Marbles 
Sorry the evil witch got you. How's the weight loss going?
Murray Pops are good, next it will be he full on Mexican wave (that's the one bit of pg I do miss

Hi Ladies ! I'm just dropping by for a 'me' post. Had 16 week check today and heartbeat was found really quickly It was such a relief that I was in floods of tears ! The lovely MW obviously realised how nervous I am so offered another check at 18 weeks and every 2 weeks thereafter . I told her that once I have regular movement I won't need the added reassurance but it will be lovely to hear the HB every 2 weeks until that point. She was so lovely, was holding my hand while doing the doppler thingy and kept hugging me afterwards - such a lovely lady, had contact with her during E's birth and also after our loss so she understands our situation. DP was with me and I think he was also surprised when I broke down - I had prob been even more nervous than I had realised myself !

Murray Yey for lovely midwife, yey for heartbeat. I'm not surprised you reacted as you did, it's a huge hurdle to get over. You probably won't relax until your holding your lo in your arms but at least until the movements really "kick" in you've got that reassurance.
Mummy Head in the sand is a brilliant coping mechanism and highly recommended
Moomin Have a brilliant flue free weekend
Marbles How you doing? Has Dh realised your trying a new technique this cycle?
I decided to do OPKs again this cycle (starting to feel a little desperate obsessive again) got a +ve yesterday so at it like bunnies, thank god it's the weekend

Buddha - hope you've had a 'busy' weekend mrs . I am sooo hoping this is THE cycle for you xx. You are so right that I won't properly relax until I ave my baby in my arms, but I'm sure that is true for a lot of ladies who have had MCs. For me the big milestone will be 20 week scan as that is where it all went wrong before. Also, 18 week HB check will be significant as it was estimated that although we found out our baby had died at 20 weeks, he had died at approx 17 weeks. Had a LOAD of EWCM this morning so all reassurance went out of the window 
, trying so hard to be sensible and retain PMA ! Feeling ok about it now, but was very negative this morning arghhh !
Mummy - I'll message you in a few months and place an order for some decorations. Too early now as I'll only lose them ! That said, I don't want to leave it too late as will hopefully be busy with pre-baby stuff in Nov
Moomin - how many days/weeks until summer holidays for you ? Schools here are off - E has finished pre-school and is all set for school n 6 weeks - WTF !!! When you off to Florida ?
In other news, we decided that to celebrate all being well on Fri we would book a holiday just before E starts school,so we are off to Gran Canaria for 10 days in August - only 5 weeks to go ! Woohoooooo

Murray Have you got a date for the 20 week scan yet? Or have I missed that somewhere? Recovering from my "busy" weekend so look out for obsessive symptom spotting!
Marbles Quiet? You ok?
Moomin Did you have a lovely break with C?
Mummy How are you? Suffering or not too bad?
Hay fever is driving me crazy at the moment 
anyone else suffering? Felt like ripping my face off at the weekend. Bit extreme I know but rraaagghhh!

Moomin Good news that all is ok hopefully after the coil no more knees bent, legs apart and relax How are the flies?
Murray Not too long to wait for the scan, are you feeling movements yet?
Where's everyone else? Deserted us? I've had an awful couple of days, stupidly I missed 2 days of happy pills and boy did I know about it. Headaches and dizziness Tuesday so much so had to come home from work, yesterday emotional mess crying and not coping with some RL shit that grown at us. Lets good today is better as ads kick back in. Now I realise how much I need them which makes me a little but at least they're doing their job well What a muppet won't be forgetting again!
I'm going to be covering a new job when my colleagues on holidays and managing 11 staff so I need my wits about me

Sorry Bhudda. Can you see GP and mention shorter cycles? Is LP short or are you ov early? Are you doing OPKs? There will be a solution.
The pics were lovely, Marbles. Bet you were so proud! What CD are you? Good luck!
I've been hibernating. So poorly. Bloody sore throat, cold- bleugh. Just rubbish. Hopefully clearing now.
Last day in work tomorrow...!
Where are the pregnant ones? How are you feeling Murray and Mummy?
