2015 MARCH-MALLOWS... Due in March 2015!! Come join us!

[MamaTex]

I decided to do my first blood draw on Thursday this week and was told I should be around when I get results. Waiting for 10:00am to get here because that is when the lab opens. Hopefully I have my results by the afternoon.

Hi to the new people!!

New symptom for me: smelling things really strongly that make me want to puke! Yesterday morning when I got up and opened my bedroom door, my house smelled of dog soooo badly (nobody else in the house could smell it) but it made me gag and I opened all the windows in the house! Then later for dinner I was preparing some hamburger patties and the smell of the raw meat was so gross to me I almost threw all of the meat away because I was convinced it had gone bad! I brought it outside to DH and FIL to smell and they said it smelled fine. What! Barf!

Boobs are still sore but no real morning sickness yet. One or two times a day I catch myself feeling a little queezy, but nothing major.

Doctor said since my scan showed a sac, yolk and a probable fetal pole I don't have to get my blood drawn anymore. Just waiting for Friday to roll around, my next scan to check for a heartbeat. I'll be 6W4D.

I always get really nervous weeks 6-8 because it's when the heart and other vital organs form :crazy: if I get past 8 weeks with no issues and a healthy scan I'll basically be worry free. I might even announce my pregnancy then! I read after 8 weeks, you have a 95% chance of the pregnancy continuing. I hate worrying so much!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Chelsea that is so reassuring to know! Can't wait until my 8 week scan so I can relax a little. If everything is good I'm going to buy a doppler for more reassurance. Roll on 18 days time!

 

[missfrick]

Today my test line was darker than the control! I'm starting to feel more reassured and less panicky about everything...

 

[dan-o]

Wow only 6 days to wait Chelsea!

Hanni hope your 18 days go by quickly too! Love dopplers, best invention ever, can't wait to unpack mine again

Missfrick that is one beautiful line!! I'm going to do my last proper ones tomorrow, I did a strip test today and it was blazing like yours! Sight for sore eyes

Good luck for your test results mamatex

I was considering a Doppler, but I'd probably obsessed over it... Let us know how you like it though, I'd be curious to hear it's it's worth it...

I will do! From what I've heard other people say about them they are. And you can get them from amazon/ebay for around £35-45 so they're not too expensive. Going to get a sonoline B one. I'm sure you can get others even cheaper.

I love how men deal with things differently.
I sit on my phone and look at prams/baby clothes and advice on pregnancy and he sits and looks for family sized cars.
He's selling his beloved 2 seater boys toy for a nice 4 door family car. How sweet hahaha.

Anyone else's OH like this? Not interested in the baby parts, just the manly changes.

 

[MamaTex]

Hmm. I just called the lab I got my blood drawn for and I got a message that they were closed. I spoke to someone who was supposedly the Operations Manager when I went in and he said they would be back open like normal today. Maybe they are just opening later on today. I will try back again later. It would suck to have to wait until Monday.

Just did my clear blue digital. Got my 3+ I know it doesn't mean much but these early weeks seem to be going so slowly. It's nice to see the word pregnant too! :-D

Congrats to you! At first I mis-read and thought you said it's nice to see the "world' pregnant and I thought that was cute. But yes, nice to see the "word" too

 

[sweetmere]

Hey ladies. This is my second Marchie. First Marchie was due 3/13, born 3/20 and this baby is also due 3/13.

Can't wait!!!!

Congrats!! How exciting indeed!

I am due March 4th, if it doesn't get changed. That's kind of cool, because it's my husband's birthday. Of course, not too many babies are actually born on their due dates, but we'll see!

 

[Mya209]

I got my letter. My bookig appointment is on the 30th! Woo! I just wish I felt pregnant! It's very odd at this early stage. I've now got a strong BFP lines on ICs which makes me feel better as they were barely there faint before!

Wow, Chelsea, I'm right there with you. The heightened sense of smell, and gagging at the smells. My husband had left something in the sink trap from the morning, and by the time I got home in the evening it smelled so bad to me that I gagged from going anywhere near it. Sore boobs, occasional queasiness but no vomiting... Sounds like we're having exactly the same symptoms! At least, as of yesterday, meat wasn't bothering me. I cooked up some meatballs for me and DD and they were so good! I'm really wanting red meat the last few days. Maybe I need more iron or something.

Good luck, I hate waiting. I had second levels done Wednesday and called as soon as they opened Thursday. They said the doc hadn't looked at them yet and I had to wait 2 hours, which was bad enough. Don't they know us preggies are nervous enough?

Lol they must like to see us squirm


It's okay. When I went in Thursday, I asked about when I would receive results. I was told that the office was closed Friday, but they would be open Saturday. I thought this was too good to be true given this is 4th of July weekend, but I trusted he knew when his office would be open. Well, it's not. I called around to another location (the company is Any LAb Test now) and heard the same recorded message.

I am taking comfort in that I am getting hungrier and need to eat every 2 hours and my sense of smell has sharpened.

Reading these posts is making me feel very grateful for the lab at my local clinic. Maybe it's just because I've had miscarriages, but the doc ordered the labs stat, and I called and got my results one hour after the blood draw. The nurse did initially tell me that the doctor hadn't reviewed the results yet, but I asked her to tell me the number anyway, since I don't need any help interpreting the results. They've always given me the number if I asked.
