Hugs for Isheisnthe and bubble x

Bubblebell1 · 10/02/2012 12:34

Scan Monday. Feels like forever away :-(

DeeLite · 10/02/2012 13:01

Quick update here: my scan showed all was fine with the pip so my spotting is unexplained but not evidence of a problem. I am less pregnant than I thought. Going by date of last period gives puts me at 6+5 but scan puts me at 5+6 and and apparently it's the scan date that counts. This also explains why I had very faint positives until a few days after AF was due. So, all good news.

Bubblebell1 · 10/02/2012 13:30

Congratulations dee that's great news.

Nattyw · 10/02/2012 13:53

babybrain3 · 10/02/2012 14:08

Fx for you bubble hope everything settles down soon and you get good news on Monday.

Psammead · 10/02/2012 14:11

Good luck on Monday, bubble. I hope everything is as it should be.

Welcome, NattyW!

Winnie81 · 10/02/2012 14:20

Afternoon ladies, Grin

I had my booking appointment this morning! Gosh I forgot how long it takes to go through all the paperwork. Got my pack and now I just need to wait for the hospital to get in touch for an appointment with the consultant and scans etc!

She worked me out to be 7 weeks by my lmp which gives me an edd of 27th sept, however I know that my cycle is 33 days so my calculations give me a due date of 2nd October! It's a bonus really as it gives me a week of leyway for all the tests.

She said the scan will confirm my edd anyway!

Hope everyone is feeling well today x

Afternoon all. Congrats everyone.
DC3 for me - EDD 24 Oct - please don't laugh, I like to be organised and having had two before I figured out I was PG well before I got the BFP on Wednesday! Grin

nasara · 10/02/2012 15:51

DeeLite that is fab news!

isheisnthe and Bubblebell1 {{{}}} to you both. The spotting is so worrying. I had a sh*t day yesterday, felt so down - having a more positive day today, so sending some PMA to you both.

I also have a scan on Monday, so fingers crossed for us both.

I got my 3+ today, so that has helped :)

PopcornMouse · 10/02/2012 16:24

Saw the GP this morning, booking in appt will be booked for week 8-10, I just have to wait for a letter now :)

I'm cripplingly hungry atm, is anyone else? It's constant. I can go from being satisfied to so hungry I'm shaking in ten minutes Confused and I'm eating tonnes of crap as a result.

Fingers crossed for you bubblebell

GizzyBoo · 10/02/2012 17:25

Congratulations Natty and Powderhound and welcome to the thread. Feel free to add yourselves to our stats list!

How tall are you btw?? Blush

Bubble have a {{{{{{{{{{{{x x x}}}}}}}}}}}}}} and a slice of chocolate cake. Deelites post just goes to show that a bit of spotting doesn't always mean the worst. Smile

Deelite that is fantastic news. I am so pleased for you.

Popcorn I go from starving to sick to starving again on average every 3 minutes. If I'm not eating I feel sick....after I have eaten I feel sick and have to eat again! Today though all I have had is an omelette for breakfast. Haven't known what I fancied since then. I am just baking a quiche and some cheese and onion pasties. I think that's what I fancy.

cakes82 · 10/02/2012 17:35

Had my scan both today. I'm not far enough along to tell anything more than I am pg, so got to go back again on 21st. I would say i'm 6wks today, scan was apparently suggesting i'm only 5+4. They did spot a cyst on my left ovary but they aren't sure if that is from bean or linked to the PCOS diagnosis I may have got had I not had my BFP. They seemed a little confused why my GP had sent me but given she had they needed to look after me.

Forgot to say on previous postings i'm 5ft4.
Glad all well Deelite
Hi to everyone else

Kelbells · 10/02/2012 18:44

Hello ladies,

May I join you? I've been lurking since Tuesday when I got my BFP - But started spotting the same day (Bubble, Deelight and isheisnthe, I've been feeling your pain! - Hoping for positive things for you all) I have a history of miscarriage (Nov 9w) and CP (Christmas 4w) so they were fab and saw me straight away when I phoned them Wed morning. They couldn't see anything on the scan as it's too early, but my progesterone levels are high and I finally had the results this evening that my HCG has more than doubled - So fingers and legs crossed - I finally feel ready to join a pregnancy thread!!!!!! Smile

This is my first DC and at 4 weeks I'm already feeling the nausea, fatigue, bloated belly, cravings for fish fingers, massive wind and constipation - A delight to live with - Poor DH! Grin

gizzybo ive been having the same problem? think its a pregnancy symptom? lol :o

MsInterpret · 10/02/2012 20:06

Hello everyone!

Been lurking for a while but went to the doctor's yesterday so feel I am officially on the bandwagon now. I am due very end of September so will you accept me on the October thread?! This is DC2 and I was late November last time, ended up December so expecting things to go the same way this time too!

Been feeling nauseous, TIRED, sore boobs, enormous bloated tum and sleeping badly. Definitely pregnant! Think some of my colleagues suspect already but for now just DH and I in the know officially.
