() (**)
i will bring our list over in a sec after i have linked
COME ON GIRLS WE WILL GET TO THAT ANTENATAL THREAD BEFORE EMMSY POPS!!!!!!!
xx ei xx

Thanks - Yes I did think about a letter but I think I am going to leave it a few days so that I calm down a bit. When I was doing the councelling they got me to write 'anger letters' not to send just to get things off my chest and be as selfish and childish as I liked - I found they really helped so I have started one of them and will finish later. I kind of want to leave reaction for few days so that she can maybe have a little think about the effect her letter would've bearing in mind she knows I would've had to open on my own with DP away. Plus once it's said you can't unsay it - can you.
A bit like emmsy I find it hard to stand up to her and the one time I do she flounces like mad !
Just to let you know that not all in the teehee house. I had another card from DP today and am going to open pressie (found in his jumper drawer) now .......

.......aw it's a lovely vanilla candle- my house may not be as sorted as mum would like but it will be beautifully scented

yarnie crossed posts again ! Even if they can't get a hb, they should be able to see if the sac is doing what it should - shouldn't they? I'm not an expert though.

I've just got your name - Yarnie=Yarn=knitting ? - aah - I am slow. Also a big knitter but find it hard to find nice unisex things for babies so unless friends know what they are having I get a bit stuck.

Yarnie Oh I am so sorry you are going through this. I had a very small bleed at 6 weeks too - it was only a tiny amount but it was bright red so I feared the worst. I called the hospital and was told to rest and come in if it got heavy and painful. It didn't so I just carried on and all was well at 12 week scan. Since I told friends am PG and about the bleed over half of them had experienced bleeds before 12 weeks, it is far more common than you realise. All I can suggest is to relax as much as possible and hopefully they will see a wee HB tomorrow. Isn't Fruity about the same as you week-wise ? They were able to see all is ok with her so I'm sure they'll see something {{{hugs}}}
teehee your mum sounds like a nightmare, poor you. I am lucky and my mum is lovely so not much help with advice. On the other hand bless your DP leaving you wee pressies

Thanks so much, Mibbes. Your and Emmsy's advice goes a long way to making me feel better . Yep, I think Fruity and me are about the same (on my calculations, I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow), so I'm keeping my fingers welded crossed that the scan (assuming I have one), will be reassuring.

DF brought me flowers which also made me feel better He is very kind to me .

Quick watch BBC2 NOW!!!

hi ladies
yarnie sorry to hear you have had a bleed i have my fingers firmly crossed for you for tomorrow and i think they will probably either do a scan tomorrow or book you in for an early one in a few days. either way i hope it goes well
teehee sorry you have had mum trouble i echo what has been suggested to write her a letter back. it sounds like she has been quite insensitive and selfish and i would tell her this. this might make the situation worse but she still needs to know that she cant be so domineering and bullying. i have a friend who did this via email when i was 34 weeks preg. she had a bee in her bonnet cos i wasnt able to go to her sons birthday party as i was already doing something and she asked me the day before she is quite controlling and didnt like that i didnt drop all of my plans for her. anyway she sent me a really nastily worded email to which i sent a quite calm and collected one (if i do say so myself) back politely asking her to get the guts to speak to me face to face if she had a problem and funnily enough i didnt see her for 2 months until i had DD and she came round to apologise and see my baby
i think a letter is the best way to answer her as you cant lose your cool in a letter and say things you dont mean. you need to think about what you write which beats blurting things out face to face hands down i hope you manage to sort it out and FWIW im always here if you want a chat do you have MSN? there a few of us on here who chat on there quite often join in if you want
fruity im glad you have managed to sort things out with your DP
sparkly sounds like you are having a great time on your summer hoils
nothin from me my temp was low this mornin again so i havent oved yet from what i can see on my chart ah well i will in a few days hopefully
hi to everyone else

Hi girls, sorry, I didn't read the posts. Just wanted you all to watch that BBC2 program. Did anyone see it?

Yarnie Like I said in antenatal Don't panic, easier said than done though How do you feel now?

Teehee Bloody mum's eh! I'm sure they only ever want to see the negative side. Probably their way of proving their job isn't done yet iyswim? What a lovely caring DP you have there. I'm very

I'm getting a spot on my chin. I'm blaming DP for stressing me out - Thanks for listening BTW, you girls are stars

Oh my goodness, what an afternoon on here!

