cloud congratulations
Hope this is the start of many fresh starts and BFPs on this thread
brummie hope you feel a bit better today.

Thanks all, ladies. I feel numb and detached at the moment...

Oh my goodness cloud, that's fantastic news!!! Sooo happy for you. Fx this is your sticky one xxx

barking, what a lovely story. Always so encouraging to meet real people who have made it through the other side. I really think you will be one of those too. It will happen x

Brilliant Sunday morning news cloud! Love that we have to get these things confirmed by dhs and dps!

I am a wreck. So stupidly paranoid that there won't be anything in my scan tomorrow. And I'll be wasting dhs time and prof b's for that. Oh and just started worrying that the hospital pharmacy will be closed by the time I might need it which my sensible self is saying shut up to and ... Well everything that could go wrong does... Someone please put me out of my misery.

Thankfully busy day today. Once it gets going.

Congrats Cloud! Hoping to join the wave soon! Positive thoughts being sent your way.

Tanny meeting up would be cool. I'm out that way often (family in Midsomer Norton) anyway.

Oh my bloody god! Cloud, I know you'll be scared shitless, but I agree with baking, this is big news! Congratulations lovely xxx

MrsD, totally understandable! I went back to Coventry for my first few scans (not many people have Prof B for a sonographer!) and every time I was petrified there'd be nothing there. We are conditioned to expect disappointment and it's going to be hard to convince you otherwise. Don't worry about wasting their time though, this is what they're there to do. And the pharmacy will have its opening times on the website so you can check there. Good luck!

Jady that would be proper lush! x

cloud that's amazing!! That post brought tears to my eyes and a big smile! Numb and detached is actually quite useful right now I would say. How did you resist testing before cd 12 !?

Woohoo Cloud! I'm doing a massive whoop for you- blooming brilliant news!

brummie hope you feel better asap

mrsd I wish I had words to make the worry go away. Tanny is right - its so inevitable that you will feel like this. Deep breaths and keep posting your thoughts, we are here to listen.

barking lovely story. What were the injections ?? Happy to hear you are cycling, and hope it helps your head a little.

And barking I live those wonderful RL stories. Gives me faith. And hope. Thank you for sharing it. And hope you enjoyed the cycling. Great weather for it round our parts anyway at the moment

Thanks Tanny and bootles

Completely understandable Diddly, will be hand holding tomorrow. I have everything crossed for you. Tanny can I ask why you went to Coventry for the scans? Would they not do them at RUH?

cloud that is fab, deep breaths...

barking a little dose of hope along with your cycling. And thank you for your supportive words.

brummie how you feeling today?

I am about to go to my favourite wild place and do a little stone cairn for my losses. It is a year today since my second miscarriage, the first with OH. I am hoping it will help. Feel oddly tearful getting ready to go, it makes me think how much I (and we) are holding day-to-day. to everyone.

Yay cloud congratulations

Hope you feel better brummie

mrsd handhold

And another one Cloud whispered congrats from me too!!!

Tanny is right this could be a wave!!!

Flen big hugs - my first mc anniversary is May 23 so I feel your pain xx

As for me, still feel shockingly horrendous and am in bed. Cough, sore throat, achy and very snotty.

I'm nil by mouth from 2am so clearly going to have to set alarm so I can take some cold stuff during night if still bad. I can drink water until 6 am so again will set alarm so I can have big drink

BIL is an anaesthetist ( docs marrying docs and all that) so I could ask him for advice but am worried he'll say "no chance!"

I cannot have this op cancelled!!!!!!

Good luck cloud. Fingers crossed.

And good luck to everyone with scans and stuff next week

Totally understandable diddly it's like we're all programmed to hear bad news but this is a new round and all will be well. Hand holding for tomorrow.

flen hugs for today and I hope you feel a little peace from it.

It's my edd for mc2 tomorrow and I'm in a terrible mood with everyone at the moment. Hoping going back to work tomorrow will take my mind off it.

I'm trying to remember the sequence of events! I had my BFP very early, around 3+4 I think, because if my early ov, and it was my first cycle post Coventry. I hadn't had my uNK results back so I called to chase them. I was extra anxious because my MCs were all so early and waiting for the results before getting a location scan and starting treatment felt like another MC waiting to happen. After talking to Prof B, Kerri offered an early scan and hoped the results would be back by then.

Basically, they offered them because I was hormonal and completely batty and desperate not to lose another (my last attempt), and I took them because it meant not having to go through all the rigmarole of trying to explain everything to RUH, and worry that I wouldn't get to see Mr Walker.

In the end I saw them until I was 8 weeks, and they prescribed all my meds. My GP refused to carry on the prescription at the end, and it all got a bit messy. The RUH EPAC and Mr Walker were great when I finally got them involved.

I was a complete mess in those early weeks, which lots of people here can confirm, and utterly convinced at every scan that there'd be nothing there.

But there was, and is, which is why I stay hopeful for everyone here...

Sorry, very long winded!

Just spoken to parents - they think I sound so bad there is no way tomorrow will happen. DP has just guiltily admitted the same.

FFS - the only way this op doesn't happen is when they throw me out of Kidderminster hospital

YAY Cloud** !!!!!!!! I am so excited about these bfp's happening!!!! Baby's on the thread yippee!
Brum** it does sound bad, but if it were me i'd just take the chance and show up, see whst they say and uf you know they might tell you to jog on you've prepared yourself. I'd be a chancer... X

Sorry for the typos, i follow the thread on my phone it's harder not to make mistakes... X

I'm a chancer alright. The family medics have been on the phone.

Apparently it's all down to the anaesthetist on the day. If my chest sounds ok and there's no sign of a chest infection then they may say it's ok.

But it really depends on the anaesthetist

I need to carry on what I'm doing and keep everything crossed

brummie have you tried olbass oil/vickes in hot water and inhaling the steam? That's meant to be really good for clearing sinuses. I'd also lather the vickes on tonight. Will have my fingers crossed for you.

flen for today. And also to those with difficult dates coming up.

diddly hope your scan goes ok tomorrow, remember we'll all be there with you.

barking hope your meeting goes well tomorrow.

Oh Brummie you poor love, how fucking frustrating and I agree that you need to just get as much sleep as you can and arrive tomorrow and see what they say. You can be exhibiting nasal congestion without any chest involvement. I've had some bad old colds and my chest has never rattled or anything. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm so exhausted today. This period has been so heavy. I ended up bleeding on the sheets last night so was up at 4am trying to clean myself up, then couldn't get back to sleep and DS was in the bedroom at 6am wanting me up . Must put his stair gate bank up as every morning he appears and I'm pretty sure if he couldn't come straight out he would occupy himself in his room for a while before shouting.
