Also offering a hand to Iggy.... Im still so many of you girlys are having a hard time at the mo...

mermaidspurse · 15/09/2009 13:12

uggh and too must be something in the air. Spent all morning in tears for the first time in ages and really utterly fed up with close family sweeping stuff under the carpet.
I know life goes on (thank god) but just once in a while a quick squeeze a quick are you ok. Scared if anyone asks I will just never stop crying. my cousin gave birth more or less on my edd the other week I did so bloody well and not even my mum/sister said a word. Yeah I know life moves on...
I just feel grey - do you know what I mean? Like my old self aint ever coming back.
It surprised me, no maybe reasured me that vjay said that she still felt so distant and different after her mcs even with her beautiful bump.

Yesterday on the radio was a lovely bit on Bournemouth hospital having a butterfly garden and special butterfly services for families and their los.
I think thats what has bought everything to the surface. The Vicar was so lovely in the way she spoke about mc. It was very moving.

mls so many thoughts and special sparkly hopes to hold onto being sent your way.x

hoping yep its deeply shit. I know I'm pantless but I tried for nearly 8 months with no sucess and it has driven me mad, work has suffered really badly and I am trying to pick up the pieces so I know where you are. Its a very healthy route to take.xx

iggy yep its pants and I am sending you a hug and a sparkly star just because.xx

4ever think we had all better have a group 'pedicure' I don't like being a weeble it makes me feel giddy.

barbie dear of you you ave had such a long and painful up/down year i felt tired just reading your condensed version. Glad you sis is happy now I had forgotten that.
fab on feeling your lo. and just step away from irons, other peoples cars, um, and most other things

mm so pleased that all is well. Enjoy your anniversary bbq.x

mermaidspurse · 15/09/2009 13:16

sorry I very self absorbidly is that a word x posted - 4ever are you leaving in 2 weeks????? did I miss that bit? god sorry going back to check.

jools ohh honey, please please please get a bfp.xxxx

MummyLovesSadie · 15/09/2009 13:19

4ever I'm in the same place as you. It feels like every time I get up I get knocked back down again. Every time I have a tiny flame of hope, it gets extinguished. All around me are pregnant people moaning about how much they are sick of pregnancy & want the baby out, or on fb moaning about morning sickness or on my antenatal thread moaning about weight gain. I wish it was me, I'd love to have a opportunity to moan about all things pregnancy related & believe me if I ever get to that stage I will not utter a single complaint. At the moment I just can't see a happy ending in sight.

bakingqueen · 15/09/2009 13:20

Hello all

4ever sorry to hear you are in a sad place at the minute. I know nothing I can say will help but just want to let you know I am here if you ever want to talk. Hope you find your way out of this sadness soon. Your time will come I truely believe that and never feel sorry for posting how you feel we all do it here because here is a safe place where we have all been through the pain of mc and when the rest of the world thinks we are coping here is where we can breakdown amongst people who understand and care so that in rl we are more able to cope. Will be thinking of you x

Jools - its not over till af appears hope you get a bfp you so deserve it

Fifi- don't worry about how long it takes to get back to work make sure you are mentally and physically reday before you go back look after you before thinking of work you will get through this I promise x

Hoping- can fully understand why you have decided to take 6 months off hope your ttc holiday brings you the bfp you deserve at the end of it

Vjay- hope your all well seeing pictures of Alex remainds me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for all of us

Barbie - your story gives me inspiration too what a difference a year has made for you. So excited you felt your lo move

Iggy - sorry to hear your feeling blue as well hope a hug will cheer you up.

mls - thinking of you too hope the days goes quickly for you andthe scan brings you the good news we are all hoping for.

Nothing much to report here started on the clomid again going back on 22nd for a scan to see how many follicles there hoping maintaining a zen like calm will work for me this month. When I mc'd I hoped when my edd came around that I would be pregnant again to take away the pain of the memory so this month is my last chance as edd 20th October so trying to not let that stress me out I feel lots of deep breathing will be in order this month.

Love to anyone I have not mentioned xxxx

mm1509 · 15/09/2009 13:21

4ever ramble away that's why we are here. The side of mc that no-one expects or talks about is the toll it takes on relationships with others. I can totally relate to what you are saying about your bf, I had a close friend of many years who like yours was pretty self obsessed and although I had been there for her many times but when the time came for me to look for support she wasn't there. She always had some excuse, our friendship has since dwindled out. On the up side of that I have another friend who has been there 100% even though there have been many times when she says she feels she has no words that she feels are right to say I know she is there whenever, whatever. It does hurt when we are let down by people, I guess we find out who is really a true friend.

Your journey has been long and so very hard for you and DH but you know what is causing the mc now so keep thinking you will fall preg again and you will have the treatment that will let your lo make it so just get through today anyway you know how and keep looking to the future. I've said to barbie before that you are stronger than you know, just a wobble but you can't fall down.

jools hope you enjoy your holiday, interesting about your symptoms, keep us posted.

