curly thank you why did they never find them, stamping flipping flippers. Mine is a bit smaller than those mentioned 12x10x9mm. Thats a bit scary about the mc stats and why they sent me for a thorough scan about 6 months ago.

I am quite freaked actually about everything and think I may go and find some christmas chocolate. Not helped by the fact I just read that fibroid sufferers should eat leafy green veg. oh joy. I'm 41 need to dye my hair out of neccesity and not fun and look like a botticelli angel after a particualy bad session with added wrinkles.

Oh mermaid am so sorry they couldn't tell you something more definate. This weekend isn't half going to drag for you. It's good what they said about the last lady having had a sucessful birth though, and good news that your hcg levels have gone up. I really hope that there is more good news on Monday...

Thanks for the reminder too, you are lovely to think of it with so much going on with you. I will go and grab a glass now, and will be keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you x

ps I think dh would like it if I dressed up as Lara Croft

iggypiggy · 17/12/2009 13:20

lovelymermaid what a horrible day for you - but once again there is some hope and I think I'll cling to that for you.

Two of my friends have been diagnosed with fibroids in the last 6 months - both had surgery and both recovered well.

Hope you get some good chocolate and i will be thinking of you loads all weekend xx

Neeko · 17/12/2009 13:27

Hi Mermaid I'm clinging onto hope for you and sending you loads of hugs and a very expensive selection box. Totally inappropriate but your comment about slapping your mum with a wet fish made me splutter my lunch over the keyboard . It's good to see that Mermaidwiththefightingspirit is in there still.
Don't mean to be harsh, but let your lovely DH cope with the cars and all that stress and just try to focus on you. xx

Monkey Good luck for this weekend.

MLS delighted to hear that you're being prepared. So nice to hear you with a plan again.

FWIW i'm going for 3 out of 3. You all deserve a wee Christmas miracle.

MummyLovesSadie · 17/12/2009 13:33

Neeko you are lovely! x

GracieGirl · 17/12/2009 13:34

Continuing my praying for Mermaid over the weekend - whilst I'm sanding walls in the utility room.

MummyLovesSadie · 17/12/2009 13:37

Can I ask everyone's opinion on this please. I did 2 different opk's today. One was a cheapie from Ebay that I always use & a couple of hours I did a 1st Response that the lovely Sabs sent to me.

The cheapie was a very definite positive & the 1st Response was a negative. Which should I trust?

(BTW no matter what you say I'm going to try & tie dh to the bed tonight anyway!)

mermaidspurse · 17/12/2009 13:46

I think one must be more sensative. Thats a bugger you asre going to go and do another one now aren't you?

I would be tempted to say go with the one you always use, you know your body mls
If it is really a negative at least you are practising and giving dh a good dusting down and getting rid of any tired swimmers.

gracie I am impressed with the sanding just make sure you rest and eat cream cakes at regular intervals.

neeko sorry to make you splutter
trying to sc myself up to ring her.

barbie1 · 17/12/2009 13:49

mermaid why oh why is this happening to you eh? Im sorry you didnt get a definate answer, but im going to remain positive for you over the weekend...and for the records my bloods didnt double the first set i had, it was only at about 7 weeks they were in line with the guidelines, and then i had a scan too...still clinging on to the 'its too early theory'
No idea about fibriods or anything so cant help you there im afriad...

mls trust the positive one, you cant get a false positive right?

Good luck to all the girls who are mid cycle, lets start new year with a bang and a fresh bunch of bfp's

Ive been in bed all afternoon with a horrid migrane...parcetomol isnt touching it, although the sleep has cleared most of it. Called the midwife who told me to be v careful as migrane is also the same symtoms as pre eclampsia, if my symtoms re-start of dont shift within 24-48 i have to go to hospital to be checked over....

Hello to everyone else lurking today...

Neeko · 17/12/2009 13:54

Mermaid Make the call. It'll all feel better once you've done it.

MLS No offence, but the cheapies have worked before so go with then. Clearly despite your watch you are not a woman with expensive tastes!

Barbie Hope you feel better soon.

No news from 4ever yet? What time was her appt?

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 14:10

mermaid if your mother says any such thing I shall personally pop over and slap her myself. Don't have any wet fish for the purpose but I can definitely come up with wet lettuce.

As for green veg, they should be kept in their rightful place and now is definitely a time for chocolate and more chocolate. I am sending you some scrummy leonidas in case you have finished neekos selection box already

monkey if anyone can do it, lara croft can just remember Anjalina joli ended up with twins after making that film

mls go with the cheapie, it must be more sensitive and timing can make all the difference. I reckon today (and tomorrow, and the next day) is the day . Make sure you drink some grapefruit juice before you jump on him and do the bd wiggly bed dance after

I'm agreed on the let's go for 3 out of 3 this month. Just wondering about Moons cycle too - maybe we could make it fabulous four.

