Congrats A1983. I know its always good to see a yolk sac. When I had a blighted ovum, the yolk sac never appeared so I get really excited when there is a yolk sac!

Lets hope the 2 weeks goes really fast!

MrsNJR - whats happened to you? We haven't had an update in a while...

 

[MrsNJR]

I'm still here!!! Not been on for a few days but just had a good read through to catch up with everyone's progress.

1983 - deffo a yolk sac is a great sign! I too had a BO first time, and there was nothing, literally just a empty black gestational sac.

You asked about the yolk sac being part of the baby - it's not part of the baby, it is what "feeds" the baby in the early weeks until the placenta takes over fully at 12 weeks. On our 7 week scan we could see a very clear "ring" which was the yolk sac, and the actual baby was much smaller in size than the yolk sac, and as I said previously it was kind of "all heart beat", the whole thing seemed to be pulsing, and it was just a white fuzzy blob.

Manny - how many weeks are u now? I hope u r feeling well. Great to have friends due to close to u, my best friend is due 2 days after me! Well be lovely to go through it all together, and we'll both be off on mat leave at same time etc.

Xxx

Mrs NJR - I'm glad things are still going well with you. When is your next scan? You must be close to the big 12 weeks now...

Very sadly one of the girls that was due the same day as me discovered at her scan this week that there was a massive growth next to the baby in the sac and it had caused severe damage. Apparently it is very rare and is considered a medical emergency so they had to terminate the same day. Very sad for her and her husband

Happy Friday ladies. Bring on the weekend! x

Hey gals! sorry I have been MIA, it was thanksgiving here in the states, so family, turkey, pies lots of fun! One week exactly till my next scan WHOO HOOO! Oh yes, I got a NEW JOB!! In this economy, being a new graduate im VERY thankful!! although I will be working night shift,(charge nurse) till a morning spot opens up! I hope it will be easy for me to transition the sleep pattern. My 2&4 year old are now going to have to go to daycare! ahh, so here i go to search away!

 

[bazzb]

Congrats on your new job

Question ladies.. im on CD 10 period stopped around monday and some spotting on tuesday... none since, then today i went to the washroom and I had some brown discharge.. this has NEVER happened to me before.. any ideas?

 

[A1983]

Yes love, I'd say it's just the ending of the 'weird first period' most of us ladies get after a mc. Shouldn't affect your ovulation dates. See what the others say but that's my feeling on it, and it's normal and you are perfectly ok

 

[bazzb]

Thx
Just a little more this am hope it goes away soon

 

[xoxo4angel]

Hi ladies! I've been über busy with post Thanksgiving activities...I will be back later to catch up. Hope this finds you all well.

 

[bazzb]

Hi angel- hope you had a great thanks giving!

How are you other ladies today?

AFM im trying to fig out this chart stuff lol... my temp seems to rise then fall for a few days and then rise again.. maybe because this weekend i took it at little earlier one day and a little later the other.. who knows

 

[xoxo4angel]

1983 ~ Yay for a yolk sac!

Manny ~ What an adorable pic of baby! It amazes me how much they grow in the first trimester. Since we have a 50/50 shot on guessing gender, I'm going to say.....girl!

Mrs ~ Hope you and LO are well!

Jess ~ Good luck with with the night shift and finding a suitable daycare.

Bazz ~ Spotting post 1st AF is super common like 1983 said. Almost anything is "normal" at this point!

AFM ~ Sorry I didn't update sooner. We drive to my sister's for Turkey Day and I was distracted. My scan Tuesday showed a 13mm follie. RE said I'd get a +ve OPK on Friday and O on Saturday. I'm not sure if it was the HSG, me mistaking premenstral spotting for CD1 or the lack of sleep these past 3 days, but my OPK didn't go +ve until this morning (my CBFM is at peak too). DH was a doll yesterday (guess he saw I was bummed that my OPK wasn't +ve). He told me my egg was trying to come in stealth, so we needed to catch her by surprise! Looks like we'll be dtd for the next few days!

Hi ladies - hope all is well with everyone!

Angel - hooray for Ov! Get busy girl! And bring on the 2WW. What an awesome Christmas present this could be for you and DH!

Jess - congrats on new job. Hope it goes great for you and that the night shifts aren't too difficult.

Bazz - as the girls say, your cycle will probably be all over the place for a while. I have had a couple of cycles (not mc-related) where I've had spotting at time of ovulation. Not sure about the temps all over the place but know that anything is possible and everything is "normal" for a while after mc.

A1983 - how are you doing? How long till scan now?

MrsNJR - hope all is good with you?

FMS - not much news. All seems to still be going well although I have had a little bit of cramping this weekend (I think constipation-related - sorry TMI) and my lower back has been giving me a few aches. Thank goodness for the doppler though as I do LOVE using it every few days to listen to little heartbeat! Today is my due date from my second loss. It has totally snuck up on me. Got into work this morning and reminder popped up saying "DUE DATE". I'm feeling a little guilty that I haven't been thinking about it more but my mind has been totally focussed on this little one. I feel that when today is over, all the bad stuff is behind me and all the good stuff is still to come. It is quite a milestone! And my next milestone is officially entering the second trimester on Thursday when I turn 14 weeks!

Hope everyone has a lovely week!
xx

 

[A1983]

Hello ladies! I hope you are all well-just a flying reply for now as at work but wanted to ask if any of you suffer/suffered from cystitis during the first tri? I had it with my last pregnancy and was given amoxicillin but eventhough I'm sure there is no connection I'd rather not take it this pregnancy. It's not the worst I've had and it may go with the copious amounts of water I'm drinking...Dr ringing me at half 3 to tell me if I can use those sachets...

I'm feeling pretty sick atm..not been sick but feel on the verge sometimes xxx

Sorry for the quick reply

 

[xoxo4angel]

1983 ~ I'm not familiar with cystitis...what is it exactly? Sorry you are having a touch of MS.

Manny ~ I forgot to say I am sorry to hear of your friend's loss. I hope she is recovering/coping as well as can be expected.

Good morning Mrs & Jessica

Bazz ~ How are you?

 

[LVnMommy]

Oh gosh. MS has hit, hard !!! And on my first day of work. At least it means my bean is cooking.up good on there!!!

 

[A1983]

Urine infection/stings when you wee!

 

[A1983]

Yes thats what I say about it too Jessica! Are you actually being sick? Currently sitting on loo at work-stinging from my wee and gagging from the ms and all the water!!

 

[xoxo4angel]

1983 ~ Oh no! Not comfy...I'd say take the antibiotic. You don't want it to turn into a bad infection!

Jess ~ MS is def a great sign!

It's going to be a lovely Christmas

 

[mannymoo]

Bazz - try cranberry juice for UTI. Its always helped me in the past. I never had one while pregnant though. Sorry you ladies are feeling rough. Try take it easy.

Angel - another positive OPK today? Fingers crossed fertilization is happening as I type!!

[bazzb]

hi Ladies

I am doing okay... The brown spotting is just about gone now, barely there only like one a day and it is so light.. Ive read online the first few cycles after a MC can be very odd so ill try not to pay much attention to it. I am one of those people who STRESS about everything even when i shouldnt.

hope everyone else well.

Sorry about MS ladies but they say it is a good sign
