Yay Digi, I was going to mention doing a new thread but just been lurking on the motorway (passenger of course) and couldn't get around to posting.
You know, I started this 'Pred Thread' a few months ago, wondering whether there would be anyone to join me and tenatively taking a chance there might be other people out there. And here we all are, over 3000 posts later and gathering new folk all the time. It's such a great support for us all.
I think as thread number one is still loitering around I might get mn to take down the any link that goes to TV stuff etc, just so I am not always track-downable iykwim.
Right, looking back through the end of the last thread. Kittens it sounds like such a bittersweet time for you, I do hope everyone continues to be positive. Is there any news about her condition - do you think she will be able to come out of hospital at some point? Yes I am in Brighton again from the 27th for a good week so do let me know if I can help out granny or auntie in anyway.
I too was also thinking about PQ and how this Christmas will be hard for you. Am just down the road here too if you need anything! Funny that we share the same chemist - he must be wondering what the hell we are up to :)
Digi sorry about the situation with your mum! Do you reckon either of you will break before Christmas and contact each other? I am sure you will sort it out. Plus childcare is important to bear in mind when you're going to have two! Not knowing much about anything except the early part of pregnancy (on which I am now a flippin' expert) when do you enter the third trimester? And also when will you be leaving work and for how long? And what will you do about going back? Am intrigued.
Cheerful am shocked too at your awful experience with that doctor! I would second digi and say you really don't want to be seeing him again. Somehow implying it was your fault? WTF! I am feeling exactly like you at the moment. Last week I definitely had a lot more nausea. This week am just tired with the occasional boob twinge. And yes of course that makes me feel there is something going wrong. You hear of so many people losing them at this 8-9 week stage. Coley* I am tired a lot of the time but then I don't have a successful pregnancy to refer to so I don't really know how it should feel to be pregnant. Re the 12 week scan I have an appointment at my GP for Weds so I guess she will start the ball rolling with the hospital. Next scans are with Mr S on the 23rd which would be 9.4 and then if it's still alive then, the 4th Jan with St Mary's which would be 11.1 by LMP. So by that next week I would be needing to have an appointment for a nuchal if I am to go down that route. Again, it seems so near yet so far, particularly as I don't feel bad today at all. I've even been googling no nausea at 8 weeks.
Oh one symptom I have spotted today is a tremor in my left hand! Just when holding a fork or similar. Great.... Haven't yet Dr Googled it but am wondering if it is relating to Pred.
Thanks for all the info everyone about the fertility side of things for my friend. I will pass it all on. Euro I did tell her about you as yes you have had a similar experience except lower down the road in terms of not having tried IVF or anything. Duggs thanks for the PM too. I will pass it all on. Coconut I think, like with Euro and also my friend until her recent loss, I think the theory is that NKC can have an effect on actually getting pregnant in the first place. So you never know, it might be worth your friend getting tested.
battery hope all is going well with the testing. Are they going to scan you yet? I know it is still very early days but at least they could see a sac and check it is all in the right place.
Hello to everyone else, hope it's a good week for you all xx
