God you have a good memory. She also said the more you pee the less you cry. You can't do both at once - honest! Hope you don't need to try that one. Good luck tomorrow. I'm 99% sure of a BFN, but I guess you never know!

Curlywurleelittlepants · 23/04/2009 23:18

Sorry I haven't been on much. I'm traveling constantly so can only lurk on my phone. I am thinking of you all though

Jools you may not have seen me but I've been holding your hand all the while. I'm so sorry you are going through this honey All we can do is hope for the best and that your little bean is hanging on and worrying you for nothing. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and whatever happens we will get you through this. xxx

Lots of love to all you lovely ladies and fingers crossed for good news. I'm flying tomorrow but will lurk as much as I can.

MummyLovesSadie · 24/04/2009 07:31

BFN... aaaah well it's still only day 24!

Jools thinking of you today. x

Joolsiam · 24/04/2009 07:48

Good to "see" you Curly - you have been missed

MLS - slapped wrist for testing so early give it time ...

Had an awful night - was awake from 2.30 to 5.30 with bad back pain and am shattered now - strangely, I'm still finding smells nauseating and feel quite sick and headachey but my boobs are flat as pancakes and not at all tender any more.

Got up with DP otherwise I'll sleep through my appointment. have sent him off to work as it is his last day of a fixed term contract and there is a chance of negotiating a new one - work and securing future income takes priority, so I'll make do with virtual hand-holding.

If I am still pregnant though, I will be absolutely amazed. Bleeding has been steady for 24 hours now - not heavy but not spotting either ...

I have also GOT to do at least 2 hours work to finish something crucial and hand it over before I go away on Monday. That is going to be hard.

mermaidspurse · 24/04/2009 08:10

jools good morning. Is there someone you could take with you? cos some real hand holding is good at times like this.
I know it of scant help but we are all thinking of you so much.

mls I just did my second test day 24 and nothing too.x

curly I can hear the mission impossible music playing as you write

Neeko · 24/04/2009 08:46

Jools fingers crossed. Sending you a virtual hand to take with you.I'll be lurking today to await your news.

MLS It aint over til the wicked witch gets you. Think I'll be in your position tomorrow. Enjoy your spa day anyway. At least you can get in the jacuzzi without guilt

Hi to all you other lovely ladies!

GracieGirl · 24/04/2009 08:52

Jools - virtual hand holding at the ready. I'm nipping out for an hour at 9:30am and at 12:30 but I'm around all day apart from that. Sorry your DP has to work, sometimes it just has to be. You are a very strong person to be able to go alone, my DH wasn't there for my scan or operation (bloody work!) but my Mum came with me.

MLS and Mermaid I'm just as naughty as you two, day 21 (far far too early) and BFN!

anniecam38 · 24/04/2009 08:52

Apologies for mammoth post in advance.

jools Bet you are in pieces today, i so so hope it is good news for you, keeping everything crossed and i hope the time isnt dragging too much until the time for your scan.

mermaid and mls- Naughty naughty ladies, Day 24 is way too early to test, now put those tests away and dont get them back out until Tuesday.

Kate-Not long till your wedding now is it? Im excited for you. Double yey on your AF turning up as well, just in time for some gourmet bd on your honeymoon!

Neeko-How you feeling today? Anymore symptoms. Wishing you best of luck for testing tomorrow.

Doozer-Hope you get your BFP this month too, good luck.

MLS-Loved the pea story! Kids are so funny, the things they do that frighten the life out of us!
Keeping fingers crossed you get your BFP.

VJay-Bet you are getting excited about your scan now!

Mermaid-How are you feeling now hun? Are you still in PMT central? Hope the acupuncture made you feel more chilled.

Barbie-Have great time with your friend, what a sad thing to happen, losing her bf like that, poor girl. Id be devestated if i lost my soul mate, shes got a great friend in you though, im sure you,ll have lots of fun (and lots of hangovers!).
Have you heard anything fro either job yet?

mm-Enjoy being away from your stressful job, bet you feel so relieved.

BakingQueen-Happy symptom spotting on your 2ww.

Gracie-Fingers crossed for you on your 1ww now is it? I too was very 'windy' and had abdo cramps bout a week before and leading up to BFP.

Sabs-Hope your first day back at work goes well and isnt too stressful.

4ever-Thanks for advice re trying to find walk in EPU near me, i decided to bite the bullet and pay for private scan-£100, i so hope its good news.
It really makes me too, pregnant wommen who carry on smoking even though they know it can harm their baby, yet nothing bad ever seems to happen to them, not that i would wish a mc on anyone, its just so upsetting when you know you have done everything you can to look after your bean, yet you still lose it.
My SIL drank and smoked all the way through her pregnancy, even though i begged her to give up, and thankfully had a healthy DS.

