April 2011 - nearly 2, it's still all about you <disclaimer, I might be having a bad day>

Thanks to Frak, thread title queen!

I'm having a similar scare Ali - not with a lump but with bleeding between periods and after sex (sorry for TMI). I'm up to date with smears but have had irregularities in the past and am due another in a few months. Googling has scared the life out of me, so I'm off to the doctors this afternoon. Hopefully it's nothing too sinister but I am a bit scared. Wish me luck...

Boo about the BFN Fizz. Onwards and upwards until next month!

I saw a friend at the weekend who was complaining about something similar Mrs W. She's only 12 weeks with number 2 but is noticeably pregnant.

TCG - hope it goes well and that nothing is wrong.

The lump is moving around and I can only feel it from one side. Fairly sure it is a breast mouse, but will go to the GP later in the week.

TCC, hope it's nothing. x

Ali, what's a breast mouse?!

I've just googled a breast mouse! I'm sure that it probably is that Ali, particularly if your mum has already had a look, but probably best to go to the GP for piece of mind anyway.

I'm back from the GP. She examined me and took some swabs - she couldn't see anything but has referred me to the hospital anyway. Thankfully she said that was her plan before the examination, so I'm not going to spend a week worrying that she actually saw something horrific that she's not told me about. She said the appointment should come pretty quickly, so hopefully I should know what the problem is pretty quickly.

The thinking about TTC is now on hold until this situation is resolved though!

I'm off to google breast mouse, I have never heard of that before ...

Has there been a trigger with the health anxiety Ali ? A chat with the GP is a good idea. I had it to some degree with ds2, after what we had been through with C. It's tough and consuming, so {{{}}}

Well done for going to the Doc's 20thC, fingers crossed all is well. Let us know how you get on. another {{{}}} for you too.

Try not to worry too much MrsW, unless you're only eating pies all day, there really isn't a great deal you can do. Try and relax and go with the flow. And so you don't feel left out {{{}}}

I started showing with DS2 from about 5 weeks, your stomach muscles know what to do so they relax

Ali - hugs hope you're ok, will have to google breast mouse myself in a mo!

Twentieth - I had lots of bleeding after sex back when ttc-ing DS1, I had cervical erosion & PCO, the erosion went by itself, as long as I didn't use tampons & no sex for a while. The PCO went with Metformin. Hope you get some resolution.

Just waiting for AF to arrive here so I can start taking the pill looking forward to condom-free sex (tmi!) but not sure i've made the definite decision re DC4 just yet. Hopefully though the pill may ease the PMT & spotting pre-af that i've had going on since having DC.

Rubbish day at work. Lots of changes going on and responsibility being removed from certain people because they are crap to lessen their loads. But god people are possessive! Ask a question and you get the and "what do you need that for?" Look. Erm to do my job!!!!! It's not your job anymore. And they will only give you the bare minimum in assistance! Aaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhh

Feel better now!

Tcg, glad all seems fine, try not to worry. Everything seems to go south once hve had kids!

Ali, get thee to the geePee! It's the only way you can get a definitive answer. :)

Thanks for the love Aprilites - and thanks for telling me about your experience JKS. Hearing about stories like that is good at the moment. I'm hoping it's something like that in my case.

Boo to rubbish days at work Fizz. tonight maybe ;)

I had a bit of an MN hooha/collision (hence radical namechange and absence) but I'm back because I needed MN support whilst POASing today. I'm another Aprilite on the babybus!

DS was 2 on Sunday and my name is a clue to my location. Oh and I make killer thread titles.

Oooooh gotcha!

Does that mean you've POAS aand had a BFP?!

Excuse my denseness, it's been a looong day! Congratulations if so :)

You can't just come on here talking about POAS but not give the results

Does getting on the bus mean you are swi or have a bfp? There are far too many acronyms for me!!

At what was the hoohaa?

I've had that at work before fizz, it's a pita and unnecessary.

I was out last night, so we are going to watch Broadchurch tonight - it's all rock and roll here

Oooooooooooo congratulations nom.

Sorry I've been quiet. Keeping up though. Hugs where needed....

Dh is out and the boys are ill....again.... Coughs. Which for a means puke.

