It's been 7 weeks since mc but still not af...when to ring the GP?

[bobster]

I have one too Jane. That's so odd. Got some antibiotics yesterday and they think that's whats causing my cramping.

Have you been the the dr? They will probably give you the same as mine did, Nitrofurantoin. With mine I didn't really feel like I had a UTI I just had really bad af type cramps yesterday so went to the doctor.

Have you managed to get hold of your green notes yet? I week to go for you!

MLM your willpower is so good. What tests are you using? I think 11dpo is a good time to test. 10dpo is still very early. I'm really hopeful for you too. Anymore possible implantation feelings?

Snap bobster! I rung the GP this morning and picked the tablets up this evening, they gave me nitrofurantoin as well, got to take 4 times a day for 7 days (50mg capsules). They also sent a wee sample off for microbiology. The burning feeling isn't too bad but to be on the safe side wanted to get it sorted.

Rung to find these god damn notes and waiting on a call back, doubt anyone will ring now this evening. Yey, 1 week to go for us both. Don't think we will tell people under after we've had the NT result though at 16 week appointment, but I still want to see my bean. Can't believe you won't be asking for the sex. Could you ask oh to leave the room so you could find out?

Keep us posted Mlm

What's your fruit tomorrow? Looks like an avocado, but surely a sweet potato is bigger than an avocado?

I'm a plum and when I ate one earlier I had to laugh.

 

[mlm115]

Holy crap holy crap holy crap I'm pregnant bfp bfp bfp!!!

I'm shaking.

 

[mlm115]

Ahhh!

 

[bobster]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! Beatiful line for 10dpo congratulations xxx

 

[bobster]

I know it sounds weird but you ladies have become my friends on here and I'm just over the bloody moon for you! I think that looks like a fantastic line too for how early you are. Massive, huge congrats mlm

 

[mlm115]

Thank you!! Of course I am now petrified. Trying to breathe and relax, but stupid me took the test at work and I'm stuck here for 3 more hours ahhhh!

I feel the same way about you guys. No one understands the way you all do, and your support is unbelievably important to me.

 

[mackjess]

OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!

MLM I bet you are about to freak out. LOL, I took my first test before the mc at work as well, and I just had to leave. Have you told DH yet? This is so awesome!!!

And that line looks FANTASTIC for 10DPO. I am going to take it as a sign you have a good snuggly bean in there.

 

[GI_Jane]

Congratulations Mlm. So very happy for you, my heart lept in to my mouth when I saw your message.

Loving your pink line

 

[GI_Jane]

Hope you got plenty more of those tests to pee on....Fab line.

you won't get anymore work done today

So very happy for you.

 

[GI_Jane]

I'm so excited for you. Right, I will shut up now- time for bed

 

[mlm115]

Thank you Jane! I do have 2 more frers i will use for sure. I fully believe in the power of smep and preseed now haha

 

[bobster]

Jane Congrats on hitting 12 weeks! That's a massive milestone. Not long now till your scan. How are you feeling about it?


I'm a mango today woop!

Mlm are you going to get s digi to see the words? I did frer's every 2 days so you see good progression which I found more satisfying but did cheapie tests daily do that might be an idea? Although frer are so sensitive you might see progression daily. So happy!

Just phez now, I know it won't be long!

 

[mackjess]

With Phez having her appt coming I am feeling very good about her BFP popping up very soon!

Congrats again MLM. It's so funny how excited we all are for each other. I almost blurted out to DH that MLM got her BFP, but then I'd have to explain who that was and I'm sure it wouldn't seem as exciting. BUT I am thrilled for you. What lovely timing and how much fun it will be settling in your new place while getting ready for LO.

Jane, Congrats on 12 weeks!

Bobster, how are you feeling?

AFM -I'm good. Exhausting but fun weekend. Had my shower, and then had enough credits, cash, gift cards, etc, that I finished buying everything I needed without spending any of our money. Feeling very blessed that my little man is so loved already. I just want to buy some cubes for his room, and about 4 more newborn and 0-3 month outfits and we are good to go.

I have a scan Friday morning, and then after this appt I go from every 4 weeks to seeing the OB every 2 weeks. And it's silly, I feel the baby move all the time and listen to his HB about once a week, but I'm nervous about the scan. This would be an in and out 15 minute appt, but I am getting the scan since he's a big boy and they want to keep an eye on his growth. The way I'm carrying with my placenta up high, she can't really get good measurements from outside. If it was just a normal appt, I wouldn't be nervous at all but scans always get me on edge. I'm excited to see him, I just hope I can sleep OK the next few nights.

 

[GI_Jane]

I think it's natural to be worried about the scan, even later on- it's our only real way of knowing what's going on in there. Will they decide to deliver him early from this scan if he's too big? I remember you saying it could be a possibility before- that is worrying in itself. Sounds like you should buy 3-6 month size grows for Finn if he's big- the 0-3 might not last him too long? Mind you I guess no baby clothes last that long at the rate they grow. Have you been to any birth preparation classes?

I am excited about being 12 weeks, so much emphasis is placed on this time point in the NHS because getting this far indicates a good outcome but I still don't want to get carried away and I just want my scan now and to get the downs test out the way.

Did you test with FMU Mlm? I spent so much money on tests in the early stages. I did like the digital clearblue ones with the indicator, although I know for some women they can be worrisome. DH was more convinced when he saw it written out then my squinter of a line.

How are your cramps bobster? see on eastenders that fake pregnancy girl Kirsty has a scan next week!!

I tracked down my notes! I get them at my 12 scan- they like to keep them initially to make the referrals etc.

Otherwise, am doing ok- little bit nausea and slight stretch ligament pain (oh my god it hurt when I sneezed!).

 

[mackjess]

Yeah, he may only be in the 0-3 for a week! lol, I'm only buying a couple of each as they are not expensive.

I'm sure I'll go to term, which is 37 weeks unless I have some kind of complication. After I hit 37 they may decide if they want me to go before the 40 week due date.

We did birthing classes the last 2 Saturdays. DH was traumatized.

 

[bobster]

Hahaha mack I bet he was. I think my OH will be the same. I made him watch one born every minute (a UK based series filming in maternity wards) and he nearly passed out at just that! I think I will be comforting him during the birth rather than the other way round. Glad your shower went well. Try not to worry too much about the scan, its a great opportunity to see Finn again and it sounds like he's just fine in there if he's on the bigger side. Mummy's doing a good job keeping him big and strong.

Jane I know its a relief when you hit 12 weeks. Do you have surreal moments sometimes when you forget your pregnant? It hits me every now and then but it still hasn't properly sunk in yet I don't think. My cramps have gone today so fingers crossed the antibiotics are working and thats all it was. How's your symptoms? Did you get the GP? Stretchy pains are so normal (I hope anyway), I get them every day now. Have you got a bump now? Send a pic if you do!

Mlm have you tested again? Its perfect timing for you- new house, new baby!

How's MrsPhez? Hope you are still around, its your turn next lady!

 

[mlm115]

Today's test was darker, so that was good to see. I made my first doctors appointment- the earliest they would see me is June 18. That seems so far away! I really hope this one sticks.

Mack, that is great about your shower. Sounds like you have some very generous family and friends. Hope you scan goes well and that there is nothing to be nervous about!

Congrats on 12 weeks Jane! That is amazing. Yay! Almost time for your next scan!

Glad your meds seem to be working Bobster. Is your belly growing with that mango in there?

How is Phez doing? Feeling ok?

 

[mackjess]

Wonderful news MLM. I'm sorry they won't see you sooner, but that sounds like you'll be around 6-8 weeks by then? I guess that is when I had my first appointment too.
