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

Very bloated and peeing for england this afternoon! oooh just watching a hyp birth prog and wow how relaxed.. what a shame if we get that far i will be epidural'ing it!!

Wombat you've made my day, especially the bit about the drawer Even though I must obviously now upend this truckload of prawn cocktail on your head

I hereby award you the piss-stick trophy - but dachs will be taking it off you once she actually stops adding to the total...

My 12 is starting to look almost reasonable. Although technically it's 13 as I did one at 9 DPO and it was a bfn then got the first tiny weeny positive a couple of days later - hairy I too was convinced it was a chemical pregnancy for about the first week.

sleep yes - am sitting here with jeans undone. I have been bloated like a bloater since before I knew I was upduffed - I assumed it was normal PMT bloat but it just got worse. You wait til the belching starts.

digi I spent quite a number of hours of work time obsessively checking my boobs in the mirrors in the work loo during weeks 5-er, still doing it. One day I am going to wander out of the loos with my top still hoiked up, I'm sure of it.

You lot are mental; I love it

speechless!!!! But I can't stop laughing at all this poas action!

sleepy perhaps we need to crack open the sticks? Joke!

During my last mc I bought 15 Internet cheapies plus two cbd's. I used 2 IC's to see if the hcg had left my system. I think I've done 5 IC's and 1 FR (leftover from previous batch). And I'm only 4+1 today.
Waiting till next weekend to crack open the Evil cbd with conception indicator.

Can't imagine being satisfied with one test. I know it's irrational but I have so little in the way of symptoms (one vaguely achey boob this morning which has since stopped aching) that I have to keep checking somehow. I also have milk already - possibly because I keep pinching my nipples to check.

I think I have quite a busy week at work - which should hopefully keep me distracted.

PMSL @ wombat that's cheered me up :)

have only done one....how have I managed that? It was a very definate positive though.....am I missing something???

Anyone else suffering with bloating? Sure somebody was? My stomach is driving me nuts......can't stand having my jeans on. Think maybe I'm just suffering a bit after lots of holiday food, maybe.

Am grumpy and irritable today too - double whammy of steroids and hormones, I guess.Thinking too much too - keep realising that I've got weeks of waiting to feel safe - if I ever will!Didn't help hearing about Amanda Holden losing her baby either - its' awful.

DH was being a lazy git too, so that didn't help.

Sorry for being a whinge-bag ....may now go and pee on my spare stick..

LOL i did about 2 a day for a fortnight then started on the cbdigis! Dunno why, some kind of mental reassurance i guess!!!!

28 I hadn't opened the drawer for a couple of weeks and it actually smelt of pee

I did so many because I could not believe I was pregnant again so soon after my MMC and ERPC in November and was scared it was a chemical pregnancy.

oh I see! A line is a line... you're all bonkers and I love it Stop hiding wombat

mama I did so many because I have had 2 mcs and have PCOS and bi-cornuate uterus - difficult to conceive - been trying for a year. The first one I did was so faint I was convinced it was an evap line because they were only really cheap internet dipsticks. So did one later that day, still no darker. Next morning the same, squinting to see it, in total shock. Did a few more over the course of that day and over the next few days. I didn't want to buy a proper one until a week after I was due AF. So did about four a day until I caved in early and bought a proper one.

You have only missed quite literally throwing money down the toilet, MamaP - now spill, Wombat , the truth must out

Serious question... why are you all poas'ing so much?? Have I missed something???

c'mon wombat out with it

Spill wombat

after reading your posts I went and checked my pee-stick drawer and counted I think I ought to take that information with me to the grave

17??? I think you are the winner so far although dachs may catch you up very shortly

owl I did 17 test and the shame that came over me when I told my GP was immense! Dh said to me after "Don't you think you should have perhaps changed it to 5 or 6?!"

pmsl at owls pee stick collection, you and dachs both need therapy for poas ocd or perhaps I need therapy because I only did 2!!!!!

Hairy I spoke to my cousin yesterday who has been there and got the t-shirt, for pg after mc. I told her they saw bugger all on my scan and she was not shocked at all, what she was shocked about was that they even bothered, they barely found anything when they scanned her at 8 weeks. I think it causes us all more unnecessary panic. Glad you feel a bit better for a nice walk

pink love well I have an outbreak of thrush (apparently v common in pg because the acidity down there changes when you're diffed) so am alternating between cannestan and live yoghurt! Nice!

wombat and hk good luck with the scans tomorrow

Hi banana sorry for your loss this is one of the threads referred to above, the girls there are AMAZING, I have been there since my first mc and it's so supportive

Iin future I've decided there will be no more early scans. What is most worrying is that my nipples
were very sore yesterday but are not today.

Have been very wobbly today but feel better after a walk.am half thinking about having bloods repeated privately.

I've just got them out to check and there are actually 12. Anyone who wants to see the full crap line to marginally less crap line, I've stuck them on my profile page :)

Huzzah for the sore dachs .

However, don't think I'm gonna let you off that lightly. What did we all say about the evil CB digis?

Hungry all the time is definitely a symptom btw, as is knackered.

Womble v.glad it seems to be tailing off. Brown blood is definitely a good thing. What time is your scan on Monday? Will be crossing fingers furiously.

banana hello lovely :) Our door is always open and there is no bouncer guarding it - in fact, we have all these beanbags ready and waiting for all the ladies we're hoping will be joining us very soon but I feel I should warn you that we do witter on constantly about symptoms, scans, random bleeding and morning sickness (we were worried that we were taking over the mc-and-trying-again thread as a bunch of us got bfps around the same time).

Tis very lovely indeed that we're seeing folk from the recurrent buns thread too though - we need more beanbags ordering :)

digi big, big hurrah for the stick getting darker! I love it when that happens. In fact, I've still got all the sticks with the DPO written on them (there are about 15 of them I think).

Pink and lovemysleep - ew. Just, ew. Tis not dignified, this pregnancy lark, is it? Men have such an easy life.

Hi banana - nice to see you here too...

Have only been taking progesterone for a week, and haven't noticed any side effects as yet. As for effectiveness, I remember reading Lesley Regans views on it and I'm pretty sure that she thinks that it isn't that effective in stopping mc, maybe just delays it......but it does seem to be pretty widely prescribed as standard for most recurrent mc sufferers.

From all the research that I have done, it still does seem that some treatments for mc are still inconclusive, but they struggle to get definitive answers as pg women don't really want to be tested on for obvious reasons. They then can't do big, standardised trials....

That's what I've digested from the research that I've done - hope I've remembered it correctly, as my brain can be sieve-like.

By the way, Dr S should just test you for the ones you want - he told us that he wouldn't bother testing for some of the others, as we had already had them. He's good like that - considerate of the expense of private treatment, and keen to save you money.
