    Oh Bun...I know you are very hesitant, but that is wonderful news!! Give your belly lots of rubs and talk to that precious bubba, sending you loads of sticky vibes too!

    The results are in...

    HCG 131
    Oestrogen 540
    Progesterone 150.

    Apparently all looks really good (and I know that is a good prog level), so I am today officially 4 wks pg. I am still terrified, but happy that at least the wait for results is over. They want me to have another BT next Fri to check on things, then another the Fri after that and then a scan the next Fri. After that, if all, is well, I will need an OB to see! I am too scared to jinx myself by booking one too soon, but I know the one I want is hard to get into, so not sure what to do there.

    I really wish this didn't have to be so stressful. I am trying hard to take it easy and not stress but that is sooooo hard to do.

    Sorry for all the selfish posts guys, I'll be back to normal soon. I find all this stress really draining and I have a lot more to do at work before the end of the day, but I am exhausted and just want to go to bed already. This really takes it out of me.

    Sensational news in here guys.

    Bun, I know exactly how you feel. Try and be positive and before you know it you will be twelve weeks along and smooth sailing. Sticky vibes your way (Well as much as I can give you after my own!)

    Now I want everyone else in here to clear out and come join the PAML thread.

    Happy weekend to all.

    Bun - a BIG congratulations to you! Grab the bull by the horns, book your Ob appt & embrace this pg! I know how stressful it is & all the worry that surrounds pg after m/c but I am a great believer in the power of positive thinking. This has got to be better for bubs than worry. I am not pushing you - feel how you need to feel but know that we are all so happy for you & you deserve to feel all those innocent feelings of pg too - I know it is going to be third time lucky for you. You know we are all here for you if you need reassurance or a vent or whatever. All the best.....

    Bun - Congrates hon. Please try and stay positive, it really helps. I used to (and still do most days) lay quiet for 20 mins and just imagine bub growing perfectly. I found this really helps. Also if work gets too much just take some time off. I used to be in a very stressful job and it can really play havoc with your mental state during pregnancy. You have been through so much and you (like all the other ladies here) deserve ta happy and healthy pregnancy. Sorry for the lecture hon. Hugs and remember to try and enjoy.

    OMG, you guys are so wonderful! Reading all your posts has just had me crying at work! I am trying soooo hard to be happy about this, and you all have really helped lift my spirits.

    BekZ - I know what you mean about the stressful job thing. I refused to do a last minute court appearance this morning (hate doing those at the best of times when it is not my file), because I figured I was under enough stress already. Now it is about ME and NOT work, so I am going to try and take it easy. I had a nice long bath last night to relax myself and am doing my relaxation cd my counsellor gave me each night to try and keep relaxed, so hopefully that will work!

    mummyto1 - thank you. You are right - I should try to enjoy this instead of just being afraid all the time. I think if in a week all is still going well I might tentatively book an OB.

    Jen - can't wait to come join you in PAML! I might wait a bit before joining you guys over there - I don't want to jump the gun.

    Lynn - thank you, and I am sooo glad to read your levels - wow!!!! That is high!!

    Salt & Shoegal - I would love to book Mike as he sounds great, but I am quite far SOR so I really need an OB who delivers at SJOGM, as it's the closest to me. I would love to get Dr Blair, but I hear he can be really hard to get into and I am not ready to book yet. Maybe in a week or so, and if I can't get him, I'm not sure where to go... I have never made it that far before (actually, I didn't have private maternity cover with my other pregnancies, so it was never necessary, but now I am all covered!)

    Thank you again everyone for being so incredibly supportive to me. I don't know what I would do without you, and of course we have told no one IRL, so your support really is a lifesaver!!

    Look what happens when I'm away for a few days!

    Bun that is FANTASTIC news - I'm so happy for you! Stay positive - I just know everything will be alright.

    Megan and I wish you all the very best for your pregnancy!

    Bun - I know you are scared but you have given me so much hope. I am so happy for you and hope that those excellent results help to put your mind a little at ease. Know that we are all thinking and praying for the best for you. You have done so well, and come through the last few months like a trooper! You have given me hope that some day it might happen for me too.

    Satya - Big, Big, BIG hugs to you lovely. I'm so sorry that your temp has dipped and AF is sneaking around. I hope that you are ok. Thinking of you and keeping you and yours in my prayers.

    Lisa - hope the transfer went well sweetie. Let us know how you are going...

    Big hello to everyone else, hope everything is going well.

    love

    Finally I have some time for personals!

    Firsly, huge congratulations to Claireabel, Pash and Bun!! Well done girls.

    Bun - can I ask how long you were on Clomid for? Why did Dr Hart put you on it?

    Shellbell - 8DPO today?? How long will you hold out for until you test?

    Saltprincess - gosh, reading my last few posts I do sound really positive, but not so much now. I really shouldn't go into the Belly Buddies thread of when I would have been due plus some of those pregnancy announcements are like a stab through the heart when "we haven't been trying long" and "I swear he just looked at me". Gah!

    Jenjams - thanks for the babydust, I really need it!

    Sharon19270 - Good luck trying to hold out! I bet the 15th can't come quick enough, how are you feeling?

    Leyla - are you seeing an FS at all? Moan all you like, that's what we're here for.

    Satya - Good luck still for you hun.

    *las* - How did the embryo transfer go?

    Lee - I am sorry to read about your first DH and I'm glad you have found happiness again, I hope you are blessed very soon.

    TwoMums - good luck for Sunday.

    Hugs to whomever I missed.

    Good morning everyone! I'm new here, as you know, so forgive me because I am having a hard remember names etc.
    I wanted to send out huge congratulations and lots of prayers to those of you who just got your BFP~ That's wonderful news, and I pray for a happy and healthy 9 months to all of you.

    To everyone else, I just want to say keep the courage. Trying to conceive is such a difficult and emotional thing to go thru, but so much more after miscarriage! Good luck to all of you.

    As for me, it's cd 14, I'm showing some signs of possibly Oing (just 2 weeks after my m/c) and I am feeling the need to give it our best shot. So if you could keep your fingers crossed for us, I would appreciate it! I spent hours last night searching online for posts about women who conceived immediately after m/c and I am just praying like crazy I'll be one of them. Somehow, considering our ttc journey to conceive Kenny, it's not going to be that simple!

    Bun I have just got home from a night of scrapping and a busy day and the only thing I could think about was logging in to see how you went with your results, I am so happy for you and I too have a good feeling for you and that it will be 3rd time lucky, I just can't begin to explain how happy I am for you and DH CONGRATULATIONS

    sorry everyone else, I am just too tired for any more personals atm so will come back on sometime tomorrow and catch up with everyone.
