Freak out room for those newly updiffed after MC to hold hands and support each other...

x-post. Sorry hairy for further worries you're having. Stress and anxiety can also cause dizziness and lightheadedness (fight or flight mode). As hard as it is, try breathing more deeply and slowing down your heart rate and stilling your mind as much as you can and see if that helps. I know easier said than done, but you are desperately worried and that will provoke physical feelings which will make you worry more etc - vicious circle. x

Hairy if it's any comfort I've been feeling dizzier and fainter week on week and at the last check last week hormones were still going up. Today I feel like shite-can't even see properly, feel like vision is going too......

Gosh, this thread moves fast - I can't keep up.

Great news hkb and very good luck for today wombat. I have a private scan booked for tomorrow which I am doing my very best to not think about.

On the topic of piss : I take a wee sample with me, in a clean pot with a tight lid, in a zip-lock bag, which I quickly decant in the loos at the clinic when given the stupid minature sample pot. Works for me.

I am beginning to panic at my absence of typical pg symptoms at 7+4 weeks . Everyone here seems to be very busy puking, farting, belching and bloating.

hairy how are you feeling today?

Ladies, I had a freak acident this weekend. Was walking along a narrow path through woods with a 100ft drop to the side down to a stream, when someones unsupervised dog leapt off a rise and jumped at me at shoulder height, sending me tumbling down the side of the hill. Fortunately I stopped tumbling after only a few feet because I went into branches from a tree that had been felled; I only have a scratch on my face, bump on my head and very very sore shoulders and back (I think I must have landed first on my shoulders). Do you think this could cause me problems with the PG? I've had no pains or bleeding. But I think I went into shock (suddenly vomity and shakey and crying like an idiot) because as I was tumbling I thought there was no way I was going to emerge without broken bones. I don't know if a fright that big can do damage? Still feel a bit freaked, actually.

Ok, so it's more dizziness and fainting than nausea :(

drop in hormones could cause dizziness and fainting (did with me!) but not nausea... be reassured by the nausea
its a good sign x The sicker you feel the better :) (meant of course in a nice way!!)

A very quick WWYD fron work:

This morning I've felt really fecking nauseous and almost fainted during a meeting.

I don't know whether or not to book private HCG tests, because I can't work out whether I could be feeling like this due to a drop in hormones or a rise in hormones.

I alsoo don't know whether I want to know if there's a drop.

All I know is I don't want to lie in that scanning room and be told there's nothing there on friday :(

Help!

Ok, time for a proper catch-up after a manic weekend... relatives visiting!

Far too much piss talk this weekend I think! Laughing my socks off at Pink and Owl failing to aim properly in to the pot, and practically falling off chair at wombie's smelly wee drawer!

Digi - know what you mean about wanting to be sedated! If it helps, my obsessively aligned sellotaped cheapie peestick collection has gone from homeopathic at 4w2d to vaguely convincing at 5w3d, and I'm glad yours is starting to look noticeably darker too.

Dachs - that's great you've started to get sore - wondering if I'm starting to get vague nausea now, but could easily be wishing myself into that. There is absolutely nothing concrete I can really convince myself with. Lemon thanks for the reassurance on no symptoms at 6 weeks.

Nix - yum lemon squash. And Rose's lime cordial, nice and sour. Yuk to the mousie though.

Ladybee - of course you're terrified sweetheart - but I think quease replaced by vomit counts as a bloody good symptom.

Orange - very interesting about your scans, and reassuring for the rest of us. Makes you wonder if there's still an awful lot they don't understand about early pregnancy and its variability. A bit like it saying in the Drs textbooks that we all ovulated on D14 and have a 14-day LP, looks like the beans don't read the textbooks either.

Hairy - hope you're doing okay today.

Love - nice to meet you - congrats on your BFP, and sorry about the long journey you've had to get to this point. I hope the treatments do the trick for you and make it stick. My DD is 7, and I've been trying not to tell her, have managed so far, but she's desperate for a sister (not a brother, obviously!) and keeps asking me about it... aaarghhgghghgh!

MamaP - your diet could be mine!! Love pickled onion monster munch. And can't even blame pregnancy for that.

Wombie - good luck for your scan today.

HK - hooraaahh for heartbeat! Lovely reassuring news for you.

Waves to coconuts, tigger, banana, Mouse and all the others lurking!

Oh well done owl (for the reminder!) good luck wombat am sure it will all go fine xx

HKB whoop whoop! Fabulous news on the tiny bean :) :)

Good luck Wombat :)

:) can never use too many smilies :) :) :)

i thought the sickness was supposed to bugger off at 12 weeks?!?! Not that i mind.. i keep dreaming about MMC so its a touch reassuring :)

dachs dont understand the sad face for having one in there....? One is better than none no?!

