Hi all!<br><br>The word CRAZY sums me up at the moment! I am analyzing every twinge, then wondering why I don't feel anything, why are my boobs slightly sore then not at all, etc...<br><br>I don't know what was worse, this or the 2ww. I am back at work tomorrow. I am a Deputy in a primary school. I am going to tell the staff because we had a new roof put on and we will need to spend the next 3 days moving everything back - and I am not lifting things.<br><br>I am going to get my Head to get a risk assessment done - seeing as I deal with the discipline problems etc I am not going to find myself in the middle of a fight!<br><br>My scan is on 11th - am just praying that it is all ok this time.<br><br>Take care.<br><br>Michelle

Hi<br>Lynne and Michelle,<br>I'm really glad I'm not the only one analizing every little thing. My breasts were really sore, then they're not. I've not been sick, just felt slightly off in the mornings, real groggy. <br>Went back to work yesterday, only did four hours, but by the time I got home, I was very tired and had to go to bed. Today I've been to work, and feel a lot better.<br>I just want to get to next Monday, for my scan, and hopefully I'll be able to relax a little. But then you know we're all going to be thinking about the next scan!<br>Take it easy Charlotte x<br>

Hiya everyone<br>Well, we went for scan yesterday and DH was gobsmacked - think nurse thought he was gonna faint. We are having one little 'un. We saw the heartbeat and got a photo. We are trying to think of something to call it - just so its not an 'it'. I started blubbing (obviously) when we saw it. <br>Sympton wise I have sore boobs and I'm eating for england (or is that just an excuse!) I keep getting twinges too. I still havent really told anyone (apart from family) as I'm still sort of in shock. I want to shout it from the rooftops but I think I'm just scared.<br>Sharon - good luck for 2mrw. I nearly broke my neck trying to see the screen. <br>Lynne, Michelle, Lottie - I agree about the waiting. I've been back to work though so thats taken some of my mind off it. I was off work for the 2ww and that was horrendous.<br>Good luck<br>luv Bertie x

Hi Everyone,<br><br>Charlotte and Michelle - not long now until you scan, you must be getting excited.<br><br>Hows everyones symptoms, mine have take a massive turn for the worse(or better which ever way you look at it because I am lucky to be feeling this way) I have been really sick since Friday, not just in the morning but all day and I look like death warmed up (not that I am complaining)is anyone else feeling the same, if so have you found anything that helps. I have tried sea sick wrist bands, ginger snaps, ginger tea, ginger ale, plenty sleep but nothing appears to be helping.<br><br>Fi - Fantastic news has helped me feel a little better this morning.<br><br>Hope your all fine and enjoying every minute<br><br>Lots of Love <br><br>Lynne

Hi Fi,<br><br>Welcome to the ACB positive strand. It still has not sunk in for us either can't wait for our scan next Wed, hopefully everything will be okay starting to get a bit nerves. I have done 8 hpt now, I think I have a bit of an addiction. I felt a little nauseas the first few mornings after testing but it went away for a few days but it has come back good and proper and it is lasting all day, but as you say it is great in a strange way. I have been off work since last Thursday but I am going to try to go in today not sure how much use I will be feel a bit like a zombie at the moment. The wait for the scan does get easier I have had to wait nearly 4 weeks for mine.<br><br>When is you scan date?<br><br>Aly - Thanks for thinking of us, how are you doing?<br><br>Michelle - Good luck for your scan tomorrow, will be think of you<br><br>Lots of Love<br>Lynne

Do you know when you have your next scan?<br><br>Aly, Hi hope your hanging in there, lovely of you to check to see how we all are. Have you made any plans yet or is it too soon?<br><br>As for me I havn't got any symptoms yet, no nausea no sickness - which is good but I still don't really 'feel pregnant'<br><br>Charlotte, Im so so sorry about your news, I think they should scan you again on friday you dont really know where you stand do you??? Take care I'll be thinking of you.<br><br>Sharon G XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
