A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[Bibliophile]

Yay limes!

Can't wait to hear how well your appointment goes, Beach.

Thanks, Mommy.

Honey - yes I hope to be able to relay my birth story to you all. Hoping its not too horrific.

Beach - stalking for an update.

AFM - So... have been to the midwife this morning and had a sweep. She could just about reach my cervix and was able to get a fingertip in but its still posterior and long so doesn't look like he's coming anytime soon. She did say my waters are bulging though so there's a chance they might go. Urine clear and BP 120/80 so she's happy. She managed to tickle his head which I found strange but lovely and said that he squirmed so he liked it

She listened to HR and it was between 128-152 with lots of accelerations so she said he's happy and active.

I have a term+10 appointment on 6th Sept for a scan to check placental function and have another sweep. If all is ok, I'll be booked in for induction on 10th Sept.

Obviously I'm hoping I won't need either appointment.

Need to get bouncing on my ball

Ok so let me try to catch up

MrsPaco--So sorry to find yourself here. I am with the other ladies in saying that they should have tested you after the 2nd tri loss and especially since you had another mc after that one and you have been trying a yr. Glad they started testing on you. I started with a dr that did not have any sense of urgency about me after I had my 4th MC which was a twin/triplet mmc. I had to beg him to send me to RE. The ladies are right you do have to be your own advocate. I am convinced that if I did not switch to the dr that I had wanted in the first place then Mason would not be here now b/c I was found to have a genetic abnormality of a partial septate in my uterus and the babies were implanting on it and it could not sustain a pregnancy past a certain week so i would always loose them around the same time. I had it resected in Dec 2011 after RE found it and was under RE care till 10 wks into this pregnancy. With any genetic uterian abnormailty your higher risk for incompitent cervix but most of the time drs brush it off and won't even check you unless you beg or they see something on an US or when they check internal or they might catch it to late. But my dr told me about IC (even though I already knew) and said they will check me starting at 16 wks. Luckly they did b/c my meaurements were good till I got to 20 wks then it started getting shorter but normal range however at 22 wks it got shorter and at 23 wk 5 days I was right at the beginning of having a too short cervix so he admitted me to the hospital the next morining and I had a stitch put in. I know the other dr would not have done it.

Mommylove-Looks like O was Tues GL this month FX you caught a sticky eggy

Bibliophile-Not much longer before O FX your dh says around this time.

Honey, Cruise, lexi, beach, Neversaynever- CONGRATAS on all y'alls BFP!!!!! Sorry if I missed anyone

Nicki--Oh maybe laid back is what you need for your sticky baby. FX

Kmp and NTAT--Wow not long now for both of y'all Sept babies are good too my Grandma was one her birthday was on Sept 8th. I hope y'alls experience was as easy as mine was I was blessed to have had it with no complications. Oh when they put me on pitocine they bairly had it turned up. I think it can go up to 20 something and it was only I think less than 10. GL

 

[BeachChica]

Hi girls, I made it through my appointment today and everything is looking great. Baby has a strong heartbeat and measuring slightly ahead a 10+2!!! We are so relieved!!!

I am going in Tuesday for some bloodwork which includes the Maternity 21 genetic screening. Its like a CSV but non-invasive and can collect the baby's DNA from your blood. It will tests for a lot of the genetic problems and also provides gender. The doctor told me that it takes about a week to 10 days to come back. Then my next scan (12 weeks) is in 2 weeks.

Our little bean was dancing around all over the place at the scan moving its little arms and legs, just melted our hearts!!! I have posted a pic below.

 

[honeyprayer]

Oh Beach. Yayyyyyyyy Congrats!!! You must be so relieved! It's so great to see little bean move, isn't it? I thought it was so amazing to see it move on the screen yet feel nothing in my belly!

So thrilled for you

 

[monro84]

Omg Beach!! Congrats so happy for you. I really believe this is your rainbow. Your post made me tear up I know all you went through so happy for you. Wow just think right before your 12 wks appt you will already know if its a boy or girl. I am guessing girl from some reason but I was wrong on mine too . Can't wait to hear the results.

