hey ladies, hope you all doing well

I am getting worried as I'm not half as sick as I was a few days ago, gradually feeling better and better (just like I did around this time with my m/c at 11+5) so getting paranoid. When does a doppler start to work? would it be worth me getting one this early?

Got lots of planning to do for my day teaching tomorrow so will catch up properly tomorrow! xxx

Just trying to catch up hun and saw your post, I specifically remember going to the drop in midwife where I work at 10 wks complaining that I didn't feel as sick and felt worried that it meant something, but she reassured me and she is here today, try not to worry hun, easier said than done I know!!

Re the doppler I think the more babies you have the earlier you can detect, I think it is probably possible but would you worry more if you couldn't find it but that would just be because its too early !!

Hope you feel less worried soon, sending huge hugs xxx

Awww our lab is pregnant and she is going to have atleast 6 puppy's! She due on valentines day! So I'm gonna have a lovely romantic day because they tend to go on their due dates or one day either side!

pinkprincess - where in Dorset are you?

I'm in Bournemouth, where abouts are you? x

Shaftesbury - it takes us about 45 minutes to get to Bournemouth from here. Lavender is Dorchester way so I think we have all corners of Dorset covered

Aaaaah I'm driving myself bonkers googling mid-cycle bleeding.

I went to see the Doctor on the 3rd when I had nausea etc.pink spotting followed by really light AF and strong and dull cramps on my left side she wasn't much help but said if I had, had a positive pregnancy test she would have said my symptoms indicate an eptopic pregnancy. But as the tests I took were negative not to worry and it was most likely a chemical pregnancy if anything. But told me to come back if I was still worried. So will go and see her about the bleeding tomorrow as it's still there when I wipe and there was some in my knickers this a.m.
Should I be honest about all the supliments I'm taking and the fact I'm on a really restrictive diet? Or just see what she comes out with?

Lavender, how confusing for you! and i can understand you being worried. When did you last take a pg test and have you been taking your temps? i wander if it was a chemical or even eptopic or whether it is some kind of ov bleeding or perhaps your supps. hmmm hopefully the docs can shed some light. Did you miss your attempt this cycle as planned? you are so strong! Thinking of you.

Indigo, how are you hun? know you said a few days ago that you were worried. How are you feeling now?

Sunset, annoying about the driving test, but i expect you'll do brilliantly next time...GL!

Pinkprincess, im on cd8 today so hoping to ov a week tomorrow (23rd) or it could be a few days after that. Are you missing out this month or did you just type feb by accident? Would be great to symptom spot together though im gonna try to put it to the back of my mind til 10dpo at least and NO EARLY TESTING!!!! I think this is my last month doing o+12 but im not sure what i will do after that as i feel the diet is slipping so to bd over ov without the diet is quite scary. perhaps acigel and sudafed will be the way forward!!! What do you girls think? Sunset...you're good at this stuff!?

[deaks66]

Hi ladies, congrats to all those that are pg or have had their little ones, im ttc number 4 (after 3 boys)

DEAKS - last time i looked when ur af arrived mine was either on the same day or close, are you on cd 7? are you fully on the diet etc? im trying to stick to as much i can, taking all the vitamins +completely cut caffeine out! im a little unsure what dh is supposed to be doing - hes trying to cut down on caffeine + no orange juice etc. do you know what vitamins he should take if any?
im due to ov on feb 22- hoping quite late on the 22nd as 23rd is new moon!
Keep me up to date with how this month goes + maybe we can symptom spot together in the 2ww! x

Pinkprincess, sorry should have said WELCOME before! My dh has never done the diet but did take supps (cran, cal and LR) in 2011 but now he is just taking LR. Tested his ph last night and still 7.4 so pleased about that.

nini...where are you? missing you hun!

nini...where are you? missing you hun!

deaks, thank you for caring I first strained my back so badly that I had to take medication that knocked me out all of Friday (dh had to stay at home from work to mind the kids and household), then ds2 and dd caught a tummy bug in their little nursery that they started going to (they only went for a couple of days before they caught the bug sigh), they are on the mend now, but gosh, all the laundry and night wakings. Then we wake up this morning to a freezing house... turns out our heating is broken, luckily they can fix it tomorrow around 11ish... will have to boil water in a kettle tonight and somehow try and wash my hair. Guess they managed for generations without even a kettle.

I am also so freaked out with the diet. I read so many contradicting things that I dont know what is right anymore. Guess it matters little as long as you follow the general idea (high Cal and Mag, low salt and calories). So I tried to stay off here for a bit.

How are you, what cycle day are you on? I am happy to say that my PH has come down to 4.8. Thats a start. I dont remember what cycle day i am on, I think something like 10. I dont even start temping until around 12 as I o sooo late.
Are you back on the diet now?

Hope everyone else is well, the thread is moving so fast. Its really sunny here, hope you all get to soak some sun in today too wherever you are xx
