Lady First of all, slightly 
with your CM. It's a cough. Mind you, I do tend to fall into the 'relaxed approach to illness' camp of parenting! FWIW doctors much prefer us to those parents who are in the hospital with everything going. 
Unless said cough is impacting on breathing, or he's coughing up lumps of green, infected gunk, I think he'll be just fine. You know your kids better than anyone. Your CM is allowed to advise, but what's with the judgement?
Re the scan, I'm with Lunatic on this one. You are well within your rights to request that the scan date be put back. You may find that they actually agree with you. It's common sense from their point of view in terms of not having to make follow-up appointments, but it also means you know the outcome straightaway and don't have to endure that horrible extra week or more of worry. I managed to request a later dating scan for myself this time around, because they went by my LMP. Given my wonky cycles, I knew this was a very dangerous idea in terms of retaining any sanity whatsoever and I told them that an earlier scan would be very bad indeed for my mental health! You must do whatever makes you feel comfortable, but I wouldn't give up on the scan completely. It may be a comfort further down the line. Oh, and thank you for your lovely message. Obviously, if I'd read your msg any earlier today, I'd be admitting that I nearly legged it out of the scanning room this morning when she told me to lie on the bed! Hope I didn't make you cry! 
Mummy Loving the OCD style frantic list making. On a more serious note, I hope you're coping. This is a horrible wait for you and I can completely understand why you're feeling down. I know the thin lining is a sign of regrowing scar tissue and I know you've had oodles of hormones to grow a nice, thick, comfy mattress, but I'm convinced that even the most resilient of bodies require a little time to mend and yours has had a lot of confusing things happen to it lately. Try to give yourself a break. In the same way that it will take time for your lining to thicken naturally, it will probably take time for scar tissue to come back, so try to hang onto the ledge and I'm sticking out a HTH for you to grab with your other hand until you get your results back. I have no doubt that they will have a plan if they find anything untoward, but I'm keeping everything crossed that they won't.
HFL When is your scan date? Hope you're doing okay.
HCL Fingers crossed for 4th Feb. I know the wait seems like an eternity and then you just start panicking about the next one. Glad DH is looking after you properly!
Panda What a crappy time it's been for you, but I'm pleased that the physical bit is over for you now. FWIW I don't think it's remotely stupid to panic about losing too much blood. I was positively terrified during my mc and was on the verge of going to hospital at the point that I passed the sac and it suddenly got more bearable. Glad your Mum was there for you. The car park story made me have a little snivel on your behalf. We've all been there, or somewhere similar and I'm actually quite pleased that you just did what came naturally to you rather than bottling it all up. We shouldn't have to suppress such horrible grief. I'm sure that Mum will understand if/when you feel brave enough to explain it to her.
banana I think you've more than earned the right to avoid every pregnant woman or newborn going and it's not at all sad. Sometimes, we need to do whatever it takes to get through the day and if that means avoiding everyone for a while then so be it. I STILL don't want to see my pregnant friends. It's like they're in an exclusive club of which I feel like a total outsider.
yellow I'm a bit clueless about AMH? I'm probably just being dense, but what does it stand for?
digi I have literally everything clenched for a big fat BFP for you. xx
BB It is indeed a very busy thread these days! Hope you are okay and work isn't too manic. Thanks for your kind words yesterday. Much appreciated.
Big hugs to you Claire. 2 years of TTC was bad enough for me. I remember the mountain analogy all too well. Somehow you find reserves of strength you never knew you had, but there are often more bad days than good, especially when you're trying to be careful for what feel like all the wrong reasons.
Coconuts You are no more obsessive or mental than the rest of us. I think the touch typing idea is a good one. I threw myself into running and re-learning French. Neither came to much, but it was a channel that I could at least distract myself with when things got a bit much - which was most of the time!
Crystal I remember being where you are now and wishing someone would just hand over the Clomid already. I'm quite tempted to post you what I have left, but it's powerful stuff and, much as it pains me to say it, I strongly advise monitoring of a professional nature for the first month at least! If your progesterone test is fine but they think there may be something amiss with your cycle, you may well get Clomid, although they do seem to make you work for it if my experience is anything to go by! Thankfully, it tends to cure progesterone deficiency at the same time as stimulate the ovaries, so you're unlikely to need that on top. Good luck with it all.
Lunatic I thought it was bad when they put that I had a 46 day cycle on my notes - which has never happened in living history - but getting your abruption date wrong is a bit more on the remiss side. Have you got that sorted now? It does make sense as to why they made your admittance difficult, but doesn't justify their sloppiness. Yey for the happy accident of the scan and steriods though.
When I went in for my scan this morning they had no record of my first scan, but a note to say my pg had already been dated. I then had to recount the whole mc and infertility story again. It would be so much more helpful if these people would just sodding communicate and not rely on guesswork all the time. I'm glad you're there anyway. Means you can keep them on your toes!!! Hope you aren't too bored. I bet you're missing DD1 like mad, aren't you? You've done so well to hold it together so admirably. Don't waste your energy on grim mw. She's not worth it!
justmee Yey for a hb!

Julez Hope your little chap is now gaining and the jaundice is improved?
frazzled I hope Finn is gaining strength and weight too?
LAF Sorry to hear about the hideous period and the prospect of having to smile and coo over other people's babies. Men just don't get this. My DH cannot grasp why I can't separate my own upset from other women's joy. Maybe it would be different if it was his brother or a close male friend who kept having kids while we were struggling. I don't know. I do know that life is too short to cope with things like this when you are battling with your own issues and sometimes I think it is easier not to face it than to force yourself into a corner whilst trying not to cry. People forget that those who've had babies are generally happy and are less likely to miss your absence than they are to forget you crying in a corner! You are entitled to put yourself first occasionally and graciously decline with an alternative engagement excuse. I think I'd tell my DH he was in charge of buying the present and card and to go without me if that's what he wanted to do, though I appreciate that it's not always that simple!
Waves and welcomes to Rainbow.
Am sure I must have missed someone, so I'm really sorry if I have. Thanks again for all your brilliant support. Not sure where I'd be without you all. xxx
