GracieGirl · 21/04/2009 21:54

Evening! I got sun burnt!! Got lots of gardening done though, and me and Mum didn't argue too much! Just been looking at the website for your honeymoon cottage Kate, it looks gorgeous!

doozerhead · 21/04/2009 22:01

Jools - it's perfectly understandable! It's bound to be a nervous time - but lots of hands to hold here. Hope you get a better night's sleep tonight x

GracieGirl · 22/04/2009 06:22

mls i laughed so much at your dd! i think it was the monkey tourch that did it! i hope she is ok now...yuk at the poo....i forget thats all part of having a baby, i dont think ive thought this through i thought it was all lovely cuddles and cute clothes...

annie how you doing today hun? i agree with mermaid with regards to karma...you would feel awful if anything happened, although im sure i would lie for a scan depending how mad in the head im going...maybe just bite the bullet and pay for one?

jools i used to do that all the time, the freaking out and running to the bathroom..left dh and the dog on the beach miles from home and drove like a mad women cos i thought i was bleeding, turns out i wasnt...so lay on the bed in relief, fell asleep and was only woken by dh phoning saying it was raining and did i expect him to walk all the way home! you will be fine

mollie glad you popped back on, i hope you are taking it easy as well as blue

kate your honeymoon looks fab, relax and enjoy each other...the more relaxed you are the quicker you will fall

doozer did you test again?

neeko yep you are the only one not on fb, so come on and join us!

4ever how are you hun?

lion how long now until you get the results? how are you holding up? im thinking about you

sabs enjoy the sun til you go back to work on fri, you will be fine, remember what i told you!

meramid has the pmt gone yet or do we still need to practice our ducking skills?

My friend arrives tomorrow night, its the first time i have seen her since i went around at christmas the week after her bf dropped dead....she gets the hospital report today so is coming here to take her mind off things....so apoligise in advance if im not around too much, i will be lurking and constantly checking on sat to see what flavour bean vjay has got!

On the plus side im here all day today and tomorrow!

barbie ohh your poor friend god we are so, so bloody lucky in so many ways.

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 08:28

mermaid i know we are v lucky but tend to forget dont we? at least we still have a chance of having a baby, for her she never will with her 'soul mate'
I have a fun week planned out for us so hopefully i can do my little bit in her recovery...

Joolsiam · 22/04/2009 08:51

Morning all

Barbie - am glad I'm not the only one to go running home in a panic !!

Mermaid - hope you're feeling better today

Am beginning to think my subconscious knew something yesterday - have just started spotting - reddy brown and some stringy bits, so suspect this may be the end Better now than at nearly 12 weeks I suppose .... Am going to try and get on with some overdue work and not think about it

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 08:57

jools hang in there love, plenty of people spot and bleed throughout their pregnancies with no explaination at all...im here if you wanna chat or maybe getting on with some work will occupy you for a few hours. Thinking about you x

OP posts:
Neeko · 22/04/2009 09:16

Jools I'm breaking my no posting at work rule to hold your hand. Hope you are ok. Sending lots of positive,sticky thoughts and a big hug your way. Stay strong.

Joolsiam · 22/04/2009 09:31

Thanks Neeko and Barbie I definitely need someone to keep me sane today - what would I do without this thread

Just had another loo visit and nothing more there. Boobs are still tender and I feel sick - but whether that is MS or sick with worry I don't know.

O god, I HAVE to do work today and I just can't concentrate Think I'm going to skip my lunchtime gym class for once !

4everhopeful · 22/04/2009 09:33

Jools hon also breaking no posting at work rule to hold your hand and send sticky thoughts to you sweetie... Everythings crossed.. xxxx

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 09:43

jools can you not visit a&e for a scan? not sure if this would help? i remember the how frightened i was, nothing or nobody can take your mind off the worry...wish i could wave a magic wand for you...for all of us really.
Im glad you are not going to the gym , one day missing it will not hurt you...
im bored today, days like this i do my own head it! i google way too much and then worry myself silly about what might be happening inside me. I then get depressed, so instead of google im reading crappy gossip pages online...Dh is going to come home a little earlier today and im going to go and get myself a new bikini and go to the gym....I miss not working! Hopefully something should be definate by next weekend then ill be complaining that im nver home
I dont know what i can say to make things better, i wont patronise you because we have all been there, i just really really hope that things work out for you. There are many many thread on here where peope have had bleeds but it turns out ok.
I keep thinking how shit all this is...sometimes i wonder if being on here hinders me rather than helping me...but im learning to take it for what it is, and if nothing more i have made some bloody good friends on here who id much rather talk to then many people iin real life...
Sod the opk's, the temping and the days of the cycle im relaxing and finally being more like myself again..dont get me wrong some days are still bad, im the jealous old witch but thanks to all of you i have more sunny days now, and thats not just because i live in dubai
Right if you have read all of this post i have successfully taken your mind off things for about 3- 5 mins

Just checked to see where you live Annie - if you was anywhere near london I was gonna say my EPU has a walk in clinic from 7-11am mon-sat. Im sure a few near sunny Sunderland might have the same? Worth a google search perhaps? Might save money!

