Emmsy's onwards & upwards part four.... more BFP's please!!

[MummyLovesSadie]

Just trying on Barbie's shoes for size as we are desperate for a new thread & needs must...... blimey aren't your feel small!!

4ever yep I'm here gorgeous and pissed off lady. ditto ditto and ditto

am kindda loitering around the edges of mermaidland both virtual and rl. don't mean to make anyone feel down but phew its shit.
Can you talk to your consultant who did all the white coat stuff? for your dh too with his hand. Your af isn't here yet though is it?? Maybe its good to let your body settle, let it do a bit of perculating and start again this coming month.
am almost feeling that I need to go and find a home in the mc section or looney too old and too many mc section or the stone the crows you ovulate that early??&^&% section - small grimace - not worthy of any type of smiley - What are we to do.
I can't deal with up beat and am settling for some sort of depressed jack dee state and am wearing my favourite oldest holeyest sack for want of a better description... the joys of working from home.
Just hold on, it is going to be ok, you have been through so, so much and are bound to be feeling all over the place.xx

Mermaid sorry you're feeling low too. Today's thread should be "Emmsy's depressed, overworked, jealous of fertile women and struggling to go on" (No offence to the lovely fertile ladies on this thread - we're only a teensy bit jealous of you )

Cupcake I'm going to try to rise to the challenge... We change timetable on Monday and I have accidentally overheard a couple of pupils being pleased that I'll be their teacher... (Will that do? I think it counts if you ignore the fact that I don't want to be their teacher because I should have gone on maternity leave on September 1st )

Hope the cloud lifts for us all soon. If I have to feel this way I'd rather share it with you all than anyone else.

Annie tell us all about your scan later to give us hope and cheer us up.

Come on Annie come back from your scan with good news to cheer us up!!! We're relying on you!

Bugger - just wrote a whole page and lost it!

right....im going to shake up this thread and try to make you all smile.....

barbie wonders around scratching her head, thinking what would make you all smile.....

Ps im here cos i pulled a sickie this afternoon!

lion let me give you a hug.

4ever I'm sorry you got a BFN , stick with us, us newbies are't so bad and we'll miss you and Barbie and Mermaid if you disapear. I can't imagine how much stress you must be under with your treatment and having to get pregnant within 3 months. Have you read this?

MLS I think Cupcake is right, they often can't see enough on a 6 week scan, do you think your sanity will stretch until 7-8 weeks?

CupofTea sounds like you need a hug too.

Iggy Does your DH not realise he is only allowed to get man flu during the 2 week wait!

Mermaid don't leave us!

Cupcake we are a miserable bunch today aren't we, but I do like your challenge. I'll see what I can do. If that doesn't work maybe we need a group hug!

Is there room for another miserable one today? Or shall I wait until tomorrow? May as well get it over with. I'm just grumpy, had to park next to Obs and Gynae for work all week and walk past the line of pregnant teenagers smoking outside the door every day.

My best friend in the whole world who I fell out with about 7 months ago has got back in touch (he did reappear to look after me when I had my miscarriage but then he went again) its complicated and don't know what to do!

I'm on day 25 and I can't take the 2 WW anymore!!!!!

I need my DH come come and live at home again and work locally!

I cried for an hour over an email from Boots saying "you are 26 weeks pregnant" - no I'm bloody not!!!!!!!

Oh girls! You always make me feel better! I was feeling a bit beyond help and 'no-one understands me' but of course you do! Wallowing a bit too deep I fear. Mermaid lovely lady, sounds like we are in the same place right now. Both wondering if we should start a 'too many mc/losing hope' forum but no hon, we must stay here and do battle. I agree, 'upbeat' can spurn on the urge to rip peoples heads off when feeling low, crap & despondent, but we will be upbeat again someday (soon) I reckon! TBH just the image of you doing Jack Dee state of depression in your holiest cardi did make me smile, prob cos I saw me & realised DEF not alone, so hope my rant made you feel a bit the same?! All these girls have such big hearts and altho we are all at diff stages of our journey we are here to pull each other up so long may that continue...

