A place to carry on chatting after a BFP and support each other through the stressful bits. I hope to see many new graduates appearing....

squiz im so sorry, hope you are being looked after x

Jbrd the egg advice annoys me as salmonella has not been in our (lion stamped) eggs for ages, yet still were told not to have runny eggs when PG...I follow the advice (what if etc) but it is so outdated and I love runny eggs and cake batter Angry

Great your passed the milestone pink do you have anymore or is it 'just' get thru the scan/12 week scan etc?

IBelieveInPink · 08/04/2013 18:32

Nope shell, just the scan on Friday now, and if that goes well, 12 week etc etc. my goodness today dragged. Still, I have my booking in appointment Thursday afternoon, so that will make that day go quicker. Not much longer to wait, in the grand scheme of things.

squiz so sorry. Hope you are getting lots of TLC and get the most painless out come in the situation xxxx

GardenWorm · 08/04/2013 18:52

Squiz really sorry to hear your news X

MissLolita · 08/04/2013 18:55

Squiz I'm so sorry for you xxx sending you huge hugs xxxx

BumpKitty what time is your scan tomorrow? Mine is 2.40 and the dread has properly set in. I don't have good feelings at all (no symptoms still). Hmm

I thought I posted last night but can't seem to find it so maybe I pressed cancel by mistake...

Welcome to new people. It cheers me up to hear positive news Smile

BumpKitty · 08/04/2013 19:09

squiz so sorry I hope everything is as good as it can be for you xxx

lucky sorry you are in waiting hell, I will wish the days go faster for you x

my scan was this evening, and all is fine - well absolutely amazing rather than fine Grin my nerves were at def con 10 before I went in but the lady was fantastic and told me as quickly as possible that all looked good. Dated as 8 + 6 which is back a couple of days which is perfect as ovulation was a couple of days late. I got to hear a heartbeat!!

Can't actually believe it quite yet

MissLolita · 08/04/2013 19:34

BumpKitty that is brilliant news!! I'm so pleased for you (sorry I thought it was tomorrow Grin) x

IBelieveInPink · 08/04/2013 19:51

Oh bump that us fantastic news!
Out of interest- how much can you see at 8+6? I will be 8+5 for mine and dying to know what I am expecting!

shellshock7 · 08/04/2013 19:54

Great news bump Smile

pink I think it depends, DS was just a kidney bean at 8+? weeks but this one has little buds of arms and legs at 7+6?

JanieLovesCake · 08/04/2013 20:03

oh wow bump that's fab!!! delighted for you :)

pink i'll be 8+5 at mine too..but mine isn't until next tuesday...luckily it's in the morning so i don't have to sweat it all day (just all week til then)!

i just said to dh tonight that i still don't believe that we could actually have a real baby (while stroking my cat). he said it kinda clicked with him tonight when i came home from work and my boobs looked massive...so something must be happening in there!! i just find it amazing that there's a possibility that we're growing a little person in there! it's totally baffling!

marriedinwhiteagain · 08/04/2013 20:13

I don't know if this helps or not but Mnet wasn't around when I was going through this. DS was pg 2, DD was pg 5 (after the first trimester - many more mc before that) and born after DS2 was born and died at 27 weeks. They are now almost 15 and 18. It was fucking hard but they were worth it and in the end we got there - looks at dd wrapped in a metre of hair and truly cannot imagine a life without her in spite of the despair at the time. They are especially precious and eventually made it all worth it.

My heart goes out to you all but I am so glad you have somewhere to share it all nowadays.

Good luck - with love - I'm sure all will end up well. Sad for you all - I know how much it hurts.

