So a quick update from me:
- I puked this morning ? those people who kept telling me I would feel better after 12/14/16 weeks have clearly lied to me!!!
- I didn?t sleep very well so feel really tired today.
- I managed to strained hip flexor tendon at work on Friday and ended up in tears with my staff threatening to call A&E if I didn?t make a Dr?s appointment??.not a great day really!!
- Best news is that I has a call from my cousin who is also now pg after an mmc in April ? keeping my fingers and twos crossed that this is a sticky one. Her grandmother knew before she did (she is like the best pg test ever?..she knew I was pg before I did as well) don?t ask me how she does it but she just knows!!!
To update on my sister ? as she is away from we haven?t had too many sympathy symptoms but as I?m now metalling about my 20 week scan (2nd November) she is already preparing all manner of abuse to get me through that appointment. She is also keeping me entertained because my MIL is currently obsessed with everything to do with my pregnancy??(bored face) my sister has started to refer to me as ?the vessel? ? it?s our little joke and it is definitely keeping me sane!!!
Ok seriously ? I?m getting worried ? anyone seen marathon?..i assume she hasn?t just joined another thread and not said anything but it?s a bit weird that we haven?t heard from her since her 16 week check up!!!
Our stats are also looking good?..hoping the BFP list just keeps getting longer this year!!!
So to catch up with you all:
MarthasHarbour that is going to take some getting used to as I just think of you as summer but I will try my hardest to keep up with it all as I?m a bit slow on the up take now that I am ?with child?. He is starting to feel upset about missing things but as we have a 4D booked when he comes back I think that will help things, plus my next set of doctors and midwife appointments are all on days and times that he can get to so hopefully this will help as well. Stay strong on your not testing?.it is damned hard but hopefully the wait will be worth it!!! It?s good that your colleague can come to you to talk through things ? it does help to talk about it all I think. Damn the witch got you?.i?m currently cursing her in the vilest terms on your behalf!!!
poppy fully agree that beans on toast is an amazing meal?.while my sister was away I ate sandwiches for my tea as I couldn?t bare the kitchen long enough to actually make a hot meal. Hope your managing to corner your DH for some quality time!!!
blue seems like you have a busy week ahead of you but is great that your scan has now come around. Will be thinking of you and sending you lots of lovely positive bouncy bean thoughts?..you must rush home and update us on how it all goes!!!
pebs how are you getting on?? Any OV news?? Sounds great that you will have such close monitoring next time, to be honest I think it will help a lot as they will be able to keep a good watch over everything which should help (a tiny bit) to calm your nerves.
baby I had exactly the same thing ? and I mean exactly the same (working back through my dates I figure it as) I started spotting brown blood at 5 weeks 2 days, I had my early scan at 5 weeks 4 days, bleeding continued for a week and I was totally metalling but it suddenly just stopped and haven?t had anything like it since then. The advise given by my midwife was to rest, put my feet up and don?t get over heated. If your concerned ring the midwife as they have said they will be keeping an eye on you ? maybe they can do something to help. On the subject of very early scans I saw the little shrimp thing flexing (bending and straightening) and the little white flicker of a heartbeat at 5 weeks 4 days and that was abdominal not dildo cam so you might be lucky enough to see something!!!
missg so glad your little is going strong and hope that you are feeling some kind of relief from your sickness, I feel your pain!!! How are things going for you at work? Did you have to do your presentation in the end?
wellies big welcome to the metalling crew!!! Feel for you on having to play the waiting game and yes DH?s are pesky but generally sensible with these things ? hoping it is all worth the wait for you. Mine refuses to let me fly (we lost the last one on route to our summer holiday) and he said ?I can?t go through that again, being away from home and not really speaking the language with you covered in drips ect??..it did make me cry a bit that it had affected him so much and I have to agree ? I never want to go through that again so we shall be waiting until the little baby arrives (fingers crossed March 2012) before our next abroad adventure. My HCG was tested at the time of the MC and it was below the level for pregnancy, we were told to wait and we were but a few drinks and no protection ?et voila? baby IQ was brewing before we even knew it!!!
far also welcome to you!!! Hopefully your last set of results will give you the all clear to crack on and get back on the SWI wagon. I do feel for you having to wait though, when I had a Dr?s appointment after my MC I was beside myself that I had to wait until I?d had an AF?..not that, that actually happened in the end 
!!! St.Thomas?s was where I was born....we used to live in clapham!! I assume AF?s arrival means that your body is getting back into a rhythm. It is good that you are feeling positive (IYSWIM) about the AF as is one more done and one step closer to that BFP?..that?s what I tell my other friends who are TTC.
eve so glad to see you have joined us on the ?other side? and great to hear that things with DP and DS are much better. Very 
of your time off but then I have a lovely girls weekend away to look forward to in november so I cant complain too much.
pie my Dr?s screen notes were something like ?has had an early MC and is very distraught???
no shit sherlock!!! I?ve had many sets of thyroid tests because of my weight but apparently its close to borderline but not serious enough to warrant medical intervention. They have now decided that I have a high metabolism and so ?burn through? meals quickly ? only taken them 27 years to realise what my mother has been telling them all along!!! Oh well enough of me ? how are things progressing at your end?? Family bike ride sounds great and owl noises??brilliant!!!
twoweek so sorry to hear what you have been through but welcome to the thread!!! Any news on the metalling front??
manda currently 18 weeks 1 day so not quite half way but getting close. Metalling is reducing slightly as I believe I?m starting to feel the baby move around but then as it?s my first it could easily be wind??I do know that resting my hot chocolate on my hip is something it doesn?t enjoy and currently likes to rest behind my belly button so I look like a weird alien thing in the evenings with a nice lump in the rest of my ever growing bump!!! And yay to feelign a bit better!!
shimmery your weekend sounds hellish?hopefully tomorrow will not find us commiserating on the AF front but congratulating. Fingers crossed for you!!!
Love to everyone I?ve missed off?..and hope everyone is doing well on this Monday afternoon!!
