This is going to be a long one... Have been in poor headspace recently so thought I would stay off here being a grumpy miserable bastard with nothing positive to say. Having settled down to read all posts since Tuesday (with my large glass of wine) I have realised I would have been in good company! Why were we all so down at the same time? - Cheepz being the exception. Proud of you staying so positive, I'm sure that will be such a benefit for your next pg and hope you get the support you mentioned.
Jules, Redhead, Kalo & Harry - hello to you all. Sorry you're here and hope you are coping. I can honestly say that this wee thread has been a god send since my MMC discovered at 12 week scan. No one can understand this unless they have been through it themselves and being able to vent, give TMI or ask ludicrous questions without feeling bad or ridiculous really helps you heal. Sometimes the things I read from the other ladies are the thoughts in my own head and it keeps me going.
Slim & Clareanna - happy birthday! Hope you have/ had a good one with lots of delicious food and fine wines. The finest wines known to humanity!!
Zayja - congrats, sounds pretty definite to me. Really pleased for you after such a long wait - every best wish to you pal.
Barrenbrook I'm really excited for you!! I'm keeping everything crossed for you, again, someone that really deserves some good news and a very, very sticky bean. Looking forward to hearing your updates!
GLB totally empathise with your post about your mate. I'm in the same boat with 2 friends and 1 relative all due within one month of what was my due date. Also reacted to friend telling me she was pregnant by crying which didn't make her feel awkward at all... I think I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself because I feel that if I am not pregant by the 3rd of July I am really going to lose it. Hope your holiday is going well.
Viv & Clareanna - I was staying in London on Tues night too, down there for work but staying south of the river. We could have had a TTC after MC get together!Viv I am a nightmare at the moment left alone with my own thoughts so the 5 hour journey back up the road was dreadful. Couldn't read my book (travelsickness) and had forgotten ipod so spent the duration looking out of the window feeling dire about what should have been to the point where I was greetin in a public place. Am starting to get a grip now, honest.
Littlemiss I do agree with all those who said you should go for the job. You don't want to end up regretting not applying. That said, I had the same dilema in Sept and applied for an internal promotion which was a fair step up - after ages deliberating whether it was a good idea while TTC and worrying about impact of additonal stress if i did get pg. So I got pg in Oct, job interview in Nov, got the job then MMC the week before Christmas. Lots of guilt about whether I put work before TTC/ pg however, nothing to suggest that's what caused it. Not the only thing I get irrational guilt about either - maybe I MC because i drank coffee/ ran for the train that time/ didn't want it enough/ told too many people too soon/ got the swine flu jab/ took it for granted/ so on and so forth. I think to an extent we just need to accept what will be (wish I would take my own advice!) and believe there is very little we can do to stop things going wrong - unless you smoke crack or go on rollercoasters, etc. Go for it and good luck!
Mrs G - what's going on with your work? Are they treating you unfairly because of pg/ MC? I think I have missed posts explaining this - sorry you have this to contend with too.
Sorry for anyone I haven't mentioned. That will teach me for leaving it so long to check in - my memory is really being tested! Enjoy the rest of your Easter weekends everyone x x
