Hi Sue - Thanks seems I will be two days behind you all the way

DH was with me when I did the test - well he was in the bedroom because he thought that it took about 3 mins - I was crying because the line came across really quick and then the cross came and I oculd not believe it - it made me cry more he thought it was bad news and I was shaking trying to show him and say - it worked!!

Bad news is I have to go to work tomorrow for the first time since 16th September!! I will try and keep up with everyone but it is hard as I can't go on at work when everyone is in.

I am soo excited and scared - does not seem real

Hi julie, How are you? how is work going? Hoping all is well with you.

Im not doing too good, started spotting yesterday (old blood) very, very small amount and then later there was a small amount of new blood which is never good. So feeling like it is the end for me. Will ring the hospital this am, but i think they will just say sit it out. I just need to know.

Will speak soon, you take care of yourself

Love

Sue

You take care of yourself and as Smita says a little spotting doesn't mean it's over.

Get plenty of rest and I hope the hospital give you some reassurance soon.

Sue - Hi
What did the hospital say :?: Take care and remember as the others said it doesn't mean it is a bad sign. I will be thinking about you. Get plenty of rest. I would say don't worry but I know that is not possible :!: :!:

Take care
Love

Hi ladies,

thanks so much for your replies. Phoned the hospital this am and i am going to have bloods done on mon and wed, because of the last ep. so feeling a bit relieved about that. the new blood seems to have turned to old, so trying to believe everything is going to be fine. Its so hard though, will try and take things really easy over the weekend and ofcourse will be doing a hpt each day.

thanks again, will let you know how things progress.

Love

Sue e,

Hang in there and stay as positive as you can. Keep focusing all your love on your baby. I know it's easier said than done, but just know you're doing everything you possibly can. Have a restful and peaceful weekend, and let us know how your blood work goes. I will keep you in my prayers.

Hello all.
I've been away for awhile and couldn't have any blood tests - very stressfull. Now my numbers are "ok, but not great" whatever that means....
I wish the waiting could end!
Stil, this is better news than what i expected - I have no symptoms at all, so I felt it must be over. But my levels are still rising. I don't know why that news hasn't made me happy - I just feel I can't relax.
Hope others are all travelling well.

It is unlikely that the heartbeat will be heard at the first scan, but you can see it pulsing away.

It truly is a magical sight - be warned it is very emotional :D
