Yogi, I warned you before that it is too early to see a heartbeat, so don't worry! If the fetal pole was detected, there are no worries. You will see the heartbeat at the next scan, I promise you! And in about another 6 weeks, they should be able to detect it with the doppler, if not a little bit sooner. Merry Christmas, now go and celebrate that little baby!!

 

[Razcox]

Megg - That test looks fine to me so stop worrying (i know i know its near impossble for us PAL girls) and enjoy being preggers xx

Yogi - I agree with Vicky its still early days so dont stress over there being no HB, you saw the sac yolk and pole which is great x

Lucy - Those numbers look great! Cant wait for you to have your scan and see that little bubs in there x

Dawny - Sorry you are in pain love but dont rule yourself yet the last two times i have gotten BFP I had some bad cramps that i thought were AF on her way. Will be sending lots of your way and hoping the stays away x

AFM - I have some great news my girl Ela is pregnant!!! The scan was great and we clearly saw at least 4 little sacs with the tiny puppies inside. You could even see the little hearts beating away which was amazing and so much like my scan at 6 weeks it was scary Puppies due early feb

Raz congrats on the puppies thats so exicting and lovely.

Megg please dont worry about the test its a definite positive sweetie hope you get your scan date through.

Yogi thats all good news its just to early to see the heartbeat at your next scan you'll be able to.

I'm a little worried girls have had some light pink spotting its really not much but its scaring me sometimes seems like pinkish cm more than anything but I have a lot if cramping as well I'm so scared I'm going to loss the baby things seemed to be going so well and now I'm terrified trying not to let it show with chirstmas tomorrow. Could everything be alright or is this bad news?

I had a big scare at the same gestation. I had pink cm and it turned a bit brown and then back to pink again before it went away. My doctor said that you can have implant bleed any time from 4 weeks to 8 weeks and it is totally normal. I thought "8 weeks?" and she reassured me that it takes a longer time for the implant bleed to get though the mucus plug your cervix is making so it can take longer to get out sometimes. And sometimes pink cm means your cervix is closing up good and tight.

I think that sounds perfectly right, April! No worries!

Thanks for the reassurance about my test.

Thinking of you all today! Hoping this is a great month all around!

I'll be the first to say Merry Christmas, girls!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day.

I had a wonderful Christmas Eve with the family. And only a few people mentioned me having a baby any time soon! I ate soooo much and even though I haven't drank in a year I indulged in some wine and Baileys, yum. We just got home a bit ago and I'm 'knackered.' But then Alex and I put a fake fireplace video on our TV for a laugh and then exchanged a few sneaky gifts by the tree. It was really cute. Now time for bed.

Yogi, your scan sounds perfect for where you are! I know not hearing the hb sucks but it really is just too early.

Lucy, it sounds like the pink spotting is super normal, as are cramps as you stretch and grow. I know it's hard not to worry but remember how great your numbers are and the symptoms you're having.

Dawny, I hope it's implantation cramping you're getting.

Raz, congrats about Ela. I can't wait to see puppy pics in a few months!

Glad you've relaxed, Megg!

Merry Christmas to you, too, Mel. Thanks for the pretty Silent Night video. Very festive!

Hi all - is it here I join in to chat? I got AF yesterday so this means this cycle we are TTC for the fourth time. Quick background. I've had 3 missed miscarriages; my second pregnancy was a twin one so have lost 4 babies in total. Lost my last baby in May this year. I was diagnosed as subclinical hypothyroid in Jan this year however this was referred after my last miscarriage and I have finally been treated for hypothyroidism. Achieved normal thyroid levels by November and DH and I agreed to TTC again from the New Year. I'm excited but scared at the same time.

Morning lovely ladies and i guess a Merrry Christmas is in order!! I have to start getting ready for the dreaded lunch with IL soon so not quite merry im afraid...

Yogi as the girls said 6 weeks is very early for a hb, i could list about 10 girls from the PAL threads who had the exact scare and everything turned out ok!

Allie good stuff girl! Have a few more glasses today lol!

Meggles hoow you holding up girl???

Luce please try not to worry, i know its hard but everything has been looking so good this time that i think you and lo will be alright...

Hearty thinking about you today, hope you and Tim have a good snuggle and a great Thai meal!

Last but not least welcome Holly! Yeas this is the place to be for chatting, talking bullocks, freaking out and getting dozens of hugs when you need them! Im so sorry for your losses, weve all been there and it sucks babes....I hope 2011 will be your year to hold your forever baby!

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Merry Christmas girls! I hope you all have a wonderful day.

I am working, boo, but we're all in good spirits at work so should go quickly today.

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Megg33k]

Welcome, Hollybush! Sorry for your losses, honey!

I'm holding up okay. I'm getting a little annoyed at my parents' lack of knowledge regarding pregnancy, but I'm trying to be patient. For example, sometimes my tummy goes funny when I need to eat, and apparently "its too early for [me] to feel anything like that"... and when they saw how tired I get in the afternoons, they told me I need to find some energy and perk up... I wouldn't be so tired if I did more stuff and wasn't being lazy! FUCK YOU! I'M GROWING A PERSON! Then... THEN... They try to blame my "meds" for causing the symptoms instead... because THAT'S what I need... I need someone to tell me that my symptoms are all related to my progesterone shots/suppositories! I'm letting it go in one ear and out the other, because I know they don't understand. But, its pissing me off. lol

Sounds like a good day, Allie!

Try and enjoy yourself, Vicky!

Cesca - WORKING? ON CHRISTMAS?!?! Hope it goes quickly!

 

[sugarlove]

Happy Xmas girls. Have a great day. I'm off round to my parents soon for quick Xmas drink round pub, then the full works Xmas dinner.
Megg sounds like you're going to need lots of patience
Xx

 

[vickyd]

Megg sounds like typical parent behavior! My mom just doesnt get why im not happy all day long, she doesnt get that i freak out when i havent felt her for a few hours which makes me completely depressed...Today she called me to tell me that she spoke to a friends daughter who just gave birth about my fear of reduced movement and apparently its normal, apparently every pregnant girl goes through the same stress, apparently im not special. Im like NO i do have reasons to be afraid! Ive had two losses and im sorry but i know things can just go wrong whearas most preggos out there are blissfully unaware!
So my advice to you i just dont show fear, nausea or any other preggo related emotion in front of your parents...

 

[Megg33k]

I can totally avoid some of it... but falling asleep in their truck as we drove from one location to the next was a bit tricky to hide! Any advice on avoiding that?

 

[vickyd]

Thats tricky! You could always tell them that their conversation is so boring that its making you sleepy!!!!!

I'm sure that would go well! My mother's solution... Maybe you need some coffee to stay awake or something (from the woman who won't let me drink caffeine)... I said, "err... caffeine?"... She says, "there's decaf!".. Well, what's the bloody point of that?

 

[VGibs]

Megg I say just barf on them and maybe they will get the point.

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Cesca - WORKING? ON CHRISTMAS?!?! Hope it goes quickly!

I know can you believe it?! It went really well actually, everyone happy in restaurant and food was wonderful. Got some good tips too.

The only problem is I am really feeling the extra weight now and after a few hours on my feet my back and hips ache SO much. I did cry a bit when I came home because of it and now I can only get comfortable propped up by pillows. Ouch. Nevermind, its worth it.

My husband's mum has knitted us a gorgeous cream baby blanket and little stuffed bear, like a PROPER stuffed bear you can imagine still going in 20 years time. We've named him percy.

 

[Dazed]
