Hairy best of luck, I have everything crossed it's ok for you.

Apparently babybean does not like oranges. At least not at breakfast time.
I've been waking at 4am last few nights - this is one of my symptoms, happens every time - but have found eating a biscuit then helps with first wave of nausea in the morning. Didn't help with the orange-provoked vom this morning (sorry) that took me by surprise because I'd just been freaking a bit about how fine I felt. Oops.

Am on training today, nice to not be at my desk - rubbish because I have to stand up and present and just want to lie down and snooze.

pretty I'd LURVE twins, but I don't think I've got two in there (although Dr Google is not being a v reliable source of info so I'm still clinging on to the hope that there might be more than one in there!)

Morning all..!

Hope it goes well for you today Hairy.

I've been missing due to internet problems... finally got it sorted, turns out they'd not taken a direct debit payment, and there was a bar on the account, but the silly fools didn't tell me that when I phoned to find out what the problem was... no, I've spent ages on the phone to technical support and poor DH has reinstalled goodness-knows-what and changed ADSL filters...arrrrrghgghhghgh Angry.

Right, off to read back to see what I've missed - be back later...

lurky lurky lurking for news from hairy

Weird about the oranges lady - I found that nix's tip about fresh OJ worked a treat yesterday.

I woke up at 2 this morning and spent a while trying to chuck my guts up - was brilliant Grin Feel like I would feel better if I could actually be sick but never get to that stage.

emoo feel your pain with the internet thing - I am clueless at that stuff, luckily DH is pretty handy at sorting it out.

I've taken the next few Fridays off work on holiday - feel like I need to take it a little bit easy for the next few weeks at least to try and give the little bean its best possible chance. Work were a bit Hmm about what I was planning to do with all my long weekends though......

silverangel · 04/02/2011 10:23

happy Fridays everyone!

Hairy best of luck for today.

Orange - still laughing at that!

I am pleased to report that since last night I keep needing to wee, which I had last time, so taking that as a good sign Smile

Emoo · 04/02/2011 10:39

Dachs - well done on the super duper hCG numbers. My pg doesn't feel real either - have no symptoms at all yet. Well, not of pregnancy anyway. I have a disgusting cold and am feeling rather sorry for myself though Sad. I hope the next week goes fast for you - perhaps go and buy a really good book?

Hairy - looking forward to some good news from you! Fingers crossed, good luck.

Nix - wow, 13 weeks! Seems to have gone fast... Hope your infection is clearing up. Hmmmm mackerel from tin... sounds quite nice actually, might have to go and look in the cupboard!

Pink - dangerous train journeys? Hmm Wouldn't agonise about it too much! You make a good point about the long days though - the odd one is probably fine, but if it's every day, might be worth thinking if anything can be changed? But as Nix says, that's to make you feel better and I can't see how it would have a significant effect on bean. Sorry your friend is not being helpful.

Wombat33 · 04/02/2011 10:51

Please will you all stop talking about mackerel Grin Grin That's be enough to make me chuck on an ordinary day Grin Having a mini freak out here because of the whole it not seeming real thing. I can't quite believe the bean might be in there and growing okay. Irt just all seems so surreal and unlikely. Plus my symptoms have done a disappearing act on me again Hmm

Whoop fpr moving to NZ - that is soooooooo exciting!! Did I miss exactly where in NZ?? I love the place - have only been once but stayed for 6 weekks and travelled all over. One day I will get back there!

Work has been insanely busy this week so I'm holding on to the 'bean will take what it needs and it's me that will suffer' thoughts. Hope it's true. Only 4 more days til next scan but I'm already dreading it. Trying to distract myself by looking for a house to buy (why is no one selling anything around where I want to live?!?!?)!

