Oh god Barbie this is so very unfair, I was thinking about you this morning as well.. You sound very grounded, I will still pray that things work out tho, but as you said we generally know our own bodies.. A TV scan would answer things straight for you tho rather than being in limbo & honestly they dont make it worse, iv had untold of them now... Im so sorry if this is happening again honey - heres a big hug for you & DH.. We're here when you need us xxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 16/06/2009 10:11

Through thick and thin, through joyous and bitter, through waiting and hoping and thats all there is to say. xx

Curlywurlee · 16/06/2009 11:39

Oh barbie I am so so sorry This is so crap I know how frantically worried you have been but we were all hoping for the best for you and your lo. I'm so glad you will be back in the UK soon and your lovely DH is looking after you in the meantime. I won't try and give you false hope because you know your body better than anyone and you have been through this before but I am still praying for a miracle for you.

Stay away as long as you need to but don't forget you are a massive part of the Emmsy's thread and we want you back here with us as soon as you're ready honey xxxx

Joolsiam · 16/06/2009 11:42

Well said Mermaid

Molliemooma · 16/06/2009 11:54

Barbie I can't add anything to what the others have said Mermaid that was beautiful. Take care of yourself, you know where we are however you are feeling. Enjoy your time back home in hopefully sunny England, will look forward to your return

Molliemooma · 16/06/2009 11:54

Also 4ever your post made me cry at my desk

Joolsiam · 16/06/2009 12:12

Just booked in with the miscarriage clinic for the genetics tests tomorrow morning - think it is just a blood test ?

DP actually reminded me ! I have to book it in because they book a taxi to take the sample to some specialist unit.

mermaidspurse · 16/06/2009 12:37

oh jools I'm a blank on that- mine were all blood tests though 4ever sadly is usually better informed and remembers more than I do.

mollie hope you are being good and resting, napping lots trying to look serene.

4ever yeah stop making us all cry.x

Curlywurlee · 16/06/2009 12:43

Jools it is just a blood test. I think they only analyse in certain hospitals like St Thomas's and have a timelimit to get the blood to the lab so hence the taxi!!

We had to wait about 8 weeks for the results though it does vary. Even though there's only a tiny chance that they'll find a problem, it is a massive relief to get the results back. I felt it was the kickstart that we needed to properly TTC because before then it was always in the back of my mind that there might be a chromosomal problem, if that makes sense

Curlywurlee · 16/06/2009 12:46

I can't help lurking and worrying about Barbie I just wish we could do something

barbie1 · 16/06/2009 13:02

curly knowing you are all thinking about me is enough, stop worrying, look after you and your bean. Im lurking and will never leave you all fully. I promise to be back, just need to repair the damage i have done in the last week with all the worry, i have to apoligise to dh for giving him a hard time and to make up to my parents for always being short when they call me, although im not going to tell them as they are off on holidays for two weeks and i dont want to worry them xxx

Curlywurlee · 16/06/2009 13:07

Oh barbie I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face at how brave you are I wish I could give you the most massive hug right now. Don't ever worry about bringing the thread, or people in RL down. That's what we are here for honey. We will all get through this together and I know that if it doesn't work out for me this time that I will need your hand to hold so here is my hand for you xxxx

barbie1 · 16/06/2009 13:13

anyone can always email me at [email protected].

Although if there is any news ill be here to read it, you see i just cant stay away

Tears a running here too, its so hard to leave but its something that i have to do if only for my sanity over the next few weeks and to spend time with dh and the family at home. You see i get panicky if i cant get to post and then feel guilty for not replying. So im going to remove some of that guilt and this time seems as good as any.

Nothing will go wrong for you, i said to gg i have taken the 1 in 3 chance of mc away from the two of you so now you can go on and enjoy your pregnancy.

Cheer up, love you lots xxx

Curlywurlee · 16/06/2009 13:24

Now you've set me off crying again Barbie, you're worse than 4ever I was so hoping the three of us would beat the odds this time

Love you lots too honey. Take care and don't expect us to forget you. We'll just have to let you go for a wee while so that you can get the old Barbie back but we'll be thinking about you all the while xxx

Neeko · 16/06/2009 13:34

Barbie You are being really brave and FWIW I think it's the right thing to give yourself s little breathing space. This whole thing is all consuming and while it's great to have the support on here (and I really mean that)it can also help us to feed our obsession.
I too am going to step away from the thread a little. I'm in no way comparing my life and situation to yours. However, I stop in ten days for the summer and I'm worried that I'm going to miss precious times with my DD because all I can think about is having another lo and without noticing it happening I have become more and more addicted to talking to all you lovely lot.I was devastated when my temp dropped this morning and being this obsessed doesn't make me a good mum or wife. I don't want my DD to grow up thinking that mummy needs to check the computer before she takes me.... I will lurk too, but for now I'm going to be grateful for what I have and maybe TTC again in a few months when everything is less raw. Good luck to all of you. Take care and where possible count your blessings. I'm sure we all have many, but they are often behing the TTC cloud.

GracieGirl · 16/06/2009 13:43

I'm sat here crying, I don't think I have much more to add, than Curly, Mermaid and 4ever have said before me. Like Curly says I too was all out for all three of us to beat the odds this time. Barbie you are very brave to not tell your parents and let them enjoy their holiday, I don't think I could be that strong. Barbie you are in our thoughts and will stay there. x x x

Heathcliffscathy · 16/06/2009 13:45

barbie i'm so sorry.

just want to reiterate that this thread is for support...you're allowed to post on here and be sad.

GracieGirl · 16/06/2009 13:45

Neeko I understand your need for breathing space. I'll miss you! xx

Heathcliffscathy · 16/06/2009 13:46

sorry to be a total thickie but what does it mean when your temp drops?

GracieGirl · 16/06/2009 13:53

Sophable I've never done temping before but I've picked up bits from this thread. I think from ovulation your temp stays high until sometime just before AF when it drops. I think its an early warning sign that your AF is about to start and you aren't pregnant. I'm sure one of the experts will be along to tell you properly at some point.
