Bonham08 - sweetie big hugs.... you are stronger than you know.
TwinSis - sorry to hear about the ms. My GF's ob reckons the sicker the better, so maybe that's something? what meds are you on? has the weather warmed up yet for you?
Subeam - good to see you in here! And that you are have a sense of calm at the moment. Hope those levels go through the roof.
Cherished - reading your post about your scan is exactly what I needed to hear - the pure excitment in your post is something I needed today - so thanks for sharing.
To everyone else, I am feeling a bit too self absorbed today to really say too much and give many persies. I enjoy reading your posts. Milly and the others approaching their milestones, good luck. It does help with your confidence to reach them. H&H g to you all.
AFM - Yesterday arvo I thought I was going to rejoin TTCAMCAL, as I had bleeding and passed some clots, one of which was a fair size. I was convinced I was having a m/c, as I have never had bleeding this early before, and not with clots, and any bleeding I have had has always lead to mc. I rang my ob and made an urgent appointment for me to come in yesterday arvo. Anyway, much to my surprise and delight I got some news I didn't expect - bubs was ok, the heartbeat was good and everything else looked ok. It was such a relief. I am at home now for a few days as the ob said it was better to take it easy. I was feeling quite positive after the appointment and this morning, and thankful that in this moment right now I am pg and it appears healthy No guarantees especially with my history, but I had found some peace. This afternoon.... not so much. No more bleeding, or if there is its brown old stuff and there is very little of it. It's probably just very light spotting. But I just have a very real sense of foreboding and I am frightened and there is nothing I can do. I know what will be will be, I am just frightened. And because this blip has occurred a different time to previously, and given it is so early in the pregnancy 7 weeks today, the odds are not in my favour. I am normally a pretty positive person but this afternoon, geez, this is hard stuff. Despite my best efforts I keep remembering what it was like when I miscarried most recent twin pregnancy, with Nicholas at 14 weeks and Sophie 4-5 weeks later at 19 weeks. it's pretty hard not to feel sorry for myself and not to be hypersensitive and hyper vigilant to any twinges, changes in my MS, which there has been some.... anyway.......
There are some positives. And for those of you who know me from elsewhere, I feel so blessed to have my ob. He and his staff always make time for me. Always. It's nice to have confidence in your ob and to actually respect them as a person. I am just on the edge of a very dark place and I don't want to fall into it right now.
I feel like a baked potato too - thanks small fry plus.No really, thankyou what a good idea and what good comfort food.
I have been MIA lately as I have come to the big smoke for work so I don't have access to a computer (except at work and I don't want to get busted).
Cherished - It is great to hear all of your encouraging news - so excited for you and your sticky bean.
Bonham - take your time to process your news - one day at a time.
Sunbeam - great to see you back here so quickly for a sticky one this time - funny I do things like not creating a ticker too early so I don't jinx myself!
Dory - so glad you are still with us! - everyday is another one closer to the magic safe mark!
Twin sis - m/s sucks - take the meds if you have to (better then pucking all day!)
ATM - I have my viabiltiy scan tomorrow at 8:30am and I am stressed to the max about getting more bad news (last time we found out there was no baby at the 12w scan). I am really hoping to see a heatbeat - fingers crossed! Not sleeping very well and busy at work - going on holidays for about 10days tomorrow so I am really hoping for a positive scan so I can enjoy it. Ms comes and goes but I am yet to spew so it's not that bad.
Chuckie - thanks for the cheer up. Sorry to hear you're so apprehensive but can understand why.... where are you going on hols? My due date is 23 Sept according to the ob, so 7 weeks to the dot today. We are not that far apart. I am thinking of getting myself a ticker, but I still post a lot in the TCCAMCAL threads and i don't know how to turn them off....
Smallfry - those baked potatoes are cooking and sending out a fantastic aroma as I type.....
Bonham Oh I hope everything turns out ok I will be thinking of you big hugs my friend
dory I am happy that I have brightened your day. It sounds scary what you have been through and I hope everything is ok... It does seem like it is from your scan and many woman have bleeding so I hope you are just one of those
Chuckie I hope you get a chance to drop in and let us know how your scan goes before heading of on your holiday you luck devil
dory - hon, I am so thankful that your ob is such a great doctor. There's nothing like having confidence in someone like that and, under the circumstances, it could be what makes all the difference for you. Very good news that the scan showed up a healthy bub for you. that it stays this way for you this time. After so much heartache, it's time for some happiness. Enjoy those baked potatoes!! (ps. you turn the signature off by unchecking the 'show your signature' box below the window you type your post in)
bonham - I hope that you are ok. Take your time to process what has happened and know that whatever it is, we are here to support you however we can whenever you are ready.
chuckie - all the best with your scan in the morning, I hope you see that heart beating strong and loud hope to hear from you afterwards but if not, have a fantastic holiday! Relax and revive.
Another update from me... we did the belly cast. It's quite awesome. It also scares me how huge I actually have gotten in the stomach area. Perhaps it will be a huge huge baby afterall!
Sunbeam - The particular MS meds I am on are sadly only available in Canada, but I remember reading about one that you guys have. If the MS gets bad talk to your Dr. Hopefully you won't get it too bad.
Cherished - glad your scan went well!
Bonham - Oh no, hope the news wasn't anything serious!
Dory - The medicine I'm on is called Diclectin. It's apparently a mix of vitamins and antihistamines....sounds funny to me but boy does it help! As for temperature it's been sunny the last few days but still quite chilly. How about you guys, has it cooled off there yet? Sorry to hear you had some scary bleeding, I'm glad to hear that the baby was ok though and that the bleeding has settled down. I had 3 bleeds with my DS and now I've had 3 with this one. I know how scary and stressful it is, I have everything crossed for you that all goes well for you and this baby sticks. I know it's really hard but try to stay positive and get as much rest in as you can.
Chuckie - good luck with your scan tmorrow, I hope all goes well!
Smallfry - Are you going to paint anything on your belly cast?
Not much going on with me. My DS has decided this week that running away from mommy in public is a great big fun game and he is really exhausting me. I don't have the energy or the patience to chase after him and I don't know how to get him to stop and listen to me. It's soooo dangerous! He used to be really good but I guess I'm going to have to start using his monkey backpack/harness.
take your time to process your news - one day at a time.
great to see you back here so quickly 
for a sticky one this time - funny I do things like not creating a ticker too early so I don't jinx myself!
