Twin beans?
Who?
Eh.... Dachs

Got to get off train now....
I needs answers! Grin

PinkIsACheeseAddict · 31/01/2011 18:49

emoo not sure as too early and you risk not being able to see as much as you hoped, but you don't want to mental too long!! dacha I'm 6w+0 today but the dr made me promise I wouldn't freak if there's no heartbeat as he says a day either way makes a big difference.
mamap that is fantastic news-I think I ov'ed before you this cycle so I think everything stacks up. Are you relieved?
One of my colleagues knows and he's been freaking me out about how travelling on the train is dangerous and that I should get out of all the meeting I've got booked that involve a train journey..... I can't find anything about it on google so have texted dr-he is going to get so pissed off with my random texts.....
nix owly and any other further along people-how the hell are you managing a day's work? I am so tired I could pass out in the middle of the afternoon and am worried that being out the house travelling or in the office from 7:30 to 7:30 is dangerous for my micro bean. Any thoughts??

nickstermum · 31/01/2011 18:32

Potential twin beans..... :)

nickstermum · 31/01/2011 18:28

Dachs it's felt like it's taken a century to get here from conception. And now it's here it seems like it's flown! Fx everything Is fine with your twin beans :) and that my bean continues to grow :) xx

nickstermum · 31/01/2011 18:26

Blood taken today, results tomorrow. Wish I was 13 weeks nix!

hairy spots could be symptom, not sure about bo!!!

Emoo · 31/01/2011 17:29

Well done pink and mamap Grin

When do people reckon is the best time for a scan, in an ideal world? Am planning to see gp later this week and hopefully get referred to epau. Problem is, last period was not normal, lasted 3 weeks, so if they go by that date I might get scanned too early and then panic. Last time I mc'd at nearly 9 w after losing symptoms at 7ish. Was thinking of requesting scan at 7 weeks (using chart ov date, but in previous experience gps just ignore charts and go with period).

Sending love too all and hope everyone is keeping zen!

hairyfairylights · 31/01/2011 17:21

Hurray for pink and mamap :)

am all spotty and have BO. Are they symptoms? Confused

Wombat33 · 31/01/2011 16:34

Oh 13+1 already Nix!! Wow! I'm 8 weeks today. Currently sitting at my desk chowing down on salt and vinegar crips - have been craving vinegar like mad - could drink it fro the bottle!

nickstermum · 31/01/2011 16:03

OMG have just realised i am 13+1 today :)

Mamap YEY :) thats fab news, good news also they are re-scanning so frequently.

How are all you other newly diffed peeps?

yes... no chocolate for ages, but yes made up for it in other ways pink. Am hiding in an office at the min as i havent announced anything but am here in mat troosers and a top thats not very flattering, bloated after a huge lunch and peeps keep looking at me when i walk past!!! Im not saying anything though, i darent!

:)

Wombat33 · 31/01/2011 15:50

Whoop for Pink and Mamap good scans! xxx

Mamapower · 31/01/2011 15:23

just a quickie! They found the gestational sack in the right place! They are assuming that because my cycle is short and I ov late that although I'm 6+1 actually the bean is only approx at the 5 week stage, which could also account for the fact that I was getting negatives from poas for 3 days before getting the positive. Re-scan next Friday!

What you lack in choccie you make up for in iced buns eh nix?? Grin I've got the constant urge to eat junk food-constantly NEED a big mac....

PinkIsACheeseAddict · 31/01/2011 11:00

Hey emoo sounds like you subscribe to my general life philosophy of worrying constantly and even worrying that I'm not feeling worried (not that the last bit happens often)

My little bean measures a couple of mm and has a heartbeat!!! I can't stop smiling although I feel like I'm going to cry any minute! Dr reckons the heartbeat maybe started up yesterday! They've taken loads of bloods so hopefully they are looking good too.

Nice to see you nix sorry about backache-hopefully it's stuff stretching out.

Best of luck life twin mamap! Xx

nickstermum · 31/01/2011 10:42

Emoo · 31/01/2011 09:55

Helloooo!
Thanks for your congrats on the other fred.Grin I'm 4+3 today. Doesn't feel real yet, not helped by no symptoms to speak of yet.

Am planning to spend the next 10 weeks worrying about whether it will stick, then (if we get that far) another 10 weeks worrying about whether it's healthy, then another 10 weeks worrying about whether it will come early, then (if we get that far again) the rest of the time worrying about whether it will hurt. Then the next 20 years worrying about... oh, you get the picture!

MamaP and Pink - good luck with your scans today! x
