Oh Can't what a double whammy of a week for you. You'll get through this though hun, I'll be thinking of you (((big hugs)))
p.s with the luck i've been having recently (one thing after another) I don't think I should be the new thread starter either...

Lins I hope you get what you need from the councelling this week, no doubt it will be draining and emotional for you but worthwhile I hope.

Bezzy and Bee still quiet, Justa resting hopefully, hope everything is ticking along for you all...

Hi to everyone else x

Thankyou girls! I think i will sit it out a bit longer and see how things pan out - i'm convinced i'm not pg as i don't think i've even ovulated yet hmph. I can't do a test as i'm a chicken and like you Can't i'm the type who would test to confirm things not dispell them - anyway thanks again for listening and have a lovely night xxx

Katie, could you do the test and hand it to your DP if you think you might be pregnant again? It is probably worth finding out so you eat/drink the right thing, etc, but if you can't face it, I would just eat/drink/act like you are pregnant just in case, and wait and see. It's so tough, isnt it? I do know how it feels.

Although, having said that, I have never done a negative test. That is less exciting than it sounds - I just tend to wait ages to do a test.

Thinking of you anyway, and thanks for your kindness.

Ach, katie, wish we could all come and sit outside your bathroom door ready to hug you! Sounds from what other people say as if you are quite safe to wait till 8 weeks if that is what would make you feel better. Big hugs.

I had thought of doing one at home Justa but I'm too scared to do one on my own too - silly really but i just can't face it. I have heard other people say up to 8 weeks is normal too(just on the leaflet they gave me at the hospital said see your GP after 6) so i guess i will just sit tight till then!

I hope you are ok Can't, sounds like you will be having a tough run of it - i will be conjuring up all sorts of nice thoughts to help get you through xxx

Hi all - briefly from me as am off to get DD to bed - but Katie: my consultant said the norm was 4-8 weeks and to see a GP after 8 weeks. Having said that, I don't see any harm in seeing one now if you're worried.

Mine came back almost bang on time the first time, but was anovulatory and I bled through the entire next cycle. The second time it took six weeks to return. I think Bee's took a couple of months? Can't remember.

Thinking of you anyway.

Can people think of me this week? Anniversary of termination 1 is looming, and due date of Stella (plus anniversary of nuchal scan in which first baby's problems were detected) is tomorrow. Double whammy.

Oh and we soon need a new thread, but I started this one and am reluctant to start another as this hasn't been so lucky...

Ooh, katie, I have to say I have no idea.
Can you do a pg test at home and get it out of the way, so to speak, before the doctors' surgery? I know exactly what you mean about dreading those negative lines.

Morning ladies,
I hope you had nice weekends! I hope this week is full of brighter days for everyone having a hard time of it at the mo. Hugs to you all.
I am in a mini panic - still no period 6 weeks after my surgical TX. Do you think i should go to the doctor about it? I'm probably being a tad irrational but it's freaking me out! I also think if i do they will make me take a pregnancy test and i just can't bear to see a negative at the moment (i guess in theory there is that possibility but i just know in my heart thats not the case)

Justa, Just caught up with the previous page. Hope things going ok for you and mini-justa behaving himself and staying in. There seems to be no escape from the worry does there. Take it easy honey. love Lins xxx

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
