    Lovely pic BZ! So pleased for you! :)

    Thinking of you Sam and Firey, hope your babies are just getting comfortable but are sticking nicely. :)

    Very annoying about having to rearrange your appointment Becca! It's a bit of a weird one at the start because you know that legally you're entitled time off for any pregnancy related appointments but you don't really want to tell everyone! I have my booking in tomorrow, which reminds me I have to go and beg a sample pot from my GP so I can take some pee with me tomorrow! Ah, the glamour! :p

    Aww BigZ, amazing :smileyhea

    ((((Samtoby and Fiery)))) I hope that your scans will say that all is well.

    OH just got home last night so we are getting excited and scared together now about being PG. I can still hardly believe it!

    I stopped once the lines on the ic weren't getting any darker, about 6 weeks. Had a reassurance scan at seven weeks and everything was perfect so just think it's a case of they don't get any darker cos the way the dye is.

    And if anyone has found different please don't tell me, I'm neurotic enough as it is lol x

    I'm feeling super-neurotic... I wish I could shake the blues, but it just feels like I've been waiting forever to get to 12 weeks!
    I think our miscarriage is still weighing on my mind a lot of the time too and I've had some poignant reminders recently - would have been my first EDD mid last month, plus I met a close friend's newborn on the weekend. So somehow despite there being no real reason to feel pessimistic I just worry about this little one all the time... I'm super-exhausted too, that doesn't help... boo...
    Thinking of you all and your worries, hope they are nothing to worry about after all xxx

    :rotfl: I was just wondering whether to use my third digital just to see if it now says 2-3 weeks instead of 1-2!:rotfl:

    France is back on. I want to have sun, sightseeing, beach and nice food (replace food with cakes). So it's 3 nights in Paris followed by an apartment for a week in Antibes, on the Cote d'Azur. :D

    Seems a shame to let it go to waste :p I have 1 digi left from this one I am tempted to do it to see what it says (at 31 weeks!)

    Lots of love and good vibes to you Fran

    I think my neurosis comes from the fact that when you've not had a successful pregnancy, only bad news, it's hard to imagine what a healthy pregnancy is like, my mind is inevitably drawn to what happened last time even though it has no influence on this one which is already going much much better.

    In my head that makes sense lol
    I just keep clinging to the statistics- the chance of two miscarriages in a row it's only 2% and having seen a heart beat at 7 weeks I have a 78% chance of a healthy pregnancy.
    Of course, that doesn't mean I don't keep convincing myself it's all over and the lady at the scan was lying to me anyway...12 weeks can't come fast enough, at least then I'll know x

    Kynthia, I tested weekly until my Digi went up to 3+! :o It's very reassuring though! :)

    Great news about France, sounds lovely! I'd love a holiday to France, maybe it can be on the list of places to take the baby! :)

    I can't wait for my holiday in September; we haven't even been thinking about it too much as we've just been focussing on getting to the 12 week scan but once that's done we'll be getting super excited about it! :) Bit of a waste to have 2 weeks all inclusive without being able to drink though! :p

    Big hugs Fran, I'm worried enough and I've never been through a MC; can't think how awful this wait must be for those of you who've previously lost babies. :(
