Do you like feeling left out of a group? Do you enjoy being marginalised and isolated and picked-on? How about a good bullying? If so..you're in t'wrong place, cock, coz this 'ere is the TTC thread where you feel loved, embraced, encouraged, wanted, lusted after, admired, respected, thought-of with fondness, missed when you're away. We will even put up with your lazy, selfish bastard of a husband who would rather watch Chelsea romp through the Premiership than put a baby in your tum-tum.

Absolutely any old slag welcome, unless you already have a baby in your tum-tum and we're about as familiar with you as a condom. You can get lost Smile

t'STATS, innit

Really hope you get good news sparkly and good luck in your interview purds
Fell asleep with phone in hand - so loads to catch up on at lunch time Grin Hope everyone is well

Nomio230 · 16/04/2015 11:33

Sparkly, I really hope it is good news for you. The dark line sounds like a good sign, so I am going to be cautiously optimistic for you.

Good luck Purdie. If they have any sense, they will snap you up. (Although the selfish part of me wants you to not get it, so you stay with us Blush)

Nomio230 · 16/04/2015 11:35

Good luck with moving, Night. I hope it isn't too stressful for you. Make sure you have plenty of wine and chocolate in!

nightandthelight · 16/04/2015 11:36

Thanks Nomio :) Have you seen anymore houses?

Sparkly123 · 16/04/2015 11:39

Right girls. For the love of god, I need you all to keep me sane for the next ten days!

Trunchbull was not at her finest today, rushing and quite hard faced I thought. Joy. Hmm
I took my extra dark bestest yet positive test with me. She did one of NHS ones, told me there was a line but not strong -after 30seconds?! Then said let's scan.. As I changed to scan it was clear the test was getting much darker and she hadn't given it long enough.
Dildocam number three for the week and she said my lining was still thick and intact what the actual Star ? she then made me lift my bum with my hands to tilt and said she could Possibly see a small yolk sac but she couldn't be sure. It was too early. She said that this thing she saw was high up in the uterine cavity, I asked if that was an issue if it was a yolk sac, she said just need to be careful it's not too close to the right tube..

She then took my bloods correction-she prodded and prodded and couldn't get any so got a phlebotomist to come who had a lovely bedside manner and took it no probs and said she will get back to me with hcg today.

After today. I get no beta or scan until 10 days. My case is now passed to early pregnancy as she says she is treating it as an early pregnancy but it's a waiting game.

I asked:
If anything I could do in meantime to help preg continue ie progesterone etc- NO.
Hcg bloods every few days? NO they won't do that.
Have we ruled out ectopic? She can't say 100% no
what the heck is all the bleeding then? We don't know- no possibilities given
I thought this was the start of my cycle seen as bleeding is heavy at toilet every day? Well it may still be. maybe the lining is going to come away now

Beyond confused, hopeful, scared. I don't feel pregnant -have no symptoms! Is it possible my hcg will come back lower?

I wanted to update you all properly. Sorry for harping on about pregnancy related things. I know all of you are desperate for that line, it's just we really don't know now so I need to stay here if that's ok!!

Nomio230 · 16/04/2015 11:39

No, we were both a bit disheartened by the other house falling through, so gave ourselves a few days to get over it. We are going to start looking again this weekend. Smile

spinningirl10 · 16/04/2015 11:41

Sparkly, it is so typically you to respond to everyone else before sharing your own news but you know it is your update we are all waiting for!! Smile

juneybean · 16/04/2015 11:42

She sounds like a fucking wanker sparks despite her I think it sounds great...although fuck knows where you're bleeding from?!

auxiliaryauroch · 16/04/2015 11:42

Lots of shit but sparkly the lining is still intact! GrinStarSmileFlowersCake

Nomio230 · 16/04/2015 11:43

Sparkly! That sounds pretty good to me. If the lining is still intact & you are getting positive tests, I would say you are still pregnant! Fx for the HCG results.

