so, went to the doctors yesterday and it's 50/50 - I've woken up today and heavy. if I get pain I need to go to hospital. doctor has said to test again next week but I'm not hopeful Sad

best bit of advice though girls. if the doctors won't get you in and you want to see someone because you're worried about something - call nhs direct first. it worked for me and I had read it before

Oh mac how awful Iam so sorry Thanks . Do you have an early pregnancy unit near by ? How awful having to wait

Tylastar · 02/08/2014 09:58

Thinking of you mac

macmissy · 02/08/2014 10:24

I do, but there is little they can do at the moment. Going to get another couple of tests in (I used 2 this week getting my BFP) so will test again Monday. Really gutted to be honest. Should be going to try on wedding dresses today too :(

Mac so sorry Thanks

How many weeks are you? You should be able to go to EPU if your 6 weeks I think (I did)

I'm pretty sure drs shouldn't be telling you to test though? As this doesn't prove anything. Have you already spoke to a mw or EPU? ThanksThanksThanks

poppet85 · 02/08/2014 10:52

Oh mac thats so sad !I went to an epu at 6 weeks I agree with Ducky dr should be referring on not asking to retest ? Hope you've got good people around at this difficult time xx

Cupcake92 · 02/08/2014 11:09

Mac sorry to hear :( :( :( :( hope u get some answers soon Thanks Thanks

Mac I'm so sorry. Hope you are ok Thanks

Tylastar · 02/08/2014 19:36

Good evening ladies. Hope you're all doing okay!

Quick question time. I thought I'd already ovulated this month but I've had cramps today on the left side so I'm a bit confused. I don't normally get any cramps mid cycle should I be worried?

21questions · 02/08/2014 21:15

Im the same tyla. Both my sides are aching like in my hips. But I have had a bit of an upset stomach so it may just be that and my overactive mind thinking its related to ttc.

CP1299 · 02/08/2014 21:27

So sorry Mac.
I managed to get a test and used clearblue digital tonight and it said negative. Still feeling weird, no AF so 3 days late, gassy and bloated for 6 days, feel like AF coming on for the last 6 days but it hasn't and sore nipples. What on earth is going on I don't know. Might use a second test tomorrow morning but otherwise I shall just have to wait.

Ducky23 · 02/08/2014 21:31

No idea Tyla! Could it be implantation?

Cp, maybe hold off until Monday if you got a negative today, if you can Wink and use fmu Smile

Hope things have improved for you mac, fingers crossed the bleeding stops and there's no cramps, have been thinking of you x

Tylastar · 02/08/2014 21:42

I felt a bit off a few days ago and thought I was coming down with something but been fine until the pains today.

Trying not to think it's implantation Ducky but it's hard not to think about it!

CP, fingers crossed for you!

Cupcake92 · 02/08/2014 22:07

Tyla could be implantation? Or just normal cramps I got them often throughout my cycle.

I am exhausted today. DS has turned into the Devil child and has been so naughty today and past couple of days. I'm forever picking him up and moving him etc etc he's kicking me and keeps getting my belly. I'm terrified that all this stress and heavy lifting and kicks are going to harm the baby :( :( :( :( I've just cried literally all day I can't help myself. I'm just worried :(

And I'm so bloated I look about 5 months pregnant already!

Ducky23 · 02/08/2014 22:18

Aww cupcakeHmmHmm how's the ms been?
Baby should still be behind your pubic bone at this stage so don't think ds would have harmed it, you will need to be careful as the weeks go on though. You should be ok to lift him though as long as you lift him properly so don't pull anything Wink
I know what you mean about looking 5 months! I was so bloated at te start it was crazy!

Cupcake92 · 02/08/2014 22:25

Ms sickness isn't great atm :( I'm eating little and often but feel really sick after eating. 5am seems to be ms time l always wake up then feeling really nauseous.
But yeah ur right I need to be careful with DS kicking as weeks go on. Don't know what's got into him he's just suddenly become so naughty. Think he knows it's his birthday soon and he'll become a toddler so he's just practising his toddler behaviour now hahaa.
I am so glad to be in bed tho. Isn't bed lovely? I love bed so so much ??

CP1299 · 02/08/2014 22:27

Thanks Tylastar and Ducky
Will try again on Monday using fmu. I always thought that it should be fmu but the test said anytime or else I would have waited until tomorrow morning and not wasted one today.

Not drinking very much but loads of trips to the loo to wee. This really is the strangest cycle I have ever had!! My first one post mirena had none of this!!

Taking my burpy self off to bed now. Good night to everyone.

macmissy · 03/08/2014 07:14

morning lovelies, thank you for all your messages. I'm 5 weeks, there isn't anything they can do until after 6 which is why he said to test again. I adore my doctor, he's thorough and I trust him impeccably (in fact I won't go and see anyone else because he's so good)

I've kept my appointment on the 13th which is when we'll either get sent for a scan or we'll talk about MC in more detail as its my 3rd.

macmissy · 03/08/2014 07:16

cupcake that little tinker of a DS! have you tried keeping a packet of biscuits next to your bed to have when you wake up at 5? it might help?

macmissy · 03/08/2014 07:19

poppet, my OH has been amazing. he gave me my anniversary pressie early to cheer me up, I went for my hair done yesterday so that felt amazing & I didn't cancel my first wedding dress appointment - so I got to try on 9 beautiful dresses (even though I was petrified of leaking!) but I didn't Grin

Ducky23 · 03/08/2014 07:32

Really hope everything is ok for you mac x

The reason I thought you shouldn't re test was if something did Happen, you could still get positive tests for a few weeks.

Cupcake, what a little bugger!!!! Grin

Cupcake92 · 03/08/2014 07:35

I'm so amazed at how strong and amazing u women are! Inspiration for sure :)
Mac ur so brave. But I'm glad u kept ur wedding dress appointment :) I bet that was exciting ! And nice of ur OH to cheer u up.
I've not thought about keeping biscuits by my bed, ill have to try that. I've got ginger nuts in the cuboard ! :p

Ooo here's a goal for everybody..... Have a spa day!! :)
At my local spa there's these heated sun loungers n they are amazing, I like having a snooze for half hour on them :p hehe
