My father has been in hospital for 3.5 weeks. I can’t visit him because hospital visiting “instructions” are such that children, elderly, infirm and pregnant women shouldn’t visit because the risk of infection (with the Winter vomiting bug) is so high. When we went to visit at Easter I told my mother that [...]

At approximately 23 days post conception a primitive S-shaped tubal heart is beating.
How wild is that? I am so completely loving the Visible Embryo website.
The clocks are changing tonight. Heparin has a 15 minute window in which to be taken so unless I want to change the time I take it by a [...]

‘Kid’ was born last night. The Lord is indeed merciful and has granted to this wonderful family a MONSTER weight little boy.
Now all they need to do is name him!

The reassurance got from the lovely new beta number is GONE! I am back to being in the “nothing to see, nothing to feel, what’s going on?” darkness. I can’t POAS because there is no point now that I have done the Pregynl shot. Obviously that means that another beta is out [...]

It has been a long day which hasn’t helped the general overall nausea & exhaustion. D woke at 5.40am and [...]

My veins weren’t very forthcoming today. It took a nurse & a doctor 5 attempts (into 4 different veins) to get 2mls of blood to run the test. I had to bring the blood to the lab because it took so long to get it out of my unwilling veins.
They rang at [...]

Patience is not my virtue

As you may have already guessed I don’t do waiting very well. Yesterday I convinced myself that this is a chemical pregnancy and that tomorrows beta would be lower than Fridays. I had convinced myself because of a lack of “symptoms”. I decided that I would POAS (Pee on a stick) tomorrow [...]

Someone asked me what a beta is so here we are:
hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) is the pregnancy hormone (no idea why the h is small) and it is the thing that a home pregnancy test picks up. It is produced by the embryo when it implants into the uterine lining and goes on to [...]
