Oh, and Brummie** wishing you all the luck in the world today babe!!!

Just one question (then i promise to fuck off) anyone ever had a bit of bleading day of or just after ov? Is this normal or agnus castus still in my system a week later?

Funny you should say that freckle, as i have a little bit of spotting this morning. V odd for me. Too early to be implantation so not sure what's going on. Fingers crossed it's a good sign

Hi all,
Will catch up later and post properly but just wanted to pop in to say brummie good luck, thinking of you.

March, Oh I see - Prof B is suggesting that the contraceptive effect of progesterone could stop eggs implanting once you get BFP rather than never getting one at all? Trying to get my head around that because I didn't think any other form of contraception let BFPs through first? But admittedly not something I know a lot about.

I'm not really sure biscuits!
The things he said were that a lot of people with no issues would also have a positive test before then getting their period if they tested early. I'm not entirely convinced by this one, you don't hear that many people on the ttc boards (who often test 'too early') saying they got a bfp then later got their period and just thought 'oh well, can't have been a pregnancy then'.

Also he said that in most cases when you get a bfn, its not necessarily that the egg isn't fertilised and doesn't implant. It implants briefly and then is rejected if it's bad.

My understanding previously was that the prog helped with that selection process in people who were hyperfertile, but perhaps the effect wasn't quick enough to avoid the bfp before it was (correctly) rejected.

His statement that it acted as contraceptive for some people if taken in high doses suggests it was over zealous in its selection process and was rejecting good eggs too. I should be clear in saying that this is not what he thinks is happening with me, he thinks they were bad eggs. But obv i can't help but wonder. I don't want to put anyone off taking it, as i think for some people it will do the right thing. But it does seem a bit hit and miss on who it works correctly for and who it doesn't. More research needed!

Agree about hit and miss! But I also wonder why they change protocol after three months, because if they're thinking that bad eggs are being rejected during that time, wouldn't you give it six months or more before assuming it was not working rather than working?

All very complicated.

And yes, normal contraception (the pill) stops ovulation, but as we've already ov before starting prog it must be a different contraceptive effect he's taking about

Brummie, I will be madly pressing refresh. So many of us are crowding in that scanning room today!

Just realised it's Brummie's appointment time... Sending positive vibes to the Midlands.

Marking my place.

Hope the scan is a good one, Brummie.

Dh has gone away on a stag weekend and ... i feel ovulation coming along. What a shame I don't have a swimmer stockpile in the freezer. i can't bear wasting eggs ...

Oh Spartacus, how very frustrating. I recall in a similar situation I once googled 'can you home freeze sperm'. Annoyingly you can't. Grrrr. Hopefully your ovary will hold on to the egg until he's back.

Another wave of good vibes to Brummie.

Refreshing looking for brummie

Hello all

Baby Brummie is very busy doing headstands and waving it's legs in the air.

9 +2 so bang on 3 weeks after previous scan. Heart beating away.

I cried. This is officially the longest I have ever been pregnant.

Next stop 12 wk scan on 20th July

Thank you so much for all the handholding xx

Fuck me I feel giddy with relief

Congratulations Brummie so, so happy for you xxxxxxx

Oh Brummie** what a huge relief, i am soooo happy for you!!! You can at least enjoy a few hours of fear free pg enjoyment! x

Yay! What a relief. So happy for you

brummie woohoo!! Am very relieved to see all is well. I quite feel like crying for you too! Xx

brummie Yay! You're going to have a lovely, relaxed weekend now, enjoy the fab news, so happy for you!
And the 20th is less than 3 weeks away

Amazing news, Brummie! So for you. xx

Yey brummie woo hoo!! So pleased for you! xxx

Brummie, that's amazing. Shame there are no fireworks smileys at the bottom.

Twilight, I googled too. And then wondered if I could maybe nip to the sperm bank (!) ... In the end I had a headache so I took ibuprofen, hoping that the side effect of that will be a delayed ov (I've heard it sometimes delays it). This stuff sends me a bit crazy.

brummie that's excellent news

Brummie Woohoooooo well done, very happy for you!!
