Saggy my EPU have told me the same things - they will scan me at what they think will be 8 weeks and then at 12 - she said if I find out early they will scan be straight away. Need a BFP first though!!

It's rubbish that the units vary so much across the country.

Morning everyone.
Well, if I can be grateful in anyway for MC an ectopic, its that the EPAU have already told me that they want me nice and early next time. Its a double edged sword though I think. Sometimes ignorance is bliss in a way.

Also totally agree with that rationale for an early scan

shellshock7 · 13/03/2013 11:54

spanish if we get past this one I've still gotta get to scan date and pass first MMC date so there's no let up Hmm

Thanks for doing the stats!

WillSantaComeAgain · 13/03/2013 11:36

Hello everyone!

On ovulation between a MC and first AF, I've had people tell me that OPKs don't really work. Who knows though?!

Spanish - my MW tried to refer me for an early scan and the bastards refused. However, I got one in the end and I'm really glad that I did (even though it was bad news) because otherwise I'd have had a further four weeks of waiting and wondering and uncertainty. Can you try to explain to your DH that its not being negative, but will help you relax and therefore lead to a less stressful pg?

Because I'm totally anal in a slightly control freak way organised, below is the list in alphabetical order (I still get confused about who is where on this rotten journey)

alyant79 · 13/03/2013 11:30

Thanks spanish! I am filled with false hope again!

SpanishLady · 13/03/2013 11:08

Hi alyant - thanks for your sympathy its just something you have to go through right!
Have just been to the doctors at work (have a prob with my ear) and asked him and he said I should tell them immediately - they may not doing anything as was my first MC but they should know about the new pregnancy

in terms of my dates.....

Jan 31 - first day of spotting
Feb 1 - MC and scan confirming MC
Feb 6 - last day of bleeding
Feb 9 - BFN preg test
Feb 13 - EWCM/OVL pain (neg OPK)
Feb 14 - BFN preg test (neg OPK - didnt test again after this one)
Feb 16 - DTD
Feb 24 - BFN preg test
Feb 25 - very faint BFP
Feb 26 - 1-2 weeks on Clearblue digital
March 1 - 2-3 weeks on Clearblue digital

I think I must have actually ovulated maybe Feb 15?

JBrd · 13/03/2013 11:05

Good morning, ladies, marking my place

I'm part of the Friday testing club - I was going to wait until Saturday, but have been 'persuaded' to join Fertile Friday (read: threatened with fish slaps Smile).

CD25, no AF so far. Temp shot up again this morning. I'm symptom spotting like mad, only that there are no symptoms! I never get sore boobs or a metallic taste..

alyant79 · 13/03/2013 09:53

spanish i'm sorry to hear about groundhog day :(

I think I'd be tempted to call midwife and try and get early scan.

I seem to remember that you only dtd once after your mc and got pg I'm clutching at threads here is this right? what day post mc was it? not that I want to copy you or anything, just trying to plan the un-planable...

Mummytothearkbuilder · 13/03/2013 09:32

Ohh lucky how exciting!! I will keep my fingers crossed!! X

OP posts:
SpanishLady · 13/03/2013 08:35

ooh booty - yours is more complete though!

SpanishLady · 13/03/2013 08:34

Lucky - oooh! very excited and pelased for you - make sure you let us know when you POAS again and it gets darker!

FX flower and for those due to test on Friday!

Hi MrsHoward - welcome and in the nicest possible way hope you are not here very long!

I am now 5+6 and feel like im stuck in 1st trimester groundhog day - its like walking in thick deep sticky mud trying to move my dates along. I am sticking to my plan though not to see MW until week 8. And at least this time I feel something - constant tummy ache, pulling and prodding feelings and very sore boobs!

Shell - I know it can happen any old time frankly but Im also focused on the time I lost my last one - 8+5 - how foolish I am to think if I get past that Im safe but its all Ive got!

DH refuses to allow me to book an early scan so then think maybe I should call the MW earlier and they might offer me one? Is is bad that I have fleetingly considered booking one by myself and going alone? I wont as I think DH would be very hurt to have missed the first chance to see the bean but his being all calm and rational is driving me nuts!

His BF's wife is due any day now with their second and I was saying how exciting it was etc and he said actually not to be mean but not really for me I just want our own baby to be ok and the next 8.5 months to hurry up - so I was mollified for 5 seconds!

not easy this malarky is it?

Bakingtins - hope you find us X

Welcome Mrs. Sorry for your loss but welcome to the thread. So I've tested and there is a faintest of faint lines. So faint it could me an evaporation line or another chemical. I've done 2 FRET and they both the same. Guess its a waiting game! After the last 2 MC and scared to be hopeful . Buy yey to a bit of positivinfrigity!

alyant79 · 13/03/2013 07:30

IBelieveInPink · 13/03/2013 07:15

Thanks Mummy

Welcome mrshoward. Sorry you find yourself here.

I am going to hang around here before moving on if you ladies don't mind. Let's face it I'm pretty sure this one will end the same, so hanging here until I get a sign otherwise (that''ll be a scan in 8 weeks then!)
Still freaking out. The usual. Argh.

Zeuxippe · 13/03/2013 07:02

Found you! Like the Fred title, vg!

So do we have a list of poasers? Vicarious thrills, still on af here...
