April Diamonds!! [2016 Rainbows]

[Lala77]

I hate when I get nasty/grumpy medical staff, Lala!

I was really sick at the beginning of this week but now it seems like my symptoms are dropping off and that combined with my test is seriously freaking me out big time.

That would make me nervous too! My fingers are crossed!

 

[Lala77]

Suddenly panicked I'm going to lose this baby too. Having a 3rd beta today for reassurance. So worried.

Lala- I'm so sorry. I know how stressful that is!!!

Sophie - how are your symptoms? I'm just having the uterine symptoms. :0(

 

[Sophie2015]

Lala- My bbs are really sore so that's a plus but I've had this weird pinching pain on the left. Wayyyy to the left. I'm a nurse and worked last night and none of us has a clue. My egg came from the right side this month. I think I'm just worried because 5 weeks is about where it has gone all wrong in the past.
Did you ever get your results? I've missed a lot working 12 hr night shifts and sleeping!

 

[Lala77]

So I just got my HCG and its 179! They said that was good! I have a U/S and more testing Monday 08/17... I have to relax and think happy thoughts and stay hydrated. Sophie and navy please keep me posted with tests and etc...

 

[NavyLadybug]

Wonderful result, Lala!!


Just got a call from my Specialist, she's putting me on progesterone and she said my numbers actually look great on the rising scale and that normally nothing can be seen on a scan with a level under 2000 (mine on the days of my scan was only 950) so she's actually very confident that they should see something next week and with my pattern my level should be 15000 on the day of my scan which is high enough to usually see a heartbeat!!

I also found out a 2 week supply (14 tubes) of my Crinone costs 800$ in my area without insurance and I have a 6 weeks supply.... I have $2400 in that picture and my insurance (Military insurance) covered it all... I'm in a bit of shock over that.

 

[Sophie2015]

Lala- wonderful news!!!

Navy- sooo happy your dr put you on progesterone and was encouraging!!

My beta was 4611. Last Friday it was 328. So it's rising right on schedule. 5 weeks today. Whew! Hoping we can all relax and enjoy our pregnancies... at least for a few days. 😊👶🏻

 

[NavyLadybug]

Great beta, Sophie!!!

 

[NavyLadybug]

I know it's early but, as anyone started thinking on names?

I LOVE names so they're always on my mind and we've actually got LO's name already picked out (have for quite some time) and for a boy is Alistair Carlisle and a girl is Sophie Remilia.

 

[Lala77]

Those are beautiful names! Will you have a nickname for allistair? I have to tell you ... I feel like I will be thinking names after 13 weeks maybe even 20 this time.

So I pretty much found out why I have not been sleeping at night!!! They put me on synthroid! I didnt realize that is such a common side effect. Hopefully it's worth it.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Probably not going to have a nickname, we aren't a "nickname" type of family. I'm sure my family will have one for LO but my husband and I just aren't big on nicknames personally.

I totally understand that, Lala. It's a hard time for us when its this early. And oh no, hopefully you can get some sleep soon!!

 

[Hopeful Cat]

Hi ladies im tentatively due in April and im over the moon! Got my first beta back at 206.5 yesterday so nothing like my last one wooohoooo!!!

Lala im not sleeping properly either...keep waking up at supid-o'clock wide awake.

Ive been thinking of names for the past 3+ years lol including nicknames haha

 

[youngmamttc]

Hi ladies I'd love to join you. I'm pregnant after 2 consecutive losses and terrified but I'm sure this is my rainbow

I'm due April 5th.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Hello Hopeful Cat! What's your EDD? what team are you rooting for?

Hi, YoungMam!! Happy to have you!! What team are you pulling for?

 

[Sophie2015]

Well my 3 great betas have done nothing to reassure me. Suddenly panicked today that I'm going to mc again. Even had a vivid dream that I was bleeding. Ugh. Praying like crazy my 1st ultrasound shows us a heartbeat.

Thank you girls for listening!

Welcome new mamas!!

 

[NavyLadybug]

I know that feeling, Sophie. Ever since I got my I've had several dreams that I'm having a miscarriage and I wake up freaked out

 

[hiphophooray]

Hello ladies can I join? I recognize some of you from the other April thread my EDD is 4/4/16 and I am hoping for a pink bump this time! We have had a few CP's and one very very early mc since DS was born but never gotten this far so I am hopeful! H&H 9 months everyone!

 

[Sophie2015]

NavyLady- it's such a miserable feeling.

Welcome hiphop!

 

[youngmamttc]

We're team yellow. We already have one of each so just a healthy baby will do . I hate the days when I wake up with no symptoms. I'm such a worrier and my first scan isn't for another 2 and a bit weeks

 

[Hopeful Cat]

Im due tentatively about 14th April and going for a healthy baby this is our first and ive been waiting so long that i will be happy with either. Going to call my specialist to.orriw and book on my 6 week scan. Im excited but nervous!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Welcome Hiphop!!

I don't know how you can keep it a surprise til birth, youngmam, I'd be dying to know the gender haha

Hopeful Cat, if you don't mind me asking, in your signature, does the 3x mean you had frozen embryos implanted?

AFM: I always have cramps when I wake up, usually they're pretty mild but today they are so bad and it's seriously freaking me out. I'm hoping I'm just gassy or something or that the pizza I ate last night isn't agreeing with me. I'm not having as much nausea this morning either
