January 2011 babies!

Yes Appy I agree - we're not buying anything until 2nd trimester too - I'm still swaying towards waiting until we get back from 2 wks o/seas (I'll be 14 wks by then) until we tell family. DH wants to tell them next weekend with a copy of tomorrows scan as an intro... provided it all goes well of course!

To be honest I've been having nightmares of blighted ovums, empty sac's, ectopic etc for 2 weeks now - just can't sleep through the night anymore so tomorrow will be a reality check for me hopefully! Then I might feel better about telling family & closest friends in a week or so... we'll see I guess!

Trying to stay positive but I'm just soooo anxious... is this normal or am I just being a complete drama queen who needs a jolly good slapping???

Totally normal And sometimes I think it's best to be prepared for the worst, but to hope for the best. I had some spotting at 7/8 weeks last time, and was convinced it was all over, but everything turned out fine.

I think we'll tell people much earlier this time around - we waited till about 13 weeks last time, but it was so hard waiting that long, and I figure if anything does happen, I'd rather people would know so they could be somewhat supportive.

Just booked in with a midwife, and she's sending out forms for blood/urine test and early scan. Won't actually meet her till about 10/11 weeks, but at least half our coffee group has been with her, and they all love her! Wasn't totally happy with my midwife last time, so will be interesting seeing how different things are with this new MW. Will probably wait till about 7 weeks for the scan, as I want to make sure it's late enough to see the heartbeat

Feeling nauseous all day, but pretty low-grade, and nothing that's really bothering me. Will be up late again tonight lesson planning. sigh.

Thanks Mum21, Blondy & Fox01 - paranoia settling a little.

I think its because being 40 yrs old & this being our first (and being told 4 weeks ago from Fert Specialist [before we found out we were UTD] we only had a 1-2% chance of getting pregnant on clomid & a 50% chance of MC'ing if we do) that my mind keeps playing games with me...

Roll on 12.40pm so I can relax (a little).

Sorry for those who are feeling a bit , I haven't had any thank goodness - just mega sore (.)(.)    

Hope you're feeling better soon chickadees!

Welcome to everyone and congrats on all you BFP's.
Wannabe I'm sure you will feel better after the scan, will be thinking of you and like Appy hanging out for an update.
OK so what else has been talked about........ I'm 29 and DP's 31 so kind of average I guess age wise.
We have already told our close family and friends. We did last time as well and I didn't regret telling anyone at all as I really needed the support when it all went pear shaped.

LOL I'm lurking too to see Wannabe's scan results. Appy hun, were you having more bloods today?

oooh Im waiting on wannabes scan results too!! I was thinking of her today!

Awesome hun, there's loads of us out there cheering you and bubs along, you're off to a good start though aye!!! Yeah I only got the one scan at 7 week and then next one at 12 weeks. Though I would have thought with IVF they might have given you an earlier one, just goes to show how you assume things.   

Hey Asics I probably could get an earlier scan but no doubt would have to pay extra for it so may as well wait. Not that I have much patience in the waiting department lol

Haha I'm lurking too, hope everything went ok Wannabe

Blondy if I went to my gp I could probably get an early scan for free, but I am with Fertility Associates and yep they charge for most everything if you are paying privately

I would consider going to my gp but ahhh well being under FAH I will probably just wait lol
