    Hi ladies,
    BG that is wonderful news for you. I am so happy for you.

    I am feeling kind of naughty posting here as I am still TTC, but have been looking longingly at your posts, I know most of your stories and my heart cries with happiness for you all. You so deserve it. Anyway I just wanted to say how lovely I think it is that you still have each other here, in this next step, and while all us TTCers are just focussed on that BFP, I can see that both the worry and the good news doesn't end with a BFP. And so it shouldn't. I am waiting with baited breath until it is my turn too and I can join you here.

    Wishing you all the best.

    BG that is excellent that all went well on your scan. Congratulations!
    The measurements are all just estimates, so you always expect a small variance.
    With my DD my U/S showed she was 4 days younger then what I expected based on my LMS. The obst just made that my new EDD and we went by that after the 6 week U/S.

    Well what a start to a weekend! I am happy things went well.

    Possums, I hope you U/S is just as perfect!

    i'm kinda liking the idea of using the second date as EDD as it will actually put me due early June - which means i have longer before any potential intervention! i figured with AC you can be relatively sure of dates though, so will let the FS put the final label on EDD... may as well let him have SOME part of it seeing it was IUI and the only thing he did was sign the form with the dosage of drugs i said i wanted, and the nurse did the rest!

    BG- great news!!! Very pleased for you...I was so nervous too, I felt sick

    afm- we have good news too! there was a heartbeat...our little one was pulsing away...a little flickering blob on the screen. The heart rate was 108BPM and I dont know how that compares to where it should be (the guy doing the scan didnt say much on that point and said I should ask my Dr questions)....
    and we also measured a bit smaller than we thought...we were 6 weeks 5 days, but our little possum was measuring about 6 weeks 1 day. I was a bit worried, but reading on here it sounds like thats OK?? I thought with IVF it would be pretty much spot on, but I guess there can be lots of variances.

    So we are really pleased. Phew. I will see my OB on tuesday...hopefully we can have another scan in another couple of weeks before the 12 week one.

    Possums that is fantastic news!!!

    our nurse said that a mild difference in size is ok - they are just an estimate based on averages, so maybe we both have small bubbas!! and our baby had heartbeat of 99 which they said was fine as well! would be great if the sonographers were a little more forthcoming with information wouldn't it??

    my next FS appointment isn't for 10 days - and the nurse has been out of contact due to her MIL being in hospital - so it was a massive relief when she rang back before we even got out of the car park today!

    Big yeeeeeehaaaaaa Possums and BG
    Sounds great, anything over 80 BPM at this stage is good and yes can be variations with size as it is so small and hard to measure.
    Just sooooo happy for you both its wonderful news, i have been out all day and dying to get back and see how you went!!!!!!
    WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Possums that is great news! You must be so releived everything is OK.
    Its hard not to worry though, I am constantly worrying that everything is OK. I am trying to eat & and drink and take care of myself and do everything right! I'll feel much better after my 6 week scan too.

    Well congratulations again and have a great weekend! You and BG should be very happy after such a positive day.

    Wow this thread has picked up some pace

    BG & Possums congrats on your fantastic scan results its so nice to see that little babys heart flickering away!

    Megan - Good Luck on monday i am sure bubs will just be perfect! Is this 12 weeks?

    Huge to everyone and i will try and stay more upto date!

    Things here are good i have one week left at work which is why my posting has been minimal i have my replcement looking over my shoulder everyday and by the time i get home all i want to do is sleep!

    We had a check up yesterday and babies are perfect, belly is measuing at 38 weeks which is why i am so uncomfortable and am getting braxton hicks all day everyday ranging between 10 - 20 mins apart and they do bloody hurt whoever made up the rumour that they dont! Our presenting twin is head down so we are now slightly getting the chance to think about a vaginal delivery which is a little daunting thinking i have to push these two out in the next 6 weeks! Its too late to turn back now!

    Have a lovely weekend!
