NEW YEAR buddies!

[souris]

Hi Girls

Cla, lovely mummy to be. I have been watching the Angola matches, it has been mad here,the goverment gave days off to watch the matches! Unfortunately they are eliminated now...So all my hopes for France (hum hum not doing very well... ) Any way, I am not a big football fan!

Sue , is the bump getting bigger??!! And how are all the others new years mummy to be?

Lynne? Keep positve! I did not know you sing? Are you in a band? Hope the time will go quickly for you, you are half way through!!
I am getting more and more exciting, a bit more than 2 weeks and I will be in France, and I have to do so many things that I am sure september will be here before i know. I am spending a whole month alone with my 6 years old nephew, so I will be busy, then Dh arrives with his 3 youngest for 3 weeks, my mum uncle and auntie will be visiting, so the house will be full!
Anna, how is the 2ww going??

Sophie, I am really sorry. I admire you for deciding that it is enough, it is not an easy thing to do. You are very strong. I wish you a lot of happiness with your family and your lovely daughter.

Hi All,
Souris, you made me laugh! I couldn't be farther from a band singer if I tried. I'm purely Classical and light music. It went ok in the end. It's my job though- I sing and teach singing, so I hope these little embryos inside me like music as I've been doing quite a lot lately. I've got a bit of a rest now so it's not too bad.
About 2 minutes after I posted yesterday I had a show of dark brown. (sorry for TMI) Couldn't believe it. Had a good cry. But it's all clear today so far, but I do have tummy pains. I'm sure it's just my little numbers settling in for the long journey. Oooh this is a killer.
I'm being brave and going out with my 5 months pregnant friend (who I've avoided since she broke the news- smug cow!). It constantly amazes me how unsympathetic people are and she is one of them. But I have bitten the bullet and am off for a pint or two of soda water this evening. Wish me luck.

Lynne !

Sounds like implantation cramping/bleeding to me!! I am sure they love your music and gonna stick with you for the next 8 month and a bit!

Oh Sophie - I am so sorry. It's so hard, especially when you don't even get the chance to get to ET. Wish I knew the right words to say, but I'm sending hugs from the other side of the Midlands.

Lynne - if only there were an exact list of rules for the 2ww. If so and so happens then this outcome etc. But it just ain't like that. Some get spotting or bleeding, others cramps, some nothing at all - all with a positive result. Bloody body! I can't remember your exact test date?

Anna - how you doing? Not long to go now!!!

Hey Souris! Have now adopted France in Angola's place (except if they meet England in the final of course!!!). Although I don't think we'll get that far - we're not exactly playing well! Oh well!

Sue - how's you? Seems like forever you've waited for your next scan (not as long as it seems I'm sure for you!) . Only just over a week to go!

I'm good thanks! Have a midwife app. tomorrow - think it's just the usual wee sample, blood pressure etc. but will let you know how I get on!

Slater!

Hi Souris, Hi Cla.
My official test date is 3rd July, but Im not sure I'll make it until then.
I'm already a day better than last time. I never went this far with the IUIs either so I'm delighted.
I don't remember feeling like this last time, but I think AF arrived so soon after ET I hardy had a chance to worry. I'm not tired at all today which I'm looking at as a bad thing, but we'll just have to wait and see. Step kids are being great and keep phoning their Dad to see how I'm doing. That's really lifting my spirits. I'd better have twins though as DSS wants a boy and DSD wants a girl. I've told them I'll do my best. Nothing's ever easy, is it?
I have funny metallic taste in my mouth? Is this a sign?
I wish Zita would bring out a book called "Divvy's guide to understanding all signs of being/not being pregnant before Clear Blue '4 days before AF' pee stick works". Ho hum..................

[souris]

Lynne, cant know for sure about the metallic taste in your mouth as I have never been pregnant, BUT I have read some posts some time ago where the girls where talking about this strange thing. And my sis had it too when pregnant!!
It is very nice from your step kids... So make them happy and be blessed with twins!!

Sending you buckets of patience and courage til your test date!

Hi all,

Anna - keeping everything crossed for you, you can do it.

Lynne - all is looking good so far, how exciting, keep up the PMA. I had brown spotting for 4 or 5 days before my +ive and the mettalic taste when pregnant.

Cla - Hoping all goes well at your m/w appointment tomorrow, will she also listen to the hearbeat?

souris - how are you doing? Only a few weeks until your appointment, good hey

Me- scan seems like it has taken forever and i cant believe it will probably be the last!!! A week today, although i dont get the results until the wednesday, i am quite nervous. had a c**p weekend, firstly got a £75 parking ticket from Mcdonalds, my own dosey fault as i was parked up for over an hour. then thieves broke into my car to try and steal the spare wheel they bent the door right back so now its in the garage (wouldnt mind its only a little micra), good job i have got insurance. Just so annoying when things like that happen at a time you can least afford it (moan over).