 

[monro84]

NTAT yess girl get to bouncing, get some RLT, walk and dtd. Also roll your hips on the ball instead of bouncing all the time. I think the walking bouncing and sex did it for me and he was ready lol. My sil swears that the reason she started having contractions was because she did the just dance video game the night before lol.

 

[Bibliophile]

Awesome, Beach!

Thanks, Monro. He'll be home from tomorrow until Wednesday of next week, so we'll see.

 

[Nicki123]

Yay beach!!! So happy for you I think this is it for you

 

[wookie130]

Beach- I'm seeing rainbows for you! Congratulations!

 

[NewToAllThis]

So so thrilled for you Beach - great scan pic too!
I've heard of that maternity 21 test. Very clever that its non invasive. It's currently not available in the UK (not that I know of). Will be great when it is.
And you get to find out gender too - amazing

 

[Bibliophile]

Ugh. Just found out I have to get up an hour & a half earlier than I've been taking my temp- watching my nephew & his mom works really early in the morning. Is it even worth taking so much earlier?

 

[Nicki123]

Sorry Biblio I don't do temping. Getting up earlier sucks though.

I got ewcm and a really positive opk yesterday. A whole 7 days after my nearly positive opk of last week. Another wonky cycle! But we'll and see what happens ... Fx!

 

[NewToAllThis]

Sorry Biblio, no advice as never temped as I could never see it working for me as I'm a rubbish sleeper.

Nicki - Sounds like your body is taking a bit of time to settle back to normal after all it's trauma. Its good though that you're getting +opks and AF. After my ERPC's, it took months to get even an AF. (3mths first time, 6mths second).
Just trying to put a positive slant on it all. Now get some more in while you can

 

[Neversaynever]

Beach...is this the furthest you've got with positive news!? I really think this is your rainbow atlast

Nicki...get them rudies in

Monro...loved the birth story and congrats, Mason is beautiful

NTAT...come on girl get that boy out..labour

Biblio...no idea on temping...have you considered a CBFM? (clear blue fertility monitor)

KMP...so close

Soop....you ok?

LF...you still lurking?

Honey...hello to you and your rainbow

Cruise...think we are due the same time?

I know I've forgotten people I'm so sorry to the new ladies I'm sorry that you find yourself here...I known its easy for me to day but hang in there...have hope and keep the faith. It will happen, it's just a case of when

Lots of success stories and many of us still come back to support the new ladies...down more than others

I think of you all often and as always send love and whatever's

XxX

 

[Nicki123]

Thanks Never.
New I love your positive slant. I was getting so frustrated with this cycle and you are right, i did just have a mc last month and a hysteroscopy not that long ago so I need to calm down - i need to be reminded of that every now and then so thank you!

 

[Bibliophile]

Thanks. I just skipped. Definitely not doing it next month, it's driving me nuts already.

 

[cruise]

Beach -- Soooo excited for you! I think good news is truly contagious!!

Nicki -- That has to be sooooo annoying. Hate wonky cycles!! Fx

NTAT -- Spicy foods, BDing, walking... looking forward to the big news soon

Biblio -- If it stresses you out, don't do it! FYI, I was not a good temp-taker. No alarms, just took it with FMU in the bathroom. All you really need is to detect that one big jump and it seemed to do fine for that for me. GL!!

monro & kmp -- congrats!!!

honey -- the lime milestone is a BIG one! congrats on limeyness and your graduation from the RE!!

Never -- omg, so we are almost the same due date. Very cool! Are you feeling movement yet? I've been feeling tiny movements down there since yesterday, no gas to explain it away...

 

[mommylov]

Hi ladies! Happy friday!!!!

Nicki, I think its a good idea to just incase too. Our cycles are really off this month, arent they? Ive read so many stories though about people that had the same happen to them and that was the cycle they got pregnant... hope that happens to all of us that are still trying!!!

Brittany, I think one day shouldnt hurt anything hun. Also understand how temping can drive you batty! lol

:wave: to everyone and hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[Bibliophile]

It's messing with my sleep. Lol. I don't do well without sleep. I get cranky. And then I get migraines. So this is definitely a one month deal.

How exciting, Cruise!
