Ok, feel a bit scared actually starting the new thread but here we are, for however long (or short) our time here may be.

Off you go ladies. Welcome () one and all.

Liah Sounds like you actually have a Dr that is listening, which is great news. FX that the tests bring some answers and I bet it's something incredibly simple to correct too!

Floweringcurrant You sneaked that BFP in very quietly, cheeky! Congratulations!

Alba I missed you out earlier, I meant to say that I that I thought you saying that this month was a dress rehersal was a better way of looking at it and not harsh at all, you plonker!

Unbuffy I'm joining you in the stage, t'is not effing fair at all, hurrumph (barrenbrook tucks into the lucky marshmallows)

Had a bit of a shitty down day again today, it seems as though this m/c is affecting me far more than the first a year ago, or maybe it's so long ago now I've forgotten how shit I felt. I don't know. I keep welling up, it's crap! DH is nights this week and has left by the time I get home from work so no cuddles from him either, I'm having to make do with snuggles with the puppy (but he keeps biting my ear and trying to eat my hair!)

barrenbrook · 08/03/2010 20:52

Oh and Cheepz, splendidly lushious news lady, you must be chuffed to bits

Muser · 08/03/2010 20:56

Hello all. It's been busy in here!

I had my first day back at work today, was a bit daunting today but I made it through. It felt very weird. Only a few people know what happened, I'm sure everyone else thinks I was off with stress!

randomimposter · 08/03/2010 21:00

redandyellow probably when you're holding your cherub in your arms - actually not even then, that's just the beginning....! Hope all is fine for you. Have toes crossed - can't type with crossed fingers.

flowering - woohoo. If I'm up early and do the stats shall I add you to the BFPs...?

liah tres tres TRES impressed with your GP. That's really great - how are you doing with it all?

unbuffy had no kitchen for 6 months last year. MMMM, that WAS fun.... glad DD back to angelic status .

hippy - special wave...

and warm squeezes and hugs to all.

Had my scan today - no need for surgery tomorrow - which is super. Had a TMI ALERT odd moment earlier when I passed the most enormous clot.... it felt like I was pooing something but frontwards obviously. Have to do a HPT in 2 weeks to ensure all gorn away... and then I guess it's onwards and upwards. Going to explore acupuncture as my new "solution" ...

Anyway off to watch Married Single Other... tarra to all xx

randomimposter · 08/03/2010 21:02

barrenbrook and muser a special seaside cuddle to you both x

hippychick66 · 08/03/2010 21:10

jollster thanks for the special wave - Hippy waves back. I guess it's good that you avoided the surgery but still would have been nice if you could have chosen !!

We'll probably start ttc-ing at about the same time - lets both get a BFP asap !!

I am soooo of you being by the sea-side. I check the weather in IOW every day and it's ALWAYS better there - arrggghhh gotta get there this year. My next baby will be born in the IOW - there that's a pretty positive mission ststement on both scores.

Enjoy single, married other. I just don't see Ralph Little as a sex symbol - yuck.

hippychick66 · 08/03/2010 21:15

Sorry, meant to say muser well done on your first day back at work. It's horrid isn't it.

Mine was last Monday.

I know you've really been through the mill and must have had to take a hell of a lot of deep breaths before walking through the door.

Hippy hands Muser a glass of wine/cookie/cup of tea/large scotch!!! You choose.

hippychick66 · 08/03/2010 21:21

Sorry, me again

Just wanted to say to those of you who watch coronation st. WTF is going on with Becky. She seemed to MC all in one go in about 5 minutes in the loo. She then went to the GP who told her she was fine (how did he know?) and despite MCing about 1 week ago she's been shagging all this week.

I know she's not real - honestly I really do!! But I think they could have done a bit more research. I didn't actually expect to see her buying huge sani pads in the Kabin, but I do feel that her MC was all over in about 15 minutes. Oh well, maybe I just need to get a life .

randomimposter · 08/03/2010 21:36

hippy are you me?
Hear hear on Mr Little - he's a child. (Also pale and clammy looking - unsexy personified).
And Corrie? Don't watch it all the time but dip in.... agree totally.

floweringcurrant · 08/03/2010 21:43

ooh yes please Jollster I think that would be ok, got a positive on the digi this afternoon so I'm tentatively starting to believe...
hope everyone is alright this evening. hang non in there redandyellow.

liahgen66 · 08/03/2010 21:47

hippy I don't watch Corrie but I agree that the researchers really need to put a bit more thought into this stuff, same with tv births, I can't watch em, being in the business so to speak, drives me demented.

jollster Glad things are moving along for you. You will still have good and bad days but once the actual practicalities so to speak are over, it gets easier to look forward.

