Morning - definitely in too good a mood this morning for the hut - not sure why the good mood, but not going to question it while it lasts!!

Anyway, 37.83 this morning, so up a little from yesterday. 11 DPO (well 11 days high temps - when do you count ov from, the day before temp rise or the day of temp rise?)

speak later

Its outdoor... so will probably shrivel vital bits up... lol

Honestly Greedy don't feel bad about anything... I wish I had know you guys when I was pregnant, probably would of calmed me down a lot..

LOL - Might take my costume just in case

greedyforbabies · 04/02/2007 20:27

thanks rahrah. i thought it would be too early to see a heartbeat too. the consultant told me they dont scan you unless your HCG levels are above 1500 and if all is ok mine should definately be above that now cos they wwre nearly 1000 last wed. not sure what to expect tomorrow really, guess i will just have to wait and see.

i am starting to feel bad coming on here and harping on about my pg, so i will give it a rest!

lets get back to you having sex in the pool! i have always found lubrication a problem when trying to do it in water!

rahrah1 · 04/02/2007 20:07

It still quite early for morning sickness, I'm sure it will come. But remember every pregnancy is different.
If the bleeding was due to a problem that would of ended the pregnancy in MC then it probably would of happened by now. They classed my episodes of bleeding as threatened M/C, they should then monitor you much more carefully. I have seen somewhere that if you have had a threatened M/C Brazil nuts are meant to help??

Like you said a scan will put your mind at rest, hopefully you will be able to see a heartbeat tomorrow and that everything is OK.. Trouble is sometimes they can't see a heartbeat this early...

rahrah1 · 04/02/2007 20:00

Hi greedyforbabies - cross posted...

Not sure on the chlorine, but it cant be much if we conceived...

Nope we did not ask her first....we told her after the event

I was really embarrassed when I first meet them, as her and her DH (DH stepdad) talk about sex quite a lot... In my family it something you do on the quiet...

greedyforbabies · 04/02/2007 20:00

yes! i forgot about your morning sickness fettle! that HAS to be a really good sign doesn't it? i am willing mine to kick in! i used to get it when i was hungry with my other pgs so i let myself get really hungry today so i would hopefully start wretching, but no luck!

greedyforbabies · 04/02/2007 19:58

fettle - i am sure it is nothing to worry about anyway, but you need some reassurance dont you.
i have had more blood today, but i would call it spotting not bleeding. quite bright red though which is always more of a worry. hopefully tomorrow will ease my mind a bit.

rahrah1 · 04/02/2007 19:56

Hi fettle, Sorry you have had some more bleeding.. but the morning sickness is a good sign, very positive. I know it is awful and your mind plays tricks on you as well. I would go to you EPU just to get some reassurance, at least ask for a scan for when you can see the heartbeat. The brown blood is ok, as that is just old blood....Have a relaxing evening and put your feet up. X

greedyforbabies · 04/02/2007 19:53

fettle - the sooner you get scanned by your epu the better. hopefully it will put your mind at rest, so get down to your docs tomorrow and DEMAND a scan!

greedyforbabies · 04/02/2007 19:51

wow rahrah! how liberal is she???? did you ask her permission first before you did it in the pool?
so what effect does chlorine have on the solubility of semen then?

Hi All

Hope you all had good weekends?

Mine was ok - it was lovely to see my sister, but unfortunately I had some red spotting which I noticed during lunch on Saturday. I'd had a small amount of brown spotting in the morning. Spoilt that day a little bit, as DH and I were supposed to be going out to the cinema in the evening and for a meal, while my sis babysat DD, but ended up all going home on the bus (amazing how you can entertain a 2 year old in London!!) and watched the rugby. So it was a lovely afternoon, but I could have done without the worry. Had no more spotting since then, but spent the whole weekend running to check, as I keep feeling like I'm gushing blood - very disconcerting! Not quite sure what to do - think I'll see how I am in the morning and ring the GP and find out how to get seen by the EPU. Been retching all afternoon and evening at the slightist thing, so hoping that a good sign, but still terrified. All I had before my 1st mc, was a small amount of spotting as I've just had.

Anyway, hopefully it will all be ok.