Scorpio-Happy for you that you got your scan appointment, though sorry to admit am a tad too. It is such a postcode lottery when it comes to things like this.
I think all women who have had a mc should be entitled to at least one reassurance scan.

Waves to baby curly mollie blue and anyone else i have missed.

Ive got private scan booked for next Sat, £100 it is costing, i hope it is good news, i really do. Tried contacting midwife who had said i could have reassurance scan at EPU, only to be told she doesnt work there now, oh well i tried.

Pheww, off for a lie down!!

Neeko · 24/04/2009 08:54

Bad luck Gracie but there's still time for all 6 3 of you!

anniecam38 · 24/04/2009 08:58

Naughty Gracie, put those tests away!!

Neeko · 24/04/2009 09:11

well done Anniecam - mammoth post. you shouldn't be working that hard whilst pg! good luck for next saturday. you know we'll all be there with you holding your hand.

4everhopeful · 24/04/2009 09:18

Jools been thinking of you constantly, so sorry you are going through this immense worry, will be keeping everything crossed.. You sound very brave and strong but I agree with mermaid a real hand to hold would be good - is there anyone could go with you? Shall be constantly lurking to see how it goes so will be here for you when you get back.. Heres a big HUG xxxxxx

Morning Mermaid.. Awww BFN could be a tad early tho? Did you google LIT and how was the 2nd round of acupuncture? xx

Aww BFN for MLS too? Sorry sweetie, roll on next month then...

Neeko your granny sounds like a real wise old owl! Good luck for your testing, couldnt see what CD you were on on the list?! Im actually on 2ww & 2 days behind mermaid & mls but wierdly hoping not to be this month cos of treatment next fri, which is also when AF is due! Will def do early test next week to be sure! That would be ironic!

Upwards to the sky for Mrs Curly airmiles! Have a good trip hon!

Kate fantastic news on your AF! Def fate that you will be oV on wedding night!!! Gracie will be very tipsy herself if she is on 'drink patrol' for your DH!

to sleepy Annie and big HI to Doozer and Bakingqueen too!

Vjay very excited for you for tomorrow! Will try & lurk via pho to hear the news!

Barbie hope you're enjoying time with your friend - I know you're lurking you addict! xxxxxxxxx

I think thats nearly everyone covered now! Sorry if I missed anyone!

DH is getting his blood screen results today ready for my 'transfusion' next week! One step closer! Another weekend of decorating planned just want to blitz it so when PG again I dont have anything to do! Sis down from worcs with her new dog so her, mum, dh and me seeing 80 something aunty later so another half day for me!

Will be lurking for news on Jools & will post before I go! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

LionstarBigPants · 24/04/2009 09:19

Hi girls have been lurking - it takes me ages to catch up each evening. Just wanted to send all my love and wishes and hand holding to Jools, such a stressful time for you, I can only keep everything crossed that the news isn't bad.

annie good luck with your scan, though am you have had to go private - it is such a postcode lottery. I was refused an early scan too.

VJay hope you scan goes well too - I'm sure it will be fine, very exciting and finding out the sex too (we're going to wait, but I am very tempted)

I'm still on tenterhooks waiting for the amnio results - not until next week. This has been the longest wait ever, worse than the 2WW

ScorpiowithabigS · 24/04/2009 09:29

annicam - i totally agree with you, I do feel lucky that i got one, GP is family friend so im sure that helped, although it shouldnt have to be like that iyswim. You shouldnt have to be £100 lighter just to know that your baby is healthy in there.

I am very scared today. DD (just gone 1) had D&V (better now, it was all night) and im terrified im going to get it and it will make me mc. I am just so scared and cant see this ending right even though last time was so different (think was CP or blighted ovum?)and i still ahve symptoms/no bleedng/cramps but im so scared today and keep crying.

Molliemooma · 24/04/2009 09:29

Jools I am thinking of you and will be checking in all morning, virtual squeezes and hand holding all the way x

4everhopeful · 24/04/2009 09:33

Oops ! Hi Annie and your mammoth post! Glad you got a scan hon - money well spent!

Scorpio glad you got yours sorted too sweetie...

How could I of forgot Blue! Soory hon hope all is well & your resting up..

HOpe Sabs work isnt too daunting as well?

DH got all results back from GP & e-mailed to the Portland, apart from one! Typical! Its law his blood is screened up to 30 days before 'transfusion' (they take a pint & filter white cells, but still classed as transfusion). Have to chase that one outstanding test now as they must have by TUes...

