Southy I would tell them you are TTC lovely. They won’t pry any more into it but at least the insensitive conversations stopped. We had lots of this at FILs funeral “when are you having more DCs then” (this one will be DPs first, but DS called him Daddy since age 4) When we said we are TTC everyone said “good luck” and changed the subject. Was such a relief!

MissMartin oh lovely, I hope you are ok and get seen by the GP asap. Normally gynae unit can scan at all hours – just needs a Dr who is trained to do them so you may have been able to have one last night. GP should send you straight to hospital for a check up. Let us know how you get on. Have you had a scan already?

night enjoy your last day! So envious you are getting away – Spain isn’t it? Have a lovely time Grin

Hi southy, hope you're feeling better today. Honestly some people really don't think about what they say; and what nonsense about being too old to look after children.

wish1406 · 02/07/2015 09:43

miss is there an early pregnancy unit near you? When did it happen? Were you straining on the loo? That's when mine happened. The nurses and docs told me it's very common. Are you having any pain? Hope you are ok love. I know exactly how you feel! It's so stressful!!! Fx I hope you are ok xxx

southy you will get there lovely! Some ppl are so insensitive! Until you go through it nobody can really understand how hard ttc is! I had a similar experience when my SIL told me to stop ttc as it was inconvenient timing... (We are doing a sport event in august - I've pulled out but she doesn't know yet) She can be very selfish! She wants me to wait until after summer! She will get a shock when she finds out!!! Hope u feel better today x

Good Morning everyone!

Firstly - fingers are crossed for you today Miss. Hope everything is ok.

Southy Ignore your ''friend''. What an insensitive thing to say! Don't feel sad. You are going to be a wonderful mummy, and it will happen for you.

Mummy Did the bag trick work for the flies?

Lovely Did you resist testing this morning?

Mummyofonesofar · 02/07/2015 10:12

Hayley Put it up too late to find out really – tonight will be the result but I won’t know as I am out with the girls tonight.

AF has buggered off already! Very happy with that as it is only CD4 and was so worried about crappy AF after mc Grin

Lovelyjubbly95 · 02/07/2015 10:24

Hayley i did resist... Waiting for af or will test tomorrow....

FrancoisLaPrune · 02/07/2015 10:52

Just catching up on all the new posts. Miss I hope you are ok, thinking of you today.

Still no sign of AF for me - was due on Saturday and I am normally bang on regular but nothing, no cramps or anything but I am still getting BFN's. So frustrating.

Southy ignore your friend. I was once told by a friend of mine that the womb is like a jam jar and if you leave having a baby too long its like leaving the lid off the jam and letting it go mouldy so its no use to anyone. Took a lot of resolve not to give her slap! A former colleague told me it was my duty to provide my parents with grandchildren and by not doing so I was incredibly selfish. Some people are idiots!

Lovely you have some serious willpower. I always say I will wait then 5 minutes later there I am stick in hand ready to pee. It's like an obsession.

Southy84 · 02/07/2015 12:50

Thank you all for being so nice, im feeling a bit better, although came into work and someone came up to me and asked how I was feeling (yesterday I was really hot - office was 29degrees) and I don't do well in the heat, also doesn't help that my house gets hot too and I didn't sleep well so very tired. She then lent towards me and said did I know she had trained as a midwife.... Luckily my colleague came back into the office at that awkward moment, and she announced she would talk to me about it another time. I know exactly where she was going with it!! I've had enough of so many questions, I feel like I'm permanently being analysed. I would love to just tell people we are ttc mummy but I'm quite stubborn and hate telling people about me. Dh is also of the mindset that people shouldn't know as its none of their business. I feel torn as I do think it would make some people back off, however I think it would backfire with my other friends as I would have to be honest about having problems - otherwise they'd be guessing whether I was pg EVERY month... And even then the fact we were having problems would probably go in one ear and out the other!

Well done for holding out lovely!

Hope you're ok miss? Don't you worry about not seeing me moaning, you have enough on your plate, hope everything's ok xx

Southy84 · 02/07/2015 12:51

francoise OMG I can't believe that you got told that! People really don't think before they speak do they....

Mummyofonesofar · 02/07/2015 13:07

francois your jam jar friend is a twat.

southy I see what you mean - this TTC thing can be so lonely sometimes! A few friends who knew we were trying were keeping my test dates in their heads and asking every month - which made it difficult when we got a BFP as I didn't want to lie to them either. But since the mc everyone has backed off luckily as they realise BFP doesn't mean a healthy baby Sad

DizzyMerry · 02/07/2015 13:43

Miss hope you're ok.

Francois Shock your friend is an idiot.

Cd5 and I'm actually not sure how i feel about this cycle. Obviously will continue to ttc but I honestly feel like I've lost my spark and positivity Sad

MissMartin10 · 02/07/2015 13:57

nope..i was just having a wee like usual and when i wiped there was loads of red blood.. i can't get in the doctors until tomorrow though. . do you think i can call the epu and request a scan? even though it's stopped now Smile

MissMartin10 · 02/07/2015 13:57

thanks everyone Grin xxx

DizzyMerry · 02/07/2015 14:02

I would ring the EPU miss for advic. Fx they offer you a scan.

DizzyMerry · 02/07/2015 14:02

*advice

Mummyofonesofar · 02/07/2015 14:04

I would ring epu or the gynae ward for advice - it was gynae who saw me in May. If not then wait for the Drs to shut and then see out of hours and tell them you've had more bleeding. They are more risk adverse and more likely to send you for tests/scans.

MissMartin10 · 02/07/2015 14:15

only the epu's do scans here and they're only open like dr's hours so i think I'll go to the doctor tomorrow and see if they can refer me for a early scan again i only had one last friday and the baby was healthy..strong hb and wiggling around Smile

Lovelyjubbly95 · 02/07/2015 14:17

Southy thanks jst wondering if i can test today as i always thought it had to be fmu? Having a lot of twitching and shooting pains....

Mummyofonesofar · 02/07/2015 14:21

lovely you can test if you want but would be more dinifitive tomorrow with fmu.

MissM I hope everything will be fine - especially as last week baby was healthy

Lovelyjubbly95 · 02/07/2015 14:43

Omg...is that a very faint line?!

TTC's and BFP's XXL mega bus!
Mummyofonesofar · 02/07/2015 14:44

lovely it looks more grey than pink to me. Buy a frer to use tomorrow with fmu?

Lovelyjubbly95 · 02/07/2015 15:14

Yup i plan to!!

Mummyofonesofar · 02/07/2015 15:15

Good luck for tommorrow lovely !!

wish1406 · 02/07/2015 17:31

miss I just rang the epu and they booked me in. Unfortunately it was a Saturday so I had to wait till Monday for my scan. Got another 7 days until the next pregnancy viability scan... Feels like ages!!! Time is going soooooo slow! Keeping my fx for you. They normally worry if you have pain (like AF cramps) and large clots. I think breakthrough bleeds, esp at time AF would have been due, is very common in early pregnancy.
lovely what sensitivity is your dippy hcg test? I did my fmu with one of those and got similar to you... I then tried again (same urine sample) and got a really strong line on a superdrug one! So I think mine may have been less sensitive! If u can wait till morning... But if u anything like me you will save up a little pee and run to the shops for another test!!! Exciting!! Fx for you
