Woohoo wombat that's brilliant news! Huzzah!

Wombat33 · 07/02/2011 20:15

Talking about mad dreams did I share my recurring one about the monkeys trying to eat the giant stick insects on the cafe wall... Hmm Grin

Choccie I'm 7+1 with no/minimal symptoms other than feeling a bit faint on the tube this morning. When I sat on the floor someone did offer me a seat but I think I'll try the other end of the train tomorrow as that's generally emptier.

Also freakily I fell down the stairs on Friday (pitch black and ds' shoes left in the middle) which resulted in a painful shoulder but otherwise ok. I figure the beans are pretty well cushioned at the moment and anyway it's not like there's anything I can do. Are we twins?

Dachs the twin thing is just making me worry more about whether both will survive and if they'll be premature or not. But it's still pretty amazing Grin

forgot to say I do tapping too! My counsellor calls it Emotional Freedom Technique and it's brilliant.....really chills me out

lovemysleep · 07/02/2011 20:02

HK fab news about the scan - am very happy for you Smile

Dachs scan on the 28th Feb - will be almost 8 weeks by then. Think I could get an earlier on at thw local EPAU, but am worried it will be more stressful than waiting a bit longer....I may crack though!

choc hope you are feeling ok after your fall

hello barbie

fab news wombat!!!

Can someone please explain the dating thing you are doing> Do you mean weeks and days? Am presuming it's that......So, am 4+5 then...(this is why I think I'm having bloody twins, as this feels like lots more symptoms so early on, not like DD...could be that I'm just an old duffer now Wink)

Felt sick most of the day too, and hot! Also, my vision at night has been driving me mad too.....keep thinking it's the steroids, then log on here, and realise others are haivng the same as me.....

Hello to everyone I didn't mention - there's so much to get through...

owlbooty · 07/02/2011 19:59

HOORAH! Ace news Wombat :) :)

PinkFondantFancy · 07/02/2011 19:50

digi I'm on progesterone-they checked my levels just after my BFP and they just skimming the minimum level to be normal, although they said that if I'd been on ivf they would have insisted on higher levels so recommended I had it.

DachshundsWantPuppies · 07/02/2011 19:33

Then I've got another one at 7+4, which is on 22nd

DachshundsWantPuppies · 07/02/2011 19:32

and yes - v restrained Wink

(would this be a bad time to admit I've done two today?)

DachshundsWantPuppies · 07/02/2011 19:30

dig I'm on progesterone - I think my clinic just prescribes it for everyone undergoing treatment, so not much help there I'm afraid! I've actually had more spotting with this pg on progesterone than I did with the natural pg without it, but that one died and I'm hoping this one won't!

OP posts:
digitalgirl · 07/02/2011 19:28

Yay for good scans today ladies!

I have one next Monday but will only be 5+2, so just hoping they see something. Wondering whether to ask for progesterone, as they mentioned at my last rmc appointment that it would be available to me. Can any of you ladies on progesterone tell me why you were prescribed it? Also, do you think it's helped keep your lining nice and thick/prevented spotting?

Have been a little bit more achy/crampy today - which of course makes me wonder if they're the right sort of cramps Hmm. Think I'll do another test tomorrow (didn't this morning, aren't I a model of restraint).

Wombat33 · 07/02/2011 19:24

Dachs when's your's coming up? Good luck to everyone else too! Sorry I've lost track a bit xxx

Great to see your fantastic news Wombat Grin Well chuffed for you.

And thanks for the tips on symptoms - my nipples were very sore Saturday, then not very sore yesterday or today Confused

Wombat33 · 07/02/2011 18:43

Hello all! Sorry to keep you waiting. It.s good news! Wombatbean is still there and wriggling! Grin They couldn't find any cause for the bleeding but said it was likely old implantation blood coming out when I would otherwise have had a period. I'm sooooo relieved!

Am on the train and no way of making notes so can't do proper catch up but thank you so much for all your support!

Welcome barbie!

good luck for upcoming scans pink, choccie and hairy!

bee and anyone else worried about symptoms, I'm still experiencing next to nothing and very variable and it doesn't seem to be a bad sign. I'm now 9+2 and have only been sick twice, don't even feel nauseous every day. Not really tired or faint. Boobs are a lot less sore than they usually get before my period and not noticeably bigger (just v occasionally the nipples in totally white Hmm). Please don't lose hope! Xxx

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 07/02/2011 18:38

pink It's funny you should mention breathlessness. A couple of days ago I was getting really out of breath even when I did the simplest of tasks and I found it really hard to breath when dropping off to sleep last night. and I am also quite hot all the time. Glad to see I have plenty of symptoms. I freak out if they go away.

Hoping wombat comes back soon :)
