    Hi Tashybabe,
    Sorry to hear about the spotting. I am on 200mg progesterone 2x a day in pesseries because I have naturally low progesterone and this may have been the cause of my m/cs. I was told they won't stop a m/c if the baby just isn't right but it will help a good bub stick if low progesterone is the problem. Hope that helps might be worth mentioning or even requesting from your midwife. Very best of luck

    Sunbeam well done

    Cherished I remember all those symptoms and how much I loved them : I will put a pic of my cust up when it's painted, a bit boring atm.

    Smallfry I love the idea of DS and a hand print on your cast. I still think there are just as many + and - for working vs not working. and no matter which side you're on there are headaches.

    Milly goodluck and hope you can stay sane for the next couple of days.

    Tash for you

    zstar it's great when you can see bubs move, very big time waister. oh and at 37 weeks NO MORE TESTS (hope that is something to look forward to) I hate blood tests, so glad they're over.

    ATM my head is full so I'm up instead of in bed. DH crashed at10 when we went to bed. He's a bit burnt out with work being so busy. He's not complaining but I know he's tired.

    My friend arrives from Darwin tomorrow for some girl time and my Birthday Monday. I'm looking forward to a bit of shopping (pain permitting) and just having someone to chat with.

    Congrats Milly! It's awesome to see you in here!

    Tashy - I know the spotting is worrisome but wow your HCG levels look great. Hopefully the low progesterone is nothing to worry about and your Dr can sort you out. I had 3 bleeds during my PG with DS and have had 2 already with this one so it doesn't always mean something bad. I have all my fingers crossed for you though that your blood work goes well on Monday.

    Greenslw - Have a great time with your friend and Happy Birthday a few days early!

    Hi girls,

    Tashybabe-how did you go with the midwife? I hope its all okay.

    I am currently anxiously waiting to get second bt results back. Had to get some more progesterone pesseries so I figured I might as well get my bt while I was there. Been trying to make a commitment to myself that if the numbers are good this time I will relax and just believe that I am at the start of a happy healthy pregnancy that will bring me a beautiful bubby. In all the wishing to be pregnant again I had forgoten how stressful it then is in the early weeks. Felt really rough before bed last night then had some strongish cramps around 2am, I hope it is just my uterus getting a bit bigger. Feel fine today so looking forward to good results.

    Cherished and Milly how are you feeling?

    I totally know what you mean Sunbeam about how stressful the early weeks are! I also had strong cramps and pinches early on and some bleeding every two weeks after 6 weeks and up to 12 weeks. Gosh did I worry/cry/stress/mourn, but it was all for nothing in the end. It was my body growing and adjusting. Every woman and pregnancy is different. You are so smart to know not to stress. Of course you will analyse little things and pay more attention, but in the end its out of our hands and only in our hearts. Dont know about you but my MS and tingly boobies didnt start until 7-8 weeks, so enjoy it while it lasts and celebrate it when it starts!

    Well my bliss was short lived and my gut instinct was right. My hcg has falled from 50 to 8 so this bub is not going to stick
