Thought I'd take the plunge and begin new thread to follow on from this one thread

All welcome.

yellow - great to hear you have appt with doctor next Monday. Sounds like you should write down all the questions and queries you have before you go as, if you're anything like me, you'll forget some of the really important ones and then kick yourself later.

kyte - agree. hold out for as long as you can.

Queenie Hooray!!! congratulations!!

kyte - re spotting - don't know but other thread seems to think this is something doctor should check out.

Anyone think of things I should ask doctor then?

My long list is:

Will smear test affect ttc
Could lletz suregery had in early 20s affect ttc now
Can I have day 3 and 21 bloods
Do we need to test thyroid levels?
Is spotting pre Af a problem?
I believe I've had some CPs - could this be a lack of progestorone?
Can I be referred to fertility doc
Am I on right dose of metformin
At what stage do we try clomid
Can we test DH's sperm

yellow this is the only thing i could find on spotting here

am sure you seen it tho

Hi iggy - this is what worried me
thread

yellow I can see why that might worry you, but everyone is different so is good you going to GP so you can start ticking things off to set your mind at rest - or at least get an answer. xx

iggy - well done on updating list. Can't quite believe I've got a BFP next to my name!!

yellow - your list sounds fairly comprehensive. Can't think of anything significant you've overlooked. Best of luck with it and will be thinking of you next Monday. I hope you get the sort of responses / help you're after. I remember when I finally got referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic - it felt such a relief to speak to someone who knew what they were talking about. Hoping you get the referral you're after (obviously would tell doctors you've been trying for 18 months even though you've only been 'properly' trying for nine). But also, remember there may well be nothing wrong - some people do just take a while to conceive. Hugs to you. xx

Hi all,

queenie - am on cd22 today - af due sat or sun i think but really not very hopeful. feel very premenstrual and generally fed up with TTC! Dh and I have had a big heart to heart today and have realised that it (TTC) is taking over everything and we have got to stop that! It might even be that we give up actively TTC - our DD is 5 in December and I feel we are missing out on her little life by obsessing about a sibling that isn't happening!!

yellow - your list sounds about right, I hope your GP is a good one and give you some answers. i think queenie is right, I would stress the 18months.

kyte, good luck when you do test - its all sounding hopeful so far though - good luck!

hi everyone else!!

Oooh, I'm so glad I popped in today... I'm really struggling with the not telling anyone (and therefore not having anyone to talk to). I keep going from trying to think positively - I really do believe that it helps - to trying to not get too excited and happy just yet. This morning when I woke up I felt completely "normal" and of course had a mad panic thinking it's all over... so while it's horrible, in a way I'm glad that Iggy and Queenie you've been having similar thoughts.

I've also discovered that you only get a 20 week scan where we live. I can't wait that long, I'm still waiting to find out what caused the food poisoning so am constantly worried. Luckily it seems that you can get a private scan for around £50 and as I'm now 6 weeks (there's another good reason for temping, I know exactly when I ovulated, which means that the conventional way of working the dates from LMP is 5 days off) they should be able to find a heartbeat already. Will call them first thing in the morning.

Also, Kyte if you do cave in and test early, remember I tested on Monday and got a BFN, followed by a faint BFP on Thursday (D-Day) and I've just read about someone who didn't get a BFP until week 7.

Queenie and Iggy are you feeling tired? I feel like I need a nap every single day...
Also, the cramping has stopped. I hope that's a good sign. Funny how symptoms worry you both when you have them and when you don't! I also seem to find it near on impossible to concentrate on anything (typing such a marathon message is a real achievement) I'm not sure if that's due to being so distracted and having so much on my mind or if it's the famous pregnancy brain.

I'm going to chase DH away from the telly so that I can make sure I get to watch Mistresses.

One more thing... wasabi stick with the temping, it's such an exciting feeling when you finally get the spike!

I knew I forgot something...
funtime that bug might be a good thing... I read somewhere that the beans implanting is actually kind of an invasion, and our bodies can only cope with fighting so many things at once, therefore a bug might come at a good time to distract your body about the little alien implanting!

yellow good luck at the GP! I think it's fab that you go in armed with a list.

AND - good luck and babydust to everyone in the middle of the BD-fest.

Now I'm really going. One strange side effect to being pregnant is that I've lost my sweet tooth. I really want to curl up on the couch with some ice cream, but I wouldn't be able to eat it.

Oooh congratulations kyte Excellent news!

broodzilla no am not feeling too sleepy - although am waking up earlier and going to be earlier - but I think that might also be related to not drinking! I stopped feeling sick on Saturday, so have been worrying ever since then.. still having 'twinges' and every once in a while a small feeling of sickness.. but mainly feel normal again - which I agree - I can't decide if is good or bad

Morning all

kyte That is fantastic, huge congratulations. your message 'smiles a soppy smile and said hello to my stomach' made me go all fuzzy
But for DS. I hope they get him better quickly for you.

broodzilla i can't believe you can't have a scan til 20 weeks. How awful. Deffo go private and send us the pic beams yellow [hugs] i hope you get all the answers and that everything is ok.

kyte - huge congratulations to you!!! I thought you might be and thought of you when I woke up this morning. So pleased for you - and great to have another person to wait out these first few (scary) weeks. How are you feeling?

broodzilla / iggy - I too fluctutate between feeling PG and then normal but in the words of my friend, 'don't meet troubles half way' and in the main I'm feeling positive about this one...In terms of any sort of symptoms, I'm knackered and have had afternoon or early evening nap every day since late last week!!! (Luckily I'm doing a lot of work from home at the moment so am just going with it). My cramping is nothing like it was but comes and goes. My sore boobs also come and go but in general I'm very conscious of them feeling tender and bigger. No sickness yet but apparently that often doesn't kick in until a bit later (around weeks 6 - 8) if at all. As to concentration, I haven't done a scrap of work since last Thursday so must try to concentrate today or I'll get fired!!! Oh the roller coaster of it all. Just want to get to scan in 12 days time to find out how things are down there.

On that note, Broodzilla, so shit about not having a scan until 20 weeks. Would definitely get an early private scan if you can. That way you get early reassurance if all is progressing well or an early warning if it looks more problematic.

Oh that's good news Kyte
