[sparklesandfizz]

So BFP this am. Edd 30/1/16 however this is dc4 and the othe 3 have all been at least 2 weeks late.
Starting this thread to preserve my sanity next January. If I join the jan lot I'll be left on my tod so...I'm 35 this will be dc4 if all goes well, cycle 2 of trying so feeling blessed.
Roll up roll up, come and join me clutching your BFP and wondering exactly what you've let yourself in for x

Is it easy to add stats? I'm on an iPhone / iPad

You need to add stats on a pc, we can add them if you post them here.

I was able to add mine from my phone I believe (perhaps someone could check that I am on there?). However I do have the Google sheets app as I was in charge of the May bus stats :)

Ah thanks jelly, it was the pregnacare ones I wasn't getting on with so perhaps I'll stick with these smelly ones for now

Yes, if you can get Google sheets or drive on your mobile device, you can update the spreadsheet from there.

jelly you'll be amazed at how many people just want to give you their old baby stuff. You think they're being really generous until you end up with a house full of stuff and get desperate to palm it off onto other people NCT sales and other second hand sales are also a good place to get bargains. It really doesn't need to be expensive.

Donut I'm so sorry, hope you are ok

I'm still having lots of bad cramps and a lot more on my right side then left. I have booked myself a private scan for Friday, I won't even be 5 weeks and they have told me that they might not be able to see a yolk sac yet but I need to know if it an ovarian cyst causing all the pain and put my mind at rest! I have PCOS. I'm going away for DH's and my only bit of holiday this year on Sat and don't want to be on a Greek Island for a week with an ectopic! Won't be back till I'm 6 weeks, I kind of don't want to go at this very fragile time!

My mum got really angry with me for booking the scan, I was like it is my money I can spend it how I like but that wasn't it. She was cross that I might not go on holiday if they see an ectopic and wants me to still go and then deal with it when I get back! At this point I got really cross and was like don't be so f stupid, why would I risk my health and lose a Fallopian tube, if they see something of course I'm not going!!!

Am I overreacting?

Rufus I really hope it isn't an ecoptic! However if it is then you should definitely get it seen to straight away, does your mum not known that ecoptics can be life threatening?

Just started to pass brown tinged discharge, only tiny tiny bit but really upset. I've called my gynaecologist and they are doing the forms for HCG 48 hrs apart so just need to drive to London to get tested. Been told brown is fine only red needs to be worried about but having been through so much to get here and I want it so bad. Crying now.

Rufus try not to worry, some brown discharge can be fine in early prenancy.

I've gone onto the spacefem website but I can't see the bit that says the % mc by day. What section is it in?

Rufus

Cramps and brown discharge can be entirely normal, but if you've got reason to be concerned, you should listen to your instincts. The only thing is that you may not get anything conclusive either way at this stage. Would it be worth seeing if you can get hcg bloods done, as I think they can give general indicators around the likelihood of ectopic too.

Sorry you're going through this. Keeping fingers crossed for positive progress.

Sorry Rufus, missed your last post. Hope you get happy answers soon.

Sorry to hear that Rufus, stuff like that is so worrying. Even brown discharge needs to be checked out; I had it with DS1 and he was born happy and healthy if a little late but with my previous pregnancy it signalled the start of my MC. I'm not scaremongering, I promise, I just can't bare to see people being told 'brown blood is ok' because sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. Hopefully you can get checked out soon and get a very happy result

Please don't cry, we're all here for hand holding. That little bean won't want you crying. Do you have someone with you?

rufus so sorry you are going through this, fingers crossed it's ok

On my own, had a massive cry, feel a bit better. Cramps are getting worse and feel more like AF pain where as previous cramps felt like something burrowing into my uterus. My mum is going to leave work and meet me at her house to go with me for my blood test. Apart from the upset I'm completely needle phobic so need someone to hold my hand.

It's great that your mum's going to be there love. Keeping everything crossed for you and hand holding x

Ruffus

Rufus thinking of you and hoping all is okay.

Cheesy google spacefem and miscarriage and you'll get the link. It's interesting - I wonder if the % are if you have had a healthy scan on a certain day (e.g. a healthy scan at 7w0d gives you only a 3.9% chance)? That would make more sense.

Thinking of you and crossing fingers for you rufus xx

Take care Rufus

Sorry I hope you didn't think I was saying it was ok to have brown discharge. I just meant that it doesn't necessarily mean the worst. Fingers crossed for you rufus and I'm glad your mum is coming to be with you.

I found the page, thanks mawsy.

Donut I'm sorry. I hope you are being looked after .

Hope all goes well Rufus, glad your Mum is coming to be with you.

Sorry to hear that rufus and I hope your tests give good results. It must be worrying for you and I can understand you not wanting to travel.

I've written a list of ten things I want to tell/ask the GP about when I go tomorrow! Including stuff about mc in the past, pain to the right of my uterus and questions about medication. Given the short appointments these days it's going to be a bit of a quick fire round for her!

It has turned pink now and cramps are getting worse

Thanks jelly
