Fun!!, I wish I had those digis where I live!

I dont think people should get on at the poster who said she will be leaving the forum for a bit. Everyone is different and copes in different ways. I will often not look at certain threads when I'm having a worrying day as it really can make me so so scared that I end up in a panic...which I'm sure is no good for the bunch of cells I am growing.

That is not to say I dont want to offer support, as I will, but sometimes people have to do what is best for them, and if that means not reading certain things then they have every right to do that, and be honest about it without judgement.

In no way am I trying to have a dig at anyone but I think when people say that everyone deserves support and understanding then maybe that should also be extended to those who chose to deal with things in different ways.

I think the support offered in this forum is fantastic and it has helped me so much on my journey so far that I can probably say that if I wasnt on here I may not be pregnant - i was that clueless to how it all worked, damn sex education!!
I just think that sometimes people should try not to take things to heart too much when it comes to someone elses coping methods/opionions, there are thousands of us on here and we are all going to think/cope differently, personally, I think thats a good thing!

Anyway, I've babbled so much I cant remember who I was going to post to, but to those ladies having a hard time at the moment I really hope it gets better for you xxx

Completely aside from everything else that's going on, I just wanted to come on here and have a little sulk.

I've just sat in my car at work and had a long old cry. Turns out I can't get in to see the midwife until the 2nd week of jan. I'll be between 9 and 10 weeks by then. I just got so upset.

 

[JenzyKY]

Many hugs Girly922. That stinks. Don't they know we want reassured by our appointments!

My emotions have been all over the place the last few days. Crying to anger in seconds.

I agree with both sides. In my first pregnancy i stepped away from the first tri forum completely. I personally find it hard to read 100 "am i or am i not miscarrying" threads. I have been a little more active this pregnancy being through it once before. But you will notice i don't comment a lot in the early stages on the negative. I sorta speed read over it. Everyone is different. I have big to everyone who is worried. I am not worried - and not because i know nothing will go wrong, because it very well might. But its not something i can prevent or change. So i don't see the point in causing undo stress to myself. I am a very positive person and everytime i go pee and im not bleeding i go "YAY im still pregnant!!". I do not have access to have my blood taken to see my hcg rising. maybe thats a good thing, cause its something i don't have to worry about cause i have no idea?? I don't know. I DO know (seeing as how i've been part of one of htese threads before) in the next 12 weeks we are going to SEE A LOT of people join this thread. We might end up near 100 august due dates and we will probably see 10 -15 or so of our friends here loose their pregnancy. Its very sad and hard at times, but we need to try to all get along, because the MAJORITY of us are stuck with each other for a LONG 9 months!!

Everything you just said readynwilling!!!!!!

 

[wannabeprego]

Welcome to all of the new ladies!!!

Well girls, My 1st HCG bloods betas at 4 weeks yesterday was 203!!!


So I am really happy with those results because that means I have a strong and healthy pregnancy so far. My next beta will be this coming Friday. With that number I can't tell yet if it is a single baby or multiples yet unfortunatly so we will have to wait to try to figure out how many babies it is still. LOL....

 

[readynwilling]

Congrats Wannabepreggo!!! Im glad to hear you were reassured Im still uber excited to find out how many little beans you are baking (i personally hope its 3 LOL only cause its you and not me hahahahahahahaha)

 

[Sooz]

I think its a bit easier second time around TBH. I had to avoid the first trimester forum a lot in my first pregnancy because I am not a positive person by nature. I only went in it this time to find this thread.

Im much like you though, every day that goes by I celebrate being another day pregnant and I am not consumed by worry this time round. I do think having my daughter to focus on helps, time with her passes so quickly. X

 

[charlie00134]

I just want to say 5 weeks woop

 

[CordeliaJ]

Trying to get the results of my second blood test (to see if HCG is rising correctly), but they just won't get back to me. Last time they called within 2 days, this time it's been 2 days, so I phoned them myself, and they said "we'll call you back". That was this morning & now I can't get through. Do you think something might be wrong? It's so mean of them I just want to know if everything's ok.

Hi gals! I want to update you!

I went to the ER, got an ultrasound: 100% not an ectopic. My uterus and endometrium have grown. They suspect I'm much earlier than they thought I was. Instead of 5 weeks, early 4weeks or even 3 weeks.

Hcg in 2 days went from 130 to 185. Progesterone from 12 to 10. This dr said that if hcg elevates some, it's a good sign.

Tomorrow I'll have to see my OB/GYN, and probably will need progesterone suppositories to elevate hcg and sustain this pregnancy.

I'm full of hopes, and I'm positive we'll be fine! I can feel it!

My due date should be 6th August. When first heartbeat should be detected?

My due date should be 6th August. When first heartbeat should be detected?

On an U/S they can see it around 6 weeks. With a doppler not until around 14 weeks.

 

[Koonk]

Thanks, my appointment is on the 15th December. I hope to hear heartneat as I was on clomid and wonder if I have twins

 

[Ellberry]

Can I ask a question, do you all get the blood tests and scans etc because you have had losses previously or is it the norm??
I'm sorry its quite personal, its just I did 2 hpt on the day I found out then 1 a week or so later and thats it. I only have my symptoms (or lack of sometimes) to help reassure me until the 1st app with my midwife, then after that my first scan at 12wks. (unless I want to keep peeing on a stick-which i think will drive me insane)

Am I missing out on something that I should be getting??????

[Crystal5483]

Ellberry my bloods are due to seeing a fertility specialist and not just an OB ... My early scans are due to early losses and suspected ectopic.

Best of luck to you all.

Charlie congrats on 5 weeks!

I was wondering the same thing. This will be my first baby and my first time TTC.. I will be away from this sat to next sat and won't even see a doctor until I come back.
