Emmsy's onwards and upwards part five.....white coats and pee sticks at the ready for more BFP's

[VJaybigpants]

Here we go a shiny new thread.....

Barbie If you ovulated 4 days later than a normal person then you pretend your last AF was 4 days later for working out what you would expect on your scan. So Imagine your last AF was 10th May, that would make you exactly 5 weeks on the scan so they definately would see nothing on an abdominal scan. There isn't much to see on my scan to be honest, no visible fetal pole. Just an sac. Do you want me to email the picture to you so you can see how little there is to see at 5 weeks and 2 days?

Maybe you need to pull another sickie tomorrow and try for a transvaginal scan.

Sophable welcome to our crazy thread, you have to be slightly unhinged to be here as you can tell by reading back.

Mermaid Yes just send an email to that email address saying who you want me to pass your number onto. So far I have numbers for Curly, MrsKate, Neeko, MLS, Cupcake and BakingQueen.

Measuring sunflowers sounds like fun! Bless your DS!

Hi everyone

Barbie I think everyone's done pretty well on the white coat front so I'll try not to wade in too much but yes I agree you should try to get a TV scan. Gracie is right that if you ovulate late you should just push forward date of your last AF by that many days
and count from there. (Cos their way of dating assumes everyone ovulates on day 14, which we all know is absolutely not true, right Neeko?)

Hi Sophable Were you one of the November ladies too? There are a couple of us in here glad you could join us Seems like you'll fit right in with all the counting of days good luck with testing next week! You can join Neeko

Hi Mermaid, Curly, 4ever and Mollie, hope you've all been enjoying the sunshine. I've been out shopping for last few holiday things, yay!

cupcake yes. i was on november thread. which is now hidden

Evening ladies, welcome sophable sorry to hear about your mc, but glad you are ready to move on here with us, and good luck with the testing
barbie the ladies have answered all your questions, but it is such an emotional time these first few weeks, I hated them, but hang in there. You too gracie

Hope you all had lovely weekends, I'm back to work tomorrow after having 2 weeks holiday, but then I've only got 2 weeks left to work before more holiday then maternity leave, so can't complain really

Hi everyone.
Barbie I second what everyone said about the scan. Pull a sickie tomorrow and insist on an internal one. You're clearly paying enough for the health care over there. All fingers and toes crossed for you, but it still sounds very positive to me. Maybe bean just wants to be an only child and is trying to put you off doing this again?

gracie Hope things are easing up for you otherwise you could be off your work til FEb and we'll never get that scan machine smuggled!

Kate How's the mission going?

Curly Stop lurking and study!

Cupcake Can you imagine what the MW faces will be like trying to date me if I do get a BFP this month?

Bakingqueen When's your internet going to be fixed.

mermaid It aint over yet! Want to start a new party on Wednesday?

Mollie any ideas to shut up the htps?

Iggy Hope you had a good weekend wawy.

Sabs are you back yet? How was Rome?

4ever Hurrah - you've finally ovulated. Sounds like a successful mission to me.

Sophable Welcome. Did we talk on the MC thread?

Hi to the rest of my fellow scan-stealing-conspirators. Do they do tummy and internal scans as standard?!

Exhausting day for me today of entertaining DD while DH decorates. Ended up at my mum's looking for sneaky photos for her 60th birthday party next month. I have learned by looking at them that I have had no sense of style - ever! Both hair and clothes are horrendous. DD will have such a laugh when older.

Oops Vjay Forgot about you. You'll soon be of as much as us teachers!

evening everyone! Very quick post - trying to catch up!

Still no AF for me but guess will come soon...

Love the email address/ number idea will email it now!

barbie sorry you having such a rubbish time. Hope you ok?

gracie hope pains not too bad?

moon I remember the days a few days after the MC were some of my most tearful - hope you looking after yourself. x

sophable glad you joining us

Neeko we did.

thank you all so much for welcoming me!

i am very weird and obsessed so will fit right in!!!

Sophable Sounds like it. Grab a chair and get comfy. Do you have a battleplan in mind? Sorry, just looked again and realised you've already fought your battle this month and are in limbo land like me. I'm thinking of taking up knitting to pass the time!

oddsbodkins am I really day26? where is it then?
you see this is where things really start messing with your head, you get over a bfn and then a little fragment of doubt/hope/madness creeps in there.

jools I was cleaning the bathroom and thought of you and realised you were quiet off doing normal rl things so am saying a big heelllooo to you.xx

welcome sophable speak for yourself young lady I am clearly not mad, weird or obsessed

iggy what are we going to do now?

neeko hi sunny lady, glad you have had a good weekend, we had a photo put on a walloping huge cake for my mums 60th. It went down well in all senses of the word.

