PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Beth I had pink spotting at 5+2 I think. It scared me of course. I got a scan and they couldn't find a reason for it. Later I had a small blood clot probably trapped in there from implantation. If it hasn't continued, I'm sure you are ok. Dumb question but are you sure the pink came from your vagina? Perhaps it was from the BM. Just a thought. Sorry you saw any blood though. It's just scary.

Embo that is one proper bump! I hope I have a bump like that soon. Beautiful!

3x I must have missed your post about your sex drive. I'll go back and find it.

Hopeful I feel little things every now and then and think it must be the baby but I can't be sure. So exciting though.

Great news on the beta's beth, sprry you had some pink spotting. ARe you sure it wasn't from the BM? Fingers crossed it never returns.

This thread moves far to fast for me. sorry if I miss anyone

Florida happy 12 weeks what an amazing milestone.

Heart, hopeful and Daviies Happy 17weeks.

Bumpy can't wait to hear your beta's. I spotted in wk 7 on progesterone but it was an irritated cervix. SO happy your feeling calm and all is feeling good so far. yay for feeling a bit queasy too!!

Puppy - I'm sorry your still so sick

TRacie - how do I order one of those sleep thru the night babies!!!!! I'm glad she is a good girl for you and is starting to giggle, sweetest sound in the world.

amf - Can anyone not feel their fundus at 16wks, the dr checked yesterday and it was barely above my pubic bone?
I got my doppler finally yesterday, found hb straight away can't belive I put it off for so long. DH's reaction was pathetic tho still cranky with him.
I had an appt with the endo dr yesterday as their are issues with my thyroid which have to be monitored. I also have my first midwife appt tomorrow, Maybe I'll stop feeling so lonely and lost in all this.

So happy to hear all the good stories in here and watching everyone grow!

Ok I definitely missed your post 3x. I've had 4 "sleepgasms"'with this pregnancy. I've never had anything like it! They wake me up and I am amazed that my brain could do that. Then I get freaked out that it hurt the baby. And I also get a little cramping in my uterus which is normal after an orgasm. I guess my brain misses orgasms and it finding a time when I won't stop it from happening. Apparently they are very normal in pregnancy. My sex drive isn't what it used to be. I don't know if it's my age or the fact that I've been with my husband so long. In my 20's he and I couldn't keep our hands off of each other. He's still the same way but I don't feel quite the same. I also think it might be that I equate sex with TTC and losses. It's hard for me to get out of my brain sometimes.*

I did read that orgasms are good for the baby. They experience the same "feel good" hormones that we do. I'll try to find that article.*

Just, I've not felt my fundus. I'm not sure where it is. I wouldn't worry if I were you. I think an ultrasound is a better way to measure where it is. Happy 16 weeks!

LoL! there was a couple of other ladies asked me the same thing... and yes TMI-I have had that before, and this time it was absolutely from the vag area...seems to be okay now though... I had some lower back cramps...after that... so I really was worried... but I have calmed myself down a bit, and I am trying to look foreward to the US, with positive thoughts.

 

[heart tree]

I know, people asked me the same thing but I knew where the spotting came from. I still had to throw it out there for you just in case! LOL! Glad it stopped for you. I also had some lower back cramps with my spotting. My doctor reminded me that blood is an irritant so if you have a little, it may irritate another area like the lower back. You sound pretty calm right now. All you can do is try to stay as calm as possible and take it really easy. No sex, heavy lifting or exercise. Just be as lazy as possible if you can!

oh and happy 16 weeks embo!

sorry to make this an all about me post but ive just had some good news and had to share with you! my doc phoned and i wasnt expected to speak to her until tomorrow afternoon to discuss my blood results (had second set this morning) she said first lot were in and are spot on for 6 weeks pregnant (so thats a few days earlier than i thought as the blood was taken on monday and im 6 weeks tomorrow or friday), she didnt tell me the number though. but she has also arranged an early scan at the fertility clinic for me!
im really happy its here as bad memories for me at the EPU but im just so grateful im getting a scan now! not sure when, i have to wait for them to contact me but right now im SUPER happy! oh and she also said if something goes wrong with this one i should be able to stay under them and have extra consultative care moving forwards. The funny thing is the consultant i will be seeing is the SAME one i paid privately to see last year!!!!! so happy

happy wednesday everyone!!

 

[hopeful23456]

awesome bump embo!

bumpy - so happy for the good news!

davies- how much does willow weigh? I was thinking about her this morning (isn't that strange? I think everyone here alot) as i have 2 jack russels and couldn't imagine having a huge dog but you are so lucky she is lazy, my dogs have alot of energy but love to cuddle when they are tired.

 

[heart tree]

Bumpy that is awesome news!!! If the doc is saying you are spot on for 6 weeks, that means you have enough hcg to get a scan immediately. I hope they schedule you very soon. How great that you'll have the consultant you paid privately for! All very good news!!!

 

[bumpyplease]

thanks hearty! i dont even mind if the scan is not for a week or so as the later it will be the more i get to see, im just so greatful i dont have to wait until 12 weeks now.

still taking every day a step at a time, but keeping as much PMA as possible!

how are you today? feeling better?

 

[filipenko32]

Bumpy that is fantastic!!!!!!!!! you can't ask for more than that today!

oh and happy 16 weeks embo!

Thanks fili sweetie!!

hows you? any sign of the witch yet? xx

 

[filipenko32]

No witch but then it's only been 3 weeks since erpc so i have to be patient!

 

[heart tree]

I'm feeling much better. Just a little stuffy nose but not bad. Thanks.

Fili, it's so frustrating to wait for AF. But it has only been 3 weeks, you're right. Hope you are doing ok.

 

[Pretty Please]

Bumpy - that's great news !!! Bet u r delighted and free too always a bonus !!!

Afternoon girlies !!!! How is everyone today?

We have a problem with our post as we live in a flat and I decided to ring the anti Nat team and I have an appointment which is sat ( that's rubbish as my mum is here and knows nothing) so uk girls as I have completely forgot - what exactly happens on first appointment with mw ? It's just history and bloods? Is it important that bloods are done at 11 weeks or not ? Maybe Ill try to move it after scan as no point wasting one hour if scan isn't perfect

 

[Neversaynever]

Pretty...I went to Vegas my first MW appointment was just filling in the gren notes...was told they had to be done before the dating scan as they needed to fill in parts then too.

Bumpy...fab news hun

Em...will have to look at pics when I am home or on phone

Tracie...wow at your little diva's sleep schedule
