Kat Thanks, It came out naturally in the end, thankfully. Not the pain so much more the psycological effect i think. oh well, will have to dig out the pimms tonight & try and go for the whole seduction thing!

viv lovin the new duet & the vid, altho was worrying that they would disappear into the tent together have to say robbie is looking mighty fine!

How you feeling today Viv? Any news on Pretty?

Big wave to everyone x

Honestly? I'm swaying between mega excitement and shitting bricks.

On the plus side (??), I'm already knackered - ever since Monday, it's gotten to 1.30pm in the afternoon and all I want to do is sleep, which I didn't have with either of my previous pregnancies. If I'm like that at four weeks, what on earth am I going to be like later on?!

I'm also swinging between wishing my life away hoping the next eight weeks will hurry up, and never ever wanting to go for the 12 week scan seeing as I've never had a positive one. Sigh.

Just a quickie but viv do you think you'll ask for a scan at, say, 8 weeks? I was thinking of doing that when the time comes but can't decide if it would be stressful or reassuring....

Yes, I think so. We lost our last baby after it was discovered at a private 13 week scan that she had Turner's Syndrome, so I was under consultant care during the termination and follow-up tests. The main issue that time was that I had a scan at 8 weeks which to all intents and purposes was 'normal', so the NHS refused to give me a 12 week scan. Given I'd already had an mmc, I opted to go for a private one for reassurance, where Gracie's condition was discovered.

Anway, what this means is I have a letter from my consultant which states that given my history, I ought to have an 8 week and 12 week scan if possible, so (all being well) I should get one. Although like you, I don't think I'll particularly look forward to it.

(Sorry to everyone else to hear us witter on - I'm still a bit nervous about joining the grads thread just yet. I can brandish fishes for those who need them. :))

viv can i stand beside you and hold the fish basket? I don't want to move either! I have been thinking about an 8 week scan too - but think I might try and hold out till 12 weeks. I don't think my hospital will see me as a 'need'.

My boob soreness is kicking in - just my left though. With a sticky out nipple - so I look lopsided

flipping computer.

We've been tidying up and hanging out the bunting for you Viv... Do pop by.... We all know how utterly terrifying it is, the whole point of the thread is to hand hold and try to make it a little easier
Hugest congratulations, sorry belated, mad couple of days at work...

Battery, you too!

Hey ladies, glad you are knackered viv :) it is completely mental how tired you get, I have been having afternoon naps now for about a fortnight! Battery I am also with you on the aching norkage

About the scans, ignorance is complete bliss. I had a scan at 6+3 and although I was terrified beyond belief I just wanted the reassurance that it was either ok (at that time i.e there was a heartbeat) or if anything was wrong I wouldn't have to endure another 6 weeks before finding out. I am shitting it about having my 12 week scan and it is at the end of the day too!! I am never going to escape the complications of this pregnancy and I am at such high bloody risk of PROM again especially now its twins plus my history I just think sod it, it's out of my control so I am going to enjoy each day I am pregnant with my double bubble and only worry if there is actually something to worry about.....I have bloody good care and a thorough plan of care in place after seeing the consultant today and came home with a lovely bag of drugs for the ride.......Please think positive ladies xxxx

sorry for rambling

owlshoes LMAO!! Hahaha that ocean sunfish is one ugly fish!! That should do the job, thanks very much!! Turns out the strange feelings were an upset stomach... But did I use that as a wake up call to stop symptom spotting? Er, ashamed to say I googled whether it is a pregnancy symptom...! oh dear!! In case you're wondering, the answer is a pretty definitive no at day 17!!

viv I'm so sorry about Gracie :( I have everything crossed that things will be different for you this time.

magic that actually sounds like a fantastic attitude for life in general-I am going to try my hardest from now on to only worry about things when I have a reason to worry, think it would make my life soooo much easier as I'm very good at imagining the very worst case scenarios that could possibly happen.....

blimey - a girl gets busy at work for a couple of days, pops in to provide chocolate, wine etc. and discovers that there have been about a million just a couple of posts while she's been away!

hi to newbies, sorry you're here but it's a great place to be.

viv - YAY YAY YAY! SO pleased for you.

thought since i was getting near the top I should POAS, but alas nothing. Just waiting for AF now so I can go back to the clinic and start treatment.

tigger thanks for the info, much appreciated. if the round of treatment we are booked in for doesn't work i'll try her as it's way better to go for someone that comes with a recommendation :)

the rest of you, consider yourself suitably aquariumed, hugged, wined up, chocolated, tissued and generally greeted.

been way too much going on here for me to namecheck all of you.

had my half year appraisal at work today and one of the questions the boss has to ask is if there is anything they can do to help you over the next 6 months. cue me saying 'yep, you can give me lots of time off at the last minute to get fertility treatment'. boss's reaction completely made me gasp and require a chair to sit down in very firmly! (this boss is the least sensitive person ever. asked me the other day to sort out a present for someone in the team but in a different office whose wife has just had a baby. why me?) she said i could take all the time i needed at the last minute and that although it would have been really inconvenient for me to have had the baby i miscarried (I'm an accountant and my EDD was about a week after the corporate year end date) she would far rather have been inconvenienced than for me to have lost the baby and be going through this. could seriously have thought i was in the twilight zone or some other dimension but then she said 'of course, you can only have last minute time off if I know your work is all completed' so not a complete personality change then ;)

hope all of you are doing well.

Hi all a busy day today on here, reflexology was great really boosts the morale as well as everything else

dachshundsrule dont people really surprise you with their reactions. Hope rest went well!!

magic8 thats great power of positive thinking and all that

Everyone walking in so will say hi to all and check in later

Quickie before dinner. Loopy hope things work out for you pal x

8s - truly amazing attitude, dead proud of you matey. The amount of fretting I did during the last pregnancy was ridiculous and unbearable. Probably brought on in part by lack of symptoms but to be honest, totally unhelpful in any case. I have never felt so anxious and distressed and in the end, it did no good whatsoever in terms of softening the blow. Good on you hen!

Viv you will be wishing the weeks away, that's only natural. If you can, take a leaf out of 8s' book and don't put yourself under pressure like I did x

Hugs to PV, Dasch or anyone else that needs them really. Bee, I partook in a spot of Russian SWI roulette last night after getting a positive OPK. So despite WTTC I'll now have a TWW which is handy. Its like some awful compulsion to get upduffed regardless!!

loopy - keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out for you.

magic8 - you are so right. Also think it helps to adopt that kind of PMA about non-pregnancy-related issues during pg too, because none of it helps. During my last pg I was actually pretty laid-back about the pregnancy itself, assuming it would go as smoothly as my first two, but I wasted so much time and effort worrying and stressing about everything else - work and potential resourcing problems if I went on mat leave, how my boss would react (badly!), how my sister (just starting ivf) would react (again, badly!) etc etc. Then all of a sudden the baby was gone and I regretted not just enjoying the time we had

magic, battery & viv fantastic you are getting lots of symptoms, even if it is aching busoms... tiredness is good - great excuse for feetup, chad movies, and lots of chocolate heres hoping for an uneventful few months for you

GAH...

hideous day. close friend with a perfect 12 wk scan (delighted for her) is having a CSection on the day i was supposed to be due..doesnt help with the MC healing process. I feel guilt as i should be delighted for her, and sorry for myself as i want it to be me I'm really not horrible you know!

and now DH has gone to bed early so no pimms & russian roulette in this house

daschs dontcha just love bosses....

Pink i spent the entire last 3 months pg confusing poo pains with tummy cramps and still dont know the bloddy difference
