Saturdays are good for me as my OH is on a course this month which is every Saturday so I'm all about making plans for my Saturdays. Might also work better for any of us who are a little further out of town. Although, now that AF is making signs of arrival (after my impatient moaning last night!) I can work out that I will be probably be away for a week some time after the 20th.

Thanks Snoopygirl - I'll deal with that problem if and when I need to. I agree that exact timing might not be entirely necessary.

Morning all :) Sorry I haven't posted much recently - I am reading though and loving all the good scan news - it's really lovely to hear such positive stories :)

coley I was wondering if the pred supresses the symptoms too - although I am only 6 DPO so wouldn't expect any yet (although I have been prodding boobs like a mad woman )

Today I am very very excited. I am off to the fertility show in Olympia. Its on today and tomorrow. There are lots of seminars (only a pound to attend them) and there are ones on recurrent MC, and Immunoligical testing, lots on IVF, etc etc so I am off to the big smoke. I am hoping to come back with lots of goodies too.

Happy Friday everyone xx

Ohh choccypud so sorry you did - I blame my early morning iPhone scrolling eyes- fabulous - did I miss anyone else?

Obvs meant a bit further north not birth!! Phone has baby brain too !! X

Duggs I'd said yes to RL meet up too! A Sat lunch would be best for me though could do a weekday evening if that's the best time for the majority.

Comedy great news. Hope there was no need to stop on the M25 this time...!

Would love a meet up but would take mr either a 1 hour flight or 5 HR car journey to get there :-( any people a bit further birth on the thread??

Congrats to comedy on the good scan, Yey xx

And happy Friday everyone xx???

Coley sorry she only gave me the opening date in Jan not sure when they shut for christmas, didn't ask as it didn't affect me as I'm away. Cheryl emailed my back really quick so you could drop her a line. But yes that's my point how critical is the timing of the whole thing?! Suppose I'll have to call Louise just in case.

Morning all we seem to have 8 of us up for a RL meet so far - freelance, arianrhod, eurochick,kittens , cherry and also coconut and brownie and myself - subject to timings etc. Any others welcome!!

How about just plucking a date out and seeing how that works - week night, Saturday daytime not sure what works best so will kick off with Tues 15 nov 7pm central London location - replies pls - and no pressure as long as one other turns up I'd be happy!

For those who too far away from London we could do a posting commentary - I can see webcams and satellite links so people aren't left out

Whoops.. Nearly fell down the escalator posting my message.. Maybe that's helped with egg laying

Hi free.. Us twins are both awake! I'm up and on my way to work already.. Still haven't had time to read whole thread and remember everyones names etc.. But congrats on good scans. I'm planning a weekend session to read through the epic pred thread.
Can't stay long as about to go on the tube and no signal.

I'm up for a RL meet up too..

Still not sure if I've laid an egg yet or am still egging?
Catch up with you ladies later.

Gosh this thread moves fast now there are a lot of us. Can someone update the list? Newbies do add yourselves! And great news for the good scans. It's really lovely to see. Am at a friend's house and didn't go to bed until 1.30am. Woken up by her 18 month old crying at 4am! Why didn't any on you warn me that babies can cry at night! Who knew... Luckily I've got my mobile for MN browsing. Def drank too much for the 2ww last night. And no swi either. Pretty sure I must be post ov by now but no idea! Will carry on when back with dh over weekend just in case. Am very warm though, too hot to sleep and my friend (who came in to have a cuppa with me at 4ish when she saw my light was on, said it's freezing! Based on how I felt last time I was pregnant I don't think I am pregnant yet this month. Don't suppose anyone is awake to entertain me..?

Hooray! Another good scan today. Great news comedy.

I'm on day 24 of my cycle today and thought AF might have shown up as it has the last 2 months but no sign yet. Typical! The one time I want it to show up, and early. The earlier AF turns up, the sooner I can start TTC and the sooner I can work out when my next trip to France is as I can't go until after I've ovulated!

Everything ok!! ... I think this treatment really might work! Look forward to catching up with everyone's posts but for now time for bed - OFSTED, three hrs on the M25 and the scan has done me in. Thank you all for being there.

Hi girls - thanks for your welcome. As this is my first time on Prednisolone, did you find it suppressed pregnancy symptoms during the 2WW?

Also, Dr S said that I should try and test at 10 DPO however I received 2 positive OPKs this month 3 days apart so I'm going to take that from the second OPK positive? I'm not sure if that means that I ovulated twice or I was going to ovulate the first time and it didn't happen for a few days? I'm not one to get an early positive either, even with my daughter.

