Hi Everyone. I have been a bit missing in action. Firstly

Simba - can't wait to hear how far along you are. What a bonus it would be if you are already 6 weeks!

TM - so happy to hear that you had good news from your FS. Good luck with TTCing this week, fingers crossed it is your turn for a bfp.

Jo - glad to hear that you will finally have your own space. I can not imagine how hard it must be to not be able to grieve whenever and wherever you want. You have done amazingly well to cope the way you have. Your new home will feel extra special because of the lack of privacy you have had to endure.

Barbara - hope all is well with you.

Okay - so with the brown discharge as I mentioned it stopped on Saturday. I called my Ob yesterday morning when i returned to Melbourne. He told me that he wanted me to get a scan straight away. He did say that he thought it would show that there was not a problem but it was better to check. Luckily DH was home so I did not have to go through this alone. I managed to get a 3:30 appointment. Being told to have a scan meant that we both started imagining the worst, but I decided that this baby deserved to be trusted and believed in - if that makes sense. The 4 hour wait was excrutiating. DH was very upset, mainly because the last ultrasound we had was bad news. So we were both nervous and anxious and I was praying non-stop. Well - to cut a long story short....it is all good news. We saw the heartbeat - it is amazing to think at 6 weeks we can already see the heart beating away. It was quite emotional for us both. The dr who did the scan was not very communicative and it took him ages to say that he saw the heartbeat. I am now feeling a lot better about things. So I am now moving forward with hope in my heart.

Thanks for all your lovely and encouraging thoughts. I have no idea how I would cope without you all.
