I get a scan in about 4 weeks so I'll just wait. As I said to Diege last night I can spend the £70 I would've spend on a scan on shoes and baby clothes.

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 15:40

It will be fine, and without making it sound worse as this goes for everyone, even if something went wrong it isn't because you had/didn't have a symptom.

kayzisexpecting · 02/05/2008 15:42

It will be fine. I have decided it will. No point worrying as that could be harmful.

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 15:45

Exactly, just count down the hours days till the scan

DS1 has been invited to a party, somewhere I have never heard of, got to go and search for it now! Why can't people put the address on these bloody things?

kayzisexpecting · 02/05/2008 15:47

Poor you. Do you have any idea where it is?

belgo · 02/05/2008 15:47

Congratulations Natalie Jane! You can buy those maternity clothes now!!!

When's your due date?

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 15:52

Nope not a clue, and nor does Yell.com!

Thanks Belgo, I don't know exactly sometime mid-late Jan I'd guess

And yes maternity clothes, I didn't order any in the end so I will have to wait out the BH weekend now! Knew I should have done it!

kayzisexpecting · 02/05/2008 15:58

I told you it was a sensible idea.

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 02/05/2008 16:00

Wow!! Haven't caught up yet but just seen the title. CONGRATULATIONS NJ !!! Wooooo hooooo!

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 16:03

And others called me insane Kay!! LOL I had actually decided to do it, just hadn't got round to doing it yet!

Thanks Cosmo

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 02/05/2008 16:06

Bit random but this morning while I was brushing my teeth my gums started to bleed in three places - and in the middle of the gum - not the top or bottom. It was quite painful and has never happened before. Now, googled it and what comes up but bleeding gums can be a sign of pregnancy! Now, almost certain there is no way I am, but how odd...Maybe it is something to do with hormone levels.....Any thoughts?

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 16:09

Cosmo, you did get your period didn't you? (or am I going mad - again?)

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 02/05/2008 16:11

NJ - yeah I think that was what it was. It lasted for only two days though. Have only done the deed once, with a condom, and that wasn't around the time of the EWCM.

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 16:12

2 days? Implantation?

Test test test C'mon, let's make it two BFP's today

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 02/05/2008 16:13

Flippin' heck! Don't scare me Surely can't be possible. ...... [Cosmo turns very very white]

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 16:18

Well you had a very odd cycle, it would explain the short 'period' especially after a long cycle, and your gums are bleeding.

I'd test just to rule it out, if you absolutely haven't had any sperm near your fanjo, not even a quick dip, or you touching him then touching yourself, then maybe still test and if BFN go to doc's. It might be worth you going anyway, to have only two days of bleeding after a long cycle is a bit odd - certainly not majorly odd, but odd all the same.

lardylumps · 02/05/2008 16:28

oh my god NJ congrats.............

LuckySalem · 02/05/2008 16:30

NJ - Get your arse on our thread and let us know the news too, can't believe I had to find out this way!!

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 02/05/2008 16:33

Thanks NJ. I am a bit worried now - self-diagnosing through google is not clever and now I'm getting concerned. Was a it surprised by the short period, if I'm honest but we literally have only done it the once with a condom and that was a few days before all the EWCM....oh bugger.....I'm seeing the Dentist on Tuesday, so I will see if he can tell me what might have caused it.

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 16:33

LOL Thanks LL

Jen, will do Miss

lardylumps · 02/05/2008 16:35

test cosmo test......

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 16:37

Cosmo, I'd test before you see your dentist, there are something they need to know before they do anything, and pregnancy is one of them.

I don't know whether to egg you on or not, can understand really wanting to be pregnant, but not just yet.

But one thing is for sure, you are much better off knowing one way or the other.....

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 02/05/2008 16:39

Don't have a test in the house LL!! Was not expecting to need one until October. Trying to remain sensible and not attribute this to possible pregnancy. Probably just have dodgy gums. Has never happened before though so is rather strange. However, I did floss a lot the other day....could be connected...

NatalieJane · 02/05/2008 16:44

Go and get a test, put your mind at rest. If there has been no contact whatsoever with sperm, then you do have very little to worry about.

And at this point you can take whatever the result as a correct one because of the timings.

Just do it really quickly and get it over with, no point stewing!

tinkiswaiting · 02/05/2008 16:51

hi cosmo i had bleeding gums a couple of days ago too!! on 4dpo
today have had abdominal twinges and was freezing earlier
