Tina - hope you're managing to get things back to normal with your DD, it's sometimes quite easy to forget how the whole ttc/pregnancy can affect the people around us. I'm sure your dd will love the twinnies once they arrive and enjoy being a big sister! How old is she, if you don't mind me asking? My DS is only 18 months, so I'm hoping that DC2 won't be too much of an issue with him.
Isabeller - so sorry to hear about your donor withdrawing, so disappointing. Do you think that they might find someone else quickly...?
CaliBee - fingers crossed your ovaries hold out until your DP gets home, good luck!
greenlizard - that sounds really encouraging, good to hear that your GP is supportive. I can only echo what hopefulgum said - yes, charting can make ttc more stressful because it makes you so much more aware of how small the window is and how important the timings for dtd are, but on the other hand it does really help you understand your cycle (at least it did for me). I felt that I was being proactive and doing all that I could to ttc.
hopeful - hope you can 'convince' your DH to dtd. It's difficult, having parents that are increasingly in need of looking after, I feel for you - you have to question everything and anything that you are planning for your own life, don't you? My mum is now on her own after my dad passed away 2 years ago, and since his death, she seems to be aging a lot faster... At the moment, she is fine and capable of everything, but me and my siblings worry a lot about what to do when that isn't the case anymore. None of us live close by, which makes things even more complicated.
I'm good, thanks for asking! Feeling cold to my bones all the time, can't seem to get warm... I remember this from last time - first trimester I was an ice-block, then boiling for the 2nd and 3rd!
I spent a lot of time at my GP yesterday, with very little result 
My medical history requires quite a lot of 'action' for this pregnancy - I had a pulmonary embolism in January, which means that I will be at increased risk for another blood clot now because of the pregnancy. So I will have to have heparin injections until I give birth. Naively, I thought the GP could just write me a prescription and it will be then all reviewed by the consultant again, but no... Left the GP empty-handed with the assurance he would call the consultant's secretary to make sure I get seen asap (the usual 2-3 week waiting time might just about push me into the Christmas shutdown otherwise!). Great. So now I'm none the wiser. Thing is, we have just booked our flights to Germany for Christmas, and I would feel a lot happier if I had the Clexane on board before then. Ah well...
On a more positive note, I did notify the midwives that I need a booking in appointment 
. So now all I can do is wait (and not spend too much time on the internet reading up on about all the things that can go wrong! Soemtimes, Google is not your friend)
