Excellent news Rach!

I am visiting my parents this weekend, so just told them, put the scan pic in the card and asked that they open it together. They were staring at it for quite a while before they figured out what it was. Then there was of course crying. And champagne.

Excellent news!
I'm baffled with conception date as well. According to these new measures I conceived on wed after a smiley on sat. Had a shag Friday and Saturday only and thought I'd ovd on sun.

All is well on the 12 week scan and it appears DH and I are having a baby! Such a relief! I got adjusted (again) to 12+2, which means we conceived on Wed 3rd Oct not Fri 5th as was previously told (important info for you ladies TTC using OV tests). LH surge was on Tues 2nd so not the huge 4 day gap as I had previously thought!

So glad your scan was good news Lol. It's a shame we can't both celebrate with a tonight.

Newsflash: just an infected hair follicle! So relieved! On penicillin which is bean safe and doc was reassuring and sympathetic.

Fantastic news Blol! So pleased for you!

Or this link shows all the stages. The numbers are DPO not since LMP. I am quite surprised - I have reached day 60 today and honestly can't believe there is something 5mm big in there!!!

Aaaah great stuff Blol! From what I gather the size of embryos can differ a lot at this stage. Have you seen this resource? It's a bit medical but I am using it to keep track of where I am supposed to be at as all those apps/sites that say 'your baby is as big as an olive' or whatever seem to disagree with each other. The Carnegie stage thing seems to say that embryos reach different stages/sizes with a few days leeway so I don't think 'dating' is as precise as they make it out to be!

We have a heartbeat
They measured me 6+2 rather than 6+5 which is annoying as I think is slow enough as it is! I'm so relieved!

Brave OW! Poor you.

Good luck Rach and Blol today.

Hey y'all fx for scans today Blol and Rache, am sure they'll go great.

Afm, I'm waiting to see gp today. A huge boil/cyst/abscess has appeared near my unmentionables and I'm in agony. Totally ridiculous and humiliating and I'm scared stiff for little bean trying to grow while my body is all systems go trying to fight the infection.

Hope you feel better soon bunny.

All the best rache!!

Thinking of youBLol and Rache Hoping it's all wonderful news. xx

Good luck for your scan tomorrow Lol, hope it all goes well and puts your mind at ease.

I also have a scan tomorrow and I'm feeling both excited and nervous. I don't really know why I'm nervous having had a scan where everything was fine only 2.5 weeks ago but I just can't help it. I will have no fingernails left by full term!

All the best belissima!!! Fingers crossed for you.

Hi girls
Been busy at work for last two days which helped take my mind off the fact that I have a scan tomorrow. I'm so scared its silly.
I have my booking in app next week and DH won't come with me either. I'd rather have him on scans.
I'm 6+4 today and that's when I started bleeding last time. Think that's why I'm so anxious.
Will let you all know.
Hope everyone else is feeling ok!
Bloody freezing isn't it?!

You have fun pip!

Evening ladies.
Just dropping in to say hi. Got the egg on the CBFM so off to DTD.

Aw bunny sorry to hear that.

captain she sounds like a gem!
FWIW, feeling sort of AFy already and it's seven days away. Ho hum.

P.S. Good news about your Doc Captain. She sounds like a good one

I think the hormones have finally taken me hostage! I went to DSD's quite loosely themed multi cultural multi faith and quite frankly a bit bizarre but very sweet Nativity tonight and was on the verge of tears all the way through it for no reason whatsoever! What's that all about then???

Quick Humperdinck update - my amazing gp just called me to say she's just looked at my test results and is sending me straight to a gynaecologist, so no waiting around for appointments at the medical centre. She even told me who to call and chase if I don't hear anything in two weeks. She said I can talk to the gyno about my fertility issues as well as the cyst.

Fx for everyone waiting for bfps scans and ovs! (So, all of you, basically )
