Caribou! how lovely to see you again, and thank you 
I'm too scared to poke my nose on the grads thread to say anything just yet, but I'm terribly aware that lots of me ol'muckers are about to or have already popped. And your little boy at 16 weeks already 
how scrumptious 
. How has it been with your daughter? Is she fine with it all or has there been an element of rivalry? I guess DS isn't really up to interrupting her games etc so maybe not much of issue so far?
yes, 'shitting it' is exactly what I'm doing. Although, to be honest, mostly I'm just pissed off with the early pregnancy crapness of generalised nausea, occasional sickness, tiredness and food aversions that have come along right on schedule. I keep thinking, 'oh god, if I'm going to lose this one too, couldn't it happen BEFORE I have to spend several weeks being miserable'. Hey ho. I think if it doesn't work out this time that might be me done trying for no.2. I was in an ok place before the BFP in terms of accepting us as a one-child family and me as a mother-of-one.
MissTina sorry about all the spotting, no wonder you're feeling tired, I'd press for a referral on Tuesday, be brave squashes tiny bit of optimistic thought back into box and just shuts up
AandR did your friend have her CS baby ok? I've suddenly realised that my two friends who are pg are due in a couple of months which seems to have come up quite quickly. I'd better get my knitting sticks going a bit quicker - had plans to give them lovely handmade presents. How are you doing? Hanging in there? Scan is just a few days away now.
digi!!!!! you're at 10 weeks!!! bloody hell lady. That's quite good going. You're being scanned again this week aren't you?
Velvetcu I googled PGP and you have my utmost sympathy - that must be so difficult as a teacher too, such an unforgiving profession! Are you close to any flotation tanks? I forget where you live but there's one by London bridge that I went to in my first pg and it's absolutely marvellous. Warm, floating, weightlessness, not claustrobic - I really recommend it and hopefully it would help with some pain.
batteryhen I'm soooo pleased that AF finally turned up. It would have been too too much to have to go through a whole Asherman's thing as well after what you've been though, you must have been very scared and I'm pleased that this, at least, has been a positive story for you. So...you're with Mr S now aren't you? Did I remember that right? Are you going onto steroids?
Itsabear Well Done You! on getting your GP to run some tests, that it brilliant work. I've had some success with putting sensible research papers in front of my consultant's nose when they wanted to poo poo my risk factors. I do think that much of the time it's not lack of care or interest, but lack of time to read/research for many GPs (and sadly, specialists too now). So great.this link is quite a good summary of the tests etc. Do try to make sure you get print outs of the results. Sorry you're still showing positive though. That's hard. The last traces of HCG can take quite a while to disappear. I think the half-life is about 2-4 days (that's the amount of time it takes for the level to decrease by half), but obviously that means a rapid drop when the levels are high to slowing drop when they're lower.
