Thought you might like to know about a story in the news here...
A New Zealand couple have been told by the Department of Internal Affairs they can't call their boy "4Real". They said they decided on the name after seeing an ultrasound scan and realising the baby was "for real". They said they chose the spelling "4Real" because it was the clearest and simplest way of writing it down.

Morning girls,
Kiwigirl - that story about the name is funny! Yeah, it's really hard planning holidays with pg and m/c on your mind. We only did this because my FS said it would be fine and we only booked it a couple of months ago, so knew that if I was pg, it would be too early for there to be any problem with flying. It's hard, because you need to live and have things to look forward to, but it is really hard to plan. We just decided that we had put things off long enough, this really good opportunity came up and we could afford it, so we decided to just go for it and hope for the best. Of course now I am really worried about it, but with a bit of luck all will go well with this bub and we will have a great holiday (although with some tiredness and m/s!). Nov is probably fine to organise a holiday for. It is only in the last trimester that flying is difficult, and only I think the last 4 weeks when airlines don't like you to fly. I say just go for it! Oh, and travel insurance will cover you for up to 20 weeks, after that it gets a bit difficult.
satya - thanks! I am so glad you think this one will be a sticky one! I am feeling more confident each day (but at the same time trying to take a step back so I don't get too attached). My m/s is still shocking so something hopefully is working as it should. You poor thing - both your parents with cancer. That must be so stressful for you. I am dreading anything happening to my parents, and dad is starting to age now, so I worry about them. I don't know how your colleagues can be so insensitive when they know what you have been through. I think some people just don't get it. I have had the same thing with some people ( mainly MIL) and I don't think they realise how hurtful they are being. They bloody should though!
pash - you poor thing, that must have been so so scary. I hope all is well and you make sure you take it easy for the next few days. Can you ask for an earlier scan? That is so long to wait with all the worry you must be feeling. I am thinking of you sweetie.
Salt - what a lovely thing for your mum to do for your dad, but it must be so stressful for you having them both having surgery at the same time. I am not surprised you are not concentrated on work right now - you have way too much going on. I have not been focussed on work for months!
At DH's training last night, a guy there announced his wife's pregnancy. She is 6 weeks (so the same as me). And DH says to him 'You do know how high the chance of m/c is at this early stage, don't you?'. How embarrassing! I can't believe he actually said that! That's the kind of thing I think everytime someone announces a pg really early, but you never say it!! I don't know if many people do realise just how common m/c is. Maybe it's best for them to know.
I hate when we change threads too, I have forgotten everything else I wanted to say!

I’m back!!
Girls, I have great news:
AF ARRIVED TODAY!!
I don't mean to yell but I am thrilled! I really struggled this week so I feel we are now back on track.
A couple that got married a week after us announced their pregnancy during the week, she is due 3 weeks before I would have been due so I felt very jealous and resentful. I feel so much better now that AF has come. I'm out of limbo land.
Start BT's tomorrow for O tracking and having a HyCoSy next week on Day 6 or 7.
Woo hoo!
ETA - oh I forgot to say that it was a perfect 32 day cycle since I MC'd so it looks like it hasn't stuffed my cycles up. DH is gonna be sick of the sight of me up until CD17 when I O!

Hi everyone,
Salt - I hope everything goes well for your parents - I'm sure they will both sail through it with no problems! I saw quite a few done in my former working life (I used to work in a pathology lab at a major hospital) and they all went well with no big dramas. What a wonderful thing your Mum is doing for your Dad. I'm sure the temp drop doesn't mean anything - don't know about the baby dream though! LOL Best of luck!
las - I am so so sorryIt just isn't fair is it? I will keep hoping for you that things turn around and that they are wrong about the pregnancy not being viable.
Shoegal - yay for AF turning up! All the best for this month.
Belinda - what a bummer about AF, wish she'd go away for you! Have a nice weekend away and maybe leave her behind when you come back LOL
Bun - how embarassing!LOL But I think its a bit strange telling people at 6 weeks too - each to their own I guess. We didn't tell family until I was 8 weeks with Megan, and I didn't tell work until I was 13 weeks and had had my first scan. But I have to admit (and I hang my head in shame about it a bit now) but it never dawned on me when I was pg with her to think about what could go wrong. I guess a lot of people don't think about it until it happens to them
satya - I'm so sorry about your work colleaguesWhat stupid, stupid people they must be!!
kiwigirl - have a nice time away! I'd love to go back to where we went for our honeymoon - the Rocky Mountains in Canada - I can dream! LOL
pash - I'm so sorry you are going through such a tough time
I hope I haven't missed anyone else - I always get a bit confused when the new thread starts LOL - but I hope you are all well!
Well, I'm feeling a bit better about things than I was the day I found out my BT results, it has taken a bit to process it all though and work out what I want to do. I'm still waiting for a letter from the ob with the script and treatment protocol for the Clomid, so hopefully that will turn up early next week and I'll know a bit more about how they are going to monitor me. I'm also pretty bummed (as you can imagine) about missing out this cycle, so I am thinking that maybe we might have one last ditch go at conceiving ourselves this month - I don't know.....but I've got a few more days to make up my mind anyway I guess. The weird thing is that my charts do indicate that I am ovulating, its just that my progesterone levels don't. But maybe they might turn out to be better this cycle - who knows? I'm just really confused about it all and not at all sure that I am not ovulating KWIM? Maybe its more my short LP that is the problem??
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for your words of encouragement after my last post, it was really good to be able to tell someone else besides my DH!
