Try to stay positive girls, one thing I really must say is dont pin your hopes on symptoms being a good sign, my last mc I had sooo many strong symptoms I felt like death and things unfortunately went wrong, this time I've had barely any symptoms at all and am now nearly 23 weeks. So if your not feeling too ill don't worry it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Any news on Mannymoo?

Morning Ladies
How are we all? - lots to catch up on I tried to stalk - but that didn't work as hubby has had me helping him both in what was left of the factory and also at home on an evening typing quotes, rotas, emails etc.
The last few weeks have taken its toll on us both especially as a couple as my hubby has gone from manual work (a printer) wondering what's for tea
to his dads right hand man making decisions involving millions of pounds so as you can imagine he suddenly has all this responsibility and the welfare of the other 15 staff as well as companies etc to consider now so as a family we have taken a bit of a back seat and all the child care and household has been left to me - which has been fun considering the children half been on half term and the eldest who has autism hates change - can't have more of a change than mum working
One good thing we know the fire was not deliberate or foul play so there is no reason why the insurance should not pay out - eventually!
in the meantime hubby will probably have to work away in a different town for a few shifts (well if he expects the men to do it - so he should to) he also may have to go away to Italy to sources new machines. I think hubby still can't get over the fact how much in the last few weeks his dad has aged and this has put a lot of the responsibility on his shoulders
Hubby does now know though that I am not one of his men - but his wife and whilst I support him I will not be taken for granted etc - as the other evening he came home stressed and was in the bath relaxing, I went up to ask him a perfectly reasonable question about the car (it needed new tyres and I needed to budget of course) he told me to stop nagging him and that I sounded like........(he hates this woman with a passion - she is the wife of one of the men) lazy, inconsiderate, selfish etc you will all have met the type thinks she is a cut above and should be treat like a princess whilst not putting anything into a relationship.
Well sorry ladies I just blew and I picked up his work clothes which were artistically thrown on the bathroom floor and threw them in the bath with him - it didn't help his mood but boy did I feel better
Anyway now I am off to stalk properly and hopefully I will be able to get on here a bit more regularly now things are getting into a different routine once again

Hi Ladies - TGIF! So much news to catch up on!!
Garfie - not sure if I missed some past posts but what fire did you have? Sounds like things have been a bit hectic. Hopefully will calm down soon. I did chuckle about you throwing DHs clothes into the bath - the things we do to make ourselves feel better. LOL. Hope your cycle is being cooperative at the moment?
Lou - I can't believe you're on maternity leave already. It feels like just a few months ago that you got your BFP. Its so exciting now that little babies are imminent. Although sounds like you are just as busy on leave as you were when you were at work. And about those size 10 jeans - thats just not fair. Have you got a bump pic to share? Eeekk about the big baby!!!
Sath welcome back from holidays. Hope the cold is better. Any sign of OV? I agree with the other ladies - your next cycle will be a fresh start and I'm sure that will bring good news. We got this BFP straight after our last holidays. Fingers crossed x
Amazing life - its nearly testing time - whooo hoo! When will you test. Any symptoms to report?
Twinkle and Cupcake - its great that you both have your scans within a few days of each other. I think you will both be just fine! I think I've asked before but do either of you have dopplers? That is the only thing that got me through from about 10 weeks until my scan at 13 weeks. Stay positive. I can't wait to see some lovely little scans!
Laubull I think you are very brave to work until 38 weeks. What do you do? Hoping it is desk-bound and not an active job. Hooray for being in the third tri. I work on third try being from 27 weeks and I think thats how B&B do it to. I can't wait to be there - 6 more days!
Elaine - I can share your pain. Having being on bed rest for 5 days, I am about to go insane. But the ladies are right, you just need to take it easy for a little while longer. Maybe even just resign yourself to the fact that you may not go back to work before baby arrives. How was your follow-up scan this week? Did they confirm a boy?
Cheryl and Poptart - hope you're both doing well??
FMS - I got out of hospital on Wednesday night and have just been relaxing ever since. The bleeding stopped on Tuesday but because I had lost so much blood (about a pint in a couple of minutes!), they kept me in a bit longer. I went back my GYN this morning and all is looking fine. My cervix is a little bit shorter than it should be so he thinks baby will be early but hopefully not too early. I've had 4 steroids shots and go back for more in 2 weeks time. But we've got lots of exciting things to look forward to - our maternity hospital tour next week (even though I've just spent 3 days there!), 4D scan the week after and our ante-natal classes start on the 4th March. I just want the next few weeks to fly by so I can be in some sort of "safe-zone".
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. xx

