[aquababe]

Hope the titles ok

OK so I have a reasonably positive start to the new thread.
What I thought to be AF turned out to be a bad case of theruns
And so when I poas'ed last night I actually got a BFP

Very nervous about it, but happy too. I actually went to the place(shopping centre) I got the positive with my dd for good luck
My dh thinks I'm mad but hey don't they all
now if I can just get past the nine week stage without going insane

ALBS glad your finally able to admit your pregnant

Lissie glad your getting that referal at last
ilts sorry it didn't happen this time

lcy! my heart just leaped when i read about your bfp. I am totally contorted crossing everything for you that this was just an implantation bleed and that you and nugget are ok.

don't feel negative about your body's abilities to make a grow a baby - it ain't over til its over and at this point you have no reason to think that at all love. the stats are totally in your favour and you just have to chill and stay positive.
i know this is all pointless really - because its a horrid feeling but only a few days after my bfp - i had that horrible searing cramps and brown-pinkiness. i think it must have been implantation. it was too early to do much and i had to wait the weekend to get hcg results. i think i ran through the gamut of emotions but in the end, felt sort of determined/decided that I will try and think/hope/feel for the best outcome and not let my mind keep returning to the thought that this may be my 2nd mc and what was wrong with me etc etc.
big hugs xxx

aquababe - hope things will work out. so stressful, really feeling for you right now.

coolkat - sorry you had to join us. hope you are doing ok.

jules - fantastic. I am so pleased for you. its great seeing that heartbeat, isn't it?

i am still having a mad time at work and am shattered. also having my stretchy womb pains a lot, so hope that i am about to experience a growth spurt or something. am officially addicted to scans and this is my cold turkey week . . .its horrid.

hi to everyone else

Jules that is really lovely

Hi TJuice - thanks i will try and stay positive. I have had no more bleeding today - will just have to wait and see. I am quite realistic that alot of people mc this early on - i just hope if it does go wrong it happens earlier rather than later.

Hello to everyone else

Hi Jules - crossed posts - so glad all is well with you - despite the stress. I am also sitting on the sofa eating chocolate

POPSY!!!!!!!!!!

Mate I have missed you! Been off MN myself for a month or so but yes I am having twins! Sorry you are feeling down - I completely understand. I think I was close to breakdown . I am so so so praying it happens for you.

Get yourself off to the gynae who did your D&C (go private if necessary). This is what I did when my cycles were long and he said an egg released so far into my cycle may not be viable. He gave me Clomid (hence the twins). It worked first month. I think cos he'd seen me before he was happy to give me Clomid after just one appointment (which cost about £100 - it was covered by my insurance). He said there was obviously nothing wrong with my tubes as I'd been PG before so he just let me have the magic pills. Getting PG straight after coming off the pill is common in people with OV problems (I think you got PG straight after coming off the pill like me didn't you?). So maybe Clomid will work for you. Don't wait any longer, it doesn't have t cost a fortune to go private.

xxxxxxxx

Hi everyone else! I am now nearly 15 weeks PG. I really hope the baby dust settles for you all soon. I have been off work most of last month through sickness and holidays so haven't been on MN for a while.

Check out the pics on my profile.

Lcy Keeping my fingers crossed for you - I was delighted to read about your BFP last night! Really hope it works out.
Jules Great news about the heartbeat! Keep taking it easy - your DH sounds like mine, always busy cooking!
HTGG I did trampolining for years - it's excellent fun! Know what you mean about the pelvic floor muscles though, and I haven't even had a DC yet!
CD18 for me and still no on the OPK so not sure what's going on there. I know they don't work for everybody so am bd'ing regardless!
Hello to everybody I've missed - too much to catch up on!

Love the pics (and the names) nh. Wow - you're 15 weeks!!!!!!!!!

Jules and Lcy - hoping there's no more bleeding for either of you.

went to Gp - she was really nice (she had her ear thingy out when i walked in cos i've been seeing her about a long running ear infection for weeks now... i told her that's next week's appointment lol) - and has given me a letter to go to EPAU and get a scan (mainly to check I am 5 weeks not 10)... I'm waitng til thurs when dh is back, so i don't have to park the car myself, but also so i don't have to go alone and also to give it a few extra days cos if i am only 5 weeks, each day gives a chance of seeing a heartbeat, i think........
ARGH - scared though.
Told her how scared I am.
she was lovely and said congrsts, and i said i don't want congrats, so she just crossed her fingers!