Personally I have more bad days than I care to admit, especially to rl people, they all think i'm fine and happily waiting to get up the stick again. Truth is, I'm bloody terrified that i'll never get pregnant again. It struck me today that I would have been 18 wks now an dlooking forward to me 20 wk scan. I think about it Every single day. My dh doesn't know and would probably think i'm a little nuts to be honest but I get through each day cos I have to.

I did have a nice day with my littlest dd today, just went to an asda living store, then tk maxx, then homebase, ( i know how to live I do) but we stopped for a huge muffin and a drink, she pottered about looking at stuff and I got her some yummy little leggings. I know I'm lucky but i feel so empty.

Sorry about that, Well done to you muser it's always hard to get back into the swing of things. (((())))

liahgen66 · 08/03/2010 21:47

Oh and errr no Mr Little most definately not

OP posts:
hippychick66 · 08/03/2010 21:52

Jollster hee hee - Yes he is a bit pale and skinny. And he's about to blow it with a girl who is far too good looking for him!!

Shall we take our new babies to the beach some time next year ?? Fingers crossed.

A positive on a digi is good news flower. Is it one that says conception date?? It would be good if you could do one of those this week and then one next week - I did that and was so excited to see it go from 2-3 weeks to 3 weeks plus - made me feel like things were going up (so to speak ).

Of course I don't know your financial situation and those ones are very expensive so don't want to get you into debt by encouraging you to do loads of digi tests.

hippychick66 · 08/03/2010 22:03

It is so weird lia. This is about the third time that I have been typing a message and then when I post it I find that you've just joined and typed something at the same time and our posts have crossed. We are so in-tune!! .

So sorry to hear you are still having a hard time every day. I realised I would be 15 weeks today and thought it wouldn't be long before I got flutterings.

Do you still find yourself stopping and saying, "What the hell just happened - I already had a baby in there and now I'm stuck TTCing again." It's sh*t isn't it.

I get what you mean about TV births. They go from - 'oh a twinge' - to - 'gotta push' in about 5 minutes. I guess it makes it more exciting and most programmes only have about half an hour to show a birth.

Question - if we all find Ralph Little so unappealling, who the heck cast him as the sexy male???

liahgen66 · 08/03/2010 22:10

maybe they asked the work experience girl who she found attractive?

OP posts:
MrsGazebo · 08/03/2010 22:38

Evening all

I'm a football widow tonight so I've nabbed the crap top.

So much to catch up on....
I've been trying to wean myself off obsessing over when TTC if TTC how TTC sites and MN kinda fell into that
I can't stay away for long though and feel like a fraud

Barrenbrook honey, I'm so sorry to hear your news, Utter shite!
Hope you're doing ok.
Well done for not losing it with your mate, can't say I'd be able to do the same.

Welcome Diliahbelle and Maitri again sorry you've found yourselves here but as you've already found, it's a nice place.

Way to go Cheepz I'm made up for you both.

Congrats Floweringcurrant and Redandyellow Jolls how you doing?

Liah good to see your Doc is on the case!

Muse glad to see you got through today without yanking any arms off.

Hope everone else is well and sorry if I've missed anything.

Well it's been a bit boring in the old Gazebo at the mo, absolutley nothing has happened!
Much as I love counting the days since my ERPC ,I have to so I don't loose track when I eventually get refered to Gyne as I still haven't started my cycle Yet
Day 61 I believe.
Have seen a Consultant about Molar, she didn't scan me or take bloods.
She didn't seem concerened about lack of AF either.
Just waiting on a letter from Sheffield, well a brown envelope I pee in and post back, well a tube in a brown envelope... you catch my drift.
They'll see how much HCG or whatever it is is floating around in me and after I've done that weekly for a few months we can possibly start TTC again.