Morning to barbie and mermaid my lovelys! Well done on being in demand on the job front barbie! I agree you must take the job with most option of MNing! Very tragic to hear about your friend, my DH is my life it must be unbearable for her, im sure you will be a great comfort to her cos you are great with us lot! xx

Ahh hows the pmt mermaid*? Sure you're not PG & hormonal?!?! Whens the next acupuncture & when do you see your blummin specialist? He's not still playing golf surely?!?! xx

All well with me, am being naughty posting, systems were down at work for about 30mins so I did research into my LIT, side effects are blistering and bluish marks & itching for a couple weeks to months . Also 3 or 4 injections of DH white cells so am a bit shitting myself scared as really not good with needles or pain! Oh well all be worth it, stats are def coming up as 75% success rate I really do feel like a different person this last couple of weeks, dont think I realised how low I was cos was permanently fighting it & 'acting normal'... Its good to be back! xxxx

Big waves and love to all not mentioned! xxxx Better get off, am so paranoid of being caught! Half day to lounge in the lovely sun, and moan at garden co who laid turf but failed to remove bluebells which have noe sprung up all over the lawn been trying to get him round to do something about it since our hol! We have a few round edges which are just fine & pretty, but honestly there are about 50 and we cut them back so now looks patchy and crap. Its been our bugbear over recent weeks so will give him what for!! Mermaid come down to sunny london & take your PMT out on him! xxxxxxxxx

MUST GO! xxxxxxxxxx

Joolsiam · 22/04/2009 09:48

Too early for EPU unfortunately. I'm not sure even an internal scan would show anything at 5+3 If the bleeding continues, I shall phone the GP but I don't think there is anything I can do except wait and hope.

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 09:53

jools i have internal scan at 5+4 and they saw the sac and foetal pole....dont you wish tom cruise was your hubby and he brought you a scanner thingy and a midwife?

4ever hope you dont get caught you naughty naughty girl you sound soooo much happier! when you get your injection think about what you are doing it for, the pain will be worth it, although im sure there wont be that much pain

OP posts:
4everhopeful · 22/04/2009 09:53

Ooooh am being so naughty but had to come back & give barbie a big HUG!!!! Wish I was out in sunny Dubai with you today to stop you being bored! We could go to the pool and have a few cocktails & a good girly gossip! I agree with you sweetie, I can talk to you all more than I can alot of mates in RL now!!! xxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 22/04/2009 09:57

Last post for a few hours! 4ever slaps own wrist..
Jools get down EPU, Iv had scans at 6w and saw hb, 5w bit early but you will see if all is as it should be, so at least you'll be reassured hopefully hon xxxxxxxxx

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 09:58

loving the hug!!! thanks...i so wish i would win the lotto cos the first thing id do is to fly you all over and have one big emmsys reunion!! i would so love us all to get together!!! 4ever back to work, ill have a drink for you by the pool

SabsBigPants · 22/04/2009 10:02

jools also adding that im here holding your hand...we're here for you....also sending lots of positive thoughts and sticky bean thoughts...

mermaidspurse · 22/04/2009 10:10

jools lovely, lovely lady - I am thinking so much of you and sending very sticky and positive thoughts your way. I have had internals at 6 weeks, you are not so far off it may be worth a try? I hope you are working from home today?

4ever bluebells are better than parsnips which is what we had coming through our topsoil -but they were tasty!
I am going to look at what you have to do with your LIT later. You have sounded so much happier in the last few weeks and things are going to get better and better

accupuncture this afternoon

barbie sending you a hug cos you are such a sweetie.x
love to everyone.x
oh forgot pmsl at mls peas! classic

Joolsiam · 22/04/2009 10:11

Thanks for the laugh Barbie

Interesting what you say about seeing something before 6 weeks. I can't self-refer to EPU so will phone GP if bleeding continues
