Charter's Anonymous: Volume 3, here's to better luck this time for us all!

[spilttheteaagain]

A shiny new thread girls and hopefully we shall all get merrily up-duffed with sticky beans

Whoo, hoo BabyA - cracking going. MiniG got wees within a couple of days but poos have taken months and months - think we have cracked it now though, no accidents for a couple of weeks (touch wood). And as he's two and a half and a boy I'm pretty proud of him too!

MrsA I think as Nix so aptly pointed out it is the law of sod. But DH is proud of himself!

If last time is anything to go by I better start eating fast as I have about 1-2 weeks before all I can do is lie weakly in bed sipping water and taking anti-emetics. And puking up my three teaspoons of tomato soup. What fun.

Hoping your weekend is egg filled.

ladyG we are the same wees months, poos still in pants! I say why? He says i like pooing in my pants... go figure! MrsA girls potty train so much easier than boys!! Bonkers!

GP was fine. Took blood for chick pox immunity. I have a bacterial imbalance internally which i was swabbed for pre pg. Have to go back for a re-swab today. He was re-assuring about the gloop/absence of it. The pressure may be my rubbish pelvic floor muscles, very reassuring, any probs he will get me into EPu and he booked me my first antenatal apt. Says not to fret about recurrent blighted ovum as he has never seen recurrent one, only recurrent MC. So right now as at this morning i am diffed.
(may be not tomorrow, but today i am!)

spilt IIRC you are quite young right? Could be the reason for your and DH's super fertility!

Nix that all sounds really good. How many weeks were you before when the blighted ovum was detected? Sounds like a nice doctor

terrys we're both 25. If this speck goes the distance then if it's 2 days early it will be born on our 5th wedding anniversary, and if it's 9 days late, on my 26th birthday!

Such a whippersnapper!!

Today I am 7 weeks pregnant. And it is the day I started bleeding last time. Wish me luck for getting through today (and the next few days)

Aw, Spilt - you're just a young un. Perfect child bearing age physically so you have the best chance to make this one work.

I was reading about chances of Downs and they've about doubled since last time due to age. Was 29 when had MiniG, 32 now. Scary. If I want a third I'd better crack on after this one! Especially as took AF 20 months to come back after MiniG was born.

Tis very scary i am an old bird then... 34! spilt i was 12 weeks when it was detected last time.

LadyG I hope today is uneventful for you and that the bean continues to make you sick and tired!!

Lady a scary day for you. Very much hoping it is boring and uneventful.

I've seen the GP and booked to see the MW. They are phoning the lab to check what blood tests need to be ordered and the MW will do all bloods straightaway rather than waiting until 12 weeks as is normal here. And they will book me for an early scan shortly at 6-7 weeks ish. Should be getting a call later today to confirm the blood test appointment.

She was a bit that I could know I was pregnant on CD24 (LMP 16th Nov) but I do have short cycles! Couldn't be arsed with explaining charting so just nodded and agreed I was quick on the uptake!

How's everyone?

GG thinking of you lovely, and sending sticky bean thoughts right your way x

Lady my AF took 18 months to come back after DD! And I wasn't even b/feeding!

Thinking of you as you reach the 7 week mark.

I'm hoping some of your luck rubs off on me this month ladies! So is it just me and MrsA that actually aren't pregnant now??!

WOW! getdown thats a long time. I didnt have a period for 2 years including pg time, I then conceived 4 months after stopping BF which i did until DS was nearly 2.

spilt still in shock! but a fab shock! What can they do you know? Can they give you a shot that will protect the bean? If they can protect it against HIV surely there must be something they can do with Toxo especially given the risk. Oh i do hope so :)

lady in response to your Downs question, Why dont you think about having a nuchal scan at 12 weeks? some hosps offer that as standard locally to me, others you have to pay for £180 i think. At least then you knwo and you dont have to wait til your 20 week bloods. Also supposed to be more accurate datewise than a dating scan.
Ps i knwo friends who are 38 and have had healthy beans so dont fret too much

Hello all!

I didn't have AF for 30 months - do I win?!?!

I have had 4 and now hopefully no more for another 30 months!!

LadyG all going well today?

Spilt you fertile woman - I hope the docs get a handle on your treatment / PG soon.

