Hi ladies..hope you've had a good day. I just got back from acupuncture which really helped me relax and connect with our little one...now known as Flicker... after DH's nickname has stuck (after the flickering heartbeat)... I sent so much energy to our baby...keep growing and be strong! Hanging on to the positive approach... and thinking i might see if i can bring that next scan forward a bit earlier...
HI all and isn't there alot of us now, that's great!
Possums I love that you have called your bub 'flicker' and wish I could come up with an equally quirky name for my two. My MIL keeps calling them jack and Jill which I don't appreciate much. I have everything crossed that all will be okay for you and DH with Flicker. It sounds like your clinic does alot of BT'ing. I had two more after the initial BFP. It is because of the levels? I had a scare at around 6wks with x2 bleeds and everything turned out okay, we were very surprised to see two babies growing. I really hope all is ok.
Shannon: how many weeks are you at the moment? just wondering after you mentioned you are measuring at 38wks. I have a vested interest as I am wondering how big I will get. My friend sent me an email and probably didn't realise it would freak me out. It was of a lady having triplets and her tummy growing, then afterwards. It was pretty scary.
Nixon: sorry to hear your grandma passed away recently. Hope you are okay.
Hi to everyone else and hope you are all travelling along well.
AFM: I have my first OB appointment next week. I had a previous appointment at the hospital and they rammed breast feeding down my throat. I felt quite overwhelmed when I left. It was like they assumed I was not going to do it and were out to convince me into it. I am quite open to the option, however now feel like I will be a failure if it doesn't work for any reason. Otherwise MS is gradually starting to disapate, however I am tired alot of the time. I am lucky that I work casually and can take or leave the work depending on how I feel. They have been really flexible around my needs now and during IVF.
Hi Queenh- good to hear things are going well and hope that first OB appt goes well. Some clinics/nurses can be a bit forceful/militant...you just always do what's right for you...and I am sure we all hope to breastfeed, but if for some reason we can't- that will be OK. I guess you do have so many more little worries and wonders come into your mind with having two peas in a pod
Yes, it's the levels they are worried about with me... this was my 3rd (and to be final) BT after the initial BFP test. The levels were at 8600, then only went to 10,500...which wasn't much of a rise and got the IVF nurse and then my OB concerned...even though they also said things could turn around and be ok, especially as we did already see a heartbeat last Friday...they were just a bit worried by those results that it's a sign of a problem as the levels should have jumped a lot more, which of course sent me into a tailspin. It's just a waiting game now and I figure the best I can do is be positive, for me and for our little Flicker.
I'm off to Canberra this arvo for the funeral tomorrow. I'm feeling a lot better now. Thanks Janie, Megan, Queenh and any one else I have missed for your thoughts and wishes.
Queenh - Maybe all the girls could submit ideas for nicknames for your dynamic duo? Then if you see one you like you could start using it?
Possums - I'm feeling the positive vibes are back with you. I'm glad. I hope this week flies by for you.
Anyway - speak to you next week....have a great weekend.

take care on your trip Nic - and remember to look after YOU and the sneak, as well as everyone else!
AFM - when does the icky queasiness go away? the last couple of days have been horrific - i just want to be able to throw up to be honest, but i can't seem to let go - am feeling so awful! spent a good hour last night with my head over a bucket - and NOTHIN! not loving it - would be easier if i could just be sick i'm sure, but nope, i have a very well trained body that doesn't like to let go (damn that upchuck phobia!). im still eating, just feeling ordinary - had to take maxalon just so i could sleep last night..... i guess it gives me confidence that the Gremlin is growing nicely - and that we definitely chose the right name in the Gremlin! apart from that, i'm starting to get excited - going on what i've worked out, i'm now about 7 weeks - woo hoo! will be good to hear what the FS has to say about EDD next week seeing my dates and the U/S don't match by a few days!
Possums, I'm glad to hear you are feeling better and more positive after your ap session. It certainly can't hurt to ask about possibly having an earlier scan. I would probably do the same as Friday week feels like an age away for you to have to wait. Good luck.
Nic, so sorry for the loss of your grandma. I have recently been through a similar loss which is still quite raw for me as well. Sending you lots of strength for the funeral. You are truly blessed to have had those final moments with her and to have had such a lovely relationship. Something for you to always treasure. Big
