Emmsy's onwards and upwards part six - sticky icky babydust BFP central!!!

[Curlywurlee]

Here's a shiny new thread named especially for 4ever, let this be the one where we get lots and lots of new BFPs and everyone's pants get bigger

Ever onwards and upwards for all of you lovely ladies

hello curly how are you today?

neeko so far it is only very light and brown like the first few hours of an af. i'm a bit but will see what happens over the weekend and call gp on monday if i need to. feels like everything is ok, i'm more annoyed than anything else.

mls i completely understand where you are coming from. sometimes this is the best and worst place to be at the same time, lovely for all the support you get, but sad because we are not medium or big pants, and i think it can be a bit overwhelming at times. don't stay away for too long, look after yourself x

i had to do some work with the most pg lady in the office today usually we don't have too much to do with each other, but she is lovely and we chat sometimes. but today i just sat looking at her big bump trying not to stare and trying to look as if i was helping her out with her questions

Still not in bed moon denzel washington is on Jonathan Ross and I couldn't leave. I'm such a big fan. Oh my god now Aha are on. Morten used to be my greatest love when I was 12 (well except for mcgyver )

well done for getting through today moon. It will be you with the bump some day soon, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. Hey big hugs honey, look after yourself this weekend xxx

Just off to bed. MLS thinking of you whilst you have your break from mumsnet.

Barbie I've had lots of episodes of brown discharge since that bleed at 9 weeks and just decided to ignore them as I'd already had a scan at 9 weeks for the bleeding and I doubted I'd get another before todays scan. Try not to worry and speak to your doctor in the morning about a scan. Big hug xx

Moon a big hug for you too.

Neeko Yes I'll have a computer but Mumsnet is barred across the whole hospital so still can only mumsnet at home.

Really tired, will post more in the morning.

Morning,
annie so pleased your scan went well, and another boy too, fab

sabs hope you're feeling better today, and don't feel bad for resting, you should be putting your feet up at every oportunity, I do

barbie I've had coloured discharge now and then throughout this pregnancy, the mw's seem to think it's normal, try not to worry

mrskate I bet you're going to do a test this morning I would!

curly I hope vm is pregnant too, and someday we'll 'meet' again

neeko blue was interviewed by the news programme in her home town, and her ds made his tv debut too, it was really cute. It was in the winter sometime cos I remember she was wearing a wooly hat! I'm sure she'll be along to correct me

What's everyone up to today? I feel in a limbo, there's too much to do so I feel like not doing any of it

Morning Vjay. I vote the best plan is for you to put your feet up and do none of that useful stuff you're supposed to be doing! Though perhaps add a few extra items to that hospital bag!

Does anyone mind if I stay in the medium pants bit for a little while longer? I'm still a lot bit nervous and feel somehow that moving myself to the Big Pants zone is for once you're feeling confident its all going to happen.

Went out for dinner with DH, my parents, my brother and girlfriend and her parents last night. My parents and brother+girlfriend already knew due to the amount on hospital runs I've managed during this pregnancy and they only live about a mile away. Brother's girlfriend asked if she could tell her parents, I agreed so thats 2 more people who know, though I'd never met them before last night so maybe they don't count!! Its a bit like telling the shop assistant in Next really isn't it!

gracie I will do as you say . I did buy some extra big joggers yesterday, so will get them washed ironed and put into my hospital bag, it's getting there!
You stay put til you feel ready to join the big panters, I know how you feel, you reach the magic 12 weeks, but it still doesn't feel 100% does it. It felt a lot more real to me when my bloods came back after 16 weeks with low risk, I felt myself start to relax a little then, the next milestone was 20 weeks, half way, then 24 weeks, viable should anything happen. It seems like forever, but the, I could do with it slowing down a bit!

Vjay you are so right, it doesn't feel real at all, like it still might go wrong at any point. Maybe a couple more weeks with the medium panters and you never know I might upgrade myself.

Barbie how are you this morning?

Kate did you test?

Morning. Just checking in to see how Barbie is today.

Gracie stay on medium pants as long as you like. I like being in your gang.

Kate well?

Vjay just relax and put your feet up today.

Have a great day today everyone. We're off to my brother's birthday BBQ so I'll probably catch up with you all on Sunday.

Im here (weak smile)

In limbo...not really with it today i have googled, cried, searched mn, googled and cried some more....bloody horror-mones (my new name for hormones!)

Thankyou all for trying to reassure me, but as you all know its hard not to freak out. The earliest i can get a scan is on monday, so ill hang in there until then and will try not to let it get the better of me. I think i was more concerned with the lack of symptoms, along with the new back ache and then the dischage...
mrskate where are you????

