hi everyone. I did a clear blue digital this morning (those internet cheapies are terrible) and got a BFP!
i'm still shaking with shock. Oh was already in work so i guess it won't sink in til i see him at lunchtime. Still can't believe my eyes and feel a bit tearful. Delighted.

Teds lower back pain can be a symptom!

Dualta Whoop!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!

Daisy hope the bloods went okay this morning and I'm sending you positive vibes for the follow-up appointment!

Teds77 · 13/01/2011 11:04

That's lovely news Dualta!

Hmm... the pain has spread up my back... I'm pretty sceptical about the chances of being pregnant but whilst AF isn't here there is always a chance!

PrincessScrumpy · 13/01/2011 13:05

Oooops, I left a little early. I was spotting so thought that was it - nothing more happened so I've just tested and got a BFP Grin

Now, if only dh would get out of his bloody meeting so I can tell him!

Thanks for having me, and good luck xx

Karbea · 13/01/2011 13:07

Ok i'm jumping off now (AF arrived), off to the Oct bus, see some of you there and good luck to the rest!

xx

Wombat33 · 13/01/2011 13:07

Hurrah!! Congrats PrincessScrumpy!!

Daisybell1 · 13/01/2011 14:55

Hello!

Well.....

Bloods on Tuesday were about 360, today - over 1000. So the nurses decided to do a quickie scan (just in case) and there it was on the screen Grin. The nurse told me its measuring 5.1 weeks Shock which is further along than I thought...

I've got a follow up scan in 10 days, just to check all's still growing. Am now Grin from ear to ear but must remember that we're not out of the woods yet.

Congrats dualta and Princess, and how are you Wombat?

Wombat33 · 13/01/2011 15:22

Hurrah!!!! That's great news Daisy!!! Yippee!! Grin Grin

I'm okay. Going slightly mental with worry at lack of symptoms butmy DH is back from a work trip this eve so at least I 'll get some hugs!

Do you mind me asking what they were able to see at 5+1? It's just that I'm wondering whether to book in for a private scan to get some reassurance, but I'm worried about doing it too soon in case there's nothing to see and I just end up more concerned. Was thinking I had to wait until at least 6 wks to seea heartbeat..?

Daisybell1 · 13/01/2011 15:32

Oh poor you Wombat, I didn't realise OH was away - even more time to go mental Grin

I have a piccie of my 5+1 - a black pea with a pale line around it. That's all. The only reassurance I get from it is that there is something there (ie I'm not making it up, and its in the right place).

I have to have another scan in 10 days when I'll be 6+4. They told me that at that one they should be able to see the foetal pole if all's well, but they didn't say anything about being able to see the heartbeat.

Can you hang on a bit longer? Much as I I feel great that my Poddington Pea's there, there's not a lot to see, if you know what I mean!

If you need to some reassurance now could you talk to a private clinic about whether they'd do you some blood tests? That's given me the greatest reassurance today

Wombat33 · 13/01/2011 15:41

Grin @ Poddington Pea!!

Maybe I'll look into the private blood tests, good idea.

Bye Spirita good luck on the october bus!

My non-existent pg symptoms have got even less today so I sobbed on my GP and have an HCG blood test this morning. Won't find out the results before next week but at least it gets the ball rolling Sad

GetDownYouWillFall · 14/01/2011 09:00

Aw sorry to hear your symptoms are getting less again wombat but it doesn't necessarily mean anything. What were your temps doing today? It's good the GP is giving you a blood test. Try to relax, nothing you can do.

Wombat33 · 14/01/2011 09:07

Temps went down again Getdown but again I had very little sleep and had been up to the bathroom about half an hour before the alarm went off and I took temp so not really reliable. It's not the temps that woprry me so much (although they're not helping) it's the fact that a week ago I felt pregnant and now I don't. We'll see. I'm still clutching a shred of hope that I'll be proved wrong.

greedychops · 14/01/2011 10:42

Wombat - don't know if it helps cause I cant guarantee that nothing has changed with my pg, but I felt very pregnant until about two days ago and now feel totally normal apart from a slightly sore boob!

But I also remember from previous pg that I was lulled into a sense of security (in one way) that I wasn't going to get ms, and then it hit me full on at about 7 weeks.

Daisybell1 · 14/01/2011 10:54

Hi Wombat

I'll have to be quick because I'm on a training course, but I don't feel PG either anymore (and I didn't yesterday either when they confirmed all's ok)

Am no longer queasy and not dog-tired either...

Fingers crossed for you hun xxxxxx

Wombat33 · 14/01/2011 11:08

greedy thanks for the reassurance, it does help! My problem is I feel how I felt in my last pg just before I miscarried Sad That said there are lots of success stories on here so I'm still hoping I might be in with a chance yet!

TheCake · 14/01/2011 11:44

Tested againthis morning and still negative but noAF, think I'll hop off the bus anyway. Offto Paris for the weekend so gong to get really drunk! Good luck to everyone xxx

Wombat33 · 14/01/2011 12:08

Have fun Cake!

Daisybell1 · 14/01/2011 12:41

Am now back Wombat. Just a thought but can you self-refer, or can you ask for a referal, to your EPU?

They have been brilliant with me, the care has been exception (such as blood results being back within 1hr, therefore reducing the worry of waiting), continual follow - up appointments.

And most importantly, once you're in the system, you can then self-refer again 24/7 if you're at all worried.

Are you far from a unit?

Thinking of you xx

Wombat33 · 14/01/2011 14:18

Thaks Daisy It's very reassuring that you didn't feel particularly pg the day they told you all was on track. Let's hope I'm worrying about nothing!!

I'm not that far from an EPU but they will only see me with exceptional pain or bleeding so I think I'll have to make do with the GP for now. I'm feeling a bit calmer now I've got the wheels in motion to find out what's happening, so hopefully that will tide me through the weekend.

Teds77 · 14/01/2011 16:24

Hi All

Daisy glad to hear all seems okay with your pea! Wombat good that you feel a bit calmer and reassured today. And belated congrats to princesscrumpy

No news from me however the back pain has been so awful the last day or so I've been occupied with that Angry Pretty low expectations this month until I read that upper back spasms can happen as a result of hormonal change in early pregnancy! Ha! Grin

Anyways, DH and I have agreed we'll have one more go and then head to the GP to see if we can start tests. Am hoping that various bits of DH's medical history may make her sympathetic to us getting some early tests.

Oh and tried to tidy the list up a bit!

EnglishCountryGirl · 14/01/2011 16:36

Wombat - hope everything is ok and Daisy - glad to hear everything is going well.

Tested yesterday and this morning (9dpo and 10dpo) and both negative, but I've been feeling really sick the last few days, so hoping it's just too early. We gave it a really good go this month, and only our second month trying so I know I shouldn't get downhearted if we've not been successful, but it's so hard...
