Dory: Glad your furbaby is gonna be ok, we got George when we lived in Hong Kong and had to pay a few grand to bring him back to Australia, despite the money it was a pretty easy decision! I'm sure you'll be giving him lots and lots of cuddles and getting lots and lots of purrs and sniffy kisses.
Murray: All the reading I've done since my last bloods didn't double says that your levels are just fine! Perfect in fact It's all going to be ok!
Possum: So exciting to have us in here! Eeeee! Got any more symptoms kicking in yet?
HPL: I aint working, lol. Well, I'm studying, actually at the moment I'm systematically working my way through all the Jane Austen novels, realised that if I lived in those times I'd be all trussed up in a corset and would really have to try and curb my tendency towards burping (when it's burping or throwing up, I'll take the burp). Not fond of cucumber sandwiches either. And walking 4 hours a day? So count that out. Hmm, that got a bit ranty, lol. I think you'll know when it's time to stop work. Uni finishes in nov/dec so that will be around 36 weeks for me!
Audax: I can't believe how far along you are! Freaking awesome honey
AFM, I'm still finding it hard. I feel like if I tell myself I'm bringing home a baby in January then I'll jinx it, although one of the nicest things DH said to me was that God/Universe knows how much we love each other, and knows how much we will love this baby, and they want us to pass on that love and be happy. Bit of a hippy sometimes my man, lol. Still concerned about the hcg levels, but I dont wanna keep checking them cos if they do drop, that can be normal and I'd be freaking out for no reason. Just waiting til my scan in 2 weeks (11 weeks scan). Still have morning sickness, although it's night sickness for me, and my boobs are doing such interesting things! DH is amazing, he's doing all the cleaning and cooking, leaves me orange slices beside the bed before he leaves for work in the morning and has such unfailing confidence that we are having this baby that it just makes me love him more. I feel both very lucky and incredibly scared.
HPL - thankyou! I gave up about 7/8 weeks on Obs advice this time. One of the better things Ive done. Though previously had planned to give up between 32-36 weeks for Amelia. For the twins I was on a gradually reducing work days plan which saw me giving up at 28 weeks.
Kit - I still think of your George when my fur baby is in the highest platform of the highest tower of the cat tower. $ is not an issue for the treatment, thankgod. More risks to baby and me are the concern. tbh - I know what you mean - even now - I still wonder if DH and I will really be able to bring this bub home, but I still day dream about it and make little plans. I think those fears will only resolve when bubs is here in our arms, healthy. Then the next part of the journey starts.I am loving your DH - gold star for his care of you and his belief. Hold on to him, he's a keeper. Hope the m/s resolves soon - if your're lucky by the time of your scan ..... Its awesome but anxiety provoking. Can you remind me closer to the date?
Hiya to Elise, Mo4, possum, crumpet, Ric, TCCALC (are you in here?), and of course anyone I have unintentionally missed. Thinking of you.
I got my last test BT results and the level is still rising and now at 34,000. It certainly isn't doubling every couple of days but they slow down around the 6th week don't they? My test on 03/06 was 19,300 and the next was on 08/06 and that was 34,000. It has me a bit worried as I know my doctor thinks this is likely to be a blighted ovum again because of the brown spotting. This is such a roller coaster. I was so pleased when I heard they were still rising but sunk right down when I realised it hadn't even doubled in 5 days.
SammyP: HCG levels aren't the most reliable indicator, your scan is more likely to give you more information. Remember that there is a huge variation of HCG levels and rising is still rising! I read that once they get past 6000 they take much longer to double. Just hold onto hope. *hugs*
After gathering all the strength of the world and encouragement from Dory,
I am finally joining in to the Pregnancy thread today -I hope and wish everyone's journey in the thread is smooth and support each other in such a wonderful journey together.
To start - those who already know me from TTC after M/L thread - I am Ric 9 weeks pregnant and went for my u/s yesterday and saw a tiny bub in my womb with strong Heartbeat and now feeling littlebit confident now. Resting at home and trying to think positive about everything.
MurrayCod, Kit, Possam Magic, SammyP, MillyD = hello all
Dory, Eliselouise, Snugglybean - How are you doing ladies?
I think I should get a Pregnancy Ticker now.
Take care all,
Ric

Ric! Hi! I've been waiting for you! How have you been going? Hope you are well, and being well looked after.
Sammy - I understand your worry. Man that's tough, and I hope you get some good answers soon.
Hearing what you guys have to say about work, I'm thinking increasingly that i will drop full time work from 20 or 22 weeks, then go casual, so do 1-3 days a week of shorter hours. For as long as I want to. I still ride my bike to work, so don't know how long I will do that for. I do love it. Talked to DH about finance, and he's happy for me to stop any time. We've planned for 3 more weeks, but then nothing, so if I do 4-6 more weeks and then a few odd hours, that will definitely be welcome.
It's all going to be ok!
