hormone crash after ERPC

[hopie2015]

Aww...thank you so very much, Blu. That is so sweet. I wish my 'real life friends' were as caring people as you all on here! You guys are just the best. I know what you mean- to think all the bfp's would happen so fast after we all first posted on here this winter! So thrilled for Jaspie!!
I hear you with becoming complacent about the bleeding.. I would too.. I remember my friend's sister and her friend had bleeding throughout the first 2 trimesters and babies were perfect. Sometimes it just happens. Glad you are feeling pretty good and more comfortable now in some new tops!! I say just enjoy the eating the next several months. The weight will come off after baby.

Thanks.. I do think I should see a doctor now about it..Most definitely depressed. Hopeful for a better week! Hope all of you mamas-soon-to-be are having good, relaxing weekends!!

 

[jaspie]

I agree with blu hopie you have nothing to apologise for, you're just going through a tough time atm My OH has seen the Dr about depression and is now on tablets and seeing a therapist which have really helped him so it is definitely worth doing xx

Thanks for all your lovely words. I'm a bit freaked out today cos I've got brown tinged cm and cramps which is worrying a bit....but I've also got darker frer lines and strong symptoms so i dunno praying it's just implantation bleeding 😞 it's only tiny amounts when I check internally and most of my cm is clear so fx.

Hope you're all having fab weekends xx

Jaspie both bernie and fit and I have had bleeding during first tri, it just means youre part of the gang, haha. Joking aside it sounds exactly like implantation. I hope your headache has settled now, ive bot had one all week but succumbed to 2 lots of paracetamol today its been banging.
This weekends weird symptom is that the skin on my boobs is really dry, I look like a snake its literally flaking off so Ive plastered them in some decleor prolagene gel hopefully that will help. Ive been sleeping in my bra as my boobs have been sore so im going to leave it off for a few nights now. Ive just had a soak in the bath and got in to bed, going to try and sleep the headache off. Nite nite xx

Hi ladies!

Jaspie I'm sure the brown is just implantation bleeding - I had that both pregnancies. This pregnancy I had it late, which was scary, but the first pregnancy I had it when I was about as far along as you are. It was only there more not even 2 days and never came back. I think your little one is a sticker!

Hopie I second what the others have said, you are not the depressive one of the group at all! It is no wonder you're feeling down with everything that is going on - anyone would be in your position. I hope the doctor is able to help and that you and DF aren't arguing anymore.

Blu I hope you get some good rest so your headache goes away and your skin stops flaking. Pregnancy symptoms can be so weird. I woke this morning with an enormous swollen and throbbing nipple - but only one, the other was normal.

Hope you're having a great weekend Bernie!

Feeling a little freaked out. I woke from a nap this afternoon and saw I had a missed call from the place that is doing my u/s and giving me my blood test results on Monday. I tried calling them back, but the office isn't even open today! I don't think they were just calling to remind me of the appointment as they would have left a message in that case...so what could they be calling about? When they drew my blood they told me they wouldn't be calling with my results and that I wouldn't get them until I went in for my ultrasound. Part of me is terrified that they were calling to tell me something is wrong and that's why they didn't leave a message. DH says there is no way they would call me on Saturday with terrible news when I have an appointment on Monday anyway. I sure hope he's right.

 

[jaspie]

Ohh Fit, i understand you being freaked out, I would be too but it could be anything. I agree with DH i don't think they'd call you on a Saturday to tell you bad news when your appointment is on Monday anyway. Because it would just stress you out until you could see them on Monday. And if it was that urgent to call you when the office is closed they'd have left a message asking you to call or they'd have called you back until you answered. Try not to worry so what's your appointment tomorrow is it blood test results and scan? Sending you hugs I know how stressful this time is for you. It's so so unlikely for anything to be wrong this time. In a couple of days though you'll have peace of mind and how wonderful that will feel xx

Blu i hope your headache goes soon and your skin gets better my headache is still slightly here today but hoping it will be gone later.