Am knicker checker extaordinaire!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Cricri - how are you doing - i did some OPKs this month and did not get a positive once - but obviously ovulated - so keep at it with DH regardless

Thanks alittlebitshy - glad you have a scan date

Knicker checking is getting ridiculous x

ALBS - good news about scan date keeping everything crossed for you, don't you just wish you could sleep for the next few weeks and wake up at 12 weeks I do?

cricri - which opks are you using? You are rght sometimes they don't pick the surge up or miss it, regular BDing is teh way to go nad good to see you btw

nh101 - glad to see you 15 weeks already well done

Lcy - sorry to hear about the bleeding sorry to say it sounds to me like a chemical pregnancy (I had one as well and in some ways easier to deal with than a mc) look after yourself x

Georgie - waves hello trampolining wow all my flab would bounce up and knock me out!

jules - great news about the scan, am keeping so much crossed this is the one for you, keep brave x

hello to anyone else I have missed out, am completely shattered so off to bed now xxx

not had a chance to catch up on all post but saw jules you got a heart beat. gives me some hope. still bleeding some times small sometime not so but no more actual clots and it's been 24hrs since gynie had a poke last time it was over exactly 12hrs after. got bloods tomorrow if I make it throuhg the night. just don't understand where this blood is coming from if it meant to be staying.
mums got dd so resting
fingers crossed for hcg levels tomorrow

Not ready to join in here yet (found out about 2nd missed m/c yday - D&C on Friday) but sfxmum mentioned the thread so I thought I'd come over and wave. Don't think I'll start TTC again until I've seen the consultant - which they said might be up to six months (unless I pay for a private appt). It's good to see so many of you pg after m/c.

Still v v v wobbly. Good luck to all of you who are pg.

(((((hugs))))) to verso and aquababe
thinking of both of you x

hi Verso hug to you, I am not ready to ttc yet either, still bleeding and all this has not really hit me yet.
still I rather hang around people who will understand all my wobbles.

aquababe thinking of you.

someone mentioned trampoline and climbing sounds fab. I like to do things on my own like running, hope to find motivation to go out at the weekend.

hope everyone ok today, rubbish weather, my toddler has a nasty cold seems like indoors day today

Morning. Wet, rainy and cold here today .

Can I just, aaaarrgghhhh, because what i thought was AF arriving last night wasn't. Just little bit of blood that has now stopped. Am v v v v paranoid now that it was implantation bleed from unprotected sex on Sunday. Haven't a clue where I am in my cycle. 32ish days after ERPC. I can't be pg can I? Really really really not ready. Didn't someone say that it took 53 days for AF to return after m/c? Guess i should just chill out because AF will never turn up if stressed. AAARRGGHHHH .

Hi Verso - am newbie too. Great bunch of here that a re v supportive when you decide to join. I lurked for a month or so after my ERPC (2nd Nov). Hugs to you.

Cricri - Did gymnatics for 8+ year (4 - 12) and then trampolining right through til uni.... fab way to meet the fella's . Quick straddle jump and back sommersault is enough to get you noticed .

Morning to everyone else. Hope things are OK, bearable and not too frantically-knicker-checking-ly-awful in your neck of the woods. Peaceful vibes going out to everyone today.

Grrrr.... Just back from appointment with the most useless GP I've ever seen! He was completely dismissive, I managed to get him to refer me to the Gyne dept at the hospital but he doesn't think they'll see me, and even if they do it won't be for months. He made loads of excuses about the NHS (while grinning the entire time even though I was in floods of tears) then practically pushed me out of the door, I was in there less than five minutes I'm so upset

Does anyone know how to find a private gynecologist and how much it costs? I hate the idea of going private but it's clear I'm not going to get much support from my GP. So fed up and despondent, really not sure what to do now

Good morning everyone anyway.

Verso so sorry about your m/c, this is a great place for support though - welcome.

Aquababe hope your bloods results give good news today. I've got my fingers crossed for you.

kasha so sorry about your experience, is that your regular GP? I would put in a written complaint. don't don't about private but will ask as know someone who used one.

it is awful, am complaining about my hospital, nothing to do with NHS shortages just plain careless people displaying inexcusable behaviour

georgiegirl think not that far from you, near the end of another branch of District line

got my first hcg result which was 296 on day 37 (monday) and have had bloods taken this morning.
have starteed to bleed a little heavier. am not expecting good results later. don't think I'm going to stop bleeding with out standing on my head (which I cn't do as I'm rubbish at gymnastics)
just really down home alon at the moment and trying to think up things to take my mind off it so came on mumsnet

verso sorry you've had to join us

Hi lovelyladies
Is so fab to be back again love reading all the posts -makes me feel sane hooray!
So sorry for those going through the shit at the mo - is a really mixed bag here with people at all stages of MC - from just had one (or more ) ...to still waiting to get PG again ...to now PG but terrified
What a brave amazing bunch of women!!!

