The one where we all get and stay diffed, and we're brooking no argument about it

I had plenty of pant snot when pregnant Imps so don't worry about that.

Woohoo Beedles!

Oh Beedles fabulous!!! Let us know immediately what the clinic says and when your scan is booked for.

Loops did you manage to test? Your poor boy - is there a chance he will eventually grow out of it? It is just DS1 or does DS2 have it too?

I am feeling a bit better today. I had a nice night out with Mr Imps last night which I really enjoyed. Yes, I guess there are lots of hormones flooding about at the moment Beedles - it's not like me to get so wound up. Have been sick a couple of times this morning (luckily it stopped after lunch time yesterday) so will take that as a good sign. Am feeling very damp down below though and have had some thick yellow pant snot. Not sure if that's normal or not.

Fabulous!! Let us know what the clinic say :) :)

Imps he is fine with it when he is awake, but if it comes up through his nose he screams horrifically and is hysterical. He used to be fine if it happened in his sleep as he'd just lean over the bed and aim at the bowl, but this week he is very angry. His cough is worse tonight and he has been sick twice so far tonight, and he was screaming and lashing out and refusing to blow it all out of his nose. Think he might have not been fully awake, not sure but hoping this phase doesn't last!

Re you I hope so much that this one is the one, the sickness bodes well! If it continues happening after everything you eat then you might have HG? A friend set up HG Warriors on Facebook if you use it at all?

imps sorry you're having a hard time. You WILL NOT lose this one, all the signs are good. 5 days till your scan. I don't think there's much we can say to help except you're what 2/3 of the way from bfp to scan - the home straight!

It is crap that we can't be happy and excited. When I told my instadiffer sister I think she thought I was mad as I said basically I'm telling you this, but please don't be excited... But that's OK, there will be time for excitement later. And when you have your babies and they don't sleep, or they have reflux or temper tantrums you will take a step back and remember how precious, wanted, and perfect they are. You have both dealt with this all so admirably.

I think I might wait in your situation till your scan then beedle as you say easier to not say sth on the phone, and you will be more optimistic if still cautiously so after the scan

Oh gosh Loops I sorry to hear about DS1. Poor boy - does he find it frightening or does he cope quite calmly with it?

You're all going to shake your heads at me but I've been so anxious today and absolutely certain it's the beginning of the end, so I peed on the CB Digi that I was saving for Friday and thank god it still says 3+ weeks although I did absolutely freak out at the fact it seemed to be taking longer for the result to flash up than usual. It's done a little bit to reassure me but not as much as I'd hoped.

I need to chill the fuck out but I just can't seem to. Can you all please give me a slap? I'm just so convinced that I'm going to lose this one too.

Does you mum know about the IVF/previous MCs Beedles? I don't see that there's any reason not to tell her if you trust her and would want her support in the event of another MC (which WON'T happen btw). I will not tell anyone until I have a 12 week scan - other than Mr I, you guys and medical staff of course.

Yes Keep, he will be 6 in November and just no idea if he will ever grow out of it. Consultant is seeing him again in August and has said they will investigate more if he is still like it when he is 7. Until then we have to deal with his body needing to have a clear out every 2 weeks plus him puking whenever he coughs or gets upset. He was admitted to hospital twice in November because he got a run of the mill tummy bug but he can't cope with those. He got so bad that his consultant has now written to the GP to say that if he gets a tummy bug again, we are to be prescribed Ondansetron immediately. He shouldn't really have it as its only approved for patients that have sickness because they have had chemo/radiation, but it's the only thing that finally stopped him vomiting in November once he'd had 3 or 4 doses of it.

Re telling people about BFP's I've only ever told my DH and people online and people in the NHS. Never told my family as I find it easier to deal with my emotions if people don't know as then they don't ask and I don't fall apart trying to deal with the questions! But I know lots find comfort in telling their family, guess depends on how close you are Beedle and whether you would need her support like Keep said?

The poor thing beedle I didn't realise reflux outlasted baby hood. Never mind there's always tomorrow to test

imps and beedle I think it's OK not to get excited, it all feels very surreal until much later on, at least ime. For today you are pregnant, and just focus on scan/otd. beedle would you tell your mum if sth were to go wrong? How much does she know of the whole saga? Are you seeing her on Sunday or just talking to her? Last time I didn't tell family till after 7 week scan as I didn't want them worrying too, this time was earlier as they knew we were doing ivf after Xmas so would be wondering

I hope so too beedle, he's come down with a horrid cough, but because of his reflux if he coughs he ends up puking, so puked on his sheet and duvet cover overnight despite having a sick bowl right by his bed that lives there everyday because it happens regularly. He spent most of the night coughing and from 5am he woke up and came into our room and no way I would test with him there. I've protected both boys so far from all the pregnancies/MC's/Erpc/hysteroscopy/going to Coventry, they haven't a clue and I want to keep it that way until such time as we get one that survives to 12 weeks with a positive scan. Am hoping he will shake it off as he isn't coughing as much now he is upright, and otherwise seems fine in himself so much to his annoyance I'm still sending him to school today.

Sorry Imps, no testing here today, eldest isn't well and no chance to discreetly test FMU today as don't want him seeing the tests as he would tell people if he saw mommy weeing on something!

Probably for the best as even with the boys my hcg took a while to show on tests and thinking about it Frer say 6 days from the day of missed period, mine isn't due to start until Monday so I'd be better testing either Thurs or Fri I think?

I know - and I know that if any of you said that you'd jinxed your pregnancies I'd be saying that there's no way on earth that that could be true. It is just so so so so hard to be positive though with so many years of nothing but disappointment.

I've tried some pineapple which was very delicious actually. Hopefully that'll stay down.

Of course you haven't jinxed it Imps. You have a sticky little bean in there that has no idea if you have booked a scan.

Oh imps you have not jinxed anything! I wish I could say something to make you feel more positive, unfortunately past bad experiences do make it harder to relax and enjoy.
Sorry your feeling so sick, I have no advice as I was never that bad, haribo sours and bananas made me feel better though if I was feeling rough.

But in other news, I have booked a scan for next Monday morning. My ectopic side is feeling quite swollen today, so I thought I would phone and ask if it's normal to have those sensations. They said that as long as there's no pain they're not overly concerned. I said I wanted to wait and see if I was still pregnant at the end of the week before booking a scan but the nurse said "Oh bless you. Let's book you in now though".

Feel like I've jinxed everything now.

Nope, that hasn't stayed down either.

I was never this sick with previous pregnancies so maybe I should be encouraged by it. Or maybe I just ate something dodgy!

I'm trying a cream of chicken cup-a-soup - usually my stomach can tolerate one of those if I'm sick.

Oh dear Pasta that doesn't sound like fun. I suppose it's not okay to give an infant sleeping tablets is it?

Fingers crossed that all these symptoms are a sign of embies settling in for the long haul.

I'm getting hardly any sleep but that is because DD2 has decided not to bother sleeping at night so is up every 1-2 hours :(

Oh no imps poor you. I'm sleeping badly too, and I do feel queasy if I don't eat all the time... Hoping it's a good sign for you though

beedle try drinking some milk. I'd say it's a little early for preg heartburn but you never know!
