    Hi girls,

    Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Have been super busy lately so have not even had time to turn the computer on let alone get on BB.

    Mannie - congrats on your BFP - how exciting

    Hugs for you all

    AFM - DH and I have started chinese herbs which we have termed "devil water" eeeeewwwwwww so so gross but if it does the trick it wil turn out to be miracle water. Have quite severe ov pains today. Believe I Ov yesterday as I had massive spike in temp today. DH got also of BD in so fingers crossed this is our month.

    I am so so tired so off to bed now - will check in, in a few days

    Hi girls, I hope you are all doing well. Many many stickyvibes and babydust for you all!

    I am just bursting to let you all know that DH and I just heard our baby's heart beating for the very first time! We've seen it twice on ultrasound, but wow, there is noting sweeter than actually hearing that beautiful sound! We bought a fetal doppler and even though it says that you can hear the heart beat from 12 weeks, we managed to hear it just now at 11w2d! We listened to my heart first (around 85bpm) and then couldn't believe it when we heard the baby's going around 160bpm!

    I've made a basic little video so I could share it on facebook, so if anyone wants to hear it, here it is .

    KrystieLove: it's the most amazing sound. i bought one of those from ebay and i heard my bub at just 8 weeks, but saying that i would have prob been more like 10 as jumped 2 weeks ahead. there is nothing as magical as hearing it. the doppler i got came with a cable you can hook up to your laptop, so i have mine on my phone and can listen when ever i like.

    I had another litttle listen last night and bub is still beating strong. its hard to convince myself not to walk around with it strapped to my belly.

    they are the most amazing things, i would recommend them to anyone!

    Mannie - So glad your appointment went really well and that your OB is so straight up and reassuring about things. Hoping you have a nice high hcg and sending you heaps of
    Easha - good luck with your herbs, aren't they vile!!!!! I have been taking them for two months now and have gone from an incredibly painful, heavy AF that came anywhere from CD21 to CD40-odd to a nice comfortable 31 and 28 day cycle thus far. Hope you have as much success!
    Ruthie - ?? any news hun?
    Krystie - for hearing the heartbeat!!!!!!! Must be the most beautiful sound in the world.
    Woohoo, its FRIDAY!!!!! Have a good one girls!!