My bump is getting bigger, but not too sure if its 'bubble' or the chocolate (probably the latter)


Good luck ladies

love

Hello girls, How are you all doing??

Anna, not long now, you are doing great!

Lynne, I had a strange dream last night, and reading again your post now, I undersand where it comes from... I dreamt of you, you was pregnant with twins, 1 boy and 1 girl and you called the girl Katia but I cant remember the name of the boy all I know is that it was a short name, 3 or 4 letters.... Oh boy! I hope this is a good sign!!

Hi Anna, Cla, Sue, Souris,

Souris, thankyou so much. You made me cry.
Sadly I am bleeding quite a lot today. Some of it is red, so I think it's the start of AF. I did a pregnancy test which was, of course negative. My official test date isn't until next Monday. I'm hoping against hope that it stops soon and that maybe it's that second little number implanting. But I think I'm kidding myself. DH is devastated, so I have to keep up the PMA for him. I've stayed in bed all morning and am now eating a HUGE portion of my favourite lunch to try and feel better. It's not really working, but hey!

I tried to tell the doctor that I had a luteal phase deficiency as I only ever go 10 days post ovulation before AF kicks in. He looked at me ascance and said the progesterone was there to guard against that, but it's obviously not a high enough dose. Why don't doctors believe that you know your own body? I have started AF on day 9 or 10 after every treatment now. That makes 6 times. I think he needs to take notice next time.
Anyway, if it is AF I won't be able to afford another treatment until January. Time is ticking away for me. But I'm not quite willing to believe I'll never have my own baby. I think I will have to start coming round to the idea though because I'm not sure how much more I can take.
I have a friend who reckons that my childlessness is my own fault because I chose to stay with DH. She reckons that as I knew he had a vasectomy when we got together then this situation has ultimately been my decision. I know my parents think the same and I'm sure it is the attitude of most people out there. Makes you feel crap doesn't it?
I went to see my Dad for Father's Day last week. He stayed upstairs on the computer for 40 minutes before coming to say hello and once my brother and his wife and 5 kids went he got out some photos. "Have you seen these?" he says. I opened tham up and theyey were pictures of his niece and her 1 hour old baby in the hospital. I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. Then he complained because I looked at them too fast.
I'm ranting now. Sorry.

Anna, I REALLY hope things are going better for you.
Let me see your BFP please!!!!!!!!

[lynne]

Sue,
Sorry you had such a s****y weekend. They are swines when they want to be. £75.oo from McDonalds is a bit steep isn't it? Which one was it? I'll throw things at their window next time I drive past.

[sue e]

Lynne - Your message about throwing things at M'cdonalds window made me laugh, just for your information it was the Huyton Village one.

So sorry for the stress you are going through right now, really hoping all turns good for you. I cant believe the doctors wouldnt increase your progesterone when asked, that seems mad. You chose to stay with Dh that doesnt mean you wanted childlessness, i think you need to get new friends, ones who support you unconditionally and at least try and understand the pain and heartache of the whole process.

I dont think your dad really meant to give you a 'kick in the teeth' by showing you those photos, people just dont think, no-one thinks how they would feel if they were in your shoes. I have an older friend who is now a grandmother and in the same conversation i told her about my miscarriage, she dropped in about someone from church being pregnant, i was gutted, if there was ever a friend i thought understood what i was going through, it was her. BIG HUGS TO YOU

Anna - how are you doing? have you been tempted by the evil HPT's, i could never resist. PMA all the way.

Souris - I don't think i will be showing my belly off on the photo bucket!!! just looks like i have ate too many pies . How are you? Are you starting to get excited or does it still seems ages away until you next cycle?

Cla - How are you and bump?

Hopefully my courtesy car is on the way to me as we speak, i can't wait.

lots of love

sue xx

[souris]

Oh Lynne,

I really hope this bleeding is not AF. How upseting are those doctors who dont listen to us!! I have prepared a speech to mine and I am ready not to leave her office until she agrees do up my meds.
I know it must be difficult to keep the PMA, but I hope it is just your body getting rid of the old blood. So many women here bled through pregnancy... Please please someone, make it happen for Lynne!!

How insensitive from your friend , I dont think she deserve your friendship no more. I knew that Dh had had a vasectomy, and so what! We do not choose with whom we fall in love with!! So what should we do?? get with the first fertile jerk we find?? This is really a stupid thing to say.

Sending you a big hug, and hoping that the bleeding stops...

Sue, I will wait until you post pics of your baby!! Do you know yet if it is a boy or a girl or is it too early? (or maybe you want a surprise?)
I am actually doing ok with the waiting now. It has been really hard for a couple of months, but now that summer has arrived it is easier. July and August will go very quickly and maybe I will start the meds in August. I dont know yet...

Anna, you ok?? not pulling your hair out yet??

love to all
