hi all, hope you're all ok, i did read back the posts but in my cold fuzzled brain i'm sure i've forgotten something, so appologies if i've forgotten your news.

Orange so glad the blood tests went so well. fx on my right hand for you.

wombat as the others have said brown is old, being through what we have it is even more likely to worry so i there's no point saying not too. fx on my left hand for you.

dach i'm so pleased that they've grown for you. hope everything goes well on friday for you. tx on my right foot for you.

mummya i'm so glad your dh is back on board. mine doesn't really want another baby, but knows how much i do so has given me a year from last july to get pregnant. (this was postponed for 2 months cause he didn't do his side of the bargain) still counts from sept even with the mc, so i feel the pressure of those months counting down, just like i'm sure i'm making him feel the pressure of having to perform.

tx on my left foot for everyone for this month. Sorry if i've missed anyone, the only thing i have left to cross is my legs and that defeats the object. Grin although i guess i can for the next few days as af still visiting.

Nice boots! good one! ok well, I fully expect no poas action required but we'll see!! I hate the 2ww Angry

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 10/01/2011 15:16

Aaaaggh!!!! I can't keep up!!!!

wombat deep breaths, chica, its brown and doesn't sound like much, do not panic. . Seriously, it does not sound bad, but definitely get the gp on board for an early scan to put your mind at rest (((hugs)))

dachs yay, go follicles!!! Will be keeping fx for Friday!

mummya glad dh is back in the game. I can understand your panic, it's been a long and horrid road for you and to be faced with ttc now must be pretty scary. Even more so if you feel there's time pressure. Ditto what aandr said because I can't put it any better! Maybe it's best just to try and accept that you're feeling scared and then go with it anyway? You know we will all be cheering you on and hoping for some early good news xxx

Will post more later - school run beckons

nickstermum · 10/01/2011 15:23

wombat thats good... I have discoloured CM today and the your heart stops when you see it lovely.... sadly doesnt get any easier!! I also feel as sick as a hound today (funny nausea kicks in at 10 weeks!) so i am taking reassurance from that and very sore tender boobs today!..

Step away from Dr Google though... from every webpaage i clicked onto all I saw in my minds eye that it was a symptom of MC!

OrangeGloss · 10/01/2011 16:14

((( Wombat ))) if it's any consolation my dr at epu said some women can bleed "buckets" and be fine, or not have any and end in mc. I think a too-early scan could make things worse, from what I've read 8 weeks is a good time. Fx dr puts your mind at ease. And try not to google - easier said than done
Dachs that's fab news, some there already and others nearly ready, sounds good for Friday. Do you have anything planned for the weekend to take your mind off their progress?
YRMOTB good work on the free stuff :)

We went to see The King's Speech at 12.30, and I nipped into the loo before it started, and had a pad full of red :( and was in such a state we had to go home. DH kept reminding me what the dr said about it not necessarily being a sign, but all my earlier zen has gone now. I feel like I'm waiting to mc :(

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 10/01/2011 16:25

(((( orange )))) hang on in there!!!! Keep reminding yourself the sac was there, measuring correctly, your bloods were fantastic..it can and probably will be ok. Take it easy and get some rest...we're all thinking of you and willing on bean orange x

DachshundsWantPuppies · 10/01/2011 16:27

oh orange sweetie,

I have my FX that it is not as bad as you fear, but I know that no amount of us saying that will make you feel any better. I hope you have lots of real life support at the moment and I'd demand some more medical attention if you need it. We are all thinking of you.

nickstermum · 10/01/2011 16:29

(((ORANGE))) :( feet up xxx

cep · 10/01/2011 16:30

oh Orange i'm so sorry you're still getting the blood. Please try and listen to dh and izzy. Did you talk to the dr again? will they do another scan? Put your feet up and try to rest.

Wombat33 · 10/01/2011 16:34

Oh Orange. I'm willing it to stop. You poor thing. When's your next check-up/scan/blood test?

OrangeGloss · 10/01/2011 16:58

Thanks guys, the dr said don't worry if I bleed again as she's seen women lose loads and been fine. Doesn't stop it getting to me though. My scan's on 23rd as she thinks it'll give it lots if time to grow

Velvetcu · 10/01/2011 18:07

orange sorry you are bleeding it must be tough just waiting :(

Congrats on the follie growth Dachs

YRMOTB I promised myself I wouldn't POAS until at least 4 days late but I have found myself wondering if 15 dpo (next weekend) is ok! Dont let me do it!!

