Freak out room for those newly updiffed after MC to hold hands and support each other...

[DachshundsWantPuppies]

Hello!

Newly updiffed and freaking out about spotting, cramping, the wait until your first scan and each little twinge? Settle in for lots of hand holding and supprt until you're ready to move to grads

emoo I had a bit of a frenzied munch out on Leerdammer earlier on but at lunchtime I had a nap and woke up mid dream about cake, so I think I've got back to my first true love

Thank you for the fishy assistance

Pink it was just to tell me that I hadn't actually given them a sample they could use. VERY badly worded letter.

Still, I have now learnt that one should not attempt to get the first bit of wee in the pot, as this tends to contaminate your sample in random ways (probably because you end up weeing on your fingers as well). Joy, joy, joy.

Hairy so glad it's not just me that's going loopy. Let me gently pat you with this salmon.

I see no one has yet spotted nor shared round the non alcoholic vino!!!

nix should ever be non-alcoholic??? Thanks hon but think I'll wait it out...only another 8 months to go

Ooooh yum thanks! Shame about the lack of alcohol though .

Hahaha owly thanks for the tip! tbh my wee goes in such random directions it's a bit of a mission trying to get any of it in those little sample pots without weeing all over my arm.... TMI?????

nix you animal, not sure I'm keen for non-alcoholic vino! I'm going to join mamap on the Ribena

God I love ribena right now. But only out of cartons. And yes I was this irrational before I got updiffed, it tastes wrong when I make it from a bottle.

Pink this is definitely TMI but I did actually manage to wee on my bloody leggings at my booking in appt whilst aiming for the sample pot. Do not ask. Just do not ask.

Mmmmm Ribena out of a carton is massively superior, it's not irrational. It's like the difference between coke out of a glass bottle and coke out of a plastic bottle - totally different drink.

Hahahahahahahahahahahah at the leggings!!!! Now I'm intrigued a) how it happened and b) what you did after the event? Did you have to try and rinse and dry under the little hand dryer thingy?? Sounds all v. stressful!

Gosh it's been an emotional day on here.

hairy hugs for you darling, you've been through the mill today - but at least you were given some reassurance with your hcg test. It sounds like they're doing everything to keep you informed. Last time I had an hcg test they called me back two days later (by which time it was pretty clear I had mc'ed ).

Have had a lovely day out with ds and a friend with ds the same age. I started getting back ache as we set off with maybe a little heightened sensitivity to smell (don't those street stalls selling fried donuts smell disgusting?) so am clinging onto a sliver of hope. 13dpo today, think I might need to be sedated for the next few weeks.

I should know this by now but when will my faint line turn into a big fat line?

Need an early night, ds is far too heavy to be lugging around the south bank without dh to help but it's nice to be able to go out without the buggy. (hopefully I'll be inconvenienced again in about 8 months)

Is pleased to see another chunky monkey diffed peep living in leggings!

although mine dont smell of wee

YET

Theyre FAB! Am there... could be apple and blackcurrant squash for me! Am living on lemon squash at the min... cant get enough!

pink Leerdammer and Fondant Fancies...your diet is up there with my white plastic one... The last 2 days i have actually managed greenery in my butties.. whoop for hte healthier eating

What shoes are you girls wearing with leggings? If I can work that out I'll be there right with you on the leggings front.

nix my diet is appalling. Luckily I am drinking tons of fruit juice so there must be some vits going in somehow. I thought of you today as I hovered over the iced buns at the shop... :)

Ello Digi :) My craptastic faint line didn't turn into a proper one until I bought a superdrug test and stopped ill-advisedly using the ebay cheapies. Even after that I reckon it took 1 1/2 weeks i.e. 20 days post-ov for a decent convincing line to convince me. Yes, I used many, many tests.

Pink there was no cocking handdrier. It was awful. I can't perform under stress, clearly, at least, not with about 6 layers of coat/jumper/etc involved.

