I feel a bit selfish posting about my 20 week scan when there is such heartache going on with some at the moment. you are in my and my thoughts.
My EDD is fast approaching for our angel baby with it being 26th Dec, boxing day. I'm a bit apprehensive about the day but i'm sure DF and I will get through it with the strength we give each other.
Well..... my 20 weeks scan went amazingly. Everything is in the right place, doing the right thing and it the right size. I have some more wonderful pics which i posted in the gallery, so please take a look. I'm so pleased everything is ok. it's such a huge relief.
I'm not feeling to great today tho as there is a lot of sickness and tummy bugs going round our office at the moment and i think i may have caught it. and drinking lots of water and crossing my fingers and hoping i havent got it.
Thats it from me, sorry no time for persies as i'm at work.
Just one thing, thinking of you all.
xxxx

Fificlaire - that's great news about your scan - you must be so excited (and relieved).
Indy - congrats on the BFP - many people have champagne and more for many more nights than you before they know they are pregnant - I wouldn't worry at all.
Mollycat - your decision is so understandable - I wish you all the best. And who knows - maybe we'll find you back in a preg thread!
Mannie and Toccara - Oh no - I am just so sad on hearing your news ... it just is not at all fair - just wanted you to know that you're both in my thoughts
KL - thinking of you today ...I had my first angel's edd recently and found it a little more emotional than I expected... enjoy your moments thinking of your first bub - and know that the baby you are pg with now is going to have a very special guardian angel with them always
Indy - congrats! Here's a large helping of for you ... and I always get spotting 14-16 dpo. When I've told my GP about it she still called it implantation spotting... I made sure I got some quantitative hcg tests just to reassure myself anyway
Hannah - sounds like you are way better at using the zen-vibes than I am! Maybe you should be in charge of them from now on... hope you're doing ok lovely...
AFM - had a whirlwind baby check visit and scan with the ob yesterday. Bub gave me a minor nervous breakdown by lying completely still when the scanner first went on - ob was very quick to point out the heartbeat, and gave me a listen too (aaah!). As soon as I asked if ob could measure bub, it started up it's usual roller-disco moves and just would not be still for long enough to get a good measurement. She said she's very happy with everything - and that bub has grown the right amount. I have allowed myself a small amount of relief - and am hanging out now until the nt scan on 12 Dec (9 more sleeps!).
Love to all - make sure you continue to take good care of yourselves and each other
HannhD...hey young lady! How goes it with you...BFP yet?
Toccara...aww hon...BIG HUGS for you and DH...this is a very trying time for you both emotionally...you must try to support one another which in the end will make you stronger in your relationship...be well!
Indy...WOW!
mollycat...I am such an arse! I never responded to the email you sent me and I promise I had every intent to...I apologize! I can tell you I have been going back and forth with the whole TTC issue...I truly wish I could get to the place where you are in whatever happens happens...but it's nearly impossible...I know too much about my body now. I often try to "trick" myself into forgetting my "O" time or my AF time thinking if I "forget" I'll somehow find myself pg...nuts I know...it's just so difficult. I am getting a little bummed because I am 37 soon to be 38 and we m/c 12/19/2007 with no BFP since...I am trying to remain positive but sometime you just wonder...why? Ya know...
Anyway please continue to email me (I'll be better at responding *wink*)
mannie... I am so very sorry...
AFM...getting the typical AF symptoms...I guess this isn't our time...
Mannie I'm so sorry you have to go thur this again I was checking back to see how things where going with you big and if you need to talk email or IM me and I will listen I hope you get some answers and the forever baby you are hoping and praying for...
Thanks everyone for your kind words and prayers I wish you all could be here to give me real hugs too its hard when no one around you knows what its like to go thur this and I'm so tried of hearing people and doctors say it common to lose a baby in the first tri or atleast you where not that far along ... I'm to going get tested and have DH get tested if we make it past this but I'm sure if I even wanna try again because I'm go crazy worrying about m bub the whole pg ...
Hey all,
Thanks for all the good wishes. Hanging in here, off to the doctor tomorrow. Thanks for the reassurance Jen, still spotting a little bit and feeling sort of bloated and achy so excited but really quite scared, looked back at my diary and this is what happened with the mc in July so uggg.
POAS again this morning, but not a super sensitive one and the line wasn't as dark as the other tests (not surprising if it needs more to detect a signal) but was hoping for darker as I'm now D17PO. Anyway, can't do anything except wait (as you can see, very good at that- not!).
Indy: congratulations on your BFP
I think one of the bad things about these at-home pregnancy tests is that we know so early that we have that much more time to worry about things than our mothers did when they were pregnant. I'm 41, and when my mom had me, she had to wait until she missed two periods, then they did something called a "rabbit test". I'm not sure what that was, exactly. Best of luck
KrystieLove: sending cyberhug.
mumstheword: welcome and
mollycat: it must have been hard for you to come to that decision, but it also sounds healing. You do get to a place where you just have to move forward with your life. People don't always understand just how all-consuming ttc is (or how trying--people always think it's "fun"...stupid people...). Hope you won't be a stranger!
Mannie2903: sending more cyberhugs. I'm glad you guys are talking it out and able to come to some agreement as to your outlook on this. I also believe in leaving things to God's timing, but it's so hard sometimes!!! Will be praying hard for you, too.
Mel1979: keep us posted and I'm keeping fingers crossed for you
fificlaire: I"m so happy your scan went well! Sending encouragement vibes for the 26th
jenushka: congrats on your scan! You must be so happy and relieved
smilanatu: so sorry. Sending cyberhug
Toccarra50: IKWYM. Just because early loss is "common" doesn't make it any less heartbreaking. Sending lots of cyberhugs and prayers in your direction. Thank goodness we have a place like this to come and vent...
AFM: I had a major freak-out last night, worrying about everything from "are my b00bs tender enough" to "why aren't I going to the bathroom more often". I'm more calm today, but I guess that's what happens when you've had losses before and then become pregnant. You worry about EVERYTHING...
and my thoughts.
Here's a large helping of 
for you ... and I always get spotting 14-16 dpo. When I've told my GP about it she still called it implantation spotting... I made sure I got some quantitative hcg tests just to reassure myself anyway
