So, here it is, Part 4! May it bring lots of BFP's for those of us still waiting and may it bring happy healthy pregnancies for those who are fabulously pregnant.

That's good news, Noyou. :-) Fx for this cycle.

Swede, how are you doing today?

We are off to ATruth's town today for the night. Should be nice, though it was raining when I got up for a wee a while ago. Hope it's not going to do it all day!

How is everyone else today?

Hi everyone.

Havent had time to read back, busy week this weed with dds birthday.

Not good news here, 12 weeks yesterday but looks like I may be miscarrying today. Rang maternity unit who said a&e would be they only option as my 12 week scans not till tuesday so I'm not the responsibility of the maternity unit. She said the problem is a&e wouldnt be able to scan on a weekend so not much point in going unless the pain becomes unbearable, which its not. So looks like waiting until tuesday for confirmation. But I think its pretty inevitable based on symptoms.

Not a huge shock as lots of you know I've had a bad feeling since getting bfp, but still not nice.

Hope everyone else is ok.

Wasn't sure whether to post as don't want to make any of you panic about yourselves, sorry for the downer.

Oh no Better, my thoughts are with you. Are you ok (stupid question). Is someone around to take care of you?

Still no Ov here. Just went to the loo and when I wiped I am sure there was a very faint tint of red...will keep an eye but maybe it's AF? If it is it won't necessarily be a bad thing as at least I can start keeping track of my cycle.

Oh god Better, I'm so sorry to hear that! I really hope you're wrong and it's not as bad as you think. Are you bleeding quite a lot? Maybe go to A&E for a blood test at least? Hope you've got someone with you to support you xx

HungryHorace · 18/01/2014 13:53

Oh no, Better. That's such sad news.

Make sure you get looked after this weekend and maybe a scan on Monday if they can fit you in? But see how you feel.

I hope your DD's birthday went well.

Swede, maybe you didn't ovulate so your body's going onto the next cycle. And, if so, sooner rather than later really.

donnas1984 · 18/01/2014 14:07

better im so sorry I hope your not alone right now make sure you have some support xxx

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 18/01/2014 15:05

Oh better I'm so sorry. Is there not an epu near you? Take it easy x

hungry - I'd forgotten you were up this weekend. I'm actually still in pjs as I feel so rotten so wouldn't have been good company anyway. Hope you're enjoying it.

CallingAllEngels · 18/01/2014 15:23

Oh better how awful. Sending you hugs. x

HungryHorace · 18/01/2014 16:02

ATruth, I'm feeling crap actually, tired and a nasty taste all the time. Could've done with a PJ day myself! DD was car sick as we were circuiting the amazing one way system too. Lovely. :-/

Zara1984 · 18/01/2014 16:02

I'm really sorry Better Sad hope there is someone looking after you right now and there is an EPU maybe you could attend? Thanks

guinnessgirl · 18/01/2014 17:28

oh Better, that's not good Sad hope you have good support around you. Will pray for you x Brew

Windywinston · 18/01/2014 17:51

Better, I'm so sorry. I hope you have someone looking after you.

Monstersaurus · 18/01/2014 20:07

Sorry to hear about your bleed better. Hope you can get a scan soon. Thinking of you.

Lucyjojo · 18/01/2014 20:36

Oh Better, I know words are no consolation but just know we are all thinking of you. I hope the next few days bring some clarification for you. XX

Better, are you ok? Thinking of you.

Nothing to report here. No AF, no Ov. Think Ov is so overdue now that it won't happen this cycle. According to 'normal chart' I should be 5 dpo but don't think that's right either. Until something occurs I will not know.

Took DD to her first ever ballet lesson yesterday. She just loved it! Going to test drive a new car today. Need to get rid of my current one and get something slightly bigger. Love test driving but hate buying. Feels like wasting money but you cannot live here without a car (as no public transport).

How is everyone today?

Better hope you're ok. Also thinking of you here.

