If TTC # 2 has turned you into a nut job this thread is for you! (Part 4)

Oh Sebs, bless you going on your own! You must be a pretty strong cookie! We will all be thinking of you anyway. What time is your scan? Do let us know what the updates are. What an emotional whirlwind for you! At least by tonight you will know where you are up to.

Thinking of you today Sebs, and praying for you it is not ectopic, and all is fine. But whatever happens you can deal with it, and we are all here for you.xxx

Good luck sebs
I hope it's not ectopic, I really do. IF and I say IF it is, they may admit you to hospital so be prepared for that. BUT I am still holding out hope that this is all nothing and there is a little bean growing nicely. Thinking of you xxxxxx

Sorry been off the radar for a couple of days (so busy I can't cope) and saw this sebs. Oh no, my lovely. Thinking of you so much. It's so horrid. It might not be bad news but does sound so similar to what happened with me. I hope for you it is not the same but also know how hard it is with blood coming out to have even an ounce of positivity. Big big hugs for you and keep us posted. Hope husband and mum etc are around to help - I hope you aren't going to scan on your own? Xxxx

Ah Sebs, I so hope everything is ok for you tomorrow. But if not it sounds like you are a bit mentally prepared and maybe half expecting it after all the bleeding/discharge? You are right, ttc is much more fun!! Which month did the main psychic predict then for you? Have you been getting any cramps too tonight or just the bleeding?
Cake glad you spilled the beans! I think if it ever happens for me too I will tell my parents early on, I was going to leave it til the 12 week scan but they know now that we have trying for a while, so it will be nice news for them!! I'm not normally one to share alot with people, but they figured out something was up!
Punky surprises me that google came up with nothing, I would think nosebleeds are a sign!! Good luck for monday, exciting! In terms of the cruise, at least by may/ june you will get a positive either way, a baby or a cruise later in the year!
Zippy your Dr does sound amazing. I'm a bit scared to go and see ours incase they turn me away, as I'm 27 and it's only been 8 months, but I am starting to suspect there must be something wrong.
Sebs will be thinking of you tonight (not in a weird way!) Good luck for tomorrow, or some hand holding at least. x

Oh sebs I'm sorry. The scan tomorrow will at least show you what's what, and who knows you might be surprised and things are ticking along ok, just with some weird discharge stuff! I do really hope so, keeping everything crossed for you.

I told my parents and sister today, they were delighted of course and it was nice to know that if things should go wrong they will be on hand to help out, especially with dd. I feel very bloated and think I look about 6 months preg, but other than that, nothing. I was the same with dd, really want some symptoms to make me believe it's real, but seeing my friend yesterday who has terrible morning sickness made me very grateful not to feel anything!

ginger like the new name

Wishing you all lots of luck and I'm going to keep lurking to see your BFPs rolling in x

Cake, I would definitely tell your parents. If you would tell them (need them) if something went wrong it makes sense to tell them now, and have some close family to support you now.

Thanks Ginger, we are definitely booking the hols once we have sorted the logistics of flights/villa prices. I'm home now (working week is over) so am going to get this sorted by the weekend. DH is also now talking about us going away on a cruise in Oct (just the 2 of us for a short cheap one).. I had to point out that we can't go if I am pregnant as you can't cruise over 5.5 months.. so we can't book it until at least May/June (if I am not preggers) when I am guessing it will be sold out.

I am hoping to wait for next Monday to POAS. I will be 11DPO then which I know is still early.. but I know I will be anyway.. then probably again Tuesday/Wednesday until Af comes!

After sending above message about symptom spotting driving me crazy I went out to lunch and got a nosebleed out of nowhere.. I just thought I had a weirdly runny nose that wouldnt stop.. started dabbing with tissues and realised it was blood. I never get nosebleeds unless really hot.. so anyway, spent half the afternoon googling 6DPO and nosebleeds to see if it was a pregnancy sign.. NUTS!!! (for those that want to know it didnt come up with anything conclusive)

hello lucy/ginger, I went to the drs after 5 months of trying (6 cycles), age 35 with regular periods and an instantly conceived, still breastfeeding one year old. She ordered blood tests straight away and a hospital scan the next week which was normal. I didn't realise, until reading here, that this was perhaps an unusual (if admirably pro active) GP reaction.

These tests are ultrasounds through the month to see exactly when OV occurs, I have been TTC since last summer.

Sebs, any updates? x

Hi ladies, new name for LucyJo! Hoping a change is what I need....
Fedup sorrry you have been feeling shitty, I can understand you feeling like you will never have a baby, but just to echo what everyone else has said, you have successfully gotten pregnant 3 times, it is just a matter of waiting for a sticky one, but as we all know the waiting game is bfp (big fat pants!!) Booking lots of things to keep you busy is an excellent idea.
Sebs how amazing that you have got your scan so soon! Not long to go til you can put your mind at rest and see your little squirmer. I think you will be fine, but it must be so awful to constantly be on knicker watch. How many weeks will you be on fri then?
Punky do it!! Book yourself a holiday, you are guaranteed to get a bfp then! We are thinking of waiting to find out when DHs parents are coming to visit (they live in Oz) so we can leave DD with them and run away on a couples only holiday for a few days! Trying to see the positives in only one child...Good luck with your 2WW, try not to get yourself too worked up! Will you POAS beforehand?
Zippy when will you going for your tests? Do they just involve a blood test? How long have you been trying?
Cake hope you start to feel sick soon!
I have just bought some clearblue smileys so will start using them in a few days, but am toying with the idea of booking a Drs appointment...

