Morning All happy weekend!

I tried to get an appt yesterday but they had nothing left and I couldn't say it was an emergency! I've booked one in that I will definitely be able to go to on Friday next week but receptionist said to keep phoning up when I do have time from work as there might be on the day cancellations etc. By next Friday I'll be nearly 4 weeks late for AF! and it will be 2 months since my last period! Shock

CD 53 today. .

Hope you are all good. One I pm'd Vicky with my job she could forward it to you if you like!

woodwaj · 28/03/2014 22:03

Any news on getting in with the docs broody?

Hope your feeling more confident now a few days have passed since your scan vicky..anyone else in the same situation on the pregnancy boards?

I dont think we dtd until day 13 this month onelife really behind. Im not sure when I ov'd nothing major in temps or cm. The only thing different is I believe your cervix changes position during ovulation and without tmi my oh said he could tell Hmm that was yesterday. Anyone else have that?!

harder not hare

See nursey, we all mess up, don't worry!

onelifeonechance · 27/03/2014 10:02

Hi all,

Sorry been away a bit, life just been v busy.

Vicky, sorry you've not had the complete reassurance you so wanted but it sounds like they're keeping a good eye on things and it's very good news that she is perfectly formed and the consultant is on the ball with things. How many weeks are you now? Hope you're doing ok, know this is so easy to say and so much hare to do but really try to just take things one day at a time and not think too far ahead as it can all get too stressy otherwise. Try and enjoy it and I'm keeping everything crossed for you hon xx

Broody, this really is new for you isn't it, not having af for so long? I am soooo hoping for you, hope you can get dr appt v soon. Am also v intrigued by your job!!!! Grin

Wood, hello my dear, hope you're ok. Temps wise afraid I'm no help, I was hopeless at it and not sure any of mine were accurate. Do you normally get Ewcm?? I'd be more guided by that tbh if you get it.

Nursey, so sorry for af Thanks

Cd 10 here. Not managed to dtd yet! Hmm Not sure how this has happened but we're going to be on it tonight and this weekend. I've got a very good friends wedding tmrw, soooooo excited! Hoped I'd be sat there with a big bump when she sent the invites but seeming as I'm not I intend to make full use of the fizz and have a jolly good knees up!!!!!!

woodwaj · 27/03/2014 07:09

Ahh nursey it does sound like AF Chin up and wait for her to piss off. Dont worry about the duplicate post it happens all the time. You can delete them from a computer but I wouldn't bother

NurseyJay · 27/03/2014 06:48

Sorry for flooding... That'll teach me to update from my phone with a rubbish signal. Have reported and hopefully the duplicate posts will be removed. Phfft. Can't even post to a forum without messing up :'(

NurseyJay · 27/03/2014 06:24

I'm not sure about retesting as now this is just like AF... not getting any aches or pains, or any other indications I'm pregnant :(

Sorry about the BFN's Nursey. :(

Broody CD50 that's mental, Would you be due ovulation soon?? I hope you can get in the docs tomorrow morning. Its horrible not knowing!!

Vicky, as much as they are concerned I am presuming they just have to be over cautious, The scans would be more frequent otherwise I expect! Plus just keep remembering she is otherwise fine and the odds of her staying that way are in your favour! Worry about the amnio closer to the time!

SO today I put a temp into fertility friend, normal temp, I haven't seen any peak as of yet and my predicted fertile date suddenly moved to a couple of days after AF when all month it had my predicted ov date as this weekend! Im so confused! just from CM etc I would say I haven't yet! Any advice....?

broodysnoopstie · 26/03/2014 19:39

I'm just on my way home from work now so didn't make docs. I've got a small window Fri morning but can't try and get an appointment until fri morning at 8.30... Otherwise it will have to be next week.. Vicky did you get my pm? If the consultant doesn't seem worried I'm sure that's a good sign will be keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you though xx

Vickyvix · 26/03/2014 09:29

Morning all

broody cycle day 50, that is long. Do you think you will make the docs today or will you need to work? Totally forget about the public nature of mumsnet, I totally forget sometimes and have to be careful.

nursey sorry you got a BFN, but it doesn't sound like it's over yet. Has the bleeding stopped? If so, I would test again in a day or two using a sensitive test like a FRER

wood correct, my bank account practically had a heart attack at Friday's shop but feels good to have it organised.

