We are jolly well going to get and stay diffed this month and we are BROOKING NO ARGUMENT.

I'm so sorry loopy, sending lots of love to you and MrL.

One of mine did that too keep, I've put it down to the style of bra - there's very little padding or cushioning under the wire and it leaves awful red gouge marks by the end of the day, to the point where the next day my bra feels like it's resting on bruises. Other styles of the same size are much more comfy.

Very uncomfortable today, quite crampy and stretchy - I think there's a lot of growing going on at the moment. My back, just under my ribcage, is really achy too but this morning's vomming session was rather violent so I'm thinking I've just pulled a few things. Had some spotting on Sunday (freaked out much? me?!) but nothing since, and the doppler has been an absolute godsend.

I'm half way through my first week of weaning off the meds - I've dropped 50% of my pred, and one of my three estrogen tablets. I can't wait til Saturday when I can drop one of my bum bullets, too!

beedle OMG 7 weeks - are they insane?? And that was for a FET wasn't it? I can't blame you for carrying on, I'd have done the same.

Not too much longer trix, how many weeks are you now?

How're you doing imps? Def practice 'ignore, ignore, ignore' re the family's "advice" about flying.

If you can get 2 fingers underneath then it is not too small. It could be the cups that are causing the problem, do you have any bulges anywhere? Under the armpit, over the top of the cup etc?

I can pull the 30 a bit, not much. Feels comfy but gives red marks

Sock marks are normal, painful red ones aren't. How far can you pull the band on the 30s?

I hope it shows something easily fixable pasta. Can I go back to boobs? Should you get red marks upon removing bra? My new 30Es feel comfy and I think are right except big red marks round rib cage. But the 32 you could pull way out...

I'm not concerned about them getting it as it is good to get it out of the way, my only concern is we are going on holiday on 6th June and I don't want illness to stop us going.

MRI is because my consultant wants to know why my hearing is deteriorating as fast as it is. I'm also going through the referral process for a cochlear implant and you have to have MRI as part of the tests for that too.

geek I can't wait to be off the meds I hate being on soo much medication. I'll be weaning at the soonest possible chance.
Great scan pic btw and yours keep
pasta agree it might be best to get the pox out of the way in some ways I wish N would hurry up and get it, he starts preschool 2 afternoons a week in sept so I guess that will be when all the fun illnesses will come.
I'm still consuming enough food for 3 people here either because I feel sick or am actually hungry. I've given up weighing my self! I'm not feeling bloated like I was at 4/5wks and am still getting my jeans on so hopefully it's not too bad! I'm just telling myself my body obviously needs it.
Next scan and drip are arranged for the 2nd June and I have my booking in with the midwife this Wednesday afternoon.

pasta I hope your dds do get the pox, but v mildly... I just had a scare in pregnancy as kids at nursery have it so kip may well get it. I was tested and I am thankfully immune, but much better for them to get it now mildly, and get immune.

Yep, ignore her as flying is fine for you for ages yet.

I've just had my MRI appointment date come through, 7:50am next Sunday. I'm not even out of bed then normally

imps there is nothing wrong with flying, many people do it regularly throughout pregnancy. Just ignore. I'm sure she will give similarly unhelpful advice over the coming years. About birth, feeding, eating, sleeping, discipline. Might as well get used to ignoring her now!

Oh no pasta hope the DDs don't get sick, but I suppose with that close contact they probably will - hope you've not got anything planned for a week or 2.

imps my dad apparently said that he didn't Think we should fly to England over the summer to visit as "it might be bad for the baby" I'm ignoring it. I don't Think there is any evidence that a few short-haul flights are dangerous at all. Have a Lovely time!

Sounds like I need to get used to the squashed/full feeling, and carry on with the prune juice to ensure that I don't get constipated.

DD1 had her birthday party yesterday and we are now awaiting the pox as one of her guests went home poorly part way through and we had a message later on saying that she is now plastered with spots :(

Loopy I am so sorry, life can be utterly shit.

Beedles you get lots of funny sensations but constipation is actually common in pregnancy. Up your fibre intake to be on the safe side to help reduce the likelihood of piles. I know you said you aren't constipated but it is something to be aware of. Everything gets moved about and squashed whhich is bound to feel a bit strange at times just wait until your bladder is the size of a walnut and you have someone bouncing on it constantly

Ah loopy so sorry

beedle that sounds right. I've never been constipated but usually feel 'full' now, as if I've just eaten even if hungry at the same time. I think stomack bowel etc are already squashed. But just you wait....

A question for you that have done this Before. For the past few Days my abdomen has been feeling really full and Heavy, the nearest I can compare it to is feeling constipated, but I'm not. Is this feeling normal? Part of me Thinks it must be as Everything is getting a bit squashed in there, but obviously the paranoid part of me Thinks something must be wrong.

loopy I'm so sorry I really hoped that this one would work

geek I very slowly tapered down my progesterone over about 3 weeks between 11 and 14 weeks. I had no guidance from the clinic as they thought I should stop at 7 weeks ha ha ha ha.

keep Lovely scan pic, but I can't Believe you were hanging around for 5 hours

I cleared out my wardrobe over the weekend and moved all the stuff that doesn't fit to the top shelves. Its looking rather bare, I've ordered soem more stuff online I'm just hoping some of it both fits and looks nice. I might settle for just fitting me!

Oh no no loopy I'm so sorry

4+6 today and woken up to bleeding, another one that hasn't worked 😟 So sick of this happening.

Oh loopy I'm so sorry; this is so difficult for you. It must be tough on your body too. Lots of love

Looks like this bfp isn't going to last. Had my first faint lines last weekend on the iffy tests, and they got darker this week on the real tests, but today's FRER is paler than the last couple of days tests. Admittedly it was fairly pale wee as I still have this cough and so am drinking more than normal but I'm meant to be 4+4 today so I wouldn't expect that to matter much by now 😞
