    thanks for you support and thoughts grub and smithy. DH smsd me earlier said he was p**** off and frustrated that nothing is ever simple in this whole 'thing' with us. I said I didn't feel like that, just sad. With it being IVF there's no mistaking the dates... so it's either slow developing...or no longer with us. Last time the levels rose too slowly and we never got to the scan stage....I'm so worried that it's gonna leave us too.

    Anyway, sorry to bring people down, not my intention. I'll let you know when we get anymore news - another waiting game.

    I am not enjoying being back at work ... at all, and my boss has just left. So I've been doing lots of surfing and research... (happy days). Just had a look at your pics Smithy and I am really worried now. My belly is bigger at 6 weeks than yours was at 12!! I'm sooo chunky! I got down from 77kg to 62 for my wedding, promptly gained it all, lost it all again for our wedding anniversary (well, back to 65 anyway ). Then with the drugs, the pregnancy, the miscarriage, the drugs and now the sorest boobs in Christendom (i.e. no exercise for 5 months other than walking and swimming) means I am 70kgs again, and it's all on my belly. I was rubbing my belly the other day (it was contentedly full of a whole portion of red thai curry with veg and tofu)(and lots of rice) and DH pointed out that I looked about 30 weeks.

    my work trousers don't fit me today.... oh dear. Can't wait to get home and put something elasticated on.....

    Oh Airline you poor thing! Sending lots of up there for you. Perhaps it was just a late implanter? Oh I do hope there is some sort of reasonable explanation for this, I really do.

    LM: Don't stress too much hun, I was the same. Check out my pics! (Yes Ms Smithy, I've updated!) I popped out at 7 1/2 weeks. Now I look about 7 months Every time someone asks how far I am and I tell them I get the looks of shock and the "OMG how many are you having?". Except for one lovely lady in Coles the other day that told me I look small for 20 weeks, bless her.

    On another little sad note, that friend of mine that I was talking about recently, the one that was going for her 5th round? Well she messaged me today, it looks like AF arrived yesterday, they still have her BT tomorrow but she's pretty down about it. I just don't understand how they don't take. But thanks to those who sent little prayers & stickyvibes.

    Hey can anyone tell me, where can I post a little rant I have to make, where it will be private? I have something I want to get off my chest but "the forums have eyes" and there's certain people I don't want to read what I have to say (noone in this thread thankfully!). I know these people search the forums & read my posts and I don't want it available in general nor by searching my profile for "Find all posts by BOC". Is the Platinum section safe?

    Anyway hope you all have a good rest of the evening!

    hey boc, why don't you create a new/different log-in aside from your usual one to post your vent in the boohoo room (or where appropriate)

    LM - try not to worry too much about how big or small you are. Can't do anything about it anyway! lol. but it can be disconcerting. Been asked more than once if i'm having twins; another bloke asked if it was triplets and one lady literally had her mouth hanging open when i told her i still had 12 weeks left... she said incredulously "are you sure?"

    Just gotta let it slide. I find the weight thing very diffucult and am not at all coping that well about it... but at the end of the day, you can lose weight after bub gets here... (i lost 30kg about five years ago and would have nearly put all that back on atm ).

    bub is squirming himself silly today. he's definitely outta room now! 37 weeks!! had a crying melt down last night about dh not being here; being so huge; being so hot (no a/c in our room). But felt better afterwards.

    Yes the paintings are for bub's room.. didn't do any today, but i'm addicted.

    it's drizzly and cool here atm .. i'm going to sleep sooooo well tongith! yayaya.

    hi girls! ox

    LM - dont worry about what you look like. My belly is huge and I look like I am about 40 weeks but have put on a grand total of 2kg. So it doesnt really mean a thing, how big or small you are, as long as baby is growing away nicely. I can say baby in here is huge already. I feel like he is already running out of room as he is now squirming instead of kicking. sorry take that back he just gave me a nice big kick.

    Airline - I have everything crossed for you. I had slow rising HCG and here we are now 27 weeks later.

    Smithy hope you are feeling better. I have managed to come off my morning sickness tablets, I am not vomiting but sometimes feel a little quesy.

    AFM in absolute agony, Went to physio today and back on wed as when I slipped on DS toys last week I have really flared up my pelvis. Dam i was doing so well I have physio app out to every two weeks now it is back to every 2 days.

    Hope everyone is doing well, belly rubs to all.
