Hi Chrissie, happy belated birthday for yesterday, firstly! Sorry to hear you're coming down with a cold. I got one a few weeks ago which developed into a secondary sinus infection (prob because I'm on prednisone and therefore not much resistance to germs) so had to get a script of amoxil from the docs, and while I was there I got the flu jab, too - all free for PG women, which was good. I too am scared senseless about my nuchal scan. I had to book mine through a place on Wickham Street; it's not at my FS's clinic. But it's not until week 12 and 5 days! With the change in you EDD, it sounds like yours next Tuesday will be around about the same time - a little earlier, 12 weeks and 2 days? I am a little older than you, and once you hit that damn 35-year-age mark you become a virtual dinosaur in the fertility game, with increased risk of Downs etc. This time my FET embryos came from July last year, so I was then only 36. Still, I can't help worrying about whether everything is going to be okay, and if not whether to do the CVS or amniocentesis. Hard to believe tomorrow is week 11. I see my FS on Monday and I have a zillion questions to ask. I was thinking about going back to work week 12, but was only going to go back for two days and I figured that would be a little silly if I was upset about bad results with the nuchal scan. So I might take one more week off work and then start going back gradually from week 13. I haven't heard about this 4D thing related to the nuchal scan. Whereabouts are you going for yours? BTW, I pee about 20 times during the night - ridiculous! Think it eases up in the 2nd to get worse again in the 3rd!
Leabie, I can't see from this screen how far along you are, but you say your FS told you your bub's heartbeat. Wow! How exciting! What is an early "GTT"?
Renee, not long now - hopefully - till your MS is over? Must be very difficult when you feel nautious and you have to work through it. I haven't had the pizza yet; Dad's birthday is the Queen's holiday Monday week, but I think I'll probably play it safe and sniff everyone else's pizza
Maggie, that's great news about your Hcg level and the fact the bleeding has stopped.
Juniper, are you on any hormonal support ie prog pess which might be making you extra tired?
S'rose, he keeps mentioning it and it's really starting to turn me off. I know what others mean, though, about the transvaginal scan being shoved up there and turned all around (and it's not exactly on the small side) and yet then the FS says "no sex" but I'm thinking maybe it's also about orgasms as well (sorry if TMI; it's like when you're totally anonymous you can almost say anything; sorry if offending) that might be a bit of a worry when bubs are still attaching? I am so glad your DH will be at your next scan. Can I also be nosy here and ask whether you are on any prog pess support? I am whacked on so many drugs but still struggle to sleep - well definitely through the night but then struggle to have a nap. Can't turn my brain off, but then again I'm at home and not at work either.
Re movies, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was one of the best movies I have seen this year, but parts of it were quite disturbing. I think it's still on at some cinemas. I also loved Precious, but again parts were pretty full on. I was thinking about seeing Robin Hood at some stage.
Lise, thanks for review of SATC2? Think I'll also wait (FX) till 2nd tri to see it, as it does go for soooo long. Not long for you to go now, hey? Watch out to your DH
