Emmsy's onwards and upwards part six - sticky icky babydust BFP central!!!

[Curlywurlee]

Here's a shiny new thread named especially for 4ever, let this be the one where we get lots and lots of new BFPs and everyone's pants get bigger

Ever onwards and upwards for all of you lovely ladies

The answer is never. If your body is able to fall pregnant & carry a baby then you can't be too old. My ex boss's wife had her first at 40 & second at 43.

I have added you on FB.

P.S. Can't you leave the new office & accidentally end up at home???

Welcome back Barbie

yes, we most definitely missed you. Hope you had a FAB time and are all relaxed now

We've all moved into Mermaids greenhouse and are drinking rose out of watering cans !!

I think there is an updated list on this page somewhere so you can all see where we are at Neeko is on hols with promising symptoms. I'm at work with promising symptoms but an early BFN, but I can't remember what else happened when, so will let someone else fill you in !!

oh i like the sound of promising symptoms!

Im drained, it was hard work trying to visit everyone and then mid way go away to ireland for the festival for 5 days...and to top it off the ac is broken and its 35 degrees in the house the earliest we can get it fixed is tomorrow, thankfully the upstairs is working so i have spend all day in and out of bed sadly the wireless dont work up there or else i could of taken the mac up with me!

waves back to mls

sabs also sneakily waves to barbie mls and jools whilst "working" from home

Well Neeko says she has big boobs but lets not put her under any pressure or I'll be in trouble if she comes back from holiday & thinks I've been telling everyone she might be pregnant. So lets just say that Neeko has big boobs which may be attributed to all the lovely food she's been eating on holiday..... or it might be something else more exciting!

Hello lovely ladies. Welcome back barbie

Well no news I'm afraid. After the recurrent miscarriage consultant cancelled my scan yesterday, I decided I had tormented myself enough so booked a private scan in the same hospital. They just rang me an hour ago on the way to the scan and cancelled... GRRRRR I really wouldn't mind if I hadn't been counting down the days till the scan. Barely slept last night and now I have to wait longer On top of that I have been puking less this week so I'm getting worried.

Sorry for the me me me rant. I am just so upset and stressed now. It would have been much better not to have an early scan at all. We're going to head out to lunch to take our mind off things and then it's head back in the sand for me till next week when I'll really have to face my demons as 11 weeks was when I found out last time. I'll be back later to catch up though and I promise I'll be back to normal. Thanks so much for all the support girls, you really are the best

sorry to hear that curly. Here's my hand to hold if you wish...

And you can "rant" as much as you like. We're here to listen. Hope your lunch takes your mind off things...

Oh Curly so sorry all the sleepless nights and everything then to be disappointed. Hope you have a lovely lunch out with dh and can find lots to take your mind off it during the next week. Don't be sorry at all! And don't go making rash promises to be normal...that's not how we work around here
Massive hug for you and we will totally understand if you want to stay stuck in that sand a little longer.

MLS hope the antibiotics will have the desired effect; you don't need that stress on top of everything

Hi Barbie! Glad you're back. One BFP while you were gone from Becks but she hasn't been back since! Good luck with all the catching up!!

barbies in da house! hi lovely knackered lady. Glad you had a good time seeing all your friends and family and well done for managing to cope with camping. Did you need the nail file though?

curly oh for goodness sake why do they complicate a scan? its not hard a bit of swoshing around and bobs your uncle. Reckon we should start our own scan shop up.
Don't worry though pleaseeeese cos I expect your hormones are just adjusting. Hope you enjoyeed your lunch.x

jools you are not too old. The only reason I am staying on here is to make you feel like a spring chicken

mls I completly forgot you were going to the drs, its good they have been so thorough though - please just have a nice relaxed weekend and chillx.

Have to go, its my dhs birthday so I have been off doing a bit of pampering etc. He is totally crap at taking days off though and has 'nipped back to check everything is ok'

love to allxx

Happy birthday mrmermaid - bet you're cooking him up a treat .

Welcome back barbie - was pleased you didn't sneak on here as it shows you were busy having fun!!!

curly - so on your behalf, do they not know how terrified we are pre-scan and counting down sleeps, preparing for bad news etc... You will be fine, you have a very sticky bean who has made you throw up big time...

I know what you mean about previous situations mirroring. My 20-week scan is on 4th August (for the whiteboard mermaid ) when DH and I were due to start our two weeks annual leave. First things I did was change annual leave back a week as both mc happened at the start of my hols last summer/xmas and there was no way I was tempting fate having bad news again at the start of a holiday . It sends you to the brink of madness sometimes.....

MLS - glad your tummy's better and hope your antibiotics shift what's causing your shadow. How did your lunch go with your ttc friends yesterday?

Jools - please don't think your too old. My experience of Toddler groups with DS was that most Mum's were late 30's early 40's to the point it was unusual to see a 'young' Mum in her 20's! They stood out due to springy skin and skinny jeans .

sabs - hi there - been buying anymore baby clobber of the tinternet?

Working v. hard today, this is my lunch break - at 3.10pm! Have been eating steadily though, my keyboard is covered in crumbs .

hiya barbie welcome back, glad you had a fab hol.

blue I do hope you are getting your proper breaks, you make sure you look after yourself, at least it's Saturday tomorrow and you can hopefully get a long lie.

curly I'm so cross for you, these people have no idea do they!

mls I do hope the antbiotics clear up everything for you, you go and sit in the massage chair in the greenhouse for a while and relax

jools it's never too late, I too had a boss who put her career first, then started her family in her early forties, it's each to there own, don't give stuff what others think, you just do right by you

Hi sabs I've still not packed my hospital bag yet, so nothing to report there.