Thanks for the reassurance girls, love you all xxx I'm feeling much better today because my cm is more yellow than brown now and my frer is darker again than yesterday so looks like everything is still good also my boobs are sore again today which helps as yesterday they had disappeared! I know it's normal to come and go but if I hadn't have been feeling so ill yesterday it would've freaked me out even more!
Hope you all have a great Sunday! Happy summer solstice!!

Hey everyone, what a lovely day, had a fab fathers day with DS, DH and my parents and now Im shattered. On a plus note my bleeding has stopped and CM is just a bit orangey so I hope all this is coming to an end at long last.
Fit, i wonder if they were calling to change time of appointment or confirm your appointment, my local hospital send a text or voice message reminder. Good luck tomorrow, i cant wait to hear that baby is perfect!
Jaspie your progression is perfect and im glad the sore boobs are back. Mine have fluctuated so much from being barely tender to extremely painful, try not to worry, baby J is a sticker I just know it.
Hope youre both ok Bernie and Hopie?
Im going to shower DS and get him into bed then have a shower myself , get everything ready for work tomorrow and then watch OITNB in bed ☺ perfect end to a perfect day xx

 

[jaspie]

I'm watching OITNB right now myself! So glad to hear the bleeding has stopped blu, fx that's the last of it. Enjoy your relaxing evening xx

Good luck tomorrow fit! Thinking of you and can't wait to hear that everything is wonderful

Really hope baby j is a sticker, please god!! Booked my private scan today for 16th July when I'll be 7+4. Still doesn't quite feel real tbh!!

 

[Blu10]

Roll on 16th july, im excited for you. Will you find out what youre having? I really hope thats me done with bleeding x

 

[jaspie]

Thanks I'm excited too! I'll be nervous on the day but that's a while away yet 😊 Yes we'll definitely find out, we want to buy things ready. I think one day I'd like a surprise but for the first time we both want to know. How about you?

 

[Blu10]

Yes we hope to find out, my anomaly scan is 7th August! Praying all is well. No preference what we have but have always seen us with 2 little boys, not sure why. Im desperate to shop now but have lots of white newborn bits from when DS was tiny that we kept as he only wore them a few times. I do love new babies in white though x

 

[jaspie]

That will be here before we know it Blu! Yay! Can't wait to find out what you're having

 

[hopie2015]

Morning All -- or Afternoon in UK!
Jaspie- totally agree with Blu- sounds just like implantation bleeding! Hope the headaches don't come back. That sure is a common very early pg symptom for most! Thank you so much for the kind words. I am glad the help has worked well for OH. I do need to make an appointment soon.

Blu- so glad you all had a wonderful Father's Day. And v. good about the bleeding ending! What is that show OTINB?!
I have the same feeling Bernie does -- team pink for you-- I don't know why!

Fit- gosh, I totally understand your worry. Maybe it was one of those automated appointment reminders and the message didn't get left?
So your u/s and blood tests are today? Sending you tons of good wishes and prayers all is perfect. Thank you so much for the kind words.

Bernie- how are you doing? Hope you had a relaxing sunny weekend.

Yes, happy Summer Solstice. Have appts. with my mom today. Keeping fingers crossed. Praying summer is a much better season. What I would do for a happy season..a happy month. Was the saddest thing ever seeing my dad in the hospital yesterday for Father's Day. DF went with me. Arguing has stopped. He is one trooper for sticking with me as I am completely miserable to be around I am sure!

Looking forward to reading all the good updates on here tonight! xxxx

 

[Blu10]

Hey Hopie, how did you get on at your mums appointment? Thinking of you. Glad DF is being understanding, for better for worse as they say. Definitely book that docs appointment when you can. ONITB = orange is the new black! Have you seen it? Its on netflix xx
How did your appointment go Fit? I bet baby fit is just beautiful? Hope your screening all came back perfect too and youre feeling well.
Hope jaspie and bernie had a lovely monday?
Ive just got back, thankfully work was relatively quiet today which I was grateful for as I cannot shake this headache. Ive had 2 paracetamol and used the forehead stick and even relented to pepsi at lunch thinking the caffeine may help but it dulls it for a while then it comes back. Think I need a really good nights sleep to feel refreshed. DH isnt well and DS has eaten at nannies so Im having a lazy night and just picked up a ready meal for 1, chilled evening on the cards I think xx