4everhopeful · 24/04/2009 09:37

Awww scorpio your bound to panic, try & take your mind off things with some crap telly or a mag, your scan will soon be here...

Lion didnt mention you cos not sure if you were lurking but thinking of you lots and lots and well aware this is the most agonising 2ww you have ever done, weds will soon be here hon...

Morning Mollie!

Now I really have covered everyone so must do some work!

xxxxxxxx

mermaidspurse · 24/04/2009 09:42

lion I was thinking of you yesterday and forgot to shout you - another week to wait, god dosn't it seem like an endless wait.

annie double pants at having to pay for your scan but at least its kindda on the horizon. you sound a wee bit better.x

4ever morning lovely. We need a result and those waiting for appointments chart not a cd chart Do dhs results mean he is just clear of all the blood nasties so he is safe to be used for transfusion? I am guessing so, so yippee a step closer.
I think the accupuncture has sort of wrapped a protective layer round me, bit like the ready brek advert I feel much stronger and able to face stuff whereas on Monday I was just a complete wreck.
the best bit though and I am still grinning about it now is when she went to put a needle in my chest and wondered if I had implants cos 'I looked so perky' oh the wonders of bra technology, worth every penny

vjay you have a scan tomorrow are you really going to ask the flavour? and have you managed to get your funding for ds sorted.

For the record ladies I was due on today as I seem to be on a 24 day cycle so I think I was justified

Molliemooma · 24/04/2009 09:44

Scorpio I know exactly how you are feeling, you are describing me perfectly. I've been bursting into tears at nothing and waking up each morning thinking is this the morning my baby will die and I won't know, or will it be tomorrow etc. I had 2 mm/c and no indication anything was wrong, even saw the hb for the 2nd one, so I am panicking constantly. That's why the doctor has signed me off, as I was in such a state when I saw her Weds, work has been really stressful too and now ms has kicked in I can't ignore the fact I'm pg. So if you'll hold my hand, I'll hold yours and we'll try and be strong together
annie I'm so cross you have had to pay for a scan but pleased you have got something organised.
Blue How are you doing chick?
Barbie Hope you are having fun with your friend, I know she will be having a great time with you to distract her
MLS Mermaid & GG Naughty girls Step away from the sticks, at least for the weekend
Kate Fantastic news about AF, bring on the honeymoon baby
LionStar How long til your results now?
MM Hello lovely lady, so TTC is back on the menu I see wonderful, hope you have your OPK's and pre-seed at the ready
4ever Can't believe how quickly your treatment is progressing its such good news
Hello to Curly Neeko Bakingqueen Doozer and anyone else I've forgotten

anniecam38 · 24/04/2009 09:46

Awww Scorpoio, sending you big hugs. Keep repeating to yourself, this is a new pregnancy, it is understandable you will be upset, pregnancy post mc is full of worry. Hope you're getting plenty of hugs from DH and hope your DD is better soon poor mite. You will probably feel more tearful as its the hormones and tiredness from being up with DD, is there anyone who can look after DD for a bit today so you get a bit of 'me' time?

Lion Hope the next 5 or so days pass quick until you get your results.

4ever- Hope the GP get their finger out and get that missing blood sample chased up!

mermaidspurse · 24/04/2009 09:46

opps its x post morning
scorpio bloody hormones and your knackered from cleaning up v&d. sending you a hug, when is your scan?
4ever why do they always lose one test?

mollie morning lovely lady and hope you are ok.

ScorpiowithabigS · 24/04/2009 09:51

thankyou mollie thats how i feel, kind of. i am 5+3 today and yesterday i was positive; today i have woken up 'wrong' and its crappy. DH doesnt really know what to say, he is lovely though and let me snot all over him this morning I do have slight ms, sore boobs and that general whoozy feeling and tiredness - my goodness! but still worry.

My DH ex (mum of my dss) is 9 weeks; she has it so easy. She doesnt parent my dss very well, has just met a new boyfriend 14 weeks ago and is already 9 weeks. Makes me wonder why some people have all the luck.

I am plannign on lying on the sofa and looking after dd all day today. not even going out unless school run.

ScorpiowithabigS · 24/04/2009 09:52

thankyou annie and mermaid

i am going to look after dd today, and DH has to work tomorrow (unusual) but hopefully i will get some rest soon. I guess it is the hormones, i could cry again now lol

Thankyou all, you're so lovely

ScorpiowithabigS · 24/04/2009 09:53

I am awaiting appointment letter for scan; they do scan at 5 weeks in EPU here, but i am betting i will be gone 6 weeks (hopefully) by the time i get my letter. 6 weeks will be tuesday, so not long.

mermaidspurse · 24/04/2009 09:53

see, hormones