Hello everyone, just wanted to say sebs all the best for Friday and try not to worry about the brown gloop, as punky said a bit of this is fine, and on Friday you'll be able to really start feeling lots more confident as I'm sure this one is sticky

Hang in there punky and others on the 2ww, just a really crappy time and feels like time stands still doesn't it? Stay busy busy busy, that's the best you can do for now. Wishing you all loads of luck.

Absolutely zero symptoms here so still feeling all totally surreal. I'm thinking if telling my parents when I see them tomorrow - even though its early I think it makes sense in case something goes wrong and I need their help with dd. not going to see the doc for a while though, hardly seems much point when I'm told the midwife won't see me for weeks yet.

Awww Sebs, it must be a nightmare.. I had a huge bleed at 7 weeks with DS.. was sent for a scan the next day and it was fine.. some blood had collected somewhere for some reason.. haematoma or something.. sorry I'm being a bit vague.. but I am a zombie today! Anyway, as everyone says.. brown tinges of old blood are fine I'm sure.. its the cramping, etc thats the bad sign. Fingers crossed for you on Friday!!

Yes Fedup, I'm in the 2ww too.. and its hell this time.. I don't know whether it was because we did somehow by total fluke get the BD timing pretty spot on.. (bearing in mind if it wasnt for my bad back I would have been in a hotel in London and missed it entirely!).. but I am symptom spotting like crazy, and totally doing my own head in over it. I know I'll be crushed if I get AF next week.. I'm due on anywhere from Monday onwards.. just hoping if I do get AF that at least my LP will get to 12/13 days and my cycle settles a bit more.

All the talk of holidays has also got me planning.. we are looking at Portugal in June.. I need something to take my mind of ttc, and to look forward to with all this horrible rain! Sooo depressing!

I hope everyone else is ok.xxx

Yeah I thought midwives didn't need to see you til booking in appt but doctor does early on to register you for mat exemption card thingy and hospital for scan date.

Glad all seems ok sebs and you are feeling positive about it - that intuition is usually right.

I'm in the 2 ww of doom. Don't even know when period due but know I have ovulated (well had the symptoms). Work is so busy and am knackered trying to do 4 jobs at once (consultant, mummy, wife and training in my PT stuff) it's bloody hard work and hope I am doing at least some of it ok. Give me strength. Now off to sleep.

Anyone else on 2 ww?? punky??

How curious sebs. Last time, I mentioned as an aside to my GP I was pregnant, when at an appointment for a chest infection the day after getting my bfp, the clearblue test had said 3 weeks pregnant, and lo and behold was ushered in to see a midwife there and then who wanted all manner of decisions about which hospital I wanted, nuchal fold tests etc. So just goes to show it differs massively.

Highly likely all will be well sebs. Take care.

fedup just wanted to echo everyone else, you've been so bloody unlucky but I'm sure that will change. My sil had 4 miscarriages and went onto to have 2 dc so it can and will happen for you. In the meantime great idea to thrash it out at the gym and good luck with the new project.

sebs lots of luck for your appointments, keep us posted.

I decided to tell one of my good friends in RL yesterday, thought in case things don't go to plan someone else ought to know. Not really sure when to go to docs etc, seems a bit early yet!

Ps sebs hope all goes well at appointments tomorrow and wed.

Thanks ladies :)

Yes, it's always easier to be rational for someone else. I've one friend in RL who gets it. We are both utterly nuts about our own situ but some how can see the rational side for one another! And it's the same on here... Thanks ladies.

I felt a bit peeved before when my sister was trying to tell me to stay positive and have faith I will have another one... Bugs me when how coukd she poss understand what it's like when she has her 3. Try not to let it get to me but does feel so unfair that she should have 3 and will prob have 4 by some 'accident' again.

I'm glad we can all sort each other on here whether it's about losing hope or doing invasive tests or dealing with early preg bleeding

I went to the gym this eve and had a good thrash about. Feel better for it. Start my new project at work tomorrow - fortunately about an hour away, not the 3 hours of the last one!!

I wonder if we are all able to be a bit more rational about someone else's situation than our own. Like the ladies on here objectively saying wait before having intrusive tests has actually persuaded me far more than the "just relax" type comments that eg a GP or stranger might make. And, fedup, it's kind of natural you would be finding it difficult to maintain hope but from an outside perspective it does look highly likely.

Ah thanks guys. I just feel a bit flat about it all but pleased you think it will happen even tho I doubt it more every day. I just find the 2ww fucks with your head so much too, which I know you all know!

I'm at the stage with my son where I have to bargain with him to get him to eat certain stuff. I'm sure it's not the right way to go about things but only way I seem able to get variety in his diet. Please god may this be just a phase!!

sebs how's the brown discharge this wk?