Had scan yesterday with the consultant. Mini V is still tiny which is worrying me now, I really felt she had progressed. She's only on the 3rd percentile growth wise which is very very small and nobody really knows why. On paper me and DH shouldn't really make small babies, we are both quite tall and fairly normal sized. But, the consultant stressed that structurally she is absolutely fine so she is unsure why her growth is so slow.

They offered us an amnio after 32 weeks to check it is not something chromosomal which sent me into panic mode. But I think we just need to take each step as it comes, next growth scan is in 3 weeks so I just hope she carries on growing at her own pace (or has a major growth spurt) by then.

So, another 3 week waiting game for us

broodysnoopstie · 26/03/2014 09:14

vicky hope scan was Ok. thinking of you xx

broodysnoopstie · 26/03/2014 09:03

Nursey I think you should keep testing. My sister bled ask the way through her pregnancy.. You only tested at 14dpo you could of ov'd later than you thought and not be as many dpo.. test again in a couple of days Smile

no change here. CD 50!!

NurseyJay · 26/03/2014 05:59

Its the weirdest AF Broody... started early, darker, intermittent flow, pain more central than period pain... was peeing more but that seems to have stopped now... convinced myself it was IB, now annoyed with myself for getting my hopes up... hows things with u?

broodysnoopstie · 25/03/2014 19:43

Sorry Nursey. How's the spotting? Xx

NurseyJay · 25/03/2014 17:43

BFN :(

broodysnoopstie · 25/03/2014 08:52

Nursey good luck for testing today fx!

Vicky thinking of you at your scan today I'll PM you my job don't want to out myself as although it always seems like it's just the few of us on this thread I have to remind myself it's public! ! Grin

woodwaj · 24/03/2014 21:48

Ooh vicky I forgot to say good luck for tomorrow keep us posted x

woodwaj · 24/03/2014 20:14

Sounds like a really successful trip Vicky, I bet your bank account isn't so pleased with the day though!

Im on day 15 today, nothing major to report but If I wasn't tracking my cycles id have thought my AF was due today. I was checking my app today and it predicts AF is due 3 days before my next hospital appointment

NurseyJay · 24/03/2014 20:11

Forgot to say I've been really thirsty n also peeing loads for about the last 3 or 4 days. Not got a UTI as tested at wrk. Wondering now if this is implantation bleeding as have more signs of early pregnancy than I first realised.... I don't wana get my hopes up, but can't help it... Eek. Going to test first thing tomorrow morning...

NurseyJay · 24/03/2014 18:13

Hmm... I'll test 14dpo then, which is tomorrow...! Wish me luck... will let you know. Thanks for the info Vicky

Vickyvix · 24/03/2014 09:50

Argh posted too early!

At least with all of the work you're doing the time will zoom by. What do you do that has hours that long?? Sorry, just being nosey :)

We had a good shop on Friday, we bought the pram (woo hoo!) and just about everything else as well!! We ended up setting up a list and then just zapped everything that we wanted and bought the list at the end. DH was great, I thought he would get bored but I think he secretly enjoyed it :) can't wait for the delivery now.

It's scan day tomorrow with the consultant so I'm back to being really nervous again, just hoping mini V has had her growth spurt.

Vickyvix · 24/03/2014 09:46

Morning ladies, can't believe Monday had come around so quickly again, at least the sun is shining though, hope it is where you are. Hope you all had a good weekend.

nursey Wood's right, I did have implantation bleeding and I thought it was AF. It arrived at 11 or 12 dpo I think and I just assumed it was early AF, it was pretty heavy, just like the first 2 days of AF but was a lot lot darker and just different and then it stopped and went away, that's what got me thinking so I tested at 14 dpo and got my BFP.

Really hope it's good news for you, I shall keep my fingers crossed.

broody hang in there, I agree chocolate is probably the best cure right now. Hope you manage to make it to the docs but if not at least with all of the work you're do