MrsA and GetDown - we will not leave you!!

I had Nuchal scan last time, Nix so prob will again. Have to do it privately here though which is a pain. I'm not especially worried - it's just mad that the risk has doubled in what seems like a not very long time! When I had my nuchal last time they put my risk down to the same as a 16 year olds so there you go but every baby is different!

So far, so good today Terrys. The frequent weeing symptom has kicked in. Feel more manageably sick now my cold has eased up, could still snooze under my desk though and boobs are still up a couple of cup sizes. No sign of any bleeding and my cervix had gone too high to reach apart from the very tips of fingers and what is their feels really, really hard. So that's good, isn't it? Scan is week on Monday, still ages away.

How are you feeling? Sunk in yet? Have you told DH yet? Is he excited?

wow - all these positives - lets hope its a trend! getdown I am not pg either - although I hope to rectify that this weekend :) Must dash am at work ad need to leave early to get the cat to the vet again - more expense. xx

Wow! Ladies... You have been busy and very very lucky ! Congratulations to all those who are happily up the duff:

The uncertainties of the present always
give way to the enchanted possibilities of the future.
You are destined to be great mothers
Enjoy your pregnancies and remember to have fun!

Good luck to the ones still waiting for that elusive BFP, your time will come!

Brown mucus. Down toilet. On tissue. Bugger. Bugger. Bugger.

Mouse stay calm. It doesn't necessarily mean the worst. I had this with MiniG at 5 weeks, it was fine. If it is brown that means it's old blood, most likely implantation bleeding that has been hanging around for a bit.

Call your midwife (get number from GP if necessary) and ask them to refer you to the EPU. They should be able to do scans and bloods. Do you still have symptoms?

In meantime put your feet up and call in sick tomorrow, will help your peace of mind to rest.

Big hugs.

mouse :( not what you need to stay reassured is it! Agree with GG call GP and get to epu if you can. If its too early for a scan they should do a hcg test.

My norks have decided to be very full,and starting to hurt. Sorry TMI nips are enlarged and much paler. Has your cervix only just gone high GG? mine was so low yest thats why i thought it was not good. seems higher today tho,,, bizarrely.

((((((mouse)))))) fx crossed, am sure will be fine xxx

It was a bit random at first, Nix. Up and down all over so stopped checking it and only checked it again today!

Any news, Mouse?

wow! What a thread with all these BFPs popping up all over the place - a tentitive congrats to you Spilt, you mega-fertile person you! Mouse,try not to panic,as others have said, it sounds like old blood. Fingers crossed for you x I have now made it to 6 weeks :) and am starting to pull myself round a bit, jut in time for the real sickness to supposidly kick in. Appetite is starting to return, so no doubt I'll start piling on all of those lovely pounds I have lost. People at work have noticed that I've lost weight and are saying how good I look apart from they grey face and bags under my eyes that others have commented on! My boobies are horrendous at the mo, they are so-o-o sore and swollen, I'm considering wearing some sort of sports bra to bed, as I cant bare to not wear one (I'm usually only a 36b, so I feel sorry for all you ladies with big norks!). Have got a lovely night to myelf tonight, DH is out on his Xmas do, so a cup of decaf, a pack of choccie biccies and Live Corrie is in order , although he ha left me with a stinky cat litter tray which I'm frightened to clean out

again - soz about the lack of paragraphs!

mouse to you and I am keeping my FX that it is just left over implantation blood. Keep us updated!

When did your boobies (love that word ) start hurting IfatFirst? Mine aren't doing anything atm. Although, I did have a dream last night that while writing on MN saying my breasts weren't hurting they suddenly turned rock hard!! Nope, not happened!

LadyG should I stop temping and cervix checking now? It feels like another part of my routine now.

battery and MrsA I hope you get +ve OPKs and lots of SWI-ing in this weekend!

Terry's, they started feeling a bit sore immediately after OV, but that happens sometimes with me. They started getting really sore not long after my BFP at 4 weeks. In the 2 weeks since my BFP, they have gone up a size, are rock hard, the areola have expanded and puffed up, and have lovely blue veins - sounds attractive doesnt it!? I dread taking my bra off, and find it so uncomfortable in bed.