In the mean time it's a no go area and we have to use condoms as I can't take any hormones like the pill or owt.
I'm not boasting but not so little Mr.G in a rubber mac is not a pretty site.

The mood is somewhat spoilt as he struggles to get it on and I'm pissing myself laughing.
Don't get me wrong, it's not freak show material but the ones that we have, just look, a-hem, funny.
I know you can buy bigger ones but I've spent all my pennies on OV and Pee sticks and also secretly wouldn't mind the odd accident
Also me thinks he may feel inadequate if they were too big.

See! This is why I stay away!
None of you really needed to know that!

hippychick66 · 08/03/2010 22:42

I guess if you were about 16, he might be cute. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be nasty to him. In real life he seems to be quite a funny, nice guy. But he doesn't exactly get you in the mood for TTCing does he?? .

Johnny Depp (but not when he does the weird look) or Brad Pitt (without the grey beard). Now they are far more sexy.

What a fussy old Hippy I am.

Night night all. Hope tomorrow is a better day for those of you feeling really down at the mo.

hippychick66 · 08/03/2010 22:47

Am chuckling away at the thought of Mr Gazibo needing bigger condoms and Mrs Gazibo having spent all the dosh on OPK's.

My DH would love it if I posted that he had a big willy - even though no one would know who he really was. hee hee.

MrsGaz lovely to hear from you - you are a stream of inspiration (oh and larfs!) - admire your spirit greatly. Should you not be on the WTTC list with me and Muse?

Maitri how are you? Pop in and update us?

Morning to all. Hippy have just raised a cup to our beach date!

zayja please stay with us. I know it's tough

MrsGazebo · 09/03/2010 09:29

Mornin' all!
Hmmmm.... lookin a little cloudy here Oop North, but bright.
Was going to go on a bike ride but I'm still in bed!
May just fling myself around Living room on the Wii for a bit instead.
Won't actually need to get dressed properly then.

Jolls till I get a test sent, for me to pee in and then send back and then them send back results with more things to pee in and then wait some more I really don't know what's going on so I don't know how I could be added to the WTTC list just yet
MrsG: WTF. WTTC. WTF. TTC#1. Partial Molar MMC 8/1 .CD 62 WTF. ???? Wait. WTF.

Saw Quack 2 weeks ago so should have something to pee in winging it's way here soon.
Fingers crossed!

Allthe8s · 09/03/2010 09:38

Morning all,

Cloudy down south too, think I am with you on the Wii fit MrsG.

Hoping you all have a nice day and chin up to those feeling a little (or a lot) pants, brighter days are just around the corner x

Unbuffy · 09/03/2010 10:07

Hi Mrs G - Welcome back! Would you belive my dh was asking after you a few days ago?!?!? I occasionally tell him (some of) what's goin' on here and he got all worrited about you. Bless 'im.

Hippy yes to Johnny Depp - even weird is fine by me. Plus as you all know by now my peculiar David Tennant fetish... Mr Little - well, anyone seen Stuart Little about an annoying white mouse? Quite.

Very (in a loving, congratulatory way) of redandyellow and floweringcurrant. Here's to a long and sticky one, and to anyone I've missed (Mrs G sounds like you've got the wrong type of one of those. pmsl at sausage).

Waves to all else!

Mummy369 · 09/03/2010 10:10

Hi again everyone,

I went back to work last monday and am having a really shite time. I had a training day to attend that I really wanted to go to but then my manager and HR were being very awkward. Finally got the ok to go and thought the return to work would be plain sailing after that. But apparently not.. Have been to told to use up all my annual leave instead of phased return, then they may add an extra couple of weeks on shorter hours after that! BTW I work with new-born babies.. and also have colleague who is pregnant - exactly same dates and with twins!

Am still not ready to TTC but would like someone to wave a magic wand so that I can be pregnant again.. would have been 18 weeks tomorrow and would have been going on A/L then mat. leave in less than 6 weeks!!

Mummy369 · 09/03/2010 10:14

BTW no AF since MC 19th Jan. So something like CD50 so obviously WTF in every respect at mo!
