How exciting new thread

Yay new thread, thanks parsnips

So sorry about BFN mummy but it is early days and implantation could have happened later (or still to happen!) Will cross fingers for Wednesday.

How are you getting on confused? ❤️

Placemarking!

I know it's early still for testing so not overly disappointed. I'm still getting pelvic twinges/aches/cramps/pain which is all very unusual. I have right pelvic pain now... well AF is due on Thursday so either way I'll no pretty soon!

Wahay thread number 4! Where's seven for our update 😏

Morning ladies!

Thanks for the new thread parsnips .... glad to hear you're on the up!

Thinking of you today confused hope all goes well!

Hope you've miraculously escaped a hangover jupiter !!

I should be CD1 today, hopefully my first actual active cycle! Exciting!

(Four is my favourite number so hopefully get lucky in thread number four!)

Bloated and bored over here 6dpo.. distracting myself with bathroom redesign 👍🏼

Hope you are ok confused?

I have had a harsh reality check this morning when I realised I have a dress fitting in 8 weeks and I haven't lost any of the weight I intended to! In fact, I've put 2lbs on. So not good!! Must move more. Must eat less! Damn my chocolate, wine and cheese addiction!

Confused where are you?!
hope you're okay!
Mummy those signs sound very promising!
Thanks Parsnips for creating a new shiny thread! (I almost shortened your name to Nips before realising that's probably a little bit inappropriate!)

wiggly im the same!! My reality is I'm the same that I was before Christmas and still got a stone to go!! Eek help! We can do this!!

Fully up for using nips moving forward 😂

confused hope everything is okay ❤️

I'm trying to to get too hopeful but I still feel dizzy and nauseous.. very weird!

Trying NOT to! I mean

Okay Buzz lets use each other as motivation! I have just over a stone to lose, do you think that's unrealistic? 2lbs a week...WE CAN DO THIS!

Haha nips is a winner of a username - please please can we call you that?

Oh Hb yay for CD1, exciting times, you may have your results by the end of the week, hope they process them quickly. Urgh hangover here for sure. DH less panicked now I've told him to pretend we're in an episode of Downton Abbey. He knows what he's doing now (although I had to beg him not to ask for some tomato ketchup at breakfast..not sure it's that kind of establishment!)

wiggley and buzz definitely on board with renewed weight loss efforts! I'm getting back on it from Wednesday. We can do this!!

Grumpy that all sounds very promising. Enjoy the bathroom designing :)

How's the head this morning Jupiter?

It's so warm this morning so sat out in the garden having a cuppa and planning all the things I'm going to do this week. Mostly going to the tip, giving the house a good clean, getting some seeds planted. Funny how motivated I find myself in the time before ovulation...

Morning ladies!

Glad you seem to be feeling more positive parsnips

Hope today goes ok confused

Fingers crossed for Weds mummyme, so many people seem to get BFN at 10dpo but BFP at 12dpo so here's hoping.

I ran a 10 mile race in a PB time yesterday, my knee is a bit stiff today though!

Well done seven! 👏🏼👏🏼

sorry HB I haven't updated you...will do it next time.

I vote nips is deffo a keeper :D

Keep getting such sharp pains on right side of lower abdomen, had a constant uterus ache earlier and my right hip is aching. What is this?!? I hate the TWW!!!

Enjoy your bathroom designing grumpy
I keep looking at our garden wishfully hoping we had the money to have a landscaper cone in andvfort it out. Haven't really touched it since moving in.. well except for garden waste people removing the rubble

Yay for getting back on the weighloss brides!!

I started the bride diet seriously 8 weeks before fitting and was happy with the results!! Plenty of time!

Just been to the gym... two weeks off vecause of post-hol busyness & illness... not gonna lie it was HARD!

I'm staring out my office window at the sunshine.. it's a US holiday today so will be quiet.. argh! Going for a deep tissue massage at lunchtime though

Don't want to weigh myself as v bloated!
Made an effort to eat more green veg at the weekend so will try to continue. Trying to cut out sugar but need polos to stave off the nausea.

Hey ladies thanks for all your love!

I have had the worst experience ive ever had in a hospital...
i had my scan and the ultrasound people showed us everything and went through what they could see and there was a little bubble of fluid in the lining of my womb but also a lot of freemoving fluid around my right ovary... this can mean 2 things

• there is an ectopic in my right ovary although i have been told this is extremely rare

• my baby is where its meant to be and the fluid is irritating my ovary and pelvis

I then had to go back to the doctor that didnt look at the pictures or read any notes he asked to do 48 hour bloods today and weds although i already had HCG yesterday (he said no i didnt but i asked him to go and check and they did)... he then proceeded to say i'm only 4.5 weeks so why was i even there anyway!

Then he told me i misscarried and i said no blood etc so he said ok so no misscarriage so it must be ectopic and so i said about the bubble that the ultrasound ladies pointed out and he dismissed it and then i asked him if pain could be constipation (like they said yesterday) is there anything i can take to relieve it as i don't want to keep taking codeine which isnt getting rid of the pain. He said no he wants to concentrate on treating the ectopic pregnancy first (not confirmed remember!) and that if i had severe pain to come back and i said yes but ive had severe enough pain to wake me up in the middle of the night and he just spoke over me about doing a blood test tomorrow...

I'm so glad i self registered to a different hospital... the ultrasound ladies were lovely and she said theres nothing they can see thats even concerning them enough to say that the baby is ectopic but the doctor was so cold and not taking note of the fact its a very very sensitive subject... i mean i know its only a little bubble but it was meant to grow into a big bubble and then my baby!

Sorry if its ranty i just don't know what to say or do... i'm kerping my fingers crossed that the ladies were right and its ok!
