hi mollie I'm ok not too stressed feel slightly sickly all day everyday but it'd fairly mild.
that's great news about your scan, what an amazing Xmas pressie! I'm so pleased for you.

Thank you. I think the worrying will only get worse for me as the weeks go by because I lost Oscar, but hopefully this treatment will work, I need this baby so much.

Cartoon I expect you're glad you feel a bit sick, any symptoms make us feel better!

I think under those circumstances you never stop worrying

mollie I'm not sure after everything not much helps you to stop worrying its awful, I wish I could say something that might help. symptoms are always reassuring and with each scan it maybe gets a little easier. but we won't relax fully until these babies are here, probably not even then as a whole new set of worries will kick in. we just have to hope. this will work for you I know it will

Oh thank you cartoon. I hope so much that we all on here get our babies this time, positive thinking x

buzzy I was just wondering how you were? if there was any news?

mollie I am so pleased for you. Such great news.
buzzy everything crossed that you are moving in the right direction.
Also wondering how abney is.
I have my first scan tomorrow. I should be 6w6d. I just have no idea which way this is going. I keep telling myself there is no point in trying to guess. I think my worst case scenario for tomorrow is a vague result. This is what has happened with my previous 3mcs and I have found it just so hard... Knowing that it's likely to fail but having a glimmer of hope.
So, I guess clarity would be good!

Hey ladies, I am still around, things seem to still be progressing, I was very ill on Tuesday but today not so much queue lots of boob poking and mentalling everyday I feel I'm aging years, I'm also finding that my skin is dry and hair is brittle, is this the steroids??

clabbage its tough having the scan, you are so hoping that everything is ok but you are trying to prepare for the worst, I felt physically sick at my scan, just going back into that room, I'm totally freaked out about next weeks scan, its so stressful, my fingers are crossed for you tomorrow, what time is your scan??

Good luck clabbage, I so hope its all good tomorrow. Yes clarity is great and inconclusiveness is the worst thing ever.

buzzy glad you're doing ok, so hard not to turn into a mentalist in this game! My scalp has gone all dry, itchy and minging, I think it must be the pred too.

cartoon you doing ok?

I'm ok, I could do with a scan every other day though to check all is ok!

mollie I need something everyday, I am now keeping a record of my symptoms everyday

buzzy the pred masks symptoms though so try not to worry too much about them...easy to say I know...

yeah but i had really bad sickness on Tuesday and now it is less, I know I know they will change from day to day but I get so mental

Oh Buzzy, I think we all know how you feel. Boob poking all the way here.

Scan is 10.15. Get an adrenaline shot every time I think about it. I will be shaking by the time I get there. OH is away so just me going in.
Hope everyone else ok?

Ugh good luck with all the scans everyone, the wait and the fear and anticipation is horrible. Time takes on weird proportions doesn't it!

Congratulations on all the progressing pregnancies! mollieboo and cartoon I am so happy for you, it sounds like all is going well this time around. Buzzy so glad to hear things are progressing. Good luck at your scan clabbage I can vividly remember every single scan and feeling sick to my stomach.

Thanks for all the support...I am currently growing an embryo with a beating heart measuring 3 days ahead...the absolute best possible scenario.

Need to keep feet on ground but I shall celebrate this moment.

Great scan news, Clabbage. Well done.

Good luck to all those with scans looming.

Also wondering about Abney.

clabbage that's great news, so pleased for you!

Feeling ok rose?

Waves to all.

Hi ladies , not been on for a while but posting with news of my baby boy Blair . A pred baby , Blair was born on 28/5/13 by c section weighing 6lb 8oz. I truly believe without the pred & super ov we woud not have our little rainbow baby with us now. I hope you all will get your take home babies soon. I know how hopeless it all seamed to me when I was ttc. Waves to all xxx

Congrats rainbows on your baby boy Blair, wonderful news, thank you posting x

Congratulations Chasinrainbows what wonderful news. Another lovely little boy!

clabbage congrats on a great scan

rainbows congrats on you baby boy and thank you for sharing

Congratulations, Rainbow wonderful news. Love the good news stories, keeps the hope alive. Enjoy your little boy x

Hi everyone. Just to let you know and give hope to everyone Baby Lewis arrived 2 weeks ago. He is truly another miracle. He was 10 days overdue and weighed 7 lb 4 oz. Just a reminder that I am 45 and 6 months old.

Congratulations Rainbow on the birth of your baby boy and congratulations to all those that have had recent successful scan results.

Just posted this on the other thread but in case it helps anyone with their journey here are my thoughts re Dr S. Whether it was down to Dr S treatment (which did fail a number of times) or whether it was a lucky egg, he did give me the strength to carry on as he was always positive that I would get there in the end so I have an enormous amount of praise for Dr S and one way or another I truly believe if it had not have been for Dr S I would not be sitting here with DS 1 and DS 2 as I would have probably have given up a long time ago. What he does wrong in my opinion is 'drip feed' the drugs to you so at the end of it you have no idea what treatment worked or whether it was a lucky egg. I don't know why he does not throw everything at it right from the start. The only reason I was on hydroxy is that I had read about it on this thread so I asked for it. When I asked for intralipids he said no on 2 previous occasions. This was when I saw him on the NHS albeit I was happy to pay for it privately. Number 6 mc Dr S suggested I could take pred but when I got pg and when I asked for it he said no as I had no trace of hnkc. So the one thing I have learned is to make sure you get all of the drugs a.s.a.p. i.e ask for everything, no drip feeding. Also ask for further blood tests as up until mc 9 I wasn't tested again and to my surprise I went from having no issues re nkc to vhkc so I was on the wrong treatment.

Anyway wishing everyone all the luck in the world. I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of you.

Abney and Chas that is amazing news, so so pleased for both of you!! Abney it's lovely too for others struggling to have that reminder that your age hasn't hindered you!

I've lost track now but surely there have been well over 20 babies born on here since we started?!
