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

curly you just nearly made me cry, you always say such lovely things and i thank you for that meltdown? i am on the floor in a puddle i think, hope that i morph back into something more suitable for tomorrow! even people at work have noticed i am not myself, despite my very best acting skills.

by the way, you win the prize for the biggest post so far hehe

I just can't seem to write short posts I need to post more often I think!!

Moon your MC is still very recent and it's normal to have awful low times just when things seemed to be getting better. Try and get some sleep and give DH an extra big cuddle tonight. I hope tomorrow the cloud lifts and you start to feel better. I promise things will look brighter soon, and it will get better xxx

Curly you must be the best friend to have in RL! You are so lovely really glad you managed to keep some food down...and I'm intrigued by toxic wee!!

Thanks for the compliments guys, you're so sweet -moon maybe I did go to Uni with you and blue yes people have said that about dh before; he hates it! Haha... I'd rather he looked like Harry

Well I am off on a work thing early tomorrow, and if I don't manage to catch up here in my brief changeover time Thurs evening then I won't be back til Monday...here's hoping af stays away! Thinking of you tomorrow too annie and hope you had a loooovely anniversary 4ever

Ooh and MLS you'll have to give us the thai green curry recipe too...love the stuff!

Fingers tightly crossed for that bfp cupcake text if any news

Night night everyone

Can I sneak in? I'm feeling in need of some quiet yet humorous obsessing - I've had two MCs in eight months and now we're seriously trying again (as opposed to pretending we're not seriously trying again). Af just over but not too depressed as only second proper one since ERPC.

DH is away for a couple of nights (fabulous timing but not his fault) so brain freewheeling into obsessional mode

hello tattifer was just off to bed, but couldnt leave you waiting. sorry that you need to be here in sad circumstances, i've had 2 mcs in 6 months, so i know where you are coming from, as do many other lovely ladies on this thread. this is such a good place to be, everyone is fantastic, so feel free to join us, you are very welcome to sneak in! i think you have to bring ice cream and chocolate though

I've eaten all the green and blacks but there's still a couple of peppermint creams left

morning all just a quick hug for
moon it is so early days, puddle away we are all here. I thought I was the worst person in the world with the things I thought. It is a naturla protection thing and not yourv fault. Thwe sun will come out again I promise.
kate sending you thoughts and strengthxx
and a hello to tattifer
Good luck annie can someone let me know later?
I am crossing the Tamar today got my thermos and everything! Day out with bf does that count as a tiny holiday

4ever hope you had a totally ace anniversary.xx

forgot vjay omg you have a bionic dhxxx
love to allxxxx I'm all excited

ps cupcake you are all uncreased reminds me of hopings upset over not being served alcohol sigh.
curly hope you feel better after your duvet day, jools* hope your hand is better.
neeko go go go.
mls hiope the headaches are a wee bit better, just take it easy girl.x

Welcome Tattifer you are in good hands here. I've had 2 mc in 4 months & will be having an erpc tomorrow.

Good luck Annie for later.

BTW has anybody noticed what has happened to the other Emmys's Angels thread in the mc section? I snuck onto it yesterday as I was going to direct my friend there & it seems to have ground to a halt last month.

Today I have a -massive- slight hangover.

MLS I guess there are no emmsy's left in the world cos they're all on here!

Moon How many times do you have to be told NOT to sneak off to have meltdowns, young lady? Meltdowns are like chocolate: you have to share! Sending you a hug and some blinkers so you can ignore all the pg women at work! it's awful what we think sometimes but we're only human and hormone infused ones at that

Ohsoprettycupcake Love the pic. Have a nice time away with work and please text me -when if you get a BFP as I'll be on holiday!

Lovelycurly So pleased to hear you're feeling a little bit better. I have to agree that your posts are lovely. How's the boobs?

Mermaid have a funfilled day with your thermos! What's for tea tonight? I'm so going to turn up at yours or MLS house one night!

Jools How's the symptom spotting going. I have a feeling that this is your month

Annie Good luck today. Can't believe you're at 20 weeks already? Time flies sometimes in Emmsy's land.

Blue Hope you're feeling nice and rested after your day yesterday. How's the bump coming on? Any chance of a wee pic soon?

Tattifer Welcome to the madhouse. Hope you like rose wine and nin milks

Ok so I finally got my temp rise today Don't know if I'm grinning about that or the fact that we only need to BD tonight if we want to. I was actually thinking about Iggy and her Feb everyday month last night. Hats off to you!

