cupcake sorry af got you, but loving your positive list
moon I really feel for you, you just described my 2nd mc, horrible. Enjoy dh cooking for you, he sounds like a fab dh. Take some time for yourself while you're off, you have been so very brave

mermaidspurse · 11/06/2009 17:54

moon oh honey thank goodness for long sick notes, lovely gorgeous dhs who can cook and look after you. That sounds like my last one. You needed all the lovely hysterectomy ladies to tell off the nurses and drs on your behalf like they did for me at stupid oclock. You must be absolutely exhausted the both of you, take lots of care of each other and enjoy being home.xx

cupcake for you too, I don't think I am far behind you either. but yeah to holidays, cheese lots of lovely wine and uninhibited luvvvvvvvvv.

Curlywurlee · 11/06/2009 19:12

(curly sneaks in clutching her beautifully crafted study timetable that she's done instead of actually studying)

Hey Moon you poor poor love , I am so glad it is over for you now. Hopefully all pregnancy symptoms will be gone and you can enjoy some large glasses of wine, nice food and lots of snuggling on the couch. I'm sending you a massive hug and I'm so proud of you for getting through this xxx

Big waves to everyone else. I mustn't loiter but I'm delighted to see vjs bump, blues graduation and also that our lovely Jools (who we would never want to be without) is back on MN Sorry about AF cupcake but that is a fab list and next month will be cupcake month

I miss you all. I'll lurk after my exam on Saturday in the hope of good news xxx

bluesatinsash · 11/06/2009 19:30

oh Moon - what a horrific time you had so glad your home with your DH now. Now concentrate on lots of R&R and physical and emotional time out and healing...

curly - lol at your fancy studying timetable - I was so that girl - spending hours colour coding my study timetable inbetween sneakily reading Just 17 - neither wonder I didn't set the heather on fire academically!

cupcake - sorry TEW has shown up. Really like your reasons not to be pg for this month - enjoy your hols and drink fuelled bd

Thanks for well wishes girls, these big pants are so roomy even though they give the mother of a VPL . We're off to Crieff tomorrow (birth place of Ewan McGregor you know!) for a long weekend with 18 adults and 12 children. So lovely to have a holiday with good news attached to it .

onwards and upwards x

anniebigpants · 11/06/2009 21:09

Evening lovelies.

Blue-So happy your 12 week scan went well, its great to be told you're further on than you thought you were, like you i was 6 days further on, even though i was sure when i ovulated, i dont think i ov'd on Day 8, but that is by the by anyway.
We were both due in August together and now we're both due in December, so happy for both of us XX.

VJay-Lovely bump pic, i cant wait til i look properly pregnant!

Moon-So glad yesterday is over, sounds horrific, much like my last mc. I would make sure you take iron tablets even if you havent been prescribed them. I was discharged from hospital with no advice on taking iron tablets and felt ill for days afterwards, very dizzy and weak, soon as i started taking iron tablets( bought over the counter) i felt 100% better, take them with orange juice for better absorption.

Much love to everyone else, i,ll be back tomorrow.

Neeko · 11/06/2009 22:06

Moon You've been so brave. I'm so sorry it was so awful for you, as if miscarriage isn't awful enough. Make sure you take as much time off as you need and don't go back until you are physically 100%. Thinking of you and know that we're here for all the emotional stuff.

Cupcake Sorry she got you. Fate obviously thinks you and your lovely husband need one last child-free holiday before the twins come along! Glad you have a happy list. It feel stupid to write it but it helps.

cupcakefairy · 11/06/2009 22:33

Awww I would love twins neeko! thanks for wishing them on me The other day at work someone started the conversation of 'how many kids do you want?' everyone was like 'one or two' and I was like 'I want a whole army!!' (dh and I both from big families and love it!) ...just want to get started, come on body!

Girls can you believe we need another new thread soon?? love it. Have a lovely time away blue so glad you can relax and share your happy news!

hopingalways · 11/06/2009 23:17

after the blood tests I'm quietly freaking out (this is my base state of being though, I'm about as highly strung as a tightrope). It seems that quite a few MNers who've had RMCs already had a DC or 2 first. I'm new to this, have there been a few MNers you know about who've had multiple MC then gone on to have healthy babies? Can't bear the thought that might never be able to carry to term

moon thoughts are with you, that was an awful ordeal [hug]

4everhopeful · 12/06/2009 08:15

Bluesatin really glad you got the that 12 week marker hon and congrats on graduating!

Cupcake huff & fiddlesticks that AF got you! Great positives tho, and I agree with Curly next month will be cupcake month!

BLuemoon you poor soul - have a big hug... Sounds like a horrendous experience, Im so sorry... v similar to my 2nd, a day in hospital is so draining so stay in bed/on sofa for a few days, try & switch off & recover slowly at your own pace, thank god for supportive DHs and lovely nurses! Sending your DH a hug too, I really feel for DHs cos its horrible for them watching us go through that pain.. I agree about the steak, did the same thing, apparently a banana 30mins-1hr beforehand, also v much helps iron absorbtion.. You are very brave honey xxxxx

Mrskate Im equally confused by my ovulation

Hey Curly hope youre beautifully crafted study plan brings you luck! Sticky thoughts to you & your cargo!