Off to the greenhouse

Hello ladies
yet again, another really quick post -the ironing is calling ( I have so much fun in RL but the sun has finally got to surrey and I need some summer clothes.Especially as I am in the final throes of negotiating this job ( yes, it's still ongoing and still going wrong!) and want to look good!)

I think it was Curly who was asking when I was going to test - sometime probably never. Don't feel remotely pregnant and think I missec the window. Also don't have tests in the house and will not be buying them ( yes my head is firmly in the sand)

Hi Sophable - I remember you, good to see you again

Barbie - I'm sure everything is OK, your tests sound near enough to be fine.

Gracie you are back on form - email numbers top plan!

Hi to everyone else, especially the lovely Neeko with the mising AF!

I won't be on for a while and I think we may be about to stop ttc - we are really lucky having two dc's already, our lost angel was unplanned but a lovely surprise and I'm coming around to the idea of letting life do what it wants and it may be that we were only meant to have two dc's which will be fine. Thanks everyone for your support - without it, I would not be in the calm place I am now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

littlebellsmum your post has so much grace and so do you. and you know if you change your mind there will always be support but in the meantime have a lovely calm peaceful time IRL....thank you so much for the support you gave me it really really helped.

Just a quick post whilst pacing around my house - yes that abdominal pain is at it again!

Vjay at only having 2 weeks at work left!

LBM you look after yourself, you know where we are if you need us. I'm glad you are feeling calm about life.

Waves to neeko, Cupcake, sophable, Mermaid, Moon, iggy, jools, Curly. Barbie how are you feeling my lovely?

hi girls ive missed the boat for this month i think ive only bd on day 16 and thats it dh is so stressed about work hes not in the mood as he puts it ahhhhhggghhh i give up . its silly beacause hes said that having a baby is the best thing in the world but hes not willing to try to concieve one xxxx

MrsKate chill you've not missed the boat yet! You're positive OPK was only yesterday wasn't it? that mean ovulation in next 24-48 hours, which means you're probably ok tomorrow too if there's any time DH isn't at work before you go to your night shift.

Any chance of changing his mind tonight?

wow i go away for a weekend and miss all this!

gracie so relieved for you that it wasn't ectopic, really wish it would stop hurting!

moon keep hanging in there, we are all thinking of you. my dh said exactly the same after our 2nd MC, he felt he was putting me through torment and was trying to spare me the pain. after 3 months he understood more that it wasn't just the babies we lost, it was hte prospect of no babies that made the world so bleak. as soon as we started trying again that's when the healing started. just keep being open with him about what's going on.

barbie i will look out for a white coat for you. personally i don't have one, after my little sister decided emergency nursing was more fun than baby nursing!
hang in there.

mermaid sorry to hear about AF

sophable welcome! pull up a chair and have a good worry along with us

hello all you other ladies, wish i had more time to talk to you all right now!

well did a opk at half 7this eve and neg as was a work today so i dont know what my body is doing

MrsKate I really hope DH's mood settled and you managed to BD. I'm sure today would be ok too and maybe even tomorrow if you get chance.

Hello Hoping I hope you had a good weekend.

Barbie how's you this morning. Hopefully pulling another sickie.

Went to bed at 11pm last night, the pain woke me at midnight, 2am and 5:20am.

good morning gg im on fb if you wanna chat?

kate honey there is only one thing for it I am afraid - truss yourself up in the finest your underwear drawer has to offer
opps gotta go, mornin all, hi 4everxx

Morning Mermaid!! No Af still? Hmm im still hopeful as you did test early, are you retesting? Sorry to feed fresh glimmers if you are armed with your 'positives' list! A wise Emmsy whos name I cant now remember, once said to me 'look at AF as 1st day of your pregnancy' which I think is a fab way to look at things! BTW you conjured up a very warm sweet image of your DS measuring sunflowers! Awwww bless him, that along with helping at the church fete sounded like you had a lovely chilled w-end, im glad! (polish that halo hon!) xx

