Same with me too.

Hope everyone's doing well. Was out today with the girls are they chose a nice blanket and sleep suit for baby they're so excited bless them.

I got a clear blue digi to do in the morning. One of the ones that estimates how many weeks you are. Promised OH I'll do no more tests are it

I can't get my head around all this dating stuff and it's driving me crazy. Hoping some of you ladies that know more about conception might be able to help me out.

Right so - I had my last period ROUGHLY dec 23rd ish. There was a lot going on with Christmas etc so I can't really remember exact dates.

I had the conception implant removed on January 8th

Since then we did the deed approx every second day.

I got my bfp on 2nd Feb.

So is there anyway of me attempting to work out dates better than I have? Going by my last period like you would usually I could be 6 weeks but I presumed not cause I had the implant in for another two weeks after? Is that how it works?

Would you say the 4 weeks (potentially 3) is probably Accurate?

It's really driving me crazy not knowing. I've been on conception calculators etc but I've no idea.

I've been up for 50 minutes and have been getting caught up on all that I missed!

Sorry I have been mia, with all that has been going on with me I've taken a step back from bnb to help with my stress. I will update you all though. I started getting hcg beta done last week on thursday. On Sunday I started spotting and with the cramping on the right side decided to go to the er. They were concerned about ectopic because the could see nothing in the uterus and I had some free flowing blood in the adnexa and blood in the endometrial canal. On Wednesday on had an appt with my ob. They did another hcg and ultrasound. The ultrasound was still concerning for them so they brought me back in yesterday for another ultrasound. On this ultrasound they said there was less blood in the endometrium and they saw a gestational sac. So things were looking better. I go back again Monday for another ultrasound. They said I will keep getting ultrasounds until we see a heartbeat And rule out ectopic.

Thursday (first hcg) -32
Saturday - 87
Monday (er visit) - 172
Wednesday (ob appt) -713

Sorry for the novel just wanted to update you ladies and let u know I'm still around. Also should add the only symptom I have is sore nips, and cramps (if those are considered a symptom )

Hope you all are doing wonderful and everything is going smoothly for you all.

Sorry natasha, I've never used any kind of contraception (besides condoms) so I have less than no clue. I guess what you need to find out is how long after having the implant removed you would typically ovulate? But I bet that varies so maybe you'll have to wait till you have a scan?

Tink that's so stressful the numbers look to be going up nicely though. And it's great that they found a sac in the right place. When is your next scan?

I've no idea cause I had the implant in for nearly three years and only had a period every three months on it. I got my bfp 25 days after my implant came out. Does it take 2 weeks after conception roughly for it to show on a test? Think that's what I read somewhere. It's all so confusing but driving me mad not knowing if i could potentially be closer to six weeks or as little as three.

Thanks for your thoughts thoughts tho

My next scan is monday. They are hoping to see the gestational sac get bigger

That is confusing. 3-6 weeks is a wide range, I would have thought the CB digital could give you a better idea which week you were in as it gives readings of either 1-2 (3-4 weeks), 2-3 (4-5 weeks) and 3+ (5+ weeks).

 

[Serenjay]

Welcome back Tink glad all is going well for you with the sac and numbers..I have my 1st scan monday.

I have just come back from the pharmacy.. the past 3 evenings/nights my feet-ankles have been itching like crazy!!! he said it seems to be pregnancy hormones and has it spread? I said yes so he told me to buy E45 itch releif and put it in the fridge and put cold things on my feet/legs and it will help as I cant take antihistamines unless I see a Dr.. if it gets worse I have to see my gp... itch itch itch!!!

I know, right!

I'm doing the clear blue digi in the morning with the same thought process of making the weeks clearer.

That's good then. Let us know how you get on.

I'm confused on my dates as well. I stopped birth control in November and had a period like I was supposed to. Then again, 2 weeks late on December 27. Got a light positive on Jan 30. According to LMP, I would be due earlier, but I would have gotten a positive way sooner as well. Thinking I ovulated around the 21st but I really have no clue. Hopefully, my appt on monday can give me some insight.

I'm feeling pretty good. Last night, I was so nauseous that I ate dinner 2 hours later than everyone else. This bloating though! How long am I going to be able to keep this one a secret? I know you show sooner with consecutive children.

 

[tallybee]

Tink i am glad things have been looking hopeful, fingers crossed that continues with next scan

Natasha I hope the digi sheds some light on your dates, I have no idea how else to count it until scan. I'm lucky I came off Pill and went right into normal cycles and conceived in the second cycle so can go by LMP easily. Still confused though lol!

Britt I hope your appt sheds some light for you too.

As for me - I am absolutely, utterly exhausted, doing the smallest of things exhausts me! Very annoying, there's so much to do!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've just trawled through to find my old pg journal from 2011, just to see when my ms started when I was having Xander. It kicked in full force around 5+6. I really hope I'm sinking into pokey misery by Friday

Wishing for morning sicknrss?!? It's amazing what we'd happily take for some extra reassurance Eh

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Haha yep!

Remind me of this if my mardying next weekend

 

[Natasha2605]

Haha I'm sure we will.

I take bouts of nausea for an hour here and there through the day. Usually an hour in the morning, hour in afternoon and hour at night. Hate feeling sick

But the thought of actually being sick makes me feel sad lol. All that wasted food