Another question for snoopygirl - you mentioned the Newlife clinic is closed over Christmas, do you know what dates this is and what we do if we need intralipids around that time?

Iggi - That is great news...you must be so chuffed!! Am so happy for you.

Snoopy I had my Intralipids at 5 weeks and then today at 9 weeks. I am sure it varies and not overly sure what criteria they use as to when you need the intralipids to be honest. I was told this was my last a couple of days ago, but then this morning they questioned why I wasn't having another 2 sessions later on? So I am a wee bit confused so have booked another consultation a week on Monday. The best thing as Coconut says is see what they have planned for you and how critical timings are. They seemed quite relaxed with mine.

Choccy it is nice to know we all feel like that and it is ok to. I had a friend tell me his wife was pregnant and he was so excited. I thought he was going to tell me she was 12 wks. She was only 5 wks and he was telling everyone. Luckily everything turned out great and they have a beautiful daughter. It is a far cry from the conversations DH and I have been having about whether we can get away with not telling anyone until 38 weeks (if we get there ) :)

Waves to everyone else

Congrats Iggi that's fab news xxxx

OMG coconut I craved tomato soup from I was 14-17 weeks I was having 3 tins a day couldn't get enough of the stuff but now can't look at it, how strange !! I've been told it's a sign im carrying a girl but really don't care Eitherway !!

Hi Coconut

I would have the 4 week one no problem, it's just the 8 week one where I would be over by about 6 days.
Hey how does it feel to be nearly 14 weeks pregnant?

Iggi - Fantastic news! What a relief for you.

Didn't Comedy have a scan today too or am I confused (quite possible)? Comedy - how are you?

Stogan - I was laughing about you suddenly craving porridge. I've been the same with tinned tomato soup. Haven't eaten any for about 20 years but have had it three times this week. Weird.

Snoopy - I know you don't want to, but I really would check with Louise about the intralipids. When my test result came back as very high, I was told to go and have them done within a week (that was at 7 weeks).It might all be fine and there may be some flexibility, but I would check if it was me. I completely understand what you don't want to wait a month (says the girl who couldn't wait for Mr S's first appointment!), but wouldn't it be awful if it didn't work out because you were a few days late with the treatment.

I'm up for meeting too. I'd be great to put faces to names.

Sorry, posted before finishing. Total lack of co ordination...

brownie I know what you mean, it's totally normal. I can take family kids, and good friends' babies in small doses but it gets a bit overwhelming after a while. And is much harder with people I'm not close to or where someone's got pg first go and gets the chance to really enjoy it from day one because she hasnt a clue about mcs and The Fear etc. Is selfish to feel like that I guess, but I can't see how I'll ever enjoy a pg or feel remotely secure in it until I'm quite a long way on.

Hope that doesn't sound bitter as I'm not it's just a kind of sigh for what might've been.

iggi absolutely delighted for you that's fantastic. Still shocking the nhs wouldn't let you have a scan to set your mind at rest esp with your history.

Ari also great news, get on it!!

Hi all,

Brownie & Free could you help me out with the Intralipids .... I know I have already said this when I joined this post but I have to plan ahead in case otherwise I cannot try to conceive this month. I am going to Florida for Christmas and IF (big IF) I do get a BFP (and yes I know I'm jumping the gun) I will be 8+6 before I would have the second Intralipid drip on 4th Jan.. (Newlife is not open until 4th jan). I go away from 15th Dec to 1st Jan. Got Af today so can work it out now.

Brownie I see you were I think 8+5 did they say anything about being over 8 weeks today before your drip? and I think Free you are also going to US from your previous post and mentioned you will be late with your drip. What are your thoughts on this? OH said to ask Louise at clinic but I just don't want to hear I have to wait to try and conceive until Dec.
Hope you understand what I;m getting at and it's alot of money and heartache if I screw it up. Probably won't get pregnant now ...got this thing about jinxing myself asking premature questions!!

Iggy great news hope you can relax just a little bit. x
Coley Welcome x

Oh, iggi I'm so thrilled for you. What a massive relief!

I also think that really stinks that the NHS wouldn't scan you. I really hope MN make some progress with their Miscarriage Code of Practice. It makes me so mad that the NHS are considering making Cesarians an option for all pregnant women regardless of there being a genuine need, costing the NHS £800 per woman, but then say they don't have the budget to provide extra scanning facilities so that women who are potentially miscarrying can't be checked out. Don't get me wrong, I do think Cesarians should be made available if there is a genuine need, but not just for the hell of it when money is being held back from things like miscarriage testing/scanning etc.