Swede don't be so sure you won't ov this cycle - on my WTF cycle I ov'ed on CD67! Hopefully you won't have to wait that long though.

We're going to visit some friends and their 2-month-old today. Really looking forward to seeing them, though I'll probably be shattered by then end of the day from all the driving and not letting on how sick I feel...

BetterNotBitter · 19/01/2014 08:53

Thanks everyone. Bleed has continued but not increased in volume, still hasnt been a huge amount and there must be alot more to come. Cramps are awful now though, they seem to be getting worse.

Such a difficult one as dont want to 'look on the bright side' and try to think things are ok as that will most likely be setting myself up for a huge fall. But on the other hand, dont want to be over dramatic and worry everyone until its confirmed.

Was just at home yesterday with dd & dh, which id thought would be fine as dh is usually amazing but yesterday was uncharacteristically unhelpful!! He Decided to move all the upstairs furniture around and left a huge mess & was unusually rubbish with helping with dd. Bloody men!!!

I dont feel particularly sad yet as its not been confirmed so trying not to think about it but am exceptionally emotional, which I hate!!

Hppe youre having a nice weekend away hungry.

sorry your wtf cycle is being such a pain swede, are you going to get back in touch with your doctor?

Have a lovely day woth your friends metal.

HungryHorace · 19/01/2014 13:23

Better, it may not be an MC. I really hope it's not. But I understand about not getting your hopes up. Could you have a scan tomorrow instead of Tuesday, just so you have an idea sooner rather than later?

And boo to your DH being an uncharacteristic nuisance. Strange creatures, men!

And we are having a lovely weekend, thank you. :-)

Swede, it really is a wtf cycle, isn't it? Are you going to keep checking for OV? Or just wait?

Excellent that your DD liked ballet. :-)

What car are you getting?

I'm so tired. I have about 3 hours awake every night in the middle of the night almost every night it's exhausting. :-/

claudeekishi · 19/01/2014 14:00

Better
Flowers

So sorry you're having a rotten time of it. Hope you can get scanned asap.

Sounds like you need to get a hot chocolate and book and just go to bed and let dh deal with dd.

BetterNotBitter · 19/01/2014 15:05

I agree hungry it might not be, yesterday when the bleeding started and the pain followed I was fully convinced the bleed would increase and it was a miscarriage but now the bleed hasn't increased! seems to be slowing if anything so fingers crossed it's not. I think that as I've always had that funny feeling this time I was almost expecting it, hopefully not. The only way to get a scan tomorrow would be to go and wait in a&e and I'd have to go alone and take dd and that would just be a nightmare, especially if a& e wait time was long! I obviously wouldn't hesitate if bleeding increased or if I got really ill though.

I've had a few thoughts of what of we go to the scan and they say 'it's fine! good strong heartbeat!' But think its dangerous to indulge in wishful thinking!!

Anyway! Enough about me!!

Is your 3 hours up all in one chunk hungry or broken up? I bet you're shattered :(

BetterNotBitter · 19/01/2014 15:06

And thanks Claude how's things with you?

Hungry - leaving the opk's for now I think. I usually can feel my Ov so if it arrives I should know. Going to wait out AF now so I can get my cycle right again. Will keep dtd every other day I think, just in case.

We are having huge car disagreements at home. I want something practical, been looking at the Ford EcoSport which I like. DH only drives BMW and wants me to get one of those but I hate those cars (far too expensive in any event). Anyway, we'll see what I end up with...

OP posts:
HungryHorace · 19/01/2014 15:41

Is there no EPU who can just book you in for a scan, Better? That's not ideal if not, is it? Is it worth calling the midwives again tomorrow to see if there's a better solution than A&E? I agree it's not ideal with DD though. :-/

And my missing sleep is all in one chunk. I'm wiped out, it has to be said. :-(

Probably best for your sanity to leave it for now, Swede. Though EOD DTD is a good idea!

And as for the car, it's your choice! Your car, so your DH can have an opinion but no say, ha ha! What does he do for a job?
