its the best thing for them in the long run though I think!Red raspberry leaf helps with the uterine lining. I started that in Dec, and grapefruit juice, and boom - BFP. Still doesn't feel real. And I've heard that you shouldn't take RRL towards the end but I think it's OK in the beginning unless you have a history of mc. I'll ask my GP.
. Fingers crossed this one is sticky!).
I have to go for bloods tomorrow (although strangely I don't think they have requested hcg, unless it's in Greek as I can't read that part) and then for another scan on Tuesday to see how things are going. I read on the scan shot the size was 2.56 I assume that's mm so I don't know how big it's meant to be now. Grrr it's so frustrating not knowing still, at least Tuesday I'll know a bit more, I hope hehe.
Hi everyone, wowsers it's chatty in here now, I just had to catch up on all the posts lol.
Hope everyone is doing ok, just popped by to update you on my appt/scan today, it's not looking great as the dr could only see the sac, no fetal pole or heartbeat which is obviously not where it should be at this time, even on my longest cycle I would be 6w5d so there should be something there by now
I'm really sorry it's not looking good,I will have my fingers crossed that everything is okay for you!
hope you feel better soon All my symptoms seem to have gone today
they'll be back Hi everyone :wave: I'm Jen. I call myself Flyergirl because i am a frequent flyer: I travel for work. Makes TTC... interesting! I got my BFP yesterday - I was a bit surprised because I was sure I didn't ovulate this month. Shows how much I know.
I'm 36 in 2 weeks. EDD is September 25, based on my LMP and a 25 day cycle. This is my first child. I think it's a little boy but maybe that's just wishful thinking - although boys seem to run in my husband's family.
We were TTC 3 months - much shorter than I expected. My GP told me it could take 6-9 at my age. Plus with the amount of business travel I do, timing was awkward. Heh - I should sign this little bean up for an Aeroplan card, he's already travelled 3000 miles, I was away on business last weekI have no travel planned until the end of Feb - I am just going to see how I feel.
I am taking prenatal vitamins - have been since November. I started red raspberry leaf tea in December to increase my chances. That's it so far. I hope it sticks. I am cautiously optimistic! I see my GP on Monday.

Hi everyone,
I haven´t written anything on here for a while but I have been keeping up with everyone elses news (trying to anyway - you girls like to talk!).
This morning I had my first appointment with the midwife and left a little disappointed. Maybe I was expecting too much but all she did was ask me questions about illnesses in the family, weigh me and take my blood pressure. I can´t complain about the midwife, she was lovely but I thought she would give me a little more information about pregnancy in general or how the baby would be, what to expect, etc. At the very least I expected her to confirm I was pregnant even if it was just the pee in the cup test! I have to go back next week for a blood test and to give a urine sample and then thats it until my scan in week 12. Was everyone elses first appointment the same?
One interesting thing she did tell me was that I shouldn´t eat any pre packaged meat at all. All meat should be bought from the butchers and cut there and then. I´ve never heard that before and definitely haven´t been doing that up to now. I thought cooking meat made it safe to eat but she said that even cooking pre packaged meat isn´t enough to kill listeria if the meat is contaminated.
Also, ALL my symptoms have disappeared today but yesterday I felt really bad. It was definitely my worst day by far, the nausea was terrible. Weird.

That's all well and good, but butchers meat can be bloomin' expensive lol, no, never heard that, but my first appointment with my first baby was the same!