Ready, glad to hear you feeling a bit more positive, I'll back Greedy and MrsMC and say that this is your cycle. I also think that Wales will be lucky for you again Rahrah, but at the pool!!!! Sorry you are feeling low, Rah. How often I tell you how incredibly strong you sound, won't actually make you feel any better. I hope your DH gives good hugs?

Hope everyone else is doing well? Glad to hear the bleeding has slowed down Greedy and hope the scan tomorrow shows some good news.

MrsMc, I hope the test goes well tomorrow - I'm sure it will. Are you feeling any more pg at the moment?

BBW - did the chest freezer arrive? I hope you have some good news on Saturday!

Mum03 - hang in there. Most people don't actually ovulate on CD14, its a myth!! have you any other signs, which might make you think you have or are ovulating?

Honey - hope you and DH have had a good weekend !!

Lottie - how you doing? Nearing ov time?

Minxi - I am so sorry that AF arrived - I was feeling so positive for you. I hope you have managed to have an ok weekend. Take care.

Ok, have I missed anyone? I hope not and if I have it is not on purpose.

take care

Oh forgot to say... Husband had a fumble in the jungle today... so trying hard! Also going to Wales on Wednesday, so we will be nice and relaxed.. Hopefully will ovulate then. Lucky DH's mother is quite liberal about sex, last time we did it in her swimming pool we think that was were Bertie was conceived...... But its a bit cold at the moment, might have the opposite effect on the old man and his equipment!

rahrah1 · 04/02/2007 17:12

I'll hold you to that Ready!

Also went shopping... Tried on some trousers... How to put myself in a big fat mood! my arse has got even bigger!

So brought a bath mat and some new underwear..

Rah - thinking postive for you, get jumping on dh quick...

Anyone else think that this thread is long enough and time to start a new one?

rahrah1 · 03/02/2007 19:03

Anyone got any magical feelings about when I might conceive? ...I'm feeling down today so need cheering up.. Mine needs to be an Oct or Dec baby, as Bertie was born in Nov so thats his month

Ready · 03/02/2007 17:36

MrsMcJnr, from what I could gather, when I looked into it briefly, it is possible to wear lenses during childbirth. The midwife should be notified of the fact, so that if medical intervention is required, they would know to take them out.

rahrah1 · 03/02/2007 16:51

Still no sign of ovulation from me, but will do the business tonight ... I think it will be on CD18-20, as last month it was CD20

MrsMcJnr · 03/02/2007 16:25

Lottie ? PMSL at your loo analysis, luckily for me, I am too short-sighted to see things like that (awful thought just crossed my mind ? can you wear contact lenses in labour I wonder, I am not having the fist glimpse of my baby through steamed up glasses!)

Fettle ? trust the scientist love your research hon! Hope you are having a great time with you sis. I?m off to visit my littlest one next weekend

Minxi ? sorry to hear about AF hon, very disappointing. Same thing always happened to me, that?s why I never got to test much whilst TTC. Better luck this cycle. My advice, for what it is worth is REALLY get busy, seemed to work for us.

BBW ? I?ll be hoping and praying for a BFP for you next Sat!

Greedy ? for what it?s worth, DH and I are both feeling frisky too! So glad the bleeding?s stopped.

Glad to hear you are feeling better today Ready that?s more like you. IT WILL HAPPEN, promise! I?m with Greedy, February for an October/November baby sounds like it?s got your name on it.

Hey Honeyapple, how are you? And Rahrah? Busy?

Ready · 03/02/2007 14:37

Well... if you can spare the time from your filthy dreams, and dream about me getting pregnant... then that would be most appreciated. I would be able to relax this cycle safe in the knowledge that it is going to be my month!!!

greedyforbabies · 03/02/2007 14:29

yes ready THIS is your month! i dont want to piss anyone alse off though by not telling them its their month too, but i do have a feeling about you!!!!
actually i am a bit psychic about pg, cos years ago i had a dream that one of my friends was pg and i rang her the next day to tell her and she was 11 wks pg! i had the same dream with her second pg too! but when i phoned her that time she said " i could be cos we are trying, i am due on in 2 weeks ask me again then!"
so that time i predicted it as she was concieving! SPOOKY HEY!!!!!
