Hold on, here we go again!

Hum,
Buzz,
Click click
Hum

Monitor blinks, glows
Processor thrums happily

Fingers fly across the keyboard
"Hi how are you?"
"I'm fine been waiting for you"
Smile spreads wide across my face

Her words appear slowly
Full of humor and warmth
A cyber smile, a virtual laugh
Silent yet I hear

Realizing it's time to go,
a somatic sensation warms me

"I hope to chat again soon"
"Till then good bye"

Click click
Buzz
Silence

I found this and thought of us!......

I'm no expert in this, but if you can I think I'd give it until Tuesday. If there was absolutely no line yesterday then I'd think it would be unlikely you'd see anything before then. OOOH I really hope you are!

GracieGirl · 03/05/2009 08:44

Me too! Ok I'll leave it till tuesday (I'll try anyway!)

GracieGirl · 03/05/2009 08:45

Just checked the time in Dubai its only 11:44am so Barbie is still at the doctors, I'll check back later. (and promise not to test today!)

VJaybigpants · 03/05/2009 09:01

So glad all was well with the scan yesterday annie, such a relief for you and your dh
blue so glad the swine flu bloke hasn't been back in your office since, that would cause me a whole heap of panic.
barbie hope it goes ok today at the docs and the nail spa.
Right it's ironing for me now, woopdedoo

bluesatinsash · 03/05/2009 09:31

Vjay - I'm about to do the ironing too if it makes you feel any better .

oooh Gracie - fingers crossed for testing on Tues

Hey Neeko - was glad to hear your AF finally showed up and you can reboot now.

Barbie - did you get a diamond yesterday?? Hoping all went well at docs..

barbie1 · 03/05/2009 10:24

barbie sweetie - thinking of you today, so much for you relaxing - the nail job sounds good though glad you made the decision.

love to all, just popped in and out again.x

Curlywurleelittlepants · 03/05/2009 10:41

Well it has taken me two hours to catch up with you chatty ladies so prepare yourself for a curlyspecial mother of all posts (sorry )

VJ congrats on the scan, I cannot believe how far you have come. And you're having a boy!!! lol at you enjoying braxton hicks, you nutter

Barbie what is this about no hols in the first year???? Are they insane?!!! Hope the nail spa people have more sense Are you feeling any better? What does thickening in the throat mean? Do you need us to do some googling for you?

MLS Sorry the evil witch got you this month. Hope you're feeling better. Since passing my first EDD in March, I've had a bit of a meltdown and it was like I was back to the early days after MC. I think a lot of it is down to stress from work and our sudden inability to conceive. It happened first month we tried both times last year. Anyway, it's normal to feel shit around pregnant women. With the exception of the lovely ladies on here, I don't think many of them realise how lucky they are. It will happen for us all though. Everyone graduates on emmsy's angels, we just all have to get through the next little while and we'll all be up the duff soon

4ever how did your treatment go on Friday? I can't believe what they put you through with the tests

gg I'm due tomorrow and despite a sudden and I have to say quite impressive boob job, I'm also displaying some classic pre-AF symptoms so not holding out too much hope. Good luck girl, I'm going to test on Tuesday too if AF doesn't arrive.

neeko congrats on successful retrieval of missing AF. Your next mission is a shiny BFP next month

Mermaid sorry AF got you this month. The edd is really hard, I was getting very worried about you reading your earlier posts so I'm really relieved that things are looking up a little again. We couldn't be withut our lovely mermaid on this thread Acupuncture seems like such a good thing (if only it didn't involve needles - eek)

Lion fantastic results, you must be so relieved. Just sit back and enjoy that growing baby.

Sabs I'm so happy for you hearing the heartbeat honey, and well done for being so professional with that silly cow. You just concentrate on the important things from now on, your lovely little growing bean.

MM I have to admit I welled up a bit when I heard your wonderful news. Even DH was excited for you. You are under strict orders to thoroughly spoil yourself and take things easy from now on.

Mollie Are you okay honey? I have hugs available if you need them.

