Phew - finally on - well what a day - sorry to have worried you if I have after my 20- week scan fiasco - anyway - 11.3 today and waited an hour - I was sick the whole way there, before I got there, down the corridoor and in 3 toilets so then had to try and drink a load to get scanned. Went in an hour late - sweat sweat and was blowing my blood pressure sky high. Then she said might not be able to do the nuchal as can only do it from 11.3 and I am 11.2 according to my fertility clinic.
Anway she got them straight away and heart beats - they are now 52mm and 50 mm and they have dated me 11.3 and due 13th august and not the 15th.
Nuchal test was fine - phew - with my age the risk is 1:168 but went down to 1:1110 and 1:1250 which is the best you can get at 37 - the nuchal folds were only 1.3mm and I was thrilled with Oliver's at 3mm which took my last risk to 1:690
Next scan 16 weeks so will have some relaxation then panic nearer the time.
Oh baby one got fed up and decided to literally kick up a fuss - can't post piccies on here but one or should I say two happy parents here.
Lots of love

I've lost count of the number of times I've logged on today to read your news! It sounds like your scan went fantastically well, which is great news!
Boy does your sickness sound bad though - that's a really good twins sign!!
I'm really pleased for you both. Take care.

TTC 5 years. Daniel & Charlotte born 22.03.02, 1st ICSI treatment. TTC for 4 further years. 2nd ICSI cycle abandoned, 3rd cycle BFN. Looking forward to being a happy family of 4.
I am so glad your scan went great. It must be great to see them both on the screen and bigger than the last time you saw them.
You must both be thrilled. You can relax abit more now until your 20 week scan. Why are we always waiting?
I can,t wait for my 12 week scan, still waiting for a date.
Told you you'd have a big chucking up session and not to get complacent about feeling fine for five days!!! So pleased with your results today! Must compare twinnie photos!!
Was so relieved to hear yesterday (earlier through the grapevine ) that everything was OK. The point where you can start to relax finally will be here before you know it.
Will e-mail soon
Lots of Love

Hi TRacey
great news about your scan, hopefully the sickness will subside soon. How often are they going to scan you from now on? my hospital scan every 4 weeks after the 20 week scan, so that will really help the time go a bit quicker.
They are scanning me at 16 weeks which they would have done anyway with just one after my history of last time. Then every 4 weeks so in tune with you - must get a photo album
Love

Great news about the scan. It's awful feeling so sick and having to go to public places even if it is a hospital. I remember being sick in the car for 45 mins on the way to my hospital and every traffic light was against us and the looks people were giving me Glad the twins are thriving and hopefully you will start to feel better soon.
hi tracey
glad to see your scan results were fine, another hurdle to come up soon, we seem to live from one app to another, everything gets centred around these times, as they are so important to us,
i had my 20 week scan on weds and all is well with our little girl, she is very active.
am i right in saying that your due date for oliver{r.i.p} would have been today? i know this will be a sad day again for you mixed with happiness about your twins... an extra hug to D.H will help to ease some for you both..
anyway, speak to you soon
take care
love jackie xxx

So pleased to hear your scan result, I do pop on here and have a look at your progress. I use to drive my DH mad, as I would relax after a scan then start to panic as the next due near. Did I notice right that you are a Essex girl, like me?? Hope you keep well and look after yourself and the bumps.
Mags lovely to hear from you
I keep thinking I am shrinking - am nearly 13 weeks but could it be the bump has moved up from the pelvis? - help reassurance - Nik keeps telling me off
No afraid not an Essex girl (despite the name) it was Nik being childish because I now have a Sharan! Was born in Edgware
Love to you all
