Thanks Pip, that's good to know. I was convinced it was game over yesterday but now it's stopped I'm not so sure. Either way I need a scan now for my sanity!

Pipbin · 25/11/2012 11:25

Glad to hear the bleeding has stopped Rache.
Lady I work with had bleeding start on a Friday and was seen on the Monday for a scan. She was about 8 weeks and had misscarried about a year before so was really panicked. Everything was fine for her.

Pipbin · 25/11/2012 11:21

Perfectly normal Janey.
I get spotting from about 7dpo onwards as a rule.
It didn't start until 10dpo this month.

Rache1S · 25/11/2012 11:18

Well, the bleeding seems to have stopped, which has lowered my anxiety levels a bit, but I'm still desperate to see a heartbeat on a screen so I will be falling out with my Midwife tomorrow if she doesn't offer me a scan. I've still got some mild cramping so FX it doesn't get any worse.

BelissimaLol · 25/11/2012 10:28

Well nothing here. Had a bit of wine last night but not that much. Cramps stopped and no spotting. Still don't want to get hopes up.

janey1234 · 25/11/2012 10:12

Is that normal for you pip?

Pipbin · 25/11/2012 09:49

Still spotting

janey1234 · 25/11/2012 08:28

Rache - how are you this morning? Been thinking of you...

Bunny - prosecco sounds bloomin' lovely... Even at this timeof the day!

Good luck to any about to POAS - about time for some more BFP's!

Pip I have even my eyelashes crossed for you!

Rache1S · 24/11/2012 20:34

Thanks Hazle, I'm ok... well, as good as I can be Smile
I just keep thinking there's nothing I can do to alter it's fate so there's no point worrying, but I look forward to knowing either way so Monday can't come quick enough. I'm still getting mild AF style cramps and lower back pain but the bleeding hasn't got any worse so at least that's something.

I really appreciate everyone's well wishes and my wonderful DH is an absolute sweetheart who is keeping me sane Smile

Pipbin · 24/11/2012 20:30

Well spotting has turned red here.
Looks like I'm out this month.
That said, my spotting normally stays brown until AF. If it's not turned into proper AF by Tuesday, which will be 14DPO then I guess I'll POAS.

HazleNutt · 24/11/2012 20:10

Rach Fx for you, how are you doing?

Pipbin · 24/11/2012 19:40

Not to excess is my answer Bunny. Until implantation the baby doesn't share your blood flow. In fact I think it's not until a while after that.
Drink but don't get bladdered.

navis176 · 24/11/2012 19:26

Oh Rache ? I really hope everything works out ok for you ? fingers crossed for a scan on Monday that shows everything is fine and dandy [hug]

Pip and Lol and Sazza - best of luck for POAS ? hope you all get good news in the end!

Zombies ? hope your side effects are wearing off

Bunny ? go forth and drink! I?m waiting for shagging week and had a fair few cocktails last night ? can thoroughly recommend the relaxing effect Grin

Purplemonster · 24/11/2012 19:24

Oh go on, have a drink Bunniegirl, it's the weekend!

janey1234 · 24/11/2012 19:09

Drink!! If you were pg it would still immune to any alcohol so make the most if it! Hopefully you won't be allowed any booze soon, so make the most if it Wink

Quodlibet · 24/11/2012 19:06

Point!

And there's plenty of time for not drinking on a Saturday night and it feeling very dull and really fancying a glass of wine or two when you are pg.

Quodlibet · 24/11/2012 19:04

Bunniegirl - drink! Even if you had conceived the embryo wouldn't be receiving anything from your bloodstream at this p

Oh rache, it's awful that it could be something or nothing. Really really hoping that it's the latter. Will be thinking of you x

Pipbin · 24/11/2012 17:37

Oh Rache.
I know that saying 'try not to worry' is as much use as those people who say 'try to stop thinking about it' when you are TTCing, so, watch crap tv and try to relax the best you can.
Keep us updated and we are all keeping our fingers crossed.

Rache1S · 24/11/2012 17:29

Thanks guys, I know many of you have already been through this kind of thing so I know you know how I'm feeling.
I'm 9+3 and had a 28 day cycle so I think normal AF time would have been last week?
It did ease off slightly but has since come back so I phoned NHS Direct who put me through to my local out of hours surgery. The Nurse there did a phone assessment and said it could well be the start of a MC, but because the bleeding and cramps are quite light it could also all be fine. As long as it doesn't get heavier with clots over the weekend, they advise to phone my local Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit on Monday morning who will probably get me in for a scan, and in the meantime I have been advised to have total rest so Saturday night is cancelled and I have an evening of shit Saturday night TV on the menu.
It's obviously quite worrying but what will be will be and i'm trying to keep my chin up. The not knowing is agony but hopefully I will know either way over the next few days.

janey1234 · 24/11/2012 16:48

Oh rache for everything crossed for you. Second what quod says: if it's when AF was due it's supposed to be very common... Thinking of you x
