Hi girlies! Lovely pregnancy symptoms going on there!
M2J - You are a very brave girl - you can have a gold star for that! Poshie??? Are you going to be following M2J's lead?
Schmoo

I'm glad you are all doing well!

 

[shmoo75]

M2J - so glad you have made it to past 8wks hun and, even happier that you have been a big brave girl and rang the Dr's and, ready to have that scan.
Poshie - Wish I was like you and could walk away from those tests but, I can't
Beachlover - How did the tests go? Hope they have doubled for you hun.

I tested again this morning and, I am very happy to report the tests lines are getting darker I'm really not impressed with the IC 25ImU's this time round as, they are the only ones dragging their heels in getting darker. I don't have anymore of those so, I can't use them and, I wont buy anymore either. I plan to test again on Wed with a CB digi and I want to at least see a 2-3 and, I will use my very last test on the Thurs after(which will be the day after when I have lost my other pregnancies)which, I hope to see a 3+. i have never, ever so far see the elusive 3+ on a CB digi. Once I have tested on Thur 10/12 I promise I wont test again this pregnancy as, by then I should know one way or the other if this one is for keeps or not. Well off for a then and shopping and housework. Don't worry I wont over exert myself as, I will have a rest inbetween doing each task. Hope you are all having a really good weekend and will see you soon.

Girls, after expecting my results back yesterday they finally came in this morning....the doubling time is 48.2 hours!!!! WAYYYYYYYY!!! they have increased from 1969 to 3859 (a couple short of doubling) but they were taken a hour or 2 differnce in time each day and once they get over 1200 the doubling time drops to more like 72 hours....so looking good so far!!!!!!

Time to dall the docs and get booked in for an 8 week meet n greet I think ;-)

Still thinking positive at this point...my mat bikini arrived ;-) and ill book a scan for 2 weeks time, ill be about 7 weeks. I only made it that far with my missed MC so thats my next mountain to scramble up.

Hows everyone else doing today? all good? anything to report? x

Schmoo some people never see a 3+ for some reason, its still normal. I also get hung up on the CB digi....but there is a reason the nurses HATE them!!! they are misleading and can scare us...but i knowwe feel reassured! Heres to the 3+ hey!!!!!!

 

[beachlover1]

oh yeah, i dont have morning sickness (I would like a little go at it for once) I know I know be careful what you wish for!!! BUT I do have this permanent mild car sick feeling...then it turns into intense hunger! SO i eat....then the car sick comes back. Anyone else? x Oh yeah, cleaning my teeth makes me heave ;-)

 

[shmoo75]

Beachlover - for your bloods nearly doubling hun. Know what you mean about the tests once I have tested next Wed and then the following Thurs I promise I wont test anymore as, I would of run out of tests and, I wont buy anymore.

There are a couple of things I am doing differently to the last 2 times:

1. In my bag I carry a big pair of knickers and an Ultra san pad
2. Taking Fybgel as, suffered from constipation very early on and don't want any of that straining too much as can't be good for you.

Hoping this makes a difference and I get to see my Moomins HB in a couple of wks time and, I don't start bleeding on or around 09/12.

Hello BL and Schmoo

Nice one on the lines getting darker Schmoo, it is comforting to see and I've done it myself as you know

Excellent news on the bloods BL That must be such a relief. Of course, I haven't a clue what mine are doing.....makes me wonder.

I too get to a point where I need to eat.....I eat and then I feel ill. I don't have ms though. Never had it.

We should be having our early scan at the same time, more or less BL. Doc for me on Monday and I'll ask for scan to be around 7 weeks so w/c 14 Dec I think.

I must get back to painting now. It's hard work you know! I shall be checking in again later, have a good weekend all

 

[shmoo75]

Don't over do it on the painting front hun. I am currently having a little rest, drinking big glass of water then, I will get back to finishing my housework. I am off out tonight with a friend to see New Moon as, OH has absolutley no interest in watching it whatsoever! The friend I am going with has no idea that I am pg and, as the film is about 2hrs long will have to stop drinking at about 5pm so, I wont need to get up in the middle of the film and run to the loo

Hello all

well I've had a fairly busy weekend. Decorated the spare room and bathroom, we bought a new little tv for the kitchen and I've been out with the dog. Knackered now so chilling out whilst dh does tea (fajitas). Blimmin starving I am!

I'm afraid I relented and tested with 2mu and I'm pleased to say it said pregnant 3+


So I'm ringing the doctor first thing tomorrow girls and appt hopefully same day. Time to get the wheels in motion eh

I've been feeling pretty ok actually. Very sore @@ when I took bra off last night. Been keeping busy so gets my mind off it for a while.

How's everyone else doing? Anything to report today?

 

[samzi]

ahh the hurting BB's, i remember the days!!

first few weeks, i had to sleep with some sort of bra on as mine KILLED!

 

[beachlover1]

(.)(.) are ok, hurt to run up and down stairs now (not normal for my tiny 34bs) Other than that ok, a few pokes and pulls in the womb area with a little back ache sporadically but otherwise ok...oh and still a bit heave ish every so often!!

Docs tomorrow to tell the nurse, same old procedure, will make me a MW appt for week 8and tell me to "see how it goes"!! Ill be asking for a NHS early scan, but if no ill get a private one at 7 weeks +3.....14th December!!

Hows everyone else? xx

 

[OmiOmen]

I have only just seen this thread and I am going for third time lucky too! I had a MMC and had a D&C for that (wish I did not go for the D&C to be honest but the hospital made it sound like it had to be done) in September 2007. Then a rather confusing miscarriage in April 2008. I was dreading my first scan this time because that is when I found out about the MMC the first time but all was well. I still feel worried from time to time but much better since the 12 week scan and I keep second guessing thing that I should not, like last night feeling really obvious kicks. So I am excited but a little nervous about my 20 week scan on the 23rd of December.

 

[cazd]

Omen - I'm a total imposter and representing the 0 times lucky club but welcome to the group anyway !
But... what's a D&C? I've heard about it before but is it something you could have avoided?

 

[NickyT75]

Hi Omi

Caz - a D&C is a dilation & curettage (same as an ERPC - Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception)

I had to have one after giving birth to Sophie as her placenta was firmly attached & would not come away on its own... they cant usually be helped TBH and although they arent very nice I personally feel they are the best decision to deal with MMC's as they allow closure when the only other option is waiting god knows how long & hoping for things to 'complete' naturally iyswim?
meaning you put yourself through extra pain & heartache 'waiting' then if things dont happen naturally after a certain length of time there is a serious risk of infection so you might end up having to have one anyway big Omi xx

 

[OmiOmen]

A D&C is a minor operation to get rid of the contents of your uterus. I was told because I had a MMC I should have one and if I did not I would likely need one anyway (I have since found out that is not necessarily true). Basically I regret getting it done because with a MMC you still feel pregnant and it sort of seems like everything is fine but the scans come back that nothing is happening so a D&C sort of felt like something was stolen from me. I know that nothing could have been done about the miscarriage but it left me feeling cheated out of something and I wish I had waited for it to happen naturally no matter how long it would have taken. Plus, surgery no matter how minor is not very nice (general anaesthetic...yuck!) and if I was told it was not needed I would not of had it done.

 

[cazd]

oh that sounds awful! they just go by the book don't they. what a shame you didn't know more about it beforehand....

 

[NickyT75]

Congrats on the digi 3+ Poshie! xx
