The most wonderful Christmas present

I wrote a couple of weeks ago to say that my body was out of whack post
D&C
as "AF" was only a tiny little bit of brown spotting ... well it turned
out
to be implantation spotting.

I got a +ve hpt last Thursday (5.5 weeks after a D&C at 9w1d), but wasn't
sure if I could believe it or whether it was still showing up from the
last
pg. My Ob saw me straight away and ordered some Beta HCGs to see what was
going on....

Well, after having to wait an extra 24 hours, the Dr finally phoned me
back
this morning (Wed) with the best Christmas present in the world.....
Its a new baby
Thursday December 18 BHCG: 4000
Monday December 22 BHCG: 28 000

He said that this looked really good, given that when I had the last lot
of
BHCGs (about two weeks before the miscarriage) they only went from 9000 to
10000 in the space of 3 days. ... and I was further along. He is not at
all
worried that we got pg without waiting for a cycle.... he just said we
were
lucky.

He also thinks I probably o'd 2 weeks after the D&C (which is what I
thought) ... and since we were careful all but once, I think we can be
fairly safe in saying that I'm about 6 weeks along. The unofficially due
date is August 18 2004 ....3 days after DD's 2nd birthday.

I'm also pleased that the nauseousness I've been feeling for the last week
and a bit is not in my head. I had nausea almost all day every day for 16
weeks with DD, and none at all with the m/c. So I'm hoping for enough to
make me feel confident, but not enough to be too nauseous

So now its more present wrapping and tidying the house for Christmas
whilst
simultaneously jumping for joy
