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

Cheepz that is SO brilliant you lucky lucky thing! I am very (in a nice way of course)! Can't believe that Iceland tried to scupper you Pesky techtonic platery!

Muser · 16/04/2010 11:52

Gi1da still a bit of time for me to wait. Month 2 ends on Sunday, then month 3 begins. Annoyingly, my cycle means it'll be June before any SWI can begin. I think I will just miss being fertile in May. I could try anyway, but if anything was wrong with the baby I'd never forgive myself.

Gi1da · 16/04/2010 12:32

Ah well Muser, scary it may sound as it feels like spring has only just got here, but June ain't really that far away. Better make the most of the gin while you can

Am v excited - have just received my BBC Dig-In free seeds in the post. I have courgettes, salad, carrots, french beans and basil! Haven't actually worked out where I'm going to stick a raised bed (fence / tree in way issues) but still very exciting!

ps Redhead is the Belt of St Godric available for hire?

Gi1da · 16/04/2010 12:33

You can so all tell that I'm working from home today can't you?

malteser1981 · 16/04/2010 12:55

Pretty - glad you are no longer vegetarian and sausages are back on the menu!

As for me - feel terrible - horrible left sided pain. Saw GP yesterday, who, to be quite honest, was useless. See me again in a week and if no better will refer me to EPAC as they only take referrals at 6 + weeks.
I understand that there is little/nothing to see on USS, and I know if things aren't going to wrok out nothing will change that BUT she didn't seem to get that I have pain, and as I'm trying to be positive I'm only taking paracetamol which does F**k all.
None of the classic ectopic symptoms other than pain but I'm still on edge. So I'm going to break my own rule and put the thumb screws on one of the Registrars to scan me tonight at work. I'm allowed to break the rules once eh?

Hope everyone is having a better day than me!
Fingers crossed for those near the top of the list and sympathies to those now at the bottom.

malteser1981 · 16/04/2010 12:56

Ps Cheepz, enjoy, you deserve it!

WestYorkshireGirl · 16/04/2010 13:47

Things still not going well here. Had a very bad night with pain. Took some of the tablets was given when had mc designed for heavy blood loss and cramps. Had strong pain over left side. Went to Drs this morning. He was fairly relaxed about it all but thought as I had been so tired and queasy that perhaps it's a very early mc. Also wondered if iron levels low causing the heavy bleeding and pain. Sent me off to the hospital for blood tests for iron deficiency and also HCG - results next week. He said after mc your uterus is very irritated and it can take a long time to settle down and 3 months is nothing.

As well as all this, also have nasty flu symptoms - headache, shaky and sore throat so really feeling at a low ebb. Pains slightly improved but do feel exactly like cramps from previous mc. Was meant to be working at home today, but not surprisingly I am off sick and tucked up in bed (which doesn't fee right as it's lovely outside).

I am sorry for my moan.

cheepz have a lovely break.

malteser hope you get to successfully bend the rules!

gilda get digging, girl!

Gi1da · 16/04/2010 14:20

crap West that sounds awful . Am very glad you got some tests done, sounds like you need a big fat dose of tlc on prescription too! Wrap up and stay in bed. If you've not read it and like thrillers, I totally recommend the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books, a guaranteed page turner to pass the time while you're convalescing.

Malteser and you too lovely. I think you should definitely bend the rules, you need your mind put at rest so that you can relax.

Jolls you're not wrong! Does the fact that I have work files open on other tabs count? I've just written an account of shea butter production and women's rights in Burkina Faso. (And the washing has just finished - gosh, it's multi tasking all the way!)

Gonnabe · 16/04/2010 14:33

Hi All

Im so happy that its nearly the weekend.. enjoy your spa weekends Cheepz - not jealous, no, not at all

WYG Oh dear, sending you lots of sympathy and hugs, I hope you have a good hot water bottle - sometimes when the pain killers just wont kick in a hottie is what you need.

malteaser you should sooo bend those rules lady, you go for it.

Elms I cant agree with your rant more, its so horrid, my preg friend at work had some pre cancerous cells removed many years ago and a mate of hers said she should tell her hospital as she may need a suture (stitch in her crevix) as otherwise she could lose her baby anytime up to 7 months. She had a problem with her midwife and made a complaint and then said by the way I think I need to speak to someone about a stich so they made her an apt, and when she met the surgeon although he was lovely to her he did say, ohh you are lucky, normally you would have had to have lost 3 babies before seeing me.... JESUS!!

