ever hope you and dh are having a lovely day
Need to go and bath my little monkey, he was back to school today and has come home full of cheekiness and sand

doozerhead · 18/02/2009 21:23

[nervously..] knock knock on beach hut door...
Hello all,
I'm not sure if this is a thread where newbies can join in?
I'm new to this internet forum lark, but have found MN such a godsend over the last few weeks. My 1st pregnancy was diagnised as a mmc at 10/11 weeks a little while ago. I don't want to dwell on things and in summary am now 100% physically, and sort of yo-yoing a bit emotionally.
Anyway, I was lurking (am learning some great new expressions here!) on the MC threads and I saw this new one and think it's brilliant. You ladies are clearly such a great support for each other. Anyway, I'll celar off now but will keep up with you all and post more every now and again if it's ok with y'all!
DHxx

doozerhead · 18/02/2009 21:44

feel I should def have added, obviously please do just ignore me if this not for new people! don't want to intrude and i have no idea what the etiquette (sp?!) is with the threads!

Curlywurlee · 18/02/2009 22:59

Hey there hope everyone is doing well today Just wanted to pop on to tell 4ever I'm thinking of you and I hope today has been okay. I'm so sorry I meant to include in my post yesterday and didn't. We'll never forget our litle ones hon. xxx

barbie1 · 19/02/2009 09:23

doozer hello and welcome you can join here if you like, we are all post mc and have decided this is the place where we are no longer sad and are helping each other not to dwell. We are also here to support each other when we all finally get the bfp we all long for. However is you still need more support for mc we have another thread going on too where there are many going through it right now its called emmys angels in the mc section. Personally i am happy here in the contraception bit as it feels we are progressing further forward

Well what a bloody interview, felt a right prat.....theres me in a high waisted shirt, frilly blouse thing which is slighly see through but black, high heels and a face full of makeup. End up having to enter the office the back way and it was like an old industrial site full of men. Walk in and there were about 30 people all waiting, men and women. I was the only westerner and the only one dressed up they all had there dish dash thingys on.....i was made to sit apart (away from the stares) and behind a desk, i think in order for me to cover my knees
The interviewer say straight away 'i dont think you are right for this job" so i got up went to shake her hand and said "thanks for waisting my time in coming from the other side of dubai, ill be off!" i have no idea what came over me
Thankfully she laughed which broke the ice and we had a chat about what i want etc etc...in the end she said i really want to see you again and we will find you something so now i have to sit and wait for a second interview next week

Sorry for making everyone think that a buttons had joined!!!!

Right im off to the pool again, making the most of the time because if i do get a job its 6 days a week

hey everyone!!! Mind if i come in?? ive brought my own beanbag.
Were noe offically back on the wagon am AF has started today so yeh we will be back to it in no time and everything is on the way up( excuse the pun). Even had a little practise at weekend (sorry if tmi). Everything seems to be ok, was a bit worried would have loads of pain but so far so good. Wanted to join you because i really want to move on now and we are really focusing on just moving to being better prepared for next time. How exciting!! x

VJay · 20/02/2009 09:38

Big welcomes to doozer and zen, you've joined the right place for moving on.

barbie a 6 day working week that's a lot! It will keep you busy. How long are you staying out there for?

It's been a bit quiet on here, I hope it's because you are all busy

4everhopeful · 20/02/2009 10:39

Thanks mm curly and barbie for acknowledging what weds meant to me as an anniversary on DH birthday. I know we're not meant to be sad or dwell on this site, and I wasnt, but just wanted it acknowledged by those I hoped understood.

Anyway ttc is still a full on process aided and abetted by valentines and birthdays, and even more by our hol coming up so I expect that BFP v soon so I truly do qualify to be here, even if I will wobble a bit (only 3 weeks today since erpc so I shall pat myself on my own back cos do think im doing rather well considering!)

Had my NK test on weds at posh private hospital then had drinks at posh 5* hotel in wimbledon village - made DH feel like royalty which was my intention, cos he is too me! We ended up having a lovely day.

Well Barbie all that stressing over buttons our new friend(!) and that happened at your interview! I bet you wanted to scream when you got there! Good luck, i'm sure you will get something soon..!

Doozer you are so very welcome on here! The clues in the name and thats what we're all trying to do!

Nice to see you here too Zen! You even brought a beanbag! It is exciting joining here cos its another step forward! We can all discuss our rigid babydancing schedules and grapefruit juice and robitussin!

barbie1 · 20/02/2009 14:52

where is everyone ?

Well im hungover and its 6.30pm here! im much too old to be out drinking in a beach bar til 2am in the morning! this is a sick face!
Oh and while i was out last night my af came!!!!! i just hope its not just another case of spotting, although i have to say there was quite a bit compared to last time (tmi, im sorry ) The only down side was that i ws curled up in complete agony on the floor in the ladies in the bar for about 10 mins....i thought i might be carried out on a stretcher!!!
So instead i drank........and drank.............and drank, hence the blinder of a hangover today

Im not sure if the evening primrose helped but im going to keep taking it and will still keep hospital appointment for the next 2 weeks.

Did i say that ive been called back for another interview on monday?

4ever its sounds like you had a nice day and im really happy for you x

OP posts:
VJay · 20/02/2009 18:15

Yeah barbies af is here at last

doozerhead · 21/02/2009 09:26

Thank you for being so welcoming!
Barbie Congrats on the interview! I turned into a gibbering mess when i had to have an internal interview where i already work, so can't even inmagine getting through one half way round the world in a totally different culture - go you! Good luck for Monday, not that you'll need it And great news on AF too!
4ever you sound like such a lovely DW for your DH! so glad to hear the two of you had a lovely day.
Am also (sort of) ttc already... well, we decided not to try not to ttc, if that makes any sense?! It's made me feel a lot better, very much onwards and upwards
Thanks again all for the lovely welcome, hope everyone has a great weekend
xxx

barbie1 · 21/02/2009 14:02

Af has gone again

Glad you are staying on this thread doozerhead!

Where is everyone????

OP posts:
mm1509 · 21/02/2009 14:36

Hi everyone,

Only on quickly in between things right now.

barbie oh hun you must feel like your AF is playing tricks with you, are you keeping note of any spotting/bleeding, maybe in a diary, and then you can pass this on to the doc when you see them. At least it explains why you felt hormonal but it sounds like the pain you were in was shocking, hope this all gets sorted soon for you. I'd wish you good luck for Monday but after Thursday I think it's the interviewers that need it more, that's my girl!!!!!!

doozer big welcomes and of course you can join us anytime.

Well DD is going to granny and papa's tonight so a night off for us, got reservations for diner so a nice night of some much needed couple time planned.

Need to run but big hellos to all you lovely ladies I haven't mentioned.........you know who you all are.
Take care and have a lovely weekend xxx.

VJay · 21/02/2009 15:43

Hope you are all having fab weekends xx

GracieGirl · 21/02/2009 16:58

Hello! I'm kind of lurking, kind of peeking through the keyhole at things to come. Still early days for me, but I would love to join you sometime soon. x x

MummyLovesSadie · 21/02/2009 18:52

Hello ladies I think I'm ready to come into your beach hut if that is ok. I'm wearing sunglasses and a spangly kaftan & I bring gifts of pina colada's all round.

Had my mc 10 days ago & tonight did a hpt (bfn hurrah) & opk (bfp double hurrah).

All I need to do now is persuade dh to bd tonight.

VJay · 21/02/2009 18:55

Hello gracie join us whenever you feel ready honey xx
A big huge welcome to you mls and good luck tonight
