Please start with the traditional recap of your stats.

Purple, exciting... The next week will be so slow!!!

Massive handholding to Cloud, Girly, Minnie and everyone else who needs it.

Girly** arrrgh! I completely empathise, i know you must be feeling a liitle crushed, but it is far too early to give up hope!

Purple**, oh my! It just couldnt be more exciting! In heaven i shall live over and over again my first 6 weeks with ds - golden, sublime, pure unadulterated- reach-into-the-soul-and-saveyou JOY!!! Lucky lady! X

barking I used to be part of the soy iso thread where people were using it to bring OV forward successfully. Lots of those people got pregnant.

I used it myself to try and strengthen my egg and move OV back (it all depends on dosage as to whether it brings it forward or leaves it where it is). It did move my OV back, my cycle length stayed the same though so I ended up with a shorter LP which is why I only used it for two cycles.

It's definitely a very powerful supplement though do could be worth investigating if you haven't tried it before.

Thanks, Sebs, that's one of the very few things I haven't tried! Once I've got the biopsy out of the way I'll look into it. Given we can't ttc this month and an earlier ov will mean we're away over the time frame for the biopsy, I actually want a messed up cycle this time round! If it falls in the same pattern as the cycle just gone, we'll be back off holiday and be able to have the biopsy the next day... Any earlier and we'll have to wait until June though .

Freckle that sounds beautiful. All i dream about is getting my baby home and one of those beds that link to your bed so you can just reach over and look or pull to you for a feed and cuddle. Really exciting Purple

Will be handholding in scan room with you tomorrow Diddly

Only a week to go purple so excited for you!!! X

Made it back from camping in one piece... Not sure i'll ever go again ..
Trying to catch up with so much...

Girlie hope you're ok, sorry the early scan wasn't as reassuring as you'd hoped, fingers crossed for 8 wks. Am hanging in there with another 3 wks to go until 8wk scan, it's on my mind everyday, as are the preg symptoms that keep coming and going... Such a mind f**k...

diddly good luck tomorrow I will be thinking of you...

purple that's so unbelievably exciting!

Hope everyone's ok x

MrsD lots of hugs and handholding for tomorrow. I'll be there in spirit (along with lots of girls from this thread) with fingers, toes and everything crossed.
Girlie just get through each day, hour to next one and don't presume it's over, it's so early yet to see much.
Cloud habd holding too, keep that super head in the sand and let time pass.

Waves to everyone else, interesting about cycle length sebs and barking, this cycle was 24 days and I think I ov'd as soon as AF stopped - is that possible? Seems like it wouldn't give time for lining to grow?

My lovely osteopath/acupuncturist/life coach has emailed to say she's leaving her clinic at the start of June. She plans to practice again from home but isn't sure when. Argh!! It's totally totally selfish but this feels like yet another person I had come to rely on letting me down when I need all the help I can get to keep it together. God that's selfish. mc has turned me into a different me. Not sure I like this version.

purple hurray, you meet you little one so soon! Lovely to know there's hope.

Sorry I'm embarrassed at how trivial and selfish that is compared to all the worries, troubles and amazing courage you ladies snow everyday. I will kick myself back into shape and get positive! Sorry

Gosh... I'm not sure we'll all fit in the room tomorrow but I'm feeling the positive scan love. Thank you.

And June hey stranger!! Hope you're keeping lovely xxx

Good luck for today Mrsd

Good luck today, Mrsdiddlydoo.
Exciting times, Purple.
MiniJust and I are notching up the scans; one yesterday and 3 more booked. We are now seeing the consultant, not just her team, and they think I might have placenta accretia (attached too deeply). So natural birth, but plan to be ready to surgically remove placenta afterwards. I don't know if this is down to all the years of surgery; maybe, but my sister had the same kind of problem and had never had surgery, so maybe its a family quirk. Been ordered to take it easy, and encouraged to start mat leave sooner rather than later. School is only 5 mins up the road, though, and I only have y10 and 13 left to teach now, so its not actually as tough as it seems to get to half term. I can't face 7-8 weeks on the sofa....! MiniJust is on the large side, but doing fine.

MrsC I have a 24 day cycle and none of my consultants seem bothered. My LP is still. 14 days as I ovulate on day 10 and that's the main thing.

Good luck today MrsD

Glad to hear you're being looked after Just and mini just continues to be just fine. Hope the plain works to get to half term but don't be stubborn if time comes and you do have to finish earlier than you want. By all accounts you've done well to get this far x

Good luck mrsd

On the home straight purple v exciting!

just listen to the doctors and take it easy. The school will not fall down if you are not there. Chill, potter about and get some zzzz in the sleep bank before the fun starts.

girlie I'm sorry your scan wasn't more reassuring. God knows, we've all been left in limbo often enough and it sucks. Everything crossed for a good outcome.

I'm going to see if I can do shortened days, only going in for lessons. To be honest, I don't feel too tired, but I am in pain as it seems that my ribs are separating from my chest muscles. That really is quite painful... I'll stop work on the 15th if it gets too much as that coincides with 13s going on study leave. Obviously, if I do feel ill, too tired, or any other problems, I'll be straight off.

Spoke too soon, bleeding again. Off to hospital I go...

Oh no Just. Hope it's nothing to worry about.

Oh just I'm sorry it's happening again. I hope you are seen soon and you and miniJust are fine. Maybe it would be best to think about starting leave now and getting lots of rest in...once baby is here all you'll want to do is rest and catch up on sleep for the first few weeks.

Good luck again diddly, glad you're feeling positive.

Oh Just famous last words. MiniJust is certainly making sure we don't forget about him/her.

Maybe Cheesy is right, is it time to start thinking about finishing?

Hope it's nothing too serious though. Thinking of you xx

Just, hope you will be OK... Mini just does like to be contrary

Seems like minijust wants to to put your feet up and slow down. Sounds sensible to me!

I was having short cycles, 24-26 days, and had a 12-14 day lp. Acupuncture and quack medicines seemed to lengthen these a bit, but not massively...

Thanks. I think my decision has been made. I was told last time that they'd sign me off if this happened again, so I think my mat leave has just started. Sorry for hogging the thread... I know lots of you are in darker places.