Mamapower · 04/02/2011 10:57

emoo there you are Smile How you doing chiccadee?

wombat good luck with house hunting, we can't find anything and have been gazzumped twice on the only two I liked!! I thought the country was in recession...apparently not in the south east! Grrrr! Still, house hunting is a good distraction Smile

Pink I've had that feeling of thinking 'if I could actually be sick I'd feel better!' I'm sure puking will come before we know it Grin

preeeety I think my dh is quite enjoying my morning and evening boob flashes Grin Grin

Waves to all

hairyfairylights · 04/02/2011 11:15

Hi.

It's not great news, Im afraid, from me.

The have seen a 'blob' - not an egg sac, but a 'sac like' object.

a potential small bleed is also present, but no 'free fluid' in the womb.

They are re-testing HCG and I'll know the outcome later today.

Had decided it was definately not viable, but the consultant says there is the possibility that I am less pregnant than I thought and he does not yet want to write it off as non-viable.

silverangel · 04/02/2011 11:18

Hairy so sorry to hear that. All you can do now is sit tight and see what happens. Could your dates be wrong?

PinkIsACheeseAddict · 04/02/2011 11:18

((((hairy))) fingers crossed HCG is climbing nicely and it's just that you ov'ed later than you thought. Try and get lots of rest-am thinking of you xx

clareanna · 04/02/2011 11:31

(( Hairy )) there is still hope - fx for you - will be thinking of you x

Emoo · 04/02/2011 11:34

Hairy - so sorry the news is not reassuring yet, and I'm keeping fingers crossed it's just too early to see much yet. When was your last hCG to compare?

hairyfairylights · 04/02/2011 11:42

Thanks. the abdominal scan couldn't see anything (I was really glad I had picked a spot on the ceiling to stare at).

The trans-vaginal scan picked up this blob - my notes say 'sac-like area'.

Can't help holding out some hope, but I can't help feeling pretty devastated too.

I think if this doesn't work out that will be it for me until I've had further tests and see if my eggs are actually any good or not.

Wombat33 · 04/02/2011 11:43

Hugs Hairy we'll all be keeping everything crossed for the HCG results and that you're just a bit earlier than you thought you were xxx

hairyfairylights · 04/02/2011 11:43

last hcg was 1,307, that was last week. I am calculatingit will need to be 21,000 today to be viable.

Wombat33 · 04/02/2011 11:47

1,307 to 21,000 would be a massive increase! Are you sure it needs to increase that much? I was told 66% increase every 48-72 hours is fine and once it gets about about 6,000 it can take 4-5 days to double.

Mamapower · 04/02/2011 11:48

Hairy I am virtually squeezing you ((((hugs))))
From memory, you are only 6 weeks today aren't you? If you ovulated late in your last cycle, you could conceivabley only be 5 weeks in gestational age and on a scan at that stage you are unlikely to see much, sometimes the sac isn't even visible until 5+3/4 fx crossed the HCG level's reveal that you are progressing xxx

nickstermum · 04/02/2011 11:55

Hairy im so sorry it wasnt the news you had hoped for... mama is right though... orange had the same at a similar time.. I really really do hope that when you are re-scanned(?) there is someting more than a 'sac like area'.

Hideous wait you have, and my heart goes out to you xx

hairyfairylights · 04/02/2011 11:57

Thanks all. I am realising just how much what happened to me last year has taken out of me. I am no longer the same carefree person I was. I just don't know if I can take any more of this. I think this will be it for me if it goes wrong, and I will have to find a way to live childless.

I really appreciate all your kind words, but I'm fairly sure I ovulated when I think I did (I use a clear blue monitor and the last peak day was 8th of Jan). Had sex on 8th and 16th.
that would put me at four weeks plus six days since ovulation, so by now surely they should be able to see something. Unless I ovulated twice in the month (thinking about it, and I didn't note it down, I did have ewcn at an unexpected time).

Although even then, my positive pregnancy test was on 17th January so no, I think my dates are right.

hairyfairylights · 04/02/2011 11:59

Wombat, I thought it had to double in forty eight hours?
