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

Pink, digi, owl - thanks for your kind words, and it's helpful to read of others who had red blood and were still okay - thanks also orange. Yay for nausea digi

Mummya - glad to hear hCG rising

Teacake - you are not at all stupid to hope! I so so hope that you are right, and am keeping everything crossed for you. (((hugs)))

I had a very rough night last night (emotionally) - even slept on an extra towel in case I bled in the night. Yesterday evening was awful in the bathroom - I went for a wee, DD came in and was "desperate" so went straight on the loo after me before I'd flushed it - she then freaked out because she thought she had weed blood, bless her. Took a bit of explaining that it was from mummy and sometimes ladies get a bit of blood leaking from the baby hole, but it doesn't hurt and isn't anything to worry about. All while I was trying not to cry.

This morning, however, it's back to brown blood. And - da daaaah - I threw up! (I have taken careful note of Ladybee sagely warning that symptoms are largely irrelevant, but it certainly made me feel a bit better). In fact... here's my week in percentages... of how likely I think this one is to work:
Tuesday - having seen heartbeat - 80%
Wednesday - brown goo - 50%
Thursday - less brown goo - 60%
Friday - red blood and cramps -

Sorry again no time to catch up as in car on way to brum shopping with bad signal, but Tunnocks I did have cramping with bleeding, which at one point thought was start of MC even rang DH at work to come home. It came and went and did not seem to directly relate to bleeding or at least the heavy bleeding. Bleeding-wise I passed small clots, heavy red blood and 2 clots the size of my palm. I really really hope you have good news, I know what you mean about hoping, it's so hard not to. You are so brave waiting until Thursday xx

Tunnocks am thinking of you and keeping everything crossed!

Owl not worried about jinxing, just don't fancy it at the mo. Perhaps it was all the SWI around OV morning noon and night that has knackered me out and not being PG!

Nipples are like red hot pokers to touch and once released are like coat pegs. Gonna need some padding when working behind the bar!

digi my folks live down near Ottery St Mary - I'd highly recommend Sidmouth or Budleigh Salterton if you fancy a nice relaxed break, they're full of old codgers but the food is fab and the beaches are lovely (albeit pebbley).

Moo Fingers crossed the bleeding tails off - there's been a few in here who have had fairly big bleeds and it's been okay so I hope that's all it is. x

MummyA good news on the hcg results!

teacake your poor Mum - I think it's so hard for them to see us going through this, it can be really difficult to know what to say for the best even when they desperately want to be helpful.

Onions I think I was too terrified to consider shagging for quite a while after the bfp - then I decided it fell into the 'you cannot jinx this' category but that was a good few weeks down the line.

Morning all just lurking & saw that owl had bought some fudge & cream teas so am scoffing them for breakfast in bed, nom nom nom
Slightly that have no MS and could quite easily nom the lot!
On a totally different note & this may be a daft question but has anyone else lost their sex drive?! Seems that mine up & left as soon as the implantation bleed arrived!

Putting the kettle on for anyone who fancies one & hugs for all today. Think we could all do with some ((()))

velvet how's that wretched BIL? Capital punishment should be brought back for these type of offences!

So glad MummyA your hcg levels were good.

tunnock so sorry sweetie. I had a 4+6 cp in December. It is so horribly common which doesn't make it any easier but also means it isn't necessarily something wrong intrinsically but rather you may just be riding on the wrong side of the stats at the moment

LadyB big hugs!

Am in a state of denial over here. Can't get myself to the GP. Am going to wait until over the 6 week mark ....

Thank you so much for the reassurance all, am trying to chill. Was absolutely vile to OH last night which I can try and blame on being scared/overwhelmed, but I suspect I was just being a b*tch.

Good luck to anyone with a scan today, and I hope you all have a lovely, non-eventful weekend!

sorry only time for a quick one, all good with my HCG results

orange I think 11 days out from lmp with 35 day cycles is absolutely fine. I had 40 day cycles so I was charting my temps to see exactly when I ovulated. If I count my ovulation day as 2 weeks (which is what they do for lmp, assume you ovulate on day 14) then I should be 7 weeks tomorrow. If I was only measuring 6 weeks I would be worried. But being out by 2 days is just about ok from what I've read about discrepancies in early scans.
My friend had ms throughout her pregnancy but she got hit quite hard with it from week 6. Yours started a bit later didn't it?

emoo I had some brown bleeding that turned red in my pg with ds. He's 2.6 and tucked up in bed now. Hope it's nothing, but I know how worrying it all is.

pink glad your scan was fine too.

teacake that's so sad to hear what your mum went through and very sweet of her to call you back. I also have acupuncture. It helped regulate my cycles and it's keeping me relatively calm throughout these worrying weeks.

owl we've got two weeks in Devon booked in may - whereabouts did you go? Can't wait to scoff some cream tea.

velvet sorry but all that chocolate nicking is grounds for eviction. Make dh have a word (it's his brother right?) and make sure chocolate is replaced and in a secure place just for you.

mummya hope hcg result was up today.

Had a nap earlier, hence late posting. Also got the tiniest wave of nausea when dh was prepping dinner - couldn't eat the crumpet he toasted for me, nor did I fancy the curry my mum made earlier - could only eat pasta with a plain sauce. Hoping not my imagination and is beginning of some more solid symptoms.

