Oo HB - Gill gives good advice there, good luck for your appointment. Gill enjoy your hols! I wonder if there are any thread readers hanging around at the mo...!

Rain how did the flying come about? I'd love to do that although I'm a bit scared of heights!

Rosie your baking looks amazing. I need to pick some recipes and give them a try I think.

Only 3 ish weeks til my hols, woohoo can't wait.

X post Happy totally jealous of only 7 more Mondays for you teacher berries! Hope your appointment next Saturday goes well and a plan is always great!

Batking will you let us know about your blood results when you can

Bushy good luck for your scan tomorrow, let us know how you get on.

It was a gift day - I was absolutely bricking it beforehand but it was absolutely brilliant! Much easier than driving a car, no one to bump into!!

Silly me forgetting bushys scan tomoz. Hoping you get to see your little bushy's heartbeat!

Actually chortled out loud at wazingafingers and was asked by dh what I was laughing at!

rain are you janes bond?? How exciting!

feather twinges mostly on left not that high up but also just under belly button and slightly to the right. Twinging today.

Brilliant baking rosie v impressed.

hb good suggestions on what to ask from others on here. Also ask when they would be thinking of doing another cycle.

Scan tomorrow... !

Thanks rain & beaky.

And happy you've made going back to work tomorrow so much more bearable, only 7 more Mondays!!

Can't sleep, been wide awake since before 5.
Might go and order this honestly healthy book while I'm lying here!

Good luck today bushy.
I've worked out from our itinerary that I'll be walking up a hill to a castle when I have to call for the results of the blood test. Doubt there's going to be any reception. Going to pimp with the cb digi this morning. Petrified it's going to say 'not pregnant'. Perhaps I should just get up now and get it over with .

happy 7 more mondays for me then no more teaching mondays at all!!! No more Sunday night planning sessions .

Well, cb digi says 'pregnant 1-2 weeks' but I'm bleeding .

Oh barking what a head f*ck. Is it more than spotting?

bushy wishing you good luck for your scan today. X

Happy Monday everyone else!

It's bright red and enough that I went for the sanitary towel and not a pantyliner. Feeling very angry at the world right now . I'd only just convinced DH I was pg .

Oh, batking, I'm so sorry. I hope the bleeding turns out to be nothing just like bushy's recently even though it must be very scary and frustrating. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Good luck at the scan, bushy.

Happy, it will be so good to have a plan. And with the wedding coming up, time will fly by.

Happy Monday. Have a good start to the week.x

Oh barking you may still be! I had a huge bleed, started brown but def became red, heavy and with weird clots for nearly a week and the tests still say pg. that's why I'm a bit nervous about today. Sending you lots if good vibes that it's just weird early pg spotting. If it's possible at all to try and take things slower today, know that's going to be hard on a trip but perhaps a kind colleague could help out x

God I hate getting up on Mondays, so tired! Still, 6 more Monday get ups happy

Hope the scan goes well bushy! I have everything crossed for you.

barking a lot of people have a bleed in early pregnancy. Know it must be scary, but hang in there. Sending you Berrie power.

I think I got five minutes sleep last night.

Bad cramps as well now. At least I might get an indication this afternoon of what's happening, but in the middle of nowhere with 40 kids it couldn't be much worse timing .

Oh no Barking I'm so sorry but like everyone says it could still be nothing. Keeping everything crossed for you. How long are you away for?

Oh barking. I'm so sorry. There is not much else to say.

I had a bad night. Woken around 4 with cramps and stabby pains. Totally convinced I was MC :( no bleeding yet, thank god, but my temp was off the scale this morning and have a worried feeling about this....

happy away until wednesday, then away all week next week as well (different year group, their teachers couldnt go because they both have small babies at home )
Queueing up outside the clinic now. Got here just after 7.30 and we weren't the first. Really hoping they open the doors before 8 so I can sit down.

barking I'm thinking of you. I really really hope it's "just" a scare like bushy had. So shitty that you have to go through this while you're working away. Life sucks and it's unfair after all you've already been through.

gillster Remind me when your frosties are going back in - is it July? Yep the wait is quite annoying although at least I was pre-warned it was likely to happen. TBH it's probably a good thing - the way I feel after the EC I can't believe my body is in the best condition to get pregnant. Am irritated that the dr said I should wait 2 cycles just because we're going away on holiday. Am going to try and see my regular dr this week in the hope I can do it in a few weeks. Given that my stupid body doesn't do anything the way it should, I guess they can just give me a medicated cycle and time it to suit? There must be some upside to being infertile!

Your baking looks yummy rosie, you've motivated me to get back into it again!

hb Good luck with your appointment today.

rain Am seriously impressed with your flying, I would be way too scared of killing myself!

bushy Hope all goes well at the scan.

Bushy, Barking and RP, thinking of you all and hoping this morning brings some happy news for you all. Early pregnancy is such a worrying time. I'm sorry I'm a little late to the party but have been away for a stretch and it's taking a while for me to get back on top of the thread.

Hang in there

Worrying times in Berry HQ . Thinking of you all today and keeping everything crossed for good news

Thanks Sid. So far no bleeding though feel as though I'm coming down with a lurgy Debating whether aerobics today is a good idea or not.

Barking let us know how clinic went

Barking I'm thinking of you and sending so many positive vibes

On the coach now. Told the TA at work and she told me I shouldn't be in, I should be at home resting. I can't imagine it will make any difference now.
The nurse at the clinic said it wasn't a good sign but I should wait for the results . Desperately hoping I get signal at lunchtime.

Hope everything ok at the clinic barking

rp maybe skip aerobics today and go for a walk instead? Better for your core temp not to go up via hardcore exercise?

hb got everything crossed for you at today's scan.

rosie baking looks divine!

rain you are too cool!

Berrie power to all. X
