Assisted Conception and LTTTC - Due in 2013/2014

[Em260]

First - sorry you're spotting I bet it's from the u/s wand but maybe call your doctor just for peace of mind

 

[L4hope]

First and Em congrats on your ultrasounds and getting released to your OB though its hard to leave the security of the RE who helped you get to this point! It really is a good thing!!! I remember not wanting to leave as well. And yes I still worry a little at 21 weeks but it has diminished greatly since hitting the 20 week mark and seeing a little moving baby inside me. Just keep plugging along and know that your chances get better and better as each week passes!

 

[Babiesimready]

Hello Ladies... Hope everyone is doing great

 

[BabyD225]

How exciting Em!!!! I have my sono tonight.. so nervous!!!

Seems like yesterday we were both in first tri...not long now we'll be holding our little miracle
How are you feeling? Showing yet? Also Have you felt the baby move? I felt my LO last week for the first time... I was teary eyed

 

[scerena]

ladies hope you're all well? Nothing new with me still exhausted and nausea is evil- still haven't been sick though...
Anyhow I will try be around more now

first we are so close in dates I too am very cautious- congrats on your u/s though I hope the spotting is from the probe

BabyD can't wait to hear all about your u/s

sweetness87 thanks for that statistic about getting to 8 weeks

Em fab news that your scan went well and you saw the heartbeat so happy for you

 

[BabyD225]

Thanks Scerena! What day did you first see the HB and what was it? I'm 6w2d today and so nervous because she said she may or may not see a HB.. but I feel like she should!

 

[scerena]

BabyD I didn't go back to my clinic I went to a place closer to home- they said I was 6wks but I was 6w2d- which I know as was an IVF pregnancy and measurements is 6w2d but i dont know- we saw the heart beat clearly- they didn't tell me what it was though sorry
I'm sure you will be fine

 

[FirstTry]

So, the nurse said spotting is common in the first tri. I should monitor it and let her know if it gets worse. As of now, I haven't seen any today

 

[michelle01]

Good luck Baby with your sono; I am sure everything will be great

Great news First about no more spotting. It seems so common in the first tri especially with IVF, but it is still very scary.

Just had my OB appt; going every 2 weeks now and all is good. Weight gain to date is 23 pounds and measuring right on track. She was able to tell he is head down; amazing how they can feel that But no wonder it feels so heavy down there too

See told ya . I know it sucks though. Soooooo worrisome. I was in bed last night and got up to pee and more red spotting. Went back three four hours later then back to brown. I don't get it. I know that have cleared me. But bleeding just worries me

 

[alicatt]

Hey everyone.. been stalking recently as I haven't had too
much to say.. I've been struggling with MS, and last night it was so bad I puked! UGH! I keep telling myself this is good news but I'm still so nervous.
I have my second US tomorrow at 10am, they moved it from 2:30 so I'll know earlier! Dr. Google has totally freaked me out! We didn't see the HB at 6w5d or a fetal pole. FS said I was only 5w6d last Wednesday, according to my gestational sac size and my hCG. So if the baby has not appeared and we don't see a HB, then it's likely I have a blighted ovum.

Anyone have any information on a blighted ovum? From all I've read it is hard to distinguish between a normal pregnancy and a blighted ovum.

 

[L4hope]

Sorry Ali I don't know much about blighted ovums as my m/c baby had heartbeat but was too low and stopped developing. Google sometimes can make things worse. Tomorrow will give you your answer. Almost there!

 

[michelle01]

Ali - I didn't even know what a blighted ovum even was until I just googled it. Now I realize this is exactly what happened to me with my first IVF cycle but my FS never referred to it as this, but after this occurance is when they found I had/have a blood clotting problem. However I never really had any pg symptoms like you seem to be having, so at this point, just under 24 hours and you will know I am hoping/praying you get good news tomorrow morning!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Ali- I know it's hard but try to relax. Symptoms are a good thing. And our babies can measure behind and all is well. Your ultrasound will be here before you know it

 

[michelle01]

Sweet - How far along are you?

 

[Sweetness_87]

Sweet - How far along are you?

I'm 7+4. I'm having another ultrasound tom just to insure they are still doing great. Then I have my 8+4 next tues. just want a little reassurance as last time my mishap happened at 7+4 but my bbs still sore off and on (on the sides) and intermitten nausea. I feel good because still having symptoms. But had another episode of red and brown spotting. It's starts as red then goes to brown. They already checked me out last time this happened and there was no bleeding in the uterus they think itsr from the cervix. A combo between the lovenox blood thinner shots and preg with twins that make me more vascular. I have had lots of symptoms with this one so I feel more confident about this. Just nerve racking. I did also have slight intermitten cramping last night but wonder if it's my uterus starting to grow.

Hey Babies! It is pretty crazy we're over halfway there now! I'm feeling pretty good so far. My belly has definitely started to pop out a little bit. I have felt very little faint movements here and there for a couple weeks, but the past few days the movement has been much more noticeable and I'm loving it!

 

[FirstTry]

Ali: my mc was a blighted ovum. I had no morning sickness or really any other symptoms. That's the big difference this time. They did multiple ultrasounds, like every 2-3 days, then finally called it a failure at 7 weeks 1 day, as there was still no yolk sac or fetal pole.

Sweetness: I'm glad you were able to schedule an earlier u/s. Good luck!

 

[Em260]

Thanks everyone we're on

First - glad you called about the spotting. I know it's common but still really scary too Good that you haven't seen anymore today.

BabyD - good luck tonight!!

Michelle - wow how cool that they can tell he is head down! Sounds like you gained the perfect amount of weight too

Ali - good luck tomorrow! I know it's hard but try not to visit dr. google all that does is cause unnecessary worry.

L4 - how great that you're feeling your LO move . I bet that is the most amazing feeling!
