coral Yes I left a message, that place is horriblee. Last time I left a message for the bleeding and they never got back to me! Its pretty bad when thats the number they give to all the pregnant ladies for questions, concerns, problems, etc, and then nobody freaking answers gosh what if it were an emergency and the person didn't know it so they were calling in! Makes me very angry!

lew i love your bump! and your kitty aww

Husband just got back from drs appointment, he had a colonoscopy a couple weeks ago and this was follow up/results. Dr thinks he has crohn's disease. It sounds scaryy, it seems like nobody knows much about it including the doctors. I guess he has to take pills everyday for about a year and then hes getting another colonoscopy to check up on it next January. How STRESSFUL ahh.

jenny i agree with the others, 11dpo is early even though it seems like everyone sees bfps at like 8dpo lol. My 11dpo was the first day of bfp and it was FAINT!

Hopes- the fiancee of a friend of mine has chrohn's disease and he has had it for a while...Dr. Tink will correct me if I am wrong- but I think he will need to monitor the type of foods he eats and take medicine and he should be ok....
Tink??
Its always scary to find out you have something wrong with you, but being informed and asking lots of questions is always comforting.



Oh and Hopes- are you watching the Superbowl? WE are having a big shindig at our house this weekend- I assume you would root for the Steelers? And Puxantany Phil predicted an early spring- yay!

Hi all xxx
back from dmw, was bloody there hours boo! it appears i may be hypothyroid, which after trawling the net has scared me a bit. App my not sleeping, feeling super cold and having mini diabetic hypos and a few other symptons, have been all adding up to this. Ended up being seen by midwife, dietician, registrar and professor today. have had bloods drawn, so am waiting for results now. The prof was concerned enough for to be monitored. Has shook me up a bit and taken the wind out of my sails. buggery bollocks is all i can say xx

 

[LEW32]

Aww Pheebs- so sorry to hear your tests came back like this....please take care of yourself and and
At least they are monitoring you closely...that is a good!

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Awwwwwww blooming heck

Hopes, hope you get to speak to doc honey. Keep drinking, and try and have a little nibble every so often x

Phoebe, don't panic honey. Sounds like they have made a right scene today, not fair to get you scarred like that. If you have a hypoactive thyriod they can treat it, and you'll be just fine. I'm not over convinced myself. It is cold, you have diabetes, you will put on weight when pregnant, feel tired, not be able to sleep... Yes ok you do have the symptoms BUT you are pregnant. FX everything is fine, try not to worry honey xxxxxxxx

Hopes yes DH will need to alter his diet and take medication. Its very important he pays very special attention to the diet aspect, as if he doesn't he could become unwell quite rapidly and need a lot more intervention. I have seen some mild cases and some awful cases. The mild cases are usually seen in people who pay careful attention to to advice, and the worse cases have usually just came from Mc Donalds x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Awwwww you have a lovely little bump coming along there Lew! x

Babydream, sorry one of the results was abnormal, but at least your getting somewhere now. FX for everything to be fine, or treatable I dunno about the OPK's, I personally never got a positive on an cheapy stick and just went with the darkest. I obviously ovulated x

 

[coral11680]

Hopes did the doc get back to you yet? Like tink said drink plenty and try to snack.
Sorry to hear about dh hopefully he will be able to keep the condition under control.

Phoebe sorry you are worried hun. Try not to panic as you don't know the results yet and tink said it's controllable. X

 

[caz & bob]

girls hope yr all ok well af is heavy today and i went the gym x x x x

 

[ladybeautiful]

Hiya!

Cute bumps, Tink, MC Coral & Lew! LOL Tink you're certainly blooming I'd been meaning to take pics every week too but been lazy. Plus I have a BIG bum and flabby stomach anyway so won't make for the best pics I've only just started putting on weight but already I can see it's going directly to my derriere and hips n thighs... sighhhhh

I have my doc appt tmrw... gonna ask again about testing my thyroid and also when to do the quad screening. Oh btw I LOVE my doppler!!!

hopes - take care girlie. I've had an awful appetite too since week 6 and doc pushed zofran on me which after a lot of hesitation i started taking quite regularly to be able to keep foods and liquids down. I'm still throwing up every other day or so and appetite is nowhere near the other gals on here, but it's getting better I guess... hang in there and I'm sure you'll do what you need to do to make sure you and LO are okay
Sorry about possible diagnosis for OH. Good thing you can now monitor closely and follow treatment/control plan.

Amy - hope you ov soon! How frustrating! I never went by pee sticks alone though cos I never got a full positive. Does the monitor work the same way as the OPKs? I dunno... either way good luck and keep shagging!

babyd - hope you find out more about what's not okay wiht your levels and that it can be fixed easily. Let us know...

Pops - do you feel like you might indeed have OV? hahahah

Damita - good luck for next attempt on driving test! I get very nervous about driving and even more so about tests, so my driving test was a nightmare as you can imagine!

Phoebs - did the DMW get the hypothyroid from your blood levels? Either way, you got a whole team of experts inlcuding Dr. tink on hand to guide you, you'll be okay

Hi loveybear, hopefulus, and caz! And anybody else i've missed. Hope you're all doing well!

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Hi LadyB! :wave: glad your enjoying the doppler!

As far as I could work out from Phoebe's post she has had blood drawn today to test thyriod function, and they were going on her symptoms. If I'm wrong then I've worded my post all wrong. x

 

[coral11680]

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Yes Phoebe and Ding dong bubba will be just fine Lady B. Hope she comes back on for the reassurance, she sounded quite panicked yesterday. Hope your not too worried Phoebe, I'm a high risk pregnancy also Phoebe, might just mean a few more scans and monitoring honey but they will take good care of us xxxxxxxx

Welll Morning honeypots!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got to go to Primark for camping clothes today, I love camping Its our winter cub camp and we are going to Downe in Kent for the weekend. Me n DH are camp cooks, which suits my illness and pregnancy, I can't keep up with the activity's any-more I'm particularly looking forward to this camp because the last camp was miserable for me. I was having a bad relapse of my illness and was in a wheelchair Very embarrassing it was. I might be shattered and fat now, but I'm a mile better than I was then so x

How is everyone today? x
