So, I thought I'd take it upon myself to kickstart the new thread. As the title suggests, this is a wonderful home full of the bravest, funniest and most inspirational women on Mumsnet, who are always ready to lend an ear and a virtual glass of wine.

The new thread is kicked off with 3 bfps in 3 days, so here's to more love and luck along the way

Thank you prettyvacant1 it's really silly because i keep thinking if we try in may and we have booked to go away fro the weekend for out anniversaire what if i have another MC , it's really silly i never used to think like that, is that normal?

xx

Freezingmyarseoff · 10/04/2010 19:20

mumsie Sorry that you've found yourself here but it's a good place to be to share whatever you need to. (i've only been on here for a week or so, but I find it really good to read everyone's posts)

I totally understand about starting again, take all the time you need. We've decided to wait a couple of cycles before trying again (partly on doctor's suggestion) and I actually feel quite relieved to have the space IYKWIM (...plus some large amounts of alcohol ) but that's just me. Everybody is different.

PrettyVacant1 · 10/04/2010 19:31

It's completely normal Mumsie and although you may not feel it now time is a great healer.
You can't put your life on hold
Book it, give me the Yellow Pages, where do you want to go?
I'll book it.

mumsie123 · 10/04/2010 19:53

he he thank you pretty we are going to book it, it's only a weekend away in Auguat cant wait first time away the night from DC.

I think we may start trying in May, this is going to sound a tad mad, but i'm going by the lunar chart (which worked for me both times) and it sais a girl, only because i heard it's less common to MC a girl, silly i know and daft but i would do anything to avoid going through all the heartache again
i know that it proberly wont make much diffrence what will be will be, i just want to try and be a bit incontroll of something i have no controll over .. does that make sense?

HappyGirl1 · 10/04/2010 21:06

ladies sorry in advance for self indulgent post. As u know i bfpd a few weeks ago. Hit 6 weeks yesterday. Yesterday felt ferocious, was nauxious, sick quite badly. Today boobs totally deflated. Did CB digital, it said preg but only 3 to 4 weeks where as it had said 5 plus during wk. Im pretty devastated as am nearly sure its all going wrong again. DH thinks we shud b positive. Feel fine now but boobs jst gone. Will do another test 2moro. Cant quite believe this. Ive got my fingers and toes crossed that it will be ok. Sorry for self indulgent post i jst am so worried

PrettyVacant1 · 10/04/2010 22:14

Happy I honestly don't know what to say.
When was the last time you tested?
Which day?

Can you get to a EPU and ask for bloods?
Stay positive, I have everything crossed for you.

randomimposter · 10/04/2010 22:20

happy, exactly what MrsG said. Thinking of you.

Gi1da · 10/04/2010 22:59

Happy huge hug

clareanna · 10/04/2010 23:46

Oh happy - Nothing self indulgent about it- it's why were all on this thread- to listen and share and support each other. I truly hope it's all ok- try to relax and stay positive (almost impossible I know). take control and phone the EPU first thing in the morning x

Goodluckbear · 11/04/2010 00:19

Happy - hope you are ok, thinking of you tonight.

Back from hols and so much to catch up on - hi to everyone who's joined the thread, glad you found your way here.

Congrats to Zayja and Barren!! Littlemiss - wish I'd been online last week, sounds like you had a shocker.

I'm going to tentatively say I have a faint BFP - so I was wrong about having PMT symptoms. Hope that if the bean sticks around it'll forgive me for drinking all the red wine last week. Can't do anything about it now anyway.

Sorry to not namecheck properly, I'll get online again on Monday, big hugs to everyone, especially Happy and everyone new.

clareanna · 11/04/2010 07:37

Glb (tenative) great news!

clareanna · 11/04/2010 07:39

Is that even a word? Been up since stupid o'clock with ds who is full of the joys of spring, and I am full of the joys of red wine

PrettyVacant1 · 11/04/2010 07:52

Bit early for sauce innit Clare?
I was woken by my furry alarm clock at 6.45am, it is now eaten and is curled up on my bloody slanket!

I'm going back to bed with my iPod and a cup of tea.

Quiet whoops for GLB! Xx

(Aka MrsG)

clareanna · 11/04/2010 08:08

Never too early! Maybe had a glass too many last night- survival strategy for PIL

PrettyVacant1 · 11/04/2010 08:33

has not is.

My plan of going back to bed was shmuckered by MrG arranging himself like a starfish and looking rather comfy, I think him and the cat are in alliance.

Looks like I'm back on track with R2D2.
D28 and he arrived on time.
I don't actually mind as I'm glad things are getting back to normal.

I'm tempted to be rebellious and start TTC this month as I've only been advised to wait for another 8-12 normal HCG results.
I've had 4...

