ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[sarahincanada]

funnily enough part of the reason i stopped posting was because i felt like whenever i did pop in here i just talked about myself and never commented on anyone else's news! I felt like you'd all think i was totally self-centred! Will try pop in a bit more, even if it's just to say hi.

awww thats ok, sometimes I feel like I drone on about my polyp but I dont really have anything else to talk about

I would prefer you dont read the posts and just come on and post and give us an update here and there.

Im sure the rest of us will be getting our bfps this year, not sure when, but it will happen. take care of yourself and look after yourself

Well...spotting is weird. People say yes, it can be normal...but IDK. Its so scant but there often ya know? It will sometimes go almost a day without, then bam, some brown discharge. I did have a breakdown monday and called in to work and just felt really low about it, but that didn't do me any good. Yesterday I talked with my doctor who assured me it could be ok because he saw nothing on my ultrasound that seemed bad. He also asked though if this is how my last MC started and I said yes pretty much. There really isn't any more that can be done so it is all up to my gummy bear if it's ready for this or not. Makes me sad to think it may not be, but I sure am doing all I can to keep it in there. Doc said if im still spotting thursday I can call and try to make another ultrasound appointment for this week yet. I am thinking I will be, but if im not by some graces of god, I will probably say that I am so I can have a peek anyways. He has now told me to double my progesterone that im taking so I do know that even if spotting stops, something bad could have happened in there and the progesterone may be hiding it. So i'd love to take a peek. Phew. That was long winded!

yes you might as well go take a peak. the trouble is the previous miscarriage is making you think the worst of this spotting. I think its natural that you will end up worrying the whole first tri, but I hope everytime you see a normal ultrasound it gives you a little peace

I hope so. I keep thinking of it today. Its a different nervous because going for my first Ultrasound I didn't think there would be anything. Now i've seen a heartbeat and fear that I've lost it and thats a whole new type of nervous! I may even feel a little better after this ultrasound if it shows progression and a heart beat still. Then 2 ultrasounds later, i may relax a tad and hope that nothing bad happens on our trip next week!

Ny, sadly i have to say ive been neurrotic all evening because i went shopping with mum and went to the loo and when i wiped, i got brown discharge as well. i was shocked and was so upset this entire evening, i was so hormonal, that i was about to cry at the mcdonalds counter because they didnt get my order right.

ive become so emotional and im so worried because ive been ttcing so long and now from yellow discharge yesterday, its gone to brown and im just 5 weeks today..

its not enough to come on my underwear, just a small spot, but it was brown when i wiped and that worried me so much and im still worried, just want this pregnancy to be normal as i cannot cope if anything goes wrong.

its like one minute you really wish you were pregnant and now i am and then its a whole set of different worries. infact i feel worse now.

wow, there was a few pages to catch up on there!!! to huggles! We do still want to hear from you and how you are going, truely!!!

Baby; I have the yellow CM too!!! Not always, but I've had it a fair few times now and some times it's REALLY yellow, other times only a very pale yellow... It's all good signs!

I did feel like it was a bit of a dream for a while though. I think because we find out soooo early too, there's no real symptoms for (what seems like) so long! And don't forget that even morning sickness doesn't hit everyone, and having NO morning sickness is as normal as HAVING morning sickness!!! So don't stress about if you're not feeling nauseous or not too, k? You ARE pregnant. The baby IS growing. You cannot do anything about it if it isn't, but if you stress about it tooooo much it might be making it harder on it. THERE IS NOTHING MORE YOU CAN DO; ENJOY IT! hehehe. Easier said than done, I know! But try... Enjoy the life growing in you; NO ONE ELSE in the whole world could have conceived that little baby and be growing it, but YOU are! If it doesn't grow, it wasn't meant to. More than likely though, it will grow and groooooow!!!


AFM I'm pissed off at my DH right now. We specifically went out on tuesday and bought some snacks for me to be able to nibble on all day long. We bought two boxes of crackers, and two boxes of muesli bars. Today is thursday and I go into the cupboard to grab some of the bars and crackers to take to work.... there is ONE muesli bar left, and 4 crackers. wtf?? DH has eaten everything else!!! I only HAD two bars yesterday and some crackers last night!!! Grrrr.

I have a ton of apples, but it's harder to eat apples while grooming dogs! lol. Much easier to snack on dry food. *sigh* but it looks like it'll be an apple day for me!

 

[MummyCat]

Happy Birthday honey i hope your body behaves and this baby sticks!

to NDH and Huggles

Hope everyone is ok

 

[nypage1981]

Thank you mummy- I hope you body does the same!

Baby- im sorry you have the brown. How strange for us both to go through the same. It is very scary. I have been through soooo many emotions and ups and downs. Sometimes im ok and positive and others I just want it all to be over with. It is tough to see. Are you planning a doctor's visit soon? Maybe it will just go away for you. I hope so. Hugs.

Flying- make sure to tell DH just how you feel Hahahaha. Mine says im crazy psycho right now. Maybe, but I blame the progesterone im taking! I even read about how insane it can make women. Its hormone therapy pretty much so i've got an excuse! Apples sound awesome but I hate biting into them, and I hate cutting them. SO, guess im too lazy for apples. Lol.

