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

See how casually Mamadonna has thrown in that huge news Lou! I've just seen her new journal over in First Tri

Mama, I still don't feel pregnant at 7 weeks I have developed a big liking for cheese this week though and still loving orange juice

Lou, not sure about scan. I've been debating booking myself a private early one but have decided against it for now as have seen some stories in First Tri where it has caused more worry than good so thinking I'll just try to relax and assume all is ok until I have any signs otherwise I will be asking the midwife how quick she can get me in for one though x

 

[Toots3495]

congratulations!!! That's fabulous and very well deservered!
Baby number 6! You are going to be one busy lady

 

[Toots3495]

What has been the cause of peoples worries nat by having an early scan?

 

[Nat0619]

Just seen some instances where they haven't found the heartbeat very early or the has been dated a lot earlier than they thought and they've worried this means it's not growing properly x

 

[Toots3495]

That would definitely cause a huge worry.
Any ideas on what an evap looks like on a test? I did a test last night and there was a line but ridiculously faint. I'm assuming it is an evap cos although the line is there it hasn't really got much colour to it. Does that make any sense?! It was a £shop test so I'm guessing it'll be pretty rubbish.

 

[Toots3495]

Just found evap pics in the pregnancy test forum and it looks v similar to mine. I had a feeling it was an evap but I've never been 100% sure what they look like.

Oh my goodness Mamadonna, congratulations! I love how cool you were about the whole thing You must be so chuffed!

Lou- was there any colour to the line at all? Do you think your patience can hold out and wait a few more days until doing another test?!

Nat- I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's very natural after hearing news like that, that it will bring up worries of your own. On the early scan thing, I had actually booked to have one (although it fell at a funny time around Christmas and New Year) but I ended up having the emergency scan at 9+2 at hospital anyway. I think 9 weeks would be a safe time to have one if you wanted some reassurance because by then, you should definitely be able to see and hear the heartbeat and you'd also be able to see arm and leg buds too.

 

[Waitin4astork]

Oh, and Lou- it's a while ago now but have a look back to the middle of Nov on here. The week I got my BFP, I had the most symptomless time ever! I had a meltdown about 4 or 5 days before my BFP because I had ruled myself out completely (part of the meltdown I now realise was hormones!). It honestly can be the least likely cycle that it happens.

Hi Ladies

I agree Kim, my cycle was similar, had ruled myself out. Mainly because of OH being away but also I just didn't feel different enough. And still don't! This is the cause of all my worry!!

Kim, just been speaking to my mom on the phone about my worries and lack of symptoms and she made the good point you made about acupuncture a while back. Could this still be working in some way in balancing my body and keeping sickness etc away? Could explain why you felt well too After all, when I asked my acupuncturist whether I should have it now I'm preg, he said only if I was feeling very sick etc as it can help with that He also said to me at my last appointment (4 weeks ago today) that a session can continue working on balancing the body for a month or more.

Lou, I have no idea what evaps look like sorry. I agree with Kim, maybe test again in a couple of days or so and see if you get anything It is still very early so certainly don't rule yourself out x

 

[spiceyuk]

sugarjules I was exactly the same. Got pregnant in the first month of trying (did not follow any special rules) unfortunately ended in miscarriage too. Started trying to conceive again this month, right in the middle of my ovulation period so TWW begins. Good luck to you all

thanks stork,i'm over the moon but i'm so scared october is gonna repeat itself,i wish i could just sit back relax and enjoy

 

[inkdchick]

ooooh Mamadonna im so pleased for you and try not to worry, they will propbably keep a closer eye on you this time and make sure you are ok, am so so happy for you xxx

 

[inkdchick]

well girls i had the most incredible afternoon, in the morning tho i went to see my old lady friend who i do things for coz she is an amuputee of 86 and cant do a lot for herself so i help her with her washing and stuff like that, anyway she gave me the phone number of her lady who does her acupunture and i had a lengthy phone call with her last night and she specialises in fertility and i have my first session next weds afternoon, she was very reassuring that we will probably be pregnant by the end of this cycle ( we will see), as she says that going by all the information i gave her that i have a progesterone problem and she can sort that really easily so i will be seeing her twice before OV and then two to three times after OV to make sure my progesterone levels are very reased to help with the imbedding, and she is only charging me 37 pound per session hope thats good it sounded it me for round london anyway , so really excited now x

 

[deafgal01]

Good luck with that, ink... I hope she's right about getting you preggers before end of this cycle... Let us know how it works out for you!

 

[Waitin4astork]

Oh Inkd, that's great news! I bet you can't wait to get going on it now and that sounds very reasonable what she's charging you Let's hope this thread turns into a thread full of acupuncture success stories!!

 

[Toots3495]

Morning girls, How's everybody feeling today?
Ink, that price is only a couple of quid more than I'm paying so I think it's pretty reasonable. I really hope it works for you. Are you still having royal jelly as well?

Well ladies I think I'm probably out yet again. I had some brown tinged cm this morning which normally starts appearing before af. I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall with all this. I'm really not sure how much more failure I can take.

 

[inkdchick]

no hun ive run out but am on manuka 16+ honey instead til i get to Conneticut at end of april.
Toots are you having accupuncture then, coz she has assured me that it will work but if you are on it and you are getting all this like i am and i havent started yet is it worth it

 

[inkdchick]

i have had a bloody headache now for 8 days and i cant take it anymore

 

[Waitin4astork]

Oh Lou, I'm going to hold out hope for you that it might be implantation bleeding. You really, really deserve that BFP.

 

[Nat0619]

Hi Ladies

Just caught up on the thread from today

Ink, fabulous news about the acupuncture!! I paid £38 a session for mine so very similar, so yes snap it up and really hope it works for you too I truly believe I must have had some kind of hormone imbalance or something and it balanced something out for me.

Lou, so sorry you've had some spotting but I'm with Kim and hoping it could be implantation I'm not giving up on you yet!

Mama, I totally understand your concerns, I'm still like that now. Think I will be until I see on a scan.

I'm feeling a lot better about things today than I was yesterday, gave myself a talking to that just because I'm not feeling much doesn't mean there isn't a healthy little growing in there. Been thinking of my poor friend a lot today and going to give her a ring later to see how she is.