Now I cant really name check anyone more as when I scroll back to remind myself I lose my post so apologies - would a big wave suffice?!

Nothing to report here - pretty heavy RTD with the usual cramps etc - DH did say mabye its for the best as my body might need recovery time - I glared at him, but have to admit he may have a point. Espically after what WYG doctor told her.

Anyway, better do some more work.. love to all.

Freezingmyarseoff · 16/04/2010 16:19

Hi All

Very much looking forward to the weekend. Got some friends coming over, so will get stuck into the wine/gin

WYG sending you lots of tlc, stay tucked up in bed

Malteaser sorry you're having a rough time. I second the suggestion to bend the rules

Cheepz have a fab weekend

G1lda having work files open definately counts as work. But then I only SFH, and quite frankly the whole thing is disastrous. Enjoy the gardening

Pretty although I haven't been here long enough to know the full history regarding the peeing into postal bags, great news about joining the TTC list

Gonnabe hope your hot bottle is helping with the cramps. Totally understand what you mean, DH and I differ on the number of cycles I should wait before TTC. I am willing to try again after only 1 but he wants me to wait for more

Hello to everyone else too, and have a good weekend.

Moofold · 16/04/2010 20:17

Aargh, left it too long to catch up again!! Must devise a way of sneaking on at work....

Gonnabe - fab new name, liking your thinking. Hope that pesky RTD gives you a break soon.

Digigirl loved your fucking rant! Nothing better than some good swearing to make you feel better, its definitely got its time and place. You fucking swear all like as far as I'm concerned. That's totally shit you need to do the chasing, the last thing you need just now. Well done for pitching in too Viv - love it!

Good to see you got your peak Clare on your new fangled CMFM - ha ha! I feel a wee bit guilty about trying this month too as would be New Years Day b'day, maybe even christmas if baby comes early. Right now I don't care though, I'm sure we will be forgiven.

WYG that so shit, I was sure your marathon would have produced results. No wonder you're down in the dumps, take care pal.

NBelle - aye, just outside Glasgow! Well spotted. If you hadn't told me I would have guessed you are Scottish too with the 'bag of shite' phrase. Maybe that's why I enjoyed the swearing so much, its just part of our everyday chat. Hope you're feeling better and had a lovely day out with DH.

Congrats to Mrs PV and your most excellent news! Well chuffed for you.

Malteser defo get that scan. Remember I told you I had that too but have been assured it was nothing to do with subsequent MC as nothing spotted. If its going to help you chill out and relax go for it.

Evening, Gi1da, Cheepz (although you're hopefully away), Red, Elm, Muser, Jolls, Bunny, Freezing, Ladybee and anyone else who's about.

Alba and Liah where are you lassies? Hope you're both doing ok x

Allthe8s · 17/04/2010 10:01

Morning ladies just a quickie this morn before I head off down the coast with DH & DD1 to while away the hours of symptom spotting......

Sorry to hear you are having a rubbissssssh time WYG, it's so disheartening when your body tricks you like that. Hope you are feeling a little better today.x

Good news Pretty!

Malt how did your rule breaking go?

Gi1da happy dig in this weekend!!! I am still waiting for my seeds

Not long muser and the wait will be over, I can't believe how fast the last few months have gone tbh....

I hope everyone is feeling well on this sunny morning, have a lovely day xxxxxxxxxx

I'm wondering if Alba is ok getting back from holidays due to the volcano?

West I hope you're feeling better today and have a day of nothing planned.

Nothing happening here on gusset watch but am feeling a bit gnarly in the nether regions so not looking great. Meh.

Digitalgirl TTC#2 MC 11/04/10

think I'll wait until my first period before trying again. I had such a weird cycle post the last mc that I think I'd rather wait till I know my body has definitely reset itself.

DH is en route to Brussels from Zurich, will probably stay the night and try and get a cancellation eurostar tomorrow. Failing that he has tickets for Monday. Shit timing but at least my mum is off work this weekend.

Went to a wedding yesterday where the bride was 14 weeks pregnant and I got put on the preggos table. Funnily enough none of those women had their husbands with them either (apart from the bride). No the worst bit this week was texting my friend who I know was ttc#2 but was the last to start in our group of mums who met at playgroup. She's pregnant. So I'm now the only one who isn't. Not that I would ever ever wish a mc on anyone but it feels so lonely being the only one I know in my immediate circle who's had to go through this.

Got hcg results at last. They halved. Which is a good thing I suppose. So no follow up scan. The lady I spoke to seemed to think that even if I did have another mc it would be very unlikely that they'd find a cause as I've already got ds. Anyone else been told this?

