Hi ladies,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Mackjess, sorry to hear about the bleeding scare, but I think you're right to listen to the OPs - it does sound like IB, and your symptoms seem just perfect! Or EDDs are 1 day apart. Yay! I so pray that we can go on this journey together...the whole way through! thank you for the website info

Ladykara, CONGRATS on hearing the heartbeat! That is awesome sweetie! I'm so happy for you, what a relief it must be!

TBH, I'm not sure what I want to do this pregnancy re: betas and ultrasounds. I had super close monitoring in my last pregnancy and it honesty turned me into a wreck. This is the first pregnancy I will be going through with my fertility specialist (instead of my GP) so I suppose I will have to see what he says. I will probably leave a message with his secretary sometime this week to tell him the news. But, I'm thinking I'd honesty prefer to skip the betas and just go with an ultrasound later...maybe even 12 weeks. Like GirlinYork I also have a Doppler and would be fine using that until the scan.

Sigh, so much to think about!

Girlinyork, don't worry about the cramping! Totally normal. Things are just moving around down there and everythingis stretching to make room for your growing little bean I know you know this () but it really does help to hear it from someone else! Don't worry, Hun.

 

[girlinyork]

It probably is ok. I'm a bit put out though because it's moved into my back which is what happened with my last mc. I'm speaking to my gp about it just in case

 

[hopestruck]

That's a good idea. I think that anything that helps ease our worries is worth doing!

Lumen, enjoy your nap!

I just noticed your cramping post girly....Thats ok I have looked up loads things regarding cramping and it says its just your uterus streching...how bad is the cramp? x x x

Thinking of your girlinyork x x x

 

[girlinyork]

It's pretty uncomfortable. Enough to get in the way of me doing things :/ I'm trying to rest as much as possible. Got my feet up and oh making me some dinner

 

[mackjess]

Girl, I thought I had cramps yesterday, too mild to tell, and today my lower back is killin me! Never get a sore lower back and I know it's a symptom.

The OB finally called back. She thinks the spotting was the rest of the IB working its way out (I had 3 tiny red dots last Tuesday) and that my HCG and Progesterone look great for me being at 3/4 weeks. I'm going back in now for HCG to make sure it's rising like it should. I was so busy doing a happy dance that they were going to recheck it today that I forgot to ask what it was at Friday. My progesterone was at 19 whatever that means. So now just one more long wait until tomorrow to find out if HCG is doubling. I will feel SO much better then. For now I haven't relaxed enough to feel pregnant. I haven't even told my sister yet, as much as it pains me. Just sharing w/DH and you gals for now. I just can't get my hopes up yet unless tomorrow brings good news.

Well you just enjoy the rest mrs..get you feet up and let your OH ran after you for a bit....after dinner you could watch a wee movie and get yourself some choccies

 

[girlinyork]

Cramps fairly mild now. Seeing gp tomorrow and going to ask for a reassurance scan

 

[Lumen000]

At least they have eased off, thats good to hear. Still rest and make the most of your OH tonight x xx

 

[girlinyork]

I'm resting up with big bang theory so relieved cramps have eased. I thought it was curtains for a moment there

 

[hopestruck]

Mackjess, yay for your awesome beta + progesterone results! will kmfx for a beautiful doubling time tomorrow

GirlinYork, glad the cramps have simmered down a bit

 

[Lumen000]

relax and enjoy Girlinyork x

[mackjess]

thanks everyone. girl, keep us posted. everything crossed for you.

GIY- go to bed honey, but we all know mild cramps are common, they say cramping with bleeding is not always a good sign but I personally know that's rubbish too because I had cramps and major bleeding with Paige and she was fine... Bleeding, cramps can be bad but it can also mean nothing.. It's a roller coaster and its stressful going through it.. Times that by 10 when you have already suffered a MC and it doubles with every pregnancy.


I have a very annoying 14 year old who right now I want to sell on eBay !!! My sickness is coming back too, may go and puke in the loo just to get 5 mins of peace !!!! X

 

[girlinyork]

Thanks everyone hopefully my gp will let me go for a scan. I'm there at 2.20 tomorrow so I'll let you know what he says

 

[ladykara]

How do you feel this morning ?? X

 

[girlinyork]

No more cramping but all my symptoms mild. Going to gp to ask for a scan. Last nights pains were very bad and I want it investigated. OH tried to reassure me by saying - don't worry, you're still looking fat. Nice.
