mollie so when are you going to be brave and tell people? any signs of a bump?? gosh i so excited for you

Joolsiam · 04/06/2009 19:27

Wooohoooo Curly

Mollie - hello stranger

Barbie - I had a lump in / under my throat - turned out to be a very swollen thyroid gland that came up after the mc. apparently this is quite common - went down again and thyroid tests normal - maybe it is that ?

IBS - if you can get it, have a few spoons of Activia plain yoghourt every day. Peppermint tea helps aswell

barbie1 · 04/06/2009 19:30

thanks jools how are you this eve? Thinking about you again in the gym today!

Curlywurlee · 04/06/2009 19:31

High 5 mermaid thanks for putting up with me all week.

Hey Mollie it's so lovely to see ya. Congrats on the nuchal scan. I guess I am just at the start of this whole journey but it's definitely a big step forward for you to get the nuchal scan out of the way xxx

Curlywurlee · 04/06/2009 19:32

thanks a million Jools how are things?

barbie1 · 04/06/2009 19:45

Phew thankfully my mum should be fine, seem sher foot swelled due to the heat and the infection came from broken skin...back on meds.

curly you have really made my day, im off to bed to dream that one day it might be me....dont go leaving us now though will you?

Night night all, catch up laters xxxx

Molliemooma · 04/06/2009 19:45

Curly OH MY GOD I completely missed your post woooohooooo congratulations to you and Mr Curly, fantastic news, so very very pleased for you
Really hope this is a start of a new run of BFP's, come on girls get busy

Barbie Glad you got the message x

Thanks for the lovely messages, glad you remember me If anyone wants a nosey I have posted a pic on my profile

Curlywurlee · 04/06/2009 19:49

Oh Mollie, that's a proper baby in there

Night Barbie glad your mum is okay

cupcakefairy · 04/06/2009 19:50

CURLY!!!!!!!!! Oh my word, I knew it!! I'm sooo pleased for you (and loving the name change, no more small panties for you!!) It's ok, we forgive you for making us wait seeing as this is the result YAY!

barbie I soo feel like a hypochondriac at times too DH is always rolling his eyes when I come up with the next problem! I just worry so much about everything! Recently a friend of ours had a lump in his throat...after months of scans and tests they eventually removed it and turned out to be nothing; bodies just do weird things. And I agree af/ovulation could easily be delayed by all this stress you've been under.

Eeeee, come on ladies, more BFPs, this will be a good month
to mollie too and congratulations

Joolsiam · 04/06/2009 19:53

Sleep well Barbie

Back is killing me today after treatment this morning - I was quite wonky and had to be realigned

My parents have just announced a royal visit on Sat, so I'm running around trying to wrap birthday pressies for them (bdays one week apart - same age) and clear up the house, and cook dinner and do all the work I haven't got done today - need WINE

Curly - I'll raise a glass to you [grn]

BlueMoon1981 · 04/06/2009 20:14

i am not stopping but i had to say congrats to curly and mollie ur baby is beautiful, i had to hold my breath so i didnt cry.

please forgive me for not posting, i am really struggling and dont feel up to sharing, i hope you dont think badly of me. i'm lurking so i know you're all ok xxx

bluesatinsash · 04/06/2009 20:23

oh Curly!!! - that is just fantastic news - Congratulations . So happy for you, Mr Curly and your bean. You have always written such warm, positive and encouraging posts I really hope we can all be there over the next few weeks holding your hand.

Hey Mollie - you're like the no. 7 bus, don't speak for a while then twice in the one day! Your scan picture is amazing, the clearest 12 week scan I've ever seen .

Barbie, darling, so glad your Mum is OK and your hopefully tucked up in bed getting some well deserved rest. How are DH's 30th b'day plans coming along?

Mermaid - I voted too, with the suffragette song from Mary Poppins ringing in my ears as I dragged my knackered arse down to the polling station .

MLS - hope your've recovered from 'spidergate' and your lurgy to boot.

Thanks everyone for your kind words, they really warm the old cockles.

