bloody hell you witch, I was convinced something awful had happened with your test!!! I'll have you know 165 is still high, they look for an indicator of 50 to show a positive pregnancy. So don't write off your double buggies yet girl! Now for your information, you should still refrain from chocolate, coffee and the other (especially the other!!!) even more so. Why would you want to put high levels of caffeine into your body when you know you are pg! I will bet you £20 that by the time you go for your scan you already don't want chocolate, coffee or the other anyway!!! Did I not warn you about the tiredness!!!! I told you to get some sleep whilst you could....would you listen???!!! I can't make it through the whole day without at least 2 or 3 little sleeps. sometimes not so little...yesterday I was so knackered after the scan and taking the dogs for a walk I came home and was getting changed into something comfortable and mid-way through fell asleep on the bed and didn't wake up until 3 hours later!!! I was told very strictly by my clinic that there was to be no 'action' in the bedroom (or anywhere else if you were feeling rather adventurous - all rules apply!) something to do with sperm affecting the embryos/foetus'. I asked again yesterday (desperate, me? Just a bit!!) and they said still to refrain until after the 8 week scan.....what joy! So before you go on your choc, coff, sh*g fest....be warned, young lady! I'd be surprised if you had the energy to do it anyway!!! I'm so excited, you are joining us on the other side - definitely post!! There is other side etiquette, its called being grown up and sensible and discussing water births not period poo!!!! Lots of love nikola.xxxxxxxxx

Well done Jackie, You had me worried aswell, glad all went well, and I'm sure i read on this site somewhere that someone had a level of 170 ish and also still had twins, so you will have to wait untill the scan!!!!. Please tell what the hell is PERIOD POO... I feel like I've missed out on something?? I sure bloody well have had everything else. Still must keep postive, and still feeling very very sick and feel like s**t. Take care Love Wibbs xxx

hi wibbs When I went to the clinic on Friday they told me the sicker I felt the better for the babies, so now if I have the odd half hour during the day where I don't feel sick I start to worry!!! Paranoia!!!! I managed to eat something yesterday, but it didn't stay down for the long, I had a serious poo (not period!!) problem!!! I was told to take extra special care when I'm approaching weeks 8 & 12 because this it the time I would naturally have a period, and its the time the body can sometimes reject the embies. So you be careful too!!! Its so nice to know that there is somebody out there who feels as awful as me (in the nicest possible way, if you know what I mean!!) Take care, love nikola.xx

hi gang thanks for the ever so helpful advice{i think?} and wonders of wonders i have decided to take it, and quite shocked as it seems DH was so pleased to hear it. do you think he has gone off me? could you blame him? he is very anxious as this is his first baby and is terrifed in case anything goes wrong.{not on his own there} i was married before and am already a mum, but my baby is 9 now and i don't remember a thing, we were trying for 4 years before we tried .iv.f last year, failed and tried this year, also this time we have got frozen as you know and we are going to donate. sorry to hear you both are so sick, have you tried the bands yet? wibbs - to put to rest the subject of period poo{seen as it was me who lowered the tone -acc to nikola} i{and quite a few others} always know when my AF is coming, as my bowels really empty{diff than other times} and it's the start of AF, sorry it's nothing exciting, but i do hope you are now sorry you asked!!!!! now you 2 can stop trying to scare me with this count as 1 baby would be a lovely miracle for us, i have high b.p, and had to fight hard to get clinic to accept us on the list as i suffer pre-eclamsia also, but i have to add, i am now the fittest i have ever been before, and while i might still be over- weight and 40, i am 100 times better than i was before and 2 stone lighter.. anyway enough about me. talk soon love jackie xxx

hi jackie good to hear from you. You went quiet over the w/e and I started to worry. I worry about everything at the moment. So will you, its natural. I'm convinced if I don't feel sick something is wrong! Try to take things as easy as possible. Don't be lifting or carrying anything - sit back and let your dh and son/daughter (I'm guessing son, don't know why...)help! My dh made lunch yesterday, he spent two hours preparing and when we sat down to eat the smell made me vom, and I couldn't eat anything!! Woops. Poor thing. I'm a nightmare to live with at the moment. I can't tell how I'm gong to feel. I've asked dh to invest in some travel bands and he is going to find some for me. I spent most of the weekend in bed! I'm either asleep or being sick. Its not pleasant. Although the hospital said the sicker you feel the better for the babies, so bring it on! I think we try so hard to get to this stage, we are petrified something will go wrong. The worry gets worse. I tell you this wait for your first scan is the longest ever!! When is your scan? I have another on 24th (week on friday) when I will be 8 weeks and 1 day!! I have an appt with my gp on thursday and hopefully will get to meet the midwife next week too. Its all starting to happen, although I do have to pinch myself to believe I'm actually pregnant!! (that is without dealing with the shock of twins!) I hope you (and wibbs, val, di and dagny) are all enjoying newly pg life! love nikola.xx

Hi JACKIE, Like veryone else you had me worried that it had gone pear-shaped! The leaflet I got from the M/W says only 6 cups of tea a day and tea has less caffeine than tea! So beware. I changed to de-caff tea but have actually gone off it all together! Now onto lemon zester tea bags! Also one thing to be aware of is you can only have tuna 3 times a week due to the mercury levels found in the sea where tuna are caught - that also goes for shark! If time for you is anything like me it drags - especially to the 1st scan! I'm now awaiting a hosp app't for consultant and gonna ask for more frequent scans. Am feeling very worried as there was no heartbeat at 10 week scan last time. But am hoping that as I feel different this time that this is a very +ve sign! Di

hi girls, well have not had any of the above yet, kept thinking that i really fancied a nice coffee, but tonight was the night to allow myself... one sip and it was horribble, so gave that up as a bad idea. don't crave the ch9ocolate yet, so am going to hang out on that until i really do. but the 3rd vice of mine, now that is a different story, but thanks to our lovely friend nikola, there is no chance of that happening, as DH reckons nikola is right and we should wait.............. would it be un-ethical to have an affair right now? ok. ok. only joking... can't wait for my scan 31/10. my sickness has'nt started yet, and i am trying to get as much as christmass{got a big family} done befor it kicks in. have stocked up on ginger biscuits... well got to go speak soon take care love jackie xxx