Yarnie I'm so sorry to hear that you're having this added stress. As you've been told, it could very well be nothing. If you are only just 6 weeks they may be reluctant to scan you just yet as there is no guarantee of seeing a hb at 6 weeks even if everything is absolutely fine. If they do scan you it may well be a trans-vaginal scan. Frankly, I have had LOADS of them (), and I promise you they are nothing to worry about - it's not even as undignified as I expected, in fact less so (and less uncomfortable) than a smear. Please don't worry about the scan starting a bleed. I know it's absolutely no consolation, but frankly if you are going to mc then having a scan or not will make no difference whatsoever. In all liklihood everything is absolutely fine, and even if there is no hb yet, the scan should show the yolk sack and confirm that everything is in the right place and progressing nicely. Thinking positively, tomorrow will be the first time you get to see your baby!!! Please shout if you'd like any further info.
FWIW if they offer to do repeat hcg blood tests unless it's to rule out an ectopic I'd strongly suggest you say no. In 1 in 5 cases 'bad' hcg results mean nothing, but they don't always tell you that at the time... But maybe that's another conversation. (((hugs))) to you, will be thinking of you.

TeeHee so sorry about your situation with your mum, the last thing you need at the moment! I agree with the others, I think the best thing would be to write when you feel ready. I can't believe she's being so insensitive as to cause you added stress at the moment, with everything you've been through. with her and for you.

News from the K2179 household, it seems my crazy thoughts were just that. Had a sharp drop in temperature this morning, even though our room was BOILING last night, and AF showed up BIG TIME (TMI?!? ) this afternoon. Am fine about it though. Was so embarrassed to think of telling my consultant I was pg after I promised faithfully I wouldn't be one of those silly ladies who push for tests and then get pg before the results come in so there's nothing that can be done for them even if there is a problem... Plus this is the first 28 day cycle I have ever had. That's ever at all in my whole life ever!
Although now I have swapped worrying about whether I am pg for worrying that my LP was too short... I think it was only 10-11 days when I'm pretty sure it's normally 14... Does anyone know the ok range for LP length please?

to everyone else. Night night ladies, sweet dreams xx

kate sorry AF turned up for you hun but im glad you are feeling ok about it all
i have done some googling a while back about LP length as mine was 10 days for a few months it seems that 10 days is the shortest 'normal' length LP whilst 16 is considered to be the longest length it should be. when do you believe you Oved? your LP is the time between 1dpo and the day before your AF arrives in full flow (the day of full flow AF is cd1 not the last day of LP iyswim) it can be lengthened by taking vit B6 i have heard but if it is short it may be due to another reason- mine was underactive thyroid my LP has lengthened to 12 days from 10 days since having my medication adjusted so hopefully it will have a positive effect on my TTC efforts
i hope that helps and doesnt confuse you and also that i didnt tell you alsorts of info you already knew

Just catching up on yesterday's events...
Yarnie How are you this morning? Has the bleeding stopped? Good luck for your appt later - keep us posted. As everybody else has said, bleeding doesn't necessarily mean the end. We've just had another happy ending over on the Knickercheckers Anonymous thread - the lady concerned had some bleeding at 10 wks, passed a clot and had cramping but the scan showed a healthy bean with hb and the doctors had no explanation for the bleeding. Several other ladies on the thread had massive bleeds early on in their pgs too and one had her baby a couple of weeks ago. Have a look at the thread under pregnancy if you want. Fingers crossed for you anyway and we'll be thinking of you this morning.
THLD Sorry your Mum is being so difficult I agree with all the advice given so far. It must be so hard for you having been through a difficult time and the fact that she doesn't seem to understand Hope you can sort things out soon.
Kate Sorry AF turned up but you seem OK with that and as you say, probably best to wait until all tests/investigations are out of the way and you get the green light from your consultant.
Hope everybody has a better day today

Yarnie hope you haven't had any more bleeding and that all is ok today at your appt, I will be thinking of you. xxxx

Thanks for all the reassurance and advice everyone. I haven't had any bleeding since yesterday. I have had lots of medical intervention in my time, so I'm not worried about anything they might do, but it's nice to know what to expect. I'm feeling a bit jittery this morning and very much hope they do a scan so I can know either way and chill out a bit.

Yarnie Good luck today - will be thinking of you. Everything is crossed that you will see a healthy bean for the first time.

Emmsy Meant to say yesterday that I think it was the day of your mammouth drive, hope you are taking it easy today and that it was OK (well-as OK as it can be)

Kate Think you are right to wait until tests back. I have recently had some blood tests for antibodies and DP had them for genetic problems and I felt so much more up for ttc once I got them back with the all clear. You've plenty of time.

Fruity How are things with you today? Does peace reign chez Fruity

Queenie Yes I do have MSN-just got it to use with DP. My MN e-mail is not my MS e-mail though and can't seem to change MN e-mail on here, do technical help needed to find you on MSN please!

Hey to everyone else- thanks for all you kind words and suggestions, they made me feel loads better. Going to enjoy my day off and try and forget it for a day or two and then think I will do the letter thing with a suggestion that we meet for a coffee.