Annie your little jelly bean sounds adorable. I'm picturing a girl for some reason!

Blue lol at you pretending to be asleep when DH comes in. I'm exactly the same, he gets all lovely dovey in a very drunk and clumsy way and then when I don't instantly appreciate the manhandling, he has a bit of a sulk all the while pretending that he isn't sulking which is even more annoying .

Scorpio Congrats on your scan next week. Fingers and everything will be firmly crossed till then for you

Moon congrats on bfp. how did the doctors appointment go last week? I know what you mean about having to move on to a more positive thread. None of us have any guarantees but all we can do is hope for the best which is impossible on the MC threads. Not that I'm not grateful to them, I couldn't have got through last year without all these lovely ladies.

Jools Hope the break has done you good, you're a brave lady and I'm glad you are still heading onwards and upwards with us

kate I hope you have a fantastic day on Friday

bakingqueen are you okay? I'm sending a big hug your way.

And finally, has anyone seen Scamper? I'm a bit worried as her last post was ages ago

Phew, that was longer that I thought, big hugs to anyone I've missed xxx

mermaidspurse · 03/05/2009 11:12

curly so please to 'see' ya lovely lady! I always worry when I havn't heard from someone for a wee while.
at least you can strut your boobies around while feeling sh*t that af is around the corner I really cannot recommend accupuncture enough, honest the needles don't hurt, its not like sticking an ordinary needle in your arm. I was feeling utterly awful and I do feel a lot better.
I am going to keep my fingers firmly crossed for you anywayxx

annie forgot to say congrats on your little bean jumping around

Curlywurleelittlepants · 03/05/2009 13:30

Hey Mermaid, you almost have me sold on acupuncture I'm glad it's helping hon. It seems to work for a lot of people.

AF is almost definitely on the way. I had a total loser moment coming out of the hairdressers today after he decided to point out some grey hairs to me He seemed awfully concerned. There were only about four!! Stupid man, I nearly threw his tip at him (yes I still tipped him, made me feel even worse). Definite day before AF dose of the losers

barbie1 · 03/05/2009 14:15

hello curly!!!

So glad to see you back....dont leave it for so long next time eh?

Im formally employed as from now, signed with the nail spa..6 days a week but extra £4000 to mac and i get to take my 2 weeks back to the uk for dh birthday!

Mat leave it 45 days paid but only if you have been there for a year....so i cant get a bfp for the next three/ four months....you know what will happen now dont you!!!

Not too sure re throat, seems i might of had a little bit of trauma to the area, might be while trying to do sit ups in the gym, lifting at the neck rather than my stomach or where dh and i play fight and he grabs my neck i go back in 6 weeks to re check and if its getting bigger ill have a scan and maybe a treatment...for now they arent worried.

I go to work tomorrow so my posting might not be so frequent but i wont be going anywhere and will post after work!

OP posts:
Curlywurleelittlepants · 03/05/2009 14:24

YAYYY congratulations Barbie That's good news on all fronts! Hope your throat feels better soon.

So speaking of you not getting a BFP for three/ four months, have you got AF yet? I think we are due around the same time!

I'm heading off again in a few hours but I'll be back for good (well, at least three weeks anyway) on Friday

barbie1 · 03/05/2009 14:35

im on cd 23 or something now i tihnk i am having af but it seems very light? i did have a positive opk last month but ran out so couldnt test this month...last month only had a 22 day cycle so im hoping this month ill be back to normal...where are you going until friday???

OP posts:
barbie1 · 03/05/2009 14:35

sorry i dont mean im having af now.....the past few months have had bleeding but very light!!!

OP posts:
Curlywurleelittlepants · 03/05/2009 14:47

That's really positive, it's great that things are finally getting back to normal for you. Are you going to do a test or wait for AF to show?

I'm off to Holland. Just boring meetings so sounds better than it is.

