Alette, I'm so pleased everything went well with your scan. I know what you mean re. kangaroo, the shape isn't unlike one is it?

You must have both been so relieved and so happy.

I can wait to join you all on here and share the news and progress reports.

Caroline, good luck on Monday.

hugs
Debra.

According to the pregnancy calculator on this site, I'm 5 weeks today so I guess I've got another couple of weeks before the first scan.

DH & I have an appointment with our GP next Thursday, as we had the treatment in Barcelona we need to persuade him to give me a prescription for more pessaries.

Hi Jude

Congratulations and your post really made me laugh as guess what, my DP is selling his beloved TVR too!!! Even funnier(?!) having had it for two years and it not costing a penny it developed a major problem whilst I was on my 2ww, approx 30mins after I had done my pee test the garage called to say that it needed a new engine!! If you have a TVR you will know how much we are talking....

So anyway the new owner will be a lucky sod as it is now damned near new again!!!
Still I dont feel safe in it at all now, no airbags etc so will be glad to buy a twin friendly car! Mind you you will need a people carrier for those triplets!!!

Love
Suexxxx
PS Alette, so pleased to hear your scan went well, and look forward to welcoming you over this side Debra!!!

I'm even more sure now that those cars know when you're threatening to sell them. DH's TVR is one of the old 'wedges' & every time we talk about getting rid of it something else goes wrong with it.

DH has been on the verge of trading up since I've known him (9 years) & I've been blaming him for not wanting to part with it. After reading your post, I blame the car!

I had my pregnancy confirmed today - I am 6 weeks pregnant with one heartbeat and the embyro is currently 3mm.

We are delighted and although DH broke down in tears in front of the nurses, I still feel strangely calm. Although there is no reason or history to think anything will go wrong, I am still keeping a part of me guarded.

We are due one more scan next Monday when they expect the embryo to double in size and in the meantime I am to rest as much as possible - cant wait to tell my boss!!!!!!!!!!

Jude - I also have 2 spare boxes of pessaries and am more than happy to send them to you if you send me a pm with your address.

I made an a*se of myself on the otherside when I misread CarolineM's post about expecting triplets and thought it was you

So sorry. I was SOOOOOOOOO excited and got a bit carried away

CONGRATULATIONS

That's wonderful news, it must be a great feeling to actually see the heartbeat on the screen.

It was lovely to hear that DH was overcome with emotion & you stayed calm & serene!

Thanks for the offer of pessaries, if I have probs with my GP I will take you up on the offer.

The more I get involved in this board, the more I realise what a fantastic place it is in terms of support & help it is - both practical & emotional. It also gives us somewhere to celebrate our successes when we may not want to share our news with the world at large.

Love from a slightly emotional (it must be all the hormones) Jude

DH has decided, using his male rationale, that we tell everyone our good news.

This decision is based on the fact that we have had so much bad luck and disappointment that he wants to celebrate this moment in time and have fond memories. If at some future date this pregnancy does not succeed then we will pull together and deal with it at that time and still have the memories of being so happy.

I could not argue with this and therefore the phone hasn't stopped ringing!

CarolineP

PS DebraP don't worry, its our hormones!

Caroline, congratulations on the scan. You must have been relieved, thrilled and excited all at the same time.

I agree with your DH's idea. Why not celebrate and let others share your happiness?
