Kate Sorry to hear your GP was so negative... But your bean has proved her wrong so far so will hopefully continue to do so! Fingers crossed for you.
ClairePO Sorry AF arrived
FL My mc was a mmc too and I second everything Kate says. All mcs (and CPs) are cruel, but a mmc is particularly cruel. Especially when you find out at the 12 week scan that your body has been fooling you for a number of weeks

I meant 'or' not 'oh'

MMC sounds just awful. I hope to god I never have to go through one of those. I've only ever had one MC and that was when I was V young (like 16 )- a complete surprise pg. It was very early on (only 6 wks - prob cp) and a very long time ago.
I've been suspicious of a MC (or CP) twice. once was my last AF. But I figured as I'd had an 88 day cycle it was just a build up of AF

MrsEi25 · 07/02/2008 21:19

sam ggod luck with your scan tomorrow
xx ei xx

SparklyMummy · 07/02/2008 22:24

Just popped in after a hectic day. Looking forward to half term next week. I know a few people who have had MMC and I agree that they are sooo cruel.
Day 5 for me today...or 4 not really sure whether that brown discharge counts as day 1...what does everyone else think? I am tempted to buy some OPKs.
Also booking a night away next week for me and the DP so there might be some opportunities for babymaking then (and no toddler to interfear lol).
Good luck tomorrow SAM
Nos da all (goodnight) X

Thanks for updating list Emmsy, any sign of ov for you yet this cycle ?
I had another +ve opk this morning so will have to try and seduce dp tonight. Temps still low, just wish the rise would hurry up now ! Hopefully tomorrow...
How is everyone else ?
Good luck with scans DG and sambrads

twinklingfairy · 08/02/2008 09:39

Well, FF has finally decided that I have ov'd on CD19. I am norm CD17, but it has all been put out this month cos of a UTI. I don't believe them Ach well, not much I could do about it either way cos DH went off, on a course, on Tuesday. We did the best we could. Hope the wee guys held out for the couple of days, if I did ov on CD19

sparklymummy FF says that AF is counted from the first day of full flow, so looks like ou are back to CD4, sorry.

sambrads · 08/02/2008 10:37

hello ladies i had my scan today i am 6weeks and 3 days and i seen a heart beat cant believe it

its so so small and the mw said there is only one but cant be 100% certain but i suppose they have to say that

Hello everyone
So who's thinking of testing this weekend?? CD12 for me today, so hopefully getting busy with dh sometime soon It's 9.19pm Fri night here though so if he doesn't stop watching Lara Croft movie on tv, I'll be asleep
Great the scan went well Sambrad

Treats · 08/02/2008 11:55

Sambrads that must have been so lovely - lucky you!

NOAM - haven't particularly noticed that bd-ing close to ovulation is more painful, but perhaps it's because you're more anxious than normal?? I know that I feel a bit more tense - feeling that I HAVE to rather than WANT to. I'm sure a couple of beers will help!!

I had more EWCM this morning too - but I also noticed definite changes - my skin is better than it has been for days and my breasts are beginning to feel a bit tender. Not sure if that means I am ov'ing, or have ov'd, but will keep bd'ing all weekend, just to be sure .

sparklymummy I started getting pre-period brown spotting just a few months ago, and have had it for every period since. Not sure why. But my book says it doesn't 'count' as the first day of your period - the first day of 'proper' red bleeding is CD1. Hope that helps.

mibbes · 08/02/2008 12:24

Great news sambrads am so please for you
Sparklymummy I also get brown spotting pre-AF and these days don't count - have been taking Vit B6 to try and get rid of this as mine starts on 10dpo which could be luteal phase defect (it lasts for up to 6 days !). I'll post on here how this works out in the next 2 weeks.
Fairy sounds like you have done all you can - swimmers can last several days - I'm also hoping that they can last several days this cycle just in case don't manage bd tonight (off to the pub )
never & Treats it sounds like we are ov buddies as well as cycle buddies - yey !
Will make big effort to bd before tomorrow as swimmers from Wed night may not make it if I don't ov until tomorrow.

fruitloop79 · 08/02/2008 12:44

Afternoon ladies,
Hi sam wonderful news , how exciting!!! did they give you a picture to take home? My first pic of DS was when he was a mere 9 week old jumping bean. It was sooo funny to watch on the screen. I couldn't stop laughing! I look at the picture now and wonder how on earth was he so small! .
He's now a strapping 2.5 yr old

MrsEi25 · 08/02/2008 14:20

hi ladies
sam lovely news glad all is well
BTW DG posted on the symptom spotters thread about her scan if anyone wants to pop over and congratulate
i have resisted testing as yet due mainly to the fact that i got up late and had a docs appointment (which was a load of my a@#e but thats another story) and so i had it put right out of my mind so i will resist til sunday!! i am working early in the morning so i wont be able to test then either its like i am supposed to wait
how is everyone else??
xx ei xx

Emmsy1 · 08/02/2008 14:20

mibbes I ovulated on day 9, so I'm already 5 days past 'O' will be able to pee on a stick in another 5-6 days
congrats sambrads on seeing your bean's little HB it's a wonderful feeling X
digitalgirl welcome back, I hope you enjoyed your holiday? as I 'O' early this month digi does it mean that AF will be due on CD 23?
Also do you know if the cervical position stays high straight after 'O' if you conceive?
Kate really sorry that your doc couldn't have been more positive for you, I thought that seeing the HB and measuring the right amount of weeks would have been enough to stop any doubts, and that the bloods were just a 'blip' don't know what else to call them? I really do hope that all is well for you XX

mibbes · 08/02/2008 16:25

MrsEi your test resistance so far has been miraculous - I hope it is worth the wait and you get a BFP !
Emmsy Flip !!! After last cycle you are very quickly out of the starting blocks ! AM so pleased for you, you deserve super-short cycle this time ! Surely CD9 is way earlier than usual ? Look forward to you testing, I have everything crossed ! (except my legs of course..!)

digitalgirl · 08/02/2008 16:53

Scan went very well this morning! Measures 7+3 (New Year's conception) and has a heartbeat - hooray for me and sambrads

Am very relieved, now planning to remain as positive as I can. Spotting stopped yesterday, had a bit of orangey-brown CM today but looking a lot better than before.

kate my doc was rubbish at reassuring me. she was the one the put the wind up us when I told her I was spotting before going on holiday. she even said, 'do you think that's wise to go away? the airlines don't like it if your bleeding, you could have a miscarriage on the flight' . and so began a traumatic couple of weeks. I'm hoping to speak to her as little as possible from now on and just deal with the hospital and midwives who have more specialist experience.
I'd ignore your doctor and surround yourself with positive people who think positive thoughts

emmsy if you ov'ed earlier, then AF should be due earlier. Do you know how long your luteal phase is? As for cervix position, I think it's supposed to harden up and move down lower but not as low as if AF were due.

fairy I read on FF that BD-ing 2 days before Ov is the optimum time, so best of luck!

noam I used to get sensitive nips and get a lot 'softer' down below when ov'ing. i believe that was my body's way of getting me in the mood...altho sometimes those moods would swing and I would start an argument with DH.

mibbes you go girl! make sure DH doesn't get too pissed either, and slip him some brazil nuts (good for the little fellas)

kate2179 · 08/02/2008 17:40

YYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY for digitalgirl!!! Am so happy for you honey, you are 2 days further on than me ( but !

Am so at what your GP said though, do some of them just not have A CLUE?! If you're going to be sitting waiting and worrying wouldn't you rather do it in Mauritius than chez DG? I'm sure chez toi is lovely, but I think I know where I'd rather be! Maybe I should have spoken to your doc before you went away and told her my "I'm not going to say anything as I'm sure she needs a holiday and she'll only worry" theory?

Thanks for all your messages ladies, especially great to hear from my cycle buddies, as always! Feeling a bit better today because of them. Next scan will hopefully be 2 weeks today, should be 9+1 so hopefully if that's ok the 8-9week doom-mongers (my doctor!) will shut up! Just hoping and praying will not have any spotting etc in the mean time. Going for some accupuncture next week I think, so hopefully that will help... {{hugs}} to all

kate2179 · 08/02/2008 17:41

By "them" meant all the messages BTW! DH shouting in background to hurry up distracted me...

piper1984 · 08/02/2008 20:22

Hi Ladies

How is everyone today? MrsEi25 did you test yet????
My doctor rang me with my blood results from the clomid today, she reckons it worked 2 well!!!! she told me if no AF by monday to ring her? oh oh,she said i'm high risk for multible pg........... ah sure the more the merrier