MummyLovesSadie · 15/09/2009 13:22

Yes sorry I forgot to add Jools what is going on? Can't you just buy a cheapo test & try that?

mermaidspurse · 15/09/2009 13:22

mls I am trying to imagine a small bright spark of happy endings alive for you. It is so very brutally scary the place where you are. Hold on.xx

MummyLovesSadie · 15/09/2009 13:26

Thanks Mermaid. I also forgot to add that my 1st edd is this Friday, the day after my scan. What a fucking week.

mermaidspurse · 15/09/2009 13:36

come and slump in the greenhouse and munch on 'another bloody tomato' or try one of my jalapeno pepper which are not hot in the slightest
yep its another week of fabulous news and shit times all rolled into one. You poor thing

iggypiggy · 15/09/2009 13:42

mls am thinking of you at the mo. I still have everything crossed for a happy ending.

mermaid that is exactly how I feel - like I can't get myself back... sparkly star for you too xxx

4ever thanks for hand - am grabbing yours too. xx

hoping is nice you having a break xx

iggypiggy · 15/09/2009 13:45

bakingqueen good luck for this month - am sure it will be your time.

meant to add hoping that am considering taking a break if I get offered this other job. Would be wrong to carry on ttc if got to start new job... but that would also be 6 months off. Anyway - only got first round of interviews - so que sera sera...

mm hello to you - am all over the place today and not saying hi to people!

jools

Right - am off into hiding.

xx

Neeko · 15/09/2009 13:49

Hi Girls. Sorry i don't have time to post individually and so to hear so many of you struggling today. You are all (as always) in my thoughts and prayers.

Can I start a group hug??!!
(((((((((((((H U G)))))))))))

4everhopeful · 15/09/2009 14:10

Oh shit desperately fighting tears reading all your posts.. Where to start? MLS indeed what a fucking week for you with edd as well.. With you on ungrateful preg people, makes my blood boil, also gushing new mums (a'la bf) who seem to totally forget our mc & how hard it is.. Im really praying hard that all will be well for you in the end, but the emotional headfuck this has caused you is appalling & all we can do is hug you & sadly empathise..

Lovelylovelysuperwomanmermaid you quietly let your edd pass by without telling, wish id known to hold your hand, that means we were due at same time? So I bleated on about my edd & it was yours too? No wonder you're p'd off at family cos sounds like you tried to deal with it all on your own, none of my family or friends remember either, not even a tx, thats why I feel all bitter & angry today cos you girls iv not even met have supported more than them & it hurts doesnt it? Sorry you feel so shitty today but voice of experience is that we bottle things up but eventually the lids need to come off.. No need to be so brave, this is what our site is for... Totally know scared to cry cos may not stop, & scared of never finding me again too. On dads birthday it was like his sprit was in me reminding me of who I was - v much like him, full of positive energy, a giver & a do'er, always smiling, as I drove to work this morning I felt so sad that reminder only lasted the one day & here I am back to grey again... Oh, & not leaving work, just my beloved dept

MM you & Mermaid have both made me feel so much less embarassed at my feelings towards friends, they dont tell you about the effect on your relationships do they? I resent that ive supported my oldest bf thru all her neurosis & anger & self inflicted crap, yet nothing back now I need it. Some friendships are 1 way streets I guess. The bf with new dd was the one that suprised me with support & right words thru first 3mc, but we both fell preg in jan, I lost mine & the uncomfortableness started on both sides. Now as mermaids mentioned before after call yest, its like she doesnt want to hear it in case she catches it, tinged with smugness and pity at her childless friend.

Bakingq as much as you all wouldnt know it I absolutely hate self pity, but theres a difference between that & having people acknowledge what we've been through & the feelings we have... thank you for understanding & giving the licence to vent, I feel embarassed cos Im not after sympathy, I just need to get it out & you understand that so thank you... xxx

Well, I dont know whether to say Im glad we are not alone in our greyness today, obviously Id prefer if we were all happy chatty emmsys but this is our reality & im so pleased we can share it with each other - I love you all to the core, you mean the world to me xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 15/09/2009 14:18

Neeko Im stepping in for that (((((((HUG)))))) you beautiful soul...

Im trying to remember to stop & smell the roses (hope you like them..)

Joolsiam · 15/09/2009 14:45

Meant to say - did a Boots test this morning and BFN, which is why I'm strangely confused at late AF and PG symptoms

Right, 45 mins till my taxi arrives and 3 hours work to do

Neeko · 15/09/2009 15:02

Jools keep the other test and do it on holiday. Have a great time when you're away BTW.

