Charter's Anonymous: Volume 3, here's to better luck this time for us all!

Thanks. Just going to have a nice, festive weekend; christmas cake, tree, decorate house etc and put this out of my mind. Will try and convince myself it's just a normal period.

If it is a mc will I definately need to see someone medical? Am worried they might not even believe I'm pg again! x

Oh mouse All I would say is if your pregnancy test still looked dark then that is a good sign.

When I had my MC I did a test and the line had got fainter than it did when I first got the BFP. Also from what I've heard red blood is concerning, brown blood less so.

Hope it all is ok. xxx

Just had more. A big gloop this time. Doesn't look good. Am trying not to freak out and I know I'd be saying 'implantation' if it was any of you. It really couldn't be described as blood, definately brown fluid more than anything. Was going to tell DH tonight over dinner but will wait and see now.

Will be 6 weeks on Monday so if there's no more blood I'll try and get a scan booked in. I'd been home at lunchtime and took another test which is still v dark so am hoping all is not lost. Will take temp in the morn and maybe that'll give me a clue.

How quick would I get blood results back? I think being in denial about this has definately helped. Still have slightly sore boobs but haven't really had any symptoms to lose tbh.

Thanks for all your messages. xx

Know what you mean spilt big and fast moving threads are often like that, nice to see some others in the same boat though huh? Cripes so you have to wait a whole 10 weeks ish goodness x sounds like clutching at straws but is there anything alternative medicine kind of thing that you could look at? Prob not for that kind of infection maybe. How do you feel about that lovely?

terrys my norks are normally like fried eggs so i am looooving pregnancy boobs didnt get big until a day or two ago, starting to get sore now. re the sports bra! Every pregnancy is different. My first was totally diff to second, again this will be diff too i expect. Roll on sickness IF good to hear you are better, get those calories into you. Disposable Gloves for litter tray, or leave it for DH!!

Glad to hear more of the motorway network norks mines got the m6 on it.

mouse hope you are ok lovely xxx

I don't think I ever got big/sore breasts apart from when I missed a BF with DS. I do remember having ridiculously sensitive nipples though (like they could feel the cold air even through clothing).

I'm off to read my previous AN thread to see what was happening, although last time I didn't even know I was PG until I was 6 weeks but I remember feeling nauseas and having cramping straight away.

Terry's, they started feeling a bit sore immediately after OV, but that happens sometimes with me. They started getting really sore not long after my BFP at 4 weeks. In the 2 weeks since my BFP, they have gone up a size, are rock hard, the areola have expanded and puffed up, and have lovely blue veins - sounds attractive doesnt it!? I dread taking my bra off, and find it so uncomfortable in bed.

mouse to you and I am keeping my FX that it is just left over implantation blood. Keep us updated!

When did your boobies (love that word ) start hurting IfatFirst? Mine aren't doing anything atm. Although, I did have a dream last night that while writing on MN saying my breasts weren't hurting they suddenly turned rock hard!! Nope, not happened!

LadyG should I stop temping and cervix checking now? It feels like another part of my routine now.

battery and MrsA I hope you get +ve OPKs and lots of SWI-ing in this weekend!

again - soz about the lack of paragraphs!

wow! What a thread with all these BFPs popping up all over the place - a tentitive congrats to you Spilt, you mega-fertile person you! Mouse,try not to panic,as others have said, it sounds like old blood. Fingers crossed for you x I have now made it to 6 weeks :) and am starting to pull myself round a bit, jut in time for the real sickness to supposidly kick in. Appetite is starting to return, so no doubt I'll start piling on all of those lovely pounds I have lost. People at work have noticed that I've lost weight and are saying how good I look apart from they grey face and bags under my eyes that others have commented on! My boobies are horrendous at the mo, they are so-o-o sore and swollen, I'm considering wearing some sort of sports bra to bed, as I cant bare to not wear one (I'm usually only a 36b, so I feel sorry for all you ladies with big norks!). Have got a lovely night to myelf tonight, DH is out on his Xmas do, so a cup of decaf, a pack of choccie biccies and Live Corrie is in order , although he ha left me with a stinky cat litter tray which I'm frightened to clean out

It was a bit random at first, Nix. Up and down all over so stopped checking it and only checked it again today!