I know you must be terrified and confused, but today you are pregnant! Smile

loopylou1984 · 16/04/2015 11:44

Oh Sparkly, what a roller coaster!
Not only are you completely welcome here for as long as you want, but additionally don't you dare leave before we know all your updates!! Also, I need you here with your advice, please.
Keeping everything crossed for you lovely, what time will you get the hug result? Xx

Pixa · 16/04/2015 11:45

Oh Sparkly. I remain cautiously optimistic for you, fingers crossed for good results later. I am very much still hopeful. Smile

Oysterbabe · 16/04/2015 11:47

That sounds largely positive Sparkles
FX!!! Thanks

spinningirl10 · 16/04/2015 11:47

Sparkly, firstly this is the place to voice your concerns. We are all worried and want to share your journey and support you.
Goodness it sounds quite positive! I guess a lot hangs on the blood results so I'm keeping everything crossed for you there.
You would think if the blood tests are good there would be something they could give you to try and keep bean where it should be. So more waiting for you, that's definitely the worst bit but we're all here for you.

Nomio, sorry the house fell through. I must have missed that, fx something even better comes a long.

Hairstylisttoboris · 16/04/2015 11:48

sparkly I'm cautiously optimistic for you :) xxxx

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 16/04/2015 11:50

For god’s sake Sparkly that bloody woman is driving me insane now – she is the most unhelpful person ever!! Can you please request to have someone else take over your case? It just seems she is happy to do the bare minimum and then send you away. It’s just so poor!!

So what are the next steps? You just have to wait 10 days and then see from further blood tests? -

Stay right here with us. Bloody hell, I so wish we could all meet up and go with you lol xx

DizzyMerry · 16/04/2015 11:51

Sparkly that does sound positive. I know you must be horribly scared but your lining is intact so that's a good thing. Really hope it all goes well for you. As for trunchbull nobody should have to endure that. She clearly knows nothing about all this and if she can't provide any answers you should have seen by someone who can. I hope it's all good news for you Flowers

Sparkly123 · 16/04/2015 11:52

Nomio so glad you are going to start looking again this weekend. You will find the one!

Thank you all so much for your support. I sometimes feel I've bombarded this thread the past few days!!! I don't know what im expecting from the hcg result. Double? Could it be less than Mondays? Who knows. I guess it will be a few hours yet.

Spinning yes I thought they could give me something or at least check my progesterone to see if it's ok but She said there was nothing that we can do but wait.

frogbubbles · 16/04/2015 11:54

Morning lovelies, bah so much work to do today.

Welcome midnight Smile

Nom good luck moving house this weekend and purds good luck with interview this afternoon. You will be fine Smile

Sparkly, I have my fx and will remain hopeful for you. What a complete cow bag this trunchbull is, why is she so mean?

Sparkly123 · 16/04/2015 11:55

Ha ha Glittery a Bumsnet army!! Take down the trunchbull! Dh is saying she is just doing her job and there's nothing they can do as they just don't know do they. Eh! Angry he did make a very good point though, I'm now into epu so she has nothing more to do with my case.. My note are passed over now. So this is good right? unless EPU are also dicks Hmm

Sparkly123 · 16/04/2015 11:56

Thanks Froggy and Dizzymerry hope you are both ok

Mummyofonesofar · 16/04/2015 11:57

Sparklypants it does sound very positive - positive line within 30 seconds is fab, lets keep our fingers crossed for your beta results. I am glad you will now be under the epu who should be far more understanding and lovely rather than with that stupid uncaring bitch! So is your next scan Sunday 26th? Keep positive lovely, you are doing so so well Xxx

Sparkly123 · 16/04/2015 12:02

Thanks Mummy she said ten days from now for scan and then said it would prob be a week on Friday so it would be before the weekend.. So clearly she thinks today is Wednesday. So technically next week.. A week Tomor? I think? Because she then said "oh cause I'm away next week so I can't do it so I'll pass you to epu to my colleagues" maybe that's why she's uptight today because she's away off on hol on Monday. She's thinking its Wednesday in her head.. It's Thursday silly woman!
Dh said to her "enjoy your holiday" when we talked out.. I rolled my eyes Confused Wink
I honestly think she also secretly isn't happy because I tested a bit early and so she can't give me real answers!

nightandthelight · 16/04/2015 12:03

You are still pregnant Sparkly! Appreciate that next 10 days will be tough but try to focus on that :)

Good luck with the house hunt Nomio!
