dig I'm on progesterone - I think my clinic just prescribes it for everyone undergoing treatment, so not much help there I'm afraid! I've actually had more spotting with this pg on progesterone than I did with the natural pg without it, but that one died and I'm hoping this one won't!

digi I'm on progesterone-they checked my levels just after my BFP and they just skimming the minimum level to be normal, although they said that if I'd been on ivf they would have insisted on higher levels so recommended I had it.

HOORAH! Ace news Wombat :) :)

lovemysleep · 07/02/2011 20:02

HK fab news about the scan - am very happy for you Smile

Dachs scan on the 28th Feb - will be almost 8 weeks by then. Think I could get an earlier on at thw local EPAU, but am worried it will be more stressful than waiting a bit longer....I may crack though!

choc hope you are feeling ok after your fall

hello barbie

fab news wombat!!!

Can someone please explain the dating thing you are doing> Do you mean weeks and days? Am presuming it's that......So, am 4+5 then...(this is why I think I'm having bloody twins, as this feels like lots more symptoms so early on, not like DD...could be that I'm just an old duffer now Wink)

Felt sick most of the day too, and hot! Also, my vision at night has been driving me mad too.....keep thinking it's the steroids, then log on here, and realise others are haivng the same as me.....

Hello to everyone I didn't mention - there's so much to get through...

lovemysleep · 07/02/2011 20:05

forgot to say I do tapping too! My counsellor calls it Emotional Freedom Technique and it's brilliant.....really chills me out

tonythetyger · 07/02/2011 20:15

Choccie I'm 7+1 with no/minimal symptoms other than feeling a bit faint on the tube this morning. When I sat on the floor someone did offer me a seat but I think I'll try the other end of the train tomorrow as that's generally emptier.

Also freakily I fell down the stairs on Friday (pitch black and ds' shoes left in the middle) which resulted in a painful shoulder but otherwise ok. I figure the beans are pretty well cushioned at the moment and anyway it's not like there's anything I can do. Are we twins?

Dachs the twin thing is just making me worry more about whether both will survive and if they'll be premature or not. But it's still pretty amazing Grin

Wombat33 · 07/02/2011 20:15

Talking about mad dreams did I share my recurring one about the monkeys trying to eat the giant stick insects on the cafe wall... Hmm Grin

youremindmeofthebabe · 07/02/2011 20:21

Woohoo wombat that's brilliant news! Huzzah!

youremindmeofthebabe · 07/02/2011 20:40

I'm sure that this defies the point of this thread Grin

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 20:42

HEy... I see nix has pre-warned you all that I might be popping by.... Yep, got a BFP this afternoon (internet cheepy and CB Digital) guess that makes me officially up-duffed and a bit freaked-out...

I'm 4 weeks today....

The first hurdle is going to be checking it's not ectopic.. that'll be in a couple of weeks time... then will come the scary time as we get from 6 weeks to the 12-week scan.... Definitely going to need you ladies....

Wombat33 · 07/02/2011 20:47

Hurrah! Welcome knitter!! Feel free to mental away here!

tonythetyger · 07/02/2011 20:49

Welcome knitter! Very glad to see you again.

Mamapower · 07/02/2011 20:55

oooooooh I love it that you girls pop by

Welcome to knitter, fx crossed for a nice dull 9 months ahead Smile

PinkFondantFancy · 07/02/2011 21:19

DH Is being such a prick tonight. I am so tired I want to cry and he won't stop f**king working on his laptop so how the hell am I supposed to go to sleep when I have no idea when he's coming to bed. Everytime I go down he promises me "just 10 more minutes" if he'd just been realistic I would have gone in the spare room an hour ago. So have just had a screaming row, slammed all the doors and gone to bed. So a beautiful surge of stress hormones to poison my poor little bean. Our house looks like it's occupied by squatters cos I'm too tired to do housework but it's not as if he's noticed or is volunteering :( I can't do a full time job where I'm out of the house for 12 hours a day, and be the full time house keeper, and be pregnant.

Sorry for mememe just so pissed off

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 21:19

Thanks ladies - lovely to see you again...

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 21:35

Pink sounds awful and very familiar... Had a rant at DH yesterday although I suspect that with today's announcement he'll assume it was just the hormones talking and ignore me... Grrr.

I think my plan is going to be to write down a list of everything that I do/needs to be done and ask him which things he wants to do...

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 21:43

OK ladies... question for you.... I cycle to work (30 mins each way)... with DS I cycled up to 12 weeks when my body told me that it was time to stop. With the MC it was actually one of my alarm bells that something wasn't right as I'd got past 12 weeks (12+4) and hadn't had the message from my body to stop yet...

Wondering whether to give up the cycling now just to be super-paranoid or to carry on based on the theory that DS was fine and also that I need the money that I save by cycling....

Ladybee · 07/02/2011 21:44

Argh! Stupid phone! I wrote and posted that hours ago! Now it looks like I've ignored all the posts since 8! What is going on???

Too tired to think about it just want to say hooray for knitter and lovely to see Izz yrmotb & mousebacon earlier..

Ladybee · 07/02/2011 21:48

Knitter I think as it's exercise you already do daily it shouldn't be a problem for this pregnancy. Listen to your body of course but I think if you can have one concrete thing that forces you to maintain some element of trust in your body then it might help with the mental battles that are coming?

Ladybee · 07/02/2011 21:51

Also, can someone talk me through the tapping thing please? I need all the help I can get at the moment.
