Right, so I can't start this thread using anything like..."Here we go ladies!"

So, will have to come up with something completely different....

How about Congratulations Kay!

I had the same thing with dp but he came around. Good luck hope he changes his mind.

Oufton · 14/04/2008 15:46

Thanks GeordieJogger I think I might well go for it, I guess if it comes back ok then I'll be put at rest and if not I can sensibly go to the doctors.
Sorry your DP isn't ready, I don't think there's a lot you can say to make him ready. We'd decided last year to start in January thinking it would be oh so easy and of course it's not. Wish we'd started earlier .

Nope looked there. I thought it would be under his playpen as he puts everything under there. I now think dh may have moved it out of ds's way and not put it anywhere sensible.

lardylumps · 14/04/2008 14:42

in the nappy bag??

kayzisexpecting · 14/04/2008 14:33

Can I ask a favour?

Where is my hairbrush? I cant find it anywhere. Last I saw of it ds was playing with it and now it has gone.

I am using Pregnancy brain as my excuse.

I'm hoping that pysically(sp) one of you will know where it is.

kayzisexpecting · 14/04/2008 14:16

I don't even want to think about it anymore as I don't think its anything to worry about and I know I will worry if I continue to think about it. If it was the MW would have said to go into the hospital.

So what is the weather doing where you are?
I don't understand how it can rain/hail all while it is very sunny.

lardylumps · 14/04/2008 14:14

Ohhhhhhhhhh kay I know how you feel, just keep calm and take it easy today. if it turns red go to GP but i was told as long as it is small amounts and no clotts then there is nothing to worry about and they were right then (and i had proper red blood as well)...... Big kisses and hugs coming your way.

It is difficult to get the balance between being reassuring and presenting the facts, I think!

Everyone is different so some people will not have implantation until later, if at all. The MW was correct to suggest this as it is possible, and is reassuring for you in the meantime, and you can discuss with your own MW at your appointment. It is impossible for her to diagnose over the phone.

I personally don't think it would be implantation, but I think there are a dozen other explanations, none of which are sinister (cervical or urine infection, for example). And I'm no expert...

I htink you can feel reassured that bleeds are comon, whatever the reason, and that it will be investigated with your own MW

kayzisexpecting · 14/04/2008 14:07

Fine, bit annoyed that NHS direct were useless, told me that discharge is normal in pregnancy and that its normally pink. Asked me 32 questions about me feeling sick and then told me it was morning sickness

lardylumps · 14/04/2008 14:05

Teuch is the fountain of knoledge kay.... how are you feeling now?

kayzisexpecting · 14/04/2008 14:02

But Teuch I was told by the MW that it continues to implant until about 7 weeks and that most people get a bleed around 5 weeks.

kayzisexpecting · 14/04/2008 14:01

I'll have to wait for my appointment on Wednesday with the MW and see if I can get an early scan.

NHS direct weren't very helpful at all. Asked me all sorts of silly questions and tried to work out why I have been feeling sick.

But they did say the GP shouldn't have made me an appointment to see the MW until I was about 8 weeks so I dont know why I am seeing her this week.

Oufton · 14/04/2008 14:01

Thanks Teuch, I was thinking more of the FSH testing kits you can get that apparently give an indication of "egg health" if there's such a phrase. I get ovulation pains so am pretty confident I'm ovulating but there's no guarantee that they're not hobbling out on zimmers

YouCantTeuchThis · 14/04/2008 13:59

damn, pressed 'post' too soon!!

I meant to say that it could be lots of things, and as LL says, she had bleeding and many others do too.

Try not to worry!

YouCantTeuchThis · 14/04/2008 13:58

Kay - the reason I don't think it would be implantation is that you the blastocyst (baby!) does not start producing HcG until implantation, so you would not have had a positive pg test. IYKWIM?

lardylumps · 14/04/2008 13:57

Then I would do nothing for now. I dont think there is any reason to panic at the mo. Trust the midwife....

YouCantTeuchThis · 14/04/2008 13:55

LL - as long as you know that you don't have a luteal phase of less than 10 days (are you aware of how long from OV to period from past cycles?) then CD18 should be safe! Your LP shouldn't change from month to month, although when you ovulate can...

Kay - to be honest, I don't think it would be implantation but that doesn't mean it is anything more sinister. If you are happy to wait until Thursday then do that.

Oufton - no experience myself, although I was using OPK's. I think they take a month or two to 'get' your cycle but can be very helpful. Do you have regular cycles? If so, then cheapy OPK's from ebay are good enough but unreliable if your cycles are erratic.

kayzisexpecting · 14/04/2008 13:52

No none at all. I have been checking.

lardylumps · 14/04/2008 13:51

Kay have you had anymore pink stuff since the last time?

lardylumps · 14/04/2008 13:50

Kay dont panic have you had any more since the last time??
