Hello ladies. Hope everyone is doing well.

Spotty not sure if you are still checking in but I'm so sorry for your loss and hope that you DH and DS are doing okay.

Not sure what to post cos I can't see last posts thx to new thread!

I haven't had a great couple of days. Went to GP to get blood test and got the run around and he was really just a condescending prick. I had been last weekend and he weighed me and then again this eked and he reckons I've put on 5 kgs in one week. Wouldn't listen that it was the scales from a different room etc. also had gone because I had blind spots in the low half of my right eye. I just burst into tears and was sobbing. Mum had come in withme cos I couldn't drive so she told him to shut up. I think it's time to find me a new GP.

Anyway he referred me to the hospital for an eye scan but after being there for about two hours, a full on migraine kicked in and I just decided to come home cos I couldn't handle being there in the noise and light. I think it was a migraine from the start but I just didn't have the pain until later.

Still got all day sickness and just been really tired and quite depressed for some reason so made myself take dog out for a short walk today. And wash all the bedding. It's a start I guess.

Anyway 9 weeks. Only 31 to go. Booked nt scan for 3 April.

Yes still reading, you lot are still my buddies.

SOrry to hear about oyur bad GP experience frogga, maybe find a nice new one

We are coping ok, lots of extra cuddles with DD and DH has been wonderful, as usual. I have a appointment in Tuesday to get a u/s and b/t before they will go any step further, so hoping that i can move on after that, hoping to book in for a D & C afte Tues, so we can go on holidays on the following week, and have a relaxing break with this awful period behind us.

hi to everyone else.

spotty.

Frogga, I am having a bit of tension headache and body aches at the moment. I am sure this phase will pass soon for us and we will be enjoying the second trimester. I hope your eye gets better, not a nice feeling to have sight affected. Hope the resting does the trick.

Spotty, been thinking of you. Glad that you are feeling better. You seem a strong lady. Glad to hear that DH is so lovely. D&C would really be the best so your family can move forward. Wishing you a wonderful relaxing healing time during your coming break.

AFM : Saw my TCM practitioner yesterday. He just came back from Taiwan and his staff did not inform him that we are pregnant. When we sat down, he asked, 'So have you been massaging yourself still?' DH and I laughed and told him we are already 8 weeks. He was very pleased to hear that finally we have got the results after seeing him almost 1 year. He listened to my pulse and baby's pulse, apparently he is very accurate and said that a baby girl is talking back at him....Time will tell if he is correct!

Hello ladies! I'm back! Guests have departed and it's back to reality (work) tomorrow, darn it.

How is everyone going?

Siobhan, thank you so much for popping in!! Wow, twins! Congratulations, I didn't even realize you'd had your BFP. That's lovely news. All the best for June. I checked out your blog and I reckon I have seen you at our clinic. I'll keep an eye out for you at the OB's too (if we are indeed going to the same one, what a funny coincidence!) My first appt isn't for *ages* yet though, another 3.5weeks to go.

M2ODS, I am still losing hair as per normal. A girlfriend tells me she noticed way less hair drop from the 2nd trimester. Maybe that's when it kicks in? I'm also getting headaches. Excellent there's more girl vibes heading your way!

Frogga, that migraine sounds awful, poor thing. I get vomiting type migraines but not too often thankfully. Definitely time for a new GP. That's rubbish the way he treated you. Not on at all.

Wishful, no more spotting I hope?

Spotty, I've been thinking of you. I hope things resolve soon for you, it really does help with closure. I had a long wait after my last m/c waiting for it to happen naturally (it didn't) then waiting till my FS could perform the D&C.

Lorem, Hoping, puffsgirl hope things are going well with you all.

AFM, I had an apple for dinner. Feeling green alot of the time but nothing too bad. The tiredness is pretty full on, though. Still getting lots of cramps, some quite sharp. I wish I could take a sneaky peek inside to see if bean is still kicking on. 8w tomorrow, and another week till next scan (at 9w) which is probably when my FS will hand me over to the OB, if all is going to plan.

Hi Indigo, you must have had a wonderful time with your friends. An apple for dinner? That's all? Hehe I feel so sinful... U are a vegetarian? Did you mention it before?

