Philippa, glad to see the scan went well.

Hope the testing isn't too draining for those in the middle of it x

philippa88 · 09/06/2015 19:31

Thanks girls :) I can't believe I'm just over 7 weeks either! It's just an odd feeling as I'm struggling to believe it's actually inside me! It doesn't seem real at all! Baby is measuring 8.4mm atm - crazy!! X

Marchgirl · 09/06/2015 19:15

Ah. Lovely philippa. Can't believe you're 7 weeks already!

Ha ha indie I'll keep you to that!
Builder booked in for August but we just want to crack on! We've not done a thing since November! Said we'd get Xmas out the way, then obviously the trial and everything started February, then booking people in one by one was a nightmare as one person delayed and had a knock on effect etc.
It's knowing what order to do things too.
We need a new heating system as we currently have 2 boilers doing 2 floors each (large 4 storey Victorian), so we want 1 commercial boiler so plumber coming next week to look to do that and some solar panels etc. It's a big job this house I know, but I want it done like yesterday lol!

Louise, glad your appts,come through. I didn't even write appointments on the calendar for scans!! Only just recently wrote my 20 week up.
Very exciting, and nerve wracking. I had my appointment with my trial nurse before my 12week scan, and I was a bag of nerves. She couldn't take my pulse etc to start with cos it was sky high!!! I had to calm down, big time.
You will be fine, once it's sunk in Wink

Indiedog · 09/06/2015 15:52

Ahh Phillippa, I am made up for you. Been thinking of you all day, with fingers and toes crossed!!' It is very hard to get your head around that things are moving on! I still think now, I hope it's ok in there! My growing belly is telling me it must be!!
Sorry your holiday was a little disappointing, the way I would looked at it, was at least it was a distraction to be away for a while to take your mind of things. And now you have had a very reassuring scan, ThanksThanksThanksThanks eeek!

Choccy, your diy sounds a lot like ours!! Our house is a refurb job. Has been for a while!!! The funny thing is, I've now got pregnant and seem to be doing ok, just as we moved DD into the bigger bedroom and now the smaller one can be nursery! Coincidence maybe!
You have boys clothes, I have girls!!!! Watch this space, maybe we could have a bring and buy sale!!!, GrinGrin Swap shop!

Choccywoccydodah · 09/06/2015 14:41

Eeeek Philippa!! Gorgeous little blob!!! How relieved you must be you got in today!!

Louise, is that your dating scan date? Have you had your booking appt yet as they should've rang then and there to book your scan date! That what L and D told me to do as I was going to Dublin so had to get it in before.
Don't worry, you'll be fine :)

Gen glad af arrived (in a weird way!) you can crack on now!!

All good here. Been sat in our what will be nursery for about an hour looking at the work that needs to be done (a lot as we've got to chop a bit of the room off to put in a bathroom for baby and ds who is in the room next door. They're on the top floor and there's no loo up here at the mo which is a pain for ds in the middle of the night if he needs the loo as he has to go on a potty in his room instead!). Also looking at all the bags of clothes from ds which I can start sorting out whether to sell or keep after tomorrow woohoo!! Will keep you posted obvs!

clairemorgan81 · 09/06/2015 14:35

Ahh fab philippa so happy for you Smile xx

philippa88 · 09/06/2015 13:58

So we've been for our scan... And we saw a heartbeat and a tiny person! It's measuring the right sizes for 7 weeks and she said everything looked great! It hasn't sunk in yet!!!! Xx

clairemorgan81 · 09/06/2015 13:38

No symptoms March, what about you x

Ahh how lovely I bet you can waIt Louise x

LouiseM1987 · 09/06/2015 13:08

Philippa I hope they get you in today to put your mind at rest ! Let us know if they can squeeze you in !

Claire sorry for your bfn it is still early fingers crossed.

I've just come home for lunch to be greeted with my official 12 week scan and I haven't stopped crying since ! I'm so scared I want to cancel it completely ! I need to rearrange as we will be on holiday that day well coming home but I won't make it ! Xx

Marchgirl · 09/06/2015 12:42

Good luck for the scan philippa

Sorry for bfn claire, even though is expected. Any symptoms for you?

Kazz2112 · 09/06/2015 11:44

Let us know how you get on Philippa! Shane about the holiday. Where did you go?

philippa88 · 09/06/2015 10:34

I'm back lovely ladies!!!

I couldn't get on the thread while I was on holiday and it was so frustrating!! Sorry to hear of the BFN's - you will get there, I know it's hard but you will!
Our holiday was so so, the hotel wasn't great and the all inclusive food was not impressive at all! I could barely eat and lost 4 pounds!!
I'm currently 6+5 according to the trial but 7+3 from lmp. I was told to
ring the nurse this morning to go in for a scan but epac are saying they can't fit me in till Thursday!! Waiting on the nurse calling me back as she's asking another department if they will scan me. I really hope it's today, atm I just can't seem to imagine there's something growing inside me! I keep thinking it's all in my head and there's going to be nothing on the scan when they do it. Really hope she calls back to say it's today.... X

clairemorgan81 · 09/06/2015 09:06

i tested this morning I'm 8dpo. bfn as expected x

Marchgirl · 09/06/2015 08:58

I'm going to try and hold out til Thursday. 10dpo. But realistically I'll probably crack tomorrow morning. Don't feel anything at all so far, despite trying to convince myself I'm a bit more tired, hungry, had a vivid dream last night etc etc, but if I'm honest I'm just looking for things that aren't there. I think I normally can feel it by now so not feeling hopeful.

Kazz2112 · 08/06/2015 22:14

Where are you both upto? Pg tesring? Sending lots of positive thoughts and good luck to both of you.x

clairemorgan81 · 08/06/2015 20:58

good luck ladies Smile

I'm feeling okay. I just can't be bothered with it if I'm honest. I feel dead negative at the minute and feels like it's not going to be this month to be honest I feel likes it never going to happen. are you testing thurs what dpo is that for you March? how you feeling this month x

Marchgirl · 08/06/2015 20:51

Hope are you feeling about testing tomorrow claire?

Genwah85 · 08/06/2015 20:46

I tried to avoid the board last few weeks :( only due to frustration waiting for this damn af! But it's here now! Yey! So be ready for alot of frustration and moaning from me!! It was happy moment putting the pregnency tests in my suitcase ready for later in month! Fingers crossed for an extra birthday prezzie and a nice positive! (Planning ahead a lil too much maybe)

Kazz2112 · 08/06/2015 19:56

I found this month very frustrating. But obe thing I love about this board is there's always someone to hand hold and they truly do understand

Genwah85 · 08/06/2015 14:17

Yes oh that will be great to have someone going through this month as can imagine it will be a long one! Never wanted an af as much as this one and I'm in no rush for another for a long time!

Kazz2112 · 08/06/2015 14:09

Does that mean you'll be testing the same times as me then Gen? AF arrived this morning for me. Will be good to have someone to hand hold at the same stage

Genwah85 · 08/06/2015 14:04

I feel like a lil threat was all it needed! I'm glad it has come get it out the way and start a fresh for definate just hope I catch as quick as normal! X

Marchgirl · 08/06/2015 13:59

Great news gen! She obviously just needed a little threat to get her started Wink
