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

buffy i too like the idea of a little brian

Gosh allthe8's that's a bloody long time can see why you are completely fed up of it.

I'll have a small red if I may, didn't sleep today. It's ok, i do sleep depravation well really, there are some benefits to a poor sleeper, dd3 didn't reliably sleep through till gone 18 mths i'd say.

Re my doula work, I did cancel the lady that was due then as i had my mmc and contemplated passing my others to colleagues but thing is as a doula you become so close to your families and protective that I want to see it through till the end. The lady today I've known 2 yrs now as she booked me for her 1st child in 2008, This is their last child and they are a wonderful wonderful couple. It meant the world to me to share it with them. There wasn't even a pang about me to be honest, it's not about me, it's all about them, and you just get lost in the moment. It's a fab fab job.

WE are still going with the sex every other dat theory and still no post erpc period so waiting, am booking docs for next week if no sign as they said 4-6 wks and at my age i can't really afford to leave it too long if there's a problem.

Hope everyone has a good weekend, my 6 yr ds is dancing in a student showcase on sunday to a routine he has completely choreographed himself so am really looking forward to that. His godmother is comng to watch and i haven't seen her since xmas so am really looking forward to seeing her too, she was my best friend before we moved to kent and now we don't see each other as much as we'd like.

Yum Yum Yum - I've eaten my portion - hope it works. Thanks clareanna. Have some wine, I've only got red but allthe8's may have white.

I'm logging off now to watch the second Coronation Street - that Becky is bugging me cos she's 2 weeks behind me in her 'mythical' pregnancy and I hate her cos she's still preg - yes ladies I DO know it's not real!!!

Bye for now. I can feel the tiramisu working already

liahgen66 · 26/02/2010 20:26

clear Ooh i like that idea, have asked my italian friend if it's true but i don;t care if it's not, pass it over.

hmmm

liaghen crossed with you again - how do we do that - psychic or something.

Thanks for sharing about your work, it does sound wonderful.

Here's the red wine 9passes a glass) - enjoy - you've earned it!

AlbaDeTamble · 26/02/2010 20:28

oooh, wine, yes please

unbuffy I'm discovering what you mean about the pmt... it's here with a vengeance, now I know why I was quite so upset yesterday. pmt gives me waves of nausea too, cruelly imitating pg symptoms when I know there's no chance.

Still, have survived a week back at work, AF should arrive soon now, so maybe before too very long my sanity may return??? Happy weekend all. Off to get sloshed

waves to everyone

Unbuffy · 26/02/2010 20:34

Agree about the Corrie thing. On the way to scan (when we found out) was listening to the Archers (My mother was driving. Not my fault) and there was a woman talking about having an abortion the next day. Next day was my erpc as it turned out. never trust fictional characters and thier pretend lives.

No wine still (it doesn't materialise when you wish, apparently) but have found some guinness if anyone's interested?

Have a feeling i'm stuck with Brian now

clareanna · 26/02/2010 20:54

alba my pmt was totally bonkers- hope you feel more settled soon

allthe8s am also having mad first AF- so far 10 days of spotting or bleeding- argh - understand how you're feeling. Am personally now doubting my chances this month (eats more tiramisu)

liah did you know on predictive txt on iphone your name comes up as lush?! Congrats to your couple- a new baby is always a joy, and should be celebrated I reckon!

Am on cold train home and person next to me listening to irritating music- anyone want to keep me company?!

redandyellowandpinkandgreen · 26/02/2010 20:56

Hello all. I had an early miscarriage two weeks ago when I was 5 and a half weeks. I have PCOS and it is the first time I had conceived after a long period of trying.

We are trying again straight away so I am now in the TWW and think I am going to be hit hard if it isn't our month but taking each day at a time.

clareanna · 26/02/2010 21:22

Hi redandyellow- sorry to hear your news and that you've found yourself here...
The Tww is horrid- fingers crossed for you
(passes you some tiramisu)

littlemiss72 · 27/02/2010 07:12

Morning all, looks like i missed out on last nights wine and cake

Welcome to redandyellow so sorry you have found yourself here. On the positive side we're an nice bunch of girls and always up for hand holding, wine swigging and chocolate sharing.

CD 23 after erpc, the count down begins to my 1st period as my usual cycle length is 28 days. plenty of SWI been going on however not holding out too much hope this month would be nice just to get back to normal.

Felt a bit down at work yesterday, two invites for dinner both from pregnant ladies who are having their last day in the office. I declined both as I just cant sit through the oooh and aahhh's right now. No malice it's just too soon iyswim.

Up early, off to collect my engagement ring today! Also heading off to the biggest primark in London for a good old browse through..i could be gone some time

Have a lovely weekend all x x x

randomimposter · 27/02/2010 07:36

Hi all
Jumping on to update list - grabbed Thursday's, have done cycle days but have not yet read all the posts in between in case there is more news?

Sadly learned yesterday that I have had a second MMC, should have been 11 weeks, baby stopped growing at 9. Waiting for an ERPC. Am doing ok this morning, but know it will be a bumpy road in the next few weeks (and longer!) So have deleted myself from BFP list.

