    Just a quick hello from me, ladies...

    Work is still really full-on, and I'm just exhausted. Only 8 more days of teaching to go and then I can rest, and they can't go quickly enough for me! I'm seriously thinking of making it 7 - there's one day where I'm out in the morning for an appointment and I'd get back for only one lesson - I'm tempted to make it a whole day out to just rest rather than running myself completely into the ground...

    Also feeling a little out of place - there's so many of you in early pregnancy that it seems somehow strange complaining about my son's nasty habit of sticking his feet in my rib cage (grrrr! mention it and he does it!) and stopping me from moving when everyone else is dealing with the presence or absence of morning sickness!

    I think I've also realised just how close to crunch time we are... it's Miss C then me, then a few in late January... unless there's someone hiding more than me that is due earlier. It's so close, yet so far away... I'd happily have this baby tomorrow, if I could! Not just to get his feet out of my ribs, but because I so desperately want to meet him. Still got a lot of issues to work through surrounding birth, so I think I may need every moment of the 7 weeks left to mentally prepare myself for it!

    hey ladies

    just want to say thank you for you warm welcomes, the bleeding hasnt gotten any worse BUT i am still bleeding (tmi alert) yesterday the brown blood was coming out on to the panty liner, but today its not coming out as much so hopefully things will start to slow down. i have also had a really bad case of diahorria (sp?) today, and so i rang the clinic and asked if there was any chance i could have a bt tomorrow to check on things, so i will be going for that first thing tomorrow and hopefully tomorrow afternoon i will know what is going on, if this bubba/'s have decided to stick around.

    i really hope that i dont miscarry, its taken me soooooo long to get this bfp i really dont want to lose them/it now. please god help this miracle stick please,please,please

    Hi Everyone

    Popped in for a quick hello, sorry I haven't been on much lateley, but b/w work, lead up to xmas and just being very tired, I have bareley logged in lateley.

    Cant do personals as I havent read all the posts properly, but big congratulations to the new pregnant ladies. Alloy and M2C wishing you all the best in your pregnancy.

    Sorry if I have missed any other newbies, but have barely read the posts lateley.

    AFM all is well, my clothes are all tight and am struggling to wear my normal clothes. I seem to have gotten bigger earlier this time around, which I beleive is normal after your 1st pregnancy.

    Anyway big hello to everyone and hope you enjoy your weekend.

    to all!

    i cant believe it BUT my levels are still rising

    Ivf nurse just rang and said that my levels are now 237hcg and my progesterone is 60 she said that the other day my progesterone was really low it was 15 and 48hrs later there 60

    the nures said she is REALLY REALLY happy with these results and i have to have another bt on tuesday ( my god thats so far away)

    i am still bleeding and i am so confused, i have had 2 miscarriages before and this is nothing like them, i dont have any cramps or pains and the bleeding isnt heavy, well actually its strange cos one minute i will do a wee and there will be no blood, but then the next time i go and do a wee there is a fair bit of blood??????? and thats how its sort of been, one minute theres blood next minute there's not, its all so confusing.

    i asked the nurse is there any chance that i could be pregnant with twins and that i am just losing one of them and she said that could be very well possible and she also said i might be one of those women that bleed throughout there pregnancy and she also said that this bleeding might not even be pregnancy related, so we just have to sit tight until tuesday to see what my levels are doing and then if all is rising i will be getting an early scan done to see why i am bleeding.

    thank you so much for you support and kind words, i dont know what i would do without your help

    Mummy 2 Chloe - That is great news sweetie it sounds like you are spotting like I did sometime there was nothing and sometimes a bit. My FS and OB said the blood would mix with the CM so the levels would change.

    thanks tiggerlinda

    can i ask you a quick question? when you were bleeding, what colour was it ( if you dont mind me asking) its just that sometimes mine is brown and other times its a redish colour and did you have bleeds that were heavy ( well not heavy like a period but a fair bit of bloody on the toilet paper when you wiped) and then a couple of hours later have nothing??

    i am just so scared
