    Thanks all - hormones are a problem at the moment, I'm currently sat in tears because you're all so lovely :o

    I am obsessed with pregnancy tests at the moment - I'm doing one every 2/3 days just to make sure the lines are getting darker - not very MSE but at least I'm using cheapie ones from ebay :o

    I slept a bit better last night than I have been doing so I'm hoping that will help, and I'm on day 3 of the oral antibiotics so hopefully I'll be feeling brighter soon. I need to be - I need to save for mat leave, not have unpaid sick leave :eek:

    Thanks all, now a few important phone calls have taken place I can tell you all on here too....

    We are having a baby :D

    We found out 10 days ago and it's super early days and makes it so much worse being so poorly at the moment because all I'm doing is worrying about the baby and the effect my illness might be having - especially with my temperature sky rocketing and it still isn't anywhere near normal.

    We have a scan in 2 weeks to see if everything is progressing ok and check if there is a heartbeat.

    We contemplated keeping it to ourselves until the 12 week scan, but we both figure that if anything should happen, I don't want to have to keep it a secret and I'm excited to tell everyone here who has been part of the last 2 years of working towards this :D

    Kirsty I am so so happy for you! I can't think of anyone who deserves this more! Huge hug of joy! :T:T:T

    Thank you :D

    Weirdly enough, everyone kept telling me just to relax and I was getting very angry at that advice but it actually happened in Bulgaria - where I drank lots of cocktails and enjoyed some time in the sun. Don't get me wrong, I carried on with taking my temperature and ovulation predictor kits so I didn't exactly give up and just enjoy myself but I'm sure the time away worked wonders :)
