New bus boarding for April 2012

same here merconium. 3 days late, bfn yest but then spent all evening trying not to barf Dh reckons I must anemic because I've been so wiped too , so I'll give it another few days then off to the gp :(

af 5 days late, bfn. pfft. Think it must have been anovulatory one. Just want it to hurry up now so can start next cycle!

AF 2 days late, still cramping, still bfn >(

Thanks BFA, I did a bit of reading and it seems that lots of pregnant women go through surgery for various reasons and overall there are no probs afterwards, which can be directly related to the GA.

I have to say I really don't feel pregnant today, boobs have shrunk altho nips still 'nippy' (TMI I know!) but just feel battered, swollen and puffy at the moment.

Trying to stay positive, all emotions are chemical reactions and all that!

oh no fannyannpan what a roller coaster. heres hoping that it is a viable pregnancy in a good place and they just didn't get the right images. xxx

So anaesthetics themselves don't cause problems, they think it is due to the other problems these women had that meant they needed operations.

I do hope that is reassuring.

I'm so sorry, meant to add this bit from it as well.

"These studies concluded that problems resulted from primary disease or the surgical procedure itself rather than exposure to anaesthesia."

This is a journal paper about anaesthetics in pregnancy:

ceaccp.oxfordjournals.org/content/6/2/83.full

"Studies of outcomes in large numbers of women who underwent surgery during pregnancy suggest no increase in congenital abnormalities but a greater risk of abortion, growth restriction and low birth weight."

Hope that reassures you a little. Hope it all works out for you.

thing not think... doh!!

thanks snowgoose, it is very scary, I never realised how strongly I would feel so quickly towards the 'baby'.

DH was talking about it as an alien which needed removing but I couldn't see it as a bad think even if it was lodged in my tubes and ready to kill me!

Hi fannyann. Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but that all sounds terrifying - good luck with the scan, do let us know how it goes!

Does anyone know whether there is an ante natal thread for those due in April '12? Good luck all of you who are still waiting. Finger crossed x

Hi, well I just had a rollercoaster of a 24 hours and I thought I would share on MN for some advice. We went for a scan yesterday morning at EPAU which showed an some empty sac (the thought a pseudo sac) in the womb and a 'cyst' in a tube with 8mm something showing in it. So suspected ectopic pregnancy - not good. BUt I was reluctant for the op and wanted to see blood results on hormones before I agreed to the op (drugs were not an option as I had collapsed in pain last Saturday although not passed out).

Hormone level was at 4000 which they said almost confirmed ectopic as they would expect to see heartbeat on scan with that level of hormone. So I agreed to op which I had last night. I was devastated last night and really couldn't comprehend losing the pregnancy and halving future chances in one foul swoop.

Anyway I eventually came round - I am RUBBUSH with GA - to be told that once they got in there they couldn't find anything on my tubes which looked fine, all be it with increased blood supply and here I am back at home battered and bruised.

They are now saying it could be a viable pregnancy but equally, given the lack of heartbeat or anything else in the uterine sac it might be a slow miscarriage. I have another scan booked for Thursday so fingers crossed I am still on the APril bus by then.

I wondered if anyone knew the dangers to pregnancy of the GA drugs on the feotus?

Still no AF, though she's due today, and still a BFN on the pee stick though I've been feeling really off kilter and cramping for a few days. I think it must all be in my head??? :-/

thanks MichaelaS. Number 3 is just 13 mths and we decided on 1 more to make it even and still no joy. Would like to complte my family by the time i am 40 and then just enjoy, but as we all know however hard we try it can't be controlled so easily. Off i go to the May bus!

still no af on cd46 and all bfn!!!!!

Still nothing over here. The pinky browny spotting i had yesterday and day before has disappeared too. Am prob just clutching at straws but last time i had an odd long cycle i had no spotting til cd 36. Doing daily cheapie tests, all bfn. harrumphh

I hope so michaela! AF due today/tomorrow... holding my breath (I look like this -> ha ha)

sn0wgoose and meconium its not over yet! and symptoms sound v promising snowgoose!

randommummy sorry to hear you're off the bus. Definitely get checked out, you never know what they can do to help even if its only reassurance that the plumbing is in working order. how old is number 3 now? personally i'm not a fan of homeopathy but each to their own - its usually more important you believe something works than what that thing is, so go with whatever you think would make you feel cared for, treated, fixed and loved.

Have fallen catastrophically off the April bus 6 days earlier than planned. Very . I am visiting the DR tomorrow as i am worried about why, after 3 relatively easy conceptions the last member of my family is being so ellusive. Also worried about why aunt flo has stopped coming for her regular appointments and is turning up when she feels like it willy nilly. Am wondering if my body is out of balance still after having number 3 and wondering about homeopathy. Any thoughts? Maybe I have just gone past it at 38. xx

lauraloo I've heard that implantation can cause spotting which can sometimes be mistaken for early AF signs. Have you tested? :)

I've been cramping like nobody's business for the past 4 days, but not my usual AF dull-ache, more like someone's stabbing my uterus with a knitting needle >(

Wow, this bus sure is looking empty!

Waiting for AF here; due today/tomorrow. BFN yest. In my head I know I'm not upduffed, and yet I can't tell you how anxiously I'm awaiting AF :(

still nothing over here.....waiting impatiently

oh bartlet :( for you fingers crossed next month is your month.

Well I was so excited this morning as when I went to the loo and wiped there was fresh bright red/pinkish blood so I assumed AF had came and I was happy as I can now track my cycle. I put a tampon in and when I took it out sometime ago there was nothing on it and since then no blood or anything so now after being happy at AF arriving i'm so confused as it has now gone. what could this be? why oh why cant my body just be normal for once!!

Absolutely. Who actually wants an April baby anyway? I mean, you'd potentially have to start the post-baby diet and would miss the opportunity to nom all those easter eggs guilt free!