AFM : WOw last arvo and throughout night I was having this pretty irritating uncomfortable sorta sharp right groin pain...I cant even describe it much but I was extremely miserable...i feel like I am having a twisted right hip too. on top of that still woke up at least 4 times just to pee a little out. I feel like seeing a chiropractor for adjustments but DH is quite unhappy with it. He said not sure if seeing the chiropractor was the reason why I m/c the previous time....ermmm makes me feel rather scared but at the same time silly...i just want to feel better...feel like my bones are a bit out of whack.

Oh someone mentioned about having really weird dreams....I have been doing just that...I dream so much and my dreams are out of this world....so weird!

[puffsgirl11]

Mum2OneDS – I hope you get on top of that pain so that you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

Indigo – Good luck for your scan. I hope all goes well.

Spottydog - I am so sorry to hear what happened at your scan. I know the god awful feeling that happens when you look at the screen and see nothing. I had a D&C after my blighted ovum and it was the best thing I could of done. I had a D&C because I was going to the Foo Fighters concert and wanted to enjoy it and not worry as to whether I would start to miscarry at the concert. Good luck!

Frogga – I am sorry to hear things have been horrible for you lately. I find it hard to believe that you have put on 5kg in one week.

Hello to everyone else I have missed. I hope pregnancy is treating you all well.

AFM – Not much to report. The lovely ms has kicked in but luckily no vomiting yet. I find I struggle in the mornings. I just can’t tolerate any food or fluids until about lunch time. Haven’t posted in here much as I feel weird about posting about pregnancy until after my 8 week scan. I am just scared I will see the same thing as my last scan. Oh well, only 2 weeks to go.

[Wishful thinking]

Morning ladies,

Well back to work after a public holiday here yesterday so was a real struggle to get out of bed.

Frogga, def time for a new GP. I don't believe that you would have put on 5kgs in a week either. There are so many different factors to take into account, time of day, what you have had to drink and hello, the biggie like you said, different scales (duh). Sorry to hear you had a migraine, I read they are pretty common during pregnancy.

Indigo, welcome back! Hope you had an enjoyable week of birthday celebrations with your house guests.
I was 8 weeks yesterday too and very happy to be over that hurdle. My next scan is on Monday too at 9 weeks only mine will be at my first OB appt. Sounds like we are treading the same path.... No more spotting thankfully. Just lasted that one day, weird! I'm still having a few crampy pains too but I can't work out what's digestive pains. Started on the pear juice so hopefully that will help.

M2O, what my scientific method of determining gender may be incorrect? Who would have thought! Guess we will have to wait and see! Are you going to find out what you are having?

Puffsgirl, sorry to hear the ms has kicked in. How many weeks are you now? I'm feeling the same, pretty nauseous first thing then seem to come good around lunchtime, only to feel queasy again early evening.

Lorem, Hi how are you travelling? You must be nearly at 2nd trimester now? What do we have to look forward to?

Spotty, hope you are okay hun, thinking of you.

Hi Hoping and anyone else popping in.

Afm, just hanging out for my 9 week OB appt. want to see the heartbeat again and make sure everything's still on track. Feeling so so tired and queasy most of the time but no more vomiting lately. Looking forward to the Easter break to get away and have a good rest.

Wishful.

Puffsgirl, I think I will see a chiropractor to do some adjustments cos I really do feel my right hip is twisted. It is uncomfortable.

Wishful, I wish to see my baby's heartbeat again but must wait till 27 March to see my OB...wait again.... My TCM practitioner says he is 95% sure but DH is just skeptical haha...anyway after seeing him, I started calling baby 'cheeky girl' already. DH and DS are still up for a boy. Yes DH and I are going to find out the gender so we can start shopping.

Have you told people yet? We have just told a few persons who have been asking DH what happened to me as I have been MIA. Of cos family is the first one to know. I read that first trimester is till 14 weeks, not 12 weeks.

[puffsgirl11]

Wishful Thinking – I was 6 weeks yesterday. Finally got my sore boobs yesterday. I would laugh when everyone told me that my symptoms would kick in at 6 wks, but funnily enough that is exactly what happened.
I hope your first day back at work is going ok.

Mum2oneDS – Def get that hip checked out.
We have told both sets of parents and a couple of my friends that have supported us throughout our entire IVF journey.

Hanging out for my scan. I just want to see a healthy strong heartbeat/s. I think this TWW will be longer than the actual TWW. Today my Mum gave me a Women’s Weekly Your Baby book from 1981 that was given to her when she was pregnant with me. The stuff in the book is cracking me up, soooooooooooooo outdated!
