Had my scan today. 11 long weeks of waiting. I couldn't sleep last night and was rerally anxious but excited at the same time. (I'm a BIG worrier!) Everything is fine, still feeling fuzzy! Quick questions though, on the report I got today there are 2 graphs, one says 'BPD' at the top and one says 'FL'. Then there are measurments in 'mm' does anyone know what these are? I don't think its the size of bub as the measurements are too small.

fl might be fundal line - what length in mm are they?
I didn't get a report so can only guess.

FL is possibly femur length, I think.

no, it's this: (which I got from babycentre website)

Measurements of your baby's head circumference (HC) and diameter (biparietal diameter or BPD -- see image, below) are taken, along with the abdominal circumference (AC) and femur or thigh bone (FL), to date the pregnancy and to make sure your baby is growing normally. If there is more than seven days' difference between your scan dates and your dates according to your last monthly period (LMP) in the second trimester, the scan dates will be used from now on.