Will u still get to do the festival in Dublin?

barbie1 · 03/05/2009 15:18

I think ill wait until thursday as its the start to our weekend and it will be nearly cd 28...and yes i still get to go to the festival

OP posts:
BlueMoon1981 · 03/05/2009 16:13

hello girls, sorry for not posting in a while, i've been feeling a bit low and didn't want to bring you all down, especially when i'm one of the ones with good news and i don't want to seem ungrateful.

my docs appointment was ok thanks curly i must admit i was very disappointed, not sure what i was expecting, but she basically said congrats and make an appointment with the midwife, is that normal so now i have to wait for midwife to call me, don't they know how worried i am, i just want to see my baby on the screen so i know its really there and he/she is ok. til then i wont tell anyone.

sorry for the moan, will shut up now! how is everyone? hope you are enjoying the bank hol

i have been to my sisters today for some pampering, she gave me a pedicure, and then we sat eating chocolate, gossiping away and watching the telly i wanted to tell her so much....

kate030284 · 03/05/2009 17:08

hi girls sorry for not being on for a while all this wedding stuff takes all my time up. im on nights tonight my last shift at work as a single woman lol.

ive been to cadbury world today it was amazing girls 5 free bars of chocolate and a chocolate fountain .heaven xxxxxxx

Neeko · 03/05/2009 20:21

Hello.
Welcome back to Curly. We missed you. Please don't leave it so long next time. Impressively long post too.Good luck for Tuesday.

Barbie Congrats on the job!Am mightily relieved you can't see the state of my nails. It's great your hols are being honoured too. Bet now you have your days filled you get a BFP straight away! Only 45 days mat leave? That's very miserable compared to uk standards.

Blue Nice to see you're back too as you've been very quiet of late. How are you keeping?

Moon sorry you've been feeling so blue (no pun intended)Hope you're starting to feel a bit better. Can you phone the midwife direct and tell her how worried you are? Try to stay positive. There's really no reason why this one won't stick. Remember we're all here to hold your hand on good days and bad. Pedicure? I'm starting to feel very inferior about the state of my nails on this thread!

mermaid You're sounding much more positive. Did I tell you that my aunt had my cousin at 43? Plenty time left.

Kate Last week as a single woman! I get quite excited thinking about your wedding which is bizarre considering I don't know you in RL. No doubt Gracie will tell us all about it while you're on your bd fest honeymoon.

Big waves to MLS ,gracie, 4ever, lion Littlebellsmum, mm, Sabs, Scorpio, Jools, anniecam, Vjay and anyone I've missed.

Molliemooma · 04/05/2009 10:09

Annie So pleased to see the news of your scan
GG Going off alchohol was one of my first symptoms and I was only 5DPO at that point! Good luck with waiting til tomorrow to test
Barbie Glad to hear the throat was nothing sinister, and fantastic news on your new job, well done you I think you need to tell DH that he has to grab somewhere else for yo to get a BFP
4ever How did the treatment go? Hope the needles were kind to you
Neeko So glad AF finally found you to stop you worrying, here's hoping she goes missing for 9 months now
Mermaid How are you feeling now?
Sabs Glad to hear things are better at work, good on you for being a better woman and rising above it all, very proud of you x
Blue & MM How are you both doing? MS kicked in yet?
Scorpio Good luck with your scan, will keep everything crossed for you
Curly Welcome back thanks for the offer of the hugs, definately might come in handy if they don't sort my scan out soon Lol at you tipping the hairdresser after he pointed out grey hairs, you're a better woman than I would have been
Kate Not long now, are you feeling nervous?
Bluemoon I know exactly how you feel, I too just want to see if everything is OK and finding it quite difficult to get sorted. Although GP and MW understand, its the protocol they have to follow that's causing my problems I would ring your MW again and cry a bit

cupcakefairy · 04/05/2009 10:48

Hi girls, can I join in? I've been lurking on this thread for a little while (sorry if that freaks you out!) and I'm feeling it's about time I started to move 'onwards and upwards' too!

