Hi Melissa, welcome to the group.

Sarah and ljkp glad to hear appointments went well.

Jules- how's things?

Charmed- your scan is nearly here. I am really looming forward to seeing your lo. You are pregnant and lo will be there!! I felt exactly the same with ds.

Scan went really well- apart from me being seconds away for me wetting myself!!
Baby measured 41.3 mm and heart was beating away. No signs of what caused the spotting. Felt a bit of a fraud really!! But never had any spotting with my little boy so this really scared me. No picture I'm afraid as not in same area as 12 week and 20 week scan where you buy a token and the technician didn't offer me one! Sob!

But baby was wonderful and feel like I am on top of the world as I am 11 weeks tomorrow and all is good. Finally thinking my lo might make it as we leave the danger zone! Looking back I think I had been expecting something to go wrong as we were so lucky with ds (had such an easy conception and pregnancy) whereas this time we had a difficult time conceiving and have felt lousy all the easy through!

Ah Clairey, so pleased to hear its all ok. From what I have read these little beans can stick through some pretty full on bleeding and cramping. Really incredible. Must be a huge comfort to hear that all is ok.

I'm doing great and things ticking along. Still been really lucky with the MS and what I do have over the last week/at present isn't worth mentioning. Been weaning myself off the progesterone suppositories and estrogen patches across this week so will be rid of the lot on Thursday when I'm at 11weeks. Goodbye IVF! Off for the NT this Tuesday and despite the primary purpose being diagnostic I'm just really excited to see the prune/lime then. Hearing about Sarah's arm/leg/foot extravaganza is making me excited to see it looking a bit more baby-like and less "blobby"!

They just said the aching is clearly nothing to worry about as baby is ok, but gave me no reason. My tummy and top of my legs are aching still now, but back seems better.

Think I may be 11 weeks today or yesterday, rather than tomorrow as I thought, from looking at average lengths on web but nobody mentioned it today. Guess they will do that at my proper scan a week on friday. Baby was defiantly less blob like and the heart looked tiny compared to its overall size this time. Last time it was about 3/4 of the blob!! This time saw legs and clear head body distinction but was difficult to see from the angle on the bed!!

Glad the ivf drugs are reaching the end. I struggle with the enormous vitamin tablets I have bought do you are one committed woman jules!!

 

[charmed]

So glad all is ok so ur scan is nx week fri! Mines not this monday but nx so 11days eek. Just prey its ok! 11wk morro seems quiet far xx

The aching/cramping does seem very common with ligaments and muscles stretching in that area. I had bad back ache too all the time a few weeks back but now it's generally fine till I get in from work and then it's pretty bad again (but that's not helped by 10 hour days sat at a desk! Never bothered me before but it certainly does now). Haven't had any leg aching though but then each pregnancy is wildly different I guess!

Think the NT scan must be a higher resolution as they need to get a close up of fluid the the neck etc. Hopefully that higher resolution will give us a clearer picture of other bits of the little one too at that time.

Yep, and my IVF commitment will be pointed out to said child when he/she is older and being naughty. Lol!

Clairey: Argh! I'm so relieved for you!!!! Did baby finally look like a baby then?! I think you can safely feel ok about not getting a picture, It's definitely a good compromise just to know that your little baby is still snug and safe in there!!!!! When is your NT scan?

Jules: Wow! An IVF baby! Were you the one that put a piccie up of the embryo, or am I confusing you with someone else? That's definitely some cool ammunition to use for your little one when he/she gets older and is playing up!

Charmed: Yay for a little bump!!!! I think mine is just more bloat than bump, but I've attached my 9 week bump piccie anyway! I wouldn't worry hun, there is DEFINITELY a little baby inside of you, just waiting to see you on your u/s! Besides, by this time, the chances of anything bad are down to 5% (Even less if you've heard/seen a heartbeat), so that means our pregnancies are more than 95% likely to result in a little healthy baby in our arms!!! From what I've seen/read, things are most likely to go wrong before about 8 weeks...by now, everything is basically formed and just needs to grow, and most chromosomal abnormalities would have occurred by now too! Hope all those facts cheer you up and make you more excited to see your little wiggly bubba soon!

