2016 May Miracles

Just a heads up, the cvs test carries a slight risk of miscarriage.
 
Thanks everyone for the good thoughts! I hadn't posted since mentioning the spotting just because I didn't want to bring more negativity if It was unnecessary. My appointment is in the morning, so I will finally have answers! I'll of course let you all know how it goes.
 
I will only be getting the blood test I wont be getting the Amnio that's what we call it here due to the fact of a chance of MC!! :)

Scan in less than 3hrs

GL Ja hope everything goes well today!!
 
Good luck Ja and sorry to the ladies that have recently suffered losses.

After 2-3 days of spotting and not much in the way of symptoms, I can't take the worry anymore and have finally persuaded OH to let me book in for an early scan. They prefer you to be 7-8 weeks so all booked for 12th October. Now for a tense week or so.
 
Sis - Amniocentisis and CVS aren't the same thing (one tests fluid the other tests the placenta tissue and they're performed at different times), but they both have a chance of miscarriage :) Blood test is definitely the safer route in that regard. Best of luck on your scan today!
 
Good luck for the scans today ladies!!!!!

I'm having the worst time getting down my prenatal.... ugh it's awful!!!!!! I can take my other meds just fine but for some reason the prenatal is so hard to get down I keep gagging and sometimes vomit!!!
 
Pink I would switch to the gummies. I had to with my first and took a slow release iron since that was making me sick in the prenatal.

Ugh I hate when I'm dying of a full bladder before even finishing the required water before a scan! Hope I don't burst!
 
Ttduck, I can't take the gummies, I have to take this prenatal because I have to have folate instead of folic acid! :/ thanks though!
 
Everything is okay!!!

I saw a different midwife this time, because of scheduling, and I loved her!!!
The appointment wasn't as long as I expected. We talked a little while, and she gave me some reading material. She tried hearing the heartbeat with a doppler, but couldn't find it. Of course, that made me nervous! I got my blood drawn, and then had to go to a different location for the ultrasound.
They did a trans-vaginal scan, so I saw baby on the screen right away- with a heartbeat!
I'm 8 weeks & 2 days, so my new due date is May 11th. Also, baby's heart rate was 172 bpm.

The scan photo says 8 weeks & 3 days, because they got two different measurements. When my midwife messaged me, she mentioned the earlier one, so I guess we are going with 8 + 2!

Great news ja!!!!! Beautiful bean you got there and going off hb prediction I'd say you have a little girl in there!!!! :)
 
Updating from my phone everything looked good but I seem to have formed a SCH!! It's about 10mm and looks like it will most likely be dark blood but any spotting is gonna freak me out I just know it!!

Also I am now considered High Risk I may have to go back later today to see the dr cuz he was in surgery or I may go Monday!!

Baby measured 8+3 HB 163 BPM!!
 
My scan went well. Was dying from a full bladder but it was still too hard to see anything and had to do a trans vaginal. Heartbeat measured 104 and measured at 6w2d. My doc mentioned that he could order the new chromosome test at my next appointment. Haven't decided yet on that one.

Congrats Ja, Sis, and TTDuck on your great scans! Sounds like all three of you are progressing nicely :happydance:

Glad we have a string of good news in here after all the heart ache yesterday :cry:

Congratulation Sis4us, Ja14, and TTDuck! So happy for all of you!
 
Hi ladies I'm so sorry I was away for a few days. I haven't been feeling very well and my dear husband put in over 80 hours this week. Needless to say I have been very busy caring for our family and attempting to keep up with our home.

I am so very heartbroken to return to such awful news. My deepest condolences go to mrsmax, LouOscar01, and luvymom. I hope that each of you have a very loving support system around you that can help you during this very difficult time.

I know we are all in a very fragile place and seeing other's loss can be very difficult, if not too much at times, especially in our little group. I think we feel it a lot more. I just want to say that I am so very appreciative of you ladies for continuing to lift each other up and trying to calm one another's fears. <3

misscherry I'm sorry that you are feeling like crap. 1st tri is so weird in that you don't want to feel awful, but at the same time you are so very grateful for it. Hopefully it doesn't get too awful for you and the symptoms start to lessen over the next several weeks.

TTDuck that wait to eat in the morning has been rough for me as well. I have found myself cheating a few times and sucking on a hard candy just to try and help get me by.

hereishoping I hope that the next week or so flies by for you. I can only imagine the worry. :hugs:

ja what a cute little scan pic. I'm so happy to see that all was well.

Sis4Us pleased to see your LO is doing ok. I think there is a SCH support thread on here. There were several ladies in my last group that suffered from bleeding for months with a SCH and went out to have healthy little babies.

TTDuck yay for hearing/seeing LO's heartbeat :)

We will not be having any additional testing for any sort of abnormalities. For us it wouldn't change the way we go about things so no sense in paying for it and potentially putting our baby at risk.

Esperanza did you have another appointment today? How did it go?

There are some ladies who are behind the scenes-I do hope you'll pop in from time to time and let us know how you are getting on.
