Wow, Meluv, that really is fabulous news about the 'refund', well done you Thanks [Puts stern hat on]: What the fuck are you doing 'forgetting' to book in for your bloods? We've been talking about them all frigging week! Are you going today? Meluv, when you go for your scans the nurse should be measuring the thickness of your womb lining - mine does. It's very reassuring that, if a pregnancy does occur, the lining is thick enough to sustain the embryo. Only prescribed drugs (progesterone) can thicken the uterus lining. Make sure you ask the nurse at your next scan to measure the lining.

Right-o, I'm off to th'airdressers shortly. It's a shitty old barber shop in the village which my DP goes to and where he won the raffle at Christmas. The prize was a free wash, cut & blow so guess who's going to be sat in the chair listening to some twelve year old cream her knickers over One Direction?

Meluv · 11/01/2013 11:07

npg1 · 11/01/2013 14:10

Arghh im so fed up. Had smear test last week and got abnormal cells and I have to go and have a colposcopy. The info book says not to try for a baby.

On a positive note I did ovulation stick today and the control line is lighter than normal and the test line is dark

Meluv · 11/01/2013 15:17

Aw npg am so sorry to hear that hunny keep positive and hopefully all will turn out fine can't answer ya question about still trying for a babs Hun the best thing is to just wait if u can an get the cells sorted first I no it's so hard the longing to av a babs but I wud an I think u wud be the same if u got caught pregnant an the. Don't want to say this as I feel horrid but it's a hard fact to av to look at if the cells had to go and u were carrying a baby an they said u will loose it during treatment it wud be devastating Hun ... That is worse case scenario but just be patient and get ya lil self checked an all will be ok then u can start ttc again big massive squeezes hunny we r all hear to chat too xxx

Bloody hell, your gonna have your hands full ! I always wanted twins, my first two were 13 months apart- complete nightmare - but id do it all over again in a heartbeat !
The nurse that rang to tell me results said to have lots of sex still ? day 25? whats she on about ?
I would of done same , in your shoes , go for it !

viviennewestwould · 12/01/2013 00:38

Npg1, I'm so sorry about your abnormal cells but please try to be patient until they give you the all clear. Meluv is right - any exploratory work or surgery would destroy an embryo. These issues can be cleared up super-fast, though, so please try not to worry. You'll be able to bed-rock before the winter's over I'm sure.

Meluv, I read in the Journal of Human Reproduction (yes, I'm anal) that implantation occurs not on day 7DPO like everyone says but on 9 or 10DPO. It can, in a small number of cases, occur as early as 5DPO or as late as 12DPO, but this is rare. You are 5DPO today so I very much doubt it's implantation - but you could be one of the few! I'm so excited for you this month, Meluv, I really am.

Mumalah, I am so bloody chuffed for you! What a thrill! Did you ask her for your progesterone score? I have no idea why she's telling you to keep having sex don't these nurses know our flaps are chafed from all the frigging bed-rocking?

My hair is..um..interesting. I kind of look like a cross between Princess Diana and Hayley Cropper. Why the fuck to these hairdresser creatures insist on blow-drying my short hair into a mushroomed helmet?? I look like I should be selling jam at a church fete Hmm

viviennewestwould · 12/01/2013 00:41

I wonder how Christelle and Rosie's pregnancies are going? Smile Envy

'Hello' to Annalou, too!

TillyTommyTootToot · 12/01/2013 11:07

Hi ladies, just popping in to say a quick hello! I'm 13 dpo today I don't feel any symptoms at all my boobs are sore like they normally are before AF so I don't know if I should bother getting a test when in town today. Would I get an accurate result at 13 dpo?

viviennewestwould · 12/01/2013 11:29

Hi, Tilly, the best advice is to wait for AF to arrive as a 'false negative' can be distressing. When I was pregnant last January I got a negative at 12DPO and was heartbroken. I tested again at 13DPO and got my BFP. I am of the belief that, if you are pregnant, you will have your answer by 13DPO (but not everyone does. Some women get BFNs up to 16DPO! This is why testing early is bullshit - it tells you nothing)

TillyTommyTootToot · 12/01/2013 11:33

Thanks Vivienne for the advice. I think through the two years of ttc I always thought all I need is the clomid and bang I will be pregnant.....I'm starting to realise that it is not going to be so easy!

Sarahb8990 · 12/01/2013 12:23

hi guys, im cd7 today and im having my first scan on thursday , this is my first cycle of clomid and im wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect at my scan

viviennewestwould · 12/01/2013 13:38

Tilly, after three cycles of Clomid (and popping TWO eggs out each time) I am still not pregnant Sad So many other things have to fall into place perfectly for a pregnancy to happen. It's a miracle anyone gets preggo, seriously [sigh]

Sarah, the scan is to show whether your Clomid dosage is appropriate (ie. working) and also to make sure you are not hyperstimulating (producing tons of follies - danger of multiples). You will be CD12 at your scan and they should be seeing the development of follicles which will (hopefully) release an egg or two. If the follicles are mature (18mm) she may imject you with HCG (the pregnancy hormone) to force the egg(s) out. Not everyone gets the HCG shot. Due to it being Christmas time this last month I didn't bother going for the scan - hence no HCG shot - and I still ovulated beautifully (my day 21 progesterone score was 119.4!)

The scan will be transabdominal (up your fanny) and they use a sheath and lube before sticking it up. Doesn't hurt whatsoever but I've got a twat like a wizard's sleeve

Meluv · 12/01/2013 14:14

Oh r V u do never fail to make me howl luv a fanny like a wizard sleave pwaaahahahahaha do a bloody book u will be the next L James Hun .... My pains have gone am cd 22 today I hate this dam wait I so hope one of my 4 follies ov girls don't realy want to do another month of clomid grrrr v I read loads implanting can occur from 6 to 12 days after ov but who knows ay if I ov last sat I wud of been 6 days past it yesterday that's y I was flapping incase all my follies burst an a loads of fertilised eggs were implanting Hmm I hope my gamble will pay off

Sarahb8990 · 12/01/2013 14:41

oh so its basically the same as when I had a scan to look if i had PCOS.
what is the progesterone score mean? i havent been told about afew things that im guessing should be done as iv noticed everyone is talking about having bloods taken and i have only been told about having a scan which i have to have every 3-4 days until i ov Confused
