Cherished I'm so sorry, that is just devastating to both you and DH.

About the HCG, I would get the test just in case. Two reasons: 1) I had no heartbeat at my 6wk scan, and I was spotting with (small) clots. I (and my London Ob) thought it was all over, so I drank some wine, ate half a wheel of camembert. The next week, flew back to Aus, saw my Aussie ob, and there was a heartbeat on the scan. I don't want to give you false hope, but it is good to be sure. 2) If it is all over, It's good to know that that your HCG has gone back down to normal and that your body is coping. It's not much fun and you can always POAS later to make sure your HCG is back down I guess.

I'm so sorry that you have to go through this again. It's just not fair. You're such a strong chick to head to work after this. Take care of you both

Lee Not good that the MS & tiredness is knocking you about, but the midday naps sound lovely. Wish I could have a bit of that too! All the best for your NT scan tomorrow. Will be thinking of you. I totally understand that sweaty-palmed-deer-in-the-headlights feeling just before a scan. Do they do BTs as well for the NT risk?

Oh, and I won't be finding out whether monkey is sporting a cheeseburger/hot dog! I'm not really a pink-for-girl-blue-for-boy kinda girl. And in my culture, we're theoretically not meant to name or buy anything for the baby until it's born anyway. Not that we'll stick to that exactly. But I think we'll love it no matter what, so we'll just wait and see. Are you going to find out?

AFM I had an appt with the MW today, and the HB sounded good to me. Though she didn't do the 2nd of the NT bloods cos I'd been bleeding and apparently that can falsely push up the risk? Don't know why? If I keep bleeding, she said I should come in and see one of the Obs on Friday to try to figure out why I'm still bleeding (and still no exercise, no DTD). Otherwise NT bloods next week.
