Thank you so much to everyone who's done the "shout out" to me in the last couple of days. Your thoughts mean so much to me because you're almost the only ones who know!!

BG - you beat me to it, I was going to say I had a friend who was hospitalised for severe MS but you said it much more eloquently!
Kahlan - sorry that you're feeling lousy, although obviously not serious enough to be looking for a hospital bed so that's very good news . Thanks for your sticky thoughts ... I just hope bub hangs in there :-)
Alloy - welcome to the thread ... tough gig being in early pg around Chrissy and doing the "not drinking" thing ... hope you manage to survive your work do! Do your colleagues know you're pg or will you be having to disguise the fact you're not drinking?
M2C - a quiet congratulations and I hope all is well for you today ... welcome to the thread and you are here to stay.
LNB - thanks for your thoughts and I hope your MS doesn't give you too much trouble.

NicoleS, HM, TL - hi

AFM - still no MS or other symptoms but looking for all the positives ... no bleeding and only 4 more sleeps until next BT & scan. I have been researching low HCG levels and am feeling more confident that things might still be OK. Others who've had low HCG then blighted ovum or MC have generally been WAY lower levels than mine and out of three tables of week by week HCG levels that I found I am *just* within the lower limit of two out of three. I've decided that I am "borderline" rather than a lost cause!! Another positive from last week's scan - not ectopic! Hoping to see a stronger HB next Tues .
