Moon I'm sure dp is more worried about you than his birthday. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and will lurk around lunchtime in case you want to talk after. Stay strong honey xxx

I don't think there's any point calling the hospital as it is way too early to scan If there is nothing more then I don't think it can be anything, I'm just dreading that it might be the start of bleeding.

Neeko · 07/06/2009 21:14

Moon That's rubbish timing but I'm sure he feels more awful for you.
The car window will be easily fixed so don't stress. I hope you are doing something tonight to try to relax you -apart from being on here!

Neeko · 07/06/2009 21:15

Curly It's so rubbish when you are just left to wait. How many tests did you take? Maybe you could do another one and compare lines or would that make you worry more?

littlebellsmum · 07/06/2009 21:19

Can't stop but just needed to answer you, Curlee. I had the smallest amount of spotting at about 5/6 weeks with DS - it was just once or twice when I wiped. Never got any more and everything was fine - I'm sure that's all it will be and everything will be fine
Sorry about your crap day, Moon - good days and bad days - tomorrow will be a good one

littlebellsmum · 07/06/2009 21:21

Sorry - Moon tomorrow can't possibly be a good day. Message to self - read back before posting!

Neeko · 07/06/2009 21:21

bakingqueen Nice to see you back. I really laughed at your oven story. That's the kind of thing that happens to me!

mermaid How's the 2ww going for you? Any symptoms yet?

gingermumi Nice to see you back and sorry AF got you. Hopefully this will be your month now.

Gracie How's your tummy? I'm sure it'll settle down soon.

Barbie have you closed your mouth yet after it fell open in shock?

Hope everyone else is ok.

bluesatinsash · 07/06/2009 21:21

curly - I had brown bleeding/discharge from week 5 to 11 EVERY DAY, please don't fear the worst. There's is actually a 'brown bleeding' thread on the pregnancy board which I dip into for reassurance x

Neeko · 07/06/2009 21:22

Hi Littlebellsmum Hope you're well. You seem so busy these days. Take care.

mermaidspurse · 07/06/2009 21:49

curly my poor lovely honey cut and paste blues message above and stick it up everywhere and repeat it like a mantra. I can't read posts these few days without my heart in my mouth - (usually its foot in mouth) - will be thinking of you heaps and heaps.xxxx

moon you have been so, so strong sweetie and tomorrow will be awful to go through. We will all be thinking of you both and a huge big birthday kiss for your ddh.x

gotta go I am being summoned!

SabsBigPants · 07/06/2009 21:54

curly i also want to add that with this pregnancy i also had brown bleeding from 5 to 7 weeks, and it absolutely terrified me. I had a scan at 7 weeks at the EPAU (self-referral) and all is ok....

Easier said than done, but try not to stress... Do you have a early scan booked?

Curlywurlee · 07/06/2009 22:16

Thanks girls, I don't know what I would do without you. Honestly, I am going to try and stay positive even though I am panicking a little. We all sadly know what can go wrong, but I'm determined to enjoy this pregnancy as I don't want to look back and think I wished the nine months away. I worried about everything last time and it didn't change the outcome

I don't have a scan booked yet. I rang the consultant last week and she's not back till Wednesday. In the meantime, I'm flying to Ireland for my exams on Tuesday so I suppose at least I will be distracted until scan time.

BlueMoon1981 · 07/06/2009 22:29

thanks to everyone for your lovely wishes. i will let you know how i get on tomorrow. don't worry if i'm not all day, last week i had to have some me time to let it all sink in. i will be on though.

curly please try and stay strong even though we all know its difficult not to worry

Curlywurlee · 07/06/2009 22:34

Moon come back when you are ready. Until you do, we'll be thinking of you and holding your hand all the while xxx

cupcakefairy · 07/06/2009 22:37

Wow another BFP!!!
Barbie! Congratulations that is sooo fab This is an amazingly lucky thread! Hope I'll be joining you soon; I'm still symptom spotting like mad... still a bit of nausea, twinges, and - the way I knew I as pregnant last time - very good sex So we'll see!

