Right, have no idea where to start. Think Lunatic's idea about several threads might actually be a good idea. There are so many of us now and it's becoming a rather tangled web. Don't think it's possible to do justice to everyone, even in a daily post, but here goes...
Julez He is just beautiful. What a gorgeous, gorgeous little man. Hope the jaundice has calmed down a bit now. My DS was a sleepy little chap too.
banana I couldn't help but smile at your wish that the next 4 weeks go by slowly. This whole process is a mess of wishing your life away and willing it to slow down at the same time. I don't think either of those feelings are abnormal. We just have to roll with them because there's nothing else we can do.
at your ex-boss! They do say that what goes around comes around. I'm sorry to hear what happened to her, but that is no excuse for her hideous treatment of you.
Lady How are you holding up?
Panda Utter
at your boss too! Being someone who dreads hitting the send button unless I'm absolutely sure my message won't be misconstrued, this made me cringe. I think you've done so well to handle this with humour. I'd have been tempted to write back and ask if it was intended to be desperately insensitive. I agree that his wife probably sailed through pregnancy. Possibly a good thing that people who can be so oblivious remain that way and leave the rest of us OMW to it!
HCF Congratulations! Excellent news, if rather nervewracking. The very best of luck to you for Friday. At least you have a plan this time around, but GRRRRRRR that it's taken so bloody long to get there.
HFL Congrats to you too! This is becoming a rather hopeful thread compared to the pit of despair it was at the outset!
digi Great news about the unremarkable sperm test - on the mc front anyway. I really empathise with the whole temping thing. It's a bloody nightmare and leaves you ridiculously high one minute and desperately depressed the next. Like you, I couldn't bring myself to stop but, have to say, even on the cycle that I conceived, my temps didn't behave as I expected them to. Also, my hormones were so squiffy that my temp often went up before a period, which left me even more inconsolable on cd1 because I wasn't prepared. In the whole time that I did it, I can honestly say, now, that I don't think I ever had a month that I classed as doing what it was supposed to. I was by no means an angel in terms of following rules. I occasionally drank too much (for the sake of my sanity) and stayed up late at night, so perhaps it was down to a lack of consistency on my part sometimes, but not all the time. Having said that, I only technically worked for one cycle when I took the clomid. I do wonder how a cycle would look now if I am to assume that I am fixed after this pregnancy. Of course, I might not be and may never know as I'm not sure I could do this again...it's just a complete nightmare and you have my every sympathy. Rant away.
BB Hmmmm so you may have this hideous endometriosis, or you might not, but the only way to check is to remove all your womanly parts???
This doesn't sound altogether helpful to me! Do they have a contingency plan for those who are TTC? Surely there must be a form of treatment in place for this problem? Ah, have just read your next post! This thread moves far too quickly. Both myself and Mummy have endured a HSG, so shout if you have any questions.
Coconuts I never really got on with cervix checking either. The only surefire thing which told me that I was actually or near to ovulating was that sex was often uncomfortable if my cervix was knocked by accident. Talk about a kick in the teeth in terms of timing!!!
Found myself giggling at the stranger in your bathroom cabinet analogy. I've regularly thought the same and found myself doing a spot of creative hiding when people come round in case they decide to have a nosy about. You can tell a lot - a little too much - about a person's physical health as well as mental lack of it from their bathroom cabinet! 
LAF I know it probably doesn't seem like it most of the time to you, but I think you are so very, very brave and grounded about everything that has happened. I really admire the way you are coping and dealing with your feelings with such honesty. Whilst this doesn't help at all, as nothing will, I hope you continue to talk to us here. If nothing else, it does help to get your feelings out, I think.
Crystal I'd be weeing all over everything in case it changed colour/ gave me a line in your position! I also got a negative test the day after my much awaited BFP and it turned out to be a dodgy test.
justmee How are you doing?
mumatron Hope your little scrumptious pot is being good for her Mummy.
Mummy Hope you've recovered and fingers crossed for clean as a whistle results. We're here to hold your hand through the 2ww.
frazzled It sounds as though Finn is doing so well and it's excellent that he's out of High dependency. Try to remember that they ALL lose weight in the early days, regardless of how/ when they popped out. I'm sure you are giving him what he needs. It will just take him a little while longer to have gained enough strength to come home. In the meantime, pat yourself on the back for being a supermummy!
Lunatic Had a little sniffle at the cmw coming to find you to give you a hug. I think I would have bawled just to be understood by someone who didn't think I was nuts! I cannot tell you how utterly relieved I am that the views of this one psychological problem pushing mw are being swept under the carpet. You don't need people like that, who have no idea how to handle anything other than the perfect, ideal pregnancy. Some of us require a little more understanding and those who try to steer you towards natural births and counselling sessions are the ones who should be getting their own heads checked, or maybe reconsidering their line of work! You have a plan. You just need people to stop pushing obstacles in your way now.
Is that everyone? I bet I've missed people. I'm sorry if I have.
Soooo, thanks all for your advice about the scan. Have to say that I wholeheartedly agreed with all of you, until I realised that I was within dates for the nuchal and I realised that they'd want to do that at the same time, if all seemed well. Given that DH was away, I decided to risk leaving it alone until my actual scan date. Hideous decision to make, but we are determined to have at least one successful 12 week scan, which hasn't yet happened in 3 pregnancies. DH is understandably as concerned as I am. Not only does he need to see a baby as much as I do, I also need him to be with me.
So, the spotting carried on - on and off - for about 3 days. Not exactly helpful, but I'm not desperately assuming the worst just yet. I just have to get through the next few days before the nuchal on Tuesday. In the meantime, I've been and will continue to be a madwoman.
On the upside (if I care to slip out of denial for long enough to see it) I've been living in baggy jeans forever, so it came as quite a shock when we had to dress smartly for a family do at the weekend and I discovered that none of my smart trousers/ skirts fit. The real irony here is that I've gone from desperately wanting to be pregnant and not wanting to jinx it, to hiding it from everyone. Most normal people would recognise their ever increasing size as a positive sign. Not me. I tried on everything and the only remotely comfy non-maternity items made me look about 5 months pregnant. Is it just me, or does this seem a bit too soon to be moving into maternity wear? I suppose I was fairly big fairly early with DS and this is the 3rd pg, but I feel enormous already.
I'm now too scared to leave the house for anything until we've had a scan and I'm allowed to breathe out again. OMW? Me? I'm 12 weeks tomorrow, so I'm frantically knicker-checking every 5 seconds in the assumption that it's all bound to go wrong tonight. Seriously need to get some sort of grip on reality here!
