Just caught up after a hectic weekend! Big hugs to those in need of them and a big congratulations to the new posters Smile

I'm thinking of picking up a CBD today, I've done 6 normal tests last week that were all positive but I'm still paranoid they were all wrong lol. I'm about 5 weeks today, would it be best to wait until tomorrow morning to do it or should I be fine testing today?

HungryHorace · 16/12/2013 09:40

Morgan, I'd agree re EPU. I hope you get some answers today. I know how worrying it is.

Silly, it's good that your cervix is shut. Good luck for the scan.

FEE, I don't think it's a mistake to have the scan. There's always worries, but I'd want to know dates if I were you!

Name, that makes sense with your tests then, doesn't it? I had no idea you could see a heartbeat this early (I'm a day behind you!). That's amazing. :-)

Choccywoccydodah · 16/12/2013 09:56

I have spoke. To the mw and she said to call the dr which I've done and I have an appt tomorrow morning. Too early for a scan so am hoping someone can help tomorrow

I hope they can assist in some way, Choccy. xx

I just found this which shows how the digi test works: www.tcoyf.com/forums/t/2818.aspx

It's really interesting. :-)

Spoke to the EPU and they said that at 8 weeks it's likely to be implantation. They didn't have any apts to offer me there and then but will ring me back later with an apt to go for a scan to check everything out.

Semi pleased they didn't seem too bothered but I still can't shift this feeling of dread. It's now giving me a massive headache, so all in all I'm not in a great place and trying to carry on at work when all I want to do is cry.

Morganlove · 16/12/2013 10:58

Oh heck, they just rang back and I'm going in this afternoon. Didn't think it would be that quick. Please can everyone have their fingers tightly crossed for me.

Got FX for you morgan

flymo79 · 16/12/2013 11:35

hi all - am just catching up after a weekend with the gorgeous nephew, six months old and making me so ridiculously broody!
So sorry to hear your troubles, choccy, I hope you get some good solid advice from the doctor tomorrow and it puts you at ease. Sorry to read about MrsMusic too, I'm sure she's not reading this but my heart goes out to her.
I'm still feeling rankly sick. Can't be bothered to do anything either which is seriously not like me as usually have bags of energy. Sat at my desk almost crying with fatigue! The wee nephew did wake in the night a good few times and have a wail, plus this wretched weather is keeping me awake with the wind and rain.... I cried at the carols by candlelight last night, and at my DP on Friday night for coming in late and keeping me up! Feel like a total wreck!
I've basically got my whole family over at the moment and keep almost telling them then chickening out. it feels weird that they don't know, but at the same time I want to have real concrete news rather than what I currently have which is very early days yet.
(sorry for epic post!)

flymo79 · 16/12/2013 11:35

oh morgan, fingers crossed for you too, I hope it all goes well xx

HungryHorace · 16/12/2013 11:45

Good luck Morgan.

Choccywoccydodah · 16/12/2013 11:56

Hope everything ok for you Morgan x

Hello ladies, well the morning sickness began at 3am this morning. Not actually been sick but was close several times. Also discovered that DH is no longer allowed to eat Reece's when I'm in the vesinity. It's smelt so strong when he was driving I nearly puked there and then. Was awful.

Good luck Morgan, and hope others suffering the morning sickness can take it a bit easy in this last week before Christmas.

Also looked at the link about digis and try as I might I can not break into my pee stick. Xmas Confused

NameToBeDecided · 16/12/2013 11:58

Hungry itreallys perfect sense, I was worried that the lines were so faint but as it works out I was only just over 3 weeks for the first test, it's a miracle I got a bfp at all Grin
Morgan I really hope everything is okay this afternoon. Fx for you. X

NameToBeDecided · 16/12/2013 11:59

Grr stupid phone 'it really makes'

HungryHorace · 16/12/2013 12:14

Name, I've got my BFP both times at 3+3. It makes for a long old pregnancy! :-/

I've left DH in charge of breaking the test open. I'll see how he does it and report back.

sharkey1187 · 16/12/2013 12:15

Hi all....

Just checking in.. Looks like me and DH have received an early Christmas present! It's looking like it's going to the 17th August for us Smile

how is everyone getting on?

miserywaterfall · 16/12/2013 12:23

Hi all. Hope everyone's feeling okay today.

Good luck this afternoon Morgan, do let us know how you get on!

I'm suffering with the UTI pain today. Was up every hour through the night to pee and my kidneys are aching. Doctor recommends taking nothing stronger than paracetamol this early on so it doesn't seem to be making much of a dent in the pain at all Sad
I am also feeling ridiculous pregnant today, keep gagging on smells and sights and just feel generally exhausted!
Had to take the afternoon off college, as I am just not able to walk the 2 mile round walk to get there, with this pain. Walking for any longer than 5 mins leaves me sore for ages after and I have to go lie down... not really an option at college Hmm

Sigh! Smile

Ruggle · 16/12/2013 12:24

My first BFP was 3+4, and the only reason I tested then was because I'd had a dream the night before that I'd given birth to a baby boy.

Water seems to be tasting like plastic these days. Anyone else getting that?

Still no sickness....yet....

yummiemummieuk · 16/12/2013 12:29

No sickness for me until I went on a bus- cue retching and my bf trying to force feed me ginger biscuits! I'm crying at everything ATM and sore boobs! Wondering if il see much on my dating scan??? (Il be 8 week a roughly)

miserywaterfall · 16/12/2013 12:37

I am chugging water and semi skimmed milk, but anything else tastes plasticky to me Ruggle!

Was having a look at my body in the mirror last night and have noticed right boob has got much rounder and bigger than left boob, lol. Hope left boob catches u soon Hmm

yummiemummieuk · 16/12/2013 12:59

Missv I feel like I'm showing already and I'm only around 5 weeks! X

talulahbelle · 16/12/2013 13:08

Had my scan today, my dates put me at 8+2 but I'm measuring slightly ahead. One healthy heartbeat heard too. Very exciting and seems more real now. Next scan in two weeks time.

miserywaterfall · 16/12/2013 13:12

Woooohoo congrats Talulah :)

yummiemummieuk · 16/12/2013 13:16

What dates should I expect scans? So far went to gp had pregnancy confirmed (urine) and bloods (all fine)
Next thing is dating scan-3rd jan when I should be around 9 weeks
Name ATM my due date is 13th too
What do all these abbreviations like DH mean?!
Clueless!

funkymonk · 16/12/2013 13:22

Welcome newbies.

I'm currently sat in hospital pharmacy awaiting progesterone supplements. Morgan I've had brown cm for 16 days now and 2x scans have been ok so far. Going back tomorrow just to check on heartbeat as they thought it may have been a little slow.
