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

Here you go Imps. Still paler than I would like for 15dpo but trying to believe the stuff on your link. Line is crisper than yesterday's and more pinky, not sure my photos do it justice

Darker with paler urine must be a good sign loopy. I will Think sticky thoughts for you!

Oh loopy that's a rather positive sign! Your prof has made a good call on the clexane. It will give your gum time to heal first - you don't need to be worrying about that as well. Come on, emby!

Ooh stressful loopy but COME ON EMBY!! Hope the boys keep your mind off it all today

Am getting scared. So did a test this morning (15dpo) and today urine was noticeably paler than yesterday's FMU but the line is better than yesterday's one. Not crazily darker but definitely a bit stronger than yesterday's one when I put them side by side, despite today's wee being pale. I have crampy sensations but only on my left hand side. Half my head is saying there could be a chance of this one sticking, as hcg is still rising based on the peesticks and my other half of my head is feeling every cramp and expecting to be bleeding by the end of the day. I've not got past 5 weeks since Jan 2015 and not past 6+4 since I had ds2 in 2012. Struggling that this one will be any different. In desperation to prolong the luteal phase and give it a chance to fully implant I've started the progesterone. Emailed prof B re the clexane and he replied very quickly to say for safety he would suggest having a scan between 5 and 5+3 and start clexane then. He thinks theres no point risking my gum bleeding if it's not a viable pregnancy, but that if it is viable, he thinks as long as I start it next week it will still be ok...

morning all,

any peestick news today loopy?

Thanks for that link Imps. I was unaware that FRER had changed and weren't giving as dark lines as they used to. When I got bfp with ds2 in Jan 2012 they were so reliable and clear strong dark lines. Not like my line today and that was my basis for judging the line today. Will keep everything crossed that I am still in with a chance this cycle. I emailed prof B re clexane and he suggested holding off until had a scan in the next 7-10 days (assuming I don't bleed first) which would be their standard protocol to wait for a location scan before starting clexane. Will see how next couple of days go first...

loopy I don't think you should read to much into the darkness of the test. I bet if you compared it to some done by other women at the same dpo they would all look different.
imps dh took your advice and is off sickness today! I'm off too though, I only work Mondays and Thursday's, I sat around in my pjs till gone 9am and didn't bother taking N to toddler group. Feel much better from having a lazy morning.

That's what I'm doing with tights imps though it gives a funny outline. Tights are so expensive!!

loopy I agree with imps, with kip my line was faint 14dpo but blood test that day the levels were quite good. You've been dubious re progesterone so why not give it a miss and then at least if it doesn't work that'd be one less thing to wonder about

I've just had pickled onion monster munch aldi cheap copy omg so good but I could eat another 10 bags!

Slightly clearer close up. Trying to stay positive that it's not over as definitely progression from the tests over the weekend, but my head keeps blasting back that at 14 dpo it should be a stronger/darker line...

Is your tooth still bleeding? If not I'd have thought clexane fine, but phone your clinic. Brooking it implanted a little late. Sending lots of love

loopy if its any help wierd dreams have been a pregnancy symptom for me! The clexane might not be a good idea, but I doubt the progesterone would do anything bad at this stage.

And sorry but my brain can't cope with reading the other posts I've missed. will try and catch up properly soon. Last nights dream involved me breastfeeding in a restaurant and being told that the baby had to eat a sausage and veg or it couldn't eat at the restaurant and then me going up to angelina jolie and brad Pitt who happened to be eating there too, and asking her to campaign for the rights of breastfeeding mothers and that it was totally unreasonable for them to expect a 7 week old baby to eat a sausage. Am exhausted today!

Ok so now I don't know what to think. DH bought 2 real definitely not fake FRER's yesterday. Used one with FMU and there is a clearer pink line, still fainter than I think it should be at 14 dpo but it's definitely progressed from the even fainter ones from the last couple of days. Done my best Imps on the photo, although I can never seem to get a photo that shows them as well as when I look at them in real life!

So now I don't know what to do. I'd written this one off in my head. I had a tooth removed yesterday so not sure when clexane would be ok to start taking. I wasn't wanting to take progesterone this cycle but what if this is meant to be my rainbow baby and it's just implanted late and needs the progesterone to extend literal phase for it to properly implant. But what if I take progesterone and lose it like the rest. My biggest niggle is that since handing my uterus to the doctors, and them telling me what to take, I've had 6 early losses. (After the 3 MC's before i got into their system)

imps you are amazing. I'm rubbish when I'm tired and poorly , I like to lie in my bed and be waited on till I feel better.
Dh was asleep before N last night

Dinner was not even thought about never mind made and wet washing still in the machine. Can't really complain though because dh cooked and washed up. As hoped I felt a bit better once I was home N's gorgeous face does help.
Although I had a bit of a cry because dh mentioned that his dad wanted to get them tickets to a football game over the bank hol weekend, not really a good time to ask when I feel shitty and tired because of course I said 'no I don't want you to' Yes I probably am being unreasonable!

Yay geek we loved using ours and will dig it out again but not for another few weeks at least!

Loopy I'm so sorry about the line sweetheart. Sending you lots of love. I've also heard of the connection between infection/oral health and fertility, so well done for getting the tooth sorted since the antibiotics haven't done the trick.

Majorly I can only repeat what the others have said, as scary as an early scan is, it's the only way to know for sure what's going on. Spotting is terrifying, I've had my fair share, so always ready to hand hold while you wait for an appointment.

I'm with you there trix, I'm constantly grazing all day to try and fend off the nausea but the second I stop eating it all comes back. Plain water also makes me feel sick, but while I still can't bear even the thought of coffee, I can now drink tea - very odd, as I really dislike tea normally! I'm off so many types of food though - the only thing I can stomach during the day are carbs, and from 6pm onwards I can't even bear them, it's got to be protein.

imps how long has it taken for your bloating to go down? It was weeks ago you came off the progesterone wasn't it? I do believe we are overdue a bumpie from you and keep!

My tummy's so bloated and sore from bruising that I bit the bullet and bought a pair of over-bump tights to try out. First thing I did this morning? Put my thumb through the supposedly reinforced gusset. That was £6 well spent!

I took the risk of buying a doppler this weekend, fully expecting to not get any use/reassurance from it for a few weeks yet. Less than 10 minutes of searching and I found a heartbeat! I think Geekling was having a nap as it was 'only' 169bpm

Well, I'm also insensitive as my dinner is in the oven and I'm laying on the sofa!

pasta my iron levels were checked at 11 weeks and I think they were fine, I don't see the midwife again for another 5 weeks. But I can go to see her again before that if I'm worried, I think I'm probably just being a bit lazy!

beedlesunfortunately I'm not sure that's entirely true!
Ladies I feel like shite I hope I perk up once I'm home from work at the moment I love to go home and crawl straight into bed but that's not going to happen! Helpfully my mum informed me at 4ish that N was having a late nap so bed time will be a struggle! We all have this cold at the moment plus dh's gout is playing up so I can't really get dh to do most of the bedtime routine.
