Just back from hospital - test results after EPRC showed partial molar pregnancy. Tired, fed up and in need of good news stories. Please!

this one It's not even my thread! I am a thread stealer, and not a very good one at that.

oh fucky bollocks, habs. sorry i didn't see your update earlier (MN really need to sort out 'threads i'm on' imo). nothing to say really, is there, just that i hope that on the paradigm of 'it's not as good as it could be' i hope it is as good as it can be.

Thanks, Aitch - I guess it could now be worst case scenario (ie chemo), but that is really not a terrible thing - just dispiriting and saddening, and realising that it really could be up to 2 years before we get to try again.

On the plus side, you and ht have my blessing to hijack this thread for potty training chat...

Glad to see Aitch along to cheer you up too! PC crashed as I was just asking for help to avoid you being drawn into my poo obsession. I know you're not quite so scatalogically obsessed.
Hope it's not chemo treatment Hab.

aye, well i don't want dispiriting and saddening for you, i reject it out of hand. i want lovely and kind and miraculous. but i'll tolerate 'not as bad as it could be', i suppose.

i will investigate the potty training as we've had an oddly unsuccessful day so i'm wondering if we have a rebellion on our hands. by the way, lapin was looking for places in italy to stay and i mentioned you had your very own castello...

i want this to work out beautifully for you, you know. it would be right, i feel.

Sorry, didn't mean to disappear. Ds fell at school today and has sprained his ankle. He doesn't do pain well and had to go and give lots of cuddles and get him back to sleep.

Glad your dh will be there for you tomorrow. Nothing particularly helpful to say really, just sending good vibes and trying to think of a good joke to make you smile.

ht - it's after 9! How have you defeated the cunning technological wiles of MrTwiddler? And yes, actually, keep your poo talk away from me. I know you and your kind.
Aitch - that's most kindly positive of you, but I guess if it's going to be bad then I want to know Now. And it doesn't always happen to us, you know - we had an increased risk of NTDs after dd1, but LittleHab is so fine it's scary. So there, odds. . Where's lapin asking? Can't find it.
Posey - poor DS! Am sending sympathetic whimpers to him. Bath, bed and book soon, I think. DD has been saying "Tummy sore" for a day or so, so tomorrow could be a right old NHS-fest...

Ah yes - Mr Twiddler took pity on me some weeks ago and lifted my 9pm mn block. I haven't hoovered the stairs since.

Just realised Mr Twiddler is a less than complimentary title!

littlehab imo comes right under lovely and kind and miraculous, or at least i feel dd does. More of that, please!

i think she may have mentioned it on another thread, or possibly even via the electronic mail . if you see her around you could tout your pasta stories at her and see if she bites. (the greedy beggar will, i bet).

OK - I'm going to bed with book. HT - will call you tomorrow.
Thanks so much, all - will update as soon as I have news.

what time's the app? i will watch the clock and send zingy positive thoughts at the appropriate moment. (usually about 20 mins after the app due to start if it's NHS )

Ok - spoke to NW. At the moment they think it may be retained product, though whether that means another EPRC or Methotrexate I don't know. hcg levels are up. Appointment for a scan at 3pm with Dr A, which is good - scan dept are fab, and know us well... Will update you later.

AitchTwoCiao · 22/05/2008 09:28

fingers crossed it's erpc. i've had metho, tbh it does take it out of you, whatever they say. will squish eyes together hopefully at 3pm on your behalf.

Habbibu · 22/05/2008 09:45

Plus side of metho, though, is that it's also used for psoriasis, so could kill 2 birds with 1 stone... . You can give me the gen on metho later if that's what they say.

Habbibu, good luck on your scan, I had retained product when i had a molar pregnancy, and had 2 d&c's, unfortunately I went on to methotrexate eventually, because my hcg levels were so high, and the mp was persistant. I'll be thinking of you this afternoon, good luck.

Good Luck Hab. Hope you're doing something nice as a family until 3pm.
