Warped uterine joke IC!
It might explain the weight and bloaty feelings, definitely. I feel a bit slimmer today. Not sure if it is psychological. I ate an awful dinner last night of some sort of fish and potato burger and some deep fried cheese balls at a kebab house in between pubs! That's the sort of classy bird I am, innit. When are you going to POAS IC? This thread is better than watching any soap opera isn't it! Much more stuff going on. (Note for Pixie - POAS is pee on a stick :) I found that age through here too).
Talking of which, bloody hell LIG! That's really frustrating. Do you think it might be a sign leftover from the mc or, as you also mentioned, that having PCOS might affect hormone levels. OR could it be that any 'normal' person can get the odd faint line too depending on what's going on in the body? I don't know enough about it. I daren't POAS stick myself either, just in case.
A big aussie wave to BLL! Am very pleased you are 'shaking the cloak of motherhood martyrdom' and having quite the social life this week. It sounds like that was what you needed. Obviously I am not a mother so I don't know, but I think when we get temporarily stuck or over focussed on any one of our roles in life we can easily get bored and miserable. That seemed to be where you were a few weeks ago. So it is good that you are reminding yourself that you are a social being and have so many strands of 'you' that it's great to exercise them all! Keep us updated on your sister. Hey, I have forgotten whereabouts you are over there? I love Australia, definitely want to travel more of it. Have been to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and next time want to visit the Whitsunday's and Uluru as well as other places. So many travel wishes, so little time (oh, and cash).
Poor Pixie, I can't believe that treatment!! WTF! Don't these people have anyone compassion. You are perfectly allowed to be stressed, AF or no AF. I hope it does arrive promptly. I can't remember - will this be your second post MC? Are you working it out from the date of your last AF? And how many days post mc did that arrive?
I am filling out a calendar of my bleeding so added a large dark brown blobbing session to yesterdays date. Wonder what delights await me in my pants today. Funnily enough, it feels quite good that things are still coming out. Like IC said, it might explain why I haven't physically been back to myself yet. Hope that after this week I will drop around 5lbs overnight :) I have decided I don't want to get back to the weight I was this time last year as I think I over did it a bit, but just to lose around 8lbs would be ideal. And even then some friends would complain I am 'too thin'. I am not quite sure why they do that, it's always the ones who are thin themselves who do though. I was around that weight in that Maldives video and I didn't look too thin at all did I? Still had quite a few womanly curves I thought.
Talking of video the huge task of completing my new showreel has been, well, completed this morning and I am very pleased with it. Time to starting sending it out with a vengeance! If am not having a baby (well not right now anyway) I want to go full-on with the career.
It's DH's bday on Sunday so I am taking him for a surprise afternoon tea at a posh hotel later (another group on deal), dinner with friends tomorrow night and lunch with more friends on Sunday, followed by a band. So looks like my health kick/career kick will be starting on Monday afternoon :)
Hope everyone has some nice plans for the weekend (POAS and pant checking aside). When does Art go to China? She might well have gone already!
