That sounds really positive Sugar! I really hope the doctors do something,even if just bloodwork! I mean the pain def. could be from the infection...I've never had a UTI but I took a friend to the ER for pain once and it turned out to be that, so I know they can be painful.

Sorry to hear team yellow Gibs. Could they not see?
Been to the doctors and still no bloods taken
. I've got to go back on Monday again and he might do them then. He thinks the pain could be the uti, pregnancy ligaments stretching or just a bad back. He said to take paracetamol for the pain, but I'm not sure if I'm going to. He said he's more positive than me, as he thought if it was a mc, I would be bleeding now and have stomach pains. Oh and my temperature is still up a bit. Bloody sick of being in limbo. It wouldn't have killed him to do bloods. They are so shit in York, they won't pay for a damn thing! It doesn't help that I have very few pregnancy symptoms, whereas at this stage with Charlotte, I totally knew I was prego

Sugar, that really pisses me off! I hate to throw around the word ectopic, but having been through one, I really wish they would do betas in order to rule it out. If it is a mc, progesterone isn't going to stop it from happening. I know more than one woman who had a mc even though they were taking progesterone. So definitely keep taking it. Is there anywhere that you could pay to have betas taken? On Monday you should tell him you are concerned about an ectopic (even if you aren't) because you are feeling pain on one side where your tube is. Plant the seed in his brain and see if he'll do bloods then.
I seriously think that we're smarter than most doctors at times.
Gibs, I didn't realize you were getting another scan. Sorry about team yellow still. How is Ian taking it?
Allie, I hope the Effexor works. I'm sure you already know this, but it can take a few weeks for it to take effect. I'm really glad Alex is addressing this. Good luck to both of you on the jobs. I doubt you have cancer. That sounds like your anxiety talking. It sounds more like a hormonal shift compounded with stress. But by all means get it checked if it persists.
Lucy, I hope you get your cervical length appt. sorted. Glad your tightenings are subsiding a bit. Don't forget to lie on your left side as much as possible too.
Dazed, good to see your name pop up.
The sleep saga continues. Well not really. It took her longer to go down last night with the pick up/put down method. And she woke at 11pm and I had to do it for a minute before she fell back asleep. Today for nap though, we did it for 30 minutes. She mostly played and I sat still with my eyes shut. When she cried, I picked her up and put her down and told her it was time to sleep. Eventually she decided to lie down by herself, play with her stuffed animals and fall asleep. First time she's ever done that. It felt like progress. I want her to think of going to sleep as a fun experience, not a labored one. May this trend continue.
Going to a dinner party tonight in San Francisco and Tim is staying home. I can't wait to be with adults and drink wine!

Sugar that sucks your dr won't do bloods but good he's positive.
The pregnancy had been different to my pregnancy with Benjamin. I had a neg test when I first tested which was then positive a few days later. I was lucky my dr did blood work but only because she knew I was worried as I had cramping and was bleeding she said normally she wouldn't do it.
My symptoms this time kicked in about 5/6 weeks and then I felt rough as anything much worse than when I was pregnant with Benjamin. My boobs didn't hurt at all just felt tingly & hot at times but not sore.
I am keeping everything crossed for you.

Thanks for the advice Hearty. I'm just going to ride it out till Monday, but if the pain gets any worse, will go straight to a&e. The doc didn't seem concerned about ectopic as I've got no pain apart from in my back. Lucy, sounds like you have a lovy doctor if she took bloods for reassurance.
Hearty,sounds like your technique is working. Charlotte was a little bugger last night and refused to go to sleep on her cot. Brought her into bed and she was sitting up, pointing to her nose and giggling. Would have been funny if it hasn't gone on for half the night
Allie, I hope the meds work for Alex.

Tbh I feel generally unwell, a bit shivery and hot face. I'm hoping it's just to do with the UTI, as I believe it can cause these symptoms. I've just got a gut feeling that this pregnancy is going nowhere

Sugar I'm so sorry this is the course it is taking. Even if the baby is ok, it isn't a nice way to start a pregnancy. Especially after having losses.
Super cute about Charlotte. Though you must be exhausted.
Lucy, June 21 will be here before you know it. Glad it's sorted.
It just took me 45 minutes to get Delilah down for her nap. I miss rocking her to sleep. I know she needs to figure out how to go to sleep on her own, but I feel like caving. I'm going to stick with it a little longer though.

I miss rocking Alistair all the time! Now he barely even sits while I try to sing to him at night and when we say our prayers he walks around with his arms folded! LOL! He is always on the move.
I hope you stick with it and it gets easier. I can't believe she's almost one. Do you have any big bday plans for her?

