Emmsys angels xxx support for mummies of lost angels part 2 xxxxx

[barbie1]

Hello to everyone coming over from the previous thread and for all the new girls who will sadly be joining us...
You will not find a better bunch of girls to help you through such a hard time, we will get through this with the help of each other xxxx

there i was getting pleased with myself going twice a week & there's jools doing 7-10 classes a week!

When I started at the gym, I was so unfit, it was embarrassing. I was nearly 5 stone overweight and desperate to lose a lot for my sister's wedding, in 18 months.

I got a bit obsessed I think, and at one stage was doing 2 classes per day, with only one day off !! I exercised so much that, for 4 months, my weight didn't go down but my shape changed incredibly - my sis hardly recognised me at her hen night !! I toned up and lost 3.5 stone to go from a size 18/20 to a 14/16. That was 16 months ago, and I've put a stone back on since then but am trying to lose it again.

Just call me obsessed ! I have no children and now work locally most of the time, so plenty of leisure time to get to the gym every day and still have an evening

At my booking in, my midwife got a bit funny about the weight I was then (13.5 stone, 5 ft 3) and told me if my BMI got any higher, I'd have to go under a consultant. I want to try and lose a lot quickly so that I can have a lower BMI next time I see her

well done with the weight loss, that's really good.

I did Slimming World a couple of years ago and lost 2 - 2 1/2 stone but that was without exercise. A lot of it has crept back on again, but im going to focus more on the exercise than the dieting as dieting makes me so miserable!

molliandtheivy don't get too caught up in any stats, I am highly sceptical of them myself. If I have an over 50% chance of successful preg then why have I just had 3 mc in a row? The consultant told us today of a woman who had 12 mc in a row and then went onto have a baby, no problem was found and therefore no treatment was given...............I guess it comes down to plain luck at times, that's the frustrating part. The other thing with us is because we have dd they are not expecting to find any issue with the blood tests, they would probably be more open minded with you. Try to stay positive and see what happens, this just feels like a game of chance at times.
Actually found out something interesting today, in the tests for blood clotting they drip you blood over some kind of snake venom in the lab, I don't know what I thought they did but certainly not that.

mm I totally agree it does seem to be a 'game' of chance, as the doc said to me, I've just been very unlucky twice, and I found that very hard to accept at first, but I'm not giving up on this 'game' yet xx

Hi vjay going by the law of averages then our chances should be getting better, fingers crossed on that one. Next year has to be better year for us all, I'd say there is a very good 'chance' of that.

Been trying to post all day, at work and been ran off my feet all day, might not seem like it but I really do some work here honest. Mollie been thinking about you today and last night and I feel so guilty for worrying you about your percentages. Next week you will go to your appointment and get positive news and this time next year you will be holding you little bambino, either that or you will be hibernating in your house worried that your waters will break in your local tesco.

Big hellos to everyone especially barbie vm jools sabs blue and anyone I haven't mentioned. Will try and log on later xxx

Hi All,

Meant to say last night that I love the xmas names although mine is a bit rubbish! Maybe santassatinsash would be better? too many s's though...

Not much to report here other than back to work and not feeling as melancholy as I was last night - sorry about my Johnny Mathis ramblings .

Hello (or should that be ho ho ho?? ladies! ... I'm not going anywhere, believe me; I'd miss you all too much!

mm, You sound as wise as always and seem to be keeping the so-called stats well in perspective - I'm sure you're right and that mc often comes down to chance in the end... so many women have a number of random mcs and then go on to have a successful pg, and the docs aren't any the wiser. I hope your results give you a firm answer, but as you say, it may just be a matter of keeping on trying for as long as you and dh are prepared to. February will come around very soon and by then your body will be well and truly healed - and I still have a feeling in my bones that the next pg is going to be a lucky one for you! x

barbie, glad you've got over the nasty car shock; you must be so pleased that dh is on his way home soon!

VJay, tons of babydust to you! I'm finding that having a normal existence again which includes ttc is doing great things for my morale - it feels as if I'm part of life again... hope this is your month and that the stork will be on her way for you by Xmas!

blue, glad you're feeling well; weepiness sounds par for the course at this emotional time of year and in the early stages of being pg too!

Mollie, hang in there and don't give up; as the ladies say above, repeat mcs aren't a firm prediction of the future. Hope your appointment brings you some answers. ((hug))

sabs, meant to say ages ago that I'm really glad your visa came through!

jools, wow, your exercise schedule is really impressive!

hivm, sending lots of babydust to you too, it does give you a boost ttc doesn't it. We will be on the 2 week wait soon enough, then testing around Christmas, but I fell quite positive in a, what will be will be, kind of mentality. Good luck to you, and I'm so glad you've not disapeared

VJay, let me know what happens! I have everything crossed for you!

