Hello all, just catching up with the thread. Really sorry to hear all the sad news.
Dav when are you having the meetings about your ELCS? The waiting is really awful. I'm not sure if you've said why you're requesting one (sorry if you have and I'm just being forgetful) and I don't want to pry, but I was given some really good advice by the matron midwife at our hospital, she spent ages talking to me about how best to get my ELCS granted. I asked for one because of PTSD and previous pregnancy loss trauma.
She said to say to the consultant that "if you can guarantee that absolutely nothing will go wrong with a vb, and everything will go perfectly to plan they I may be prepared to consider it, but if you can't guarantee me that then for my wellbeing and that of my baby I insist on an ELCS". I asked for advice on how to get one granted on the childbirth section of the forum and I got some great advice.
Not to worry anyone who's having a vb, as I said, I'm having an ELCS for my mental health.
LoveCharlie welcome and congratulations, but sorry you're here if that makes sense. Try not to worry, the cb tests are notoriously difficult to get a bfp out of as they only detect higher levels of hcg, so it's a great sign that you got positives out of them, and yep you're definitely pregnant
. I had a similar thing with our surgery and turns out they thought they'd picked up a UTI in my sample so send it to the lab to confirm, so it could just be something like that. It doesn't do much for your peace of mind though does it? 
cbeebies how are you and your little chap? How did it go this morning? Really sorry to hear about your bad experience, as you say, what did they expect your daughter to do?
. Really hope you're ok xx.
Your post about the service made me cry too, I really admire you for going, I don't have the courage yet but hopefully one day we will. We have planted a white climbing rose for each of our lost babies in the middle our back garden, they're all growing up tall white metal obelisks and we've got a brass armillary sun dial in the middle inscribed with "never forgotten" it shines golden when the sun hits it.
Baxter thanks!
Really good news about the test progression, and only seven days until your next milestone
. Time does drag doesn't it.
Corp hope your cold is feeling a bit better.
Mabel really glad to hear the tissue has disappeared
. I had very few symptoms until hyperemesis kicked in around week eight.
Honey hope you're ok xx. Anniversaries are always horrendous, but you don't have long at all, try to hold onto the positivity, I know it's tough, particularly when you've had one thing after another. I'm 28+4 and we had one thing after another too, and it does make it really hard to get excited. Offering a hand to hold
xx.
fedup how are you today? If it helps I had cramps and very dark yellow cm in the first try and it turned out to be the beginning of thrush
. I hate it when cm changes colour though, always gives me massive wobbles. Hope you're ok xx.
seasalt I am so, so sorry
. Keeping everything crossed for you that all will be ok xx.
silver my losses were just down to really bad luck, no underlying medical reasons. I didn't do anything differently this time, and accepting that it was just crap luck and that nothign I did or didn't do made a differnence was a massive part of healing for me. It is very difficult to feel so powerless though. Hope you're as ok as can be xx 
Pixie Imogen is a really beautiful name, and it's brilliant to hear from you. Sorry to hear the recovery isn't going as smoothly as before though, hope you start feeling better soon xx.
I think that's me caught up, but really sorry if I've missed anyone.
Well I had a bit of a nasty experience today, I was allowed off bed rest temporarily to go to the doctors surgery for a check up, blood tests (I have to have them every fortnight) etc. DH drove me there, and I found out I've got thrush again
(am blaming it on overuse of very bubbly bubble bath
). The pharmacy was closed unexpectedly so DH drove us to another chemist. The till assistant refused to give me the cream and started telling me it was irresponsible to use it, and not suitable in pregnancy. I politely told her that I wouldn't have a prescription for it if it wasn't safe, and she started getting very snotty about it (she wasn't a pharmacist). DH demanded to speak to the pharmacist instead and the till assitant flat out refused to get the pharmacist and started ranting at us, saying I was a stupid irresponsible young girl (DH and I are both in our thirties) and that she was fed up of seeing stupid girls who didn't care about their babies and that she would be praying that our baby was stillborn as I didn't deserve to be a mother.
.
I burst out sobbing, DH was furious and demanded to see the manager straight away, who spent the next hour apologising profusely whilst I sobbed hysterically and DH ranted at him. The manager made the assistant apologise, but she was very sullen and begrudging about it.
I very rarely cry, and I would usually just get calmly angry back at someone, but it really shook me up.
. I really wish I'd have said something to the stupid old hag, but I was just so shocked and shaken that anyone would actually say something like that. People can be so vile. DH is still fuming and is spoiling me rotten to try to make me feel better. I'm thinking about writing a complaint to the HQ of the chemist (big national chain).
