Lots of kissing round these parts, mwah to you all too look what you started nix

Getdown great news, congrat's

knitter bugger! sorry she got ya!

Big hug for Lady I know I'll be knicker checking and petrified when it's my turn, so really can't offer any helpful advice but... one day at a time hon and plenty or relaxing

My body is driving me nuts! I am 8dpo today and no symptoms at all! Except... yesterday, I could feel my boobs becoming really heavy and sore, I paid no attention to that because ever since my first mc, the same thing happens every month to taunt me! BUT, when I got undressed for bed I noticed I had marks from the underwire and looked in the mirror and my boobs were huuuuumongous (they had obviously pushed against the wire in their expanding state)! This morning... back to frigging normal (Gutted as for one stupid second allowed myself to think I could be upduffed! Arggghh!)! WTF is that all about??! Answers on a post card...

Have a good day all

mamap POAS!!!!!! You know you want to...

That is a definite symptom

I hereby grant you official dispensation from haddockness this month for early POAS

:)

Morning all, I'm sorry in advance that I'm not going to be able to namecheck everyone -busy day at work - but I'm thinking of you all. Just quickly to say:

hurrah!!! for Dachs's follies - that's good news!! I'm willing them on to grow loads to 18mm by Friday!!

Big hugs to Orange - hope you've got your feet up lovely xxx

Hope Mummya also has her feet up in an entirely diferent way

Izz thankk you soo much for the lovely things you said about ladies with BPF's still being welcome on here and to everyone else who is struggling a bit with the latest rash of BFPs I'm sending big hugs. I don't really know what to say because I totally understand the way you feel, it's the way I've felt over the last few months on here. I hate to be the cause of pain to any of you lovely ladies and if the concensus was ever that you wanted those of us with early BFPs to move off this thread then I would do that of course but I would very much miss all your support. I don't feel like the positive test is the end of my TTC. After all the only ever BFP I've had before ended in MC and there never was any baby. I don't really feel like I've conceived now. Just moved on to the next stage in the process. I think for me I won't really feel like I've got a BFP until I get to 16-20 wks and get good news on the genetics front. Until then I feel like I'm in limbo and I'm really appreciating all your support xxx

Welcome Chloe and I'm so sorry you have had to find yourself here. I hope your stay is short for all the right reasons.

A&R have a fab time on your hols!!!

Pink good luck with the positivity plan and I hope too 'see' you again soon x

Big hugs to Hiding if you are still lurking and I hope your break from here will help you feel stronger x

yey for the gang snogathon!

mama if its any consolation the boob thing comes and goes when you are diffed... maybe thats cos you are?!?! Ooh lets get those pom poms out again. Sounding promising! Everything crossed

Tingly nips is one to look out for. Do you have any veins, that you didnt already have? I didnt get any other symptoms til 7 weeks if that helps!!

Bee seconding mamap i am trying to take it one day at a time and get to the end of each week and think of that as a milestone. Realised today that i am 10 weeks (assuming all still ok inside) tomorrow and that is actually a quarter of the way through! Not quite sure how i managed to get that far, in hindsight seems to have gone quickly, but in reality its dragging! Hope you have managed to collar your consultant :)

Getdown i think everyone did a big whoop for you further up the thread when we realised you were diffed.

mm now i really, really do need to go and do some work!

Thanks for the nice words lovely ladies.

I should have also mentined that AF turning up now means that I'm not going to be pregnant when my due date passes - 1st of Feb 2011. And DH is going to be away...

Some of you may know that I'm not being as involved in these boards as I used to be because I'm trying not to obsess about getting pregnant again... So sorry if it just seems like I dip in and out and don't contribute and support the group much. I found the stories of other people's losses very difficult. I'm also having counselling which is fantastic and is really helping me look at my attitudes to pregnancy and motherhood.