 

[MummyCat]

Baby sorry for the discharge...hope it stops

Flyingduster I would hide the next snacks you purchase the bugger... he should owe you chocolate for that one!!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Happy Birthday NY !! Im so sorry i didnt recognize it until i read the posts again.. hope you have a lovely day ahead of you. xx

i know its a bit weird but the more i read about it, they do say its normal but cant help worrying..

Thanks Flying for all that emotional support, i know the yellow discharge is called leukorrhea and comes with progesterone release in the body, but cant very much explain the brown. im at a bit of ease considering its not constant spotting, was just at one instance when i wiped and one spot on my knickers but nothing more. not accompanied by cramps which makes me feel so much better.

the doc i visited two days ago was so mad at me, she basically said in a loud voice that i was neurotic and i was goin to make my baby one if i didnt stop worrying so much. she dosent know about the brown discharge. just because i asked her if they did a hcg check with my blood work, she said.. well have you been bleeding in order for me to do so ?? she made me feel ridiculous !
Ny , i dont have another doc appointment until my 8 week HB scan at the american hospital, first time, new doc, new hosp.

hope you feel better today,

 

[babyhopes2323]

Oh flying.. hahaha ask your DH if hes preggo ! sometimes i do this with DH . he eats like me at times and behaves like he is preggo !!

get more snackies in and keep your secret stash..

 

[nypage1981]

Baby- what does that mean, the american hospital? Is there a reason for there being an american hospital in Dubai? Confusing! Yea, if no spotting I wouldnt worry too much. Just hope you dont become afraid of going #2 like me! Im always afraid that it will make me bleed so its becoming an issue in itself~~

 

[babyhopes2323]

Ny, by american hospital, i meant its called the american hospital.. its a well knows one with good reputation. theres no reason. theres a canadian hospital as well ! all private hospitals.

i am totally afriad of going number 2 as i am totally afraid that it would cause more discharge / bleed if any nonexistent at the moment !! ooh nightmare

thats MEN for you! my hubby always does that too, like I will buy milk and then go to have cereal or something and theres no milk left. he will drink it and not think of telling me or replacing it. when Im pregnant I will have to tell him to sign a contract to not do that!!! bet your hubby will feel bad when you tell him!

 

[sarahincanada]

OMG how rude!!!!
although can you imagine, these doctors must get constact calls and visits from women in their first tri worrying. but if they are going to be impatient perhaps they shouldnt be a doctor

the photo is small but you look absolutely BEAUTIFUL in your profile pic, yay I love it!

I cant wait for you girls to add bump pics

 

[flyingduster]

haha yeah I've bought some more snacks on the way to work and will keep these snacks AT work where he can't eat them all!!! lmao. And yes, I sent him a txt this morning when I found the cupboards basically empty, though he won't get it until he finishes work, he finishes before I do! He doesn't normally snack heaps either, so I didn't even THINK he'd just eat everything in 2 days! But obviously he gets hungry before I get home from work...? *sigh*


And baby, I wiped brown on sunday too. Quite a bit of it, but it was very brown and some sorta EWCM mixed in too (TMI, sorry!) but with no cramps and only one teeeeeeeny tiiinnny spot another day or so later (again, only when I wiped) I have decided not to worry. I've been reading on here of SOOOO many women who get some brown spotting for a few days with NO problems. It seems the real problem is only if the spotting keeps going for ages (a week or more?) or if it's red, or if it's accompanied with strong cramping. The odd bit of brown? Nothing to worry about. Brown is OLD blood, it could have been sitting in there since implantation! It could just be the egg nestling in more. It's NOT fresh blood, it is old stuff that has aged before it even came down, it usually isn't anything to worry about, ESPECIALLY if it's just a once off like yours and mine was.

 

[babyhopes2323]

thanks sarah i put it on because you wanted to see evryone with their DH. i uploaded it because it was a close one, but thats the size it came on to avatar.

yea she was trying to stop me being neurotic by raising her voice and she actually managed to stop me at that point. by the time we get bumps sarah, youll be with us big time alreaady, probably just a month behind or so !! FX'D.. so nothing you will be missing out on because you will be a part of it urself !

Thanks for the reassurance flying, youre long gone ahead and if youre experiencing the same thing then it gives me relief. i was more worried because i am only 5wks and got a L.O.N.G way to go yet to 12 !

 

[flyingduster]

lol, and AS I was posting there were more posts coming in! We must be all online at the same time!!! haha. What time is it over there?? I'ts nearly 9am thursday here, I'm at work waiting for the bath water to heat up so i can start grooming my first client. lol

Im hoping that all this spotting is exactly that. perhaps some people get more as their bean snuggled in nice and tightly. but I know NY said her miscarriage started that way so I can see how people worry. I just cant wait for you all to be in 2nd tri

 

[sarahincanada]

its 3pm wednesday here and I should be working but on here!

man my ticker says 3dpo, I thought I was at least a week! how s-l-o-w! oh well, I fly to england on tuesday so will be busy over there, then when I get back is my op. so just have to get through this week
