If TTC # 2 has turned you into a nut job this thread is for you! (Part 4)

[sebsmummy1]

Hey!! We have had lots of graduates from Part 3, so let's get on the TTC bus part 4 and make this place a ghost town.

Destination Pregnancy, choooo choooooo

I would say the same, too late for implantation.

Well for the moment I still just have some light brown watery cm. I really wanted to put a mooncup in because I have no other sanitary wear left and I'm scared I'm going to bleed heavily in the night, however I know your not meant to use them on pregnancy and I also can't get the bloody thing in. So I'm just going to have to hope tonight is quiet.

I saving my last hpt test for tomorrow morn and hoping the line is darker. I did have an opk though so did that and I have a stonking peak reading, so for the moment I still seem to be registering HCG which is something.

Xxxxxxx

Brown is good! Is a mooncup the thing you were on about to use when ttc? I'd just make yourself some hot chocolate, or preferably horlicks, get an early night, read a book and try and get some sleep. I so hope everything is ok for you in the morning. Good news on the opk reading though. Will be thinking of you xxxx

Hope you manage to get some sleep sebs and aren't jumping up every 5 mins on knicker check. I so wish it wasn't happening and all was going smoothly but hopefully it's just a scare and that the red blood has gone makes me think it is. And there are all those stories of bleeding which turned out fine. It won't be implantation as you already been past that as pos test was few days ago now, but could be residual bleeding from it or breakthrough bleeding.

I would say, but don't want to scare you, that watery brown stuff is what they worry about too as can mean ectopic. So if it carries on I would get down to EPU pronto. But very much doubt it's that chick.

I've just been watching sunny beach programme... Amused but also a bit frightened for our kids!! My son if not going there... Ever!

But just re read and you said light brown... It's usually dark brown, prune juice they worry about with ectopic (I had this) so think it sounds like it's tapering off for you now and all will be gone and normal tomorrow we hope!! Xx

I fell asleep and then woke up thinking it was morning and I've only been asleep an hour and a half. Long night I think!!

The ectopic thing really scares me particularly since they symptoms seem so sketchy really. Well nothing else is happening on pant watch. Had a little bit of stringy dark brown mucous but otherwise the panty liner is pretty clean.

I just don't feel I can start trying to have a scan so early. I conceived 2 weeks ago, so I guess they'd say I was around 4 weeks? I don't think they'd even see anything would they? I have a docs appointment on Wed so if I'm still pregnant I will tell him about the early bleeding and see if they will do a six week scan. It's the same doc who laughed me put the room before so I don't hold out too much hope!!

Mum and I had such aovely day yesterday with my son. It's such a shame it ended with so much stress!!

Yeah it's usually a six week scan to determine location but at 5 weeks of you are very concerned they can usually see it. Yes, at 15 dpo you will be 4 weeks preggo now. It does sound good that it's all subsided on pant watch, fx sebs.

With the bleeding doctors norm do suggest scans just to rule out ectopic but he might not if the bleeding has stopped (that's a good thing tho) I'm which case I would pay for an early one at 7 or 8 weeks for piece of mind!!

Thanks fed up xxx

Well last night was interesting. No more bleeding but I was up at 12, went to bed again after I'd gone downstairs, watched TV, had a milky drink. Then somehow I slept till about 6am. So not too bad.

Think I'll be able to deal with today a little better as I can at least go to the shops and stock up a bit on sanitary products. The line on the HPT was a lot darker this morning, so that's reassuring.

It's a waiting game now

That's good re the line. Mine was always quite faint with the last pregnancy so sound like yours is just getting settled in. Fx you won't need those sanitary products xxx

I've decided to come off the antenatal thread for the time being as I just don't feel confident this is going to be ok. So I might hang around a little bit longer if that's ok.

I would rather it ended quicker if it's going to end and let me get back on the TTC road and moving forward.

Sorry you are going through all this worry Sebs. You know we are all thinking of you and hoping this will be ok. I would say the fact you got an early bfp and line is getting darker is a v good sign against EP, but they are all different. I would definitely mention fear of EP to doctor, or even better call EPU directly and self refer. They won't usually scan before 5/6 weeks but can monitor HCG which would give early indications of issues.

Definitely stay with us until you are more confident. We are all rooting for you.xx

Yep I will definitely mention the bleeding to the doctor and say there was dark red as well as brown. He is the one who wasn't particularly interested about my fertility concerns last week so I'm not sure if he will refer me, if not I think I will try and self refer and see if they will do an early scan. Otherwise I will go private for some peace of mind xxxx

These are my tests so far, line is defo getting darker I think pray

Please do stick around Sebs. I'm afraid I'm not much use in the knowledge front, but I am happy to offer and support that you hopefully won't need! I would definately mention all of this to the doctor, put on the crazy woman act, tears and hysterics, and tell him you need to know what is going on, if it is going to end you need to know asap so you can move forward and look to the future. But I am hopeful it will all be ok, especially now the bleeding has stopped.

