Sorry been off radar, felt awful this week had nausea at night and vomiting. Not sure if a bug or form of morning sickness. Now have migraine. THanks for everyone's messages of support.

Stogen- you poor thing, and how awful for your friend. Thinking of you.
Pq- sorry for getting scan date wrong and glad went well today esp after your bleed.
Willitbe- thanks for your good wishes

I'm sorry for not doing more personals but going to bed as feel rubbish. Thinking of you all, good luck for tests, scans and Impending births!

Stogan - Absolutely shocking news. How devastating for your poor friend. My heart goes out to her. I'm sure you feel terrible about it, but I really hope you are able to get some rest tonight, as you were already really tired before all this.

Bloody hell PQ what a rollercoaster. You must be completely drained. So glad the little bean is there despite everyone's expectations.

Hope you managed to get your work done Frozen.

And good luck tomorrow Holldoll. Will be thinking about you.

Well I've lined up appointments to see six houses on Saturday. One I'm quite interested in and has just come back on, so I'm feeling a bit more hopeful. Once we've seen them, there really is nothing else out there at the moment, so we'll have to start thinking of a sweetener for our buyer.

What a rollercoaster all round today!

stogan my love you must feel awful for your friend, that really is dreadful shocking news. And at the same time, it is totally understandable and more than reasonable for you to feel upset and annoyed with your so called friend who totally failed to engage brain before cracking on and telling you. Hun you have far more important things to concentrate on right now. You've been through so much to get to this point, try to put it out of your mind, give all your attention to you, dh and your impending arrival and save your energy for tomorrow. Thinking of you and looking forward to hearing your news

PQ what a day for you too, but great news it's all looking good in there. Delighted for you!

coconut good luck with the house search... It'd be interesting to know why that house has come back onto the market...

free take it easy woman! Good scan wishes for you tomorrow.

Good luck for other scans coming up, and get well soon those poorly people!

Please could whoever updates the list move me to Waiting to Test? Ta v much

There are a few people who've gone off radar. Have we heard from comedy recently, as well as brownie? Hope all is well.

Evening all. Stogan I was so sorry to hear your news. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

I am weary after a long hard day so I will wave wearily to everyone and ask that on the list update I be moved to waiting to ovulate as AF arrived yesterday. This is cycle 17 for us and can be the start of our IVF cycle if we want it to be, but I have really, really cold feet.

Shocking news about your friend Stogan - so sorry.
Thinking about you tomorrow x

Great news about scans.

I am just trundling along wondering of it is possible to get any bigger! Not feeling at my healthiest - diagnoses this week include uti, strep b and possible rheumatoid arthritis - bit gutted but need to see a specialist before I worry too much.

Stogans story really on my mind - a big hug to you all x

Stogan what an awful couple of days you've has - I hope today you can put it out of your mind and focus on the very big! job at hand, we are all routing for you!
Glad to hear of other good scan stories.

Have moved Choccy to waiting to test and also added 2 days to all the BFPs. If any of you have more scan dates to add (Digi and PQ when are your next ones?) PQ I have a feeling yours is with Mr S next week...? Anyone else need to add/change details and can't be @rsed with messing with the dates - do it today. Good luck Stogan!! HAPPY INDUCTION DAY!

Good luck today stogan!!

And free good luck with your scan.

Any news from mercator on her scan yesterday or have I missed it?

Stogan so sorry to hear your awful news - you always think these things happen to people you don't know so it's a shock when it is close to home. Good luck for today, we all can't wait to see pics of your little one!

PQ great news that your bean is still holding on despite what you all thought. My friend who is 24 week pregnant had heavy red bleeding up until 14 weeks and the docs said it was outside of the pregnancy sac. She was convinced she was miscarrying as there was so much blood loss. It was her 3rd and last go of IVF so I am pleased she is OK now. Once you have had miscarriages you always expect the worse when you see blood!

Euro are you going to give superov one last go before IVF?