Jools you sound so positive hon & its all fresh for you. Interesting, but worrying about the OV. Not sure tbh, figured 28 days, OV on day 14, however day 28 is today & no sign of the evil one yet . Will invest in sticks for this time round to be sure! Will join you and Neeko in BD race then?! Neeko you are so lovely too, bless you shedding a tear at my misery & wanting my BFP as much as I do! Eyes glazed over when I read your post, and thanks v much for the offer of dinner! Its v heartwarming that you are all instantly here to pick a girl up and dust her down with a hair stroke and a hot meal!

Iggy and Cupoftea Iv not even said a proper hi to you two and you are both right on the mark with your lovely responses too! So sorry BFN for you too Cupoftea and sounds v sad about your childminder. Thats the worst bit of mc, all the plans, that are then broken. I think thats what made me so down, is now feel scared to plan ANYTHING for fear of it going wrong, which means I cant look forward, and not being able to look forward means not much hope, its all quite day to day now. For a bit of a control OCD freak thats hellish I tell ya! Anyway cupoftea join Jools *Neeko and I on the BD battle!

I'm off to eat chocolate as instructed by Cupcake! Another lovely girl Iv not even properly welcomed yet, sorry sweetie!

Sorry another waffle! I do feel a bit better than this morning though, just dreading the long weeks ahead til the next test time, at least 3 and a half weeks away feels like eternity! I feel like a kid in a car 'are we there yet' (repeat 100000000x).. Groundhog day indeed.

Gracie I agree, wheres Annie we need good news and hope!

So sorry I do feel Iv spread my doom a bit & I hope we all feel a bit better soon, we need the clouds to lift, but I cant thank you enough for being so lovely, and saying just the right things. Love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

worked for me!

4ever now i see you are back as well as mermaid that made me smile

What a bunch of miserys we are! thats why i love it here, we can be whoever we want to be and everyone will understand....feeling your pain 4ever please dont give up...

gg how much was the postage..i dread to think!

Gracie promise im not going anywhere. Mermaid, Barbie, can us girls make a pact on that? We gotta stick together, and you newbies are more than not bad, you're adorable lovely ladies. So sorry you are also feeling so crap. Is the mc hormone witch on her broomstick doing the rounds or something? Horrible to have PG teenagers rubbed in your face, specially smoking, thoughtless bitches . V crap at the boots mail too, think we had similar dates, my last was due 8/9/9. Will hold your hand when needed babe, you must miss DH terribly, cant even imagine how hard that is.. BTW -that link is great thanks, always heard about it but never seen it. Printing it off & nailing it to the bed!

Barbie yea you deserve that sickie. Cmon - make us smile, make us laugh, do a dance & a song, even better send a private jet and bring us all over for some sunshine whilst we group hug & eat chocolate, no pressure tho..! xxxxxxxxxxx

Hello my lovelies, I've found you!!! I got a bit lost with the 2 threads
Huge waves to 4ever and mermaid and barbie I've missed you
Sorry everyone is feeling down, even I was this morning too, must be something in the air today. Ds was a little monster this morning, I got so upset with him which set my mood for the day, but on the way to school he just said, 'sorry mum', which was brilliant for him, so I did cheer up a bit.
Loved the utube link barbie I did have a giggle.
annie thinking of you, will keep refreshing the page to see how you've got on

I'm glad to see there are still some things to smile about
Mine are:
-a phone call from my sister at lunch time
-a photo in Hello magazine of Amy Adams knitting during a filming break
-the sun has finally come out in Wales

...and that's about it for today!

Barbie good on you for pulling that sicky!
4ever I'm glad you're sticking with us
Eek gracie about your friend, sounds hard... hope you guys can work things out.

I bet Annie is still sat in a waiting room... we had to wait almost an hour every time we went to the EPU

I've risen to CupCake's challenge to find something that made me smile today.
Just been to Post Office to post Barbie's 20 pregnancy tests and 20 ovulation kits, it only occurred to me when I got there that I would have to fill in a customs form to tell any nosey parkers what's in the package . Also the address Barbie has given me is her husband's name and what sounds like a work address. Didn't really want the whole of Mr Barbie's work colleagues to know their business when the parcel arrives shouting "I'm full of pregnancy tests!" .
Ended up asking the 2 MALE staff there what to write, (they hadn't got a clue what ovulation kits are! Luckily they didn't ask me to explain!)they couldn't think of anything that vaguely desribed a pregnancy test that wasn't an outright lie, then 2 more MALE customers came in so ended up doing a survey!!! The final joint decision we came up with was "testing kits".

