I've started the new thread - how exciting!!

I hope this thread will bring lots of BFPs, good scan results and healthy new arrivals.

Great news bear and beans!!
Hope the bleeding stops soon polka - we're all rooting for you

Thinking of you today polka and good news later.

Congrats on BFPs ladies!

Thanks Yikes and Jolly - caved and bought some CBDigital last night, got a 2-3 weeks this morning. Plenty still to worry about, but that was a little reassuring. Fx you're line gets dark soon Jolly

Still thinking of you Polka - keep resting up. Sending positive thoughts...

Thanks for the warm welcome, ladies. My longer and more personal thanks was just eaten by an ill-timed computer shutdown - grrrr!

Still thinking of you polka. The days waiting for a scan when worrying symptoms are there are really rotten and I hope you're being as gentle as you can be to yourself during the wait.

Great news brave. I'm trying to resist doing another digi until the weekend. I did one a couple of days ago and got a 1-2. I was only 4+1 then so not unexpected but it would have been damn nice to get a 2-3!! The 'pregnant' bit came up very quickly though. Fortunately work's been a bit crazy and so helping to keep me sane.

polka how are you this am? It's lovely that your DH is being positive and supportive. My DP has gone the other way in that he almost refuses to talk about the fact that I might be pregnant. I think he's trying to protect me this way but I could do with him being a little more positive.

Jollyb everything crossed for you, waiting as long as possible is probably wise. I have resolved to not test again until Sunday at the earliest, maybe even Monday. Glad that work is being useful

Sorry your DP is playing things down. Like you say, he probably is being protective, but it just seems so harsh. Mine on the other hand is going in the opposite direction - we almost had a row last night bout the fact that I don't want to tell my family until after a scan. He implied that he'd be telling his family before Christmas, which freaks me out a bit. He's saying I should be more positive.

I think some OH's are simply better at handling this pregnancy lark than others. Bless em. Keep us posted Jolly

polka I hope it all goes well tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and xf

Jolly I'd say keep away from the CBDs but I'd be an enormous hypocrite! But the other excellent advice you gave was 'today you are pregnant' and I'll repeat that :)
My DH was like that but has suddenly switched and is now very sweet and into it again which is good. He didn't really believe it until I'd been to GP even though i told him that they don't actually do anything (eg test!)

My boobs are not hurting as much which is naturally terrifying me! I'm going for an early scan next week... I've booked it at a time where if it's ok I'll be further along than I got last time (iyswim) but it's so tempting to get an earlier one as I'm officially over 7 weeks now

Slighty belated congrats to jolly and brave and beans! Hope I haven't missed anyone?

polka hope you are ok and tomorrow is ok.

cognito hope you can not worry too much between now and next week.

I am just waiting for AF to arrive due today/tomorrow and then we can back on with trying again!

Hope it comes soon mrshp Is your dp at home during OV next time? I'm excited about using CB digi ov sticks this month (sad I know!) but as it turns out, I'll probably be ov next Mon/Tues and my dp is having his sperm test next Weds and can't ahem, ejaculate, from 4 days before so looks like we'll miss it this month. I'm going to use the sticks anyway to check if they work or not, and we might catch a window over the weekend if I ov early...

jolly if your dp is like mine, he didn't like seeing me so upset, not just at time of mmc but the odd month when I react badly to another AF, and so doesn't talk about the situation much because he's trying to stop me being upset. This all came out in a heart to heart a few weeks ago. It's so important to talk isn't it otherwise you just assume all sorts!! Made us both feel better and agreed he needs to be a bit more chatty about it and I need to be bit less!! All good.

Thanks Dorita, yes DP is home all of December, not sure about January yet. If nothing happens this month, I might make appt at GP and see where we go from here. Did you say you are having some tests repeated at the moment? Hope your ov falls in nicely with the tests for your DH though.

Evening ladies.

dorita - is there any chance your DH could move his test back? Could be very frustrating if you got a big smiley on one of his ''off' days.

Mrs HP you must be looking forward to seeing your DH. I hope he's been eating his weetabix.

I think I may need to have a word with DP. I know he's trying to protect me with his 'don't get your hopes up' attitude but it makes me feel like I'm in this alone and it will be my fault for being upset if this pregnancy goes wrong too. Having said this I don't think he ever showed much excitement when I was pregnant with DD.

polka will be thinking of you tomorrow x

Sorry if I have confused you btw - DH is here, he was just away for three out of the four weeks last month although he was at home in between each trip for a day or two if that makes sense. He tends to go away for a week about once a month usually, but sometimes they all seem to happen at once and then none for ages! He just was away right in the window of opportunity this time iyswim!

Yes Mrshp I had my blood test for fsh level redone, don't know result yet tho...polka we considered that but Liverpool women's hospital have been quick off the mark to get me booked in for a scan and appointment with fertility clinic in mid December so if dp waits we won't have his results in time for the appointment. It's frustrating but hopefully good for the longer term.

Never know tho, might just catch it this wkend and be pg by then-wouldn't that be nice!!

Thinking of you today polka and hope it's good news.

A quick question on supplements: my new GP has prescribed high dose folic acid on hearing I'd had two m/cs and was on a drug for rheumatoid arthritis which could potentially interfere with folic acid uptake. I've not yet been taking prenatal vitamins, as I've read you should not take too much FA and all prenatals have an additional 400 mg. But then I keep reading about prenatal vitamins being very important. Has anyone here been on high dose FA and did you continue with ordinary prenatal vits as well? Cheers and hope this sort of question isn't misplaced on this thread.

HJ - from what I understand high dose
frolic acid is 5mg and standard prenatal vits contain 0.4mg so I doubt the additional dose from the multivitamins is going to cause any harm. My Consultant was very pro multivits and so in your position I'd take both (though obviously seek proper advice if you are very concerned) .

mrshp and there I was imaging your DP was in the secret service!

dorita can see your dilemma. Think I would get on and do the sperm analysis. Let's hope you ov a bit early or late.

polka hope everything's ok today x

Afternoon ladies, hope you're doing ok, apologies for not name checking.

Well scan confirmed my worse fears, no sac so it least looks like my body has done a good job in expelling it properly (clutching at silver linings) have to return on Sunday for 2nd bloods to confirm its not ectopic shitty Mother Nature needs to sort herself out after all these years of trying, to have lost 3 babies in ten months is a pretty sick joke. At least it's absolutely confirmed we can do it naturally, albeit slowly, so we're not going to have IVF.

Really sorry Polka

Agree it's like a sick joke. Take care of yourself x

Oh polka. Mother Nature is one screwed up and sadistic lady when she wants to be. I'm sorry this has happened to you. Take good care of yourself.

Thanks for the info jolly.

Oh Polka I'm really sorry to hear that It's just not fair at all. Please look after yourself and take care. Thinking of you

polka, so sorry to hear that. 3 in 10 months is a bit much, take good care of yourself.

Very sorry to hear your news Polka

So sorry Polka

HJBeans I am on high dose of folic acid because I am diabetic, I also take a the pregnacare conception (and DH is taking the male version). jolly is right, the amount in the multi-vit is negligble (sp?) in comparision. The reason they say about not taking a multi-vitamin I think is that if you take one that isn't for conception or pregnancy they can contain vitamin A and you aren't supposed to take a multi-vitamin pill with vit A in when pregnant (and therefore probably ttc).

oh polka I am so so sorry to hear your news take care of yourself and whenever you need to vent or cry, come here and we will do our best to look after you x

I'm so sorry, polka. Thinking of you tonight.

So sorry polka