Hope everyone's enjoying the sunshine. wyg hope you feel better today.

PrettyVacant1 · 17/04/2010 14:21

Hi Di Hi Campers.

Theres not a cloud in the sky but, that's actually not good though is it!

Malterser how are you feeling today?
Did you sneak a scan yesterday?

gonnabe loving the new name

Hope you're feeling better WYG and DH is tending to your every need and lavishing oodles of tlc upon you.

Digigirl sorry you are feeling low, it's hard feeling that it's so easy for everyone else to have their babies.
Your time will come, a friend who has also MC, once said to me that when she did have her DS she wouldn't have had the joy of that wonderful little person and couldn't imagine having a different little bod if she had a successful preg before she had him.
Does that make sense?
I'm sure there is a better way of saying it.
Good news on your HCG results too.

If you're reading this Cheepz
I is vvvv of your Spa break, glad you managed to get away.
Enjoy, you deserve it.

Jolls I'm about 35 miles West of there, if its where I think you think I am ????
The veteran is P.D.
Loving the cryptic
I'm enjoying the structure and expertise so far.

Gi1da seeds? free? salad?
I want free salad seeds.
Do they grow with a nice Red pepper dressing?
Have you and freezing got green fingers?
Do you know anything about cactus'?
I've killed over watered ours, it was is about 30 yrs old, 3.5ft,vicious and called Noddy.
He's gone a bit black and squishy at the top foot or so.

Recent news.
Work is looking up.
I have a meeting with RM and previous manager on Tue.
I'll be having an appraisal and will hopefully be given objectives to work with, which will be a first.
Just want to get it out of the way then start a fresh.
It's been a bloody mess to be honest.
I've been told to sit on my hands, not react and make notes.
I tend to wear my heart on my face.
It's gonna be hard.

It's going to be easy knocking the beer on the head,met up with friends last night for a drink, was sick at 3am and still feel like pants.
I only had 4 pints.
On a random note, whilst in the pub, an old man gave me an orange and a chunky kitkat for no apparent reason.
He had obviously run out of puppies.

In other news, another good friend gave birth to a baby girl early this morning.
I did have a little cry when she text me to say "she'd done it!"
I only spoke to her yesterday and she didn't mention feeling like she was going into labour.

Waves to everyone and I hope you're all doing something a little more productive with your day than me, sitting in my PJ's with a hangover

Thanks so much for all your thoughts. Cramps a bit better, but sore throat shocking. Have been taking it easy today - just been over briefly to see a friend and now reclining on the bed.

Have been talking to DH and am wondering whether to take a step back from ttc for a while as just feel quite worn out with it all and if physically I'm not up to it then don't want to increase chances of having another mc if get pg again. My DH wasn't overly impressed with the idea of going back to using contraception (!) - I thought this would be a definite way of taking a break as there would be no hoping each month which is the worst when it all turns out badly. Still undecided and will wait and see results of blood tests next week.

Hope you are enjoying the sun and cheepz glad you are having a lovely time.
Eights which seaside did you go to?

West Yorkshire girl - glad you are relaxing. take your time to grieve before you make any decisions.

Cheepz - got images of you swinging your hair about a la Cheryl Cole! A much deserved break!

Pretty - never thought i'd be jealous of a hangover, not one drop of alcohol has passed these lips this year. I drove past all the revellers on my way to work last night and could have murdered an ice cold pint sat in a beer garden!

Thanks everyone for encouraging me to bite the bullet and ask for some advice, typically it was frantically busy with babies popping out all over the place .
Cornered the consultant and he has put me on him clinic list for monday for an USS and MOT. Fingers crossed (and unfortunately for DH legs too - his work is done here!!)
Just up and can't believe I've missed another sunny day in bed, damn shifts. Waves to everyone who has been out and about and making the most of it.

Once again girls, thanks for the support. x

Trying to catch up but there's so much and have only got back a few pages so far...

Just a quick one to check in and to say I'm feeling very smug about eco-friendly decision that we'd take train to the alps... Nice relaxing journey today, had we flown would still be sitting on a coach with a very fractious toddler!

Huge congrats for GLB and Malteser it seems, nice to be back to some good news.

Don't rate my chances this month... Had a lovely time but lots of lovely vin chaud and lots of falls (am a beginner), one particularly hard and I think I cracked a rib but avoiding dr and x-rays just in case... Off for long relaxing bath, schlepping bags and grizzly toddler across Paris has made it worse again, but was all worth it for great week
