More blood this morning. But not enough to warrant anything more than a small towel and no cramps or pain. Enough to leave a mark on a towel and look worrying.

Hospital at 10.20.

Thinking of you this morning pip and hoping that it's just the sudden drop in Gestone doing this. x

Pip I was told by a wise person that with blood it always looks a lot lot more than there actually is x

RevoltingPeasant · 14/01/2015 11:14

Pip? Really really hoping all is well.

Great news on the scan Otters. Like you and Bushy, DH and I are stressing about ours tomorrow. DH vocalised it with 'What if there's nothing there', but I cannot even think along those lines or I'd crumble. There is our wee Pod there until I am told otherwise.

Hoping to hear from you soon Pip. Flowers

My morning sickness is back, so I'm taking that as a positive sign for Pod. DH made me a nice lunch and I'm playing games and trying not to think about this time tomorrow.

Good luck tomorrow bair. I played my diabetes card and have been offered another scan on Monday when I should be 8 weeks. That's the next point in my head I need to get past.

Pip Thinking about you and hoping you are okay Flowers

Bair · 14/01/2015 14:07

Thanks *Otters. EPU have been amazing with me, I've rang them twice already Blush called today to check I could take a certain brand of laxative and they could not be more understanding about me being stupidly anxious about it all. Just seems like nothing is too much bother for them. I'll be 7 week and 3 tomorrow so after that it'll be the 12 week scan for us. I just need to see something tomorrow and I'm hoping I'll relax a bit. Hoping all looks good on Monday (sure it will). Smile

I went to take RP advice on hypobirthing techniques helping in pregnancy and was going to go with Maggie Howell until I saw her 'Hypnobirthing helps with IVF book'. Put me right off. How the fuck does positive thinking help with infertility and a medical procedure? Angry It's like a book for all those pricks who tell you to 'Just relax!' when you're going through your own personal hell. I'm all for mind over matter with pain and anxiety to an extent, but with conception? If I could think myself pregnant we'd be like the Von Trapps by now.

RevoltingPeasant · 14/01/2015 14:22

Argh Bair I didn't know she'd done that. What a shame! I suppose it might be about coping with the stress of procedures though?

I am "working at home" today which has mostly involved getting up at 10 and cleaning the kitchen so far Blush I am veering between having these manic tidying urges and feeling too tired to do more than read detective fiction.

pip keep thinking of you and keeping everything xed. Really hoping for a positive outcome.

Pipbin · 14/01/2015 14:33

Baby stopped growing at 9 weeks.

I used IVF hypnosis tracks during both IVF cycles (Helen McPherson and Zita West), they were mainly about helping you to relax during a very stressful process. I found them helpful, even if the cycles weren't successful.

ladybunnikins · 14/01/2015 14:40

I've been thinking about you all day today, Pip, I can't imagine what you and your husband are going through. Flowers

Pipbin · 14/01/2015 14:42

We have been in the hospital since 10. Waiting for it all to pass now.
I don't feel anything emotionally yet.

Bair · 14/01/2015 14:43

I'm so sorry Pip. Sending so much love to you and your husband. Flowers

OttersPocket · 14/01/2015 14:44

Oh Pip I am so terribly sorry. There's nothing to say that will make things any better but my thoughts are with you and your husband Flowers

sparechange · 14/01/2015 14:49

So so sorry, Pip.

Can't even imagine what you are both going through, but thinking of you xx

RevoltingPeasant · 14/01/2015 15:14

Oh Pip. I'm more sorry than I can say.

Pixie001 · 14/01/2015 15:43

Oh crap pip I'm so so sorry to hear your news. After all you've been through. You and Mr Pip must be devastated. So so horrible to go through it, I can't imagine and can only hope not to experience it but it could happen to anyone. Take care of yourself and each other. We're thinking of you.

FeatherFeather11 · 14/01/2015 16:10

I'm so so sorry pip. Devastated for you. Sending you all the strength in the world right now. It's just not fucking fair at all. Thinking of you and Mr Pip. x

Oh pip that's awful, just awful. I know just how upsetting and side sweeping it is. So, so sorry this has happened to such a lovely person.

Pipbin · 14/01/2015 20:42

Thank you Bushy and everyone else.
I'm going to hide the thread now, but good luck everyone else.

Bair · 15/01/2015 08:52

Scan day today, I'm 7 + 3 by our dates. Neither DH or I have slept well. Being overly nice to each other in that way you do when you're putting up ikea furniture and you know there may be a stress induced argument at any minute.

Hope everyone else is well today.

FeatherFeather11 · 15/01/2015 09:19

Good luck bair. Let us know how you get on. What time is your scan? xx

Pixie001 · 15/01/2015 09:21

Good luck Bair..it's terrifying isn't it? Hope goes well, let us know.

OttersPocket · 15/01/2015 09:35

Best of luck bair.

Pipbin · 15/01/2015 09:54

Thank you berries for the beautiful flowers. I'm not sure who on here had any part in sending them but it's so lovely and thoughtful.
