It fell out! 2 births so far! :-)

Hi Ladies

Thank you so much for all the responses and support, I so love all of you

Ink, so sorry to hear what you are having to go through . But you do indeed sound like you have a fantastic doctor and it sounds like help is now just around the corner

Lou, don't give up just yet, surely yesterday's line must have meant something? I've been having constant little cramps and twinges and still am, particularly on the right side very low down I'm convinced this is where is implanting!

I have looked at both my tests again when I've just got home and they are both definitely positive - both pink and easy to see. I just really expected a darker line this morning Kim, thanks for uploading those pics, my first test yesterday afternoon is darker than those I think and I would say my line from this morning is similar or maybe slightly fainter.

Gemylou, thank you so much for your reply. That gives me some hope that maybe I have higher hormones later in the day. This would fit with my symptoms over the past several days - I have found I get most of my symptoms later in the day and feel pretty normal in the morning!

I am still very cautious and doubtful. Not that I have conceived, I am not pretty sure I have. But my boob pain has all but gone since about lunchtime and this usually happens shortly before AF arrives I am still having the little pinching/pulling low down but the boob thing is worrying me. Oh well, time will tell I guess. I'm out for a nice carvery with a couple of friends tonight so just going to enjoy that.

OH has been lovely. He was so, so pleased when I showed him the first test yesterday I can tell he's excited and said he went all shaky when he saw the result He's text me several times today to check how I am as he knows I'm worried about the fainter result this morning. Bless. He'll make such a fantastic daddy and I really want this little to stick around for him x

PS: Just had blood tests confirmed as normal - progesterone level confirms ovulation and thyroid levels normal Figures since I've had two s in the last 24 hours

I can honestly say girls that this is not how I thought I'd feel when I got my I am just so flippin' nervous and just checking for blood every time I go the loo! I really wish I could be just a little bit excited Should the stay away for a few more days and I get another positive test, I may start to relax and enjoy this a bit more. It's just too early yet I think x

 

[inkdchick]

awww Nat im so pleased for you and dont worry im sure all will be fine and then you can relax Congratulations xxxxx

 

[inkdchick]

Hi ink, it sounds as if you've got a lovely doctor. I hope you can be seem by the specialist sooner rather than later and at least you know you are still able to conceive although that probably doesn't help when you keep having to go through the loss Hun. Any ideas how long it will take to be seen by the specialist?
Ladies I'm fast losing my pma! I've got really nasty af cramps and also back ache so I'm wondering if af is going to make an appearance in a couple of days

im not sure how long it will be before we can get to see him but my doc knows him personally and he knows my hubby has no children and said that he wil help make my hubby a dad asap and he will ask his friend to see us urgently so hopefully no too long x, i will let you know

 

[gemylou]

hi no problem just wanted you to know that there really isnt a norm and everyone is different i swear that with both pregnancies i did tests late in the day as hormones always seemed higher in the afternoon! plus to reassure toots i felt that i was most def out this month as af seemed round the corner from about 7dpo must have been implantation feelings in the end as now 6 weeks and few days congrats everyone and keep most of bnb posted

 

[Toots3495]

Evening all,
Fantastic news Nat!!You didn't need to put yourself through the horrible blood test after all! I couldn't be more pleased for you It is going to feel scary to start with but you'll soon relax and begin to enjoy it hun
Whenare you booking to see the doc? Your hubby must be over the moon with you, clever girl!!!!!
Ink, great to hear that doc is freinds with the specialist.I really hope theres not a long wait. How are you feeling after speaking to him?
Gemylou, how long had you been ttc before you got pregnant? Its really nice of you to try to reassure me. Thats whats so great about being on here, you can get lots of advice for ladies who have been there and done that!
Stina, hope you've had a good day. I miss you not being able to chat during the day!
Kim, hows your day been?

I'm not going to dwell on it cos we've had fantastic news on here today but just to let you know that I started spotting today. Bloody test was just messing me around. Anyhow I shall pick myself up, dust myself down and get back on the horse (or should I say oh)
I would very much value your opinions as to whether we should keep trying for a few more months with maybe including acupuncture or shall I start making arrangments for iui. I'm not really sure which way to go?