Definately getting darker!!!! How funny, it makes the one from monday barely visible!

I think going private will be worth the money for the peace of mind. If it gets to that of course!

Thanks Lucy xxxx

Would you believe I an actually more stressed out and anxious now than I ever was on my TTC journey. You get so focused on conceiving that you forget there is a further 9 months of concern.

Ok, I an so sorry for turning this I to the Seb Show. I am desperate to STFU and get on with it. If my body could just settle down and start building a small human I would be grateful.

Re the scans sebs, I had one at 5-6 weeks, I had bleeding (after the initial stuff that I thought was AF) , this was a couple of weeks later) when away in a different city, rang NHS direct and they sent me to a walk in, who sent me to A and E, who sent me for a scan the next day. It was an internal one, they could see the corpus luteum etc and said it was a normal early pregnancy. I couldn't see much. But you might not need one, this is all sounding positive! x

Sebs that line is so much darker and now the bleeding has stopped it's all going in the right direction - try not to worry, easier said than done I know, but stress is not what you need at the mo! Please do stick around, we're all willing this to be a sticky one xxx

I feel like a nut job even more than normal today, totally symptom spotting for implantation, really really stupid as the likelihood this month is v slim. Just found out another of my NCT group is preggers and although delighted for her I do feel a bit

Ewcm here but a bit too thick so hot footing it down to boots for some cough medicine!! Ridiculous but necessary for a ttc nutter.

cake I know how you feel. I didn't go to something today with NCT as couldn't face being the only one without two kids. :(

sebs darker test is def a good sign. Fx for you!! Xx

And sebs, I turned this it to the fed up show when I went through my mc in sept so don't worth about using this space to not STFU!! Rant a way! And does look much more positive for you that it was for me so am keeping the faith!!

Well just some light brown staining on a panty liner today. I have really put my feet up. I have no idea if this actually helps, but I have to admit to throwing myself around soft play yesterday like an idiot and I don't know if that really didn't help!!

Honestly I think it's totally acceptable to take a step back on baby stuff when you're feeling fragile. No one would criticise you for it at all. It's also totally normal to feel a bit green eyed on occasion. The important thing is that you look after yourselves and your family and let everyone else take care of theirs.

Ive decided not to go away for my Birthday this year. It's in less than a month and coincides with half term which always makes things a bit more stressful and I'm just not in the mood for all the packing and driving etc. Instead I've decided that we should have a staycation and take Seb out to all different places throughout the week. So we are going to go to the Zoo for my birthday and there is a huge soft play place about 40 mins away that has a great place for toddlers so I thought we could go there. Try and make it a real family week and if anything happens re mmc I am near home or can go straight home and it will be easier than trying to continue a holiday 5 hours away!!

Hi all, I have caught up with this thread with baited breath. Oh god, sebs. I can feel the emotion, and I know what you're going through. Everything you do, you wonder, is that going to cause a mc? My guess is there's nothing we can do to protect our little beans, just pray (and I'm 100% not religious). I will be thinking of you lots.

Fedup darling, I saw you did great on your exams and you're thinking of doing personal training. I would love to retrain as a legs bums and tums workout woman...! It's when I'm at my happiest, in the throes of physical exertion. And my LBT woman has killer legs, bum and tum! I've been thinking about you fedup, I'm pleased you're so positive after a horrid 2013.

punky, you're going to have to tell dh off, he needs to play ball at ov time!

I'm thinking of you all and hope when I visit again - no one is here!

Hi everyone. Sebs how are you doing? I think putting your feet up and trying to relax is the best idea!
Fedup does cough medicine thin it down?? I had no idea ewcm had to be a certain thick/thinness to do its job properly!
I haven't been doing too well today. I'm just fed up of the whole thing. I have cried about 4 times today and had to pull over the car driving home from work as I was sobbing so hard. Ended up telling my parents tonight too after a the conversation sort of started steering that way....felt a bit better to talk it through in real life, but no one can really help can they?? except maybe fertility specialists and gynecologists....oh and storks!!

Yeah, it does - it acts just like cough medicine does in your chest but down there!
I've decided tho that am not ovulating yet as had no ewcm since and think might have been left overs

Feeling a bit down as been doing opks last two days as a pregnant friend gave me them and they are these dual hormone ones which say high and peak fertility but have had neither yet and I'm cd 10 but norm ovulate on 11 or 12 so thinking my cycles are prob going to take an age again to sort themselves out after mc. :(
lucy am bored and fed up and tired of it all too. Why can't I just have a baby?
sebs how are you?

Oh and hi geta! Obviously the pregnancy is going well - am so pleased for you. Thanks lovely, I have my moments - sometimes positive about the year and other times right rock bottom. To be expected I guess! Take care xxx