I am currently 33 days post medical-management so just waiting very impatiently for af before we can start ttc again... how is everyone?

anniecam38 · 04/05/2009 13:09

Hi ladies, hope everyone enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend. Ive had a lovely weekend but am wiped out today, took DS to Diggerland on Saturday after scan-had brill time, think i had more fun than DS!! Went to a farm yesterday, this wasnt like your normal run of the mill farm, it had the usual sheep, cows etc but also monkeys,llamas,wallabies and camels!!!

Welcome to cupcake, my AF was approx 35 days after natural mc, so hopefully not too long for you to wait.

barbie-Congrats on the nail spa job, pleased for you. Hope your throat is better soon.

Kate-Only 4 days till you get married, is that right?? So exciting!!

Gracie-Fingers crossed for the testing tomorrow, so hoping you get your BFP.

Mollie-Hope you get your scan soon. Will you go for a private scan if you dont get one at your EPU?

Neeko-Glad AF turned up, hopefully you'll get your BFP too this month.

Jools-Hope you had good holiday and you are Ok.

*MLS-Loved the bump pic, you looked fab. I just looked like a beached whale at 8 months with DS.

Curly-Good to see you back, and well done on the mammoth post!.Funny you should say that you can picture a girl for me, as when i showed DH the scan photos he said 'looks like it could be a girl to me'-how he thinks that i will ever know cos it looks like a cross between a jelly baby and a gummi bear!

Waves to Vjay blue Moon mm scorpio sabs lion 4ever mermaid LBM hopefully havent missed anyone, apologies if i have!.

VJaybigpants · 04/05/2009 13:18

Hello all you lovelies, barbie congratulations on the job hope you settle in to it really quickly and enjoy it, you deserve it
curly welcome home hun, don't disappear again you naughty lady.
Welcome to the penthouse cupcake settle yourself in hun you're in the right place to move forward
kate of you going to cadburys world, we last went there when ds was 6 months old, it's fab isn't it, chocolate heaven.
Not much to report here, will be 24 weeks on Wednesday and that has been one milestone I've been looking forward to, we will be viable then! Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend

GracieGirl · 04/05/2009 13:21

CupCakefairy welcome to the daft thread!

Curly I'm very pleased you're back, we missed you!

Barbie well done for getting that job you clever girl!

Moon Have a big hug! Don't feel bad about feeling down, we all know around here that getting a BFP isn't always the sparkly happy time that normal people think it is. Plenty of hands to hold around here and you can feel as grumpy as you like. I know I'll be a nervous wreck when the time comes. Your experience of the GP appointment sounds pretty similar to what I had last time,then saw midwife at 9 weeks. I ended up paying for a private scan last time as couldn't wait till 12 weeks.

And now about me.... Day 31 and AF has just arrived . On the positive side that means I can have a drink or ten at Kate's wedding on friday.

I've just looked ahead at my DH's work schedule, its not looking good, he's away from day 13 to day 21. I ovulated on day 17 last time so not looking hopeful for next month.

Joolsiam · 04/05/2009 13:45

Hi everyone

Got back Sat afternoon - lovely relaxing break with lots of lovely scenic (hard) walks round the coast of the Isle of Man and I kinda did OK on the forgetting about MC front until Friday when I had a bit of a hormone storm and was close to tears all day. Boobs have shrunk even more since then .... Seeing creamy CM which I normally see just before EWCM, so hopefully my cycle is only out by a couple of days ...

Have been in bed more or less since I got back - had a really swollen throat - sore to touch on the outside (thyroid gland ?) all week and am now just completely and utterly exhausted - have spent most of the last 2 days in bed. Can't stay on the PC too long as it hurts my eyes Got a GP appt tomorrow to discuss referral to mc clinic and ask for thyroid blood tests - am now wondering if this is the MC cause as it swelled up this week and am, of course, obsessing

Will catch up properly when I'm feeling better - hope all is well with big, small and medium pants wearers

Huge congrats to MM and well done on the job Barbie - sounds like hard work though Curly - good to hear from you and Mermaid - did I read that you considered leaving us - noooooo don't go - you always cheer me up I hope you are feeling better now

Congrats on the scan Anniecam