Sorry for being mystic! There was a BFP and shitting myself at the same time. I have 2 5hr exams in 6 weeks or so....

Come on fizz I'm rooting for you so we can be buddies again.

JKS I'm so sorry about your Mum :( and your PILs are being really thoughtless!

Ali I've never heard of a breast mouse either but fingers crossed the lump is nothing serious. Definitely worth a chat about the health anxiety though.

Oh punctuation! That reads wrong!

There was a BFP. etc

Congratulations Nom!

My hormones are starting to ramp up with all these bfps. Next year, next year....

Congratulations!

TCG - glad the GP thinks all is well

Nom - yay congrats! How many weeks are you? Weirdly I had a dream you were pregnant last night!

I know I need to go to the GP, but seriously with one thing and another I've been in and out of there like a jack-in-the-box over the last couple of months. I swear a siren goes off when I walk through the door
Thanks for the support though everyone, much appreciated

Congratulations Nom :) another one on the bus. I'll join ILike being nosey - what was the hoohaa

I admit I thought breast mouse was an interesting autocorrect. I'm going to have to look it up too.

I think the nasty bug has finally left the Firefly household. M was sick just the once and seems fine. I probably should have been off work again yesterday as I had then had the other end of it but finally feel ok today. I'm taking it as a sign that at 5 months pregnant (!! How did that happen?) I should try and take it a bit easier. Therefore the bike will be put to bed for a while and I've started getting the bus to work. I also took it a bit easier on the slides at soft play today . M is a bit of a daredevil and likes all the big equipment so I do have to follow her a bit to give her a leg up on some of it :)

Yes, I want to know what the hoohaa was too

Good to hear the bug has finally left the Firefly house. I can't believe you're five month pregnant either though. We're going to have another mini Aprilite sibling before we know it!

See, see! Us lot we can't see green cheese! Congrats Nom

iLike it is a pita, but it is necessary IMO. I'm getting a new boss, one who thinks like me (could mean big barneys) but I think we both have the same forward outlook. So much so, I might be considering going full time.

Forgot to say about work being shit today. They cancelled my holiday for next Thursday for Bs first day at playgroup :( It won't be an issue CM will take him. He goes back and forth there anyway with her and they all know him, but they don't know meeeeeeeeeeee waaaaaaahhhhhhhh :)

Oh yeah and the hoohaa??

Ali really?! That's really weird.... also you were dreaming about me which is weird in itself

I like my newnickname, sounds like the Cookie Monster.

Hooha? I let rip about a certain politician who makes ill informed statements and should move across the channel since she likes it so much. Ahem.

Aha, I know the one!

Nom - yes I know, v.strange! I don't make a habit of dreaming about people on MN...

Fizz - sorry work is shite, but good news about the new boss and full-time possibility.

I have made an appointment to see the GP tomorrow, and so am now nervous . My whole boob is achey, it does feel increasingly like it might be feeding related. Really hope it isn't mastitis, although obviously that would be vastly preferable to some other possibilities!

ILike - I'm not sure what the trigger was tbh. January was incredibly stressful with DH being out of work, and I had a horrid viral thing which took me ages to shift. All my glands came up in my neck and armpits and it frightened the life out of me. I've had full bloods done and they came back normal, and the glands all went down after the virus had cleared up.
And then since then I've had symptoms of anxiety. Pins and needles, pains in my arms, ectopic heartbeat, neuralgia in my leg, and so on. Each one comes for a few days and then goes away again - and I've been back and forth to the GP, they must be so sick of me! Deep down I'm sure it is nothing, and the blood tests back that up. Both my parents are very sure that I'm fine (both Drs), and Dad especially is prone to be very over cautious.
I'm going to have a chat about the anxiety when I go tomorrow because it is really crippling.

Sorry about the essay

Congratulations nom, lovely news

I saw you snuck in there kitty. I hope the boy's coughs are better today. How are you doing?

{{Ali}} I didn't realise you'd all been through such a tough time at the beginning of the year. Hopefully your GP knows some coping techniques to help you, or can refer you.

Once the boy wakes up we're off to get their hair cut. I have bribery snacks ready in my pocket.