Having a nice relaxingish day today

Ladies, I have had to namechange (to protect the innocent) I was Mollie but due to personal circumstances I've had to change.
I have no chance of posting to every individual it's taken me hours to read everything! But I think a huge group hug is in need, lots of chocolate and of course rose in the greenhouse a la mermaid 4ever Special hug for you so sorry about the BFN, it must be so much more frustrating as you're on a time limit which just adds extra pressure
Barbie Welcome back from hols, I'm so pleased you had a good time, 9 wks wow!

I've had a few problems at work this week, we've had people in with swine flu, because we work in a Jobcentre they feel they have to come in or they won't get their money, so they are dragging themselves in and infecting everyone! We've had 2 members of staff go down with it yesterday, so contacted GP and she's written a note to say I must avoid public contact for a bit as management were expecting me to see the infected!! So they've moved me to a screened room (bit like a prison) very lonely but at least they won't know I'm on MN! So hopefully will be able to keep up more
Have a lovely weekend everyone, I'm hoping Jools has just tested too early and will start the BFP run for this month

curly its lovely to see you back, but im so sorry to hear you've been messed about, you must be all over the place maybe its just your beans way of saying he/she doesn't need a scan as they are perfectly fine thank you very much please try to stay positive, we will help all we can.

buddha loving the name

mermaid enjoy dh's birthday

i'm still feeling a crap, just generally low and with everyone and everything. but on the positive side my af is nearly over, only cd4 though, unusual for me to be so light, but im grateful, as my 1st af after last mc was horribly heavy so i was expecting the same this time. my mum is coming over tomorrow, i havent seen her since mc so that will cheer me up

oh and barbie welcome back

hi all

doing much better dh much better all is ok for now .

still no ov so i dont no .

i just wanted to thank you all for being there for me xxxxx

yeah barbies back

Ok normal service has resumed for curly so sorry about the mammoth post that's ahead I'm feeling much better now especially as today I've been sick as a dog... happy days i think I need help!!!

Moon thank you so much, I love the idea that bean didn't need the scan today you always say the right thing. sorry things are still so tough but hopefully your mum will cheer you up xxx

cupcake you always make me smile too. Thanks for being around today. I can't wait till you get good news (soon soon soon!!!) and I can pay you back with handholding when needed

Jools any sign of that spotting tonight? I can't help getting hopeful for you

great news about the clomid baking

Neeko welcome back for Sunday. Hope stupid AF stays away. She's not welcome round here!!!

iggy I woke up at 5am and thought, oh no I forgot to say hello to Iggy yesterday. I think I'm on MN too much How are you honey?

Where is 4ever today. Hope everything is okay honey?

sabs thanks for the hand to hold today. How are things with you?

kate I'm glad things are okay with DH. I didn't get a strong line with the opks. I guessed that the day it was darkest was the one to go by and didn't actually get to bd after that day as dh was away but it seemed to work anyway so hopefully timing will be right for you too

MLS I'm glad that you got some answers from the doctors. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon and sort it out. It's really worth taking acidophulus or something like actimel with antibiotics to stop any side effects like thrush. Hope your tum is better soon too xxx

Barbie it's so nice to have you back, it looks like you, me and gracie will all have scans next week

mermaid happy birthday to your DH. It's funny to hear that he can't relax totally being away from work. I imagine you as such a chilled out person so I guess you balance each other perfectly. Hope you have a lovely evening

Blue I'm so glad it's not just me on the brink of madness. Part of me was really glad today that the private scan didn't happen because it meant I didn't have to go back to the place where my whole world fell apart last year Hope that time flies until your scan and that after that you get to relax and breathe a little easier I can't believe how preggers you are though, it really makes me smile

VJ how are you finding the tiredness these days? Go pack that bag lady. We're expecting our first emmsys baby soon

buddhabelly great name, I just need to keep in my mind who you really are... (shhh). Swine flu is so worrying isn't it. From what I've read the best thing if you get any symptoms is to get the drugs as the risks are less than from the swine flu itself

Big waves to sophable becks hoping Lionstar Annie Scorpio and MM

kate glad things are looking up for you and dh. remember we are always here for you

x post curly glad your spirits have lifted a little, well done on the mammoth post (again ). i still have everything crossed for you and your bean, although by the sounds of it normal service has resumed! maybe you were so worried about the scan that the sickness took a back seat and your nerves took over? you will be fine you see

Thanks honey. How are you tonight?

i am ok curly thank you, just can't seem to get over the sadness this time, which is coming out as anger and frustration on everyone else. and those 3 pg ladies at work, i'm not ever gonna deal with that, especially the one with my edd. i look like some freak watching them intently as they walk past me.

but i am excited now my mum is coming tomorrow, i havent seen her since April so i cant wait

Moon I had so many meltdowns, I really didn't know how to cope, and that was without having pregnant women in my office... that must be so much harder Don't be so hard on yourself, just believe it will get better xxxx

Have a lovely time with your Mum tomorrow. Make sure you spoil yourselves

thanks curly there definitely should be a hug emoticon on here, i'm sending a hug your way! if anyone else is around feel free to join in for a group hug. night everyone, hope you all have a lovely weekend