Here's to more BFPs.....

iggypiggy · 04/06/2009 20:24

mollie congratulations

moon so pleased you posted - have been thinking of you. I don't think anyone would think badly of you for not posting, I def don't - you should just do whatever you feel like doing - we are all here whenever you want us xx

Jools was it osteopath or Chiro you went to? I go to an osteopath and is like magic - think am a bit addicted to it..

barbie That is good news about your mum. night night.

bluesatinsash · 04/06/2009 20:29

Sorry Moon x-post

You do whatever you feel right now. The next few days will be the hardest leading up to your ERPC. The only bright side is one day you will look back and realise how strong you are for getting through it again. Have you read Dr Reagan's book? I bought it after my 2nd mc and found it comforting and reassuring not to give up.

You will be in my thoughts all weekend x

MummyLovesSadie · 04/06/2009 20:32

Hello my lovelies, I'm suddenly feeling much better. I'm very excited at the prospect of Big Brother 10 starting tonight, yes I know it's sad but unfortunately very true! .

Curly still smiling at your news!

Jools I always leave buying family birthday presents until I know I'm going to see the person, which usually means a last minute dash round the shops to buy any old tat!

Barbie so glad your Mum is on the mend & it isn't anything serious. Parents are such a worry when they get older aren't they! I'd highly recommend acupuncture for your tummy & af problems. I had three sessions after mc & it really did regulate af & made the blood a more healthy colour (should be bright red apparently). Didn't you say it's really expensive over there - about £50?

Mollie welcome back & congrats on the fantastic scan. I keep looking at your pic.... it really does look like a baby huh?! Are you going to do a fb status change type announcement? Now that is the kind of announcement I myself can't wait to do in a few weeks time

Iggy if you want tips, have you tried pre-seed? What about grapefruit juice - it worked for me the first month I tried it which is just as well as the taste is foul!

Yay Gracie's back! We were all worried about you & thought something had happened. Did your gp give you a due date? I too did a test this week ! Well I wanted to use my last one & like you, I did it on the morning of my gp appointment yesterday.

Kate hope the swine-flu leaves you alone soon.... I've had it all week but feel much better now !

Neeko are you around or are you working on your 5th night in a row? I'm very excited about you this month, I think it was a sign that you thought af was here but it was just spotting - it's a sign I tell you!!

Well that dead soggy spider is STILL in my sink! I'm going to have to get dh to get rid of it when he comes home tomorrow which is a shame as he hates the things almost as much as I do! Right I'm off to get another mini milk.... hmmmm I think I'll go for the strawberry this time!

MummyLovesSadie · 04/06/2009 20:39

Forgot to say:

Moon I've really been thinking about you lots. Glad you posted to say you are still lurking. Totally understand your inability to post more than you have. Just come back properly when you are ready & know that we really are all thinking about you, wishing the best for you, sending strong vibes your way & holding out arms for hugs.

Blue thanks for updating us on your latest scan. So pleased it's all going well & your bean is a sticky one. Now..... stop disappearing!

OMG we are over half-way through this thread

OP posts:
MummyLovesSadie · 04/06/2009 20:41

Is anyone else watching Big Brother tonight or is it just me & the spider?

OP posts:
SabsBigPants · 04/06/2009 20:45

MLS secret BB watcher....but i think i might just watch today to see who the contestants are and try not to watch any more! I say that every year and end up watching the whole season which winds up DH no end! I cant plan friday nights after because i want to watch eviction night

VJaybigpants · 04/06/2009 20:55

moon we don't think bad of you hun, we all really feel for you and are here as and when you need us. Like blue I bought Dr Regans book after 2nd mc and found it very helpful, I do reccomend it.

mermaid I'm fine thanks, my back feels better just needed to rest up for a bit.

barbie night night hun, glad your mum is ok.

mollie are you ready to join us bigpanters now? Update yourself when you're ready

I voted today too but did via postal vote, clever VJay

SabsBigPants · 04/06/2009 20:57

curly oh my god! CONGRATULATIONS! can you tell how happy i am for you! YAY!

and mollie how can we forget you!so happy that all is well!

and a big non-MN hug to barbie hope your ok hun....

VJaybigpants · 04/06/2009 20:59

hiya sabs what are you now, about 24 weeks?

MummyLovesSadie · 04/06/2009 21:00

Sabs my dh says every year "I'm not watching that crap" but he always gets sucked in! I agree with you about the Friday nights though - no more Friday nights out now until September, having said that, once you have your baby there will be no more nights out on any day of the week!

These mini milks are really rather nice, shame they are so blimmin small!

OP posts:
VJaybigpants · 04/06/2009 21:04

I like their shape

SabsBigPants · 04/06/2009 21:06
