Information, support, hand holding, tea, sympathy and a hell of a lot of combined knowledge - all welcome as we try to make sense of the RMC roller coaster of tests, NHS admin, heart ache and (hopefully) happy endings!
Please start with a recap of your stats :)

Urgh - just been baby bombed on fb with a 12 week scan photo. Think I will be joining you ladies who are giving it up. A lot of the posts are just self absorbed crap and agree monten I just end up reading it and feel worse about myself. x

longestlurkerever · 02/02/2015 19:03

Big hugs twilight. Is there any hope of bringing the scan forward to tomorrow on the back of it?

Baking I think it is faith's Mri tomorrow? Will be thinking of you.

First of my 2 friends who shared my last due date gave birth today. Can't deny a twinge of jealousy even now I am 23 weeks. Know that is mad!

Brummiegirl15 · 02/02/2015 19:19

Unfollow Sun - no good can come of it!!!

Fingers crossed for Faith tomorrow Baking xx

barkingtreefrog · 02/02/2015 19:24

Boycotting fb is the way forward. I am still on there, but only for the group pages I'm on. I have 'unfollowed' everyone I am friends with, so there is nothing to see in my newsfeed and I don't post anything on mine Grin.

My last due date is approaching. My mate is due to drop any day. It sucks. I really thought this time I might be pg by the time I had to face it.

barkingtreefrog · 02/02/2015 19:25

Good luck for tomorrow baking Smile Thanks

bythesea82 · 02/02/2015 19:34

counting hope work was ok today? brummie glad you got through the half day Flowers

twilight I feel your terror, whatever your brain tells you, when you see pink your heart sinks. Sending big hugs, should be about 5 weeks on weds so sitting a few weeks behind you. Will be really crossing my fingers for good scan news.

Also good luck to those with 20 week scans coming up.

baking hope the MRI is ok and Faith manages the not eating ok.....

flen still hoping for you Confused

Hi to everyone else. All ok here, had to remove my head from the sand and call EPU today to try and get a 5 week scan as I only have one tube so they want to check for ectopic. Managed to miss their return call, good start! Hopefully get something in tomorrow. Not excited to enter that place again.

Marchgirl · 02/02/2015 19:44

Good luck for everyone's scans this week and good luck for faith's mri tomorrow baking.

Urgh to baby bombing. Why do people do it?

I've got my first acupuncture session tomorrow. Looking forward to it and hoping they can calm the crazy symptom spotting. Felt dizzy today (which I never normally am) so immediately thought I must be pregnant, then 5 minutes later, Can't stop sneezing with allergies, so can't possibly be pregnant as they normally calm down. Arghh

Brummiegirl15 · 02/02/2015 19:45

Oh Barking I feel for you xx Flowers

I know that sinking feeling when I realised I wouldn't be pregnant for my first due date. I defo won't be pregnant for my 2nd.

All I can do is pray that I'm pregnant for the 3rd one... And pray that the only 4th due date is a "live " one.

It is truly truly shit xx

Flen · 02/02/2015 19:55

Hey everyone, thank you for all your kind thoughts today. Tonight I had Chinese takeaway after a month of dieting, which felt like a good treat. Not expecting much after three negative tests, but just desperate for AF to be here so the cycle can continue and on we go.

march i don't envy where you're at! But I can offer extremely empathic hand-holding....!

bythesea brave! Well done! Hope the call tomorrow goes smoothly.

baking hope it goes well with the MRI.

Everyone who has stopped FB, I am impressed. I have hidden stuff only today. Think if I didn't live so far from my family and closest friends, I would consider it too.

Catlover2014 · 02/02/2015 19:59

Hugs Twilight. I had some spotting at 8 weeks with this pregnancy so know just how nervous you must feel. I'll be keeping everythig crossed that your scan goes ok. I know the wait will be hard.

Good luck for tomorrow baking hope little Faith gets on ok and you and DH are ok.

I like barking's FB coping strategy of unfollowing people. Great idea!! Hope 2ww isn't going to bad lovely lady.

I saw the consultant at my hospital today and I've been told I can have a midwife led birth so long as I stay well. Never expected that!

Thanks everyone.

Good luck to belle and just tomorrow and offering twilight a hand to hold until Wednesday. Really hope all your scans are positive.

Justonemoretime · 02/02/2015 20:16

Thank you Baking, we're thinking of you and Faith for tomorrow, too.

Hello. I posted a few weeks ago when I was going through mc#2. I was in a bit of a state. I just wanted to come back and thank you all for all your kind words and wishes now I am feeling much better. You are all wonderful women and I hope wonderful things happen to you.

I seem to have had a bit of an epiphany: last week a feeling of calm satisfaction came over me and I knew that it was all going to work out for me in the end. I know my baby is coming one day.

Good luck, everyone xxx

Marchgirl · 02/02/2015 20:21

Good luck to you too mama. Are you sticking around for a bit?

MamaLazarou · 02/02/2015 20:26

Thank you. Yes! I have a feeling I will be needing this thread when I get my next BFP!

twilightstruggle · 02/02/2015 20:43

Thank you everyone for the support. It does genuinely help do much to hear from people who really understand how terrifying this all is. I have realised that waiting two weeks after such an inconclusive scan at 6w was ridiculous. Can't be bothered to try and bring it forwards now though. Busy day tomorrow so can stay nice and occupied.

Hope the appointment goes well Baking.

Catlover2014 · 02/02/2015 20:47

Good luck for tomorrow's scans belle and just. Imagine us all in there with you whenever you feel nervous. Would be so funny to insist we all go for hand holding during scans hehe.

Glad you're feeling better mama, love the positive thinking too! Keep us updated on your journey, we're always here to listen and chat Smile

twilightstruggle · 02/02/2015 21:22

Good luck tomorrow guys!x

AndCounting · 02/02/2015 21:36

Survived day one back at work. Exhausted by the effort of functioning outside of my little cocoon. Will be sleeping a lot this week I think.

Thanks, bythesea and hope you get in for your scan OK.

cat I love the idea of us all in the room for the scans. I am going to visualise you all with me in my office tomorrow. Floating along like angels, until something goes wrong then it's

AndCounting · 02/02/2015 21:37

Good luck belle, just and twilight

AndCounting · 02/02/2015 21:39

Thanks for your update, Mama. Really pleased you have found your positivity and calm.

Catlover2014 · 02/02/2015 22:03

Well done for getting through the 1st day cloud. Hope you get plenty rest and sleep tonight. It does get easier in time but yes imagine us all there kicking ass wherever needed Grin

girliesaints · 03/02/2015 06:23

Belle & just, hope the scans go ok today

Baking, hope the appointment goes ok

Twilight, hats off to you gorgeous lady remaining relative calm. Hand holding the whole way x

Sunandrainbow · 03/02/2015 06:32

Good luck with the scans, belle and just and baking for the appointment. x

Marchgirl · 03/02/2015 07:21

Good luck today belle, just and baking. Well done on getting through your first day back counting.