Neeko my temp always settles around 98.6-98.8 before af, it's only ever crept to 99 when I was pregnant so we'll see if that happens this month! (Mine is higher than yours cos I don't take it orally )

Kate so sorry about the flooding; so not what you needed hope you're ok.

Moon will be thinking of you and your dp tomorrow.

Curly as others have said, try to relax. Wish I could give you a big hug and hair stroke!

Evening ladies! Moon- hope tomorrow goes as painlessly for you and dh as much as possible will be thinking of you x. Curly- hope you get the reassurance you need tomorrow and your bean is nice and sticky x. My hand is there for you lovely ladies to both holdx. Hope the rest of you have had a good day today x

GracieGirl · 07/06/2009 23:00

Moon I'm thinking of you and your DP tomorrow. Maybe DP could be treated to an extra birthday next month. That's what I did with Valentines day when I had an ERPC late on 10th feb and really wasn't in the mood to do anything.

Curly maybe a call to your GP or EPAU when you get back from your exams might be an idea. You might get an early scan to reassure you that your bean is firmly stuck. When is 5 weeks for you? I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. Stay away from doing more pregnancy tests and comparing the lines - madness lies there! You never know whether your urine is as concentrated as the sample before.

Evening Neeko just got back from another walk with DH, I'm still hopefull of a good nights sleep.

Cupcake fingers crossed that your symptom spotting turns into a BFP!

GracieGirl · 07/06/2009 23:00

Evening to you too BakingQueen!

GracieGirl · 08/06/2009 02:27

abdo pain again

barbie1 · 08/06/2009 04:21

Sorry for ot posting yesterday, i just couldnt find the time....

moon today will be hard, but i hope that you get through it ok. Take your time in deciding and dont let anyone rush you into making a decision. Wishing your dh a happy birthday....

curly Hun i right with you, i cant stop worrying, not even for one second. Im convinced something is going to go wrong I hope your exams take your mind of things if any for a short while...im here to compare and stress about everything together

grace how are you feeling? i have had abdo pain for the last few days, feels like af will show any minute and tummy is really bloated.

The only positive sign that something is happening is the fact that im sooooo tired. Scared myself stupid yesterday but doig yet another test using a different brand and you could hardly see the line....5 hours of pnic in work until i raced home to get one of the other test and it was a mor defined line.....i cant keep doing this to myself.

sabs enjoy the last weekend away that you and hubby will have for a while i wold love to go to rome even more so after watching angels and demons, its looks so pretty

kate im so sorry that i missed your news about the flood, i tihnk i was still in shock at the time! I hope it gets sorted out, i think the first 6 months after getting married were the worse for me too...i also joke that it was the bestest worse year that i ever had! the best was getting married and the worse due to mc, dad being rushed to hospital, sister getting married and spliting up within 2 weeks realising that we had lost over 75k on our house putting us into debt due to the bloody credit crunch...all in 6 months. It does get better...look at me now i live in a dessert!

Hi to everyone else, im have to rush to work now, really tempted to tell my boss but i shall wait at least for a few more weeks unless i get caught sleeping on the job and fired before then

GracieGirl · 08/06/2009 09:03

Its ok Barbie we'll let you have at least one day being that speechless that you can't post! Barbie if you're going to compare lines, stick to the same brand else you'll drive yourself mad. Some brands are that insensitive they don't show positive until your period is a week late and even with the same brand it only works if your urine sample is exactly the same strength.
Its madness isn't it! Pregnancy should be a happy time, not with so much worry you can't think.

Curly how are you feeling today?

Moon My thoughts are with you today, I wish I could help take your pain and sadness away.

