Elderberry Pavlovas Unite - the over 30s TTC number 1 (thread 2)

rache - will be thinking of you at 12 x

Another woop for you Blol, cautious, of course, but still

So glad they've got you in for a scan Rache I know you must be nervous, but at least you get an answer. Everything crossed for you.

You're still not out yet Bunny and Pip - thrush is relatively common in BFP circles due to the extra CM (apparently), and spotting is spotting. No AF means there's still the tiniest fragment of hope.

Stay positive!

Congratulations Lol!!! That is fantastic news! Welcome to the 8WW

After the longest weekend ever, I am pleased to say they've got me in for a scan at 12 today. I am suddenly absolutely terrified of the possible outcome but it's better to know I suppose. The pain and bleeding had stopped completely by last night so it might be ok.

Janey Get yourself in for a scan or do whatever it takes to get yourself the peace of mind you need to enjoy your lovely holiday

janey I would probably try get a scan before you go, you would only worry otherwise. But as said before, my symptoms come and go all the time, some days don't have any - like over this weekend, was also convinced that something must be wrong (but nauseous like hell again today).

Oh lol massive congratulations! Hoorah! Let this be the start of another run of elderberry BFP's...

rache good luck re: trying to get a scan today, they really should say yes so kick up a stink if they don't. Or try another hospital and transfer to them!

I am so worried as all my symptoms seem to have gone over the weekend: my boobs are no longer sore, and don't feel as hard/fake (they're not fake, but have just looked them over recent weeks), I don't feel sick or anything. I'm so worried as I think it was about point last time that my symptoms stopped - and I found out a month later it had all go wrong. Do you think I'm being silly? Really thinking of paying for a private scan, as I'm so worried I almost don't want to go to Dubai on Weds, can't stand the thought of it all going wrong when I'm away from DP. I did it on my own last time (my ex lived abroad, and we split straight after the mc as he hadn't wanted me to keep it) and can't face doing it on my own again.

Aargh know I'm being pathetic but am just so scared today...

If you want to clear it for good you can just use a canesten pessary, and ask DP to use the canesten exterior cream for a few days. It can linger around in/on both of you, lying dormant and then flaring up when conditions are right. Men don't tend to get any symptoms even if they are carrying it.

Congratulations Lol! Fantastic news!
I am excited!!!

oooohhhhh a new Elderberry BFP!!!! Congrats!!

Welcome MrsMustard

Rach when is your appointment?

OMG there is a line. I am not getting excited until I do more tests.
I am literally shaking.

Hi- please can I join you?
I am 31 and DH is 37. We started trying in a very half hearted way over summer, then decided to leave it till December. I'm currently on cd7 of a 29 day cycle. I'm Using cbfm to try and find ovulation date, but I assume it's round about cd14 as I often get spotting at this time (hoping this is ovulation spotting, not signs of something bad!)
Im on the bus, just approaching work now, so will come back later on in the day.
Good luck to anyone approaching POAS soon.

Bunnygirlie I used to get that too. I reckon it's something to do with the PH balance in the vagina changing during the luteal phase and encouraging thrush - and it's worse when you are TTC and having lots of unprotected sex! You are probably doing this but make sure you treat DP otherwise he will be reintroducing it to you every time you clear it.

The only good thing I find is that AF seems to sort out thrush. I guess it restores the balance or something.

Thrush doesn't mean you're out does it Bunny.

Spotting has stopped here, but then it always does just before AF actually turns up. Still not hugely hopeful.

Thanks Lol. 14DPO and no signs of AF is very exciting. Nothing to be scared of when POAS. I've got everything crossed for you

Hope you get your scan Rache. Make up whatever you need to in order to get it!
It turns out I'm 14 dpo and no af yet. Might poas tomorrow but still scared

I still have a tiny little bit of pink when I wipe Pip, but it has pretty much stopped, thank goodness!

How are you?

Has the bleeding stopped Rache?
I would still be demanding a scan though if I was you.

Yeah me too Hazle. This weekend has gone sooooo slowly! Even if I have to over-egg my symptoms I'm determined to get one, but based on my obsessive Googling I think they will offer me one from what others have said. I just hope our little bean is ok.

Been thinking about you today Rach, hope you get your scan without much hassle.

Spotting and even a bit of bleeding is apparently perfectly normal. Same with the cramps, although its still not very nice to have :/ Hope you're feeling/doing better this morning :)

Six or 3 days late now,depending on what dates cycle-wise I'm working from... Negatory piss-stick and still hacking up oil due to this minky cold... I was going to 'Sods Law a positive' last night and get some wine, but feel too rubbish to even contemplate drinking right now!

Hope everyone is having a nice lazy Sunday!
