Panda - I hear you on the painful bowel motions! OUCH! The only time it's ever been worse was when I was all bloated and swollen with the OHSS. Wishing you all the best with your scan tomorrow, too. It really is amazing to see - even if it is only a tiny speck at this stage.

I finally found a really effective help for the morning sickness - sea bands! They've pretty much zapped it out of existance for now... and without having to load myself full of sugar! DH honestly didn't think they'd work, but was really surprised when I emerged from bed with a smile on my face rather than looking green and lurking near the bathroom while I nibble on a handful of gingernuts!

I've been reflecting on something my FS said yesterday... along the lines of yes, miscarriages do sometimes happen, but we've got you pregnant once, we can certainly do it again. Normally, I'd be really upset to be hearing something like that, but I've actually found it extremely encouraging to hear. Now when I sit back and think about what we went through with IVF - with all the bleeding, the not responding to all the different drugs, the OHSS... For someone who was shaping up to be a real problem patient, in the end getting pregnant was so amazingly simple and problem-free.

I really think it's strange that something that would have had me in tears and freaking out, is now a really encouraging thought.
