Time ticks on and there are no signs of TP emerging just yet.
I just saw there are 7 days until my due date. SEVEN DAYS! Can't believe it. My doctor decided to go her own way with my due date and work out the date of my last period, which seemed ridiculous as I knew the date of conception and really didn't know for sure the period date. She decided it would be 7th. The consultant i've been seeing chose the happy medium of 5th November. Sooooooo my due date has become v confused. What all this could mean is that we could be waiting until 19th November when they'd induce for sure. THE NINETEENTH!! I'm sure it won't be that long.
I had a really bad stitch-like pain on Saturday that I couldn't shift and it started roaming round my tummy so we were advised to pop into the hospital for monitoring. TP was fine and although they got the odd contraction (Braxton Hicks i'm sure) there was no action. I was told to take Paracetomol and come back if concerned. The pains went away.
The Dr who did have a feel around said TP's now engaged. I'm impressed with the quick flip and dive straight in. Clever baby.
I'm feeling quite heavy now. I popped to Oxford St in the pouring rain on Sunday morning (as you do when you're about to have a baby) to exhange some pj's and bras at Mothercare and had to walk (from my car) at about 1 mile an hour. I think i like it better at home at the minute. A first for me. I've been so active until now, it's just starting to hit.
My bag is now packed (mainly) and i've a separate bag with TP's provisions in it.
We've been tidying up and emptied a drawer full of old IVF drugs, needles, leaflets and vitamins etc into a bag. I'm too superstitious to chuck that (and my most recent needle bin) away just in case it jinxes anything. (I know, i know, it sounds totally mad) When I have TP in my arms (please g-d) i'll get rid of the bits. I've still got Pure.gon in my fridge - useless and out of date, but a sort of talisman. (Mad, mad, mad)
I still can't quite believe that there could be a baby at the end of this. After all the different Dr's we've talked to, the grim, silent waiting rooms, injections, clinic appointments, 2WW's, bfn's and despair. It blows my mind. I almost deleted this para as it seemed too presumptuous.
Right - i've work to do so i'll clock off. I'll post if there's any news. xx

Awwww - your post made me shed a tear!!
What a lot you have endured. Keep us posted, my dear.

You must be getting so anxious to meet TP. Hopefully you won't have to wait until the 19th for that!
I can't believe that's nearly your time. I can't wait to hear about your first experiences of being a mum.
Getting very excited for you!
7 days?? I hope you will check in frequently over the next few days, even if it is to say you are still pregnant!
Ah dear lord, not the 19th!! We can't wait until the 19th!! YOU can't wait until the 19th!! Something must be done. Okay, calming down -- I will just hope for the 4th or something like that. Take care. I'll be reading and waiting and hoping for all good things to come your way.
