Hi Everyone! Just back from the docs and I feel much better - I went fearing the worst, as I am terrible for worrying when I have got nothing to occupy me. I love the summer hols but I usually find something to wind myself up about! The GP has taken swabs (felt sorry for her, rooting around in there!) did a PG test (negative, but then, if it wasn't I don't think it would be very hopeful, as my womb must be quite a hostile environment at present) and she is going to ring the hospital and strongly recommend I am scanned for 'retained products'. She said most likely it will just turn out to be a hormone imbalance and I might have to go back on the pill for a while. The constant bleeding has got me down so much, I don't mind having to wait a bit longer if it is going to increase our chances in the long run.
Pebs I was thinking about you and your experience when she mentioned the scan - they keep saying that I would be having fever, sickness etc if I had retained products, but I know that isn't always the case!
Moomin so glad they are on the case with your stitch.
Wilde my friend has just had her baby (last week) and when I found out I was PG in feb we planned loads of things together for when we were both on maternity leave. I felt awful but I didn't go to her baby shower, and haven't been to see her baby yet...I do feel bad, as I want to support her especially as her DH is away with work, but I know that if I went over and got upset, she would feel terrible and it wouldn't help anyone. I think if you can suck it up, and it isn't going to mess with your head, then it could be alright, but if you are in doubt, don't put yourself through it. There is plenty of time to catch up with all of that when you are in the right place to cope with it. That's my view anyway!
woody I have got everything crossed for you - go for it!
Possom we will be thinking about you tomorrow - I really miss the innocence of 1st pg when a scan appointment is a friendly, exciting thing to attend rather than a firewalk of nerves and emotion!
possom and lurcher I think the TES handshake is a great idea...I am on there too but not very often as I know for a fact my boss trawls the disgruntled employee threads for clues that we are on there! nice that he has got the time eh.
goat I think you have got the right attitude - it is so easy to wind yourself up thinking about what went wrong, when the mw and doctors say there is often nothing you could have done differently. Something someone on here said to me a while ago really cheered me up, that at least I know I can get pregnant, which when you think about it, is cause for celebration in itself and certainly not a given for everyone.
Hi to everyone else and sorry this is so long - I think I am a bit giddy after not getting the last rites at the surgery this morning!
