Hi girls, I'm here and all is ok. Measuring 11+1, apparently it was jumping about but I didn't want to see. I caused a hoo ha as I haven't booked in with the midwife yet and am away on holiday for a week from Monday do suddenly I'm right on top of my 12 week scan date. Fortunately my consultant was able to ring around and get a date for me on the 5th August and then they will organise the Harmony then if all seems ok.

I'm starting Fragmin tomorrow and they think I'll be on it got the rest of the pregnancy. Cyclogest till 16 weeks, continue with aspirin. Everyone was really kind, the sonographer who tends to always scan me gave me a big hug. I had got myself in such a state that I looked shocking apparently (that's what two hours sleep does for you) . I'm still getting all day nausea so whilst it keeps me hopeful I just feel ill most of the time.

Flen hope the brown gunk pisses off sometime soon. Barking everything crossed for your embie transfer xx. Hope those who are having the meet this weekend have a wonderful time. So sorry to see newbies here but it's a wonderful support system and hilarious into the bargain!!

Oh sebs, I'm delighted for you! ! So happy to hear that is good news. Really hope after the harmony your mind will be put at rest a bit x

Glad your scan went well sebs and great to read of the little one jumping about!

Welcome newbies

Hope the spotting buggers off soon flen x

Great scan news, Sebs

The sonographer also talked about 'her' waving her arms about. Do Sonographers generally call all foetuses girls until they know better or do you think she gave me a clue there?

Great news Sebs!!!!

They can't tell until about 14/15 weeks i don't think, so I think it was just a turn of phrase!

Sebs fantastic news on your scan!

sebs I'm really pleased for you, well done for hanging on in there.

Girlie you could've been on the tele then!! But don't think I'd go on it either!

Flen hang in there, I'm sure it'll be ok but can you get in any earlier? My friend had bleeding like that but she was ok, hope it stops soon for you.

Kazz oh really? That's annoying, you'd think they'd show abit more compassion. Think they only look at immediate family like parents and siblings.

Brummie lol I think I might be able to guess....very interesting about the convention and I would be straight there buying a ticket! Keep us informed.

Teach where's your app tues? How long has it been since MC? My af came after 2wks which surprised me as thought it would take long time.

Onestep totally totally agree with you. I also knew nothing about all this a year ago, now it's so close to my heart and I really feel that if it's so common it's profile should be raised. What did women do 20year ago before internet?? It just is unimaginable really. This thread here really has been a lifesaver.

Freckle you do make me laugh

Sebs brilliant news!! Glad all is ok with your scan.

Took DS to his group this morning, 3 pg women there all diff stages. Very hard. And going out with pg friend tonight too among others. Why is it on here it's fine we are so happy for us to be pg, but when I see others I'm just

Great news Sebs x

I think I'm starting to loose the plot. AF is due in two days and due to Ttc ban there is absolutely no chance I would get a bfp however I'm slipping back into symptom spotting!

flen I hope it all settles down for you soon. The constant worrying is just awful :(

sebs yay for another great scan!

Have a lot of you ladies held off booking in with midwife? I said to DH next time around I'm not booing in until after 12 weeks. I know its not the 'done thing' but I couldn't handle booking in and then something going wrong again.

Have booked a few short breaks away, nothing special, and spread them between now and new year. Need something to focus on and look forward to.

Still having brown spotting which is annoying me, just want my body to get back on track now. I think we wont actively ttc until all tests are back. Dreading the first AF as last time I ended up in bed for 3 days. And cried all week.

to all you lovelies.

barking sending good thoughts for the transfer.

sebs - yay! Great scan news. x

flen - hugs hun. Hope the spotting does one soon so you can relax a little.

barking - everything crossed for your little emby thawing nicely.

Hugs all - tfi the weekend! X

Great news sebs

Mrsb me too this is my first AF after my 4th MC. I have spent 2 days in on/off tears, especially when on my own. Hormones!!! They have a LOT to bloody answer for!!!!

Hello all, just need a rant. This thread has completely run away from me, you chatter boxes!

So after nine weeks (average 22 day wait my arse) I finally received a letter from the NHS inviting me to an appointment on 25th september at a fertility clinic, not a specialist RMC as I was promised.

They also included a lovely pamphlet, full of grammatical errors, pointing out that I should consider abstaining from cocaine, heroin and marijuana because they could have a negative affect on a foetus.

I know these pamphlets are designed for a wide audience but really?

It doesn't even say what I should do if I get pregnant in the meantime. I feel so let down. All the reassurances from the GP, all the promises of 'extra support', they were just saying what they had to to shut me up weren't they?

I know there are people in worse situations than mine and I am very lucky to be able to afford to see Dr S privately but I feel utterly defeated right now.

I'm so happy to see some happy scan updates! And I really hope everyone who is struggling gets a break soon. Keep strong! Right, I'm off to find a wall to punch

Onestep I was absolutely horrid on the first AF after the last mc (although at the time I swore blind it wasn't be but everyone else!) hope it's over swiftly x

Looking forward to catching up with ladies tomorrow!

Yep! Looking forward to it!!!

Yay sebs really pleased to see your update!

Me too, just drove past The Bell in Aston Clinton, dropped DH off in Tring for a curry with his mates. See you tomorrow!

Bootles I had the day 21 test back in Dec 2012 after a year of ttc and no bfp and that showed I hadn't ovulated but when I went back on day 28 I had. So that confirmed the late ovulation and short lp I'd already identified through temping and opks.

Flen I wish I could wave a wand and get rid of the spotting for you, it must be so difficult to keep the anxiety under control .

Sebs let me know how the fragmin goes, I have to start injecting that next week from transfer day! Hopefully that will make the difference for me this time...

snoopy what helpful information . Not suprised you want to hit a wall.

I've been having weird dizzy spells all week. Room spinning kind of thing. Never had it before apart from a couple of decades ago after one too many. Think it's probably best I stay in bed tomorrow morning instead of going swimming first thing....

Great news seb. You are so close to the 12 weeks scan with a bit of luck you might be more relaxed for that and maybe even enjoy it a bit? ( I know easier said than done).
flen hang in there. Looks like this little one is determined to put you through the ringer. But today you are pregnant.

seb lovely news! Hope all is plain sailing from now on.

Flen hope spotting has settled down again. I had a bit more yesterday so feeling the fear a little too. Fingers firmly crossed for you.

barking wishing you lots of luck

Looking forward to lunch tomorrow and putting faces to the voices I've given you all in my head!

thorn oh god I hope yours settles too. It's just so stressful isn't it?

barking rest sounds like a good plan. Could the dizzies be stress? Sometimes I think it can happen if you are getting a cold or something too.

Can I get the advice of you guys on heparin? I've emailed Prof B, but no response yet. Wondering whether to continue taking it for now while I am spotting/bleeding like this every day.
