Hello Everyone

Ducktales - massive congratulations on your beautiful arrival, what a wonderful Christmas pressie for you and your family x

Mummy - hope the little one gets better soon. Are you going to the Doctors tomorrow?

2have4kids - I'm so glad things have settled down, tomorrow will be here soon and hopefully you will get the reassurance x

How is everyone else?

I have had a few problems over Christmas. My cycles have always been really regular however on Christmas eve (CD12) I started bleeding and didn't stop until yesterday. It wasn't as heavy as a period and I had no real cramps/pain. I phoned the Early Pregnancy Unit at the hospital (where I had the MC op) and they tried to tell me I might be pregnant Finally spoke to a specialist who told me to do a test and whatever the results, ring the molar pregnancy unit at Sheffield. Test was neg, what else Molar unit said not to worry, my results are such that the mole hasn't come back.

So now I'm none the wiser. I was supposed to ring the fertility clinic on CD1 to get started which should have been around 8th Jan. I'm thinking I should ring them tomorrow and ask what they think? Maybe I need checking over again before getting started. Having never had an 'abnormal bleed' I'm a bit scared. Sometimes, I hate this crap!

That's annoying you won't be able to get started as soon as you'd like but it might only be a few weeks later.
I personally would want to be checked out 1st before I start just so you know all is ok.

I'm going to see how Nathan goes. If he hasn't got worse which he hasn't so far I'm just going to keep giving him calpol. They wouldn't give him anti bs.
I'm going to give boiled water in between feeds to help his throat as the milk can sit on the tongue and cause thrush x

 

[2have4kids]

Pinkie, I hope you can proceed as normal - sorry to hear you've had to worry about this over the holidays!
Mummy, I just read an article where a little garlic in the milk or formula helps baby's immune system. I'm always amazed when the spend money on natural remedy solutions. It came up at my OH's scientific business dinner last night and while the study probably has merit we were wondering if a baby would actually accept a bottle with garlic smell lol. We were thinking there is still a primal smell that still kicks in - why they tell new mom's not to wear perfume.
I hope he's feeling better soon!

 

[mummy.wannabe]

Not sure about that at all ha
We try and put gripe water into the last bit of their bottles and then they won't have it.
Their is fish oils in their milk and you can slightly smell that.

How you feeling 2have?
I didnt feel pregnant until I was about 14 weeks part from sickness, I didn't feel any different and I think if you read up, its proven that you shouldn't feel much different its just in our head we think anything is a sign or symptom x

We are off to next clothes shopping in Hatfield as the next is better.
Need to get out of the house x

 

[bundlesofjoy]

Happy new year ladies.xxx
How did the scan go 2h4k?

 

[2have4kids]

Hi everybody & Happy New Years! I'm wishing you all in 2014 and mummy & ducktales a lovely year of amazing memories.

I had a scan on Monday and it looks like my body bunted out an embryo last friday. There's one healthy baby in there measuring on schedule. Next heartbeat scan is Jan 10. I told my dh that as soon as I'm recovered we're flying back to Czech Republic for another go!!

 

[mummy.wannabe]

Congratulations!!!
You mean once baby is born you'll go and try have another.
Its such a shame about the twin, that would have been doubley amazing but 1 is amazing for you too x

 

[2have4kids]

Yes, before my year long maternity leave is up the plan is to fly back for another go. How is everybody's week going? We're up at the Sylvan Lake cabin with my OH's eldest bro and his 2 boys (our nephews). Playing loads of board games and walking in the waist deep snow. Thankful we have snowshoes up here!

 

[bundlesofjoy]

Hi 2h4k
So sorry o hear about the second embryo
So happy the second one is healthy and good and I see from you sig you have a due date

AFM have an ET booked for Friday

 

[2have4kids]

Ugg, having more cramping & bleeding, although it's not bright red but scary as hell. Can't things just go smoothly & normal? I really wanted to get to the gym today but it looks like I'll be lying down all day.

Is everyone back to work on Monday then? If I get cramping when I'm there, I'm going home. I haven't come this far to suffer another loss

 

[bundlesofjoy]

Oh dear yeah I would stay at home and rest. Yeah i agree with you any pain and just go home and put your feet up, it's not worth the risk

 

[2have4kids]

Hi ladies, I'm pretty sure I've just m/c'd the last embryo last night. I'm going to reschedule my Jan 10th scan to Monday to confirm but I can feel that it's gone.

 

[Pinkie 33]

I really hope not. Keeping everything crossed for your scan xx

 

[mummy.wannabe]

No carmen!!! Got everything crossed for you. I know loads of people that had a massive bleed. I can't remember the name of it though.
Can't believe you are going through this, is horrible to miscarry and I hope its not x

 

[bundlesofjoy]

I have everything crossed for you, I pray it's not a miscarriage.xxx please let us know how the scan goes today

 

[2have4kids]

Thanks ladies. Bundles I want to send you loads of for Fridays ET!
On that note, I might have dust to offer too. They just about gave me a cardiac arrest when a blob showed up on the ultrasound monitor. Yes a blob with a flickering heart inside my blob. It was all there with a healthy heartbeat of 109bpm and the blob measuring perfectly again for the dates.
I just about cried except that the technition was a prick. Anyway, I didn't care I was in a state of shock. I've lost 2 lbs since friday I'm sure half at least was in blood & clots (sorry tmi) and now my clothes fit, pants can button up, feel no more twinges. Just was sure I was done. My OH was kicking in saying it's all going to be OK, I have you and that's all that matters. YOu know when they start saying shit like that it's over and the fat lady has sung. NOPE, This one's STICKY!

Bundles, Minxy, Melbram & Pinkie, it's your turn ladies, time for you to get your bfp's, I need someone to worry with, this is just killlllllling me.

 

[Pinkie 33]

That's great news! Soooooo happy for you xx

 

[Pinkie 33]

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing ok. Bundles, keeping everything crossed for you xx

AFM, I have spoken with the clinic who have given me the go-ahead and aren't concerned about 'abnormal bleed'. AF was due on Friday so now I'm praying it arrives as soon as possible! I have really sore boobs and bad cramping, worse than normal, so just hoping everything goes back to normal.

We are booked in to sign our consents on the 17th and then it will all start happening w/c 27th assuming AF does arrive.