Thats great news manymoo..Hope evrything will be fine in coming days too.As for me, i am 12 dpo had some cramps yesterday whole day..thats it for symptoms .they could be AF coming symptoms too.will wait for one week before testing if AF doesn't show up.Wish me luck ;-)
Wow amazing life. You have a lot of patients! I would have been testing since 10dpo already. Let's hope the cramps are growing uterus cramps and not AF cramps. I've had them with 2 of my 3 pregnancies so hoping it's a good sign!
Garfie, I didn't know about the fire either, what happened?
Love that you threw DH's clothes in the bath, might make him think twice before snapping at you again! It sounds like you have been an absolutely fantastic, supportive wife of late and you deserve some appreciation! xx
Manny, so pleased that all is currently well. Here's hoping your little one will hang on in there a few more weeks. For some reason, 34 weeks has always stood out for me as feeling quite a 'safe' time to get to, because if baby were to come then apparently they wouldn't need to give steroids at that point. But you have had steroids anyway now which is great. Every single day in there counts and makes it more likely that everything will be ok. Keep us posted xx
Amazinglife, I agree with Manny, you are extremely patient! Think most of us here are poas addicts, holding out even til AF was due was always beyond me!

Manny- have decided to definitely try to avoid induction now- from what I've read and been told, it would mean a lot more monitoring and a higher likelihood of intervention being needed, and I really think that with my pelvis as it is I will be better off keeping moving if possible and not having to be confined to a bed. Life is definitely a lot more bearable now than it was a week ago! I am managing to do plenty of walking now which seems to be helping, and I'm enjoying an afternoon nap each day as well- absolute bliss! x

Sorry Ladies I thought I mentioned it - or maybe I didn't we got a call 2 weeks ago today to say the factory that belongs to my father in law was burning down 
I was feeling sorry for myself as the witch had put in an appearance again - but after getting that call I gave myself a quick kick to the bum and got on with helping instead of moping
Lou - I agree induction is fine - if either you or the baby needs it - but having being induced on son number 2 I wouldn't recommend it, not only was it painful it was also a waste of time in my case (they did it because he was 2 weeks late) Where is that bump pic - in fact ladies where are any of your bump pics?
Amazing - I have to agree I test far to early - partly because I need early intervention though what they can do I don't know - I have HCG tests and worry I then have scans and worry - ttc and beyond is one big worry - so if you feel happier not testing then I say don't however we will all be there cheering you on when you do
Sath - Where are you in your cycle hun
Twinkle/Cupcake - Can't wait to see your scan pics - good luck at your appointment ladies
Laubull - Working upto 38 weeks - go you - I worked up until the night before with son number 1 however he was a month early
Elaine - Hope you are taking it as easy as you have been told - if the doc says complete bed rest that's what he means
Mannymoo - How are you feeling hun now after your scare - you have such a busy time ahead
Love to all the other ladies

Garfie, sorry to hear about the fire, I hope everything goes through ok on the insurance. I like the look of your chart though, I hope that was ovulation, fingers crossed for a BFP this month 
Only 10 weeks left at work......arghhhh! On a positive note I had my 28 week check up today, bloods done for GD, heard baby's heartbeat, measuring on track and had the whooping cough injection, all in one visit!
Hope everyone is well

Sorry amazing life 
good luck for this cycle x
good luck for this cycle xSo sorry Amazinglife. You will get that sticky BFP in the end, I am sure xx
Garfie, sorry to hear about the fire. Hope it all gets sorted and doesn't cause you too much hassle. I don't know much about charting, but if Manny and Laubull think it looks good for you, it must be! I'm rooting for you all the way!
Laubull, glad your appointment went well. Just take it a day at a time (provided you continue to feel up to it) and you will get to maternity leave in time and then you will have all that lovely time with your baby to enjoy afterwards xx
I also saw the midwife today, all well with me too, and she says no way does she think my baby will be as huge as they made me think at the hospital. She said she will fall over in shock if he's huge because where on earth is he hiding if that's the case! But she did say that my whole bump is just made up of baby, so although my bump is small, he is a good size, and all stretched out from my ribs to low down in my pelvis (yes, thank you baby, very comfortable for me!) - but definitely not huge! What a relief!
How is everyone else? xx

Sorry af got you this month amazing life, I'm waiting for her to show her evil face but a new month is a new chance.
Lou sounds like your little man is growing nicely how exciting. Are you starting to get nervous about the birth?
Manny how are you doin hon?
Sorry I havent been on in a while had a bit of a pity party going on. Having a long crazy cyclejust can't wait to get to the next cycle. March tough month had my fist m/c 31.3.12 and then my 2nd EDD was 18.3.13 yuck! We've booked day off work so maybe go to Welsh coast or something not making the same mistake of trying to work that day.
Take care everyone
