April Diamonds!! [2016 Rainbows]

[Marumi]

If you go back to earlier pages, my bean measured a week behind as well at only 5+1 instead 6+1 and 2 weeks later baby had mostly caught up (this is how we figured out I O'd later than I thought at 13 days after my MMC instead 10/11) There's was no HB at my first scan either, before 6w it can be hard to find one! Good luck on your next scan some beans are just slow starters!


Also, Taber, weight really doesn't affect abdominal u/s unless you weigh over 350 generally. And even at that weight, it generally doesn't affect an internal With DS my weight never interfered with any of my ultrasounds

That is great! I really hope mine will catch up too! If it was "late" in one way or another it makes sense it takes time to develop.
I did not even have CM mucous but right after conception I got the lumpy pregnancy discharge and I was like "wait...I thought I need to ovulate first?"
With how long conception and implantation can take and how much it can vary it makes sense that some dates are far off.
How could I know if I ovulated late? I temped and charted like I said. Usually I ovulate just before the full moon. I got my first positive hpt on the 8th, 10-11 days after what I had marked as conception.

Ugh ladies, eating is so hard lately. I've lost 5lbs since my bfp and none of my pants fit :'( I'm definitely starting to show with this one already, baby is the size of a kumquat but my uterus is the size of a large grapefruit lol. I haven't been able to find a hb on my home doppler yet, but I'm still hopeful. I'm going to wait a few more days and try again.

Marumi, if the line was faint, I would count back 7-8 days. Unless you used OPKs its very hard to know exactly when you ovulated even when you chart and temp, especially after a MC, and even then you can ovulate as late as 72 hours (3 days) after your first + OPK. Also, with lumpy discharge, that can happen as soon as ovulation is over in many women, it does for me.


How did she react, Kozmik?!


I know that feeling, Zmzerbe, I lost sooo much weight already but everything fits weirdly haha

 

[KozmikKitten]

Navy - honestly, I started crying when I told her. I feel like its not "fun" anymore since I've lost two in a row now. Its like, the excitement got taken from the announcement. I just told her I was pregnant and scared. She said she would pray for me. That was really the end of it. I wasn't looking for anything else though. I'm still so worried I'm going to lose this one too, that I don't think I could handle a lot of excitement.

 

[NavyLadybug]

I'm sorry, sweetie. but your closing in on 8 weeks and then on 12 weeks and after that your chances are amazing. We're all here with you sweetie

 

[KozmikKitten]

Thanks Navy - and that reminded me to change my ticker to my new due date. Its only one day ahead but I'll take it!

 

[zmzerbe]

Navy - It's mostly an issue in my work pants. I am currently doing the hair tie trick and now the hair tie is officially about to be retired.

 

[NavyLadybug]

One day is always good, Kozmik!

Oh no, time for maternity pants, Zmzerbe!

I never have visible discharge due to surgery on my cervix so that was the first thing that struck me as odd
I guess my date must be about right then at least I have no good evidence supporting a later date as we did not have unprotected intercourse on all days. We were waiting for two weeks after the blood flow thinking I might ovulate after two weeks. At least I read somewhere that MC bleeding can act as a period. But it seems I ovulated around the usual time of the month like I did before pregnancy.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Sperm can live for up to five days after intercourse, so its safe to say you ovulated within the 5 days afterwards. I O very later in my cycle, but even with my O being later than I thought it was, it was still very early compared to what I normally O at.


I see in your siggy that you had a MC at 4 weeks, this is TECHNICALLY a type of MC called a chemical pregnancy (a pregnancy that doesn't make past the 4-5th week) and so your cycle is still pretty much on track as it would have been had you not gotten pregnant at all. I had two back to back and it was, to my body, as if I were never pregnant because I bled the usual length of time, O'd roughly around the same time and everything. However with my MMC at 8w everything happened way earlier in the cycle afterwards which was very confusing in the early weeks.

Anyone around? Started cramping and spotting about an hour ago. This is a first for me. I'm 9+4 today. Ultrasound at 10am. It's 3:20am where I am and DH is sleeping. So scared and lonely.

I hope it is nothing. It can be so hard to say with these things. Keep us updated.

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining. Must be that my cycle was still on track. Ovulating within 5 days after intervourse would fit time frame wise too. We tested waters when I was spotting and I felt the semen causes my cervix to hurt. We used condoms and it wasn't a problem. Throughout the whole pregnancy my cervix has been hurting from semen...really mysterious. So we used protection.

 

[NavyLadybug]

I hope everything is ok, sweetheart!! Keep up posted! We're here for you, Sophie!!

 

[KozmikKitten]

Sophie - I hope everything is ok! I wouldn't let my hubby sleep if it was me. Update us after the scan! Hoping for good news.