Amanda hows the sleeping going?
Benjamin seems to be back to his normal pattern thank goodness he slept in untill 8pm on sat morning and half 8 Sunday morning well he was wake before then but happy playing in his cot and chatting away. Fingers crossed he does the same tomorrow morning.
Sugar my dr has been amazing shes been with me through all of my losses and my pregnancies. She only works 2 days a week and you normally have to wait to see her as get appointments run beind but that's because she gives you time no rushing you in and out. How are you? Has the pain eased?
Allie hope you are feeling better.
Well our house will be officially on the market as of tomorrow!!

Sugar, good luck tomorrow. How are you feeling?
Lucy, that's great about Benjamin's sleep. He must know that mummy needs her rest. Sweet boy. Congrats on getting your house on the market. Are you still looking for a house?
Delilah has been sleeping beautifully the past few nights. I was up until 1am after the dinner party and wine. It was extremely fun, but I was so tired and hungover on Saturday. Tim helped as much as possible on Saturday which was a blessing. I caught up on my sleep last night though. I'm kind of wavering from the pick up put down method. I've been reading some websites that say she might be too old for it and that at her age, it can overstimulate her. So what I've been doing lately is holding her until she is almost asleep and then putting her in her crib. She is still awake, but barely. I pat her a few times and then she is asleep. I keep thinking that as long as she sleeps through the night, I don't mind doing it this way. I really enjoy the snuggles with her too. She's only little once, so I'm going to make the most of it. If it becomes a burden, I'll do something else. But currently, I can put her down so easily, without any protest or tears. The pick up put down method was lasting 30 minutes to an hour with lots and lots of crying. She was getting over tired and stressed.

Hi ladies, well to update I got a 3+ on the digital yesterday, but back to having terrible back pain and a bit of stomach pain too. Saw the Doc and practically had to force him to do bloods. He was in a right huff about it, the miserable sod. I don't know what his problem is! Will hopefully get the results back tomorrow and then bloods again on Wednesday to see what's happening. He will also arrange a scan when I see him again on Friday. Still don't know what to think. Keep going from feeling quite optimistic to feeling that it's totally over.
Hearty, pleased you had a good night out and that's great that Delilah is sleeping so well. I use the same method with Charlotte. I either feed or cuddle her till she's nearly asleep and then pop her in her cot. Sometimes she still cries and I have to go back, but usually she settles. I think what you're doing is absolutely fine and like you said, it's nice to get cuddles with them.
Lucy, how exciting your house is on the market. Are you looking for something in the same area?
Allie, that pic on fb of Alistair locked in the car is hilarious!

Sugar, that is great news. It's looking very promising. I'm glad you will have some good beta results by Weds. In the meantime, try to relax as it's out of your hands. I know that's easier said than done.
Hearty, that makes total sense. I think it would be the same with Alistair at this point....he would be too stimulated. I'm happy you had a fun night out, sorry about the hangover!
LOL, thanks, Sugar, I am so blonde sometimes!
Mel, I am currently researching a company (for my analyst job) that has locations in High Level and Red Deer. It made me think of you!

Sugar I'm pleased your dr has done blood and pray its good news. Getting a 3+ on a digi is a good sign. I think what you are feeling is perfectly normal you are bound to be up & down, it's being in limbo I remember it with Benjamin hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.
Yes we're staying in the area but we need a bigger house especially with number 2 on the way it's a shame as we love our house but be great to find our family home we're hoping to find a place that we can stay in for a while. We are online and have a for sale sign up its all very real now!!
Amanda I did the pick up put down method but adapted to work for us. Benjamin goes down pretty much without any trouble most nights we can hear him chatting away or playing with his car which he took to bed with him a few nights ago its quite handy as it amuses him in the morning for a little bit.
Allie hope Alex rescued ok, great pic I love he happy Alistair looks all comfy I the car.

Sugar I think its looking more promising girl! Honestly though whats up with that doctor??? Whats the big fucking deal with running some fucking blood tests??? Jesus...
Hearty as you know I still cuddle and rock Hero to sleep, and then move her to her cot. I dont mind, honestly in a couple of years ill be chasing her down for a few cuddles so im enjoying it as much as it lasts...Heck i still give her a bottle at bedtime even though my pediatrician gives me tons of grief over it haha!!
Lucy good luck with the sale, hope you find your perfect family home soon!
Not much going on over here, im trying to get the paper work ready for my application for daycare. I want Hero to start in September, but i cant afford private nursery at the mo. There is so much fecking red tape whenever you have to deal with the government that i swear they do make it so tiring just to put you off the idea...The nursery is right across the street so it will ace if she gets a placement...Fingers crossed i suppose!