Barbie and bean(!) hope you are not overworking too bad and chilling when you can... x

Hi Annie hows the pants fitting?!

Morning Mermaid how you holding up? (breaking into song from Annie - 'tomorrow, tomorrow'!!!!) Just said a little prayer for you.. xx

You too Iggy! Rooting for you girlies!

Hoping glad you are back! Join us on freak out street! Dont worry about doing it quietly, Iv been v loud about it this morning! Seriously, you arent alone, i worry every day if Ill get to be a mum, but remember our names ok? (4ever wags finger at self too). Some girls here have had more than 1 mc and are now in bigpants so it can happen!

Gracie MLS Jools Vjay hope you are enjoying your hols away from home (i have got that right havent I?)

Neeko what is going on with your cycle girl?! Whens test day?

Im sooooooo confused by my ov now, 3 days of dark lines on OPK since tues, but ov pain on tues night?!? . Was awake at 4.30am and had teary moment with DH as dont think we BD enough, only tues afternoon, wed morn & night, and missed yesterday as was shattered from concert, so started panicing this morning, did BD after my tears tho, but up at 5.30am so hopefully enough time to marinate? Im really intrigued what test will say today?! Spoke to DH about you girls & that do appreciate him being excited & up for it, & dont wanna turn it into a scheduled 'we must do it now' thing cos of pressure ect... DH is great, he just called to check im ok, I was a bit of a stroppy cow really, hes been v understanding & sweet thank god! This is all so exhausting! Main thing is, when am I ov? Tests have really confused me? Someone on here said they had pains but test showed ov was afew days later so am wondering same thing?! If ov pains were tues night then any BD now is way too late? My tummy is all churning.. I was a stompy girly driving in and had road rage at someone .. Just need to chill out I guess - how do do that again? Maybe a half day for me...

Molliemooma · 12/06/2009 08:16

Sabs Hope you are having a wonderful time in Rome, very sorry to hear of your family loss
4ever at being pg for 40 wks with nothing to show for it, let's hope you can rectify that very very soon I checked out your link to Naturally 7 they are amazing!
Neeko Sounds like you have been a very busy girl
Mermaid Your such a good bunny going to the gym (even if you're suffering now) I bet it's just a distraction though so you don't test
Kate Glad you've managed to salvage some photo's, who needs to worry about a big hole when you've got wedding photo's
Blue Congratulations on getting your big pants on! So glad all went well with your scan. Enjoy your weekend x
Barbie FFS what is wrong with your GP!!!!! Can't believe the stupid cow telling you that, she should be struck off! Like someone else mentioned how on earth can she diagnose an m/c over the bloody phone! I hope you are trying to take it easy and getting plenty of rest (when you can) and eating young lady!
GG Your family tree outing sounded really interesting, and such a good distraction What's the next plan whilst you keep your head in the sand? I too suffer with IBS and really struggled with it due to the ms in the early stages, not eating makes it all much worse! Unfortunately I've just had to put up with it but it has definately eased over the last few wks.
VJay Lovely bump
Iggy Have fun at the osteopaths!
Cupcake So sorry she got you, lol at listening to High School Musical, love the positive list, keep your chin up
Jools Hope you are having a lovely relaxing time
Moon It's not as if you've suffered enough without that god awful experience yesterday, I am so sorry it was so bad for you. I feel very lucky that I opted for ERPC's with mine as I don't think I could have gone through what you did. Be strong, be kind to yourself and rest
hoping There are lots of MNers who have had RMC's and gone onto have healthy babies, a friend of mine on another thread has just had a gorgeous little boy after 3m/c's and he's her first child. If I can hang onto this one it will be my 4th pg but my first child and there are few others on here in the same boat too. Don't give up "hope" remember your name, be positive hun it is hard to see light at the end of the tunnel but that's what we're all here for

I met my consultant for the first time yesterday, he is such a lovely man, even more lovely for giving me another scan in 3 wks time! Bless him, he said that it was far too long and stressful to wait for the 20 wks scan so have another one booked for 2nd July, I think I love him

GracieGirl · 12/06/2009 08:42

Morning girls, just lurking from my DH's iPhone. I was on nights last night and my pains came back even worse. Tried my best to hide them but working in A&E around lots of doctors and nurses its a bit challenging. One of the doctors checked me over and has admitted me to the gynae ward as a possible ectopic pregnancy. Sat here trying to pretend its not happening.

Joolsiam · 12/06/2009 08:51

Oh Gracie fingers and toes tightly crossed and thinking of you today.

4everhopeful · 12/06/2009 08:53

Oh god Gracie . Im praying hard you are ok, please let them scan you ASAP... Really hoping all is well for you, will keep checking, please let us know when u can.. Sending a massive squeezy hug & a bucket of sand for your head if it would help the next couple of hours pass by until hopefully good news comes through xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 12/06/2009 08:56

Morning Jools and Mollie - feel sick to my stomuch about what Gracies going through.. Was all oh woe me, that puts things in perspective...

