Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[Laubull]

Manny I hope the spotting means nothing and your bean is ok. Big hugs. X

Manny

my fingers are crossed for you, but to let you know I passed out and had bad tummy pains for 24hours on and off and also some spotting that turned into a small bleed which lasted about 8hours and you saw what my scan showed yesturday!!!

My fingers are crossed you and little bean will be fine, also my boobs have been going from sore to fine every few days so I wouldnt look too much into that symptom as its one that usually comes and goes for many women...

Contact your GP and or midwife and see what they suggest, they should get you in for a scan to reassure you so you can see whats going on..

Good luck and keep us posted honey, xxxxx

Got my beta back from yesterday evening and it was 164 so more than tripled in 48 hours. Although the blood test was before the spotting so not sure what happened after that. However the spotting only lasted a couple of hours and hasn't been back since last night. Does anyone know if you can have implantation spotting a few days after a bfp?

There isn't much I can do about it so just going to sit tight and wait for my appointment in two weeks. Got another digital which I will do tomorrow or Saturday to see if it has gone up to 2 - 3 weeks.

Thanks for the wishes everyone. xx

Mannymoo - it's a good sign that you've stopped spotting. If you are worried about waiting, ask your doctor for a few more blood tests to check your hcg. Hoping it's just normal spotting for you.

Back from the scan. They could see a sac and a yolk, but too early to see anything else yet. They are booking me in for another scan in 2 weeks time. But the good news is that it's growing in the right place and all looks fine for this stage in pregnancy.

 

[mannymoo]

Khloee - thats great news! Did they mention anything about the progesterone or about retesting it again?

 

[Khloeee]

I just saw the sonographer today so they don't deal with hcg/progesterone levels, etc. But the EPU did tell me last week (when I had my hcg tests) that they have a rule that they don't test again for progesterone if you've already had it tested within 4 weeks, so I won't get a retest.

I think it's OK though, I mean, it's still sustaining the pregnancy so even though it was very low at 7DPO, it must be enough. A scan in two weeks will probably show far more than a progesterone test would at that stage. Keeping my fingers crossed!

 

[garfie]

Khloee - I'm sure you will be fine hun great news on the scan little one is growing nicely

Mannymoo - Glad your spotting has stopped hun and here's hoping your digital says 2-3 weeks (or more) on Saturday, but remember hun they are known for not being accurate with HCG measurement

Pop Tart - So pleased hun that it was great news - no scrap that EXCELLENT news I bet you have had the best nights sleep ever

Babee - So pleased to hear your pregnancy is progressing nicely yay for reaching a milestone

Elaine - Hi hope you are okay - we also BD straight after the witch left - makes you feel you are back in control again

AFM - CD 8 and nothing to report - boobs are still sore, have read to much coffee can do that busy with my Avon got to pick up some of my brochures tomorrow (let's hope they have some big fat juicy orders in them)

Laubull/Cheryl - Hi hope you ladies are okay today

PopTart- congratulations on your lovely news. So very happy for you and your husband.

Manny- hope you have no further spotting and that everything turns out to be ok.

AFM, I have been missing for a while as I became very unwell and dehydrated from my nausea and vomiting and had to be admitted to hospital for IV fluids and anti-sickness drugs. I had 2l of fluids before I even passed any urine! They kept me in for 48 hrs, until all the ketones were gone from my urine, and I am now home on oral cyclizine. It seems to be preventing me from actually being sick, but the terrible nausea is ever present. I am very worried that now that I'm home, I'll just end up right back at square one, but just going to have to take it a sip of water at a time!

 

[garfie]

Lou - Aw hun hope you are feeling better soon - is cooled boiled hot water not easier on your stomach rather than cold water?

[mannymoo]

Lou you poor thing! Hoping that the morning sickness subsides when you get into second trimester (not long now)!! xx

 

[thethomsons]

Lou- so sorry you ended up in hospital, glad you are home now, try to rest up and keep sipping the water!

Garfie u are so right about the feeling in control again by BD WITH hubby that's how I feel today, like back in the game lol. Feeling more positive too! Cd 6 today so not far from u? When do u Ov?

Manny how are things- hoping spotting still gone.

Khloee great news on scan!! Another one in 2 weeks which won't be long.