Can I ask all you pregnant ladies if you had any pregnancy symptoms at all in the early stages? I was feeling sick/sore boobs etc until I went on to the 40mg of steroids and now I don't feel pregnant at all. I know that preds can mask symptoms but I thought I would feel something. Convinced that it won't progress and that there will be nothing at my 6 week scan or I will start bleeding before.

stogan GOOD LUCK We're all thinking of you and keeping our fingers crossed for a not so painful delivery!!! Just breeeeeathe!!!

free best of luck for your anomaly scan today. What time is it? Sorry to hear you've been ill, but glad to hear you're on the mend. If you're still feeling knackered, it could be low iron levels. I went through a couple of weeks where I was v tired and dizzy - so I made sure I ate loads of beef and dark green vegetables (found out much later it was low iron, glad I trusted my instincts). If you can't get enough iron through veg then maybe you could take some iron supplements (spatone is v good, doesn't cause too much constipation compared to other iron supps).

holldoll thinking of you too, hoping you get to see that little flicker.

hopeful glad to hear your scan went well. So you're officially past Mr S's 9 week milestone then! Hoorah!

euro sorry you're back on the next cycle . I know IVF must seem so daunting, but we're all here for you if that's what you decide to do. Will you be following Mr S's plan in conjunction with the IVF treatment?

Speaking of which duggs how goes it? Are you having some embies put in this month? Or are you still in Vegas?

coconut good luck with the six viewings tomorrow. Hope it's not too knackering for you.

comedy sorry to hear about the uti and strep b. Did you request to be tested for that or was it a routine thing in your area? I'm wondering myself about whether to get tested. And is the RA pregnancy related? As in, will it right itself after you've given birth? My hands are feeling stiff in the morning, but I know that's down to the swelling and it all went quite soon after giving birth last time.

pq how are you doing this morning? Are you taking it easy after yesterday's drama?

Have the morning off with no plans - so going to potter round the house and try not to do too much. Have been so knackered with commuting and wandering the very long corridors of my hospital - plus did yoga last night. All this exercise must at least be combating any potential GD risks, so I suppose that's one good thing. Didn't get round to calling MW again yesterday so think I'm just going to leave it till my appt on Tuesday.

Waves to choccy, iggi, frozen, willitbe, ari, snoopy, bellyd, battery, dunnitt, sue, cheerful and everyone lurking.

Will be lurking on phone all day today and tomorrow for scan and BABY news! Eek, so excited!!!!

Morning from a much calmer and more relaxed stogan !!

Managed to have a good sleep an nice lye in so now off for a walk and then a bath and lunch before finding out if the hospital has a bed for us, please god let them !!

Good luck with scans today ladies I will be lurking whilst puffing on my gas and air hopefully eeeeeekkkkk !!!!

So excited for you Stogan! Glad you feel a lot calmer and relaxed. We will all be thinking of you today!

Holldoll good luck for today - hope all is OK with you too.

Lurking for more good news of scans today, free and holl ... as well of course for our very own first Pred Thread baby! So excited!! :)

Stogan your beautiful baby will soon be here. So glad your feeling more relaxed. I just can't wait to hear your news. Thinking of you xx

Bit of light relief for everyone this morning, just read this in the Telegraph online and thought I'd share - next time you're on a safari, make sure you've just ovulated if you want to be safe!

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/9132222/Women-who-have-just-finished-ovulating-are-best-at-spotting-snakes.html

Ha ari think it's very true. "could increase vigilance to threats from biologically relevant threatening stimuli around ov time"...snake/threat = DH patting my backside last night, thinking he's due some..Hiiissssssssssssssss!..now sod off!

ROFL!!! snoopy, that gave me a giggle :)

ari I was on safari a couple of yeaars ago and spotted a spitting cobra in a tree........

LOLs and luuuuuurk

Go stogen, looking forwards to hearing the news!

Quick update, scan went ok, been some growth. Fetal pole present now but measuring a good ten days out of what I thought. Prob due to ovulation being late plus late implantation I think.
So still have to go back again to see if a heart beat.

Hope all well with everyone else, and thanks for the good l
Lucks!

holldoll glad to hear scan went well and that there's been some growth. Does this mean you're only about 6 weeks then? If that's the case then yes, still quite early for a hb. Hopefully at the next one.

Quick update, baby is still very high up so had a sweep and now pottering about waiting for doc to sign pills off so I can have my first dose. Gonna be a long haul ladies I am having regular contractions tho so hopefully pills will sort baby out !! X

OOh stogan regular contractions is a good start anyway and the pills should get the little one livened up ! Lovin the real time action!!!

now tellin me babies head is too high and not gonna give me pills. I'm so upset , if my consultant didn't want me in then why would he book it? He has gone home for the weekend now and they are saying they would rather I went into labour naturally as I'm having small contractions. I'm so upset looks like I'll be sent home tomorrow without my newborn.
