YRMOTB post me a link and I will pop in!! Am not doing very well with the detox today (although no alcohol for the last two nights is a big improvement on the Xmas-new year frenzy ) but def going to start slimming world/weight watchers over the next week. I did WW after having dd and lost my 2 excess stones in 12 weeks, it was brilliant.

daddysgirl I only had 30 days before first period but it does vary hugely. Mine was erpc rather than natural mc so don't know if that makes a difference...

mwlsen so sorry for your losses - that is a very tough year I hope you are coping ok.... x

No pain YRMOTB just occasional discomfort which feels 'normal'
Good luck with the detox, a day at a time seems a lot less daunting

Owl fx for you tomorrow, I hope you have a nice clear scan
Wombat good luck with CB test. I got BFN with Internet cheapie, then did CB Digital with same sample and it said 1-2 weeks
Hadrian glad you have a good Dr, and make sure you get lots if rest. I had trouble sitting at my desk and wish I'd had a few more days
Ochaye happy SWI :)
Dachs am so pleased about the follicles, I'm sending good egg vibes

Thanks for the support, I guess all I can do it wait. I've had no more red except that one wipe, and just had a bit of brown this morning At least it still seems possible from what you've all kindly said, and I know you'd tell the truth :)

Sorry, orange I meant to say that it all seems within the lines so far, try not to worry. Any further pain?

mwlsen Hello. You've had a terrible year. So sorry for both of your losses. Fx for 2011.

lovebeing I didn't get first period till 8 weeks after ERPC, but as mine wasn't natural MC I'm not too sure for the figures fot that. How are you doing?

daschs A massive woop for those follicles! that's really good news!

Now, who needs this wet jumbo kipper? Ah, hiding there you are! thwack Although we've all done pre-9 DPO testing here

My detox starts tomorrow! I am taking it one day at a time, rather than telling myself a month, for example, and tomorrows goals are simple.

1. eat 2 pieces of fruit and 3 Veg, minimum
2. Eat none of the xmas chocolate
3. drink no alcohol
4. do some exercise.

I will review my goals on a daily basis.
izz etc, I thought I might start a thread over in healthy for us, do you fancy it? chilled and supportive, rather than militant! anyone else in?

Can I join please? I had a miscarriage on New Year's Eve (well that's when I was discharged from hospital desperate to go so I could get drunk with my husband and friends in a rather surreal but fun night).
I had a stillbirth at 35 weeks in April so 2010 has been the worst year ever. We did conceive at the first try in November but then miscarried at 6-7 weeks. I have antiphospholipid syndrome so was taking aspirin and don't think that this miscarriage was connected to that.

Anyway am back on the baby making trail and feel rather desperate to conceive asap.

Thank you everyone for the varied fish slapping (golly that does sound rather obscene doesn't it?). I am suitably chastened and resolved to wait for another 2 whole days [practises determined and virtuous face]

as has already been said it sounds like good news orange that the have found the bean and it is in the right place. At such an early stage I get the impression that sizes are pretty much arbitrary. Fx for the blood tests xx

for some reason I thought your scan was today owl so apologies and good luck for tomorrow!

on the detox subject me and dp have decided to go veggie for a month. Crazy I know! Anyways I made a darn amazing nut roast for Sunday lunch yesterday that went down very well... If I may say so myself. I am also planning on stopping the temping next cycle as I agree that it does make me a bit mad and just stress me out even more.

orange I think (fx) that sounds good - bearing in mind your lmp date won't be accurate if you ov'd late...implantation on day 28/bfp on day 38 would indicate ov on day 21-25ish rather than the mythical "standard" day 14, so would actually fit a 5 week measurement now?

dachs forgot to say earlier but it all sounds very positive about the ivf this time...fx for lots of lovely eggs x

They are notoriously bad at measuring correctly for dates at such an early stage, Orange - I would see what the blood test says as that will give them more information to go on. Good news that there is something there in the right place though!

My turn tomorrow - argh.

Wombat I got faint crappy lines on ebay cheapies for 3 days then caved and bought a proper test - which gave me a proper line. Fx tis the same for you :)

Hadrian your GP sounds ace, glad you got some more time off.

Did someone request the wet kipper?

Actually I probably need a right good slapping with that too.

Ladies, if I started to mc on 28th nov, should I have had a period by now?

Xpost Orange that is fully within the figures - that is a late implantation and very late bfp so fx your hcg levels will rise beautifully in the next week. It is only micro mms between weeks at this point. The stats are with you sweetie no matter how much it doesnt feel like it at times. How horrible to have to wait!? Lots of feet up and TLC.

