I want to know how my bowel knows its 2am four nights in a row????? I'm wearing out my carpets pacing around tryng to get rid of the pain. Is it bad that I want to pace louder and louder to wake up my DH? We might be out for a walk at 3am at this rate.

Moon I had an ERPC too and I think thats what I'd choose again. I waited a week first. It gave me a definate time that my bean had gone and I didn't have to worry about passing it in the toilet or shower. Also you can be in and out of hospital in a few hours and back at home. Take care Moon.

MummyLovesSadie · 06/06/2009 07:11

Oh Moon what a beautiful & heart-rending poem. I too have tears teaming down my face. It sums up how we all feel. I hope for your sake things get moving for you naturally this weekend. x

Morning everyone. Curly is going to be good today and start studying early. My exams start next week...eek

I have just realised that all this time I've been shortening Littlebellsmum to LBS, and not LBM, which would make you Little Bell Smum instead of *Little Bell's Mum I think I may need to go back to school

Hope everyone is doing okay. I'm going to try and stay off MN till later but might have the odd lurk in case I miss anything. Lots of love to everyone and a massive hug to Moon in the meantime

Curlywurlee · 06/06/2009 08:26

Gracie just saw your post now. Hope you got back to sleep okay honey

Neeko · 06/06/2009 08:30

Morning all. Please excuse my sniffles, I'm still blubbing at moon's poem. You've captured the feelings beautifully. I want to echo the other girls in saying how glad I am that you are staying with us. I had the ERPC too and it was IMO easier as I didn't have to deal with much blood loss or anything else. I knew as soon as the sonographer started the scan that my lo had died so there was never any hope for me. Everyone is different but I needed to have the ERPC to take me out of limbo land. I think they'll let you wait for it to happen naturally so long as there's no chance of infection. Take care.

Gracie sorry you're still struggling. Have you tried dried apricots? One of the little great stuff packets from Asda a day and lots of water should do the trick.

LBM Really annoyed for you about the job but to try and put a positive slant on it - if you're pg this month it'll be better to have a less stressful job?

MLS How's you today? All packed yet?

Curly Is it sinking in yet?

Temp still high for me today and got my cross lines on fertility friend. Funny how happy a couple of red lines have made me! I'm officially on 2ww now but going to concentrate on healthy eating and try to avoid symptom spotting (no, I don't believe me either)

Hello to the rest of you. Hope you all have a happy day today.

Neeko so glad to hear you sounding more upbeat today, guess you are on the 2ww from a very strange cycle now then.

GG Your bowels woke you up & my bladder woke me up at 5 & I've been awake since. Soooooo tired (yet again)!

What a horrible rainy day it is today, bit of a contract from last weekend huh?

OP posts:
Neeko · 06/06/2009 09:14

Sorry, but it's sunny here. Must be to match my mood

VJaybigpants · 06/06/2009 09:17

Good morning,
mls and gracie I will ask for internet connection in the hospital then you can all go through labour with me, how's that?!

*]

VJaybigpants · 06/06/2009 09:21

moon your poem is lovely, it says it all, thanks so much for sharing it. Today is the edd of my 2nd lost angel, I'm ok but that poem is a nice way to remember. Take care, and post as radomley as you want

mermaidspurse · 06/06/2009 10:12

morning loveliesit's raining here which is a bit of a shock after all the sun.

moon random is always good, your poem is lovely and touched me too. I think I agree with the others, I had the tablets once thinking it would be easier, non invasive etc but it was a really hearbreaking day and I would never do it that way again.
Thinking of you over the weekend honey.xx

vjay thoughts also for you today lovely lady. Know its hard maybe especially so. Hope your back is bearing up. We would all be your birthing partners in an instant - can you picture us all

lbm strut your stuff girl - thats awful and you were so made up about it too.

*neeko hope the cold stays at bay, I thought teachers were immune. hope you stay happy I am so keeping my fingers crossed.xx

ginger yeehay long lost lady are you still wading through pages on here?
What is going on with your cycle you poor thing - I really hope it sorts itself out. You do read on here of negatives being wrong don't you.....

gracie make sure the apricots are the natural ones and not covered in whatever it is called sulphate stuff.

mls well done for keeeping your chin up in the face of dhs 'nothing is going on all is normal' phase. Its hard, really hard. Hope your dd gets better soon there are some nasty bugs going around poor wee thing.x

I had restless legs yesterday evening which to me is a big flashing neon warning sign. My nips feel, you know how and I was up at 2 in the morning eating clotted cream and merangues I feel really silly even writing that and have never really symptom spotted before. Mostly I feel scared, if I am what the hell am I going to do.... I am playing out losing another before I am even up the duff. right off to find a bucket to stick head in for the next week

VJaybigpants · 06/06/2009 10:39

Oh mermaid I know what you mean about thinking it's all going to go pear shaped before it's even happened. I actually went into this pg with the thought that if I lost it I could then start on tests as to why! That seems so cold hearted to me now but it was just self preservation.
I do hope you are pg clotted cream and meringues sounds wonderful. I am so hungry right now even though I've not long had breakfast.

What are all my lovely birthing partners up to today?