Any news, Mouse?

mouse :( not what you need to stay reassured is it! Agree with GG call GP and get to epu if you can. If its too early for a scan they should do a hcg test.

My norks have decided to be very full,and starting to hurt. Sorry TMI nips are enlarged and much paler. Has your cervix only just gone high GG? mine was so low yest thats why i thought it was not good. seems higher today tho,,, bizarrely.

((((((mouse)))))) fx crossed, am sure will be fine xxx

Mouse stay calm. It doesn't necessarily mean the worst. I had this with MiniG at 5 weeks, it was fine. If it is brown that means it's old blood, most likely implantation bleeding that has been hanging around for a bit.

Call your midwife (get number from GP if necessary) and ask them to refer you to the EPU. They should be able to do scans and bloods. Do you still have symptoms?

In meantime put your feet up and call in sick tomorrow, will help your peace of mind to rest.

Big hugs.

Brown mucus. Down toilet. On tissue. Bugger. Bugger. Bugger.

Wow! Ladies... You have been busy and very very lucky ! Congratulations to all those who are happily up the duff:

The uncertainties of the present always
give way to the enchanted possibilities of the future.
You are destined to be great mothers
Enjoy your pregnancies and remember to have fun!

Good luck to the ones still waiting for that elusive BFP, your time will come!

wow - all these positives - lets hope its a trend! getdown I am not pg either - although I hope to rectify that this weekend :) Must dash am at work ad need to leave early to get the cat to the vet again - more expense. xx

I had Nuchal scan last time, Nix so prob will again. Have to do it privately here though which is a pain. I'm not especially worried - it's just mad that the risk has doubled in what seems like a not very long time! When I had my nuchal last time they put my risk down to the same as a 16 year olds so there you go but every baby is different!

So far, so good today Terrys. The frequent weeing symptom has kicked in. Feel more manageably sick now my cold has eased up, could still snooze under my desk though and boobs are still up a couple of cup sizes. No sign of any bleeding and my cervix had gone too high to reach apart from the very tips of fingers and what is their feels really, really hard. So that's good, isn't it? Scan is week on Monday, still ages away.

How are you feeling? Sunk in yet? Have you told DH yet? Is he excited?

Hello all!

I didn't have AF for 30 months - do I win?!?!

I have had 4 and now hopefully no more for another 30 months!!

LadyG all going well today?

Spilt you fertile woman - I hope the docs get a handle on your treatment / PG soon.

MrsA and GetDown - we will not leave you!!

WOW! getdown thats a long time. I didnt have a period for 2 years including pg time, I then conceived 4 months after stopping BF which i did until DS was nearly 2.

spilt still in shock! but a fab shock! What can they do you know? Can they give you a shot that will protect the bean? If they can protect it against HIV surely there must be something they can do with Toxo especially given the risk. Oh i do hope so :)

lady in response to your Downs question, Why dont you think about having a nuchal scan at 12 weeks? some hosps offer that as standard locally to me, others you have to pay for £180 i think. At least then you knwo and you dont have to wait til your 20 week bloods. Also supposed to be more accurate datewise than a dating scan.
Ps i knwo friends who are 38 and have had healthy beans so dont fret too much

Lady my AF took 18 months to come back after DD! And I wasn't even b/feeding!

Thinking of you as you reach the 7 week mark.

I'm hoping some of your luck rubs off on me this month ladies! So is it just me and MrsA that actually aren't pregnant now??!

GG thinking of you lovely, and sending sticky bean thoughts right your way x

LadyG I hope today is uneventful for you and that the bean continues to make you sick and tired!!
