For those that did Panorama with Thomson, how long in terms of the no. of days did it take to receive the results?

normal due to the iron in the multi vitamin. Can make you constipated too.

its better to be hydrated than dehydrated! I drank a lot of gassy drinks my last pregnancy to help on v bad days.

I didn't tell him, neither did I tell the midwife. I didn't bother the midwife much during my labour but it was quite annoying that every hour they kept asking if I wanted epidural when I was clearly not in much pain.

aspirin was just a tablet. I didnt have to have any injections. hcg blood tests every 2 to 3 days, for 3 to 4 times in the early weeks just to check that it doubles as per normal.

Normal for our basal body temp to be a bit higher during pregnancy.

First day of previous menses. If you count from ovulation (for those with long cycles) you have to add 2 weeks. So you should be 4 to 5 weeks along

Actually if you are 8 days late, you should already be at week 5 to 6. It is calculated from your last menstrual period (LMP).
