UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

Hi all,
So sorry my lovely ladies on here are suffering with morning sickness, spotting and illness, hope everyone starts to improve soon. Charlie, frustrating to have to wait till next week for an early scan but glad dh helping you out so you can take it a bit easier?
Pinga, have you had your scan? hope all well.
Littlemiss, so sorry for bfp this morning, i was feeling so hopeful for you. FX for tomorrow!!
Indigo, are you feeling any better today? hope the antibiotics have started to kick in?
AFM, the bleeding has nearly stopped but still getting cramps and quite high up in my abdomen too. Spoke to a friend this morning who miscarried at 5 weeks and she had the same and her doctor told her it was the uterus contracting to make sure everything is removed. Makes me feel a little better. Don't know if any of you have seen my post about my temps being high still. Surely if i had low progesterone this wouldn't be the case which makes me think it cant have been a progesterone issue? what else can cause a short LP? of course it could just not have meant to be especially with the horrendous back pains i had last week.

thinking of you pinga and charlie!!! FX crossed for sticky beans

Wanted to get the SMOG ladies opinions on something I posted:
Just met with my gastroenterologist for my regular check up. It is time for a colonscopy (I have crohns). I told him I was going to try to concieve this month (Should O week of Nov. 21st). I could wait till after I give birth, but I am wondering if doing the procedure might help sway PINK. I would have to be put under with propofol (anesthetic) and to prepare for the procedure I would need to take 10 oz. of citrate of magnesia, 238 grams of miralax mixed with crystal light, and 4 dulcolax laxatives. The entire day before you cannot eat.
I know anesthetic sways pink but what about the stuff I have to take to prepare. I can do the procedure next week or the week after (which would be the week before my attempt. Thoughts?? I think the citrate of magnesia is all salt. Atomics opinion was that salt doesnt sway so heavily and actually excessive salt sways PINK. And the rapid weight loss from fasting, the anesthesia would help my cause.
I can delay with NO consequence to my health. What does everyone think?

Sorry H&G, im not really very in the know about this stuff but i think if atomic reckons it would be ok then to go with her advice :)

LMW sorry for no BFP this a.m

Charlie glad to hear that you've had a scan arranged i hope you can maybe get an earlier appointment. But If not hopefully the week will fly by!

Deaks you sound really positive not really sure about temps though or short LP's.

Stripped my maclaren and put it in the washing machine because it was frankly a bit gross and sticky from icecreams in the summer and full of crumbs! So much nicer having a clean push chair! And now smells like washing powder which is one of my all time favourite smells:D

Just watching land girls before I have to go and pick up ds2 I so should have lived in that era!

Sunset my cold have pretty much gone now thanks. Think the diet and cold combo made me feel worse! I would have thought my immune system would have had a bit of a boost with the daily vit c though.

Littlemiss- sorry about the BFN, they truly suck. Just gutting. Still not out though so there's still hope. KMFX

charlie- so sweet of your dh. You must be some fit chick with all that walking, seriously swaying girl! such a shame you have to wait so long for the scan, hopefully a cancellation comes up.

Babymad- hope you are feeling better today, it is such a horrible feeling even though you know it is 'good' to feel that bad. ((hugs))

Deaks - weird your temps are still up have you got a BFN yet?? Hope you are ok x huge hugs x

Littlemiss - so sorry for your BFN dont give up just yet x x

Indigo - are you attempting this month?

kell - i love washing my pushchairs and them being all clean well for a while!!

HAHA yes i probably am fitter than i have ever been - well since i moved here which is 3 years ago - i walk everywhere except fridays when i have the car but that means food shop lol

Littlemiss, your temps still are above the coverline, which is good, hopefully you'll get a couple of raises and you'll get your bfp in a few days! FX hun :)

Does everyone have their girl name picked out?
My MIL asked me what i'd call a girl the other day as her BF son's expecting another girl and they were stuck on names.

All the names i've liked in the past when pregnant with DS1 and Ds2 are really popular now. And we know pretty much one of each. They were;

Arianna
Amelia
Amelie
Ava
Evie
Freya
Isabella
Ruby
Mia

I really don't know where i'd start with a name if I actually had a girl. I have a boys name picked out already though! I would like to go for slightly more unusual name. Although I do love classic/granny names too like Ava!

when i start to think of girl names i subconsciously stop myself from thinking as i think i will never have my dream so whats the point of thinking about it.

i do like the name freya and i like it pronounced as Free-a, Evie, Yasmin & love Lola May.

i do think its much easier for choosing for boys and have got one chosen, sort of. (i always change my mind)

i never really tell anybody what names i 'like' as i wouldnt want them to pinch them so if i was you, i would keep it to yourself instead of telling you MIL
