mermaid am hoping and praying for you, and will be thinking tons of positive vibes for you tomorrow.

monkeybumsmum · 16/12/2009 20:56

Oh mermaid I'm so sorry As the others have said, you so deserved this and for it to be going wrong is just not fair. I am so, so sorry. I'm thinking of you and will be hoping for a miracle tomorrow morning x

Neeko · 16/12/2009 21:21

Just adding my prayers and hopes for a miracle. Hope the prawn curry helped a little and you're getting lots of hugs from the two special men in your life. I'll be thinking of you at 10.10. If the EPU feels a little crowded it's because we're all there with you!

Welcome back MLS - down, up or inside out, this is the right place.

CurlyBigPants · 16/12/2009 22:09

Hey moon it's nice to see ya. Sorry to hear about the fight with dp but sounds like it did a lot to clear the air. As someone else said, it's been a horrible year for you but high hopes for 2010

Haven't heard from bq either in a while but will stalk text her soon if we don't hear. Hopefully she is just busy with xmas shopping!

Thinking of you mermaid hope you are tucked in bed and manage to get some sleep before tomorrow xxx

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 08:11

Here's my hand mermaid and a massive hug for both of you. Will be lurking on my phone xxx

Joolsiam · 17/12/2009 08:14

Moon - I was fighting with DP a lot till I went on the antidepressants. Now, I'm less irritable and don't over-react. Our relationship has improved massively, to the extent that I am hopeful of TTC this weekend (cd 11 today). Glad you cleared the air.

Mermaid - am driving down to the shopping hell that is Bluewater today for a girlie day with mum, but am sending miraculous thoughts in a Cornish direction x x

mermaidspurse · 17/12/2009 08:21

jools please buy yourself something decadent

It is so good to hear that you are feeling massively better. Fingers equally crossed for the weekend.x

I will let you know asap girls, but just bear in mind they are always behind.

MummyLovesSadie · 17/12/2009 11:12

No news from Mermaid yet?

Jools you and I are in sync. I've just had a + ov test & I'm hoping the bd'ing will be successful tonight. We've tried for the last two nights but dh has not been able. Jesus, this bit shouldn't be the difficult part. It makes me want to scream.

Neeko · 17/12/2009 11:37

Still no news? Been thinking of you all morning Mermaid MLS and Jools good luck on your battles this weekend . MLS do you not still have some of that superduper stuff from Superdrug left or is DH not keen?

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 12:20

Just lurking for news of mermaid. Hopefully they won't make her wait too long

MummyLovesSadie · 17/12/2009 12:27

Neeko I have one capsule left & ordered some more this morning online.

monkeybumsmum · 17/12/2009 12:29

Just checking for any news from mermaid. It must be awful having to wait like this...

monkeybumsmum · 17/12/2009 12:30

MLS and Jools I seem to be in sync with you too. Let's hope at least one of us is successful! One out of three isn't too much to ask for surely?

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 12:35

Happy bd'ing girls!! Bring on the wine and the fancy undies

mermaidspurse · 17/12/2009 12:35

sorry girls only just got home.

I am on the weary rollercoaster.

Have never been rumaged around inside so much in my entire life. I am still confused so bear with me on all of this.

Firstly the sac has grown but they are not sure where it is. It could be eptopic, it could be in the right place, the consultant was called in and she couldn't tell either and is 'sitting on the fence'
I can't quite decide wiether to join her or opt for the worse case scenario.

My hcg on 14th was 470 IU/I and yesterday they were 554. "the bhcg rise is suboptimal, however this is sometimes seen in early pregnacy"

So I am back in on Monday for another scan and have my open door in case of severe pain.

To add insult to all this I now also have fibroids and a suggestion of edenomyoisis. I think I have latched onto this rather than anything else. I have been scanned so many times in the last year and they never spotted that before. Or maybe fibroids are like the buddlea in my garden and just grow over night.

The lovely consultant said that the last lady simular to me had a succesful birth.

I am sort of leaning on the fence in a slightly hysterical manner and just don't know what to think/do.

Noone knows, havn't told parents or anythi9ng and I don't know how long I can keep my terror and disapearances hidden with the upcoming christmas frivolities upon us.
mermaidthemad thats me and dh is stressed beyond stressed with customers clamouring for their sodding cars before christmas holidays start.

4ever I forgot about your appoint. hope it is all ok and you are happy in the sun and snow today.

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 12:43

Oh mermaidthebrave you poor love I wish they could have given you more definite answers, you must be going crazy Great news that the sac has grown but so hard to know.

I am seeing my granny this weekend and will ask for one of her special prayers

I think we may need some of iggys sand for you to stick your head in till Monday. Big hugs and hairstrokes honey xxx

MummyLovesSadie · 17/12/2009 12:43

Mermaid sorry you are having such a headf**k at the moment. This weekend is going to be a long one & we will all be thinking of you. At least the news isn't bad huh?

Monkey glad to hear that we are now a cycle threesome with Jools. You are quite right, one out of three isn't too much to ask.

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 12:44

Can you tell your Mum what is going on and let her manage everyone else? It's hard enough for you to have to deal with this without trying to pretend everything is normal

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 12:55

Hey mermaid hope you don't mind and I know googling is bad but I found this here

"The miscarriage rate in the presence of fibroids is about 40%. Following myomectomy, 80% of patients with a history of repeated miscarriages will have a successful pregnancy."

After your positive news today, I'm still hoping and praying for good news on Monday but at least you may get some answers on what happened before

mermaidspurse · 17/12/2009 13:00

god I've been googling fibroids surely I would know if I had adenomyoisis its like endometritus thingymajig. fgs. I mean thats like masses of pain and painful periods and loads of heavy bleeding.

yeah I know just don't google, I know this.

curly yes its ring mother time when I turn into a 16 year old and she says the immortal words "why weren't you more careful" and I wish I had a big wet fish to slap her with.

mls you must be worn out. Floradix is just the best stuff to build you both up again, its magic in a bottle.

I will keep my fingers crossed the insync ladies.
monkey strap a water bottle to each thigh I'm thinking lara croft type images now.