Good stuff HK in fact awesome news xx

Pink, ive had a bad stomach since day 1 hope its good news! Had raging (TMI runs yesterday and thought it was all over.... was like that before my MC started... :( but still ok.

Was feeling flutterings last wk, gone now. Hoping it was the farts and nothing untowards has happened.

Amanda holdens devastating news has put more fear of god up me...!

On a mortifying funny note, DS handed me a dead mouse yesterday... that had been after we had cleared up shredded bird feathers and bird crap covering the whole house, kitchen lounge, kitchen sides.. and rescued hte hopping starling from behind the kitchen blinds... we now have 7kilocat for sale free!! Snuggly big gray russian blue, love monster with a penchant for honing his extremely accurate hunting skills ...fab with kids

Yay well done HK!!! fab news!!

orange hope the drive goes ok sounds grim! I've got some sickbags in my handbag-find having them somehow comforting on my train journeys although to be honest if I start heaving on the train I will probably be lynched...

Ooh to the person with farting problems have you got an upset stomach too? Dr says that is a Good Sign.....

Phew, baby ( or tiny blob) with heartbeat, right size for dates

Good luck to you today Wombat.

wombie and HK all the best for today.

PMSL at the pee sticks, especially the drawer that smells of wee I take it DP hasn't found said drawer!!?! I think there should also be a trophy for restraint awarded to mamap and love!! I only peed on one which on the face of it looks good but with regular scans and blood tests its not as restrained as it seems..... Have another scan tomorrow, am bringing DH along this time as marginally more confident there'll be something to see. Oh I hope so soo soooo much. Am bricking it.....

love I am the one with bloating-I bought topshop maternity leggings yesterday and I never want to take them off-they are looooverly!!! I almost had a meltdown in the maternity section of H&M though-was surrounded by massively pregnant women and I swear they were staring at my non-existent bump and I felt like a total fraud. Still, working on keeping the faith I'll be one of the big bumpos in a few months.

Fruit smoothies help a lot with soothing acid/pukey feeling but be warned-UNPLEASANT to bring back up.....

just popping over to wish wombat and hk good luck for today. I'll be thinking of you x

Good luck HK!! Mine's not until 4.30 this afternoon and I've got a training course to attend and a heap of work to get done around it too. On the bright side maybe it'll keep my mind occupied...

For all the peeps worrying about fluctating boob and nausea symptoms, mine have fluctuated massively all the yay through and some of the least symptomatic times have given me my most encouragng results - blood tests and first scan. Yesterday and this morning I feel sicky, so we'll see what today's scan brings...

aaaargh now been waiting 45 minutes for scan, I am going to be a nervous wreck by the time I get in there!

I must be going mad. I swear I posted last night,where is it?
Anyway just wanted to wish wombat and hk all the best for scans today.
Also wishing I had more confidence in my body, just can't stop feeling doom that nausea is easing/different.

I did post! I asked about dinners! Damn you MN flakey iPhone connection.

Wombat thinking of you today, good sign it's brown too
HkBaby thinking of you too
Hairy I think you should do whatever will make you feel better, if that's more blood tests do it. So sorry it's such a horrible uncertain time. Boob symptoms can come and go I believe
banana welcome, I don't know anything medically to help/advise , but maybe this tea and biscuit would help?
Digi good news about hpts
Dachs hurrah for sore !! Yep tired and hungry are defo symptoms :) how many CBDigis do you have left?!
Sleep yep bloating in abundance, though my first sign was belching - and instant boob growth

at Wombats pee sticks!! I did 3, I feel quite inadequate now. Actually, 4 including the internet cheapie that was -ve with the same wee that gave CBDigi a +ve

My nausea actually got worse over the weekend, I think it might be acid build up or indigestion causing the additional puking. I've got a 6.30 pickup for a 3 hour drive to a meeting and am dreading it. If bean is ok and still growing it'll have been worth it

Ha ha ha , you lot make me seem so, well, ... Normal !!! I am up to about 8 so far, all Internet cheapies. I must embarrassingly admit that I have obsessively sellotaped them in order on a piece of card so that I can obsess about whether they are getting darker or not. I'm proudly planning to cut down to maybe 2 a week until I see some ultrasound evidence that this is real! Going to see gp on tues so will see what I can get scanwise at that point.

owlbooty it's not the belching that's the problem - have already banished myself to the spare bedroom, where I fear my fetid arse is going to cause the paint to peel off the walls.....

Ah, boob checking - swear mine are looking more veiny already. God, I got MASSIVE norks when I was pg with dd...and as I am 2 cup sizes bigger now, Lord knows where I'm gonna end up.....not that I care, as long as I get this bloody baby!

am still obsessing that I've got twins in there...

Jeez, the pregnancy may be a one way ticket to the loony bin
