Will do a catch up post now...

OMG mummy A line is a line! Let's see if you beat my 17 tests!

Yes still taking my cyclizine. I tried a day without them yesterday and it was awful so definitely staying on them. Just trying to stay positive, these strong symptoms are reassuring. I am 8 weeks today :)

Waves to claire and iggi xx

Congratulations MummyA!! Just like you were hoping :o

Sorry haven't got time for proper catch up, was just quickly reading through to see what I'd missed and noticed Mummys fab news. Congratulations!

Will catch up properly soon. waves to everyone

Wow MummyAbroad - That's great news. Congralulations. Did you say you were 11 dpo? Fingers tightly crossed this is a keeper for you.

Lovelybunchofcoconuts - Sorry you're feeling so rough still. It must be awful for you.

Milkyway - for a good appointment (I had to look up what a phlebotomist was )

Thanks everyone. I am 12DPO and the line is a real squinty hold-it-up-to-the-light-job.

Coconuts I think that the blood test that I have just been and done might trump your 17 tests It only costs £15 for quantative HCG test out here, so I figured I would just go for that rather than stressing about the is it or isnt it thing. I go back for the results in about 5 hours

xxxxxxxxx

I had to look up phlebotomist too!

HCG test sounds like a v.good idea. My fingers are crossed x

Congratulations mummmya Great news! xx

Oh lady I'm so so sorry. Big hugs to you xxx Take time for yourself :(

mummy oh that's a good idea hope the result is positive :) £15 is very cheap. Wish I knew if mine was increasing as it should be. It was 61000+ when I had it tested in hospital but haven't been tested since to compare. I will be in bed when you get the results but will check back first thing :)

justmee Try and rest yourself, like I said to you, brown blood is old blood. You have seen your baby alive and kicking, literally :)

LadyB Oh no!!! I'm so sorry. What a horrible horrible thing to happen.

Not even the remotest chance that I can catch up with everyone. Really sorry for being absent for so long. I seem to have contracted the most hideous virus. Can't keep any food or fluids down. Drinking vast quantities and praying some of it is staying down in between all the puking. I get very stressed when ill at the best of times, but there's nothing like raising the old anxiety levels when you're pregnant.
So, quick post before I head back to bed.

Lady I'm so very, very sorry. Horrifically unfair. I wish I could say something helpful, but I know that that thing doesn't exist. I am sending a very big hug to you at this hideous time. I hope you are being looked after. xxxx

Lunatic Your happiness is shining through. Try and focus on you for a bit though, eh?

Mummy I'm so very glad I logged on when I did. Absolutely ecstatic for you!!!! Not before time either. Congratulations!!!!! That is such wonderful news.

justmee I spotted on/ off throughout the first trimester, as many women on this thread have. Sometimes, I felt it was rather more significant than spotting too. For several weeks, I was scared stiff of going to the loo in case i bled and got horribly bunged up as a result. It all stopped between 12-13 weeks and, thankfully, there hasn't been any more. I know that's no reassurance when it's you though. Hugs.

frazzled The joy of colief! My lovely GP prescribed that for me when I began to think that infacol was about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. Hope you're all doing okay.

Getting dizzy again now, so sending some frantic waves to everyone else and promise to try harder from now on. You lot can really talk!

Ladybee - So sorry to hear your news. Its crushing to have to go through it repeatedly isn't it.

LadyB I'm so very sorry :(

lady I am heartbroken for you. I am so sorry to hear your news.

I am so sorry for your loss Ladybee.

thanks all, after the initial shock and big howl, I'm starting to feel a bit more just resigned and depressed. Feel stupid that I protested twice daily clexane and followed gynae's advice to go to 1 daily rather than haematologist's prescription of 2x. But apart from that, I know that we had a good shot and the risk was always there that it wouldn't work.
I just wish that my body had given me a clue, so I could at least have prepared DH for the disappointment. It was really a big shock for him.

Next time, if we're lucky again, I'll try for progesterone as well. But for now I just have to decide what to do about this one, and find out what to do about the clexane injections if I have an ERPC.

Lunatic, yup, that's what I said too

LAF77 Thank you, I hope it hasn't stirred up too many horrible memories for you. I haven't kept up to date, did you get a referral for testing? I really hope so.

MummyA a soggy hug from me, it's a wonderful news.

:( So so sorry ladybee xx

Hugs Ladybee. I am so sorry :(

Congratulations MummyA!!!

So sorry Ladybee it's just so unfair.

very sorry to hear your sad news lady

big congrats to you mummyA

Sorry to hear your news Ladybee, very unfair. Look after yourself.