You need to write a book Dachs - bloody hell! I apologise unreservedly for Australia's shite medical system!!!! I am stepping away from all horses. . Did you break a mirror at some point - kill someone in a previous reincarnation - I am channelling some of *Pinkrabbit''s good karma and liberally dousing you in it - you will have a fantabulous year this year and all the crap of the last however many years will be like a bad dream!!! Glad the follicles are doing well - happy egg growing.

What a pain chocky I am never late either and it freaked me being late last month.

Pink come enlighten us with your positive plan!!

Good luck scanning ladies!

Hi everyone and thanks for the kind words. There was something there that measured 'about 5 weeks' when judging by LMP I'm 6+5. No heartbeat but if I really am 5 weeks then that's to be expected. I have had a blood test today and have one on Weds to monitor increase

I think I just feel numb at the moment, not good or bad news. I think i had implantation pains CD27/28, and got a BFP CD38. Any thoughts or theories are welcome

Sorry for selfish post :(

OMG Dachs! What a story! Next time, a holiday at home??? Great news about your treatment progress.

Izzy - I hope your sister sticks to her guns. I would expect them to give me very good reasons for removing the tube if I were her.

Pink - I'm so interested to hear about your positive thinking plan. I know a few people who could do with some of the same.

Hello mummy and choccy . Lovely to meet you.

hadrian - do you have to tell your work why you're off? I'm just interested because if I need some time out at any point, I wouldn't want them to know IYSWIM?

Good luck with your test wombat - I hope it's all in your head. Will be thinking of you.

Thinking of you too orange and hoping for good news.

Oooooooo hiding ... exciting times! I feel for you. I'm so impatient and excitable in the 2ww! I think I'll be needing lots of wet fish if and when I get to that stage again.

We started SWI today .

wombat lack of symptoms means nothing, I only ever got any in my 3rd pg and it was the first 2 that went smoothly. Fx you keep getting the stronger lines and af stays away x

hksb I had another scan today, looks like the follicles are growing slightly better than last time so fingers crossed there will be more eggs this time. The nurse today said that if they carry on like this, egg collection is likely to be next Monday or Tuesday. I have another scan on Wed morning so I'll know a bit more then, i hope!

orange if you're out there i hope everything went ok with your scan.

womby glad line is stronger. I have everything crossed for you.

Hadrian yum! I like dessert wine!

Wow. Aren't we busy bees!

good luck and fx for your scans orangeand owl. I hope we have good news!

I think I need a wet fish pronto. Temps shot up loads this morning and so of course I got way to excited and poas only to get a bfn which is hardly surprising as I'm only at 9dpo. So now I have promised myself that I will not test again until Thursday at the earliest under any circumstances.... Aarrgghh I can't wait....

Crikey Dachs .... sounds like you must be due some good luck to make up for all that. Where abouts are you in your IVF cycle now?

Glad you enjoyed your belated Christmas Hadrian, what a nice idea.

Pink do tell all about Plan Positivity, I want some of that!

Owl fingers x'd for your scan too.

well while you lot continue with your exciting and busy days I am about to put my feet up on the sofa and watch some very bad Asian t.v. with a de-toxifying appletiser instead of wine

orange good luck today lovely I'm sending positive vibes!

Same to you owl for yours today/tomorrow xxx

Izz I'm keeping everything crossed for your sis. I really hope they manage to find a resolution that does not involve removing the tube!

Welcome back mummy and choccy. And pink love the new name!

hadrian that dinner sounds fab! I love pudding wine!

dachs please stick to uk hols in future! What a nightmare story!

My temps dropped this morning for the second day, though not below the coverline. Af due today so we shall see.. Boobs totally deflated but line on test stick maybe possibly a bit stronger this morning...i'm going to do a cb digital when I get home if af hasn't arrived and see what that says..

Choc welcome back too!! Safe trip, sorry she got you and messed you around over Xmas x

Blimey dachs that is one hell of a story

Good luck to all scanning ladies today...everything crossed for you.

Feeling a bit bleary today as DH and I made up for lost Christmas last night with lovely meal in fab country hotel. Choc fondant and dessert wine to finish...can't be doing with January health kicks this year.

Supposed to go back to evil old work tomorrow but my very sweet GP has signed me off for two weeks so think I'll spend a couple more days with my head in the sand :)

Orange thinking of you and hoping for the best! Am there in spirit holding your hand x

Dachs !!! Omg hope you considered legal action against the hospital :( note to Ar... Don't have an accident!! Wow what a story :( stay in the uk!!!

Owls are you tomorrow??

orange best of luck hun. You too owly today's the say, right? dachs bloody hell you poor thing!!! I think you deserve to try for another super nice holiday though, maybe third time lucky????? izz really sorry to hear about your sis, the poor lady :( fsoinds like she got a good surgeon tho so hopefully she's on the track to get stuff sorted.
