well, it's time for me to dip my toe in here! i've finally had a positive result! woo hoo. from what we can gather, i'm five weeks or just on now - it's kinda hard to tell exactly when i ovulated due to having an IUI cycle, but we know we're somewhere around that mark! due somewhere around May 27th next year! already feeling horrific with MS (off to GP today to see what i can take to survive work - bought blackmores MS tabs and seabands today!)
have met some of you in other threads - others i'll get to know as we go - looking forward to sharing this journey for you
BW - very glad to hear that all is looking healthy and normal with bubs, that's wonderful news. And very exciting that you have your cot! I'm hoping we can get ours soon, just need to get all the mess out of the baby's room.
TL - best of luck for your scan tomorrow hun, it's so exciting! Mine also only too 10 minutes or so, and was over so quickly I hardly knew what I was looking at. My scan place didn't offer DVDs, but we got some 2D and 3D still shots on a CD. Can't wait to hear how it goes!!
Megan - I hope the countdown to your scan passes quickly, not too much longer to go now. The waiting is such torture. Sorry to hear you've been so sick - that sounds awful. Tonsilitis is dreadful at the best of times, let alone when you're pg. I hope you start to feel better very soon.
BG - yay! How lovely to see you in here - I've been hoping you were going to start posting in this thread! I hope you can find some relief from the terrible m/s soon.
I'm in the process of booking our doula, which is very exciting! Think I've been feeling movements from bubs as well, which is great. I haven't identified them as movements before, but I really think that they are, and not just gas. If that's the case, I've been having them for ages. My anterior placenta is really getting in the way though. Am hoping to do some work on the nursery this weekend.
Hi to everyone else, hope you're all doing marvellously and sending lots of

Congratulations BG Hope the m/s doesn't give you too much grief. My GP prescribed me maxalon but found I couldn't take it in the afternoon when I really needed it as it made me really drowsy. Not a good thing when you have to survive at work until 5 and then drive 45 minutes home. So I was just taking it at night when i got home as I seemed to suffer from afternoon and all night sickness the most. It has eased off now though. As awful as it is, it's reassuring while it's hanging around!
Just a quick post because I'm at work and on class - just wanted to bounce around a bit because BG is finally here with us!
When it comes to maxolon - I found that half tablets would take the edge off without knocking me out too severely...
And Devon, munchkin's room is FULL of mess which needs to be cleared out. I suspect the cot will stay flat-packed in its box for a while yet. Clearing out the room is my job for these school holidays... one more day to go...
BW - I'm so excited that BG is here too!! School hols sounds like a great time to set up munchkin's room. We've got a long weekend in WA this weekend, and DH and I have tomorrow off too - so I'm hoping we can get some clearing out done over the four days.
TL - All the best for the scan sweets. I've just heard that Lucky Strike has had a BFP, another one to join the band of merry LT-ers in this thread.
I get so emotional over the slightest things these days. I had tears when I read about LS's BFP, wathcing tv shows like "find my family", reading sceince fiction books, after DH and I have 'grown up cuddles' - I need to pull myself together.
i'm sure i'll get myself in here a bit more as time progresses - for now, i'm just kinda flitting in and out. hormone levels are reassuring that all is going ok - but i think i'll need to see a heartbeat to feel a bit better about it all!
and yeah, MS is reassuring - but it's NASTY! i am supposed to spend all day talking - very hard to breathe deeply through waves of nausea when you have to keep talking lol
BG - Great news Congrats
Bw - What a great school holiday project remeber to post some pics
Devon, Nxion, Possums Megan and Janie thanks for the feedback and good luck I really appreciate it 8.15 tommorrow is the scan time so should have something to post early morning
Congrats BG! Fantastic to see you in here and im glad the hormone results are coming back great
Linda - Good luck tomorrow hun cant wait to hear how that cheeky money is and see some pics!
Nixon - Good luck with the pulling together if not, who cares its your perogative to be emotional!
BW - Enjoy your last day of school, and then woohoo school holidays, good luck with the nursery!
Devon- Great news on the movements and good luck with the Doula.
Megan - Not long now until that scan! Cant wait to hear your news
Huge to Possums, Nixon, BW, Queen... and hopefully i haven't missed anyone!
Well we had our 30 week scan today and babies are both going well lots of kicking and carrying on, they are both doing really well and thanks to gestational diabetes have fattened up, the boy is weighing at 3"13 and the girlie is 3"8 so above average for their ages now, so i can completely understand why i am feeling kinda over it with 7 + pounds of baby in there! Somehow still managing to lose weight with the GD and now at 30 weeks have only put on 3kg. And manageing to keep my sugar levels ok with diet so far... oh and the best news of all......... 11 days of work left before maternity leave!!!! Woohooo!!
Hi everyone,
Have been MIA as have not been able to post for some reason, however have been keeping up with the thread. Glad to hear your scan went well TL and sorry to hear about your earlier stressors which I hope have now passed. I also had my 12wk scan and all appears to be going well for the babies. They look like little people now.
Wow Shannon that must be great to know your babies are growing well and glad to hear you are handling the gestational diabetes okay, albeit an extra hassle. Your maternity leave is well earnt! Enjoy.
Welcome to Brissygirl and Possums. A big congrats on your BFP, you must be quite relieved after all your efforts! Wishing you both a healthy and =) pregnancy.
Hi Devon, Nixon, megan and BW, hope you are travelling along well.
Had some great news regarding my mum who had a lump removed from her breast yesterday, it appears it has not spread anywhere and they may have caught it in time. Such a relief!
Anyway need to scoot off to work. Catch you all again soon.

I am mostly well, but in a foul and grumpy mood, so this won't be a long post. My OB appointment yesterday went well and she's really happy with the munchkin... I find out how unhappy she is with me next appointment (4 weeks) when we re-check the iron levels! I'm also seriously annoyed that I have to do another GTT (full on 2 hour torture regime) very soon. We'll re-check the iron levels then and if I don't hear from her I'm good... if they're really low, I'll have a phone call from her... ugh!
Anywah, headache from hell and there are so many teachers out that I can't go home. I've been sent away from assembly to sit quietly (and so the maths teacher that complains most about the noise in the staffroom yet won't shut his bloody mouth today) sneaks out of assembly and joins me! Seriously not happy (and in extreme pain!)
Finally DH and I got our BFP last Thursday on our second IVF cycle and I think we are both still in shock!!
There is still such a long way to go and hope this little one is nice and sticky...
I went this morning to get my levels checked again as I had a small spot around 3am this morning and HCG is at 427 and Progesterone is at 422 so far so good.
I am so excited to join you all and have seen several of you post in the AC threads in the past and want to wish all a H & H Pregnancy.
Looking forward to chatting with you all in the following months.
and I don't have that much hair anymore