Barbie have a big hug from me. Yes we all know its impossible not to worry ourselves to death. I hope the time flies by until you get a scan, though thats another thing that we all know - time slows down when we're waiting for a reassurance scan.

MrsKate is on her way round to my house with Dolly the Collie, hoping a walk might calm her nerves a bit.

are you going to walk the dog via a chemist by any chance

Maybe!

barbie make sure you rest up hun

gracie have a nice walk and make sure you do visit the chemist

Morning (just)

barbie - please try and not fret too much, as Gracie says discharge comes in all shades. Remember it was only three days ago when you had to sniff your hair to stop yourself from throwing up! Your boobs might also just be adjusting to the new hormones... Really hope the next two days go quickly x

Gracie - so know how you feel about joining 'big panters' - echo Vjay's words about mini milestones. I'm counting days 'til 20-week scan (10!). Some days I'm positive and look at bump and think 'we're OK' then I chastise myself for being so optimistic and remind myself it can still all go wrong. Its such a bloody rollercoaster but that's life post-mc. I have a Mamas and Papas pram - the Ultimo and will be using it again although going to treat myself to new wheels.

MLS - totally understand where you're at my lovely. Don't stay away too long and I'll be stalking checking up on you on FB.

Neeko - at going out for dinner last night! Yes I was on 'Reporting Scotland' when they came to Falkirk last November doing a vox pox on the financial crisis. I did tape it but deleted it as was pg with 2nd lost angel and don't like to be reminded of that time. Fame and glory did not come a-knocking!

curly - I always have s secret stash of food on me at all times. I remember being on an atendance management training course and getting stared as I brought out roll after roll it was either that or me throwing up/sliding under desk with hunger .

Moon - hope you're bleeding has subsided. I have read that natural and medical management of mc can result in an irratic cycle for a wee while, really hope yours settles soon. Are you doing OPKs this month?

to everyone else, off to Kirkcaldy today for 1st b'day party then staying at in-laws tonight as DH is away on stag do and I get a lie in tomorrow if I stay there [cunning fox emotion].

p.s. - fingers crossed MrsKate

Hi girls just a quick catchup as dh and I are off to town to see The Proposal

barbie sorry you've been fretting hope the time flies by til Monday

MLS we'll miss you but as others have said - we totally get where you're coming from. Take care ok xxx

Gracie that's great they have put you a bit further on than your dates baby must be growing really healthily (is that a word ) and why on earth would anyone mind you staying in your medium pants for a bit.. it's whatever you're comfortable with

Kate super excited for you!! Please get on here and tell us the result v soon!

Have lovely weekends everyone who's going to parties and bbqs and spas! It's my dh's birthday tomorrow so we're going for a curry then, and probably some birthday bd after that

Time for a list update I think...hmm, hoping day 20 is quite early for spotting, what is your usual cycle length?

hi girls im here .

been out for dolly walk and all i talked about was my bloody levels to gracie i bet she is sick of hearing about it lol

i did a test this am it was bfn but il test in morning as levels hopefully have doubled enogh to read on the test i have brought they read 10 mil/mg

kate it can take up to 72 hours to double in the first few weeks...thats why it took days for me to get my bfp!

i dont know what to think im trying not to get so excited buy cant hlep it . hope it doubles for monday

Eep Kate will be back on tomorrow to see the result, sounds exciting but remember, if it's BFN it's still early days for you and might take longer to get the BFP as Barbie says

Enjoy the film Barbie it's great, and Ryan Reynolds is fiiiit

thank cupcake i am so stressed and i really dont want to be i wish i knew if i was or wasnt !!!!

I know, as we've all agreed the waiting is just the worst part of all this...it just goes on and on! Hang in there What are you up to tonight? Watch a movie or something to take your mind off it.
I am only just about to start the 2ww and I can already feel myself going crazy!

curly i watched denzel on jonathan ross too, i've always liked his films and he was lovely being interviewed wasn't he?!

good news, i am no longer bleeding, just one random day of brown blood and more good news, dp and i have agredd to ttc again after my next af its been an emotional afternoon and dp and i had a good chat after some almost bd-ing in the shower and i got upset when he said we couldn't try yet after me trying to persuade him. feel loads better now i have something to aim for.

how is everyone? i have been cutting the grass and walking the dogs this afternoon, and chose some new glasses this morning, decided to treat myself. usually wear contact lenses but hardly ever my glasses cuz i don't like them very much, so now i might enjoy wearing my new ones!

kate keeping everything crossed

agreed even