 

[bernie86]

Hey girls! glad to hear you all had nice weekends! Fit, cant wait to hear your update from your appt. Jaspie- def dont stress about the bleeding I had a regular period for one day and that was implantation bleeding... had I known I was preggo I would have been terrified... but it really is normal I think its a good sign! Hopie- so glad you got to spend Fathers day with your dad... Im sure its hard in the hospital but count your blessings you got to be with him Blu- so glad you and DH and DS had a nice fathers day as well!
AFM I had a very busy weekend! Friday was crazy at the office so I went straight home for a nap which was great, but ended the evening with a fight with hubby over whats going in the babies room... he apparently thinks it can double as his man cave/ exercise area because he will need something to do while he spends time with the baby in there! I dont think I will ever understand men, but I think we found compromise some how, or i won I dont know lol. Saturday my best friend came over to help me paint the nursery and it looks great, so glad to finally feel some accomplishment. Yesterday was a little tough missing my Dad but I listened to our favorite songs on the way to have a nice visit with my Grandpa and the rest of our family. and after went to go get pedi's with my mom and SIL. We also finally settled on a date for the baby shower which also relieved some stress. Time is going to quick!!! lol Cant wait for my scan in one week! He's going to look so huge this time! eeekkk!

 

[Blu10]

Oh wow Bernie 20 weeks already?! Sorry yesterday was hard without your dad, our parents are definitely precious and should be cherished each day!
Omg your DH.... what a tool! Men have no idea do they, my DH would suggest something similar. In fact bear in mind that baby is due 23rd dec but we originally thought it was 25th and my DH suggested we go on holiday with some friends and the kids for 4 days... on 27th Dec!!!! You couldnt make it up could you 😂 what an absolute spanner! He was astounded when I said i didnt think it was the brightest idea hes ever had x

 

[jaspie]

Glad you and DH are not arguing anymore hopie. Everything crossed for a happy summer for you

Argh Blu sorry you still have a headache 😬 hope you get a nice restful nights sleep and feel better tomorrow.

Bernie how exciting your scan is next week!! Omg. And great work finishing the nursery that's brilliant! Lol at DH thinking the nursery could be half nursery and half man cave! I'm glad you felt close to your dad yesterday and had a nice day with your grandad How many weeks will you be when you have your shower?

Fit can't wait to hear all about your scan and bloods!

Thanks for the reassurance girls! It is totally normal creamy white colour now and a lot of it today! So i guess it was implantation bleeding. Bernie what a blessing you didn't know you were pregnant you would have had such a fright! I had a great day thanks hope you all did too! I've got bad gas and heartburn which feels like something is stuck in the bottom of my throat and is putting me off food. My appetite has shrunk in the last couple of days I'm not really fancying food. I still can't believe I'm pregnant! I keep forgetting! Did it take a little while to sink in for you guys too?

 

[jaspie]

Lol Blu! Seriously DH?! 😂

 

[bernie86]

Actually Im 17 weeks, 18 weeks for the scan. Ive read that most people have the anatomy at 20 weeks, but my Dr seems to do things a little different, bc this will already be my 3rd scan. except a sonographer is doing it this time. And boy are you right about husbands! sorry but it does make me feel a little better knowing im not the only one with one who literally doesnt think about reality! that would not be the time for you to vacation!!!! lol my brother in laws girlfriend who lives with us told him that he was being ridiculous as well so that made me feel better... unfortunately I got so frustrated that I said something a little over the line, so I did feel really bad, but he did get over it.

 

[bernie86]

Jaspie, it definitely took time for it to sink in! For me I thought I had had my period and moved on from thinking I could be preggo so when I ended up with that + I couldn't believe it... Also in that moment I instantly realized it was too soon, and I was still mourning my loss so i really couldnt wrap my head around it. Hopefully it becomes real to you at your first scan... it didnt feel real to me until that 10 week scan and I saw him Dancing on the screen.

 

[bernie86]

We are doing the shower on oct 24th so I will be 35 weeks. I would do it sooner but we literally cant with all the weddings and events for our friends and family.
