hi all, how are you all doing?

back from our holidays and just catching upwith everyone.

flowerfairy · 27/06/2008 22:16

big hugs cathers-hope things work out. sometimes i find i have to take a break from this page or i get too obsessed and end up getting everything out of perpective. that's not to say i don't feel grateful for everyones suupport and kin d words. but yo know...

All the best thinking of you

cathers · 27/06/2008 20:46

Hi Flower - you're right been lying low. Rang docs, who advised me to wait and see, after I knew the risk signs from last m/c, and go for check up next week. Think m/c is almost at end, so will go along to docs to ask for inital blood tests and referral to fertility clinic. Hopefuly, will be successful!

flowerfairy · 26/06/2008 18:51

Any news cathers or are you lying low for a while?

dinkyboysmum · 24/06/2008 20:51

sorry to hear that cathers - hang on in there.

cathers · 24/06/2008 18:40

Thanks everyone for lovely thoughts - I feel though emotionally drained, from complete happiness to dispair in 48hrs cannot be good for you. Nice to know not alone and not a freak.Sometimes feel though i'm the only one not reproducing! Thanks girls x

flowerfairy · 24/06/2008 18:31

Cathers sorry to hear your news, fingers crossed that it is like heron said-just an early bleed. Big hugs to you.

heron22 · 24/06/2008 18:14

Oh Cathers, i am so sorry to hear that

i hope it is not m/c, sometimes bleeding just happens and pregnancy still continues properly.

queenie1 · 24/06/2008 14:09

So sorry to hear that Cathers. Poor you and big hugs to you. I can imagine how you might be feeling - similar things keep happening to me too. I've also started posting on the mc thread so may see you there...

cathers · 24/06/2008 13:21

Sorry to put a dampener on things but started bleeding today after BFP yesterday . As had m/c back in Feb I think the same is happening again, quite heavy red with cramping pain. I can only be 5 weeks and have appointment at doctors next week to get his opnion on whether to treat for recurrent m/c or subfertility.
Good luck everyone else ..(skulks over to m/c thread)

heron22 · 23/06/2008 20:24

hi cathers, CONGRATS!!!! you must be so dazed and happy at the same time

hi flower, have u tested yet? a first response test stick should be able to pick up pregnancy hormones 2-3 days late.

i am doing well, bean fine (as far as i know)have nuchal and blood tests and CVS on 16th July. so keeping low profile about my preg until i get the results.

it is a neverending cycle of worry, this whole pregnancy baby thing

dinkyboysmum · 23/06/2008 20:23

hey, congratulations cathers!

flowerfairy · 23/06/2008 18:43

How's things going heron? Haven't seen you around for abit?

flowerfairy · 23/06/2008 18:35

congratulations cathers, that's great news.

as for me af no show still and cramps still coming and going and a bit of nausea, but determined not to read anything into being 2-3 days late (skulks over to pg testing kits site to see what earliest delivery date is)

cathers · 23/06/2008 14:18

Hi all,
Just a quick update - AF was due last week and HPT showed BFN....however tested today after still no show and ..wait for it.. BFP. Can hardly believe it after almost a year, but it is bloody typical as have docs appointment next week to start blood tests off for subfertility and DH away for 2 weeks!
Had to share news with you all - good luck to all still waiting x

heron22 · 23/06/2008 08:01

hi flower, hows it is going? have you tested ?

flowerfairy · 22/06/2008 18:24

no not yet, af still not showing, still getting cramps. Trying to be calm and not build hopes yet. But unusually for me don't feel depressed in last few days. Nipples absolutely wreck, thought i was going to have to go braless around tesco this morning, sports bra feels a bit tight. Reading too much into the tiniest thing i know.

hows it going flowerfairy? tested yet?

chocciedooby · 19/06/2008 22:19

I always go by CD1 being the first day of red blood.
Can anyone else confirm this is correct please.

dinkyboysmum · 19/06/2008 21:25

ah, sorry choccie, it wasnt to be this month for us!
can i ask...is cd1 the first day of full bleeding, or the first day of spotting? hoping this will be my month & want to amke sure i get dates right!!

flowerfairy · 19/06/2008 20:56

Ok, ok can't resist to update you all. Af due sat 21st as have been very regular since dec. Have had very few pms symptoms this month, apart from crampy tummy for last fortnight, on and off. but hurrah no horrendous boob pain have very bloaty tummy feeling today and nipples keep having the odd twinge. can't remember much other than the cramps from first pg and nasty taste. Am just trying to be patient and not think about it onw way or the other. Secretly always hope for bfp, but think it is unlikely even though bd at right time.

chocciedooby · 19/06/2008 10:47

AF has finally arrived!!!!!!!!!Now onto the next cycle

chocciedooby · 18/06/2008 09:57

Oh DBM....enjoy this next cycle.
I thought my AF was coming yesterday as boobs were still really sore and had some very light staining (sorry tmi)but no big gush or any red blood ans now this morning nothing again. I think I am like you DBM and its teasing me before it becomes full blown.

dinkyboysmum · 17/06/2008 19:45

wel...Af turned up on sunday, but only really really lightly, tried to convince myself it was implantation bleeding especially no AF yesterday, but alas the old witch has got me properly now! here's to next cycle....