Glad you have a great consultant Mollie and you have another scan so soon. Jools are you still at hotel? My fried brain got it wrong, Sabs in Rome not Vjay, and poor Gracie obviously not away either...

God im really praying for you here honey... xxx

Neeko · 12/06/2009 08:59

Oh God Gracie I am rooting for you. Really hope it's all ok.

4ever you can have ov pains before, during or after ovulation. Since you're not temping you have to just go with the opks. You've done a lot of BDing this week and I'm sure you'll be ok.

Mollie Hope this one is a really sticky one for you. How many weeks are you now?

barbie I second the hope you are eating brigade!

Hoping You're time will come. I'm certain of that. Chin up.

Cupcake How are you feeling today? Can't be long til your hols now.

MLS texted me yesterday and is asking for you all. She's hoping for some news on BFPs tomorrow.

HI to everyone else.

Joolsiam · 12/06/2009 09:08

Hi 4Ever - just left hotel this morning - it wasn't a holiday though - I am up in Wales for work. It is nice to see the rest of my team though, and the hotel truly is lovely so I look forward to getting back there in the evenings

I have meetings starting at 9.30, but will check in on Gracie - I hope it is just a very very snuggly burrowing bean and they are worrying over nothing x x x

iggypiggy · 12/06/2009 09:15

Just a v. quick post.

gracie will be thinking of you today - really really hope everything is ok xxxx

cupcakefairy · 12/06/2009 09:27

Oh no Gracie you poor love; I hate that all the pregnancies for the girls on this thread are fraught with worry, it's so unfair. Really praying everything will be ok.

Hi Neeko I'm feeling ok - dh and I ate lots of chocolate last night; I think he was a bit upset too (he said 'did I not eat enough brazil nuts?' ) But yeah, hols on Tues...last day in work today

hoping you can definitely freak out with us here lovely! We will ALL get our LOs eventually

Curly YAY! Lovely to see you popping back in... thinking of you with the exams.

mermaid and iggy hope you're both ok today

4ever I second Neeko - sounds to me like you've done plenty enough bd! Now just relax and think of ways to pass the 2ww

Hope all you other beauts are ok this morning.

mermaidspurse · 12/06/2009 10:14

gracie my heart has sunk into my flip flops. Thinking of all three of you.xxx

4ever a bit of road rage always makes you feel better This time frame thing with you must really be a huge stress. But looking at it logically you have always 'marinated' well in the past so with everything firmly crossed you have got to travel hopefully through the next few weeks.

jools always missing you and always lovin ya too. I am hoping you have a much better weekend. I am guessing that you are all strong during the week strutting your stuff with blackberry in hand and then collapse a bit, albeit gracefully - do not under estimate what you have been through in the last few months and the pressures do effect the strongest of relationships.

curly I bet you have used flurescent marker in several different colours on your time table It all helps to add to the sense of purpose. I hope they all go well, will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.x

hoping The recurrent clinic will do everything they can to help you. How long have they given you for the blood tests to come back? It is a horrible succession of waiting for tests, results etc etc. ad yes it is so much harder for those without dc and mmy heart breaks a thousand times over, that sounds so naff but it makes me well up even writing that - think I must have pmt - as dear mollie said we have to cling to the hope that we will get there.
Hormones and the hormone crash after mc is one of the most frightening and lonely places to be. It is going to work out ok

cupcake You will be able to really enjoy your holiday and i am quite sure that they sell really delicious brazil nuts in France.

neeko hi lovely send our love to mls hope she is having a fabby time.

iggy morning you ok? hope the crunching went ok. Ask around for a recommendation for a accupuncturist, there are a l ot around who specialize in hormone imballace, fertility etc.

Curlywurlee · 12/06/2009 10:35

Oh gracie I'm so sorry you are going through this worry. I'm sure there are other possibilities so I'm praying for a good result for you honey. Here's my hand to hold xxx

bluesatinsash · 12/06/2009 10:39

gracie - I'm praying for you and hope, hope hope all is well x

iggypiggy · 12/06/2009 10:39

cupcake nothing really to report today, although randomly tearful just now so poss AF on way. Nearly tested the morning, but couldn't find tests in hurry - last time I tested was Feb Anyway - now I have one all laid out for tomorrow!

mermaid Crunching was fab I know I am odd.. Feel better now tho. Will look for an acupuncturist. Am in SE london if anyone can receommend any? How are you today? x

4ever I get like that esp the road rage bit! Hope you feel better now tho xx

MrsKate · 12/06/2009 10:45

hi girls
im trying to get through to gracie but just woundering if she is is scan

i am so worried about her . i want to be there for her like she was with me . il keep you all posted when i can speak to her xxxx

iggypiggy · 12/06/2009 10:49

Am actually really very tearful - hormones definately... am thinking AF.

kate thanks - let gracie know we all thinking of her xx

cupcakefairy · 12/06/2009 11:15

Oh no iggy I was really really tearful for 2 days before my AF...I didn't know if it was from being pg or AF coming... hope it's pregnancy hormones for you!

Kate, so glad Gracie has you for hand-holding. Give her our biggest love and massivest hugs when you see her xxx