I am wearing boots with the leggings which seems to work okay. Leggings are definitely the way forwards, I'm all about the comfort, oh yes. I'm not actually any wider, I just don't like things around my middle as they give me indigestion.

Knee high boots wedge heel for comfort. Leggings and a long ish loose fitting top normally. Same here Owl cant bear anything tight or round my waist and having to undo brazier for comfort!!

Digde the FR lines are pretty thin and faint anyway....

Hairy so sorry you didn't get the reassurance you wanted. So if you think you conceived on or around the 8th Jan, you would only be 5 wks? I wish there was another way to know right now, but it's just a matter of waiting hon, I'm sorry. Sleep lots if you can.

I am on the verge of a major freak out. So may need slapping. Two days now and the quease hasn't really been an issue. Now, I AM snacking a lot, and I did actually throw up for the first time this morning and yesterday did the retching thing walking to train station, but why has the quease gone? Am I just handling it better?
I am terrified of course that this is the start of everything dropping away and losing the pregnancy.

oooh wombat just read yours disappeared too. Are we about the same stage?

Hoorah for the weekend. I don't want to do anything. Feeling all a bit overwhelmed. Sigh.

Ladybee I've found that if I'm sick in the morning I just don't feel as queasy through the day, though i still have wind. Maybe you could be the same? There doesn't seem to be any logic behind all that but at least you're getting something

((( Hairy ))) so sorry you weren't more reassured. I can only echo everyone else in saying that you could have conceived later, and if so the sac would be the right size. Plus, as I was told by these lovely ladies, it is the difference between % of mm so very difficult to measure accurately and some private places don't even scan before 7 weeks. When I went for my scan I should have been 7 weeks and measured 5 with just a sac which they refused to call sac and called it a cyst. 2 weeks later I measured 8 and saw everything. The sonographers are so pessimistic, at my 1st scan mine told me the pg had ended. Don't listen, listen to the person who's job it is to weigh up all the facts not just a scan out of context. It's so hard I really feel for you after such a shit year. We're here for you though x

No puking for me yesterday or today so far, so glad I asked in advance about it tailing off. Boobs still big, still have wind, nausea possibly turning to heartburn but still around. That's ok for 11+3 right?

Ok, am fully expecting to be had docked, but I'm freaking out again ( quelle surprise! )

Last Friday clear blue went up from 1-2 to 2-3 so it should have gone up to 3+ by now and it hasn't. Aaaaaagggggghhhh...

(and still no symptoms)

Hey Dachs, those Clearblue things are the work of the devil I think. I have managed to stop myself buying another one (did one which said 2-3 weeks about week and a half ago) because I know how upset I would be if had not gone up. Not to mention they are so expensive! I am sure everything's fine and if you give it another few days and do another one it will go up, its not that precise a tool to be using really. When is your next check up with docs?

For what its worth, I also don't have much in way of symptoms and we are probably at similar stage?

I am having minor stress now as scan date draws closer (Monday). Hoping for some reassurance but seems early scans are not always that reassuring.....

hkb Good luck with the scan! :) I have a 6 week scan next Saturday - not sure what I'm going to see, but hopefully there'll be something there! Remember early scans might not show you much, but that's normal...

Dachs I am six weeks and no symptoms yet. Like I said previously had really bad symptoms with mmc. Now step away from the Clearblue. There seems to be loads of people who it makes up a random date for. Someone is even having a scan because of it. I know it is frustrating but from what people are saying they are not that accurate.

Dachs I agree, step away from em! They're only good for confirming pg at beginning, anything else will worry you unnecessarily

HKBaby good luck with your scan, I hope you manage to relax a little in the meantime

I spoke too soon, nicely pukey earlier

Dachs stop torturing yourself

Bee, nausea not so bad if you are sick, mine changed to heartburn too orange! Still retch when teeth brushing on empty stomach, try not eating to see if it cones back? I honestly think it's related to blood sugar!

Fwiw my sickness didn't really kick in til 10 weeks! Everyone is different! Still when brushing teeth at 14 weeks tomorrow:)
