Hi Glask - congrats on your anniversary even if you don't really celebrate it!

GYo · 21/07/2008 10:18

Morning Playing, Tink, Glask and everyone else
Happy Anniversary any Glask ? when is the London trip??

No NJ on line this morning?

Hope everyone had lovely w/ends.

Just back from the GP re the bleeding. I was overwhelmed at how pleasant and helpful the doctor was, made me feel much more relaxed about it all and has arranged an early scan this week (awaiting day/time) to check things out.

What is weird is that he thinks I?m more like 6 or 7wks not 5 and half weeks. I know that I ovulated late which makes my last AF quite a long time ago? Not sure anyway he reckons my due date is 14/3 not 19/3.

Morning

Earlyt scan GYo - thats exciting! I wonder how he worked your dates out? Did he use a little round card?

Cosmo - Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread is getting lucky every day.

I am going to change my name now because my dh found out my name and I hate that because I cant talk about him

Playingthe9monthwait · 21/07/2008 10:30

Morning GYo - glad your gp was nice. TBH gps have no idea about EDD, they use their nice little wheel which assumes you have a 28 day cycle and ov on CD14. Thats why my EDD is 6th March, when in fact it is bound to be later than that. So if you know when you ov'd I wouldn't worry, the scan will soon show who is right.

glaskham · 21/07/2008 10:32

London trip is from the 1st Aug - 4th Aug!! I'm so exited!! We're going to see the new Batman film wjile were there too for DH's bday- he's getting so exited!!

GYo · 21/07/2008 10:34

yeah he used the wheel thing- I even told him when i thought I'd Ov'd. Guess if Im right and he is wrong then an early scan will be way to early to see much.

Will see

LOL re name change - unknown one... Im sure we will work out who you are

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 21/07/2008 10:34

Morning everyone. GYo your GP sounds lovely, unlike mine!

Can anyone answer my question? I have been getting up to go to the loo in the early hours of the morning for the past couple of days. Never had to before (well apart from when pg). Am only 9dpo, so am I reading too much into it? Also have a funny felling really low down. Again, probably me wanting to feel signs!

Any advice? Thanks. x

glaskham · 21/07/2008 10:34

right i'm off to get myself and the kids dressed!! will probs be about later- although ds is still at nursery today and tomorrow and today we're allowed to go in for a party with the kids and to see their reports!!

tata for now ladies!! xxx

2notenuff · 21/07/2008 10:37

What types of folic acid is everyone taking?

lastboxoftampons · 21/07/2008 10:49

GYo Glad your doc has been so helpful. As for the dating - they'll be able to tell you definitively at your scan. The nurse at my GP got out her wheel and was insisting too. I also tried to tell her that I ovulate late, but she wouldn't listen. When I had my scan they pushed me backed a week and I felt vindicated if not a little at having to 'repeat' week 6! Best of luck with it! Have you had any more spotting?

GYo · 21/07/2008 10:57

Hi Lbox

Hows things with you?

Thanks for your good wishes- not really had anymore bleeding maybe a tinybit more yesterday but I had to search for it. I guess it could have been leftover from saturday (did a lot of lifting/ stretching to open windows on sat which cant have helped).

2Notenuff- hello. do we know you ? Holland and Barratt if you are really asking

Playingthe9monthwait · 21/07/2008 11:13

HappyNewYear - tis hard to know. Could be a symptom, I had them before my BFP or it could be the mind playing tricks. Hard to tell

2note - I am taking Santogen ProNatal (which has folic acid) with Omega 3. Wanted to make sure I was getting the correct amount of vits as well as the folic acid. Taking it rather than pregnacare basically because it has a higher dose of folic acid and is cheaper

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 21/07/2008 11:22

Thanks, playingthe9monthwait. I suppose I will just have to wait for the 28th!!

tinkisagracefulshamu · 21/07/2008 11:26

GYo · 21/07/2008 11:29

Got my early scan appt for tomorrow morning. Cant believe how quickly the doctor sorted it out.

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 21/07/2008 11:34

Too early to test for me, methinks. AF (never guessed what this stands for!) due on 28th. Determined not to do an early test so we have a week yet! Must be strong and not early test!

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 21/07/2008 11:35

GYo, oooh tomorrow, good luck and keep us posted. Well done for prompt service Mr/Mrs Doctor!!

lastboxoftampons · 21/07/2008 11:40

Hi Gyo am feeling quite fed up with TTC actually, but other than that, I guess okay

2note I'm also taking Santogen prenatal - but with a ton of other supplements to try to correct various deficiencies on my part!

Playingthe9monthwait · 21/07/2008 11:42

Hi Tink - officially 7+5, in reality 7+1/2. Going with my offical dates for now (only cos its easier) but well aware they will put me back a few days at my scan, potentially as much as a week although I would be surprised if its that much, as I got 2 really clear BFPs on CD35, so must have been "due" a few days before that. just have to wait and see, its not as if a few days will make much of a difference.

GYo · 21/07/2008 11:50

Lbox- understand you feeling fed up. Must be a long road for you now.

Have you thought about having any reflexology? Not had personal experience of this but there was a lady on another thread who'd found it helpful for TTC- she had PCOS.

Try and keep smiling

Heebeejeebee · 21/07/2008 12:24

Hi all

GYo - good news about the early scan - keep us posted!

LBox - also feeling really fed up with it all at the moment. September (would have been due date) is looming and I don't even want to think about that at the moment..

I've been having acupuncture which seems to be doing something (AF has been extremely regular - now just need it to stay away!).

2note - I'm shelling out a fortune taking Zita West's conception vits as they seems to have massive amounts of absolutely everything!

lastboxoftampons · 21/07/2008 12:39

Hi HeeBee Late Sept/early Oct was my due date, so I know just how you're feeling Was so sure I'd be pg by now - was pregnant on first try with the mc, so the fact that my cycle seems entirely screwed up now 4 months on is really making me and . I remember you were having tests done - any results yet?

Cosmogirl · 21/07/2008 13:01

Popped home for lunch so thought I'd pop on quickly.

Tink/Playing - yep am feeling the paper cup idea, much more sensible . Will do that tomorrow morning first thing with the last FR.

Gyo - fab news about doctors being so proactive.

How soon did people contact drs after BFP. Four weeks seems a bit early to be calling them...

Heebeejeebee · 21/07/2008 13:03

Hi there - mine was 30 Sept, so pretty much the same! Took me a while to get pg in the first place, but like you I was convinced it would happen quickly...

Still waiting for the letter from the hospital - I was hoping that the referral would ease the frustration a little, but it doesn't seem to be making much difference so far!

Onwards and upwards...

GYo · 21/07/2008 13:09

Hi Cosmo

Defo recommend papercup, so much easier then you can be sure the stick has had the right amount of wee exposure (sorry for those eating lunch!)

I rang my doctors at 4wks + 4 and asked what I should do, which was leave my name on a list for the midwife to call me at 8wks. No need to see doctor apparently.

I only went today re concerns about some medication I was on but told to stop and re bleeding. So glad I did have reason to go. Otherwise, when you get BFP for 1st time its like nomansland and you get no guidance on what feels like the most important time....
