Some of you were lovely when I found out I was pregnant so I thought I would give you an update on my adventure since then. Anyway, I really need to tell this tale as I am so hyper at the moment!
So! OMG! What an up an down time I have had! Got a bfp in the month I had pretty much decided to make my last attempt as I am 39 and have pcos and had had enough tbh! Was delighted. Then had bleeding. Then hormone levels came back normal for 5 weeks. Was reassured. Was called in for scan anyway and went in completely confident all would be okay. But was devasted when told that it was a failed pregnancy - empty sac and was told there was no hope as there was no yolk. Was told to come back for scan to confirm this and to establish whether it was ectopic, but to expect that I was likely to miscarriage naturally before that. Devastated. But had spent the week coming to terms with it, and had arranged to start the medical management of the miscarriage today. Went for second scan today and there was my six week baby with a strong steady heart beat! Turns out the !!*! doctor and nurse last week had based my estimated pregnancy on my last period despite the fact that I had told them when I phoned that I have pcos and that I estimated I may be about five weeks pregnant and this was all in the notes on me that they had. Instead they assumed that I was seven weeks, based on my last period, and assumed that the pregnancy had failed at five weeks and so hadn't developed since then. Instead the only reason they couldn't see anything was because it was too bloody early!!!!!! Just as well I didn't drown my sorrows in wine last week.

So anyway - hooorah! DH was so delighted he cried during the scan!

Brilliant story, but don't you just hate when medical professionals ignore what you know about your own body.

PS: love your thread title!

PPS: DD3 decided to make an appearance only after I'd given up trying and given away all my baby stuff at age 40 (she was born when I was 41).
