feather give the epu a call first, I know it's not just where I am that doesn't do scans on a weekend as I've seen rants on mn about it before when people were turned away until Monday as they didn't have the staff at the weekend. Might save you a trip in if you know it's not a possibility anyway. See if you get a more sympathetic person who will move your scan forward.
I'm going to get my how I met your mother rant out of the way on the old thread as it's too negative for the new one. Watched Friday's episode last night. For those who don't watch bear in mind that this entire (drawn out) season is building (slowly) towards Robin and Barney's wedding day. We're on the day of the wedding. Robin, in a past season, found out she was never going to be able to have children. We were reminded of this in the current season when her MiL to be makes a comment about her future grandchildren and Robin runs out crying. The key plot in this episode is that Lilly is keeping a secret. Turns out that she's pg. This was a kick in the stomach anyway (even on a tv show) but then her husband's reaction of excitement and hugs and 'we're going to have a baby' just KILLED me.
Point 1 This is their second child, it hasn't been mentioned that they're trying so we assume it's just happened without difficulty, but I just wanted to scream at the screen 'No! It doesn't fucking happen like that!' Your husband looks at you and says 'let's not get our hopes up' and you both start on the next very stressful period of waiting and not daring to hope. You certainly don't dare to believe you're actually going to have a baby. A bfp is no longer able to be a happy event, it's just the potential delay of more devastating disappointment.
Point 2. It is the wedding day of your best friend. She is infertile. This is not news to deliver to her on her fucking wedding day 
.
Point 3 The bride doesn't even react to the news. 
. Come on tv people, there is an opportunity here, someone please tell Lilly she's being an insensitive prick and show Robin sobbing at the lack of thought from her friend.
So, as you see, coping very well over here...
I did everything I could yesterday to get the bleeding going, but it's reduced to spotting. Basically, history is repeating itself exactly. I start bleeding, I think it's happening, then it stops. God knows how long this is going to be drawn out for again. At least this time we know there's no hope, last time we'd been told it could still be ok and it wasn't until I passed the sac before the second scan I knew for sure it was all over. I just want it to be over so I can try and put the pieces back together. I can't stand the way it just hangs there, constantly threatening to start but not doing anything. Yet I'm waddling round in massive night time pads as a constant reminder of what is about to happen because I can't risk not being prepared. ARSE .
Ok, moving to the new positive thread now, can everyone please clear up my mess please?
