    Hi CB,

    OH and I went for tests there but when I had my scan (to check everything was where it should be), there was a sac (5 wks) on the screen, so it never went much further... DS is now 7.

    Had a horrific time there when I MC'd a few years ago.

    What is it you are wanting to know? (are you allowed to name somewhere? it could lead to you being ID)

    Good Luck with your appointment. XX

    don't know what I want to know really!! Just apprehensive about the first appointment so thought I'd try to find out as much as possible (not sure if that will help!!!)

    Have you been before?

    There will be lots of pg women waiting for scans, I found that quite difficult... but fore-warned is fore-armed (or something like that).

    No, never been before. First appointment about fertility away from GP - quite nervous, partly about what we'll find out!

    Had a feeling there'd be loads of pg ladies! oh well..maybe me one day!!

    thanks for the heads up

    Fingers crossed for you honey.

    We'd given up trying / believing (after 5 yrs) that we'd ever be parents, then DS came along and suprised everyone.;)

    Hope you get your sticky bean (and that Greenoaks can help it along, if need be):)