4everhopeful · 08/06/2009 09:30

Firstly - OMG OMG OMG congratulations Barbie!!!!! See - just when you stopped thinking about it, it happened! So glad for you and DH hon - know its been a long road getting there, I have a good sticky feeling for you! Roll on maternity leave for you then! Massive hug & kiss for you, I really am so pleased & also saying a little sticky prayer xxx

Mermaid you next then lovely lady! When is AF due - when you gonna test? I really pray you get your sticky BFP too! Please let this be our month?!? Love the idea of clotted cream & merangue feast at 2am, def a symptom if ever I saw one! xx

Bluemoon will be thinking of you at 11.30 today hon, sorry it is DP birthday, we found out we lost no2 at scan on DH 30th birthday. The way life pans out is just horrible sometimes. We also had to decide if we'd wait for natural mc, but waited a few days & had erpc, which was over quickly & gave closure to the physical side, so could deal with the mental side.. 1st mc was natural & ended up rushed to hospital & put on morphine as was trapped in cervix. The erpc in comparison was so much better. Had erpc for 3 & 4 too. Just my input, see what they suggest & go with your instincts, one step at a time. I'll be thinking of you and holding your hand, you've been very strong & brave. You're doing all those '1st steps to normal'. Your poem made me cry so much & I copied it so I can read when I need too. You touched a chord with all of us, thank you so much for sharing it. Sending you love & strength today xxxxxxxxx

Mrskate devestating to hear about your flood - thats a complete nightmare, your DH DVDs, but worse - your wedding pics! Hopefully there must be back up copies? Hopefully some calm is restored between you & dh now... When it rains it pours, pardon the pun! Its just makes your love stronger!! x You will look back on this when lo is in your arms and smile!

Nice to see Lionstar and MM lurking with their growing bumps & worldy wisdom! Sorry you been so poorly with it MM but all good signs to be so sick!

Bluesatin sure you will be having a great xmas this year sweetie! Bless your DH & in laws getting emotional for you, glad you have the support you need. Happy belated birthday to your ds! Party sounds fab!

Cupcake we heard the amazing thunderstorm on sun morn & got up at 6am to watch it! Sounded like bombs going off!

Bakingqueen glad you are settled in your new home, sounds lovely to have a village to stroll round! Cant believe your fire! Get those fire alarms up pronto! Hope you enjoy the 'christening' session!!!

MLS sounds like you had a crappy time lately hon, just focus on your growing bean & DD.. Men can be funny creatures, im sure when you have a big bump he can see he will be more into it all, from what you said he dotes on your dd so give it time perhaps.. We are all here to be excited with you! Hope you feel better from your cold..

Curly Im really praying all is well, echo whats already been said that spotting can be quite normal, you dont need it tho do ya hon? Its very not fair that you are having this worry when you deserve a happy relaxed text book PG after all you been through already. Sticky thought and baby dust coming at ya! xxxxx BTW good luck with exams, proper distraction eh!

Have you been to Rome yet Sabs? Its very hard catching up properly after being away all weekend, I may have missed things!

Vjay I wasnt about, but sending you a hug and bellyrub in memory of edd no 2, hope you got through it honey.. xx

Gracie can really relate to the bad bowels & insomnia, had that each time.. At wk5 my belly would bloat up massively and my normal clockwork routine goes out the window (not literally UGH!).. The twinges and cramps would worry me but ease by wk7, fraid I never really found a remedy tho! Hope yours work for you! Your sleep routine sounds like mine on an average night, im a very light sleeper and never sleep all the way through... Hope your doing ok tho?!

Neeko your cycle has really confused me! I thought we were similar cycle wise? Im on day 11 now I think. So are you on 2ww? I wanna join you! I know Im on same day as cupoftea! LBM very crap about the job.. Works like a bit of stability and 'normal' when we are going through this crap rollercoaster of mc isnt it? I've been in limbo for 2yrs with redundancy hanging over us, think my job maybe safe but may have to relocate . Need PG so I can stay where I am! Its horrible having it all out of my own control. Lifes been strange for last 2yrs I tell ya!

Ginger glad AF came for you, hope your cycles sorted now? Dont worry hon, there is always next month and look how lucky this threads been so far!