GracieGirl · 06/06/2009 12:09

Finally got my full nights sleep in little bits. Midnight till 2am, 3:30 till 6am and 7am till 10:30am. The alternative way to 8 hours sleep!

Thanks Neeko and Mermaid I will try dried apricots with no sulphate stuff on them.

MLS sorry you are having insomnia too.

Curly stop lurking and get some studying done!

Neeko that is a strange cycle, no wonder we are all confused!

Mermaid I do hope your symptom spotting turns out to be a BFP!

Morning Vjay have a big hug today for your 2nd lost angel.

cupcakefairy · 06/06/2009 12:21

Morning everyone...we are having a HUGE thunderstorm here in Cardiff, quite exciting! DH dragged me to the door in my PJs to watch it

Neeko I'm really excited by your temp rise and crossing lines too! My temp crept up to 98.8 this morning and I have had a couple of waves of nausea like the last time but no idea if I'm imagining them! I have one aching boob which is very odd

Sorry everyone seems to be suffering with colds...is that a symptom?? Cos last time, I got a cold pretty much straight after ov and that was the month I was pregnant...

Mermaid your symptoms sound promising too, hope it's the month for you, me and Neeko I'm going to test the day before we fly to France if AF hasn't arrived, then at least if it's BFN I can console myself with lots of gooey french cheese and wine!

Moon your poem was beautiful...made me well up too. Especially the bit about giving your own heartbeat I think we can all relate.

Gracie glad you managed some sleep in the end! Hope your pain eases up with all the MN remedies!

MLS it is so reassuring to hear everyone's DH is the same about it all isn't it! Even with my first pregnancy DH just never talked about it unless I brought it up.

Hope all you lovely ladies are well this morning

Curlywurlee · 06/06/2009 12:34

Oops caught in the act of unauthorised lurling by supersleuth gracie

But while I'm here, can I give a big hug to the lovely VJ who is always there for everyone else. Thinking about you and your second lost agnel today xxx

Mermaid you need some serious distraction for the next week Meringues sound like a good start I know it is worrying but I'n hoping and praying for that BFP for you.

Neeko it's freezin (slight exageration) in London. Where do you live? I'll be right over to catch some of that sunshine. I'll keep everything crossed for your 2ww. What do crossed lines mean btw?

MLS I think a cheeky saturday snooze might be in order for you

Hello Miss Cupcake (still making me hungry that name ) the symptoms are sounding most promising, here's hoping for another run of BFPs When would AF be due?

Hope Moon and everyone else is doing okay xxx

Alright, I'll go study. See you all later

cupcakefairy · 06/06/2009 12:39

Hi Curly - your name actually makes me hungry too cos I think of Curly Wurlies! Mmmm...
AF would normally be due day 32, a week from now, (but only second cycle post-mc and last one was 42 days so who knows) but I am going to try very hard not to test until day 34!

bluesatinsash · 06/06/2009 17:31

Hi ladies,

Sneaked off from DS's b'day celebrations for a wee catch up. His party was a roaring success this morning and so painless compared to last year's 'chez blue' (trying to make 15 Annabel Karmel mini mouse pizza's and the olives wouldn't cut in half for the noses - aaargh!).

Anyway just wanted to say your poem was beautiful Moon especially the bit about giving your own heart to your baby . I would second having an ERPC for all the reasons given as it really helps you move on physically with minimum bleeding. My first natural mc dragged on for weeks after initial violent loss in bathroom . I honestly couldn't believe the amount you can pass..

Neeko - thanks for update on Grey's - sounded like a vintage episode! I love it in the way I used to love West Wing/Frasier/S&TC etc. etc. All the fab programmes that have bitten the dust!

MLS - so touched you remembered my fireworks story from last NY Eve and yes what a way to go if I gave birth on NY day one year to the date of ERPC... My DH was v. detached this time around too, we had big chat after first scare and he admitted not being able to get his hopes up. He has been fantastic since and was so happy when we told his parents an hour ago - cue lots of crying (his Mum had several mc's due to incompetent cervix).

Vjay - I'm only 2 hours away if you need me and am happy to help out in Aug/Sept!

LBM - sorry your new job turned out to be a bogey one - rather find out now though than one week into it...

MM - lovely to see you back and so so chuffed for you

Got my fingers crossed for Mermaid, Neeko and Ginger - BFP's seem to come in three's....

Better dash, dinner is being served, why do I bother as I'm only going to throw it up in an hour .

love to all x

bluesatinsash · 06/06/2009 17:32

Vjay - forgot to say sorry about your sad EDD day . Bet you gave your bump an extra special hug/stroke...

BlueMoon1981 · 06/06/2009 18:22

evening ladies

i'm sorry for making you all sad with my poem, i didn't mean to, it was more for my own sanity than anything else, but i am glad you could relate to it. its horrible we have met under such awful circumstances, but good we can help each other. i for one would be lost without you.

gracie i second neeko with the dried apricots, always works for me!

neeko and mermaid fingers crossed for you this month on the 2 ww

vjay thinking of you and ur 2nd lost angel

curly poor you having exams - what are you studying? thanks for the chat last night x
