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....

I love the idea of the FR 'treat' but be careful! The morning I went for my early scan after bleeding at 7.5 weeks I did an FRER and it was much fainter. Scan an hour later showed twins!!

IBelieveInPink · 22/03/2013 14:48

Jbrd- I am having an early scan. Booked for the 12 April. I can't not, I am driving myself crazy worrying.

IBelieveInPink · 22/03/2013 15:46

Nope, can't do it. Panicking now. Keep getting crampy pains. All down one side. Normal? Not normal? Argh!

andadietcoke · 22/03/2013 16:00

Crampy pains normal. And most people's uterus is tilted one way or the other so pains on one side are normal. Mine are all on my left at the moment.

You will worry about not having crampy pains when they're gone. Promise.

IBelieveInPink · 22/03/2013 16:13

Yes. I know this. Why am I panicking, I know this!!! I think it has been a long week and I have too many hormones and much tiredness. Thanks dietcoke. What would I do without you girls!

andadietcoke · 22/03/2013 17:48

It doesn't matter if you know it or not! Although saying that, expecting the worse all the time has definitely been a good coping strategy this pregnancy - I get to the end of every day pleasantly surprised that nothing has gone wrong (yet )

GardenWorm · 22/03/2013 17:55

Hola! Symptoms flippin symptoms! Firstly I had none with DC so that to me is normal. With MC's and this time I've had some. Boobs have been tingling now for a week or so, thing is when it stops I get paranoid. Will deff be having an early scan. Just got a print out of my blood test results which receptionist say are 'normal' (guess what I will be googling tonight?!) Any thyroid experts on here?

JBrd · 22/03/2013 19:48

shell My pros for an early scan would be...peace of mind that there's something there and it's of the right size/at the right stage.
Cons...the fact that even if it's all looking good, it'll be no guarantee that all will go well after the scan. With my mc, I had a scan at what would've been 7 weeks - they only saw an empty sac. Went back for another scan a week later because my hCG levels were still going up, they found a heartbeat! But I was measuring two weeks small than what I should've been. And then, just when I started to believe all would be OK, I miscarried.
So I'm not sure if for me, an early scan will be that reassuring...but I'm still thinking about it. Maybe if DH says he definitively wants one? Oh, I don't know.

GardenWorm · 22/03/2013 20:38

Hmm it's difficult isnt it JBrd I think I just want an early scan because although I am trying to be positive I still don't believe that my BFP=baby in fact I'm more towards the BFP=mc and if it does I want to know as soon as possible! Even contemplating being greedy and having 2 scans! Too long to wait!!!!

shellshock7 · 22/03/2013 20:58

Oh pink we are hopeless aren't we! Hope you can think of the cramps as positive like anda says

jbrd that must have been such a roller coaster . Think I'd be gettin an early scan in your shoes if I could afford it?

garden if it will help and you can afford it go for it, I had to with DS I worried every second of every day so I know how you feel.

Felt sick all day, just what I needed after last nights events

BumpKitty · 22/03/2013 21:06

Hi all, hope you're all ok. I'm back from my holiday it's was lovely but really hard too as all the time I had to not do things because I'm pg, of course I don't mind not drinking or going on water slides or in saunas etc. but it just made such an issue out of the pregnancy every single day when I'd rather have my head buried in the sand! My friends got the hint and only mentioned it when I wanted to but I'm relieved to be back home.
So.. Early scans, I'm pretty sure I will have one, as I had empty sac which had only grown till about 6/7 weeks and I went to 12 weeks before bleeding I just want to see if there is a baby this time. I think I will phone tomorrow. Eeeek, the scan place is about 2 minutes down the road from me in a big old mansion - how weird!

Higg · 22/03/2013 21:37

Hi I'm new here,
I'm nearly 5 weeks pregnant, due 23-11-13. been to my gps today to fill out the form and due to late miscarriage of my twin boys in october, I'm going to be consultant lead for my ante-natel care and labour, I'm on tender hooks all the time every twinge cramp I get, Ibkeep thinking the worst I know I need to relax but it's so hard. Congratulations to everyone and here's to our November bundles of joy

JBrd · 22/03/2013 23:33

Welcome, Higg, sorry to hear about your ordeal, thar must have been awful. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly this time.