The Consultant did say if the levels were normal it's possible to call Sheffield and discuss trying earlier as they are aware of my age, Nk Cells and impatience

I'm thinking by the time I've asked, they say ok and we do start it'll be another month and who's to say it'll happen this month anyway? Or the next.

Sorry it's a little early to absorb all that isn't it.

I'm off to look at AIBU till someone wants to play with me

Aka MrsG

PrettyVacant1 · 11/04/2010 08:37

Blonde moment, PIL?
Who in law?
Is it in law?
Always meant to ask that

And I've not even had a drink

Gi1da · 11/04/2010 08:45

Morning all

Clareanna gawd if my PIL were coming I really would be on the sauce! Good luck.

PrettyMrsG I wonder about you sometimes. You may fold under questioning.
Atleast droid is on schedule, and I think the Sheffield post service will ardently petition your cause to just get on with ttcing and bugger all the testing if things look like they are getting back to normal.

Heavens what will Jolly peeing on spuds and you peeing in envelopes it's a whole carnival of wee.

GoodNewsBear Tentative warm fuzzies to you. Quiet hoorah.

And a fingers crossed for Malteser may you be on the way to baybee win.

Oh bollocks should have read thread first!

Goodluckbear congratulations! how lovely, and I'm sure the wine just gave it a nice old warm welcome (a housewarming!!) - who wouldn't want to stick around?
I'll let you decide whether/when to put yourself on graduates - but yay!

Happygirl really sorry you're feeling worried. Were the tests from the same box or batch? I'm sure there can be variation in their sensitivity. I think the advice to try get blood tests done at the EPU is good. Hang in there.

PIL - parents in law, right?

But MrsG why are you peeing in envelopes?

Mixed day yesterday for me. We had a birthday party for a friend's boy to go to, place was full of my nct group who I haven't seen much of lately. Walked in to find one had a 5-month pg bump and another was announcing her pregnancy. Couldn't do much about it, so just walked straight up to the first one, gave her a big hug and got it over with, then spent the rest of the party concentrating on DS to stop myself dwelling.
Stopped off a good friend on the way home while DH took DS home for the evening. Drank wine, sat on couch and talked and talked. She was brilliant and I am very lucky to have such a wonderful friend.

This morning, peed on the first of my strips - ordered from amazon they arrived yesterday. Showed a +ve result which made me sad again. Think I'll test again on Wednesdays and a weekend until I get a negative.

clareanna · 11/04/2010 09:21

PIL - parents in law

PrettymrsG - hmm is a tricky- why do you have to wait that long after levels returned to normal and rtd ? Is it because risk of another one is higher ? Or risk of mc is higher for a while? Are there statistics you can peruse on these things ? Maybe now is the time to google (if you haven't cracked already?!). Cats and dh definitely in cahoots - my old cat had a blocked tear duct and every morning at 4.45 she would jump on me (never dh) until a great big fat tear would drip from her nose onto my face- this was then followed by furious face butting and purring (cat not me). was a lovely way to be woken up- I miss her..

Gi1da · 11/04/2010 09:26

And a merry bollocks to you too on this beautiful spring day LadyBee . Nothing worse that seeing +s when you know you need a -. It's another of the bloody indignities that we really don't need. Leave it as long as advised then you get to save the sticks for when a + is good news again.

And don't worry, MrsG's not a urine/stationary fetishist.

Gi1da · 11/04/2010 09:27

As far as we know.....

PrettyVacant1 · 11/04/2010 09:40

Well done for staying sane at the party LadyB not sure I would've when suprised like that.
I've been told I wear my heart on my face not sleeve like people who actually have emotional restraint!

I pee in envelopes and post them to Sheffield General as my last mc was a molar preg and my hormone levels need to be monitored for a while incase there were any rouge cancerous cells floating around me.
But there's not, it's all good.

Gi1da I literally can't hold my own water!
There's nothing wrong with me! If they tell me to wait till Aug I'll scream.
Should I ?
Go on, tell me I can...
< jumps up and down clapping hands >

I likey PrettyMrsG
Better than VacantG

I love my PIL
They give me lots of wine and spoil me.
They like me more than MrG

Gi1da · 11/04/2010 09:52

Sorry gallows humour I know but rouge cancerous cells makes me think of little cellular bastards running round with pots of blusher.

My name is Mrs Pedant and I'll get my coat......

Gi1da · 11/04/2010 09:56

MrsG, you may not be able to hold your own water but half the Sheffield post service has!

I think you should tell them that you're getting impatient and little accidents might happen.. and see whether they actually freak out or just roll their eyes at you and pass you the Holy Sceptre of Imminent Diffment.