Hope everyone is good - looks like it is going to be another sunny one. Wonder what exciting summer activity Sparkly has planned.

morning ladies
yarnie good luck with your appointment
teehee my email addy is [email protected] so add me if you want to chat (and that goes for anyone who wants to chat here aswell good idea to suggest to meet for coffee but i would try and arrange it for somewhere neutral ie not in your house or hers that way if she feels the need to shout or be nasty then you will have witnesses and also she will feel the need to be more restrained in public etc
hi to everyone else il catch up properly later

Afternoon girlies

We've all had a tough few days by the looks of things. I hope you're all feeling a little better today
I just had my neighbour over with her 4 month old and 7 yr old boys. I got the paddling pool out and have realised that lots of children, water and play bark does not mix I've got a trail of bark all over my carpet from the kiddies going in and out all morning.
Ah well at least they all had fun
We've got friends coming over this afternoon for a BBQ and I think I might have a rest at lunchtime. I can't stop yawning today. I've been eating biscuits all morning as well I forgot to have brekkie and my neighbour brought over some delicious posh jaffa cake style biscuits [mmmmmmmm] Also I had been to the shop to get some choc chip cookies. Not sure if the children ate most of them or I did

Yarnie, if your bleeding has stopped, sounds ok, my 2 m/c it didn't stop, was like Emmsy's. Fingers crossed you get good news at your appt.
Sparkly, surely one of us should get a bfp this month I've felt quite hormonal tonight, but that could have something to do with dh sitting on his arse not doing much, when I had 2 children all over me from the moment I walked in the door I won't be testing early, never have, always wait to see if af is a few days late before being tempted. I got my days mixed up last night, af is due next Wed, so a week today.
Teehee, I agree with writing back to her, if she can get things off her chest, so can you. If you didn't ask for her help, then spell that out, sounds like she has too much time on her hands and too many opinions....... mind you, I imagine my mum would have been much the same, and I would give anything to have her around, telling me those opinions, so it's hard to find a balance that suits everyone.

I forgot to say, Yarnie best of luck for today, thinking of you, I'm sure it'll be all fine xx

Sounds like you've had a lovely day Fruity
Winter here, started off at 6deg this morning but got to 20deg during the day so shouldn't complain
Off to bed now, need to be at dd1's school tomorrow at 7.15am, for a healty breakfast they are putting on for the grade 1's. Makes it easy to help out as I can do it before work, she is so excited

My blood results were ok, 11.6 exactly the same as when I was 10wks! Midwife said to continue to take the Iron as the levels will fall from now on MW thinks the dizziness last was week was because of my lowish Blood pressure, it was 105/65 last Thursday, I asked her would this make me dizzy for approx 2 1/2 days none stop, she said it shouldn't have, so really none the wiser, but not going to worry as long as feeling good now I am going to do a little packing in a few minutes.

Did something stupid on Monday, took the children to West Kirby and managed to badly burn my bump & my legs. The pain isn't as bad today, but getting out of bed in the night for my wee's and trying to get out of bed this morning was excrutiating, once the blood had run back into the burnt areas I could stand up,I'm ok if I keep moving. I applied SF50 to the children but didn't put anything on myself was going to keep this 'stupidity' to myself, but thought may as well share it, as Ei did.How is your sunburn Ei? scully nice that you help out with things at the school from time to time,if the school's out there are anything like ours, then they need as much help as they can get, I usually help with summer/christmas fares etc...xxx

Hi everyone. Just a quick update to let you all know that everything is fine (PHEW!). I had to wait one million years (or thereabouts) as some poor lady had a ruptured ectopic. The sac and the hb was easily visible. Only 4mm in size but matches my dates, so all is well. Thank you again for being so supportive .

THLD yes! Tuesday was the 'big drive' day. Really pleased it's over for a few weeks, think brother is under the impression that I will be giving him a lift back on 16th August(although he hasn't asked me directly yet) that's the day we come home from our hols, I am not aswering my mobile to anyone the few days before that, as no intention of starting another journey the day we come home!(will reply to sparklys text though!)

FANTASTIC NEWS YARNIE so very pleased for you, big cuddly hug coming your way!

Yesssss! Yarnie How was it seeing that little heartbeat? I can't wait for my scan tomorrow!

Yarnie So pleased everything is OK for you hun, sorry I wasn't about earlier to reassure you
Fruity Good luck for tomorrow

Hi ladies,
I went to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang last night which was amazing. The sets were incredible!!
I also dragged DP to see Mama Mia today whilst DD was at nursery. I enjoyed that too. Am feeling a bit crappy today though. Think it's to do with the weather...or maybe a symptom . I woke up this morning dying for a wee which doesn't normally happen. Knowing my luck I just have a water infection lurking .
Ei Are you managing to BD often? This is quite a late ovulation for you isn't it?
Kate I'm sorry TEW got you.
Tee Add me to msn too if you like. My email is clouisewood at hotmail dot com.
Emmsy Glad blood results were ok. Hope you get lots of time to relax on your holiday.
Yarnie Excellent news.
Fruity Good luck for tomorrow. Can't wait to see some pics.

I think I might go for a lie down. My throat is really sore and I feel soooo tired. Have a lovely evening all.
