Evening everyone!
Welcome to the thread whatcakeydid and confusedmum, I had conflicting advice about when to start trying again, but was very helpfully told to make sure i got a bfn on a test first so that i could trust later tests.
mumtum, glad you got them down till one week- still seems horribly long. I work from home sometimes and found it dreadful just after my MC when not in a good space. I'm thinking of you.
manda, such shit timing on the measles front, :(
mrs pears Congratulations on your pregnancy :) Look at you all official :) Sorry about the lack of early scan. I hope the doc also sorted out the hip or is that too much to hope for in one appointment?!
tas fingers crossed for thursday and friday, i would offer to wait and test with you but DH around thurs not fri and feel i might need him around for hugs when get the test result.
I phoned the hospital about my may appointment being moved to august 31st and spoke to a complete jobsworth who told me the date wasn't a typo and there were no earlier appointments as the consultant will be away in between these times.
I then asked what else i could do, and she said, you could ring every day for cancellations, so i asked how would there be any cancellations if he was away? Looooonnnnng silence down the phone. And then she said, "well, he's not away, away". 
In the end I got his secretary's number out of her and eventually managed to speak to her, & she sounded much more sensible. She agreed it was ridiculous wait and said she'd see what she can do and will ring me tomorrow, so fingers crossed.