BumpKitty · 08/04/2013 20:34

grrr just lost a whole message... thanks all for your messages Grin

lolita no worries, i will be thinking of you tomorrow

ibip well... we could see quite a lot really considering the baby was stood on its head and my bladder was in a naff position (despite being fit to burst). We could see the heartbeat and limb buds and where the spine will be and the beginning of brain development and we could see the baby wriggling around :) the sonographer said the difference between 8 weeks and 9 weeks is a 8 its more like a kidney bean shape but by 9 its getting more baby shaped. Also the heart beat peaks at 9 weeks, ours was 179bpm which sounded really quick.

married thanks for coming on and posting your experience, sorry you had to go through it all without the support of lovely people who know exactly how you feel. Seriously love mn xx

IBelieveInPink · 08/04/2013 20:40

Oh wow bump. That's amazing. I am so scared now, getting so close to the point where I will either be on top of the world, or heartbroken. Again.
Thanks for typing all of that, twice!
Must be so incredible to see!

Married- thank you. Lovely message.

GardenWorm · 08/04/2013 20:44

Lovely to hear Bump! Great news X

Zeuxippe · 08/04/2013 21:10

Congratulations bump! Really pleased the scan went well for you.

It's lovely to see so many familiar faces on here.

Have been feeling really achey today, hoping that's normal at this early stage? The absolute maximum I cam be right now is 4 + 4..,

BumpKitty · 08/04/2013 21:32

meant to say.... hooray for zeuxippe and diy Grin lovely to have you here.

I'm particularly grateful to you zeux as you introduced me to sperm meets egg! I have shared with another friend who has been ttc so hopefully it'll work for her too :)

GardenWorm · 09/04/2013 06:29

Feeling distinctly unpositive today. Kept waking up in the night thinking mc and now don't feel preggers at all. Still haven't booked an early scan and thinking there's not much point. Hoping I'm proved wrong Sad

IBelieveInPink · 09/04/2013 07:07

Oh garden, I have that feeling pretty much every other day. Don't worry, soon a big fat symptom will pop along and remind you. Sore boobs?

Today - my WEIRD dreams have continued. Had a dream that my friend gave birth and I had to help deliver the baby as the midwife couldn't get there in time! Very odd.

Zeuxippe · 09/04/2013 07:24

Hi bump, really glad sperm meet egg helped!!

Zeuxippe · 09/04/2013 07:26

X post. Garden sorry you're feeling low Sad - and hope you feel very again later today!

Zeuxippe · 09/04/2013 07:26

That was meant to say very pg...

GardenWorm · 09/04/2013 07:26

Hmm I know ibip but I just can't shake it, not helped by fact it was around this time that I had last mc. Didn't eat like a horse yesterday so I have jelly belly rather than bloated constipated belly - that's not helping! May just feed for a day and attempt denial and distraction....Yeah right!!!

GardenWorm · 09/04/2013 07:27

Thanx Zeux x

Aoifebelle · 09/04/2013 08:57

Morning garden, this might sound odd but perhaps the way you are feeling is a symptom? I am knackered today, and brain functioning on about 10%. The world feels a bit hostile today! That's hormones for you ...

JBrd · 09/04/2013 09:18

Bump That's great news! You must feel on top of the world at the moment!

Garden Be kind to yourself today. We all know that feeling all too well, I certainly do. The lack of symptoms, as nice as it is, doesn't help. But for now, you are pregnant, keep telling yourself that. One day at a time. Agree with Aoife, hormones are not our friends right now!

I also have not booked an early scan, I can't make up my mind about it. Trying to establish if it actually would reassure me enough to make it worth it. At the moment, I lean more towards, no point, I'll just wait for the 12-week scan, as an early scan would not change anything for me, not after my last experience.
I am, however, thinking about putting the money that we'd have to spend on an early scan towards getting the Harmony test... Very tempted, as that was a big worry for me when pg with DS. At my age, all the statistics are bleak, and I've heard such good things about it. Decisions, decisions...

I feel really bleurgh today, had to get DH to take over when dressing DS, as I had to sit down with dizziness. Just had a choco milk from the vending machine here at work, which normally helps, but now I feel even worse.
