Oh my gosh girls thank you all so much for your lovely congratulations and best wishes. Its just like getting best wishes from old friends. I'm so glad I can finally be over here and there are still girls here I know, feels so nice . I'm really hoping Milly and Ferrrals are about to join us
hi all. I hope you all had a wonderful New Year. Congrats to all those with recent BFPs who I haven't chatted to before.
I'm still spotting - it's been 5 days now. I have a GP appt Monday and seeing the midwife tomorrow, but I'm losing hope atm. I had a couple of bloodtests on 21 & 26 DPO, which I managed to get the results for. The HCG numbers are great, but progesterone is really low. Combined with the spotting and the fact nearly all my symptoms have disappeared, I'm really not holding out much hope. I want to get another blood test on Monday and depending on what that says, might go for a scan after that. I'm not a fan of getting early scans - last time we saw a hb at 6 weeks and bub still died, so I believe more in what blood tests say.
For anyone who knows about these things, my results were:
I've had higher progesterone results on a CD21 (7DPO) test in a non-pregnancy cycle, so not hopeful, given I was 5+ weeks pregnant. I really hope I'm wrong, but also trying to get used to the idea we may lose this bub too.
tashybabe, I have no idea about the progesterone levels but the HCG looks pretty good compared to many I've seen. that everything is ok for you and bubs. Bedrest until you get to your midwife appointment. Spotting is common so maybe it's just that. My symptoms came and went at that point, they didn't settle in for another couple of weeks.
Thanks smallfry - I'm trying to be a bit more positive and stop googling low progesterone levels. Just feeling that stretching pain when I stand up makes me feel a bit better atm.
sunbeam - you were right......Congrats Milly5 and welcome!!!!! wahooo!!!!!! soooo happy for you....2 days in a row now i have logged on and got the best news ever...more of the girls in the thread. big hugs!. Come on ferrals!
tashybabe- i will be thinking of you tomorrow. stop googling. that does your head in. stay positive.

YAY I'm here!!!
Hello again to Cherished, Sunbeam, sunny, zstar, smallfry, greenslw, & twinsister who I remember all from TTCAML.
Hello to the ladies who I am just meeting now! My story - I lost Angel #1 in 2005, and then DH & started TTC again in 2008, had a BFP in Feb 09, then m/c in April 09, and been TTC ever since. Following m/c, I was found to have thryroid problems, and placed on meds, and also FS specialist wanted two cycles of clomid before moving to IVF - fortunatly for us, 1 cycle of clomid was enough!!
So, I got my BFP (@ 4 weeks) on 30/11 - very faint, not enough to convince me it was real until 2 days later. still haven't had a blood test yet (because of public hols), so next week.
I'm a bit nervous because I keep feeling these crampy twinges, which before my BFP I was convinced was AF on her way. I guess I won't settle till I get past 9 weeks at least!
(thinking sticky thoughts)
Anyway, I am excited to be here, and hope I am here for the duration this time!!