Morning Barbie if you are lurking? Please dont leave us for FB You need a bit of madness as distraction right now! Missed your post about docs on sun, sorry youve had (hopefully unneccesary) worry on your shoulders (should that be back?!) I do think your backache could just be stress & overwork, my recurrent back problem plays up for that reason. Everyones pretty much answered but heres my 2 penneth worth - Id make you 6wks on weds, as queen of the early scan, there is NO way you see anything on a tummy one til about wk8, internal picks up image of sac & pole by about 5wk & heartbeat by 6wk. Hope you get one ASAP to put your lovely mind to rest - sticky thoughts & love to you xxxx

Also sorry Iggy! Whilst quickly scanning on sun I also missed AF got you too, grrrr! Oh well, big wine & blue cheese & pate it is then! Throwing a ton of babydust at you for next month! Hope she isnt being to horrid to you! x

Hugs to Moon sorry the hormone crash is hitting you sweetie, waiting a while seems unbearable, but will soon pass, same as mollie we had a break after no 3 while waiting on rcmc tests/results, was good to get body back & flung ourselves into decorating & things to pass time, a short hol perhaps? Wise words from our new recruit Hoping - keep honest with your DH & get an AF out the way & see how you feel.. xx

Hoping You are sounding very positive and true to your name! Good to see!

Mollie - what came of your tests/results hon? Did I miss that? I didnt realise you had 3mc before this sticky PG, have you had some treatment?

Nice to see Bakingqueen OV, BD'd and on 2ww with me! Cupoftea where are you? Are you on 2ww too? Babydust babydust!!!

Sorry if you missed BD action Mrskate, hopefully you caught DH & now had a chance & we can be on 2ww together? Really glad you been there for Gracie BTW!

Gracie hope your pain starts subsiding hon? Also as queen of early PG issues I was thinking, each pg I have bloated up & had awful bowels , normally at around wk5-7 & very painful.. Googled it & quite a common symptom apparently.. are you having any more tests? Whens the next scan? Glad DH is back today, you enjoy your time at home and take it very easy, actually I found my bloating, uncomfortableness really eased when I did NOTHING! Its true! x BTW will mail my number later! Great plan! x

Good luck to Curly for last of your exams! Sending sticky thoughts for your precious cargo! Still loving your twins analagy! xx

Welcome to Sophable good luck testing, I believe theres a testing party happening on weds! I see the list has been updated!

Jools how you doing hon? Been a bit quiet lately? xx

Neeko - weds test party, I want guest list please, so I can observe from the VIP room! Im so intrigued by your crazy cycle! xx

Vjay ooh at your upcoming hol followed closely by your maternity leave! You must be marking off the calender! How exciting!! x

Sabs must be back from Rome now? Hope it was bellisimo?! x

Lbm wow you sound very focused & calm, & if you are happy & at peace then we are happy with you, if you go you will be missed, but totally understand if you're moving on with your life.. Its been an absolute pleasure to help, and best of luck to you & your family in all you do xxxxxxxx

WOW MEGAPOST! Its always like that after the w-end!!! My news is short, chilled & lazed around in the garden most of the w-end which was fabulous! Total recharge.. OPK had faint line on sat & sun finally! Still confused by the strong dark line on tues-fri though?!? BD every night but thurs & sun so hope & pray that done the deed! Got 1 OPK left for today, but guess Im officially now on the 2ww!

Will be back to lurk later - drafted this in e-mail & about to cut & paste to save net time! Surely cant of missed anyone but no doubt I have, so apologies and love to you xxxxx

4ever you are queen of posts too think I may just plagarise(sp)
the 2ww... this is going to drag, I have butterflies already.x

af arrived this morning so no more getting my flippers in a spin. So on the positive side of thngs I made it to day 27 which is loooooong for me.

lbm good luck with the job and I hope you can soon strut your stuff with a shiny new briefcase/It bag/blackberry.
Sometimes it just takes some time to sort out emotions and family and to get back to where you know you feel happiest. Lots of love to you and your family.xxx

moon Your poor body has been through a lot, let it rest and heal for a bit. Your dh is doig the natural thing which is trying to protect you. I know there is a huge emptiness there but concentrating on getting well and fit and seeing the sun peep out of the clouds again will help.

barbie and gracie I hope you have managed to reasure each other this morning that you are ok, mad with worry but ok. Please make sure you both rest.xx

blue hope you enjoyed your weekend away

vjay roll on holiday time and looking at lots of baby stuff on your washing line, you must be getting near nesting madness

jools I just know as soon as I go out you are going to pop in and I will have missed you

Lovin the thought of a halo thanks 4ever but I only go cos I get first pickings of the lovely jam, cakes and plants

right to the gym always yuk on a monday especially after all the cake.
