Not so great news for me, bleeding has picked up despite being on progesterone, and last night I began to have a very strong intuitive feeling that the embryo has stopped growing. Just feel not pregnant anymore, kind of lighter or something, can't really describe it. Starting to get a bit crampy tonight too. I'm gonna go in tomorrow and have one more blood test just to make sure, but I'd be very surprised if it showed much of an hcg increase. I kept taking the prog today just in case & to see what it has done for my blood prog levels so we know if i ever need it again, but I'll probably stop tomorrow. I'm oddly ok with this and not upset at all besides just bummed that we have to start over, I think with all this worry and complications I already knew something was wrong and i wasn't as attached. With my dd I never had any doubts or worries. So we'll just have to try again and hopefully everything will go much smoother now that my thyroid level is healthy. I'll update you Friday with my test results anyway.

I hope it doesn't stick around too long for you Blah
Thank you. I have been sick 5 times since I woke up at 7.30 so I feel exhausted and hope this isnt the start of hyperemesis. I have work on Friday and no way would be able to go with the way I am feeling, so I have a doctors phone appointment tomorrow.
Oh no that sounds awful! O hope you get some relief.
.
Long before I had kids I dreamed of having a blue eyed blond haired girl, several times.
Met my husband, who has dark hair and green eyes and I have brown hair and eyes and felt it would never happen. I guessed I was having a boy, because my husband really wanted a boy, but deep down I knew she was a girl. Our girl name kept whispering itself to me (though we chose another) though I did not have any dreams. I knew her birthday too, though ended up having labour augmented due to prolonged rupture of membranes which ended up bringing her birthday ahead a day. My second daughter I knew her birthday too, though didn't have any dreams where we knew her gender and I never had strong feelings on that regard.
When pregnant with one of the babies I lost I had a crazy vivid dream about birthing twins in a birth pool in my living room. I also had the 20th in my head as the birthday but couldn't get a feel of the month, whether I would go early or late. After I miscarried I realised it was on the 20th
Then with my son I knew from the first he was a boy. Again I had twin dreams and at times I could feel the timid presence of a girl too, but she felt like she wasn't ready to be born. I didn't have any scans to know but I feel like perhaps it was a vanishing twin and her presence lingered for a long time after as I was more than halfway along before the feeling I was having a girl as well faded for good. Though I was wrong about his birthday by a week. I was sure he was going to be born over Easter and he came 9 days earlier. But I also begged him to come between a certain range when my photographer friend could attend, which he did and my friend made it. So perhaps he would have come at Easter without my begging.
Very oddly I haven't had any particular feelings on gender or birthday yet for this one. Perhaps because I've not yet allowed myself to get attached yet due to my history, though I don't have the uneasy feeling of something not being right that I had with my miscarriages so I'm sure it's going to be all right. As with my other pregnancies I knew when implantation happened and had vivid pregnancy dreams before my bfp showed up. But then I had several dreams of needing to do major car seat reconfigurations because of multiples, but the memory wasn't as clear as vivid dreams usually are for me (but I usually don't even feel like I dream at all otherwise) so I didn't know how many car seats. A few nights later I dreamt of hiring an au pair to help with our triplets :saywha:
I wasn't going to get an ultrasound again the time either, but I have a strong sense I need to, and I'm holding off to 12-14 weeks for it. Twins I could handle but I don't know what I'll do if it's three LOL.

I'm so sorry to hear this
I really hope you're wrong but I know how intuitive you are so it seems unlikely unless maybe vanishing twin you've lost connection with. Curlymike congrats on the positive scan
How is everyone doing? I told my mom about the pregnancy yesterday and she was over the moon. Unfortunately I don't think I will get the same response from the inlaws. Deffo gonna wait untill at least 12 weeks to tell them. Has anyone else told yet?

I have told a good few people .. I know maybe I've jinx myself but when j saw that heartbeat flickering I was so happy baby was alive I wanted to shout it from the rooftop ha! I didn't do that though. My mom already knew as she knew I'd fertility treatment.
But my close friends and family know as in siblings, parents and grandparents basically the people I would lean on if anything went wrong

As for telling people - Ive told dh and one good friend at work, plus another good friend (who is also my brother's girlfriend - he doesn't know yet though).
I had to tell my boss, since the doctor has given me sick leave due to nausea and dizziness. (In Poland, sick leave is normally 80% paid, but if its during pregnancy its 100% paid by the government - meaning that there is a different code on the sicknote, so the office would know anyway).
Ive told my parents over Skype (they are in South Africa, I won't see them until late April). My mother was screaming ALOT (out of joy).
We've also told my father in law and his girlfriend. Dh and father in law has a company together and see each other every day, so dh couldn't keep the secret much longer.
After our first scan this Monday, we will probably tell the rest of the family (mother in law, sister in law, brother etc). And i think we will wait until the 20 week scan before announcing publicly.

Most of our close friends and family knew that we were doing IVF and a FET so quite a few people know already. We didn't tell anyone the exact date of our FET so that we can tell our parents in person when we see them in March. I'll probably tell me managers if we get to 12 weeks, and then not bother telling anyone else until I start to show and can't even hide it anymore!
My other kids don't know yet but yesterday my daughter asked why we don't have another baby and my one son actually said I look pregnant this morning so it should be interesting to see their reactions. We have to wait before telling them though because they will tell everybody......

Thanks for the support ladies, means a lot! Had my blood taken at noon, now just have to wait til the morning for results. 
Bleeding is even worse today, sorry tmi but lot of clots, and getting crampy, not very hopeful for a good result. Feeling a bit weird and spacey today for some reason.

Has anyone weighed themselves? I had originally gained 4lb but have lost 3 of those so Im 1lb up as of the morning. I gained 4st with each of my other pregnancies and want to avoid that so badly! Yesterday I i managed some porridge and some pasta and garlic bread for dinner which is good as the day before was zero! I have a sick line for a week and a prescription for some anti sickness tablets so hopefully Ill notice the diff but also hopefully I dont gain a massive appetite back! Really want to keep it under 2 stone so a 10lb gain or so be perfect by 20 weeks.
