    Yes, hcg and also progesterone. Some women need ongoing prog pessaries still, but my levels have been fine since I stopped them.

    I did another hpt a few days later too! You just really need the reassurance at this stage.

    My ultrasound is booked for 4th March. Feels like ages away!
    My GP called me today and I have to start prophylactic clexane injections. I've had blod clots in the past and have a gene that makes me clot more. I'll see a haematologist in a few weeks.
    Have you told anyone "in real life", Pholi? I blabbed to three ppl at work today which I'm kinda regretting now. :/

    So excited to finally meet this lil one after so many losses and so many yrs of fertility treatments!
    Yaay all over!!!
    Welcome pholi and spoons :-) I hope your stay is long and you get very uncomfy at the end like me I will leave you both lots of baby dust :-D ********** uncomfy means healthy baby!
    That's what I tell myself now I have to try n get what sleep I can propped up against the wall so I can breathe!

    You girls just take it one day at a time and try to stay positive that's the only way to get through the early days of tests n scans xox

    How's your gorgeous lil boy going now mildez? :-)

    Lovely to hear from you Sarah. So nice to see you due to have bub any day now. My little boy is going incredibly well. We are so thrilled he has joined the family. His sisters love him to pieces too.

    Spoons the 4th March will come soon enough. Those early weeks however go so slowly. I don't know what.s harder. The very beginning or the very end.

    Pholi congratulations on your pregnancy. Have you had a scan? I hope your all feeling well.

    Hello hopeful mum and congrats! Would you be about 4-5 weeks? Are you having any further blood tests? I bet you're on the count down til 18th March! I know I was.
    I had my scan on Friday at 6w4d and we saw the heartbeat flickering away. I've been very tired and a bit nauseous, sore boobs too.

    Hi spoons. Yes I'm 5weeks on Tuesday coming. I have bt's for 4th and 11th Mar. Going to be doing poas the day before just to keep me sane.

    Wonderful to see that your scan went well and that you got to see bubs' heartbeat:-) It's a beautiful thing to see. Fx that the rest of your pregnancy goes well.

    Pholi, good luck for your wed week scan. Fx that it all goes well and that you see your little ones' heartbeat too :-)

    Spoons, Pholi and Hopeful Mum, yay!!!!! So glad to see you guys in here. I have been following the other thread the entire time. Congratulations and wishing you all the very best for uneventful healthy pregnancies. It can seem such a long haul at this point, with all the anxiety/symptoms or lack of and it is just really really tough. One breath at a time, I sometimes got down to. Like it was one day, then one minute, then just this one moment. Just hope this time just zips by for you all, and/or you enjoy every minute.

    Mildez, I have been following all your posts too, here and in the other thread. How's your little boy going? It sounds like you have a really wonderful connection. I am so glad for you.

    AFM, I am 37 weeks on Friday and I will get the cervical stitch out next week. We will wait for labour to start, and then if it hasn't started, I can wait til 41 weeks and either be induced or just opt for C-section. My OB is very kind and supportive and has said I can opt for C-section at any time really (I mean, after 38 weeks or so). I have had anxiety and ante-natal depression symptoms coming and going, including CP (chronic pain) and it has been so bad at points that I have asked my psych about starting medication (though TBH I never found an AD (or a pain killer) that really worked for me, especially since I have a family background of bipolar so for my brain, I need a mood stabilizer as well and these are not great for preg/BF). There have been a lot of stressors including my best friend being hospitalized for a kind of psychotic/manic break (and she has MS and is newly pregnant which is a really big deal bc she had to go off her drugs to become pregnant and this is dangerous for MS). Anyway, a lot of fear issues are being raised (I was in the mother-baby unit with my daughter). Sorry, this has turned into a large purge. I am seeing a lovely psychologist for mindfulness/CBT therapy and my peri-natal psych and my lovely OB. So I am well looked after. But those tough days are hard! Very hard. I sometimes withdraw and cannot post or I can't sit and type because too sore.

    Wishing everyone some peace and calm during this time, and more excitement down the track at delivery.

    lots of love,
    WW
