Only close family. Parents, my nan and sister. Mainly because they were at ours for christmas and I was so sickly it was obvious so they would find out. But no one else yet as it's not been an easy ride. We had bright red bleeding at 7 weeks and had to have a scan. Ruddy mad seeing the heartbeat so early! Scared me to death. I bleed after too but not scanned since so i'm scared for next week to make sure all is ok. It might not be who knows.

It's normal to worry and be scared, I'm sure you will be fine though

Yea I recon we will to I also have heart shaped uterus. This is not the normal pear shape. The middle of the heart dips down into the uterus taking up space. This can cause big problems from lack of space for baby to grow meaning they cant turn round so will most likely breech ending in ceasarean. That is if we are lucky enough to go full term as in one side of the heart if near the top it has restricted growth and that part of the uterus may only expand so far resulting in premature delivery. But all that said the other end of the scale is difficulty getting pregnant/infertility and higher chance of miscarriage! So goes to show my perfect period chart meant nothing. Maybe why it took us a tad longer not that 5-6 months is a long time when they say up to 12. But it may have contributed a bit. So early days a lot can go wrong. So longs we hit 24+ weeks then babe has a higher chance of surviving. I am hoping at the scan they can tell me the extent of this heart shapped uterus if its only down a bit and not a long way then chances are as baby grows it will push the top up and we could be ok. So worrying times and roll on next week to get it over with.I am going to harrass them lol. I didnt even know about this until that 7 week scan when she said oh you have a funny shaped uterus. I should have asked more then but I was too worried about the bleeding bit. It wasn't til I hit google ... Any ways enough taking over! Hope to see you all soon on the other side!

Evening all you early testers - I must admit I don't really understand it, as I really wouldn't like getting a BFN! I don't think I can face OBEM, after the Panorama special on Adoption I can't face more TV emotion!

I have had a long frustrating evening looking for Tax documents. I have been sorting years of paperwork, and I can't find the right UTC (or whatever!) on any document. Plus some work I have to do via the companies house website isn't working. I'm already getting a fine for posting late... so I had hoped to get through it tonight. Tiring and frustrating to get nowhere. At least I have a list of people to try and call tomorrow to get all the various codes and passwords blah blah to try again on the weekend. sigh... I should have gone to bed early.

But - today is 1 week from the weigh in, so I am updating my signature. Pretty pleased with a good first week.

Rebekah, I have a pronouced bicornuate uterus too. Didn't cause any problems for me in pregnancy and wasn't said to be implicated in either miscarriage either. Though 2 of my 3 were breach, so that may have been why I guess. I did have real problems conceiving too but although they knew I had it they never said it was a factor in this either - just the PCOS, fibroid and hubby's little men!

I also have a severely retroverted uterus - clearly just abnormal all round down there

My SIL has a heart shaped uterus too. She only found out when she had our niece - so I guess any of us could have it. Only problem she had, was that because she went to full term and baby was a nice normal size and also and probably more importantly; long, she got a bit squashed, and when she came out she had a tiny little problem with her heels because shed sort of been cramped up ( it wasnt like she couldnt grow properly or anything) - but after doing some simple exercises once she was born for a couple of months I think? to sort of stretch and exercise them out, shes perfectly fine.

So try not to worry. My SIL isnt going to have any more kids - partly because of the uterus problem, but really mainly because she has some other issue, which I totally forget now, something to do with cysts and bleeding, and tissue and goodness knows what else - we had a long conversation about it a few weeks ago and I really cant remember what it was now but its worse than the heart shape! But anyway out little niece is perfect

oh she also had natural delivery too and no probs there.

Hi all

Sorry I have not been on for a while as had a busy few weeks.

I haven't read through everything that I have missed yet but have noticed that you still have me on the list for testing QQ.

I did test but it was a bfn (boo). Can't remember what cycle day I am on at the minute but I am due for AF next weekend.

Congrats to everyone who got their BFP last month.

hi everyone, hope everyone has had a good last couple of days and hasnt been affected by the weather too much, the wind is picking up again down here and im probably being a bit of a baby but i cant sleep when you can hear the wind picking up.

No news here think i am in the 2 week wait? think i ov on the sat the 31st and we b'd fri 30th morning so hoping we caught it, must make more of an effort next month if not.
i am in awe of the ladies that that try to do it at least twice a day, think i will subtly try and ease oh into that frequency as we arent quite to that scale yet

ive seen a fetility calendar thing on the internet that when i put the dates of my af in shows me as being cd 20 or od 5 for today? think it was an american website so the terms are probably different than over here.

think im going to try and not test at all and just wait for af to arrive or not. when i was pregnant in the past (with molar and miscarriage) the first symptom i got even before my af was due was really sore boobs, especially when getting up from bed in the morning, so i am going to try my best (even though i have internet cheapies here) not to test
and i know i probably shouldnt be thinking too far ahead, but i dont even want an early scan either, i was all about finding out whether it was a molar last time i was pregnant and i ended up havng 2/3 early scans until a heart beat was found, which was brilliant but then at 11 weeks to find no heartbeat was horrible so i know it will take all my self restraint and the first 12 weeks will seem like an age and ill probably drive myself mad thinking and over analysing symptoms but i dont think i want a scan until 12 weeks.
But i suppose the first hurdle is getting pregnant in the first place... grr why cant you fast forward some time and fast forward to a place where you can start to enjoy, wouldnt that be nice?

didnt even attempt to watch one born every minute i know a lot of people said the last series was good, but it just seems way too close to the bone for me, having never had kids and when im not pregnant and not filled with hormones, i just feel so detached from kids, and detached from women who have kids like im a different species, it just seems a different world and out of my reach, but i know when i am actually pregnant, it just feels right, i feel protective, i want it so much- but that is probably what the hormones are for at the time!

off to try and get some sleep now, night all.

Do you really want an answer, fat knack?

Confusingly, CD1 here! :huh: makes that cycle only 24 days! :shocked: It makers those faint lines I was getting on the opks more relevant though, I guess, but very bizarre all the same :huh::think:
