'Ello Bee lovely :) Hope you're holding up okay.

GOod luck to those who have scannage today - may they bring lovely good news and (temporary) calmness!

Sorry for typos - in bed and on phone. I think if you close one eye while reading my post it might make more sense.

Hi all - just ducking in to wave quickly - then will carry on pretending this isn't happening. pink I only peed on one stick two - too much of a chicken and scared to see paler line or something.
Good luck with scans tomorrow, hopefully you'll see all in right place etc.
Hi coconuts :-)
so far all fine with me although developing a nice polka-dot effect on tum from daily injections. Can't gain how that's going to work if this progresses and belly starts tightening. Have another appt with consultant this week and I suspect after last weeks scan they'll discharge me midwife care, so am trying to work how long I think I can last before booking a private scan.
Whoever was asking about implantation - I've never had one this is 5th pg.

lemonsherbet · 30/01/2011 21:21

Just wanted to say good luck mama and pink with the scans tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

PinkIsACheeseAddict · 30/01/2011 21:07

Thanks for all the good luck messages eeeek hope it's good news Confused

I have peed on just one stick Grin However, I guess I've got an advantage as have also had two blood tests for HCG so that's got to be worth a lot of sticks. Plus I'm too scared to POAS so maybe I shouldn't be so smug afterall......

I've been having lots of pains too, and back ache these last couple of days, am hoping it's a good sign. I bought "what to expect when you're expecting" the other day. It says "if you're exceptionally tuned into your body, you might feel some cramps or pulling" - er, yeah, or maybe if you're exceptionally mental and paranoid...... Anyway the book says it's all good and not a problem if you're not bleeding.

I had to run to the loos today when I was out, I was convinced I was bleeding Blush. Happily I wasn't but this is seriously stressful!!

PrettyVacant1 · 30/01/2011 20:50

No MamaP Thank fook!
They are making me even more menkul!
Just 2 more weeks or so.

I... erm peed on 6 sticks in total.
In my defence they were cheapy dippy things offa tinterweb.
and I do not still have them in a sample pot in the bathroom. Blush
I refuse to piss on anything that costs more than 99p I'm not crayzeey ya know! HmmGrinHmm

owlbooty · 30/01/2011 18:40

I did one pretty much every two days until 7 weeks. That was quite a lot of tests

Lovely to see so many people in here :) Good luck for all those having scans in the next few days :)

Mamapower · 30/01/2011 17:45

Hairy I got them too... glad I'm not the only one! When I asked the nurse about it her very unhelpful response was ''you're thinking too deeply about it'' clearly she either has never mc or never been pg!!!

Grin at cocos poas antics!!

Thanks preeeeetty I just had my pre 'I'm shitting it' scan melt down... but mum and dh have got me back on track. Don't think I'll sleep tonight! Have you got to take drugs for the duration of the pg?

hairyfairylights · 30/01/2011 17:33

Wow! I did my last one yesterday ... Hope not to do any more.

Latest symptoms VERY strong shooting pains bottom left of abdomen and some bottom right ... Am hoping it's expansion pangs.

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 30/01/2011 15:48

HFL I did 16 Blush

hairyfairylights · 30/01/2011 15:47

I counted hiw many tests I've done this time and it's eight Blush .... Only one was a cb digital and I'm not doing another.

Good luck with scans ladies.

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 30/01/2011 15:40

Thanks for being welcoming everyone.

PV I can't bear the thought of chocolate at the moment. DH bought me a mars bar yesterday. I ate it out of sheer politeness but I didn't remotely enjoy it! I can't seem to get enough of the lucozade sport stuff, not the fizzy type IYKWIM.

Had a really bad morning with tears and all, but feel much better this afternoon, looking at old videos of DD and dancing with her. Oh if only she knew!

PrettyVacant1 · 30/01/2011 15:39

Pink I'm sorry, totally missed that you were going in for a scan tomorrow,good luck xx
MamaP You too honey.
Oooooooo, how exciting!!

Mamapower · 30/01/2011 15:24

Pink good luck for tomorrow Smile I'm in for mine a couple of hours behind you so will check in here after I'm done too. Our freaky parallel lives continue Grin

PrettyVacant1 · 30/01/2011 14:45

Awww, fanks Hairy, I need chocolate, you got any chocolate?
Someone on the Aug fred said they'd gone off chocolate??? Shock
No such luck in this house.
Every Christmas Mr.G and I do a fair swap,the contents of his selection box for the Crunchie in mine.
It's a gradual process with not all parties realising the process.

Hello, can I play?
Dachs Good thinkin' dogwoman!
Ooo, I nreally hope I've said congras to you.....
I'm sorry if not Blush
whoop! Grin
My head is not with it at the moment, blardy 'roids are screwing with my sleep patterns and making me a leetle manic at times. Blush
I don't know what to do with myself Sad
One moment I feel all calm ,normal and serene talking myself into thinking it's all gonna be ok and the next I'm preparing myself for it going wrong again and even worse beating myself up because sometimes I don't feel anything

Next scan is Tue and I really hope that the bean is wriggling away.

Waves to everyone Smile
Eeeek, we be diffed! Grin ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts I've "known" these gals for a while so you can rest assured this is will be a good place to spend the first few months wibbling.

hairyfairylights · 30/01/2011 13:58

Hi coco Grin

lemonsherbet · 30/01/2011 13:33

I would like an early scan. Know it is a bit too early to be scanned now, but am counting down the days, would want it when a heart beat could be seen.

Not been offered any blood test.

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 30/01/2011 13:28

Waves to HFL I think you're stalking me Grin

hairyfairylights · 30/01/2011 13:18

Hi lemon welcome and congrats - we are two days apart!

I had strong symptoms last time (mmc) but not as
strong this time so I know what a freak out it is.

Hiw do you feel about having an early scan? Have you had your blood hcg tested?

lemonsherbet · 30/01/2011 13:02

Can I join to. The conception thread goes a little too fast for me if I am honest. Having a massive freak out. In my mmc had really strong pregnancy symptoms, this time nothing. Am also 5+4.

Also DH is not sure about asking for an early scan.

hairyfairylights · 30/01/2011 12:53

Morning all. This is the perfect thread for me I am five plus two today, erpc after mmc on 22 nov and suspected ectopic april~June 2010.

Have had one set of blood rests last week - good hcg and progesterone but no repeats, and have early scan on Friday fourth at exactly six weeks since lmp .

Am between feeling ok and completely freaking out!!

Had sore boobs from start last time but only just getting that this time, have slightly swollen glands in neck which apparently means immune system is suppresed to support pregnancy.

Wombat33 · 30/01/2011 12:47

Morning all. Just marking my place xxx