VJay · 15/09/2009 15:06

I'm lurking and sending you all hugs xx

4everhopeful · 15/09/2009 15:09

Ahh bless Vjay lurking & Bon voyage to Jools have a fab time and r e l a x!

mermaidspurse · 15/09/2009 15:14

vjay have you managed to get your baggys on before midday yet?
Give Alex a big aunty mermaid kiss.xx and hope you are feeling ok and have surfaced from post birth soreness etc.

mermaidspurse · 15/09/2009 15:21

opps flamin button
jools have a fabby holiday and hope your body of mystery sorts itself out.x

ig without all of you I would think I was mad.

neeko you are sounding mellow, am hoping you are ok.x

bakingqu I am so so till keeping everything crossed for this coming month.

4ever acch give me a desert Island! we will all lurch through this week somehow
right off to a meeting. Love to all, thanks.x

cupcakefairy · 15/09/2009 15:30

Mermaid I almost shed a tear reading your post. You're right that it will always be with us. My friend whose wife has lost 4 LOs said to me that he thinks once you are touched by death, it's alwys with you. made me sad. Well done you keeping your chin up through cousin giving birth etc. That is lovely about the butterfly thing.

Jools my babymad tests showed BFN on day 30 (day AF due) and 32... get a first response!

Iggy lots of handholding for you xxx

Joolsiam · 15/09/2009 15:38

they didn't have any FR at Paddington station ! I have 1 Boots test, two Tescos test and another Clearblue Digi at home. Did a First Response at 12DPO ...

Oh well, will see what tomorrow brings

sorry, am getting super obsessed and tired, so can't respond to all the sadness - am thinking of you all though x x x x

BuddhaBellyBigPants · 15/09/2009 15:52

BakingQueen Sorry TEW got you, lets hope the 2nd round of clomid does the trick this time
Iggy Sorry TEW got you too
Barbie I like the look of those tummy tubs, definatley take up less space, when is your 20 wk scan? I am so loving the different story every day from the Barbie camp Isn't it lovely feeling the LO move? It is wonderful to see how life has changed for you in just a year, you are a very special, lucky lady
VJay Sounds like your giving Alex gold top Glad your all doing so well
Jools Pants on the BFN, but I haven't given up hope on you yet, have a fantastic holiday and hope you come back with some really good news
Hoping Like I said to Mermaid only you can make the right decision and you sound as if you have peace from it, so I salute you non-ttc lovely lady and am very pleased to see that you are not going anywhere. Let's hope a BFP sneaks up on you too
Blue So of you planting bulbs, I can't even do my housework which I know sounds like bliss but when DH does it and does it badly (bless him) it's so frustrating
Moon I am so sorry TEW got you as well, I hope you are feeling a little better today, please don't worry about moaning we all do it, it's very theraputic
MLS Will be thinking of you on Thursday and crossing everything for a positive outcome. Our bodies like to confuse us in more ways than one, I am still hoping the dates and measurements are out for you x
4ever Still very proud of the way you are dealing with your anniversaries, you are such a strong and beautiful person. It sounds as if some of your friends need a gentle reminder of how supportive you have been to them, shame we can't give it to them so they can look after you in RL, our hair strokes aren't the same when they are only virtual
cupcake Have I missed anywhere if you are having an early scan? Knicker checking takes over your life by the way
MrsKate Good luck for Friday
Blue I am so with the knicker checking in the car plus some other very odd places I won't mention
Fifi You take as much time as you need to get over you loss, don't worry what other people think, you have to look after yourself physically and mentally
MM Bet the bump is looking good now? Happy anniversary
Mermaid Big hug winging it's way to the coast for you, why is it that it only seems to be us that remembers EDD's etc, everyone else just forgets I suppose, it's easy for them they don't have to think about it after the initial shock wears off.

Sorry for the huge post but I needed a good catch up
Really hope I haven't missed anyone x

BlueMoon1981 · 15/09/2009 19:42

mermaid you have summed up how I feel, ?grey?, that?s a very good word. Just generally bleurgh, and not in any particular place, with no way of getting anywhere very soon, or finding my old self. Sometimes I think that my weeble is faulty and it can fall down.

4ever I feel so sad for you that you?re having such a crap time of everything. I agree with what you say about us being punished, I have felt lately that this must be the only explanation, I mean there is only so much crap you can take before you start to lose the plot a bit. My heads all over the place? and for what its worth no one remembered my edd in rl either.

iggy sad for you too, but does this make us almost cycle buddies though along with bq and hoping too?

hoping you are being very brave at having some time off with no pants, I hope it gives you the break you need and you will be in a better place come the new year. Make sure you stay with us though.

barbie your story gives us all hope, but you must stay away from dangers like ironing with your trousers on!

jools I really hope this is your month, keeping my fingers crossed for you

mls really hope that things will turn out well for you, have been thinking of you lots

neeko how are you doing? Joining in the group hug.
