implantation bleeds and stuff

[ssshhh]

You do know me, it's just that I don't feel ready to talk about any pg issues openly yet - this soon after my mc I feel uncharacteristically reticent!

Since my last period we suddenly got broody, after having said we'd wait some time. So we did the tests, worked out my dates and did the deed last Saturday.

Now, I am not sure exactly when my last period started, but I would expect my next one to be 14 days after ovulation - surely whatever the length of your cycle, it is always 14 days after ovulation? So a bit of bleeding (stringy brown bits) yesterday - is that an implantation bleed? Is an implantation bleed usually accompanied by lower back period type pains? Or is all this in my head?

Ooops posts crossed.

Well i doubt they will come til saturday now.
I bet they don't come til monday knowing my luck, and i will be stressed all weekend.

And crossed again. Well, I will let you off if they don't come til Saturday. But the temptation will be to much to bear if they come sooner!

Your right, if they come before then I won't be able to resist.

Been lurking on here for a few days as love hearing PG news and just had to post.

Nutty, my boobs, well nips really, have done that every time I've fallen PG so I really think you are.

Oooooh really emmatmg. I seem to vaguley remember the same thing happening with Dd2 too.

Well at east I now know i don't have weird nipples. Well either that or emmatmg does too

Those tests can't come soon enough.

By the time I'm 40 weeks their the size of dinner plates too so I really do have weird ones.

and

THEY'RE the size even

Oh GOD! I've stunned you all into silence and you're all talking about me and my dinner plates else where on MN aren't you?

Oh the shame...........

Dinner plates...HMMM. Mine are sore today and I thought that was exciting enough but perhaps I should stand in front of the mirror to try to find something odd about the way they look as well.
TLTW/CP3 Are you still there? How are you feeling after the scan yesterday? Did the bath help? How many more sleeps until you do the test?

I have an appt at the hospital re. my miscarriage on Tuesday so I will likely test that morning so as to avoid embarrassing myself when I sound paranoid...

Hi Scared stupid, I have emailed Charlie but she hasn't replied. I am a bit worried about her. She has been showing as off line on MSN all day too.

I'm sure she's o.k just me being silly.

Hi nutcracker! I have never caught anyone on line before... Why are you still up at this hour. My eyes are burning and I feel exhausted but I needed my MN fix. What did I ever do with my time before?

I'm tired but am not sleeping to great at the mo so no point going to bed yet.

When are you testing ??

Tuesday the 31st. I have pmt today with mild cramps. I was about to say that it must be AF but the truth is that I only ever get cramps on day 1 unless there is not to be a day 1...
I hate the wait. I am not a patient person.

Nor me. I am amazed that one minute i can be utterly convinced I am pregnant and then i get a little twinge and think Oh no i'm not.

I have ordered some tests and I know i'll test as soon as they arrive. They have been dispatched already so hopefully will be here by friday.

You know i must be mad to even consider another baby. My Dd's were having a full blown argument at 4am and woke up Ds. I am like a zombie today.

There are many reasons why I am mad for wanting to have another as well. I would blow my cover to list them all but my days start early with our eldest and end late with the youngest and the middle child keeps me going all day...Not to mention the fact that even if I am pg there is no guarantee that I will carry the baby to term. (When I announced our last pregnancy our five year old said very logically that we will have four children if this baby lives.)
I am very happy to know that I am not the only one that wants to have a big family. Maybe we are both crazy indeed!

Oooh didn't realise this would be your 4th too.

I don't expect to carry to full term either, for a few reasons.
Am quite scared of having such a rollercoaster pregnancy again, but it can't be helped.
Just hope i don't get the consultant from hell again. She made me cry last time

OOPS! I am telling too much. Should be easy to figure out who I am now! I have given no real info before as I am not proud of being in this state of panic.
I did not know that your last pg was a nightmare...Sorry. Were you ttc?
My gp has been know to make me cry. She is outrageous! I have learned that the best approach is to act dumb and then she thinks that she is being helpful.
How did the consultant from hell make you cry?

Oh my! In an attempt to find out more about you, I have just read your thread on 'What the hell am I doing wrong?' and your dd2 could be our dd1! She is 5 and quite a stong willed character.

I am wracking my brains beleive me.

All 3 pregnancies have been a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
Dd1 - Bled heavily at 7 weeks, and found out i had miscarried a twin. Also discovered that I have a funny shaped womb, which means it is quite small too. Was constantly in fear of going into prem labour. She was breech and couldn't turn cos of womb shape so i had c section at 38 weeks.

Dd2 - This time i was not going to,listen to any of their tales of prem labour, so what happened, yep I went into labour at 35 weeks, Dd was distressed so another c section.

Ds - All was fine until they discovered anti C antibodies and they rose quickly. I had to have care transfferred to larger hosptal over other side of the city. Luckily antibodies settled and Ds didn't suffer any side effects whilst in the womb. After the birth he was jaundiced (which we knew he would be) and went on a billy bed for a week. The jaundice toook about 3/4 weeks to go and then he became anemiac and narrowly escaped a transfusion.

In any further pregnancies the level of antibodies will start off at the level they were when I had Ds, so there is a higher chance of baby being affected in the womb. Although a high level may not affect baby at all, depends on the baby really.
Having a 4th section scares me too.

I think i've got sore boobs

It's gonna bug me now, trying to figure out who you are ?>??

Have i chatted to you before under your normal name ???

I do not think that we have ever had a 'proper chat' as I am relatively new to this whole concept. I do know your name so I have read many of your posts and likely posted on the same threads from time to time.
Your pregnancies do indeed sound hellish! You still did not tell me if you were ttc or why your consultant from hell made you cry...

I will need to find out tomorrow as I must get some sleep as morning comes early. Best of luck holding off on the test until the delivery in Sat post!

nutty, are you there? I dreamt last night that I came on here this morning to discover that you had already done the test and that you are pg!

scaredstupid - good luck with holding out until Tuesday. I wouldn't be able to bear the wait!

Hiya all. Been laid up in bed as not well but alot better today and have docs at 3. God im a hypo, any way still have belly ache after scan but alot better. Its my ears that are bad and drops are not helping, the pain is all up side of head and in jaw so having trouble talking which pleases some people. Saying that it is alot better at mo, ive blocked them with cotton wool so im shouting un intentionally at the kids.

I got sore boobs but af is due on sat, still getting twinges in sides of stomach as well so no idea at all if pregnant or not. I think not BUT we will see in 2 days.

How is everyone else????
