Maybe early pregnancy does knacker you out

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 18:02

Thanks Rubber. But I'm guessing it would be too soon for any symptoms?

cartoontrickster · 16/07/2013 20:12

maybe its never to early for symptoms.
I've been sure I've had symptoms really early some times and others nothing until 6wks.
my very early ones being things like chin spots (i only have a spotty chin when pregnant) and food and drink tasting strange. tiredness is a difficult one to tell with me, I'm always tired!
also can't remember which brooker said it (sorry!) but I've had the same miscarriages with and without spotting/bleeding so you really must not focus to much on it and assume the worst.
I'm sure you already know how common spotting is especially early on. it might be implantation.
you won't know until you pee on stick so do it now please Grin
is anyone due to poas soon?!

Munxx · 16/07/2013 20:49

I always had symptoms very very early on

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 20:54

Thanks Trix. I have a few spots. I always get a few after AF starts but again, this could be the progesterone. I'm not normally a tired person at all, I'm always on the go. But I'm the opposite at the moment.

don't worry Munx I didn't hear you

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 21:01

Cushions at the ready!!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 16/07/2013 21:12

Why Maybe the acting in Starlings isn't that bad Grin

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 16/07/2013 21:12

Hi Brookers,

Sorry I've not been around the past few days. I've had a few really busy days at work. I had a bit of a panic as I got home 5 minutes before my injection was due today Shock

Maybe glad to hear there is no more spotting. Tiredness sounds very promising Smile

Thanks for all the response re: stimming scans. I guess I was a bit worried as my first scan will be on day 8. I know I need to trust the clinic. It's so hard as I'm such a control freak!

I was drooling reading about the ice cream. I love ice cream. Once when DH and I were on holiday in Poland we found an amazing ice cream parlour by our hotel. I went every day for the entire week. Even though it was December, it was snowing and -5 most days Grin

cartoontrickster · 16/07/2013 21:15

maybe how are you taking that progesterone?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 21:44

Grin Boo Tis Luther related and not starlings!

Trix it's a gel up the old fanjo

Good to have you back Cups. You don't have up be too bang on with jab timings. Apart from trigger. How you feeling? Only a few more days of DR!!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 16/07/2013 21:49

can't watch Luther, don't like being scared Blush
Did I mention my little town is the setting for Starlings probably did cos it's my only claim to fame Grin

cartoontrickster · 16/07/2013 21:54

oh a gel. is it in some sort of applicator? is it poss you've Erm damaged yourself slightly on application and that's whats caused spotting?
I have the pesseries but the midwife did warn me that some of the edges are a little sharp for such a sentive area and so you could easily get a little cut and bleed.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 21:54

Is it Boo?! Are you in it?! I love Luther!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 16/07/2013 22:15

I think I may have been driving past in one scene twice cos I went round again to see if I could spot anyone famous Blush Grin

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 22:18

Thanks Trix, it is an applicator. The gel can cause spotting as a side effect. The nurse said it could also be from egg collection and transfer. Or it could be implantation. Or nothing!!! I have strange crampy pains tonight. Always in the same place.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 22:19

How exciting Boo. You is famous innit!

ThedementedPenguin · 16/07/2013 22:25

Oh maybe it sounds very promising. Not long now until testing day :)

Not sure if I replied to you solar or not. Internet nots great up here very low signal so can't check. But I'm not married yet. We are hopefully going to chat to a woman on Thursday about organising it.

The ice cream sounds delish. I really want some
See that Luther programme what is it about? I searched for it and watched it but I didn't find it scary so I'm not sure it was the right show.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 22:31

How is the hollibob Penguin? Where are you thinking of getting married. I love a wedding I do!

Luther is the detective. This series I think is more frightening. I just love it and idris Elba

DinoSnores · 16/07/2013 22:54

Just popping in from France to brook for you all. Will be keeping an eye out for those BFPs! I reckon that Kate's baby will be born on the day that maybe gets her BFP. We'll all be saying, "Oh yes, I remember where I was when the future Queen (for I have decided it is a girl) was born. I was celebrating the BFP of one of my internet friends!"

NoMaybeAboutIt · 16/07/2013 22:59

How are you my little petite pois?! How is France? I too have decided they will have a girl!! really hopes for Kate's sake that it is a BFP. That baby will be in there a long time otherwise

BlindKitty · 17/07/2013 06:09

maybe tbf you have just had an invasive procedure, surely it's only normal to get a little blood?

Re tv - it's all about breaking bad for me! Just about to start season 5!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 17/07/2013 09:12

I've never seen that Kitty. Worth a watch then?

ThedementedPenguin · 17/07/2013 11:21

kitty I love breaking bad. It's awesome and he is crazy.

maybe it is definitely worth a watch. Such a good show.

Oh that's good to hear. Luther is an excellent show. I've still the second episode in season 3 to watch. It's very good few jumpy bits.

So everyone has just left. Just Dp, ds and me left. It was quite sad when everyone left and now I'm feeling a little lonely.

Today is the hottest day so far. I've been up from 6. So I'm tired already and Ds will not nap. He is so yappy atm.

We are thinking of getting married on lusty beg island. They have a website if anyone wants to have a nosy. I'm not sure how great it is but the island is gorgeous.

SweetieTime · 17/07/2013 12:14

Maybe I luff Luther too. Didn't think last nights was as scary as week before. But Shock at Justin.
How you feeling today?

I also think Kate is having a girl. She has dropped a few hints. I think she wore baby pink for trooping the colour on purpose. I have never seen her in pink before. I am excited to hear what she gas and what they call the baby. I don't envy her labouring in this heat though.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 17/07/2013 12:32

I know, it's so hot Sweetie. But I'm guessing the nice hospital may have air con.... I wonder what they'll call her?!

I had a tiny bit of pink spotting this am. Am just feeling heavy down there and have pressure in my bum. Lovely.

I know!! Poor Justin. Poor Mary.