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 14:11

I think 4evers appointment was at 11:40 so she's probably still in there or waiting for the consultant to finish the 18th hole

mermaidspurse · 17/12/2009 14:13

I expect 4evers clinic will be running late

neeko I'll wait untill the Archers has finished cos otherwise she will be even more grumpy

barbie glad you are being super careful, you remined me of how heart in mouth your first weeks were and it is so lovely to think of you looking like an elephant - mermaid runs -

VJay · 17/12/2009 14:16

mermaid I am going to stay positive for you here and keep on sending the positive vibes your way

VJay · 17/12/2009 14:16

Wanted to add thanks for all your congrats on my exam marks you lot are ace

barbie1 · 17/12/2009 14:19

elephant?????
guess you have been sneaking a peak at the new facebook pics although im feeling more of a hippo, all short and fat!

Have you called your mum yet?..

Hello curly and vjay!

VJay · 17/12/2009 14:36

Hiya barbie 4ever so glad the doppler is working for you

Has blue been on here yet today?

mermaidspurse · 17/12/2009 14:44

omg blue where is she???? what do you reckon vjay? cos you are the brainy one

mermaidspurse · 17/12/2009 14:49

aha look fab. mothers phone has been engaged for the last half an hour.

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 14:50

Wasn't blue cleaning bathrooms yesterday? Is that the kind of activity that can start off labour?

Big wave to barbie who should be lying down in a dark room eating chocolate

CurlyBigPants · 17/12/2009 14:52

It's a sign mermaid take your phone off the hook and call her tomorrow instead xxx

MummyLovesSadie · 17/12/2009 14:58

Has anyone got a mobile number for Blue?

VJay · 17/12/2009 15:14

mermaid by my calculations blue could be in labour even as I type , I have no idea, blue where are you?????

bluesatinsash · 17/12/2009 15:46

Still here just having a full-on DS day . He has 'allowed' me on here as I was desperate to check on mermaid....

.....there is hope, there is always hope. You're emotions must be all over the place but I am so praying its all just kicking into place and just too early to tell. Remember you have a short cycle which might be sqooiffing the dates. Will be thinking of you ALL weekend and praying, praying like a banshee.

MLS, Monkey and Jools - to the pump girls .

Barbs - hope the head is better x

I have 4ever, Vjay and Neeko's mobiles and will text them when it all kicks off . Had first twinges last night but nothing today...

Better go, DS is standing over me with stop watch and demanding story. Will be back later xx

Hello lovely chatty ladies!

Firstly Mermaid what an incredible headf** for you but as my DH said well maybe all our prayers mean that a christmas miracle is happening for you & I do have high hopes as def so much better than what they said yesterday isnt it? I know it will be a long weekend, hope your mums phone is soon free & you can share with her.. I feel so bad I only just tx you back now, bless you for worrying about me when you are going through all this, you're one special lady - hope you know that?!?!? Think you are dealing with this spectacuarly well.. Massive hug coming your way... xxxxx

Sorry took me so long to come back on here, apt was actually quick, only waited about 45mins & think got bumped up list as was stressing really wanted to see my consultant not his team of registrars & he was off to a meeting so hey presto, not a long wait at all really. Bit worrying that a trace of protein found in my urine & they are sending it off for tests for infection.. Cons reckons not to worry, we heard hb again, & he reckons we really should relax as chances of going wrong are very slim now, great to hear, but easier said than done! Im to ween off the cyclogest now too, bit worrying that all my safety blankets of that, not working & weekly scans will be no more soon but I guess I must be brave..! Will keep the weekly scans til 21wk scan on 26th Jan & see ante natal/cons again that same week... Sorry for making any of you worry! Went to garage to try & fix car window after but couldnt fit me in, then picked mum up & brought her to our house, she is downstairs watching alan titchmarsh & I dashed upstairs to post to you!!! Its been a lovely chatty supportive wonderful thread these last few days & have shed many a tear at all your posts to our lovely Mermaid!!! MLS Im so glad to see you back & in battlestations mode & DD better

Also so very lovely to see our Jools and Bluemoon, plus Monkey too - Im holding out with Curly for 4 out of 4!

Also good to see Annie & Buddha

I really wanna post properly to all you lovely ladies - big to Barbie, Neeko, Curly, Vjay, Sabs and now am also wondering about Blue - I shall tx her MLS!!! Sorry if in my rush I have missed any of you lovely ladies..

Once again, main reason of leaving mum downstairs is just had to elaborate to lovely Mermaid give you a massive hug, a crate of your gold stars, a very half full glass of whatever you fancy, lots of choc, and alot of hope & optimism for your christmas miracle.. Love u so much honey & love you all, god bless everyone (in the words of tiny tim! )

Will really try & be back later xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Also - OMG - unless iv cross posted this is 900th post! New thread by christmas! Please can we keep weebles in there somewhere?!?!? Love ya supersticious4ever xxxxxxx
