Oh goodness so much going on, and I only wanted to write a quick message!! Here goes - huge apologies to everyone I miss...
green GREAT news that the little bean is fine. But so sorry that you require other testing. You really would think you'd deserved an easy ride this time, wouldn't you... grrrr. Hope you have a relaxing weekend with the ILs (is that possible?! Not in my world
).
Oh and re FB - I sent you an invite to the secret group - have a look at the little icons in the top left-hand corner, it should be up there somewhere - if not I will re-send it. Then you will be able to see babyh's photo and others too.
babyh huge hugs. I get it, I really do. It's just impossibly hard, and so unfair.
It occurred to me - your SIL sounded like she'd been so nice (in stark contrast to the other one), and as she's had two years of struggling to conceive, she will possibly understand a teeny, tiny bit of what you are feeling. Do you think you could tell her? Perhaps it would make it easier, over the coming months, if you could explain how happy you are for her, but how devastated for yourselves, and for your own beautiful boy?
elly so glad you decided to tell your boss in the end, and that he was so understanding. Your scan is so soon now; I'm sure it doesn't feel like it's gone quickly for you, but, nearly there...
Thinking of you and mecha with anniversaries this weekend, too. (elly, like you, I find that dates can jump up on me without me noticing - already, and it's not even four months. It's for exactly the same reason as you: I am thinking about E all the time, every day, and nearly constantly at the moment, and so, while anniversary dates are meaningful, they're not that different. Having said that, though, we did find the 3-month one particularly hard... so it's all a bit all over the place, really, isn't it). TOTALLY get the 'hiding from the world' thing. I am really trying not to, but because I can't really handle any group things or doing anything obviously 'social' like going for a drink or dinner with friends yet, it does feel like I'm not really engaged in the world. Instead, friends come here or we go to their houses, so obviously we do see people, but there are things I just can't do yet. I'm not worried - it's early days! mech we're at such a similar stage, it's early days for you, too, lovely lady. If we were still unable to do things in a year's time, we might want to think about getting some help for it, but at this stage, I'm unconcerned for myself, and am equally unconcerned about you needing to hide away - it's just how it is. It IS awful now, yes. But it won't be THIS awful forever. Hugs to you, and thinking of perfect little Dexter xx
split thank you for your kind words, my lovely 
blizy I'm very pleased for you that you managed to get a gold-dust GP appt in the end! I so hope the ADs start to work as soon as they can (although I know that may be a little while), and oh just that all manner of good things happen to you and DH in the very, very near future.
How are you and fan doing on the 2ww?
Here in KleinePoppet world, I am possibly about to ovulate. But then I have been possibly about to ovulate all week, and, well, since about July. Hopeful, though!
twinkle a huge congratulations on your 12 week scan and new little bean. It must all be so utterly conflicting. I would also be very upset about having that written on my notes.... If I were you I would be tempted to get the Tippex out (does Tippex still exist? It must do, but I've not used any in so long), and write something more sensitive - whatever you feel would be appropriate. Also, I think I would order stickers from Sands. Would you feel comfortable altering them or asking your MW to do so, would you be able to explain how upset it makes you?
I KNOW I've missed people, despite epic post - sorry sorry... I must get myself dressed and presentable, and try to do something with my day. DH is out this morning but hopefully we can come up with something nice to do later on.
