April Raindrops 2016

[cheese lover]

Wow, this board is moving fast! I'm 12 DPO now. I had more spotting today. I'm really starting to think I'm out this month. I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard. I think I'm just going to wait to see if AF shows up. It's going to be the longest 3 days in my life. I wonder if I could get my dr to order a blood test. I don't really have an OB right now, just a family dr but I bet she'd order it for me since she knows how important it is for me to know ASAP because of my thyroid. I'll give her office a call tomorrow and see if they'll do it for me. Thanks guys for the support!

cheese lover~I hope everything is okay! That sounds so stressful, thankfully your family doctor sounds like they will have your back and look out for you...keep us posted!

wantingbubba~I totally want to go shopping right now and buy everything lol but I know I should wait to get a lot of the stuff until I know the sex...and til I know this baby is sticking around and not going anywhere!

Navy~Omg that is a crazy day, must have been so stressful for you!! Did they say what they'll do about your progesterone?

cheese lover, I'm keeping everything crossed for you. If you explain about your tests and your concern about the spotting they may run some bloods for you. Worth an ask. Thinking of you

Please can I join? I am 5 weeks 6 days pregnant with baby no 1, my app estimated my due date as 1st April 2015 but I don't really know when I ovulated! We only fell pregnant after the first month of trying, so super excited but it's still sinking in!

Emmy, just wanted to say massive congratulations to you, I have read your journal from time to time and am so happy for you

Wow this board moves fast! Welcome to all the new girls

Navy, hope your sons OK and the scan shows something next week.

Cheeselover, FX for you xx

Wantingbubba, I took my friend shopping yesterday so we could brood over baby stuff lol I've already bought a couple of unisex clothes. I'm not superstitious about that sort of thing. Me and oh are going to be buying the bigger things soon that are gender neutral (pram, carseat etc..) so we can concentrate on the gender stuff when we know what it is.

I saw 4 Magpies yesterday which apparently means you're going to have a boy but I'm feeling girl for this one. Not sure if thats just because I really want a girl though!

I've just seen that you're in Cheshire, that's where my hubby is from. His parents live in Northwich

Also, the baby and toddler show is going to be in Manchester in October (9th - 11th) and apparently you can get really good deals there, sometimes even better than online so might be worth bearing in mind for some things.

No way! We actually moved to northern Ireland a few months ago originally from wilmslow, lived in Macclesfield and parents live in goostrey! We're actually getting married in Macclesfield in a few weeks! So excited

I looked at the baby show but I don't think we'll be in England in October unfortunately.

Hubby used to work in Macclesfield before we moved back to wales.

It might be worth googling to see if there's a baby show coming to Ireland

Awwww I don't blame you for being excited. Congratulations in advance

 

[salamander91]

Thanks Emmy there was one in March apparently but cant see any others yet

 

[Laubull]

I had my second blood draw this morning, I should know by this evening the results. I've had more brown spotting though so it's not looking good

I hope everyone else is ok.

[Sophie2015]

Laubull- brown means old so maybe leftover from implantation....
Prayers and baby dust!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Thankfully my son is fine, he barely even cried and that was only when we had to hold him down for the stitches.

For my P, they're going to recheck in a week since I'm so early, they think it still has time to come up, but I am getting a phone call today from my specialist on what she thinks about it.

 

[youngmamttc]

So I got my 3+ yesterday FMU and today SMU was 2-3. Do you think it's just because it wasn't FMU? Or should I worry lol?

 

[Laubull]

Youngmamttc - try not to worry. They say SMU isn't as strong so try to avoid testing with it, always use FMU. Hugs.

AFM Results are in..... 745, so they have doubled BUT because of the bleeding I am still at risk of it being ectopic, and of course miscarriage is still a possibility. I will have my bloods taken again Saturday morning and go from there. Need to research ectopic pregnancies again, I can't remember last time other than I never got above 600..... Thank you again ladies for your support and listening 　 x

 

[NavyLadybug]

Laubull, most ectopic pregnancies cause a lot of pain and usually bright red blood continuously. Hopefully your draw on Sat puts you at ease and they give you a scan to rule it out definitively!

 

[Laubull]

Thanks Navy. My worry is with my ectopic I didn't have continuous bright bleeding, just brown spotting and no pain..... Where is my crystal ball?!

Hope you're ok Navy

Welcome beneathmywing and Dotty Doo

Navy-- Glad your son is okay. Hopefully your progesterone rises or they at least give you some.

Laubull-- Hoping everything is okay and just some implantation bleeding.

AFM-- I was on progesterone for my son and had been taking it for this pregnancy. I called to get a refill on it and apparently it got lost somehow and my insurance needs preauthorization. I have now been without it since Saturday which makes me nervous. My tests the test line is darker than the control line and I still keep testing almost every other day. Just worried that I'll lose this baby because of someone elses mistake.

 

[NavyLadybug]

cntrygrl- I would be PISSED!! I'd be raising all kinds of hell with them for that. Can you perhaps use the OTC cream as a supplement until you get the insurance thing straitened out?

I got an email from my Dr this morning, they gave me a sort of preliminary date set on when they suspect I may have O'd, they suspect it was between July 17th - 19th (I had a large temp drop on the 17th, so that definitely supports that) Making me just shy of 3 weeks post O and just under a normal 5 weeks if I had actually had a normal LMP date. They want me to have a repeat P and HCG drawing like they already said, and to still go ahead with the scan next Thurs. They also may do ANOTHER repeat scan the week after that depending on what my numbers are looking at and I'm still supposed to be getting a call from my specialist about my P levels from last week

With the dates they gave me, I would have been 4+4 yesterday, so no sac would have been visable. I'm trying to stay hopeful with this new information.
I want to jump for joy but at the same time, they said things could have been hopeful in June so I'm still scared. But I'm trying to stay as calm as I can

 

[cntrygrl]

Navy-- I'll see about doing that until they get my normal straightened out.