Fingers crossed for all of you :)

chloe Hello and welcome to the madhouse. Lovely to have you here, shame it has to be this way though.

dachs Yey for that growth! Thats excellent news, so glad to hear it. So Friday is the next date, hasn't DH cancelled a weekend out to stay with you? Hope this week is relaxing and those follicles grow, grow, grow!

knitter sorry AF got you. If you read further up we had a discussion about duedates and how the days before are worse, but after is a relief. Hope it's not as bad as you think. We here if you need us, and it really doesn't matter how often you pop in, I know this threaad moves crazy-fast anyway

getdown I said it earlier, but YEY!

wombat I think I can safely say for all the non-diffed that even though we do feel a twinge of envy when everyone else gets their BFP there is no way that we would want anyone to leave or go elsewhere. It's all part of the process. (())

mamap symptoms sound exciting! Nothing here except i was a right irritable caaah yesterday, and am praying my LP is not shortening! I had roast salmon, asparagus, roasted veg and roast potatoes, a fat feast, made all the better by the fact I didn't have to do the washing up either!

mummya better out than in with DH. Hope you're well?

waves to izz velvet orange aandr nix hadrian emoo ladybee owls pv wellies wombatand the countless others i've undoubtably missed

hummmm! Don't get too excited ladies, absolutely nothing else even vaguely resembling a symptom! (Incidentally Nix I had no idea about the inflated/defleted boob thing, interesting!).

Dachs and wombat don't encourage it... I am sooooo easily led!

Knitter come and go as you please chick. We are here if and when you need us, that's what is so great about this thread, no pressure, just support Sorry you won't be diffed by your due date, if af arrives for me on Thurs I won't be before mine either and I am already anticipating how that will make me feel... I understand your pain. Big hugs xxx

Feck. Brown CM. Great. Panic stations

yrmotb x posts! If by some miracle I am diffed my dh would tell you irrational behaviour is def a symptom.... I been a right cow bag last 2 days!! grump grump!

Oh and wombat I missed that drivel about BFPs and I'm putting it down to your hormones!! ha ha ha! Yes we all that moment when an announcement is made and sometimes it's worse than others... nix knows this because I emailed her privately about it, I was really really jealous about her BFP... I just had that 'why am I still here, waiting, when others are getting BFP's' feeling and it was compounded by not being in a really great place at that time! But that doesn't mean we 'waiters' are not bloody tickled pink for each and every one of you... don't even think about buggering of you silly sod

x-posts again wombat don't panic... remember nix had lots at some point. Call your GP/epau and ask for an over the phone consultation and they will give you advice (put your mind at rest) and judge if they want to see you xx

Wombat breathe, my lovely. I had that for the whole of week 5 and part of week 6 before it finally tailed off. As MamaP rightly says, talk to GP. Try not to stress. Point and laugh at me for saying this as I spent the whole of week 5 and 6 stressing for this very reason so am in absolutely no position to tell you what to do :)

MamaP don't listen to them, 8 DPO is waaaay too early. :)

Dachs Hoorah for the growth spurt! Ace news, here's willing them on for the last little bit they need to do before Friday.

Chloe welcome & very sorry you've had to join us here.

GetDown Hoorah! Congratulations :)

wombat don't panic! "brown is not bad. Brown is old blood". Repeat at regular intervals throughout the day

mamap i'll stay away from the pee-sticks as long as you do too!

wombat how many weeks are you sweetie? Can you get in for a scan? Its probably the only thing that will reassure you, we can all tell you that "many women bleed and everything is OK" but its probably not going to put your mind at rest as much as seeing a wriggling bean would. Hope you are OK. xxx

AandRMum what a lovely post! Thank you I am officially back in the TTC sadle. Still not heard back from my doctor in London,
but now that we have started shagging I feel a lot better as I dont have to worry and stress anymore about whether we should start shagging!

I am inspired by your bed metaphor, as well as buying some new sheets a la Dach, I am going to use it as my new mantra!

Thanks for all your support Nix MamaP Chloe Dach YRMOTB wombat orange and everyone this thread is brilliant.

everyone with BFP dont go anywhere! You are all lovely people and we need your support and to hear your news and to help you through the good and bad times too.

