thanks for the tips LM. I opened the crystalised ginger in Woolies on my way round...couldn't wait!

mitf - good to see/read you again! How exciting for you and DH, seeing your sooo desired little one. I can understand why you're bursting to share your fantastic news m'dear.

grub- thanks for the tick tip...that was my furbaby who had one. luckily she's shorthaired and we spotted it quickly. ooh it's all getting close for you !!!! how exciting!

smithy - thank you all hugs received gratefully.

afm - well FS did another transvag. scan and he and DH spent ages trying to determine if a. they could see a pole b. something was pulsating the longer I lay there...the worse I felt, but kept it under wraps. FS said, I prefer to see what nature has in store, so I had another hcg today, results tom. and we have to wait till the 9th Dec for our next scan DH is really disappointed... as am I. we just wanted to 'enjoy it like normal people, not IVFers who've already been for 50 BTs and been invaded by so many people I've lost count.

Sorry girls, lost it there for a minute. Anyway...the ginger seems to have worked and the nausea has gone....almost wish it hadn't, cos it was a positive sign (can't please some folk hey!)

Right gonna go and chill out, go to bed as usual between 8.30 and 9pm. Sleep well ladies. x
