unicorn, i'm so sorry to hear that.



i promised myself i wouldn't take any of the conception indicator digis, but i couldn't help it - took one today and got my "pregnant 2-3"

when is everyone's first appointment/scan? i have a scan at 6 weeks on august 14th, so only 2 weeks away!

Jtink- I'm so jelous you only have 2 more weeks to wait!!! Mine is august 21 and I'll be 8 weeks. I'm on vacation the week before so couldn't do it then. I want to fast forward so I can see my little peanut!

Hooray for 2-3 Jtink! My doc doesn't do them until 7 weeks and is booked or in surgery that whole week, so I'll have mine at 8 weeks on 8/25. So exciting you only have 2 weeks to wait!

Hello!

I'm expecting my #3 and my EDD is 6th April. My 2 boys are 2 and almost 4 (in my signature haha). Of course I'm hoping for a baby girl but I ain't holding my breath!

Have my first scan in 2 weeks' time and I can't wait to see that everything's fine. I had an MC at 5 weeks in March, so I'm pretty cautious about this pregnancy, although the good thing is that I had a good HCG number last week.

How's everybody? Maybe a short intro?

Looking forward to getting to know you ladies in the course of the next 9 months!

welcome cheerios!

a little about me: my husband and I have known each other since we were 12, but lost touch and reconnected nearly 7 years ago. we've been married for nearly 4 years. our son is 2, and he's the funniest little boy. i was diagnosed with Crohn's disease 5 years ago, a week before my 30th birthday. because of that, i see a high-risk OB and i had a c-section with my son, and i'll likely have another c-section with this baby. i had a blighted ovum miscarriage at 9 week in january, so i won't feel really safe until i see that flickering heartbeat!!

My first appointment is on the 21 also!

 

[samae23]

We're US buddies mac! I can't wait. If everything looks good and can even see a heartbeat, I think I will be able to relax a little bit!

And welcome cheerios!!! This will be my first child. I had a MC in Jan this year. My husband and I are so excited!

Welcome cheerios!

My scan is scheduled on the 26th when I'll be 8+2, but my dr said if I'm really struggling with the wait, I can come in for a 6 week as well. So depending on how I'm feeling, I might take him up on it! Ideally I'd like to go at 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 13 weeks . I want all the reassurance I can get.

That's awesome that your doctor is so understanding and saying you can come in early if you want to! Yea mine they said I need to be at least 6 weeks. But I guess one of the good things about going in at 8 is that I should be able to see more and see a heartbeat! Its going to be Sooo hard to wait though! I understand wanting all the reassurance!

Cheerios~Welcome to the group!! A few of us have already posted about ourselves in the be first couple pages...it will be great to continue to get to know each other through this journey!!

 

[cheerios]

Wow! This is a very fast-moving thread! Finally caught up on the posts though it might take me a while to remember who's who here. Hah.

Jtink28 - totally know what u mean about heartbeat. Same for me. First tri is usually a bunch of nerves for me too.

My first was conceived on clomid so I had all these early betas and blood draws. Second one was a planned-success-first-try bfp so I didn't have any betas or scans until 8 weeks. This one is a natural-bfp while on my first monitored cycle at my fertility specialist (same doc as for #1). So I have early betas too. I wanted more monitoring since the last MC in March.

Thanks samae!

Oh the beauty of first pregnancy. Please do enjoy every step of the journey! It's the only pregnancy you really get to enjoy without being distracted by an older kid(s) who wants your attention all the time. Haha

Your doc is amazing! Is he a regular gynae or a fertility specialist? Most regular gynae do not do scans as early as the FS do here.

Also I'm with you about getting as much assurance as you can go. Though I must say that when I didn't see the heartbeat at 6weeks with my first son, I freaked out. It appeared 4 days later though.

 

[coolbabe843]

I am pretty much symptom free except some days I have some stretching pains I guess is what it feels like....As for gender I dont care either way as I have a boy and a girl already but would LOVE another boy!

Surprisingly not a fertility specialist! They are a high risk ob though. I think since I've had 2 back to back mc's this year combined with the fact that they are used to doing lots of extra monitoring seeing high risk patients makes them a little bit more understanding. If I remember correctly, I think I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks, 13 weeks, 20 weeks and then every week from 28 weeks on because I had high fluid. So they got me used to seeing LOTS of pics of my little peanut!!

Hello ladies can i join u just found out I'm expecting again this is out 5th the youngest is only 10 months old , due on the 1st April from my lmp still shocked as didn't really want anymore kids ,4 is hard work lol but we are happy tho I'm nervous about the age gap ...
No sickness yet but I sure it will come

 

[jtink28]

welcome little miss!!

 

[salamander91]

Welcome little miss!

I got my letter through today for my first appointment which will be august 13th. I'm hoping they'll do a scan! I'm not sure on gender yet. I'd like a girl but would be happy with a little brother for my son

 

[mac1979]

As far a gender goes there are pros to with boy or girl for us. A boy is cool because we already have a boy and we wouldn't need to buy anything new as I saved all his clothes. A girl would be nice because this will be our last baby and I would like one of each, and we need more estrogen... even our dog is a boy. I'll just be happy if this one stays out of the NICU this time.

 

[hiphophooray]

Hi ladies can I join? EDD is April 4th I have one little boy who will be 3 in September. I had my betas done and they were 37 on Thursday(July 23) then 415 on Monday(July 27)! I go to my first OB appt on Tuesday, I am unsure of when I will get my first scan, I believe it is around 8-9 weeks at my OB's office. I really want a girl and OH wants another boy, but of course we will be happy with either so happy to finally be out of TTC threads and into pregnancy group