Chloe Ashermans Syndrome is a rare condition where you have scar tissue in your uterus that prevents pregnancy, and causes miscarriage. Scar tissue can be caused by an infection, ERPC, Cesarian, or other uterine surgery. I have just had surgery to treat mine. Dont google it as there is a lot of scary and wrong information out there, it is vastly misunderstood by most gynecologists and therefore hard to get a diagnosis. Fortunately there is an international online group of 1099 women and 20 or so specialist AS doctors pooling their information. They have just turned into a NPO and are absolutely amazing at raising awareness, and helping women get the right treatment. Thank god I found them (see, google is not all bad )

Thanks all. Am breathing [just] and repeating your mantras I'm due to see the doctor this evening anyway to get 'on the system' for this pg. I'm holding on to the fact that Nix and Owl had the same thing.

I'm 5+2 by lmp and I reckon about 20dpo. I'm hoping it's just implantation or (TMI!) poss a bit of thrush or something. FGS last time there was no baby or even sac and my body held on to it for 7 weeks, I've had better sympptoms this time, so I refuse to believe it's all over already!

I considered calling the doc to try and arrange a scan for today/tomorrow, but at 20 dpo there wouldn't be anything really to see and I think having an inconclusive scan would just freak me out more than no scan at all, so I'm going to push for an early scan at say, 7 or 8 weeks and just try to blindly believe until then, unless proven wrong. Plus, my DH is out of the country and I don't really want to go for a scan without him.

Thank you so much for your support xxx

hi wombat sounds like you are holding it together! When you see the doctor this evening, can you ask about blood tests? If you are too early for a scan, perhaps you can get reassurance from monitoring the HCG level? Good luck at your appointment xxx

yrmotb Friday? I'm not holding my breath, I truly believe my body just likes to wind me up and play tricks on me once a month!!! I fully expect the ole red witch on Thurs, evil cow that she is

wombat dont panic. Like Owl said we have both had it... the MW told me at the EPU its possibly old blood from implantation. How many weeks are you now? I had it on and off over 1 week plus a day or two, that came and went. around the same time as you i think. My sister had a little also and i think she was told by MW that brown blood/old blood can take a while to come out = ie a couple of weeks.

I know its easy to say (and i couldnt not!) but dont panic! Get onto your EPU/MW unit as brown blood fits the criteria to be seen ASAP as they still class it as a 'bleed'.

Is it full on brown or are you peering at the toilet roll in the natural light of the windows? TIP - get white loo roll, get white pants and pop in a little pantliner if you think you need, but just keep an eye on it and keep gently wiping. (I still do all that now!)

One thing i will say is it seems to me that those who are experiencing early pg after an MC seem to have more 'leakage' issues.. maybe it is like AR said, the lining is very thick so some will detach when the embryo burrows? dunno... a theory i suppose!!

I'm pretty sure that is too early for a decent scan, Womble , but I wholeheartedly recommend having a massive snottering wail at your GP. I felt a lot better after I did that, at least, although it now says on my electronic GP note thingies 'Owl is shitting herself with fear'. okay maybe the doc put it more politely than that. But at least it means if you ever end up seeing a locum they know what the deal is.

Sorry Wombo X posts x

Agree wombat that it's too early to see much and that would probably make me feel worse, personally. Like mummya says maybe push for bloods? (((hugs)))

mamap FF says i'm not due til Friday, so want to try and save POAS-ing till Saturday. Yeah right, get me, like that's gonna happen. But I will try

I've just got my boots I won off here in November. Go and enter the competitions, scroll up, top right hand side. Free shit makes me happy

Ooh yrotn what are the boots like?!?!

Mummya bloods is a good idea. Maybe I can pursuade him to do those.

Nix it was only a little bit but I've put a white liner on so I can get a better idea. No more so far though so that's good.

I may be deluding myself but after my initial panic I have a feeling its going to be okay.

(remind me of this when I'm back on later having panic!)

like this

Glad you're feeling positive, what more can you do?

I am procrastinating, should be studying...
