Sat - guess only two more mornings - then next one is Sat - I have fingers crossed for you x

Joolsiam · 08/04/2009 13:44

OMG - I really think it might be possible - have pink spotting at 11DPO !!!!!!!

iggypiggy · 08/04/2009 14:12

I really hope is your month - does sound hopeful

wasabipeanut · 08/04/2009 16:46

Iggy I'm so sorry to see that the worst has been confirmed for you. Enjoy your cheese and wine and give yourself some time to grieve. I thought I "got over" mine quickly but I now know that all I was doing was pushing the grief forward by convincing myself I'd get pg again really quickly. Try to resist any pressure to feel like you've got over things IYSWIM.

As for pills or natural approach only you can decide that. You may find that now you know for sure you can sort of let go. For me, this is when the bleeding started. If you have already started to spot then the process is underway, it just might take some time to happen fully.

C1ndy if you are lurking big hugs to you too. I am thinking of you too.

Jools - well this all sounds very positive lady! I look forward to seeing news next week.

I'll be offline for a few days anyway as we are off to the inlaws for Easter. I have no hopes for this cycle anyway. I have been spotting on and off and am on CD10 so there is definitely something peculiar happenning with my hormones. My tenps are all over the place (admittedly not helped by my recent tonsilitus or fact that ds has been sleeping badly for the last few days) so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Patience was never my strong point but I don't have much choice this time.

Happy Easter everyone

iggypiggy · 08/04/2009 17:57

wasabi thanks - am actually trying to be ok about it all - so I guess is prob not a good thing.. but expect it might 'hit' me again when start bleeding.

Hope you have a good easter

Am thinking of you too c1ndy

funtimewincies · 08/04/2009 19:36

Oh iggy . Lots of wine and hugs and we're here when it hits.

Yellowflowers · 08/04/2009 21:11

Burst into tears on tube for no reason. At home now and still feel rubbish. Feels like delayed pmt really. Didn't have any this month (usually get it day before first day of flow). Or maybe because I a visited a friend and new baby today. Must pull self together.

jools sounds very promising. Here's hoping.

So sorry Iggy my thoughts are with you big hugs xx It is a horrible thing to go through and so you just need to be kind to yourself, I echo Jools make sure you have painkillers and lots of pads to hand.

All sounds promising Jools, fingers crossed for a nice Easter surprise!!

Yellow I think the TTC business can just get to you when you least expect it sometimes and make you feel really tearful for know apparent reason.

Business as usual with me. Managed to convince DH to BD last night despite him being under the weather and was glad I did as had strong + OPK today, so guess what we will be upto this Easter break!! (small children permitting!)

Yellowflowers · 09/04/2009 10:11

thanks pinky - and felt a whole lot better when dh came home and just let me cry for a bit and was very nice and kept saying it will happen for us. The thing is, I fell in love and got married a while after my friends so I guess babies will happen for me a while after them too. And if having babies is like finding dh then i was doing everything I could - going out, internet dating etc - but it still happebed with someone I know and when I least expected it. So babies probably the same - I will do everything right but it will still be a surprise and out of my control.

Thinking of you iggy. Also cindy if you are around.

Very much hoping for you jools

S*d the mulled wine - am passing over what remains of my bottle of Absolut Vodka - yummy stuff

Had a couple of dizzy spells earlier and am unusually ravenous . Also burst into tears after trying to book a holiday, finding the original dates weren't available and we would have to go a day earlier and pay another £100

ray81 · 09/04/2009 10:34

hi guys,

Am panicing today as did a test this morn and it wasnt as strong as the other i have done, it was still strong but not as strong so am worried that my hormones are dropping.
Have phoned the epu and left a message for them to come back to me asap. just want some reassurance realy.

Why do we put ourselves through all this.

funtimewincies · 09/04/2009 10:37

It's all I've got left, sorry, except for dh's beer (note the supportive tee-totalism in these trying early weeks).

Jools - Won't say that it sounds promsising as I'll jinx you, so... you're imagining these symptoms and there is no way that you're pg and it's all PMT !

funtimewincies · 09/04/2009 10:38

Repeat the manta ray - tests only tell you that you're pregnant, not how pregnant you are.

Deep breaths...

Joolsiam · 09/04/2009 10:46

Ray - PG tests really tell you nothing after a while - even two tests out of the same box might have different amounts of dye / manufacturing issues etc and show faints / stronger lines.

Hold on to the fact that (I think ?) you have got further on this time than before - it has to be a good sign

Yellowflowers · 09/04/2009 12:20

Ray - am sure it is fine. Much love for you though...

jools - am v excited...

Joolsaim, funtime and yellow thanks so much for your support.

Joolsiam keep trying to tell myself the same thing, i had a look at another test i did and the pg line was realy dark but the control line was realy faint and the one i did this morn both lines are exzctly the same so thinking possibly just different amounts of dye etc.

I feel ok and boobs are still sore and i just keep thinking tthat if i am going to lose there is nothing i can do to stop it at all and worrying too much is not going to help matters. Its realy hard to think it but if this is meant to be it will be wont it.

No more sodding pg tests for me thats it just going to wait for the scan which is a week tomorrow and this week has gone realy quickly so hopefully next week will too.

queenie1 · 09/04/2009 15:35

ray - please try not to worry. being anxious is one of the few 'behaviour' things that can impact negatively on your pregnancy. You just have to believe this is going to happen unless you have undeniable signs that it's not.

So pleased to hear you've got an early scan next week. It helped me so much to see my little bean alive and well on the screen. Hope you have a relaxing easter which involves NO MORE pregnancy tests and before you know it it will be time for your scan. Love to you.

yellow - sorry to hear you've been feeling down. Your DH sounds like he's being really supportive though. Hope you have a good long weekend together and maybe stay away from friends with babies for a little while?

queenie1 · 09/04/2009 15:37

jools - forgot to say that I am keeping everything crossed for you!!!! I'm off for a few days but looking forward to finding out how you get on over the weekend .

Joolsiam · 09/04/2009 16:28

Thankyou Queenie

Will be thinking of you Ray - if the news for me is good on Sat, we can go sit in the corner and obsess together ! My MC was 11+5 so I will have a looooonnngggggg, agonising wait before I feel even vaguely safe

Am absolutely exhausted right now - seriously considering packing up and going home for a snooze - is that a symptom

kittycatcat · 10/04/2009 12:06

Hello everyone

iggypiggy · 11/04/2009 11:36

Hi all - no news from me - still waiting for somthing to properly happen - although have had spotting for 9 days now

Just not liking the waiting.

Anyway - Ray, hope you are ok, please try not to worry. x

Big chocolate covered easter wishes to everyone [bgrn] - won't be on much as am away from home at the mo. x

iggypiggy · 11/04/2009 11:36

Yellowflowers · 12/04/2009 11:35

Any news jools?

OP posts:
Joolsiam · 12/04/2009 19:00

Hi - haven't tested yet.

Despite no AF (was due last night and I've had none of the usual spotting), I now have NO pg symptoms at all apart from raging insomnia.

Am scared to test really, as a BFN will be a disappointment and I am terrified that a BFP will bring anothe MC

Will probably have to do the test tomorrow to confirm once and for all - will keep you posted ladies
