leabie- hope your acupuncturist can get things going for you! wow, you are nearly there. Your advice about PUPO is good- I will try and think that way.

janie- thanks for your wishes xx

airline- i guess our subconscious minds play at all kinds of things in our dreams! sorry about the varicose veins ...I hope also they fade down the track

afm: Yay, today's blood test results, show that at 6 weeks and 2 days:

HCG: 19,050 (up from 3900 a week ago)
Prog: 516 (550 a week ago- and from today I am now totally off the crinone)

DH and I are very relieved and happy.
Week at a time...
