Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

I'll be 6+4 tomorrow. I knew I was 7+3 first time but bubs was sized 6+4. Coincidences!

Welcome monro, I don't know a lot about progesterone but my last pregnancy my levels were only 15 when she said they should be over 17 at 15dpo, I did take progesterone tablets but it was too late... Your levels sounds really good !! Congrats xx

Morning ladies - GIY - congrats on getting in for a scan tomorrow! Praying your bubs measures on target tomorrow

Lumen - just out of curiosity (as we have had the same # of losses), what tests did you have (assuming you have had some)? Are you on any treatment? I am just on baby aspirin + 400mg prometrium. I am also using Welcome Womb this time around.

I got 9 bloods took and I got the Chromosone analysis and hormone levels checked and other things that I cant remember (I know its bad) but they all came back clear so I am not on any meds at the moment oh ye the blood clotting thing was fine too so no need for aspirin either... x

There are MANY blood clotting disorders. If they took 9 vials there is no way they've tested for all of them. I've probably had well over 30 vials taken to test for them. They did one series of tests that all came back normal. I went to another doctor that did a whole new series and FVL came back positive.

Yeah, this is interesting (and again Amjon!!!). I have had about 30 vials taken as well for both blood clotting disorders as well as hormonal and immunological stuff. My fertility specialist is at the point where we also did a few tests for what he considers to be "hokey" (i.e. really controversial stuff). Still nothing. Frustrating not have any answers...

Well AFM, I am feeling less and less confident about this pregnancy. My symptoms are very minimal (just sore bbs now) and my tests don't seem to be getting any darker. Just going to wait it out I guess....

Stop testing. It drove me mad overanalysing my lines and everything seems fine. It's really not a reliable indicator of the health of your pregnancy xx

That's the plan. I am throwing in the towel! It is making me haha.

I ordered some Detect5 tests, so I may try those out when I get them, but aside from that, NO MORE TESTING. We will see if my doctor wants betas when I see him on Monday.

Thanks

 

[girlinyork]

Betas would be far more reassuring

 

[hopestruck]

Or upsetting!

Hope everyone has a great day today!

 

[monro84]

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome

Flapjack I hope your ankle is better.

I am having my blood take tomorrow but the orders don't show a progetrerone test on this one so just HCG. I guess I will know something after 5 tomorrow Wait they close at 12:30 so I will have to get it done at 8 am. And I might have it back tomorrow

 

[flapjack10]

EPU contacted me. Scanning me tomorrow. I'll be getting there for 9 and then it's first come, first served

Good luck GIY!

My ankle hurts, but I think I'm ok. So stupid!

Hope you're all ok! This PARL stuff is stressful.

So today the nausea is on and off like normal. Consistent food aversions, but heres a question for you all.

Im not OVERLY tired. I do go to bed earlier (9pm ish every night) but the main thing I am experiencing with this pregnancy is this dazed/hazy feeling ALL day long. Like my mind is cloudy. Not like I need to go to bed but I just cant focus. Anyone else experiencing this?

Flapjack - Who knows HOW I ended up on it, but yesterday while I was reading something about pregnancy on babycenter, I got distracted by a thread on the side. It was stories about ladies that had fallen while pregnant, AND WERE FINE, but they were hilarious stories about it. Lamps were broken, a metal chair BENT, cats were freaked out, small children were landed on, husbands drug to the ground with them, pants were peed, I was laughing so hard I was crying. No beans, animals, DHs or small children were hurt. It was so nice to read funny stories about being prego and everything turning out fine. I highly recommend that over my normal reading about chemical pregnancies and recurrent m/cs.

I hope your ankle is better, and from what I read yesterday your bean is sturdier than metal chairs and lamps. Hehe.

Mack, thank you for sharing - that brought a smile to my face!

Yep, dr says it's baby brain. Less blood to the head in favour of other parts

 

[mackjess]

Woot Woot. Blood came back good. HCG is still doubling like ka-razy!

My first Appt is 11/29. I will be 6 weeks then so I think they will listen for the heartbeat.

 

[girlinyork]

Yay Jess, so happy for you x

 

[Lumen000]

woop woop jess xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[ladykara]

Yay jess that's fab news xx

Shashua- I would say that's baby brain, a lot is going on and it can effect so many different parts of the body x

I still have that sick feeling all the time .... I don't remember what it was like to feel Normal..... It's really getting me down now... I'm suppose to be going out with friends tomorrow evening and I don't think I'll be able to make it x

 

[Lumen000]

I've always thought that you couldn't get your hair color if you are pregnant. Then I remembered my stylist has been pregnant and had two babies since I've been going to her. So I googled it and it seems long as it doesn't have ammonia and you are in a well ventilated area it should be ok..

What do you ladies think?

I feel exactly the same! My sickness has subsided a bit, but I feel "hazy" and "lazy" and other words ending in "zy".


Good luck GIY! Thinking of you today!

I have no idea about hair dye, sorry!
