Hi Ladies,
Thought I'd check in. Seems to be a lucky thread, can't believe how many BFPs have come in over the last few weeks! I really hope everyone will graduate by the deadline, it sure is looking good!
Pinky sorry to hear AF got you this month.
Wasabi catfood in the garden IS a good sign, I'm sure Whiskas haven't changed their recipe for a more pungent version!
Yellow FWIW... I also had a temp dip a few days PO. It was actually someone on this thread who made me think it might have been a good sign, and so it was!
Also, sleeping like a log has definitely been one of my main symptoms - I'm usually a night owl, I take ages to fall asleep and then wake up throughout the night to check the time/listen to noises/jolt from a dream. Since the BFP (if not before it even!) I've been falling asleep pretty much right away and sleeping through the night. Even stranger, I seem to have lost my morning sleepiness! I did stop loosing hair in the shower around getting the BFP but that was temporary.
I really hope that you (or anyone else) don't find the listing of symptoms patronising, I'm by no means a pregnancy expert, but just wanted to reassure you.
I've had a strange week... I had the booking in appointment with the Midwife the other day and you have to fill in this long list of symptoms/family history. Well, I'd been having strange spotting for a couple of days, like rusty water or something, and had decided not to worry too much after obsessive googling and MNing seemed to show that it's normal... well, the MW was concerned and told me to go to the Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic at a nearby hospital.
After a sleepless night (and an argument with DH who complained that it was "inconvenient at such short notice" for him to go in to work late as I wanted him to come with me!!!) we went to the Clinic yesterday morning. They were brilliant and did an emergency scan. (Not too pleasant as it was an internal one, but who cares!)
It seemed to take half an eternity for the radiologist to speak, but then she turned the screen towards us and there was our little bean. The heartbeat looks like a blinking star, it's amazing!
Anyway, I'm 8 weeks and would be due for AF, and apparently some women get "hormonal" bleeds around this time. They couldn't see where the bleeding was coming from but said the bean looks healthy and everything is in the right place. They said that I might get the same again at 12 weeks and suggested pushing back the private scan that we had booked, so will now have it at 12 weeks instead. The nurse told me that if it happens again, I should come home and lay down and just take it easy.
They gave us an EDD of 02.11. and the funniest thing? They'd kept working from the LMP but I kept telling them that I know the conception date (thank you fertilityfriend!) and they just kept nodding their heads and going, well, we do go by LMP... turns out that the bean is on the dot conceived on the day I knew it to be! They had to adjust their dates by nearly a week (I ovulate early.)
Right, sorry about the long ramble.
Wishing everyone a happy weekend with babydust and AF repellent all around!