Just a quickie - tunnocks I am so so sorry to read your news and am hoping and praying that you are wrong . I am also so about the way you are being treated by your gp, please push for more help, you really shouldn't have to suffer this alone. Thinking of you xxx

And of course a huge for those of you with good scans today - digi my edd changed by almost a week between scans at one point, it was fine x

emoo really really hope things are ok for you this weekend.

orange don't stress-I made my mum puke all day, every day, all the way through . I got all my nutrients from rice krispies-only thing she could keep down!!

teacake feel free to pop in whenever you need some friendly ears-we all understand what you're going through. Xxx

Digi I measured 11 days under based on LMP, but I do have 35 day cycles. They weren't bothered in the slightest, said up to 2 weeks either way is fine.

Now I'm a bit worried they said anything over a week is a problem. Plus, I still have MS at 12+5. is that a bad thing I'm not used to the hormones then?! Aaagghh too much to take in so late! There was a woman on my course that was sick right through both pg's including labour

Will be back for proper catchup tomorrow

dachs wombat digi and pink so glad you've all had good scans today or yesterday. Dachs, your story in particular gives me hope, as you seem to have had brown goo and red blood too. Unfortunately my brown goo turned red today. I know it's not over until the fat lady sings, but I think I can hear her warming up backstage . Have an appointment Monday (if I make it until then). I am 8 weeks today.

teacake so so sorry you seem to be going through this again. Absolutely heartbreaking. I sympathise with you wanting to avoid hospitals just now. A chat with your gp will be sufficient to get this recorded in your notes in case you need future referral.

ladybee hope you are doing ok - sounds like you have had a busy and stressful day.

Hello to everyone else.

Hello all,

I'm reading and posting so this is going to be in a weird order...

owly nice to have you back, thanks for the yummy scones on nom nom. Hope you had a good time!

daisy I'm 9 and a half weeks today and when the dr asked me how I was at my scan today I told him I'm scared because my symptoms have eased right off and I have patches of feeling actually normal at the moment. He said it's a GOOD thing and that at this sort of stage onwards your body is getting used to the hormones etc. etc. etc. And this seems to tie up with wombie's experience so hopefully it's all good and nothing sinister.

tunnocks ((hugs)) sorry you're having to go through all this again :( I don't know how you feel about this sort of thing, but I'd read that reflexology/acupuncture type stuff can help things along - maybe worth a try? I am still staggered at the neglectful way that the GP surgery is treating you - I hope they've fitted you in for an appointment. Sorry about your mum's comment too - someone else said it but I agree that if she's never experienced MC she won't realised that you'll have already bonded with your little bean. I really hope you make it to centre parks in a couple of weeks.

Waves to TTT hope you're doing ok!

Hugs for you lady too, I hope you're doing ok and your little DS is giving you lots of lovely hugs. Good work getting the ERPC done privately.

mummya how did the bloods go today? Fingers crossed for great news! You are a braver lady than me with continuing with your temperature taking!!!! I don't think I could take the stress every morning!

digi the results of the scan sound fab! I agree with the others - I've had one that was +/- 4 days the the Dr was completely chilled out about it, I think it's very approximate at this stage so being as close as 2 days is v. good!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend nice ladies!!! xxxx

Thank you for the reassurance Owl and Wombat, I'm glad starting to feel better is normal and I'll try to appreciate it!

Was feeling hacked off with myself so have just taken it out on OH, swearing at him about the state of his dead mother's kitchen cupboards .

Custard cake may be delayed as I'm still reeling from Owl's whack - blimey missus, you've got some biceps!

Ooh yummy, I'll have a bit of custard cake!

Daisy Owl is right, I'm also feeling better (have been for the last two weeks and there was definately a baby in there when they checked this morning!), as is a RL friend who's at exactly the same stage. I also went on holiday at NY with a friend who was 10 weeks at the time and she was just starting to feel normal again then too. Hope that helps!

Clotted cream is full of calcium and therefore positively encouraged, as is custard cake

SPANG!

Trust me, thinking they'll find nothing there at the 12 week scan seems to be perfectly normal behaviour, mental though it is, I certainly did it. I think most of the people on the Grads thread would admit to it too :) You've got to remember though, the placenta takes over round about now so symptoms do tend to go. I remember around 11 weeks I was able to drink cups of tea again - I didn't know whether to be delighted or terrified.

Owl, whilst you're waiting for the CB digi pee-ers, could you possibly lob that haddock in my direction?

I have no idea why, but I've become convinced I'm having a MMC.... All my tiredness and sickness symptoms have vanished, and my feel far less lumpy

I've got my (supposedly) 12 week scan on Weds and I'm convinced they're going to tell me there's nothing there.

Sorry for all the me me me comments, am about to start making a custard cake if anyone wants a slice?

Ooooooooh cream tea! Is clotted cream permitted...??

Welcome back Owl

Hello lovelies, I have returned from the wilds of Devon - where to begin? A lot's happened in here in the last few days.

Bee - I'm so very sorry and hope that you and Mr Bee are as okay as you can be, and getting lots of cuddles with gorgeous MiniBee. It is utter, utter shit that you are going through this again and I wish I could give you a massive hug. :(

Tunnocks Again; I am gutted for you and am really hoping that the next bean is the stickiest sticky bean in the history of stickiness - it WILL happen. And please, please, let me punch everyone at your stupid ignorant GP surgery because they truly deserve it. Do not feel at all bad if you want to go to A&E. That is exactly what it's there for.

Digi and Wombat So pleased the scans went well - I remember sitting outside the Mat unit crying before the 12 week one so completely understand how awful it is waiting. One more milestone ticked off; on to the next one.

Velvet he nicked your chocolate?? That is a hanging offence. Chuck his stuff out on the lawn and change the locks!!

Oh - and whoever said that nobody should feel bad about posting bad news in here - absolutely spot on. This is exactly what this thread is for - good news AND bad news. Oh, and the odd haddock in the chops.

Now who was it who was peeing on CB digis?
