Welcome Glenny! I got one of those lucky BFP on 1st attempt and definitely felt guilty announcing my news in the LTTTC thread but everyone was super supportive and told me I was silly for feeling guilty.
MissK - got a 'happy mum's day' from friends of ours that know I am pregnant, but not from DH himself. Bloody men.
Lise, thinking about the lack of MS, I am having fortnightly acupuncture that I have continued after the EPU/ET, so you might be right there with acupuncture helping. Good luck with your scan tomorrow too - how exciting!! I'm definitely aiming to not know the sex of ours. If we are lucky enough to get to baby#2 then maybe we will find out.
Brunette, glad to hear you are settled in the new house and that DH is still being nice and attentive. So happy that you heard the heartbeats again after the new bleeding, what a relief. I really wish I could get in to Bob as well, instead of Titiz next door. I doubt we would EVER get a 1hr appt with Titiz, he just wants to rush me out the door!!
What are the new baby books that you've checked out, I'm really bored with the two I have and they are totally different. One tells me the little munchkin is 1cm and the other says 2.5cm!
DH and I are heading up to Port Douglas and Cairns for a week tomorrow, his brother is getting hitched. FS has given us the 'no sex til week 12' talk due to the spotting I've had (which has now stopped!!) so unfortunately the trip wont be as great as DH was hoping - oh well ;-) Have so much running around tomorrow morning before we jump on the plane, have to put my gorgeous furbaby in a boarding kennel and there will be tears (I'm emotional enough as it is without having to say goodbye to my baby for a week).
So I had a look online at a few hospitals here in Brisbane, and based on websites North West Private at Everton Park seems to be really well equipped with spas and double headed massage showers in the birthing suites, and subject to availability double beds in the maternity ward. Any idea ladies on when I should start speaking to hospitals to book in? They have their classes that need to be booked by 15weeks so I have a bit of time up my sleeve there.
Hopefully I'll have wifi or broadband up in Port Douglas so I'll be able to jump on here more than I have been recently.
CK77- Thanks for the welcome. I see you and I are both with Dr Titiz! I have mixed feelings about him as well. I only went with him because when I was originally referred for FS Bob was a four month waiting list and I wasn't going to wait that long.
I think Titiz could use some work with his bedside manner for sure (But that's what Louise and Kris are for) but I have to say, I think technically he's very good. He did my lap surgeries and drilling as well and it's all made a big difference to my hormone levels. (I have PCOS as well as Endo)
If you really want to change over to Bob, I don't see why you can't. You might have to wait but you could prob see him by the 19th week scan and just keep seeing Dr Titiz in the mean time? When we started seeing him for the IVF, I wanted to change but I have changed my mind since.
I've been looking at North West as well. It's nice and handy for us and my family and every time I've been there (surgeries and IVF) the nurses and staff have been amazing! I'm not sure when you have to organise everything. I might ask Dr Titiz on Monday when I have my scan. (Actually, I'll ask Louise- she'll prob be more help.

Chrissy, I saw Bob this morning and thought of you as I walked past your dr's rooms. I am lucky to be able to see Bob as I was seeing him before changing to a different FS who got me UTD. In answer to some of your questions, I got some info on a lot of it this morning. You're right you can book into antenatal classes from 15 weeks onwards. Maybe we could book into the same antenatal class, as Bob delivers at North West, too. You are so organised already checking out the rooms. If you have to have a c-section, I wonder whether you get to go back to those double bed rooms with spas? Might check out the website, too. Re good books, I really liked What to Expect When You're Expecting (which I have read cover to cover, which Kris says is the only person she knows who has done that) plus I'm on my second multiples book. She told me no more reading and no more googling because it's more horror stories than good on Google - much to the relief of my DH! Enjoy your holiday in Port Douglas and Cairns. I'm the same as you - no sex until 12 weeks. They'll be all right - men!
Hey Glenny, funny that you're also seeing CK's doc and probably going to deliver at North West? Maybe we could all do the same antenatal class?
AFM, as I said, I saw Bob this morning and had another scan, 7 weeks and 5 days today. Still about 10mm blood around, but both twins are growing. One is slightly larger than the other: 16mm and 14mm and apparently you can see the beginnings of the placenta, little arm buds and egg yolk - at least bob could but we have a family snap now. Lots of info given to me by Kris about when to book in scans for Downs etc so bit to absorb but feel a lot better and more reassured now. I need to get onto a good iron supplement as anaemia can be an issue with multiples. Still confined to home till week 12 but Bob said I can sit in front of the computer and on the lounge - and I can even go out once a week with mum if I'm in a wheelchair to the shops to have a look around (really to claim back money from Medicare!) so I am very happy about that.
Hullo all. First of all, how bollocking freezing is it???? Serves me right for buying my maternity wear when I was 12 weeks. Had my 30 week visit today, now have visits at 33 weeks (doc), 36 (midw), 38 (doc), 40 (midw) and 41 (doc) weeks. Thought I'd share that as no one else had told me it, v frustratingly. Started my antenatal classes last night, how hilariously middle class and touchy feely that was. I nearly punched a man who kept saying things like "we're not having pain relief". No, you aren't no. That's because you're a man and aren't squeezing a 10cm bone mass out of your sexual organs. WE????? WE?????? jesus wept.