Wombat as everyone says - brown is ok (not that I know anything about successful pgs)

Hi to everyone else!

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 10/01/2011 18:31

velvet 15dpo sounds perfectly reasonable!! Why would you wait longer? Remember the "average" lp is 14 days so for many people 15dpo would mean af is late.

Btw - and so I can get my suspenders on - which day do you get to 15dpo?

Velvetcu · 10/01/2011 18:54

lol Izz I wouldnt bother with the suspenders - temps have gone down to post-ov level so I dont think its my month.

On the plus side, I won £10 on the lottery on sat - thats £30 this month so far :)

DachshundsWantPuppies · 10/01/2011 18:56

plenty of HPTs you can buy with £30... Wink

nickstermum · 10/01/2011 19:21

can you post your chart velvet?

orange tis true.. a friend of mine was hospitalised for a week due to excess bleeding during pg... baby;s fine. I didnt bleed at all, and MC! Goes to show, you never can tell!

Ooh velvet 30 quid, you will be up for the jackpot next month...

Wombat33 · 10/01/2011 19:46

Ooh velvet £30's pretty good! Are you going to treat yourself to something nice?

Doc thinks I may have a UTI Hmm (bear in mind this is the doc who tested me 3 times for UTIs because of pain after my mc but never found anything...). On the upside I haven't had more brown since earlier. I am v sore down below though. Maybe it is infection? Anyone got any idea if that's common?

He's also going to try and arrange an 8 wk scan. Only 3 weeks to go. Can't begin to believe I'll get that far but we'll see!

nickstermum · 10/01/2011 20:04

Wombat was it you who had the staph infection after mc? could it have re-occurred? would it be worth havig a vaginal swab done? I have had 3 diff infections since MC :(

kat2504 · 10/01/2011 20:10

orange that must be so hard still having bleeding but try, if you can, to hang on to the good news about the sac and the bloods being really good. I also had no bleeding and still lost the baby, many people bleed and are fine. Really really hope that it is a good outcome for you. It must be so hard waiting I'm sure.

MummyAbroad · 10/01/2011 20:51

Bugger. After one night of SWI I am going to have to go back on the WTTC list! I had no response from my doctor in London (I asked him to confirm that it was definitely OK to TTC) so I wrote to the best AS surgeon in the world, he replied this morning saying I should have an HSG and then a mid cycle scan before I go ahead and TTC.

Just got the HSG booked, but the earliest I could get is Thursday and I will be CD13 by then, so this month might be a right off.

Bugger Bugger Bugger Bugger.

Velvetcu · 10/01/2011 20:56

lol Dachs dont encourage me to buy HPTs you naughty lady! It just makes me wanna use them! I feel much calmer if I dont have any here (there are 2 here atm)

Wombat DH has already nicked my winnings!

Nix chart is here www.fertilityfriend.com/home/31a8bd not particularly interesting apart from definate ov this month opposed to last and my cycles are settling down nicely (about frikkin time!!) :)

Anyone good at Physics here? I am a science teacher and teach bio/chem up to a level but didnt do Physics a level when i was at school so im teaching myself it now! First exam is Weds morn and my brain feels like its gonna explode!

DachshundsWantPuppies · 10/01/2011 21:05

Well I'm a tax accountant now but I've got an Astrophysics masters so if you have any questions I might be able to help with some of them...

DachshundsWantPuppies · 10/01/2011 21:06

(although it was 10 years ago so i might be a bit rusty!)

cep · 10/01/2011 21:20

wombat uti's/bladder infections are v common during pregnancy.

mummya oh no i'm sorry how frustrating. did the london dr not get back to you at all then?? how rude.

velvet sorry nope absolutely awful at any type of science.

orange hope you're ok.

on a personal note, my af is due to leave over next couple of days, she's starting to pack her bags. all i've focused on is starting again and now it's nearly here i'm starting to get rather nervous. i'm worried about all the stressing about it, and worried it'll take longer than i have got. And mostly worried it'll all happen again. i know statistically i have no higher risk but i never thought it would happen to me in the first place. i'm sorry that this is rather pathetic considering everone elses worries and i'm only on cycle 1 so shouldn't really be worrying yet, but i am a worrier.

Velvetcu · 10/01/2011 21:31

hi cep sorry you are getting anxious already. I was exactly the same, gave myself a time limit of due date and was stressed, obsessive and miserable until I reached that goal post. Now I'm past that, i'm still a little obsessive but not so miserable :)

Don't apologise for posting anything you are feeling - we have all been there so understand completely and it helps to get it off your chest.