 

[Waitin4astork]

Inkd, it sounds like your doctor is being really supportive which is great It's a big plus that you are falling, so I hope they can help you out to keep it going. Fingers crossed!

Lou- is there any chance that the spotting much just be implantation? Spotting very early on is really common. I'm keeping up that PMA for you If it is that AF is on its way, then I think Nat and I are proof that acupuncture definitely deserves a shot!

Nat- it is TOTALLY normal to be feeling like you are. I was in denial for a few days because I was too scared to believe it in case AF turned up. I was obsessively checking for blood in the first couple of weeks, still expecting to come on. I had loads of twinges and cramps too which freaked me out, but it was just our little bean getting comfy In fact Nat, you've pretty much reacted to your BFP in exactly the same was I did- cautious, slightly disbelieving and in shock! Go and enjoy your evening and have loads of fun- no wine though

 

[Waitin4astork]

Oh as for me, pretty quiet day all in all. Been off work so spent the day relaxing at home- even had a nap, so I feel very awake now! Felt bubba move again this morning but not felt anything tonight as yet.

 

[Toots3495]

Theres nothing like a relaxing day at home Kim. I always try to sneak a nap in.
Keep the pma up for me hun cos I just aint got it in me tonight! I think I'll have to agree with what oh said the other day and admit out loud that I'm completely nuts!

 

[Nat0619]

Hi Ladies

Just got in from a nice carvery with the girls. They both know we are ttc but I never breathed a word I told them my blood test had come back fine and we were talking pregnancy etc but I never mentioned anything about my two positives. 1, I'm too scared to this early and 2, my mom and dad need to be next to know. OH was first, then you girls on here , no-one else knows a thing yet. Plus I think I'll need about a million more positive tests before I believe it

Got in tonight and needed the loo (No 2 ) - and discovered another symptom that has been slowly developing over the past several days - a bit of constipation ! I never, ever suffer with this so there is definitely something going on! Plus, sore boobs have come back

Lou, sorry to hear about the spotting I am still keeping some PMA for you but, should this be AF, I completely agree with Kim - acupuncture!! I firmly believe this is the reason for my These chinese know their stuff. It may be expensive but I have only had 3 treatments and just cannot believe we've got our positive test already x

 

[Nat0619]

Morning ladies

Update - I've this morning got a very clear on a FRER AF is officially a day late today

I'm starting now to believe that this is real and starting to feel a bit more

Girls, I can't believe we've finally done it We are both still obviously very, very cautious and will not be telling anyone for a while yet.

How is everyone? Lou, how's it going? I would strongly, strongly, strongly, completely and utterly urge you to keep going and to definitely, absolutely, completely try acupuncture!! x

 

[Waitin4astork]

Yay yay yay Nat!!!!


I am SO thrilled for you- you have no idea! I was talking about you and Lou non stop to OH yesterday. He was looking at me as if I had a screw loose how excitedly I was talking, but he was really pleased I totally think that it can't be a coincidence we both got our BFPs after acupuncture (in fact, I had exactly the same amount of sessions as you!). When it's all started to sink in a bit and you're not feeling quite so nervous, get that ticker and status changed and have a nosey in first tri

How is everyone else today? After I was saying I hadn't felt bubba move much last night, he went berserk and started moving loads- I think he was doing somersaults in there lol.

 

[inkdchick]

NAT Congratulations hun long time coming and very well derserved just relax now and enjoy the ride hun H & H 9 months to you hun xxxxx

 

[Toots3495]

Morning ladies,
Wooohooooo constipation nat!!!!! Be proud of your new symptom
Glad to hear your sounding a little bit more confident in your
Kim, I often natter on to my oh about you girls. Show him scan pics etc but I don't think men quite get it do they. He asked me what we all find to talk about all day, every day
I am going to book for acupuncture asap and have found someone doing it fairly near to me. Couple of questions, do you have to get naked?! For aiding fertility does it have to be in a certain part of your cycle? Did you just pick someone close or was it done via recommendation? I'm also going to contact the hospital to get the ball rolling for iui. I doubt v much we'll get started on that straight away, you know what the nhs is like, so I thought I'd get a bit of acupuncture in whilst on the iui waiting list
My oh was a bit odd about the spotting. He's normally really sweet but he just told me last night he didn't want to talk about it and he could tell I was upset. He's not mentioned it at all and Ive not even had a hug!! I've got 2 things to feel upset about now. Men!!!!!!!

