iggi fantastic news that all is measuring well. Understand it's difficult to be happy after everything you've been through - but hold on to these good moments. And, just a thought, if your bleeding is caused by constipation - wasn't sure which 'end' you were sticking the cyclogest in, but if it's the back end maybe try the front end for a while till the constipation eases up. Plenty of water etc etc. From what I hear it's pretty common to get small tears or fissures that can bleed quite dramatically. My friend was complaining of having to use suppositories for 5 whole days to help heal her sore bottom. I told her I'd been popping bullets up there since 4 weeks...
Are you still going for the scan on Friday?
Oh and I had my booking in at 10 weeks - was totally surreal. I couldn't believe the MW was asking me if I intended to breastfeed and where I would like to give birth! Was so odd, but I think I wrote on here that it was actually quite an affirming experience in the end. It was good to talk to someone who actually thought my pregnancy might end up as a baby.
comedy very glad to hear your good news too! Are you back for another next week or in two weeks? And a vom to celebrate, how very pregnant of you!
free wow - managing to resist a whole plate of biscuits. That is quite a feat (well for me it is). Sorry to hear it feels like your whole body is turning inside out, but the purging is good. Bet you'll feel so much lighter after AF has packed up.
ari I was going to say ask kittens about how the pred affected her AF...but she's beaten me to it! From my personal experience of one cycle of pred followed by AF it wasn't really affected. My luteal phase was at it's longest of 16 days but it's usually 15-16 anyway. The only time I've had a very light period was years ago when ttc#1 - I had an annovulatory bleed which is not a real period but when you have breakthrough bleeding at the 'end' of a cycle after not ovulating. It was brought on by acupuncture after I had failed to ovulate by day 35.
stogan wow - proper movements! I've been suspecting a couple of flutters myself, but really not sure as it's so early. Yet, if I don't feel them I worry, even though they might not even be actual baby movements - so I could be worrying about not having wind. Best of luck for Friday - are you going to find out the sex? (sorry everyone must be asking you that...I've been getting that now and it's driving me potty)
battery don't blame you for 'sinning' I pretty much fell out of love with all my meds on this second cycle and stopped taking the metformin and aspirin for a while. Re-started taking the met a few days post-ov and felt nauseas because of it. Remembered to start taking the aspirin at 9dpo - which was lucky as I got a bfp on 12dpo. I kept up with the vitamins though - didn't mind taking those. Glad to hear you're all stocked up and ready for this cycle!
kittens good luck with your Dr S appointment next week. And I really really hope you get your bfp soon, even though it means The Fear.
Even though I've come out and appear to be making happy conversation re: pregnancy and The Baby, I'm still a gibbering wreck on the inside. Really thought I'd managed to get over most of The Fear, but unfortunately its still there. Every little twinge and cramp makes me wonder if I'm really still pregnant. I'm desperate to be optimistic about this and sometimes I genuinely am (like my positive posts on here) but I still can't shake this bloody doom-mongering feeling off. Maybe it will go after the 20 week scan. Or maybe the 24th week. It's just bloody hard work having to STILL manage these feelings. I rarely mention stuff to DH because I know they're my worries and not his, but I do worry.
Well, for all you ladies who seem to be synchronising cycles - the very best of luck to you. It's going to be an exciting 4 weeks [hgrin]. Which of you are going to be charting? I want some charts to stalk! I know battery and free are thinking about it...
oh and scooter any news? [hsmile]