Bumpkitty your holiday sounds lovely...in spite of having to be careful.
Are scan facilities always in old mansion houses?!? It's the same where I live (or maybe we live in the same place...? Who knows!)

IBelieveInPink · 23/03/2013 07:07

Hi high, welcome. Sorry for your losses.

Bump, sorry you couldn't enjoy your hols properly. I'm a bit like that at the moment, can't enjoy anything because I am so busy worrying about things going wrong! It really does put your life on hold doesn't it!

shellshock7 · 23/03/2013 08:05

Hi bump bad timing on your hol but it'll be worth it in the end

Hi high how awful hope you're ok, glad you've got good care this time round.

I've got my 3+ and I feel sick as hell...woop woop woop

IBelieveInPink · 23/03/2013 09:20

Yay! Shell thats fab news I so pleased for you! Woop woop!

JBrd · 23/03/2013 09:22

Yay, shell, I guess

I also poas again today, and the line came up almost faster than the control line, within seconds, and very dark. I guess there is no denying I'm pregnant .
No sickness, but I feel hungry all the time - or rather, my stomach feels empty, even after a big meal. Had this last time, so I guess it's only a matter of time until the sickness kicks in...

Lots of snow here, have to try now and get to Morrisons, ugh.

GardenWorm · 23/03/2013 11:40

Whoop Shell - here's to feeling sick too and Whoop Jbrd

Hello Higg stay positive X

Bodicea · 23/03/2013 13:42

Hey people.

Woop to shel and j bird for good stick peeing.

And welcome to hig there is lots of love on this thread.

Symptoms well and truly kicking in now. Feel like I've got a hangover every morning at mo. weak, feeble and ratty. Didn't have time to get hubby to stab me as we went straight out after work for tea andcomedy club. My friend had a glass of prosseco waitng for me when I got there. Eeek. So the cat was out the bag. Am a shit liar! Anyway got back and had to get drunk hubby to stab me - I really can't cope doing it myself. Queue me crying and screaming to get it the fxxk out of my leg as he was a bit slow. I am so soft!

BrieMonster · 23/03/2013 14:36

Found you finally!! I wish bakingtins was still here.

22 weeks today. Moody at hell. Excited too. And a bit in awe of dietcoke's twins!

andadietcoke · 23/03/2013 16:02

Hi brie lovely to hear you're doing well. I'm in awe of the twins too - spend all day every day in a constant state of anxiety. I wondered today if I'd still be finding things to worry about if there was just one though!! Scan #5 on Tuesday for 16w so at least that will appease me a little bit (if everything's okay).

IBelieveInPink · 23/03/2013 16:53

Hey Brie! Nice to see you here!

Okay ladies, I'm really sorry, I know I keep going on but I so scared. Have spent most of the day crying, and DH said - why don't you ask those nice ladies on your forum, so I'm here again.
All day and since yesterday, I have had pretty much constant aching on the left side. It's less like cramping, which is short and comes and goes, and more like an ache which is always there, feels a bit tender but not necessarily really painful. It gets worse when I move around so am just lying down! I am in full on panic, and have convinced myself that this is going to end badly. Does anyone know what I'm on about? I know i keep moaning, I'm sorry!

shellshock7 · 23/03/2013 17:35

At a wedding so can't answer properly but couldn't read (while weeing!) your message and run pink I don't know the answer but I had many days like that with DS and would be totally convinced it was all over and he is here now so fingers crossed its nothing, hope you're ok x

andadietcoke · 23/03/2013 17:48

ibip don't apologise. We're all going through the same thing. Early on my aches would last 3 or 4 days. I would lie in bed sobbing, googling, waiting for the bleeding to start and trying to convince myself it was wind. I got through the worst days with paracetamol - it helped with the pain but also allowed me to think about other things if it wasn't all I could think about. I still get aches but they're milder now - nothing like what they were at 6-10 weeks. Everything inside you is stretching, and that hurts. It's a good thing (and this time next week you'll be worrying it's stopped).

andadietcoke · 23/03/2013 17:51

Oh, and the other thing I had was some kind of cyst (corpus luteal I think) which was 7mm and could have caused some side pain and are very common. It was seen on the scan at 7.5 weeks but has gone now.
