Buddies for Late January/Early February Babies!

[Flourish]

Wow navy a busy day! I hope you son is okay.

Hopeful as navy says you have all of us here with you.. I'm not really sure what else to say but thinking of you and again as navy says just focus on the beautiful little girl you are having xx

I've just got back from Italy... No sickness woop woop! Hopefully it's true what they say that 16 weeks is the turning point and I am starting to feel better as I am almost 16 weeks now! Yay!

I hope everyone else is doing okay.

Thanks Ladies!

I am glad your trip to Italy went well. I have always wanted to go, it is on my bucket list of places to visit.

Dr. called yesterday, he scheduled me in for an Ultrasound on Tuesday Morning, then I am meeting with a midwife on Tuesday Afternoon. I am sure it will be a busy day. We won't get any results back until the radiologist gives my Dr. a report so most likely Friday or the following week.

How is everyone doing?

So glad to hear your hcg is continuing to rise, navy! Hope DS is doing ok after his accident!

Omg Hopeful, that is really scary to hear! But, one of my friends had 2 soft markers shown in an ultrasound last year and the doctors told her her child most likely had something wrong with her. She was so freaked out but then when the baby was born, she was perfectly fine and healthy! Just try and stay positive!! *hugs*

Yay flourish, that is great that you are feeling better and were able to enjoy your trip! I was an au pair in Dublin for a year and really wanted to make it to Italy and Sicily while I was there but didn't have the funds as I only made 100 euro a week. I have cousins in Sicily who I am friends with on fb but have never met but it would be really fun to meet them.

Thanks Michele!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I will be back on Monday.

Tonight DH and I are going Trainwreck - I love Amy Schumer!!

I got a call from my Specialist earlier today, she's putting me on progesterone and she said my numbers actually look great on the rising scale and that normally nothing can be seen on a scan with a level under 2000 (mine on the day of my scan was only 950) so she's actually very confident that they should see something next week and with my pattern my level should be 15000 on the day of my scan which is high enough to usually see a heartbeat!!

I also found out a 2 week supply (14 tubes) of my Crinone costs 800$ in my area without insurance and I have a 6 weeks supply.... I have $2400 in that picture and my insurance (Military insurance) covered it all... I'm in a bit of shock over that.

I've been gone so long! I'll try and update myself by reading through old posts but i probably won't get to that today.

Congrats navy on your pregnancy, I am so happy for you! Hopefully this next week goes quickly and you can have a second ultrasound and set your mind at ease. Same for you hopeful. It's always scary when they tell you there's markers for things. My sister had twins and they tried to get her to terminate one because they shared a blood vessel in the placenta that caused one to grow too big and one to grow less (ttts) and they said the smaller baby had heart problems. Well she kept them both and they are healthy beautiful six year old girls! I know it's hard, but try not to worry too much until your next appointment.

Afm not much going on here. Finally passed all of the nausea. Have my ultrasound on 8/27 but staying team yellow!

 

[AmandaBanana]

Navy that's crazy expensive!
Hopeful, I'll be thinking of you!

Sorry I don't got much time to respond to everything. Been a little busy lately but I'm doing well.
Getting super anxious for the ultrasound!
And all your ladies us too!

 

[Hopeful.89]

Thank you for the support ladies!

LightBright - Your U/S will come soon enough! August seems to be flying by for me so far. Also glad that your sickness is going away!

Navy - That is great that your insurance covers all of that!

Amanda - When is your next U/S?


AFM - Had a good weekend with DH and family, I am excited and a little bit nervous for my U/S tomorrow morning. Really excited to sleep in with DH. After the U/S I am meeting with a midwife to see if she is available to take me on as a patient. Then hopefully DH and I can get in a round of golf.

 

[Micheleb87]

Hopeful, how was trainwreck? I love Amy Schumer too! She is hilarious. I want to see that movie soon. Good luck on the ultrasound tomorrow! You'll be in my thoughts! I hope it all goes well and they end up telling you they were mistaken!

Navy, that's great that your insurance covers that! What day is your ultrasound?

I have monthly appointment today and then my next appt, in 4 more weeks, will be my big 20 weeks ultrasound. I'm really hoping they'll bring in the ultrasound machine again so I can ask my dr to see baby again! I can't imagine her saying no if the machine is in there. She is just such a sweet woman and I'm so thankful for her.

Also, I had a dream last night that I was having twins and I'm like this is impossible! it was such a strange dream...

 

[NavyLadybug]

My next scan is this Thurs

Hopeful, fingers crossed that its nothing and that everything is perfectly fine!

 

[Hopeful.89]

Yay Navy - Thursday will come fast!!

Michele - Trainwreck was so funny!! There were several times I almost peed my pants laughing! She reminded me so much of when I was younger and single which made it that much funnier.
Eek! It is so exciting that our 20 week ultrasounds are coming up! I don't have a date for mine yet, I assume after I meet with my doctor following tomorrow's Ultrasound he will schedule it.

 

[NavyLadybug]

I'm freaking out. I just got a call from my specilist. My U/S from before was reviewed by their radiologist and it wasn't showing something he was happy with so now I have my next ultrasound on Thurs at 8AM by him personally. She wouldn't tell me what was wrong so now I'm freaking out all over again. Whatever is wrong has them wanting to see me first thing in the morning and have me stick around until the results come in. I also can't have it by an OB meaning that DH can't be in there and I can't look at the screen

 

[Hopeful.89]

Oh Navy I am sorry to hear that, I hope if it was something they were seriously concerned with they would have got you in before Thursday. I will be thinking of you and praying that it is nothing that will affect you or baby. If you ask your Radiologist to see the screen I am sure they will let you at some point. I am surprised that your OB is usually there for your ultrasounds ours are all done by U/S Techs and then reviewed by a radiologist and then a report is sent to the doc or OB.

 

[NavyLadybug]

In the US, if the U/S isn't done in the OB Dept, you can't see it. Weird rule but thats how it is.

 

[Hopeful.89]

Oh that really sucks!!

Well I wish you well and I will have you in my thoughts. We are all here for you!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Got a call from my Dr about the report, they read it off word for word, everything looking perfect. My ovaries, tubes, uterus, cervix and lining is fine. Only reason they're having me come back to radiology is so that they have someone who is experienced in early gestation so that they can find it. The Dr who called me with results before just doesn't know how to word things.

 

[Micheleb87]

Omg navy, how horrible of them to scare you like that! Doctors are really insensitive and not very considerate sometimes! I'm so happy I found such an amazing one. Anyway, so glad it turned out not to be a big deal! Can't wait to hear about yours on Thursday! You'll be 6 weeks then? A few more and you'll be close to being out of the danger zone! Yay!

Hopeful, that's awesome! Hopefully we'll get to see it soon. Maybe this weekend we'll be able to go. I just got a ticket last week to go to Portland and visit my friends for 5 days on September 11th so I am trying to save money for that. I'm super excited to go though! I've never been there and I just helped them pack to move from here to there over a month ago so it will be super nice to see them and explore Portland. I can't wait for our 20 weeks ultrasounds either! Then we can all relax a bit when we know everything is looking good It'll be AWESOME! :-D

 

[AmandaBanana]

Navy I'm so relieved to hear that.
How terrible to scare you like that!!

[NavyLadybug]

Ohhhh, cute baby bump!!!!

 

[AmandaBanana]

Thanks I use my 8 week photo because the bloat was gone so it's the most accurate looking to the beginning of pregnancy, funny enough!