Sarah:Hey lady! How is pregnancy treating you?!

AFM: I'd be either 10w+5 (Going by last period) or 10w exactly today (Going by ovulation)...either way, I'm a prune and in double figures!!! I can see the end of trimester 1 in sight now!! EEk!
Week 9 was a lovely straight-forward week for me and everything seemed to become much more mild...I really thought that the bad symptoms had gone for me, then BAM!, 10 weeks exactly and I'm only up for 30 seconds, manage to say morning to my DH before I'm bent over the toilet throwing up last night's cake! I've managed to catch my DH's cold too (Boo!), so I'm feeling slightly worse for wear today...had some stretching pains last night, wow baby/uterus was having a bit of a growth spurt!!
On the upside, I've still been blessed with hearing baby everyday, which is the lovely most reassurring sound I've ever heard...I'll attach a video link I made for our baby memories in case anyone wants to watch it!

 

[lpjkp]

This is my 9 week bloat bump!

Just uploading my video to youtube, which should be found on:
https://youtu.be/7uoZafng1-8

 

[charmed]

Aw jel, ur bigger than me!! But can se e when got a tight top on! Lol. Thanks for the support hun, means a lot. Yeah I haven't seen or heard heart beat but only worry was if had a mcc and not heard anything diff, but burping and wind and sore veiny boobs and bumps all still there, so guess good sign?! And before I started bleed within few days of something happenin so guess if 11wks morro I'd know by now ?? Jus can't wait! Roll on monday week! Xx

 

[lpjkp]

Haha! I'm only bigger because it's bloat! If someone put a pin to me, I'd probably pop! I'm looking forward to a real bump filling the space though!

I think you'd definitely know by now...I can't find any statistics on mmc, but I guess it's rare...your body's natural reaction to something not going right is to get rid and, in most cases, the body would naturally miscarry. It's only that tiny tiny percentage (Which seems more common because people who suffer from a mmc tend to turn to the internet for answers) that don't, and end up with a mmc...I think having signs is fantastic, and definitely reassuring! The way I've thought about it is, if you can get to 10 weeks, you're doing pretty good and the odds are definitely in your favour!!x

Yep that was my little 5 day old blastocyst that I posted the pic of!

Loving the bump pic! Is that a little pair of maternity jeans that I spy there....? I have just bought some last weekend as my skinnies ain't cutting anything other than the blood supply to my legs. SOOOOOO much more comfortable to have those! Can't see the vid now as at work but will have a peek tonight.

Miscarriage rates attached but these are all estimates. One site states that a large proportion occur before the start of week 8. My fertility specialist also said that as each week goes on your risk profile decreases.

https://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/miscarriage.html

Charmed, if you haven't had severe bleeding or clot-like material that you're passing, then it's unlikely that you have passed the baby out. Not much longer to wait and then you will have peace of mind.

[charmed]

Hiya I've had no bleeding or cramps at all! Thanks I feel better knowin such a tiny risk! I'm lookin forward to clothes shoppin none of my trousers fit but don't wanna jinks and buy materinty one until scans x

Haha yes I was quite shocked actually! Mind you, I think if I had been scanned abdominally it would not have been so clear...but at 11wks youre going to be so amazed at what was once just a little eggy is now a fully fledged little person wiggling around! Hope you get a pic..cant wait to see!

Happy Prune day!!!! WOOHOO!!

Im with you...I feel like I am becoming human again one day and then im back to toilet diving the next. Im so happy to be pregnant and I love the reassurance of the sickness but...I dont mean this to sound ungrateful but I am SO over this MS stuff now! Ive been so...well, ill, for 5 weeks now. I need a good day! xx

Hopefully I'll get another little video link like last time (although different scan place this time so maybe not)! x

Random one but though this was pretty cool to show how all our organs are getting squashed and are moving despite our little ones still only being the size of small fruit and vegetables.
