LovelyMonster- a better time will come for you.,

Lully congrats and good luck!

Spats- I've just sat down with my diary and I think I'm on CD7 too. I got some OPKs for this month and it said you should count your first day of FULL menstrual flow as CD1, I had spotting on the sunday and Monday, but the real thing on the Tuesday, so I'm counting that as CD1. That means my cycle was 31 days and I should start peeing onto the stick on CD 15 I think. I hope the smily face does not come up until the Friday as I won't see my DH until then!! Although he'll be 2 hours away, so maybe I can insist he comes home!

And congrats lully!!!

Hi ladies.

Congrats tinker. Hope that little bean sticks.

Some bad news from me. I started some spotting yesterday afternoon which has contined. Went for a scan this morning and pregnancy is no longer .

Feel quite drained and obviously disappointed but not devistated as I know all along that something was not quite right, We are looking at the positive side of what has been such a emotionally draining week (at the same time having reletives staying), and feel like this is a good sign as we did actually get pregnant and all the 'bits' are working. Although one of my overies did look slightly polycystic but not enopugh so to be concerned.

We have been given the backing by the consultant to continue with our fertility investigations that were supposed to happen this month! I was worried that if I told the gp I had concieved that these would be cancelled.

I am really glad that I now know exactly what has happened and not in limbo anymore. we are really looking forward to getting back to normal and starting again!!! Thanks for all the messages of support!!!

Good luck to everyone this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!

keep in touch tinker!

Tinker3 · 20/10/2008 09:37

Lully - that's great! It's such good news but as you say - I hope our BFP's are here to stay!

Think I will get bleed checked out, although I don't want to make a fuss? TMI, but the blood is dark red/brown and sticky... Enough to stain knickers but not enough to wear a panty liner... I just don't know, it's all so new!!! Aghhhh.

Wishing · 20/10/2008 09:22

COngrqatulations tinker 3 and lullymumma of one!! tink try not to worry , get to docs if you can it isnt unusual to bleed in early stages and some people bleed throughout being pg!! really try not to panic, i knwo its not easy but get to docs to put your mind at rest

good luck to all!!! xxxxxxxx

LullyMummaOfOne · 20/10/2008 09:01

Hello Ladies, im just catchin up with everything as i wasnt MNing this weekend. After having a negative on Friday i only went anfd got a BFP on Saturday & sunday morning. I even used my free clearblue conception indicator one and that also said PREGNANT!!
I cant quite believe and i really hope this one is here to stay! I dont really have sysmtos yet just tender boobies and feeling bloated in lower tummy.

Tink are you going to see the Doc about your bleed?

Tinker3 · 20/10/2008 08:53

Well, I still have a BFP but bled quite a bit yesterday - really worrying. I think the hard bit it is trying to relax and phyiscally stay pregnant.. I keep checking and reading up on stuff - it's all so consumming!

Really hope some of you have had good news over the weekend?

Wishing · 20/10/2008 08:52

hello all!

thanks very keen 4 a bean! Lovely monster i would definately go to docs and plead for a scan or something - this must be sending you crazy!! thinking of you!

good luck with bding spatz - im still on wth 2ww cd 26 of usually 29 days! so still everything to hope for - one minute i sure i am then i tell myself not to convince myself and cause more upset but this is so difficult!!

love to all

xxxxxxxxx

VeryKeenForABean · 19/10/2008 15:40

Good luck Wishing, fingers crossed for you!

Congratulations Tinker!! & Welcome back Spats. good luck at the w/e!

Lovely Monster, as I have said before, plenty of people bleed in early pregnancy (and later) and all is well. However - and please understand I have no wish to worry or upset you, and I speak from a different place - it does sometimes mean things aren't right. I think no health professional is going to need persuading to scan/monitor you and if you get any pain or odd symptoms you should seek help promptly. Hopefully, any investigation would show all is well and you can relax and enjoy - fingers crossed for you.

I have started spotting today, so think AF is coming for a late stay. Have tested a few times over the last few days, but BFNs Why does she have to be late when i am so aware of my days?! Am now worrying such a long cycle means I may have trouble (always worrying about something!!)

Baby dust to all

LovelyMonster · 19/10/2008 10:30

Hi all,

Well another positive test this morning. Still sore boobs and wow feeling nauseous for the first time this morning.

Would hcg still be in my system now if I had had chemical pregnancy (what I thought was af started last sat). Dont want to believe this is real just in case it all fall apart horribly.

Good luck for bding spats!!

spats · 18/10/2008 10:57

just catching up with thread, lose track of all that has happened. Congrats Tinker. LovelyMonster i hope it all turns out OK. Just brought OPK for round 4 of ttc. wE ARE going to London next weekend which will be good timing for BD. I am on CD7, anyone else around this? Have goodweekend. Its a lovely sunny day down south. x

LovelyMonster · 18/10/2008 10:23

Still testing positive and very sore boobs so still hope i guess. Will go and see doctor sometime this week. Last period was about 13th sept so 5 weeks today. I might try to convince dr that i need scan to exclude eptopic (that could explain normal bleeding?)

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend!

Tinker3 · 18/10/2008 09:12

Hi there Wishing - lot's of luck to you!!! Lovely Monster - any change?? Have you seen a doc?! Finger's crossed...

Wishing · 17/10/2008 19:59

Hey everyone - hope ots ok to jump in, i have a week to go til af is due and i have a few symptoms and this month i really feel like i could be! well im really hopeful anyways!!

congratulations tinkers thats great news!! hope we have loads more bfps to follow!! Lovely monster i dont have any advice in your situation, but like ray81 suggests maybe visit your docs and stretch the truth!

good luck

xxxxxxx

ray81 · 17/10/2008 17:02

Hi lovely monster.

When i had my Mc the hcg only stayed for a few days if that. Its not long. If you are still getting positives then i would say you are def PG
How many weeks since af, not this month but last??? the docs will scan at 7 weeks past last af before pg but i know for a fact they can see it at about 4 weeks as my friend had a scan then and it showed clearly.

If you go to doc and stretch the truth a little they should scan you. Worth a try surely.

beckyjamie1 · 17/10/2008 13:15

fingers crossed for you lovelymonster had a look and couldnt find anything either on how long hcg stays in the system. hope everything goes the ways you want

LovelyMonster · 17/10/2008 13:05

Congrats tinker, what brilliant news for you!

I had another BFP this morning with digital test. Stll worried that I had chemical pregnancy as had af last saturday. Any know if hcg would still be in system? Cant seem to fing anything on internet. Think I will keep testing maybe every second day this week to see if bfp stays or goes.

Fingers crossed fro everyone else

beckyjamie1 · 17/10/2008 12:59

im sure i just convince myself i could be preg so well that auntie flo actually belives it and doesnt arrive till a week later!!!

LullyMummaOfOne · 17/10/2008 12:54

I had a BFN last night so im really not holding my breath this month. My DH still thinks its to early for my body to fall PG again (after MC in July) but there are so many stories on here that im sure there is hope yet even if its not this month!

Keep us posted Tink, hope all goes well for you

Tinker3 · 17/10/2008 12:48

Don't forget, I had BFN last Sat and on Tuesday with early tests...!! There really is hope!

ray81 · 17/10/2008 12:41

There is hope for the rest of us yet.

beckyjamie1 · 17/10/2008 12:41