Ok, so moderate drinking is ok in 2ww, right? Don't want to spend my whole holiday without a glass of rose.
I'm not packing any hpts but will pack AF stuff in the hope's that she will become confused and stay away. (crazy.eh?) I plan to test a week on Monday if she stays away.

Have a great day.x

oops what are nin milks? Of course I meant MINI MILKS

Morning all

Such a shame if Emmsys Angels has gone - it certainly saved my sanity and was a good stepping stone to here. My first major MC was a very dark and scary place and I was in shock for a long while (the tears start just thinking about it )

Iggy - you are missed on the GFJ thread - your details are out of date

Sorry about the headaches MLS I echo the comments about drinking lots of water. Strangely, the day before my MC in November, I was ridiculously thirsty and drank litres and litres of water - am quite in awe of my body because I'm sure that this was in preparation for (sorry in advance) the world falling out of my bits the next day. I think I'd have been quite seriously ill if it wasn't for being incredibly well hydrated beforehand ...

Kate - thinking of you x x My DP is prone to depression and men clam up and retreat into their cave, lashing out if you try to talk or help them. It can be very upsetting, so look after yourself.

Fingers crossed Cupcake that you will be the first BFP on this thread Love the youthful pic

Good scan vibes to Annie Neeko - phew - DP can stand down

Curly - my posts are usually short and I always forget someone I am in awe of yours and love reading them Glad you managed to keep some food down.

Welcome Tattifer - I think you have to laugh about these things or you would go into total meltdown, and this thread does make me smile Pull up a glass of rose (you've got to add strawberries and join in

Enjoy your day out Mermaid - hope you don't get rained on

Moon - hope today is a better one. You will slowly have more good days than bad.

Hope you had a lovely anniversary 4Ever

Hello to Hopeful, Vjay, Lion HopefullylurkingBarbie, NosexMollie and anyone I've embarrassingly and inadvertantly left out Gotta go do some work soon, and buy a satnav - any recommendations ?

Symptom spotting - lots of creamy cm last night - different somehow to usual but I can't really describe how without going into way too much detail on texture and colour ! Diarrhea again this morning, which is unusual. Mild nausea. Massive appetite - broke my diet last night and had to have pizza who knows !!! Tis going to be a very long 2WW I think

Morning ladies

Hey Neeko go go go girl! BD+Hol=BFP!Pmsl at your dd potty tales!
Mermaid and Cupcake so so sorry the stinky old bat AF got you - what a bitch. Crossing the Tamar sounds exhilirating Mermaid! The wind in your hair & all that good stuff - enjoy...!
Mrskate so sorry to hear you & DH having a rough time, my mum worked for MIND so know how hard it can all be. We are here to support you supporting him. Your marriage will be stronger for it in the end.. Hugs xx
MLS thinking of you hon, the rollercoaster ride is whats giving them headaches (& maybe the vodka ). Tomorrow is the beginning of the end, a step towards closure. I always find that once the physical is finished you can start getting your head together, slowly.. Hugs to you too xx
Bluemoon big hugs to you sweetie, its a long process, roll with it, dont knock yourself.. xx
Hoping also struggling hon? Im there, last week was absolute isht for me..
Jools cats are super sensory creatures so everything crossed for your 2ww!
Iggy welcome home honey! Hope you brought back a super special souvenir!
Welcome to the madhouse Tattifer!

I'll be back later with some rose, mini milks, comfy beanbags, babydust, hugs and hope.. I think we could all do with some!

Thanks for anniversary wishes ladies, as it chucked it down all day didnt go to to our wedding night hotel in richmond park, in laws popped a card in & ended up wiring up our new telly so never got out of house til gone 3pm! Went church & venue for a romantic wander & sun even came out for 10mins, then to our fave chinese so was lowkey & not as planned but still lovely! DH got me a bike as present! He got a new one the day he broke his hand which he couldnt ride so its his new toy, & he wanted to share with me! Cue long bike rides in parks etc, tho I did say hopefully will stay in shed for next 9m! More succesful BD but OPK medium colour positive on mon, not sure it was dark enough so didnt think it was, but lighter even since so confused? Done every night apart from mon (shattered) so fingers crossed! I guess im on 2ww

Oops confused about cupcake is AF here or still hope?!
Big wave to the lovely Curly too! Your duvet day sounds fab - I need one v much!

hola Emmsy's girls

I has just eated some gooseberries and expereice was combination of and may need mini milks later tho..