Phew - mammoth post! Read through the w-ends happenings and had to write notes to myself to catch up with you all! Still bound to have missed someone or something so apologies! Still reeling over Barbies news! V pleased sweetie! I am very badly wanting to join her and all you fresh BFPs! Its that desperate desire like straight after mc, when you 'need' to be PG again. Keep thinking this time last year was pg with no 3 which was longest most 'real' one as got to 13w and had weekly scans watching it grow and got loads of pics of it. Anyway, duly started the OPKs on sat but only v faint line so far. Also got brazil nuts & grapefruit juice (really yummy I thought!!). Got v worried on fri as read that you shouldnt gloss paint when PG so I finished off the downstairs hall on sat while DH rested his hand! Been dying to do front room but waiting on windows being replaced which has taken near 6 months (a whole saga in itself) & now they are finally coming on 'test' week - huff. They have no idea of how much their delay has affected things cos if (please please god) I do get BFP, its all going on hold while I wrap up in cotton wool..

Anyway - will prob need a new thread after this post! Got in work at 7.15am & spent 25mins catching up, then draft this in mail before I post! Naughty naughty me!

Once again, holding your hand today moon xxx

Curlywurlee · 08/06/2009 09:59

Moon just wanted to say I'm holding your hand and thinking of you today. I know this is an awful day and I wish you didn't have to go through it but it will get easier from here. Lots of love to you and dp xxx

gracie barbie and myself are just one day behind you - five weeks tomorrow . Today things are looking much better, no sign of spotting, strong line on the pregnancy test and 4evers lovely brave post made me tearful (though I think it would have even if I wasn't pregnant) so these are all good signs

cupcake thanks for the hairstroking, you are lovely, that always makes me feel better

Naughty 4ever step away from the DIY - it's a good excuse to take it easy. I'm hoping and praying for a BFP for you and mermaid this month. God knows you two have been through enough. I really have a very good feeling that this month could be the one

thanks for the reassurance LBM Neeko blue mermaid sabs and bakingqueen it really helps to have someone to worry with. I'm going to call the consultant in a couple of days when she is back and set up a scan for the week I get back. Hopefully at seven weeks, they should be able to see a heartbeat.

Hope all of you lovely ladies have a good monday. I'll lurk in case Moon wants to talk later, but I'm going to try and be good and get some more study done

iggypiggy · 08/06/2009 10:01

Morning all! Sorry haven't posted over weekend - was away and now there are pages to catch up on - which I will try to do later

Barbie Yay!!!! congratulations! That is fab news - so pleased for you

moon so pleased you posting. That poem is lovely. Will be thinking of you today. x

quick update from me... am driving myself a little nuts - am symptom spotting in a way I never have before.. I guess as is first month ttc after the MC? Am thinking that the disappointment might be huge this mont hin particular.. Especially as chance seems low Am noticing all sorts of possible 'signs' and then I can't remember if I normally get them or if am imagining them etc etc.. Think I mgiht be a bit of a misery when AF arrives...

waves to all - catch up properly later xx

4everhopeful · 08/06/2009 12:10

Thanks Curly sweetie.. So glad no more sign of spotting for you, hopefully just a teeny implantation bleed, everythings crossed still, and really glad you are feeling better today and getting a scan soon!

Iggy sorry I missed you on mammoth post honey, you are bound to feel like that, as I said I feel that desperate 'need' to be PG again ASAP, which usually goes in hand with 1st ttc after mc (except its now 4/5 months for me!). Dont mean to feed your obsession but my SIL got PG straight after mc with no af so you never know!! Even if you dont the first af after mc is quite a relief cos you know you're back on track with your cycle and can start planning again... We'll be here for you to vent/rant/stomp or whatever you need!

I am holding my wee ready for OPK, am doing it about 1.30pm ish? Is this OK white coated ladies?

4everhopeful · 08/06/2009 12:26

BTW - thinking of you Moon xxx
