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

And we want to be updated ASAP!

Thanks guys! I'm just sitting at work gnawing my fingernails to the knuckle fretting about so it's really helping knowing you're out there cheering me on, thanks!

Purple Good Luck! x

Oh purple I didn't realise it was today. GOOD LUCK - will be thinking if you. Fingers crossed for good news for you x

Fingers crossed bottle, I had some similar browny bleeding a couple of times early on but nothing much since so I'm hoping you will be ok. Zombie, I had TERRIBLE almost constant twinges and cramps some of which were really painful but they passed by about 6/7 weeks so I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary.
My scan is at 2.45 today, didn't sleep, I know I should be excited but I'm just scared can't wait for it to be over so I know either way, the waiting is killing me. I'll let you all know how it went as soon as I get home.

Oh bottle that sounds good... Fx hormones rise as they should

God I love my local hospital! The Nurses on Gynae are always bloody brilliant!

Some more pinky brown stuff (TMI) when I got to hospital so I assumed it was game over. Nurse did bloods which I have to call back for in a couple of hours, but she also took swabs and thinks It may be a slight infection. She said my cervix is closed and no sign of any blood coming through it. AIR PUNCH! TMI?
So depending on HCG levels, I'll go back for bloods again Saturday and Monday to see if they are going up as they should. Fx
Had a quick chat about sticky blood as well, which was nice as due to timing of last MCs I have a suspicion that may have been a possible cause....

MrsMustard Brilliant news! Well done for holding off testing until after AF date. That is some will power!!! I never manage it!!

Zombie From all the info I've read - Yes, twinges and even period pains can be completely normal. It seems that symptoms to be concerned about is if it gets very painful and concentrates to one side, or is accompanied by bleeding.

Janey Bad Monkey!!! How bloody annoying!!

Very much so early doors in my experience zombies. It's stretching - already - apparently. Mine was like a stitch from day before AF due to a couple of weeks after. Really quite painful at times, even when sitting still, and quite unlike any other pains. Odd feeling IME, but nothing to worry about

Are twinges normal? Low grade stomach pain on the sides?

Bottle, could be nothing, fx for you!

Janey oh those monkeys are evil in Thailand! I'm pretty sure at least some of them have been trained to steal.

Mustard - massive congrats

Bottle red - everything crossed it's a false alarm. Thinking of you.x

Non ttc/pg news: bloody monkeys nicked my camera this morning. A whole gang of them chased DP and I off the balcony and stole it, dropped it, tried to eat it, and then disappeared into the trees with it. Gutted. All my pics from Dubai and Thailand gone

Hey Ho.

Hoping it's a false alarm bottle. Hugs.

thinking of you bottle really hope its good news and not bad. fx! xx

Seeing as things were getting too happy on here with all the good news....

I'm off to hospital this morning for bloods. Had a bit of browny stuff last night which normally heralds start of AF. I can't tell if I'm twinging any more than before because I'm so over sensitive to every feeling. Can't tell what's real or in my head. Constant boob poking to check they're still tender and not sure they are.
I know this could be an implantation bleed but first MC started like this.

Trying to find positive - if it is MC, then I'll now get a referral to recurrent MC unit.
Really thought we were going to be lucky this time.

Expecting worst so can't get dissapointed....

Thank you everyone! I'm still getting my head around it. I kept getting the pregnancy test out of the bin to look at . Obviously it's early days - AF was due on Tuesday I think. but fingers crossed.
It's so great to be able to announce It on here. I'm already desperate to tell RL people so this helps ease that a little. I will always be crap at secrets though!

Fingers crossed for pip and mother. bunny, I really thought I had missed my chance this month - only dtd twice and quite early. So hopefully all not lost for you?

pip, bunny and mother - rooting for you!!!

Sorry, MrsMustard, not mother.

Thanks for the kind thoughts guys.
And two BFPs. Congratulations Zombie and Mother.
Well, these things happen in threes ...............

sounds promising though twinkle!

me too bunny an twinkle, i'm in your club, feelin positive but have the 2ww now....fingers crossed we will be joining their club soon!

I'm still in your club bunny. Although AF was due today and no sign as yet.

Wow! Congratulations mustard! It's all happening this week! Now we just have to hope that Pip gets a special Christmas present on boxing day

Congratulations Mustard, that's brilliant news! I am loving these Elderberry Christmas BFP's!
