Jo ami seeing right did AF show up ?

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina. Yes, finally!!

 

[dancareoi]

Hi girls,

Jo, sorry Af got you, but at least you know where you are now.

Fiona, don't think you're quite dead yet! Dip could mean OV today!

Becks. Mention pain to midwife just to be sure. Room looks fab. Becks caseys birthday is day before my DS. We have a busy week next week as DS birthday on 6th and DD birthday on 8th.

DS is going paintballing on 9th with his friends and DD is going bowling on 10th. Plus DS cousin stopping next sat night and Dd friend too.

We are not doing anything spooky as we are down in Wales, but kids are going to carve a pumpkin in the morning.

Regina, my mom is a fab knitter, we have so many lovely blankets and cardigans she has knitted over the years. She knitted me a beautiful pink blanket in the same wool as hat and cardy . You can just about see top part on this picture. (Cot blanket)

Becks, I love those smiley pics of Brooklyn. How sweet is he?

Everyone else ... How are you doing?

Me - I have ran out of pregnancy tests. I am guessing it's left over hormone as it seemed to get lighter so I just gave up on testing. It's so strange because I had tested negative a couple weeks ago but I'm wondering did I imagine it or have a faulty test. I am in cd44 and my body is just screwed. My brain is screwed, my emotions are all over the place, some days I just feel like I am still having the miscarriage due to all the uncertainty.
On Tuesday I woke up (TMI) all damp, when it went to the bathroom there was tons of ewcm, the most I'd seen since my miscarriage. I previously had two patches of it with O like symptoms prior in the past 44 days each time I got positive OPKs almost like I tried to ovulate but didn't, once again yesterday my opk turned really dark despite having positive pregnancy tests. Who knows whether I am pg or ovulating. Me and hubby spent two days DTD regardless.
I will be watching my chart temps and praying very hard that something happens, either I am pg or I get a period.
I have doc appt on Tuesday coming because of my messed up cycle, pretty pointless though because they don't do numbers here in the UK.

yYou are obviously being a very good mummy

 

[HomeEdMom]

Becks - wow ... Don't grow too fast Brooklyn let your mommy enjoy that new born stage as long as possible.

Creative... It is complicated, I am beginning to wonder if I am going insane. I keep getting positive tests yet i have had times where it looks like I ovulated. Day 44 ... Sigh. It's not fair, I'm having trouble moving on while everything is messed up. I bet I end up with a D&C or something equally crap.

 

[josie1234]

Home, it is a nightmare the not knowing. I hope you get answers soon. You just want to know one way or another. I was glad when AF showed in the end as cycle was so long.

Becks - wow he sure is growing.

 

[garfie]

Home - Maybe it's time for a trip to the Drs? - is that you in the pic - if so where are your wrinkles/bags under your eyes so not fair

Becks - Wow he is growing big and strong - did the H/V comment on your decorations

Creative - How are you today hun.

AFM - Maybe I have O earlier this month - the next few days will tell

[josie1234]

Garf - fingers crossed for you. Yes, you are right about Home, looking good for 43. I really hope your cycle sorts itself out and shows you what it is doing soon.

Regina - are we going to get a bump pic soon??

 

[Oasis717]

I agree Home you look amazing! Yes Fi she liked the decorations and we had a lovely party. I was a bit worried as I had to call the mw before it started as I passed a massive clot she said as long as it's only one it's ok but she will check me out tomorrow at my postnatal discharge app, it was scary as she said if I start to bleed heavily call an ambulance thankfully I didn't. Had a lovely party and Brooklyn slept right through it! Xxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi Becks - I do remember I passed a big clot after DS was born but can't remember how long after it was. Hopefully that will be the last of it. Glad you had a good party.

How is everyone else? I am so tired, was up at 5 this morning as was doing a shift in gym from 6.15 am. Need a day off for rest but no such luck.

 

[josie1234]

Would be nice to see more pics to put faces to names

 

[Oasis717]

Yes that was all thankfully Jo but mw did think I may have infection when she saw me today so I've got antibiotics just in case. More worryingly she thought I might have a prolapse and at the docs he wasn't sure, he said the back wall has come down a bit but it could just be from the trauma of the birth and as I'm so sore still with stitches I can't be examined properly til healed. He said not to worry and there were no signs if a serious prolapse so just have to wait. One stitch has got v sore and the mw did hurt me looking. It wasn't v nice xxxxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Nightmare, fingers crossed that it is all ok and no further proddings required. Hope you're ok. How is Brooklyn today?

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks xxYes it's not what you want only two weeks after with stitches I'm not so good with anything like that. Luckily the doctor just looked didn't touch. Brooklyns got a bit of colic so has been a bit off colour, mw suggested dr Brown bottles, expensive, but the best for wind so were going to try them. Another reason I wished I could of breastfeed ah well. Xxxxxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Looking but not touching is good lol. Bless him. Lewis had that, it was a nightmare but there's a lot of good stuff out there to help. We had the long bottles with the tube in it, is that the same thing? Hope it eases soon for him.