Will catch up on all the comings and goings - see you all later.

Icedlemonmuffin · 27/02/2010 08:14

Really sorry Jollster I know words can't really help but thinking of you.

Af got me yesterday so can someone please put me at the bottom of the list.

Being on this thread is both good and bad - good because we all understand and haven't given up - bad because of what we have all been through and it's so sad and frustrating.

Crikey amazed I managed that on an iPod - bloody tiny screen!

Just realised I think I have gone a little mad. I have an awful cold and am just realising how absolutely desperate I am to SWI on the chance that I can be pg again. Have been far too ill and snottily unattractive to entice dp over the last couple of days and am now feeling desolate that am missing potential window. (God before this all happened I didn't even think about such things). Just feel that once af comes it really is all over. I don't think I've come to terms with the mc yet, as though if I can avoid af it's like the mc never happened and I am still pg like I should be. Does that make any sense? I'm just setting myself up for a kick in the teeth in about a fortnight aren't I?

Apols for being totally negligent at name checking, I have an awful memory and a miniscule screen, keep worrying about missing some of you so instead I miss all of you! Loving the tiramisu tradition as well as little brian. Wishing everyone a peaceful Saturday.

AlbaDeTamble · 27/02/2010 09:28

Jollster, I'm so so sorry. I know there's no words that can make it any better.

liahgen66 · 27/02/2010 09:44

Oh jollster that's shit, I am so so sorry.

OP posts:
MrsGazebo · 27/02/2010 10:36

Jollster honey,
I'm so sorry you are going through this again.
It is shite beyond believe.
Thinking of you xx

Muser · 27/02/2010 12:10

I'm really sorry to hear your news jollster. Such a sad thing to have happened again. Thinking of you.

clareanna · 27/02/2010 12:16

Jollster- so sorry- can't imagine how you are feeling, what awful news

I am currently hiding in a changing room having had a total panic attack. Shopping with hungry toddler, too many bags and no pushchair- (how stupid?!) in busy cafe, dh turned up and disappeared to get a table, toddler threw massive tantrum on floor, I dropped my tray AND NO ONE HELPED. Just lobbed ds at dh and had to make a run from it before I started howling . Normally this is the sort of situation I take in my stride and find funny/ easy. Now I'm hiding in a cubicle typing this in an attempt to sort my brian (!) out and calm down.
(wipes tears away, deep breaths...)
am clearly not right at the moment

Pollybloodyanna · 27/02/2010 12:18

Jollster I'm really sorry too (I think we spoke on another thread). That is such a shitty thing to happen.

Gi1da I think I am feeling the same as you - thinking that only another pg can erase the mc for me. I am also desperately swi although I am still in the wtf cycle and have no idea if I am even ovulating. dh is not being at all supportive about the whole thing - told me off for feeling sorry for myself this morning.

hope everyone has good weekends anyway.

Muser · 27/02/2010 12:30

clareanna deep breaths. You will be fine. Some deep breaths, then go back out, have a cup of tea and go home. Maybe buy yourself something indulgent on the way home.

Pollybloodyanna I know how it feels to think only another pregnancy can solve things. But please don't pin too much on that. It might help, but you might also end up very scared about how the new pregnancy progresses and it can bring its own problems.

My enforced ban on trying again is actually really helping me deal with things properly this time, rather than just rushing on to try again as I did last time. Not that I think you shouldn't try again straight away, just don't think it will be a cure all.

Gi1da · 27/02/2010 13:14

Oh dear clareanna just take a very deep breath and walk out with your head held high. Poor thing! Cake and tea for you immediately!

Spare a thought for my poor dear friend who had a moment of public shame this week. Standing in a cafe/deli queue at busy lunchtime and tutting from impatience. Looks at woman behind to share a moment of god how long is this taking. Woman behind looks a bit strained and pointedly looks down at floor. Friend looks down to see that her slip has fallen right down and is hanging around her ankles. Fuck. Pretends aloofness and casually steps out if it, reaches down, picks up and carefully folds before placing in handbag. Move along nothing to see here. Endures further wait till gets to cash desk. Chap at till says "so what've you got there love?". Friend suddenly thinks he must have seen her put something in bag and has shoplifted so completely loses cool, gets slip out of handbag in a fluster trying to explain that her underwear simply misfired and it's been one of those days, and she doesn't normally wear a slip but last time she wore this skirt someone told her it was a bit seethrough and and and blither blither etc. Poor chap goes bright red and says "er no, I just meant what did you have on your tray.."

Muser thank you for wise words re ttc right after mc. I know it makes sense. Will do my best to take to heart. Pollybloodyanna you too. Gonna be tough though, sorry to hear you are going through this too. Guess that kind of makes us what-the-fuckbuddies?

Unbuffy · 27/02/2010 13:57

Very best wishes jollster and (((())))

Clareanna hope you've found your way out by now! It's funny how the littlest things can drive you to tears...