I CAN NEVER SHOW MY FACE AT THAT POST OFFICE AGAIN!!!

4ever my due date was 03/09/09 so we were pretty close. I'm pleased you are feeling a bit more positive. I bet Mr 4ever will be scared to death when he reads the Deanna Plan!! You'd better feed him his weetabix and tell him to eat his greens, he needs to keep his strength up!!

Well done Barbie for pulling a sickie!!!

Any news from Annie??

Lol gracie that has made me laugh

Girls you have cheered me up so much. barbie I laughed til I cried at that woman at the petrol station. I actually laughed so loudly that a collegue came in to see what I was doing
gracie Loving the blokes survey,. Bet there's one of them down the pub with their mates saying "Do you know what an ovulation test is?" [Grin]
If the friend is the one you talked about on thread 2 who gave you your nickname then you should give him another chance IMO. Old friends are easy to lose and hard to replace. Chin up.

Annie Hope it went well. We're waiting

Hi all,

Can I please join??

I had a missed miscarriage 5 weeks ago and started ttc again as soon as the bleeding had stopped which was about 4 weeks ago. My dr told me that it was ok to ttc again straight away as it took over a year for me to conceive as i have PCOS.

I still haven't had AF and was hoping it was because I was pregnant again but I just took a test and it was negative. I feel really sad and fed up. I know it's still very soon but the thought of having to wait another year really depresses me, I feel like giving up on the whole ttc thing. I already have a DS who is 3, and can't help but think that I'm being selfish wanting more.

Sorry for the long post x

Hi Becks welcome to the thread and sorry for your loss. We're not always as glum as today - I'm promise!

Neeko Yes thats the friend, he's the Will to my Gracie! He was my Head Bridesmaid! I will give him another chance and probably a thousand other chances after that. I think thats the problem - I'm far too soft and I love him to bits! Also alot of people have a problem with my best friend being male, not gay, good looking, lead-singer-in-a-band confident, and a complete tart!! My DH has no problem with it at all as Will set me and DH up on our first date.
Will needs to stop sleeping with all my friends though! Its causes me no end of trouble!

Hello Becks! Welcome to our thread. I imagine you have lurked for a while, but if you haven't we're not always this grumpy! I remember you from the other thread.
Prof Regan's Miscarriage book says you can TTC again as soon as you stop bleeding as long as you were still the the 1st trimester. You are not selfish wanting another child.

cupcake The maternity wear was a pain, but to be fair she doesn't know about my mc. ANd why does the knitting make you smile?! Or is the key point that I don't know who Amy Adams is - so therefore am missing joke

mermaid sorry you feel sad today too

Gracie I know! I should maybe draw up some rules... 'man flu only after ovulation' etc. The end bit of the 2ww is the worst is't it.. have fingers crossed for you. Also your story made me laugh - am loving idea of men in post office discussing ovulation sticks

4ever glad you staying around and thanks for welcome am sure there are many more ups and downs for all of us with the ttc after mc business.. agree is so nice to have everyone on here to talk to.

barbie thanks for that link

becks nice to see you over here after chatting on the emmsy's thread

oh yes - not sure this will make anyone smile, but my dog is currently doing something obscene to his bed - is like he is ttc a dog/bed hybrid..

hi girls

big welcome to becks 4ever and neeko the evil af has a lot to answer for

gracie hope you are ok big hug xxxxx

Im back after my mammouth wait in the Ante natal clinic!

I am utterly and totally relieved, all is well with my jellybean. I am measuring 13 weeks and 3 days, so 5 days over what i thought i was, and yes, i did cry when the consultant (who did the scan) told me all was well.
The clinic was running very late, we got there for just after 3pm, my appointement was for 3.20pm, finally got scanned at 5.30pm
The only problem ive got now is i wont be able to have my nuchal scan next week as i will be over the cut off point of 13w 6d. Im just going to have the triple test at 16 weeks instead.

Will update myself on THE LIST.