moon you should always come here and vent at us if you need/ want to. It takes so much longer than you think to start feeling more normal - I kept feeling ok - and then feeling hugely cross and tearful and angry with everyone again. I particulary focussed my anger on the PG woman in my office who has an EDD two days before mine would have been and she had a scare at an early scan that there was something wrong - I thought horrible things then. But am ok with her now. Sorry for rambling - but please come and talk to us whenever you want to xx

kate your poor thing - have a huge hug - and make sure you look after yourself - we are always here for you. x

Neeko um.. symptoms rubbish - but strange feelings not like af... makes me hopeful... but who knows - is bit early - give me a week and I'll have more for you Am so pleased you got your temp rise! Although concerned you thinking of me in conjunction with sex

mollie glad you got reading for bleeding - but shame about the sex ban - or is it a shame?

cupcake that is a lovely pic of you and your DH I don't mind sharing my pic with you lot - but don't want it on the web - maybe will send around the email addresses? Shall I?

annie good luck for your scan

curly sorry you still sick - but is good thing i guess - and well done for toast eating sucess

tattifer welcome

jools oops - have been so busy have only really had time for this thread.. will go back and post now Your symptoms sound hopeful - hope this is your month!

mermaid enjoy your mini holiday !

ok - have def forgotten some people - but big hellos to blue 4ever vjay hoping sophable and everyone else!

4ever x-posted! Glad you had nice anniversary anyway - bike sounds nice - we used to cycle around Richmond Park - but since we got the dog haven't actually been there for ages.. I hope you right about my holiday Hoepfully you done enough BD for this month and on 2ww now xx

Jools & MrsKate I saw on the news this morning that scientists in the uk have managed to successfully manufacture human sperm.... hows about the three of us find out where the lab is & storm it with turkey basters? I'm sure our dh's would probably thank us for it.

mls am so sorry - I forgot you on my morning message hope the headaches have gone? xx

lol MLS I thought about posting something similar when I saw that today. Scary stuff to think that you would only need a man's skin cell to make him a father. I suppose potentially we could then all make babies with George Clooney et al!

hehe MLS - shall we get the Barbiemobile out and raid the place

A queston on junior aspirin - wanting to be prepared and getting dangerously excited by my early symptoms, I went out and bought some today

If I do decide to take them, when shoud I start - now, when I suspect pregnancy, or at 4 weeks when if I get a BFP ??

I know someone posted on this earlier, but is it just one tablet per day ??

Snap Jools I bought some the other day too. Just because I was in Boots you understand I'm sure it's just one a day and that starting from your bfp will be soon enough but I'm sure the experts will fill you in soon. Have my fingers crossed for you.

Whats the deal with aspirin?

4ever enters room donned in white coat (hmm quite sexy, could use this later )My NHS consultant prescribed aspirin for my 4th PG & took it about wk 5 but asked my private consultant can I take while ttc & he said no harm - why not, so I am, have been for last month now... It is just one a day Jools (75mg). Iggy you missed the discussions while you were on hol, basically aspirin is given as 'cure' to alot of the recurrent mc causes (sticky blood syndrome etc). Even when you dont have any of these causes (all my tests were negative prior to going to Portland) my NHS doc still advised it, as is apparently standard when no oth reason found... Anything that will help eh girls?

OPK -ive again, looks like +ive was on mon, the one day we didnt BD! (..but did sat, sun & tues morn & night) passes white coat over - do you think that will be OK?

hello everyone, Sorry I've not really been round since saturday I've been feeling a bit grumpy. My rash is still as bad and extremely itchy, and I'm 9 and a half weeks which is exactly the time I had my private scan last time and found the baby was dead. I don't want to go for a scan this week as I'm afraid of history repeating itself, in any case DH is away for a week so I couldn't go without him. Two weeks and 2 days till my NHS scan so going to wait till then I think. After giving my DH grief last time for not being around when I had my ERPC I can't really purposely arrange a scan when he's not around.

I had no morning nausea despite being really disorganised getting breakfast this morning which worries me too.

I've done absolutely nothing today of either use or enjoyment, I haven't even got dressed, which really isn't going to make the time go quick till my scan.

In fact some poor bloke who rang my doorbell about an hour ago trying to sell me new windows must wonder what the hell the thing that answered the door and grumped at him was! Wearing odd socks, dressing gown with wrong tie and none matching PJs, with greasy sticking up hair and a scowl!

Right come on Grumpy Gracie pull yourself together and go and catch up with whats been happening on the thread.
