Oh goody, new thread! Thanks for the message, Blue. Lovely thread title!



Have just had a quick shufti at old thread. Mel, I hope you get more info soon and that it's nothing serious or ttc-inhibiting! I hate that feeling where you wish you asked questions but at the time you were so stunned that you can't think of anything.

Ciwi, step away from the doppler! At least for a few more weeks. You have made me decide that if I do buy one, I'm not doing it until I'm at least 12 16 weeks.

Cheese, your day sounds lovely - glad you enjoyed it.

Angel, FX for your friend! I think the fact that we haven't heard from Spilt since early this morning is a good sign, right?

Thanks for the new thread, the old one was telling me that no new messages could be posted! Happy birthday blue, I love cake :o

Hope everyone is ok today. I slept well last night after our trip yesterday. Got some really good photos too.

Really hoping to hear some news from split soon, hoping she's now busy with her new baby.

Hoping these next months fly by.

Thanks for the new thread blue, happy birthday and good luck with the ov testing!
too the monitor is packed away and will not use it again till after my next scan, was stupid to try again, just gave me something else to panic about. I started using it at 16 weeks last time and could find the heartbeat each time, even then it took a little bit of searching sometimes.
mel hope all is well at the docs, I am sure it will be x
Hi to everyone else, no real news from me today, just waiting for my next scan a week tommorrow

Sorry, Meant to say Happy Birthday Blue earlier.

Have been to docs and collected prescription but all they had at the moment was a note which had been taken from a phone call the hospital had made yesterday asking them to give me anti-biotics. I phoned the hospital and eventually found out that it's BV that I have. The nurse did tell me not to worry about this at all as it's fairly common and they want it cleared up so that it doesn't fester into anything more serious. The Doc at the hospital also asked her to advise me to have a normal period before trying again so that it helps with the dating (although not hugely important) and so that my blood levels are returned to normal before falling pregnant again. I guess that makes sense seeing as I would have lost quite a bit of blood with the procedure. I just wish that they had maybe given us this guidance prior to leaving the hospital. I think they were really worried about talking about trying again to us incase we were too emotional. I like having all the information!! Control freak alert!!! Anyway, I feel a bit happier xx

Happy birthday Blue
^Mel* i posted on the d thread could be BV. Bacterial vaginosis is very common just a difference in the ph level of your vagina. Some women get it monthly due to the hormonal changes via our monthly cycles, what we wash with, stress, different sperm etc... ( know this doesn t apply to
U!!!) they should have prescribed you a week of Metronidazole. It's very common doesn t cause any problems. I spend my days treating BV. Wash your genitals with Aqueous cream won t prevent BV but better than Femfresh or smellies!!! In fact just finished work after 11 hours of treating BV, candida, chlamydia, warts etc.,.
My friend still not had her baby!!! Go Spilt xxx
Hi all x

BV doesn't " fester" in to anything more serious!! It's an infection in it's own right the only factor to consider is that the research is ambiguous as to whiter untreated BV in the first trimester can contribute to miscarriages. However, I ve not read anything definate just a query. I always treat pg women for BV or at least offer them tx. X

Hello!

Mel, glad to hear that you're feeling happier. Smile At least you have the advice now, and you can make an informed decision.

Happy Birthday Blue! Hope learning the guitar goes well. I tried when I was about 15 and just never got the hang of it - used to keep dunting the guitar off the instructor's one and such...I say go pee on more ov sticks, btw.

Angel, how's your friend doing now? Any progress?

Green, I'm sure being bitchy is a sure sign of upduffedness! It must be, judging by me...Grin

Hi Razz, Cheese, Jane and Ciwi!

Have got the MW coming tomorrow for my booking appt, so have just finished hoovering the living room. Am about to go into warm-but-not-hot bath - bliss!

Still hoping for word from Spilt!

too I hope your right, I dont feel it though, I dont think I am, but maybe thats a good way to be, then I wont be that dissapointed when AF arrives.
At the moment Im counting symptoms I dont have that I had last time, no tender boobs, and Im not that hot and thats a about it. Lol
But I am bitchy and tired but maybe thats me all the time. Its CD22 so I know its early, and have to wait till CD 40 till Im going to test, so a long way off.

Hope everyone is well this morning.

Can't wait to here Spilts news.

angel glad your friend had her baby!

I've been extremely grumpy today, no patience with DD, very hungry all the time, but only want to eat certain things... very tired as well.
did another ov test which was negative, I guess I will be past ovulation then...
will have to wait now then... so frustrating :(

really need some time to myself, as I haven't had any me-time in the last 4 weeks... looking after DD this week and trying to work from home really isn't helping. going to be happy when the childminder works again next week! sorry for the rant!

Great news about your friend Angel

blue maybe it's your month?

Mel hope the anti-biotics sort you out. I would have thought you'd be fine to swi, I've had to take anti-b's in pregnancy numerous times so they must be ok. They only give certain ones though when you're pregnant and avoid some.

green hoping it's your month too. I really didn't think I was pregnant when I was so you never know.

Looking forward to hearing from split as well.

Too I love a nice bath :)

I'm soooo tired all the time and moody, mood swings are awful as well. Blood tests tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to at all, I'm quite phobic about them. Doesn't bode well for the sugar testing coming up soon! only 2 more weeks until my nuchal scan and the appointment with the diabetic nurse.

I'm hoping nothing goes wrong this time and everything is "normal". It's so nice (if you see what I mean) to have others to share this with that have been through the same. I wouldn't wish it on anyone but it's helpful to have people that know what it feels like. Does that make sense? I can't just assume everything will be ok once we're past 12 weeks, I won't be happy until this baby is alive and in my arms.

cheese I really hope so, but on the other hand try not to hope too much, I really don't know the length of my cycle yet. As I got pregnant straight after stopping my pill with Sterre. And with being away from DH don't have a clue whether I've missed my ovulation or not. Last week when I was away I had 2 days where I had a tiny bleed.

if I don't get pregnant this month and I will next month, I'll be due in June :( when Sterre was born...

DD just fell asleep on the sofa, will bring her to bed in a minute and then have some quiet time before DH returns from work.
