Point!

And there's plenty of time for not drinking on a Saturday night and it feeling very dull and really fancying a glass of wine or two when you are pg.

janey1234 · 24/11/2012 19:09

Drink!! If you were pg it would still immune to any alcohol so make the most if it! Hopefully you won't be allowed any booze soon, so make the most if it Wink

Purplemonster · 24/11/2012 19:24

Oh go on, have a drink Bunniegirl, it's the weekend!

navis176 · 24/11/2012 19:26

Oh Rache ? I really hope everything works out ok for you ? fingers crossed for a scan on Monday that shows everything is fine and dandy [hug]

Pip and Lol and Sazza - best of luck for POAS ? hope you all get good news in the end!

Zombies ? hope your side effects are wearing off

Bunny ? go forth and drink! I?m waiting for shagging week and had a fair few cocktails last night ? can thoroughly recommend the relaxing effect Grin

Pipbin · 24/11/2012 19:40

Not to excess is my answer Bunny. Until implantation the baby doesn't share your blood flow. In fact I think it's not until a while after that.
Drink but don't get bladdered.

HazleNutt · 24/11/2012 20:10

Rach Fx for you, how are you doing?

Pipbin · 24/11/2012 20:30

Well spotting has turned red here.
Looks like I'm out this month.
That said, my spotting normally stays brown until AF. If it's not turned into proper AF by Tuesday, which will be 14DPO then I guess I'll POAS.

Rache1S · 24/11/2012 20:34

Thanks Hazle, I'm ok... well, as good as I can be Smile
I just keep thinking there's nothing I can do to alter it's fate so there's no point worrying, but I look forward to knowing either way so Monday can't come quick enough. I'm still getting mild AF style cramps and lower back pain but the bleeding hasn't got any worse so at least that's something.

I really appreciate everyone's well wishes and my wonderful DH is an absolute sweetheart who is keeping me sane Smile

Rache1S · 24/11/2012 20:34

Pip I have even my eyelashes crossed for you!

Bunnygirlie · 25/11/2012 00:03

Well I had 2 and a bit glasses of prosecco which was very nice, thanks ladies x

I'm positive I'm out this month anyway, So maybe I should have got smashed lol

janey1234 · 25/11/2012 08:28

Rache - how are you this morning? Been thinking of you...

Bunny - prosecco sounds bloomin' lovely... Even at this timeof the day!

Good luck to any about to POAS - about time for some more BFP's!

Pipbin · 25/11/2012 09:49

Still spotting

janey1234 · 25/11/2012 10:12

Is that normal for you pip?

BelissimaLol · 25/11/2012 10:28

Well nothing here. Had a bit of wine last night but not that much. Cramps stopped and no spotting. Still don't want to get hopes up.

Rache1S · 25/11/2012 11:18

Well, the bleeding seems to have stopped, which has lowered my anxiety levels a bit, but I'm still desperate to see a heartbeat on a screen so I will be falling out with my Midwife tomorrow if she doesn't offer me a scan. I've still got some mild cramping so FX it doesn't get any worse.

Pipbin · 25/11/2012 11:21

Perfectly normal Janey.
I get spotting from about 7dpo onwards as a rule.
It didn't start until 10dpo this month.

Pipbin · 25/11/2012 11:25

Glad to hear the bleeding has stopped Rache.
Lady I work with had bleeding start on a Friday and was seen on the Monday for a scan. She was about 8 weeks and had misscarried about a year before so was really panicked. Everything was fine for her.

Rache1S · 25/11/2012 11:43

Thanks Pip, that's good to know. I was convinced it was game over yesterday but now it's stopped I'm not so sure. Either way I need a scan now for my sanity!

sazzababs · 25/11/2012 12:58

Spotting and even a bit of bleeding is apparently perfectly normal. Same with the cramps, although its still not very nice to have :/ Hope you're feeling/doing better this morning :)

Six or 3 days late now,depending on what dates cycle-wise I'm working from... Negatory piss-stick and still hacking up oil due to this minky cold... I was going to 'Sods Law a positive' last night and get some wine, but feel too rubbish to even contemplate drinking right now!

Hope everyone is having a nice lazy Sunday!

HazleNutt · 25/11/2012 17:30

Been thinking about you today Rach, hope you get your scan without much hassle.

Rache1S · 25/11/2012 20:10

Yeah me too Hazle. This weekend has gone sooooo slowly! Even if I have to over-egg my symptoms I'm determined to get one, but based on my obsessive Googling I think they will offer me one from what others have said. I just hope our little bean is ok.

Pipbin · 25/11/2012 20:29

Has the bleeding stopped Rache?
I would still be demanding a scan though if I was you.

Rache1S · 25/11/2012 20:43

I still have a tiny little bit of pink when I wipe Pip, but it has pretty much stopped, thank goodness!

How are you?

BelissimaLol · 25/11/2012 21:19

Hope you get your scan Rache. Make up whatever you need to in order to get it!
It turns out I'm 14 dpo and no af yet. Might poas tomorrow but still scaredBlush

Rache1S · 25/11/2012 22:10

Thanks Lol. 14DPO and no signs of AF is very exciting. Nothing to be scared of when POAS. I've got everything crossed for you Smile