 

[Waitin4astork]

Hey Lou

Is the spotting definitely the start of AF? No chance of implantation bleeding? I'm still clinging onto hope for you!

As for the acupuncture, you definitely DON'T have to get naked- don't worry about that! I wore a top and jeans and just had to unbutton the jeans so he could put needles around my tummy area. Your modesty is completely protected I ended up going to Dr and Herbs at the Trafford Centre which I know is a chain, but might just be in the North West!? I initially went a year ago because I was going through a stressful time, and just had a one off de-stress session. I was actually really shocked at how it made me feel after just one session- totally relaxed and calm. I had heard of some success stories of people conceiving after acupuncture so when it was beginning to get me down, I didn't think there was any harm in giving it a try. As with Nat, I'm not sure whether I'd have got my BFP that cycle without it. I didn't go at any specific points in my cycle- I just went weekly, but I didn't go during AF which was just my personal preference.

 

[Toots3495]

Thanks Kim, I'm quite keen to get started with it. It surely can't just be a coincidence that both you and nat got your bfp the same month you had it. I'm 99% sure the spotting is start of af but if it's not then at least I get a lovely surprise.

 

[windswept]

Ladies, ladies, ladies!

I am soooo chuffed to hear your fab news Nat - I really, truelly am - over the moon, delighted! You so deserve it. You have something in common with both Kim and I - Kim and you did acupuncture in that cycle, and you and I both had out CD21 test... Looking forward to seeing that ticker on your signature! Have you worked out your due date?

Lou - I share your disappointment in your spotting - was praying that this was your cycle. I agree with the girls - acupuncture could be the answer. You have the patience of a saint, and it is all going to be worth the wait very soon!

Kim - glad to hear of all your movements - it is such a nice feeling. I fell up the stairs in work yesterday and my tummy 'jerked'. I was really worried for a while, then the wee one started going bonkers kicking, punching, headbutting and somersaulting! It's so reassuring to feel them. Heading to aquanatal at lunchtime, some 'me and bubba' time!

Cx

 

[Waitin4astork]

Blimey Stina, glad that you and bubba are ok. Sounds like you woke *her* up I'm so clumsy that it's only a matter of time before I fall over at some point. It was a miracle that I got through all of the snow and ice around Christmas without landing on my backside!
Have fun at aquanatal x

 

[Toots3495]

Morning stina, is it a day off work today?
what do you do at aquanatal? Is it just gentle exercise?
Bubba was probably annoyed with you falling over so that's why you got lots of headbutting afterwards. Bub was probably in a lovely sleep and you go and wake him/her up!

 

[windswept]

I am working in a different office, so off the network and therefore able to come on undetected!

Yeah, I guess bubba was probably annoyed with me! I was annoyed with myself - got a bit of a fright. I was at the beach on Friday with Mr W and my wee neighbour and tripped over a rock and went for miles before getting my balance back - and keep dropping things - so think I am getting much more clumsy!

I love your little swimming smiley, Lou!!! Aquanatal is very gentle, but good fun - for me it's more about meeting other mums to be. I live on Harris, but work on Lewis, so had been meeting mums in Lewis and none nearby - so today's class will be a chance for me to meet my local midwife and the ladies nearby. I've finally changed my GP practise, so will have a local midwife - instead of one 50 miles away!

Lou - I am still holding out hope for you for this month and will be expecting an update tomorrow!

Thanks for emailing me ladies - much appreciate that! Kim - I still owe you a reply!
