Hi everyone, Just to let you know that everything is ok, baby still there with the strong heartbeat, it was sooo amazing, even more so than at the 6 weeks scan cause you can see the little shape, what a lovely feeling. So now its onto the NHS for the 12 week scan, havent had my appointment thro yet so not sure if this side of christmas yet, are they opened around christmas for that sort of thing? So: one question for all you ladies, hope you dont mind me asking but I forgot to ask the consultant..... he said no sex up until the 8 week scan last time and so forgot to ask is it ok now, or do you wait until the 12 week scan, anyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Tracy (8weeks) xxx

Hi Trace, Well to be honest I couldn't have sex because of the bleeding so I am unable to answer your question. They say that it doesn't harm the baby or anything but if bleeding they don't recommend it you have to be careful. Love Shell. 32wks 2d pg xx

Yeah Tracy!!!!! I am so glad to hear your 8wk scan went well. That has to be a relief, I can hardly wait for mine, I go on Thursday.. I am extremely anxious because my clinic doesn't do a 6wk scan so I haven't been back since the day I recieved a positive pg test! Seems like forever ago! Well theres alot of scans coming up, can hardly wait to see how everyone else's goes as well. I'll let you all know on Thursday evening.

Tracy Fantastic news glad to hear everything is well with you and baby. I can't help with the sex think I think it depends on own own circumstances. I'm going to play it safe and wait for 12wks. Mind you over the last week I've been having erotic dreams and waking up feeling very randy. Vicki X

Tracy So glad your 8 week scan went well. It's a nightmare waiting for each scan isn't it? It's also amazing how quickly the baby grows over a week or two. I can't even think about sex just yet. I have have really bad sickness and a constant headache but DH is very understanding thankfully. Vicki I too have been waking up after erotic dreams but as soon as I am awake thats where it stops, much to DH's dismay. Hope everyone else is doing ok. I have got my Nuchal scan on Thursday which I am terrified of having. Being 35 I am in the older age range so our chances of Downes are higher. Fingers crossed. See ya Love Dagny xx 11 weeks 5 days [Edited by Dagny on 01-Dec-03 03:52]

Excellent news Tracy Your question about sex - well, in my house there hasn[t been any at all since I found out I was pregnant! Poor DH keeps reading that round about now (im 27 weeks) i should be feeling randy as hell - nope! Can't think of anything more inconvenient at the moment! To start with, it was the fear of something happening if we did, but now I just can't be *rsed! Id rather have a cuddle on the sofa with DH, a cup of tea and a big bar of chocca! Sorry, can't actually be of any help! Love Rachel x

Hi Tracy, Great news on your scan - you must be so relieved - there's nothing like seeing the lttle one on the screen - I could've laid all day being scanned! We were advised 12 weeks before having sex but that was cos we'd lost a baby before. But I think its a very individual thing - all the books etc say its ok if no bleeding but with IVF you just don't want to take the chance. Dagny - I'm 37 and went for Nuchal scan last week - don't know if you saw my posting on the disaster I had. But I was told my chances were 1 in 220 and you're younger than me so your chances will be even more reduced than that! Di