Jules was thinking about you - remember Kerry Katona bled through all of her PGs a lot and has had 3 healthy kids and another on the go... what a role model to mothers to be (okay so I am obsessed with OK, heat, closer etc and feel like I know Kezza personally )

nh101 HEEEEEEEEEEEY my MC twin - now you are having twins does that mean I will too - another friend told me to go for clomid yesterday but i feel scared to do it cos just got new job and don't want to let them all down after they have made this effort to make me happy (and I feel I have just turned the MC corner - actually thinking of other things these days). I know is silly - will go see docs when off work next week - sod it!! What you said about viable eggs makes sense to me - i didtemping which showed OV late on but pee sticks were inconclusive so maybe LH surge is not right? Hmmm pops science brain kiciks in but she tries to stifle it cos therein lies internet surfing obsession
Off to look at your snaps - have been avoiding them cos will just get even more jealous of your long blonde hair and fab DH who is even willing to have his photy on MN

albs hooray for fab doc - we all need one of those

LcY hooray for implantation bleed (am crossing eyes and toes too just for extra baby luck)

TJ now you know why tomkat got their own scanner - I'll be at my students everyweek to scan me once i get PG (though will a horse rectalmscanner owrk i wonder ha ha)

ellie how are you?? MASSIVE?? What has happened to the wedding plans? How's Jersey?

Everyone else HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Kasha What a horrendous experience, no wonder you're upset. Mc is upsetting enough as it is and when the medical profession don't take you seriously then it makes it even worse. As far as private gynaes are concerned, if you've got a private hospital near you then I believe you can self-refer. I looked into it when I considered having the chemical mc pill as it wasn't available on the NHS where I live. However, the initial consultation alone was going to be £125 and having heard ITLS's horror stories about chemical mc I decided not to go ahead. You do get taken seriously and are made to feel valued when you go private, but it shouldn't have to be like that.
Georgiegirl Did you do trampoline competitions? I competed for 15 years (including at uni) so perhaps we competed against one another at some point! Although I no longer compete, I still coach and I do have a bounce occasionally. Bit depressing though when I think about the moves I used to be able to do!

Kasha. Get on the phone to the practice manager now. Make your anger at being treated so appallingly?sp. Ask about the chose and book system. The GP should have given you a password with which you can chose the quickest hospital/Doctor. It has nothing to do with your Gp. If he has no knowledge/ability to deal with 'womens problems' then quite frankley he shoild not take on female patients. tosser

Ronshar, CD2 TTC#3 MC March & Oct07.

Nh101 great to see you again. Crikey 15 weeks already. Your pictures made me weep tears of joy. Thank you for the hope you give me.

Jules, get back on that sofa. I do not want to see you off it. Only to get to the freezer for more B&J. Excellent news about the little bean - its real and everything now.

Verso, do stay with us. We dont really talk about the TTC so much as support each other through the emotional crap. Oh we do talk about food alot too. Fingers crossed for you on friday.

LCY. oooooooo fingers crossed for you. having only managed 4 days in October I know exactly what you are going through.

Aquababe, How was your night? Are you ok today?

Hello to everyone else. I hope this rain isnt getting you all down.

Did you know that big pants help with the pelvic floor. They hide the Tena Lady.

Ronshar - that made me laugh (big pants and tena lady!!!). Am looking forward to meeting you when i come down to W after Xmas.

Popsy - lord i've missed you. Am glad you're back!

Am off for a rest now -am so unbelievably tired (dd was awake seveal times in the night... she's 4 so is clearly regressing grrrr....)

aqua - so sorry. still hoping for the best for you and hope you can stay positive while you wait. mn doesn't help me take my mind off things but ebaying usually does . . . .

kasha - your gp sounds like a dick. sorry but really - has he had no training in dealing with patients or what? i think its grounds for complaint too but i understand that maybe you just don't have the energy for it. Is there another doc at your practice? can you switch practices? just seems ridiculous that you have to pay just because he is a twat . . .
so sorry and wish you didn't have to deal with that on top of everything else. xxx

verso - so sorry you are here. hope your op goes really smoothly on friday. of course, you must be feeling odd - still coursing with hormones and all.hope you can just chill and take care of yourself right now and definitely try and book something special to do/eat/buy in the week afterwards.

lcy - any change, any news? thinking of you and doing jedi mind tricks that its going to be okay . . .

jules. hope you are doing well today. i am 10wks 3 days today. nice to be in double figures . . .

hi to everyone else

Tjuice wow 10+3. That is good going. Have you got a little bump yet? How did you get on at work asking for your over due raise?
