Wombat33 · 08/02/2011 19:23

Evening all! What's the news with barbie? And there was someone else having a scan today too wasn't there or am I getting myself in a muddle? (perfectly possible and indeed highly likely these days!)

i'm on phone so can someone add me to the list when it gets updated?

Wombat33 baby #1 conceived 21/12/10 next scan 25/02/11 at 11+6

lovemysleep · 08/02/2011 19:40

Yes, have cracked and rang EPAU, and now have a scan date for next week - will be 6+2.

Hope barbies ok....

chocciechip · 08/02/2011 19:48

'twas me who had a scan today as well Smile. Baby growing and still has a heartbeat. We thought from the last scan at 6 weeks that I'd be 7+5 today but apparently I am measuring 8+1. Got my first meeting with a midwife tomorrow.

Added myself to the list but think I might have messed the order up a bit - is it by conception date (I assume last ovulation date?)or next scan date?

oops, cross-post lovemysleep. Re-done the list with you in. I'm confuzzed by the order - if from 'oldest conception' to most recent then me and *wombat are at the top - no? Off to see what dh is cooking for supper for me.

hairylights · 08/02/2011 20:19

congratulations chockie great news!

wombat - Barbie posted that she had started spotting, but we haven't heard anything since :(

I'm still freaking out. I absolutely don't feel pregnant, I just feel very, very tired and I'm wondering if that's due to the stress. I also feel weepy - possibly hormones.

Have basically come to the conclusion that I do know when I ovulated, and that the consultant was wrong to really question that (although I agree that I don't know exactly when I conceived). I am regular as clockwork, 28 days, with ovulation on 14th day. So dates are about right.

I know this all sounds very defeatist, but I don't know how I can be expected by anyone, including my very good counsellor, to remain all positive and hopeful at this point.

I'm not adding myself to the list.

I kind of liked this thread without it as it was a great place to freak out whilst newly up-duffed and not wanting the stress of 'coming out' as pregnant and not feeling ready to join any 'graduates' threads.

However, I shall just pretend it's not there Grin

tonythetyger · 08/02/2011 20:32

Hairy I also don't feel ready for any lists. I also have extreme tiredness as my main symptom and am going to bed in about 1/2 hour. Here's hoping for the asymptomatic pregnancies to keep on going strong.

owlbooty · 08/02/2011 20:35

I wasn't on the list in the last room either Hairy :)

Chocs and Pink v.glad your scans went well, breathe a sign of relief and enjoy the evening :)

Unfortunately Barbs posted later on t'other thread I see her on that it was all going pear-shaped :( am so desperately sorry for her & if you're out there Barbs I hope we will be seeing you in here again v.v.soon. TTC is just utter shit, really.

BUT - this thread is about being supportive and positive and so it is with great pleasure that I can announce that I have found the Hairy brain off-switch as requested

And also that PeeVee - your innards are doing all manner of rearranging right now - plus the placenta is taking over and it's no wonder you are feeling rather odd. This may not help one bit, but I found drinking plenty seemed to help, they were more noticable at night when I was dehydrated.

Hugs to everyone xx

hairylights · 08/02/2011 20:36

high five to tonythetyger I've just got up after two hours or so kip and will also go to bed early tonight.

(felt like a bit of a cow for saying I didn't like the list, but each to their own).
