    Dusty, sorry that you have to go through this now as well. I have everything crossed for you that your munchkin is in that 10-15% and is able to hold on. Thinking of you.

    dusty,
    i am just hoping and praying that your little one had a slow start! ( like mine )
    you have a great result, you have a little baby in there with a heartbeat, thats better then the last scan you had! so you are still heading in the right direction. Munchkin is a fighter and he/she is hanging on and will continue to hang on till august next year.

    so instead of saying i am sorry, i am going to say congrats hun
    you have grown a little baby with a heart beat and like you said in your journal, thats an amazing achievement and i totally agree!!!!

    i am so proud of you! i love your attitude and the way you are looking at this. You have done an amazing job and whatever happens, you know that you have done absolutely everything in your power.

    i hope you have a wonderful holiday

    take care hun xxx

    Hello everyone.... can I come back in here and join you now? I'm pregnant!!!! Still in shock that we have been granted a natural Christmas miracle. We did not expect this at all and when the two lines appeared on my HPT this morning, I could hardly believe my eyes....confirmed with a BT today. Am having brown spotting, but my nurse thinks it's most likely implantation bleeding as I am 12 or 13 DPO, so very early days!

    We feel excited and shocked and also nervous and scared that it will be ectopic ( a real risk for me with TTC naturally)...or that it won't stick with us....but I guess I can't live each day in fear and need to try and enjoy my pregnancy too...which is why I decided to come in and post (thanks for the nudge Janie) as I know you ladies will help me along.

    Dusty- posted in your journal too, but sending you my very best and hoping your little munchkin fights on and stays with you

    Bel...big hugs to you my friend...it's been a stressful time for you and I hope it eases so you can enjoy being pregnant

    everyone else...I will try and catch up from here...although I have been checking in from time to time, so hopefully I am not too far behind.

    I hope I can stay here for the next 8 months or so ....... to think we nearly didn't bother trying this month, thinking it wouldn't happen anyway and we were both sick with the flu at ovulation time and not exactly in the mood ....glad we did!!!

    try not to worry to much about the spotting, i had my af last month and i started spotting the other day ( af is due tomorrow). But i am trying not to let it bother me, i am going to enjoy each day with this little one and whatever happens happens, nothing more i can do, then what i already am doing.

    enjoy hun, so very excited for you

    Possums - congratulaions, what a Christmas blessing for you. So happy for you.

    Bel - hoping you are doing ok, good luck for your scan today

    AFM - 12 week scan today and very excited and nervous. It is my scan without DH so I'm sure I will be a wreck by the time I get there ! Bloods came back all good, a bit low in Vitamin D but that was it.

    Take care everyone,

    Hooray Possums! So very happy for your little Christmas miracle - Well done to you and DH. We are all here to support you for the next 8 months. This is your time!

    Nicole - GL with OB appointment today.

    LNB - Wow 12 week scan! Enjoy it hun - it really is amzing to see how much your little one looks like a baby by 12 weeks. Can't wait to hear all about it.

    TL - drink a cold sugary drink (like fruit juice) and lie on your left hand side if you are worried about movements being a little less than normal. I have had a couple of ocassions where I have freaked a bit about the movements being not as much. I'm sure Charlotte is just a little tired today and catching up on some sleep.

    Hi to everyone else, hoping you are all well and enjoying the last couple of days before Christmas. Just think ladies - next Christmas we will all have our little miracles in our arms. How exciting is that!

    Hi -

    Just back from the scan and everything is perfect ! I cried through the whole thing but saw our perfect little baby. All measurements completely normal. Downs results were fantastic for my age, risk dropped to 1 : 3000 so we are thrilled.

    Called DH from the DR's rooms and was still crying, poor thing thought something was wrong, just an emotional wife

    DH is telling his family in the states tonight and I am off to QLD tomorrow to share the wonderful news with my family. What a very blessed Christmas this year.

    Wishing all the wonderful ladies here a very happy, safe and joy filled festive season.

    Take care everyone,
    LNB

    TL, Charlotte is probably just have a couple of down days. I noticed it myself the last couple of days. I had felt the occassional movement and then all of a sudden last night he started booting me in the bladder and right down near my cervix (ouch!) and he's been on the go ever since! He definitely has his quiet days though.

    I just wanted to stop in and wish everyone of you a very lovely and stress free christmas and new year. I'll probably be back on tomorrow, but not 100% sure. Heading to Canberra for Christmas and leaving at lunch time.

    I am so over working in the city at Christmas time. Went downstairs to get lunch, it was raining, couldn't be bothered going back up to get umbrella, almost get pushed over at the lights, pass thru underground center to avoid rain, come out the doors back onto street and almost get burnt with a cigarette by a girl having a great old chat right in the doorway to the centre, work people annoying the bejeezus out of me, have to pick up turkey & pork from butchers this arvo, pick up my mum's present for my dad on the way home as well, husbands christmas party tonight, AAARRRRRGHGHGHGHGHGHG. OVER IT.

    Poor baby must be so not happy at the moment with the stress I feel under at work. I haven't felt any movement for a while. At least not as regular as Iit was starting to get. Had an Ob appointment yesterday, so I know things are ok, it's just I don't like inflicting this stress on my little innocent.

    Think I'm going to go home now and do some relaxation exercises....

    My post did start off quite positive.....sorry.

    hi ladies

    i'm very excited to be posting for the first time in this thread (after being in the LTTTC thread for some time).

    I was in the dreaded TWW with Possums (yee-ha for Possums!!) and we both had some great pre-Christmas news.

    I had a BFP last Friday and then a BT yesterday (15 DPO and HCG 564). I'm very excited - but staying cautious as well. My 7 week scan is booked for 12 Jan, so I'll be trying to stay relaxed till then.

    Looking forward to getting to know everyone in here over coming months!