I will vm, and you must keep me updated too

mmulledwine Don't worry about me I do enough worrying about everything for both of us Thanks for your very postive view of my future, means a lot But I will only be smiling if you have your little one there too!
Barbie Hope your OK my lovely?
VM Hello stranger, in a funny way I'm glad you're being distracted by RL as it can only be a good thing.
Vjay Good luck on the 2WW

Hello to everyone else hope you have a wonderful weekend

hi everyone!!!! waving madly!
I have had a busy day, first work and then the gym....and i havent even had dinner yet.
vm glad you havent disappeared
mm honey, i really do hope you are ok, feb will come around soon enough i promise you. Look at me only 3 months ago i couldnt see december ever coming and now its only 2 days until dh is home, flights finally confirmed for monday morning
mollie i here, nice to see you, your other thread seems so nice, im glad you have such lovely ladies looking out for you...
Im off to eat but will be around laters if anyone is here? xxx

Hello again,

barbie two days till dh is back, I am excited for you hun. I know you have had a tough few months but this is where is all starts to get better. Hope you can still squeeze some time for us and are not too busy with dh .

vm so glad to hear you are not going anywhere..........would miss you way too much. Your words always cheer me up, also hoping those bones of yours are right.

mollie been thinking about you today and you know what we will both be smiling with our little ones.

vjay fingers and toes crossed you and vm get a nice christmas surprise!!!!!

blue don't you apologise for tears over Johnny Mathis, kids singing christmas songs get me every time.........dd is an angel in her nativity play next week and it will be hankies at dawn when I am watching...........and that's me not even preg.

sabs and jools well done both of you and your gym visits, maybe I will get my backside down there after christmas.

I am feeling fine atm, we had decided we wouldn't ttc until after christmas as least so Feb isn't too much of a stretch. After the year we have had we needed a break, think my body needed it as well tbh. Although the tntc does just seem totally wrong but not for too much longer. Hugs and waves to all you lovely ladies who make the days way nicer than before..........can't really remember what I did before mn.

Hello everyone, happy Saturdays all round. I'm putting up our tree and decs this afternoon with ds, he's so excited....and so am I . Hope you are all OK, barbie I'm so pleased dh will be home so soon, but please don't forget us!!

vjay I love when the christmas tree is up, we put ours up on Thurs, dd couldn't wait any longer, neither could I tbh. Hope you have lots of fun getting all christmasy with ds.

mm waves and offers mmulledwine to everyone, ok maybe a little early for that.

It's never too early mm, but I'm off it now,(in the 2ww), don't want to risk anything. We did have a lot of fun putting up the tree, ds put all the baubles around the bottom, so I've just spent the last half hour discreetly moving them

vjay fingers crossed the 2ww will be worth it, you may just get the best christmas present yet!!!!! Lol at ds, this is the first year we haven't had to quietly reposition the baubles after dd, putting the tree up this year was much more fun..........and quicker.
A little part of me was remembering this time last year we were thinking we would have another lo by now, guess I need to hold that thought for a little bit longer.

Hello everyone,

After a massive dose of RL, I've been missing my dear friends in mumsnet. How is everyone doing?

It's hard not to remember what could and should have been mmulledwine (is that you MM?! I need to think of an xmas name) I think Christmas will be hard. But next year is a whole new year for all of us.

(curly sneaks off to catch up on everyone's posts )

That me alright curly(mm) good to see you back, there will be a sad part to Christmas as it is always a time you reflect but just think of all the lo's we will all have this time next year.

Phew... that took a while (nothing to do with X-Factor being on at the same time ).

You girls are fantastic. I hate to read that sabs, scamper, jools and mm have been down and poor barbie you seem to have a lot to deal with at the moment, but it's good to know that you are all getting through it. Jools you are amazing with your 7 classes a week and for losing all that weight. I'm glad that there has been good news too for people - that the visa came through for you Sabs and dh will be here soon barbie. Fingers crossed for you ttc VM and VJ. MM your appointment sounds quite positive. I understand you would feel flat though. It's hard to remain upbeat about everything after what you have been through I have my appointment with the consultant in two weeks and I'm getting nervous. Still no AF to report.

I had such a giggle at sab's and barbie's stories of handcuffs and sticky tape. And the thought of VJ's ds doing chewbacca impressions. He sounds adorable and makes me so want one of my own.

I finally finished VM's book today. Not that it wasn't addictive but I've been out of the country and could not squeeze a hardback into my ridiculously small bag. It was a case of choosing between the book and bringing underwear with me... I went with the underwear (it's real chilly out there) Anyway, I thought it was fantastic, VM. Very beautifully written. Your main character was so flawed but so human, I didn't predict the ending but it was just right.

Hope your knee is getting better mollie. Will you need to get surgery? I hope you are tucked up on the couch or in some cosy pub with your feet up and a nice tall glass of wine.

Daisysmummy I hope you are okay? Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

Scamper, how is my lovely neighbour doing? Did you find your cat? I love greenwich market too, sometimes a little too much

Gosh.. Tis a bit quiet in here tonight though. Anyone want to join me for a nice glass of white wine?

Sorry MM, I need to write faster and stop crossposting. Now glued to NCIS, waiting for Xfactor to come back on

Hi curly good to see you, I bet it took a while to catch up, we do talk a lot and we'll be needing a new thread soon. I'm off to watch X-factor too now

Hey VJ It's sad how excited I am to be watching xfactor again after missing it last week . Who do you think will go tonight?

I don't know it's a toughey, not Alexander for sure, but between the other three....what do you think?
