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

geek maybe it's not your 'real' booking appt, 8 weeks is quite early. I saw the nurse at my Gp surgery at 8 weeks, who basically asked me which hospital I wanted to be under and referred me for my 12 week scan, told me about folic acid etc. Maybe it's sth like that, as the booking appt has to go through loads of questions like family and medical history etc. So I reckon they'll then give you a separate one for that. I'm sorry the anxiety is tough. I don't know what to suggest really, just keep busy ...

I just had a flat tyre and called the breakdown people to change it. Tbh I would have done the same if not pregnant I am hopeless, my boss was surprised but then remembered I'm pg... So, who would change their own tyre? Am I pathetic?

trix hang on in there, lovely. Week 5 is by far the worst but you'll be through it soon.

belle bloody hell those superdrug earlies are scary! I'm so sorry they've messed you around, and for the bfn. I hope your cycle gets back on track sharpish.

oh imps it surely can't go on much longer for you, I hope you're having a better day of it today.

beedle 7 weeks!!! there's no way I could do that, that would be too terrifying. I'm also of the school of thought though that if the clinic said you could stop so early, stopping now rather than closer to spa time will be fine. You can then properly enjoy your spa without worrying about that side of things.

Next week is pretty full on, and I'm not handling the anxiety too well at the moment. Monday I have my next intralipids appointment, Wednesday is my midwife booking in appointment, and Thursday is a private 8 week scan. I'm so worried that the scan will show something has happened, most irrationally because my watch stopped at ten to one last Monday afternoon and I became convinced this was because the heart had stopped beating at that time. Daft, I know, but I just can't shake the thought.

Also, question for all you more experienced people who have already had your mw appointments... when I rang and asked for my booking appointment, the receptionist made me a standard 20 minute appointment with the mw. When I queried shouldn't it be longer (the NHS website suggests 1-2 hours!) she checked with a colleague and confirmed no, it would just need a standard appointment. How long were your booking appointments? Is this normal?

Stop before you go to the spa!!!!

Oh I'm not going to tell the clinic, they said I could stop after the 7w scan, but I still had loads left (because I kept asking for prescriptions for more!), and I was far too scared to stop then. Still a bit worried, but it is so much nicer only needing pantliners part-time now instead of 24hrs/day!

Its Lovely and sunny and warm here and starting tomorrow I have a 4 day weekend :o :o

Oh belle I'm sorry, that's dreadful

Yes beedle this time I had totally stopped by 11+5, last time I stopped cold turkey I think at 9.5. No side effects either time. The evidence is v dubious esp after about 8 weeks, it's more of a 'better safe than sorry' I suspect. I'd stop now, wouldn't bother telling the clinic tbh. A few days will make no difference. And it's FAB not to be on drugs!!

Ooh that scan seems a long way off trix

geek how are you doing lovely?

sorry about that belle sounds like you did have a faulty superdrug test

geek how's Everything with you?

I've almost finished my progesterone, got about 5 Days left at 1/day, but I'm going away with work next week for a couple of Days (my conference spa trip) and I'm a bit worried about only just having stopped when i go away. I was thinking maybe I should stop now so if I have any problems (highly unlikely I know) I have time to sort it out before I go away. What do you think?

cartoon hiya! waves back ?

imps sorry you are feeling sick and rubbish again, should settle down soon.

loopy Did they explain hy they thought the progestarone would help? If not then I can see that it would make sense to try without. Such a hard decision. Fx for a sicky one!

So shocked about the superdrug tests - glad I haven't bulk bought them. Could properly drive yourself a bit mad with that.

Just did a frer - totally bfn how very annoying ! Hope you ladies are all doing ok

well done for smacking that rat loopy It could be Worth a try with no progesterone, if nothing else at least you'll feel that you are trying something different.
And I'm also shocked at the false negatives on superdrug tests

imps sorry you're feeling rubbish again, lots of women on my an thread say that their sickness has been going away and then coming back. It must just be B-B making his presence felt Before he can kick you hard enough to notice!

If you search google apparently there is quite a lot re superdrug ones giving false positives. She wasn't happy as she's already had 5 MC's and that was her first month since getting a high NK cell diagnosis from Coventry and she posted lots of her photos in our secret Facebook group and her photo looked like Belles, but all other tests were negative.

I'm meant to be taking progesterone from BFP/14 dpo and clexane from BFP because of the lupus anticoagulant test being positive, plus stay on metformin. I am seriously thinking about not taking any progesterone this time. I haven't had a pregnancy get past 5 weeks since I started taking it. Didn't need it for having the boys. I had a spontaneous MC 1 after a small fall at home, approx 6 weeks, MC 2 was MMC died at 6+4, and MC 3 was spontaneous 24 hours after massive pain that happened the day before that has been suggested could have been because of my blood. So not sure progesterone has helped and worried it has affected the subsequent 6 BFP's.

Yay for dtd loopy I hope you get your sticky bfp this month.

belle I can see something! But I'm by loopys friend's experience of those tests, it's times like these when I like to break out a digi. Could you get one perhaps?

Waves to ema

Well done loopy! Yes, what's this months plan?

imps very exciting though to be offered a seat!

I put on a maternity skirt for work this morning and it fell off... Few more week in normal clothes I think!

Belle I'm usually one for being optimistic about most things but I hate to say this but I know someone else who had superdrug early tests that looked just that a couple of weeks ago. She got BFN's on first response, bfn on clearblue. She is not pregnant, and doesn't think she ever was. She did a test using one of the superdrug tests in water and there was a faint line on that test too. She is considering making a complaint I think.

As for me, I had a very positive OPK this morning, and DTD tonight plus we'd done Friday so should be plenty of sperm up there, and suspect I will ovulate in the next couple of hours. So roll on the next 2 weeks!

Hi all so ive spent today with my nearly two year old Neice during an examination earlier from her in her doc mcstuffins get up she put her stethoscope on my belly and said aunty got a sore tummy ? I said no she said aww wee baby and they toddled off it was on my mind all day so I went and got some super drug early tests - ive just done one there so not FMU hubby can't see anything but I think there is defo something there what do you guys think ?

keep my scan is 14th of May at the private clinic.

Yey!
Also in terms of the over bump jeans I think it depends how big you get and how good the elastic is as I have had friends who have worn the same jeans recovering post baby and early in the next pregnancy without wierd wrinkling etc.
imps hope the vomming settles down -or the good stuff stays in while the rubbish escapes-
