Thanks Berina. I really hope there is just a second hiding. I never thought I would be saying that. LOL

 

[bernina]

I've found myself saying a lot of things I never thought I'd say. Just this morning I told my fertility specialist that I'd love to be hugging the toilet for some reassurance that the pregnancy is okay! Almost got my wish too, barely kept my stomach as I was driving home from work today!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I seem to be more nauseated today as well. I am 6weeks today. And I had no symptoms up til 2 days ago and now there are starting. I have to admit that makes me happy.

 

[bernina]

Same here. I feel quite uncomfy at the moment, but don't mind a bit (well not too much at least!)

 

[DanaBump]

lets all hope none of us are "eat the paste" special either LOL

glad you're feeling better about it all. i firmly believe this is our way of learning how to be a mom. patience is taught during pregnancy, i swear

bernina that blanket is SUPER cute! think i'll have to ask mom to knit one for me

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Yep and usually eating does help with the nausea but not today

 

[bernina]

I thought the same thing so ate 1 wheat thin cracker and that's when I almost lost it. Found that candied ginger helped the most. Got rid of some of that sour stomach feeling. Oh and pickles, something about the vinegar helped to calm my stomach.

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Pickles worked for me too!! That is great! Well I am off to bed. Thank you again for the support tonight. I am sure I am fretting for nothing. Good night

Ladies I need some help. Dr office just called back a bit ago to set up a ultrasound for tuesday. They did a quick scan yesterday to make sure there was just one as thats all we seen however my levels came back high again. Here they are

August 2(10dpo): 33(3weeks 3days)

August 5(13dpo):222(3weeks 6days)

August12(20dpo):4165(4weeks 6days)

August19(27dpo):27125.40(5weeks 6days)

I have looked on line and I seem to be in a normal range but now I am a bit freaked out as I ran across a molar pregnancy as well. We did see a large sac yesterday and a fuzzy bean so I am not really thinking its that but I am just really confused. Has anyone had levels done this often that can maybe compare with me?? Thanks Ladies

wow you're numbers are high! my doc sd i was 4 wks with 89 but then you do test rather late so we're about the same since i test about 2 days versus 6 days.

4 wk 89
4wks 2 days 250
5 wks 2 days 3106

i haven't scanned yet but my doc says i'm doing great. she was almost more excited than i was LOL

My levels were
4w - 263
4+2 - 778
5+2 - >13,000

I have no idea if that's good or bad!
>27,000 is high but if i got that I'd bd thrilled as 27 is my lucky number lol
Hcg levels can vary so much from person to person that it's hard to know what's going on. If you're just a couple of days out when you work out your dates it can make all the difference, especially if you ovulated early or late in that cycle.

Good Morning Girls ( or Evening depending where you are)
I went to see the doc yesterday and had a little bit of good news. They found a Ges. Sac, but they couldn't see the yolk sac or fetal pole. When did yours show. Should I be worried. Im going to be 6 weeks tomorrow. Im going crazy right now. My doc said I shouldn't worry because my hCG levels are going up just fine and I haven't had any bleeding but I read other post on here and a lot of girls are seeing heart beats in their 6th week. Im so scared. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi lilaries. I had a scan at about 5w5d, and all they could see was the sac at the time. I just went back for another scan (about 7w3d- my ticker below seems to run on American time and so is a day behind where I actually am), and saw the heartbeat today! Where I live they don't seem to do blood tests at all, at least this early, so all I had at the first scan was the word of the doctor that things looked normal for that stage! I know it's hard not to worry, but try not to be scared, it's much better if you can relax.

Today the doctor told me that the baby is just 8mm long, so still very tiny- I'm surprised it's possible to see a heartbeat at all! I have another scan in two weeks when they'll give me the due date. Good luck with your next scan, I'm sure it will be fine!

So when we all start moving to our second trimester, will this journal go with it? or will April sweat peas stay in first tri??

we could ask a mod to move the thread for us , or we could start a new one and everyone re join as they reach second tri ? xx

 

[Ema_o]

Hello
Can I join you? I'm due April 1st according to my dates, however I know I ovulated late so expecting to be closer to the middle of April!

Not had a chance to read through over 200 pages of thread, but hello to everyone and hope your babies are all growing well.

I am quite nervous about getting to12 weeks and the scan, don't feel very pregnant so far but sure I'll allow myself to get excited once I see little un is ok! Should be in about 4 weeks but still waiting to get my appointment through!

 

[MrsBandEgglet]

They'll move it won't they? I was also a January ganet this year and that got moved as I recall Saturday today and it's bright and sunny and I feel like I've got energy all of a sudden so I reckon I'll take Arf out for a walk later. Am tired and bursting with energy, weird

We're having an April Baby!!

Due April 25th with baby #1! Just got my last night at 8pm which was 10dpo! Tested again this morning and it was even darker!

Any due date twins yet? I know I found out super early, so I may be alone for a little.

I also found out at 10dpo. Have you had levels done yet? My 10dpo were 33 at 13dpo were 222 and at 20dpo they are 4165!! I just found out and dr wants to see me next thursday cause they think there may be more than 1!! Oh my!!

hey idk what took me so long to write back but I have had my levels drawn.. at 14dpo I was 270 and at 16dpo I was 625 so we sound just about the same! This is my first pregnancy and this waiting game, and being so nervous about something happening is a killer! I wish I could sleep for the next 8 weeks. >_<

I had a early scan yesterday and we only seen one fuzzy little bean but a very large sac. I will get another scan at 8 weeks but looks like just one bean for me. As long as its healthy I am super happy

That's great! I can't wait to have my first scan! I think I may have one in two weeks around 6 weeks since my progesterone levels dropped so they had to put me on supplements.. crossing my fingers those help keep the baby bubba in there! No one warned me pregnancy was so damn nerve wrecking! lol

 

[lisaed]

i've been soooo sick last couple of weeks and exhausted, now to top it off i have a kidney infection too
glad i have symptons but im already really struggling

Yes it is very nerve wracking!! my levels for 27dpo were 27125.40 so I go back for a transvag ultrasound tuesday. For some reason my dr thinks that is high for 6 weeks. I have read about it and my levels seem okay to me. so guess back to check again.

What do they measure at your blood tests? I have one next Thursday... I hate blood tests, passed out last time xxx

I'm not looking forward to the blood test either. Passed out when they did the blood test before TTC to see if I was immune to rubella and chicken pox. I pass out about 50% of the time. Just make sure you tell them that you might pass out.

I had mine yesterday and it was the only blood test I've ever had that I haven't passed out. I was sh1ting myself I and I posted on here about it and someone told me about emla cream... you buy it from the chemist and apply it an hour before you go for your blood test and it numbs the whole area and you don't feel a thing... Honestly I could kiss the person who invented it!

edit: Yes tell them you're likely to faint so they can lie you down... that really helps too.
