Oh, MrsG, how frustrating for you.

MrsGSR · 17/05/2013 11:31

Thank you all, I'm just hoping and praying now, will keep you all informed, this thread has been keeping me sane all week so I'm very grateful to you all!

MTBMummy · 17/05/2013 11:45

Hi all, thanks for the lovely thoughts.

I'm currently sat in A&E as my GP thinks she found an ectopic pregnancy.

Just have to wait now for further testing, but they have told me to pack an overnight bag :-(

TobyLerone · 17/05/2013 11:51

:( MTB. I'm sorry.

SpecificDreamRabbit · 17/05/2013 12:04

MrsG, how frustrating and worrying - sounds like it could be better news than you thought, but shocking that the first nurse delivered the information so poorly! I have my fingers crossed for good news.

MTB, I'm so sorry, do keep us updated, my thoughts are with you.

Sultanajo · 17/05/2013 12:07

MrsGSR I bet you feel all over the place! Thinking of you going thru this. Really hope you get some answers soon!

MTB will keep everything crossed for you that they are wrong, but it definitely better that they take things seriously and thoroughly check just in case. Very much thinking of you today! XxxThanks

HumptyDumptyBumpty · 17/05/2013 12:12

MrsGSR I'm so sorry they're messing you around. I do hope the news is better than expected, but we are all here either way. Hugs.

MTB god, that's awful. You poor thing. I hope it's not.

Today I have definite nausea. Grim.

MrsGSR · 17/05/2013 12:20

So sorry MTB, fx the doctors have got it wrong and everything is fine.

Foodylicious · 17/05/2013 12:26

Properly got fx for everyone, am personally banning myself from here for a few days and I am turning into a bit of a nut and need to just get on with things.
Sorry if this sounds a bit crap, sometimes hearing about what is happening/has happened for other people is really helpful, other times I think it is making me neurotic and worrying more. So like I said, good luck everyone and I may check back in a few days x x

TobyLerone · 17/05/2013 12:27

I know what you mean, foody.

enjoyingscience · 17/05/2013 12:28

Fx that they've got it wrong MTB, it's the sort of thing they are super cautious about so they might be playing it safe.

I'm still very short on symptoms. Trying to rememeber how I felt last time round, as I wasn't sick then either, but it was a fairly long time ago!

They do booking in here between 8-10 weeks too, so am seeing MW on 4th June. I guess the dating scan will be between 10-14 weeks?

SpecificDreamRabbit · 17/05/2013 12:46

My main symptom is still tiredness, although occasionally I remember to poke myself in the chest to see if my boobs are still sore!

Am spending a lot of time daydreaming too... is it too early to start planning how I'm going to decorate the nursery? Smile

Because I've only just moved house, we set up our second bedroom as a study / spare room, so there's shelves ready for books to be put on them, desks with drawers to be filled.... wondering whether to bother now! But not sure where else to put the stuff...

Maybe I need to move again, to a bigger house! Grin

Frizz1986 · 17/05/2013 12:57

mtb so sorry. Hopefully they are just being overly cautious and all will be ok.
mrsgsr sorry u have been messed around but fx it means there might be some good news for u.

Got my fx for anyone else waiting for scans/results etc. It's v hard to keep track.

Still no symptoms this end. Occasional cramps, slightly sore nipples and drinking more than normal but nothing else. Not particularly tired, not sick. Starting to convince myself it's all a dream as it seems everyone else is full of symptoms. Am only just 6 weeks (i think) so maybe things will start soon.

Told my boss this morning. Managed to get her to come to a different office and she closed the door and nodded at me. She knew what I was going to say as soon as I asked to speak to her. She was really happy for me and told me she will not say a word to anyone.
Nice weight off my mind. Now there is no one left to tell until the scan is done and we find out if the bean is still there. Only 5+ weeks to wait!

chocoholicalcoholic · 17/05/2013 12:58

Just checking in to send love to those going through a stressful and worrying time. I have nothing useful to say that hasn't been said already by these lovely ladies. Be kind to yourselves Flowers

Hope everyone else is doing ok? Nausea and tiredness has upped it's game here, house is a tip but I don't give a shit!

chocoloulou33 · 17/05/2013 14:02

mtb rly hope docs have got it wrong & everythings ok. Let us know.
To all feeling extra sicky 2day I'm right there with u. Feel awful & stuck at work. Just want to lay my head down :( got sickness bands on but they don't actually seem to be doing bugger all other than giving me sore wrists! X

fryingpantoface · 17/05/2013 14:24

mtb fingers crossed!

They said the same to me when I went in at 8 weeks with DS. Turns out they didn't know what it was, but he was ok.

My main symptoms are being screamingly tired, and also my mouth being full of saliva all the freaking time! It's driving me insane

gemma277 · 17/05/2013 14:26

So sorry for everyone having a hard time! Fx for you ladiesThanks

Sultanajo · 17/05/2013 14:26

foody completely understand where u r coming from.

chocoholic that cracked me up! I am totally with u. I saw some junk mail on the floor by the front door this morning, but the thought of bending over to pick it up was too much and just swept it to one side with my feet!

choco feel for u at work today! Its my birthday tomorrow so I booked today off to have a long weekend. I made it out of the house to get petrol and then had to come straight home after retching at the smell of petrol! My ass is gonna be huge by 12 weeks the amount of sitting still I have been doing recently! Shock

HumptyDumptyBumpty · 17/05/2013 15:09

MTB any news? I hope it's good.

MrsG anything more from your end?

I told my sister at lunch, overexcited isn't the word. I thought I might go deaf from the squealing!

extracrunchy · 17/05/2013 15:19

MTB hope everything's ok xxx

SunnySentiments · 17/05/2013 15:46

Hi all

Bad news here in afraid. My HCG level completely dropped since my last blood test, which makes sense given that my cramps and bleeding got worse yesterday. So it wasn't meant to be for me this time.

Wishing you all healthy and happy pregnancies. Hopefully I'll get a sticky bean soon. Xx

SpecificDreamRabbit · 17/05/2013 15:52

So sorry, Sunny Sad

TobyLerone · 17/05/2013 15:54

Really sorry to hear that, sunny :( Flowers

LittlePeaPod · 17/05/2013 16:11

Hi ladies

Just popped on to wish everyone well and my thoughts with everyone with cramps, spotting and worrying.

Sunny. I am so sorry to hear your news.

I a totally exhausted and struggling to keep up on here and in RL. The tiredness is the worst symptom I have. Starts about 9.30/10 am and gets worse through the day. Probably to do with my anaemia. I have my scan at 10am tomorrow and totally petrified that something may be wrong or not there at all. will be 6+4 so not sure what i will see. Last time MC started today and it was all over by next Tuesday (confirmed). Will let you know tomorrow how i get on with scan. however Although will keep up with the posts I may try and stay off for a little bit. Trying to stay really positive but as Foody articulated really well, I am sending myself into a total panic. My mc was only March this year so still very raw for me and some of the things happening are a really painful reminder for me. Sorry for the me me me me me post. Again my thoughts with everyone going through a really tough time. I hope you all welcome me back in a few weeks. FX everything sill ok for all of us.