Pop tart - u still on cloud nine??

Babee- fab passing painful milestone!

Everyone else hope you are ok!

I got call from hospital today to say my thyroid test came back all clear which is a good start. Still got a while to wait for other results but things looking up! X

 

[garfie]

Elaine - CD8 for me as for O not got a clue - last month CBFM detected a PEAK but FF never gave me any cross hairs was meant to go for CD3 blood test but it fell on a Saturday May still go for my 7DPO blood test if I get a clear temp raise

We are now both back in the driving seat all the way to a BFP

[Lou15]

Garfie and Elaine, fingers crossed for you both that this is your month xx

Well, I've been home from hospital less than 2 hrs and just vomited loads, couldn't even make it to the bathroom- and all I was doing was lying on the sofa with a duvet over me! Must have been 500ml of fluid in there easy; I could just cry at the thought of trying to drink that down all over again. Seems the cyclizine isn't working after all....although I was suspicious it was just the fluids and lying in bed all day resting that were making me feel better anyway. Feeling a bit desperate now.

 

[mannymoo]

Lou hun how are you feeling today? Hope you're able to keep something down. xx

 

[garfie]

Lou - Hope you are feeling better today hun and taking it easy

[Lou15]

Thanks ladies! DH brought me some breakfast in bed- branflakes- which I managed to eat and then stayed in bed for about an hour in the hope that they would stay down- and so far they have, which is great! Am just worried now with the weekend coming in case I get really bad again. I think if I'm sick again before lunchtime, then I will phone either the ward that I was on or my GP and see if we can add in something else to my medications. A lot of people, including my brother (who is a Dr) have recommended ondansetron. My consultant said he was reluctant to use it as it does not have such well established safety records as cyclizine, but I really don't think the cyclizine is working very well at all.

manny, how are you? Any further spotting or does everything seem ok at the moment? Incidentally, I think that with this pregnancy I only really had sore boobs for the first few days after my BFP, and then that disappeared, so I wouldn't read too much into that side of things x

 

[PopTart28]

Hi ladies

Lou what a time your having too honey.....Im glad you have kept something down today so far, my fingers are crossed for you.

I can only manage food or snacks in very small palm of hand size portions every hour or so which sometimes still comes back up but im still trying.

I have lost weight and can fir into my smaller jeans except i cant do up the zip ;-) so sticking with the usual size also zip undone and long tops to cover it as i still cant stand anything on my tummy as it makes the sickness worse if thats possible.

Right time to get bits sorted as me and the woofs are off to some friends for the next few days while DH is away and as they know for moral support I can relax and enjoy the weekend with them rather that worry about hiding my growing tummy.....

Not long then we are teling family and close friends and it will be easier to relax and enjoy after that.

So i hope you are al doing ok and just wanted to say have a lovely weekend and I'll see you all in a few days, if the connection lets me ill check in when i can, xxx

Sending hugs and baby dust, look after yourself ladies, xxxxx

 

[Lou15]

Hope you have a lovely weekend away with the dogs PopTart! I am in my very smallest jeans now- never thought that would happen when I was pregnant!

How is everyone else this morning? Any symptoms manny?

I only vomited once yesterday although still felt awful all day- am hoping today will be better though as feeling quite chirpy at the moment! xx

 

[mannymoo]

Lou you must have a little girl on board if you're feeling so I'll. Glad today is a bit better. Pop enjoy your weekend away! Hope everyone else is doing well. Elaine and garfie, keep up with the BDing!!

From my side - nothing new. Only real symptoms are tender boobs and extreme exhaustion. Have had 2 naps today. At least Monday is a bank holiday for us so I'm planning even more naps. Did I tell you all that my digi yesterday was 2-3 weeks and I was 2+1 after Ov so that was good.

Happy weekend to you all. Xx

 

[Lou15]

That's fantastic news about your digi result manny! And the need to nap twice in one day is a very good sign too!

Yes we are thinking girl...although have told DH that if this does turn out to be a boy and I am this unwell I'm afraid it will have to be an only child as wouldn't want to risk being even worse next time! I have just managed to eat (and actually enjoy) a big bowl of lovely salad so am feeling very pleased with myself and hoping this is a turning point for me! Think the cyclizine must finally be kicking in!
