[sandyhen85]

oops double post

 

[c.m.c]

AM I'm thinking of you!! Hope it's going well


Sandy.....ur numbers look good. FX this for ur scan...how soon will they do it?

 

[sandyhen85]

I think they will do it as soon as they think my hcg is high enough...I believe they have to be 1200, mine should be no less than 800 on tuesday, but if by chance they are higher then i think she will try to scan...this week has been so super slow though, just want to have it done now

Actually, I just thought...on Tuesday ill technically only be 4w1d from lmp (20days since ovulation) so I think that would be way too early regardless of the hcg level wouldn't it?

Yip you can see a sac at 5 weeks but usually not a hb to 6 .
My HCG was 10338 at 4+6 and only a sac seen

Ya my doctor wouldn't do a u/s till 6 weeks! Just went today and saw my little bean in there with a heart beating away!! I tried to upload the pics but I suck at it lol!

 

[sandyhen85]

I may have to wait another few weeks then...yikes!! CMC, you might be able to help me actually because you too ovulated early, how are you being dated...from lmp still even though your cycle would have been shorter? It sounds so strange to think I am just 3w5d if I go by lmp, but I'm actually 16days since o already

Am that's great news that it went so well, I bet it feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders now...really pleased for you x x

 

[c.m.c]

Yes just since lmp....they won't change your dates on your first scan unless your 7days out and at 20weeks they won't change dates unless you're 10 days out

I always O early. With dd I was always measuring 6 days ahead but they never changed my dates. She was born at 39+6 which I thought was late lol

 

[sandyhen85]

Wow so I'm 3w5d that means I have even longer in the 12 week wait lol

Thanks for helping me clear that up x

Congrats on the heartbeat, AM!!!!

I'm so glad I found you ladies. You give me so much hope to conceive again with one tube. You are all success stories in my book. HUGS!

Sandy, the wait is SO long. It seems like we are always waiting. Waiting to ovulate, then waiting to test, then waiting for ultrasound, then waiting to get past 12 weeks....ahh!!

I hope to join you soon! Yes, my ultrasound with my last pregnancy (my heterotopic) was also at 6 weeks. They saw a baby in the uterus with a heartbeat, so we thought all was good! Until I had bleeding later on that week which led to another ultrasound and they saw that I had ovulated from both ovaries....so, because of my previous ectopic, they looked closer, and that's when they found the other baby. In the same tube as my previous ectopic.

Oh well, the faulty tube is gone! Come on, right tube, you can do it!

Hi ladies, do you mind if I join?
I had an ectopic pregnancy last year in October. I was 6 wks 2 days when I had the surgery but had been in hospital for a week and a half before that with expectant management/ they still couldn't determine if it was an ectopic because my hcg numbers where increasing then dropping (indicating I was expelling the ectopic on my own) and back to creeping up again.
I had my right ovary previously removed due to cysts a number of years ago so really I only had one functioning side and this was my only chance of getting pregnant naturally.
Before the surgery I begged them not to remove my tube so they left it in but told me in was in pretty poor shape.
Fast forward to July this year and I were booked into have a HSG done to check on my tubes and results showed my left tube was blocked. I was devastated as that was the side with my remaining ovary.
Well a few days ago I had the most awful metal taste in my mouth when I ate or drunk anything so I tested and got a BFP! I couldn't believe it. I had been told I would need to do ivf to get pregnant.
I'm still super nervous as it could be another ectopic and have to wait for a scan and more bloods.
I had bloods drawn on Friday two days ago at 11dpo and they were 28, tomorrow will be the next set and I am praying for nice rise.

Congrats to you all who have got bfps and don't give up those who don't!

Hi ladies I'm back from my holidays, hope your all well! Welcome baybe.

 

[c.m.c]

Maybe....congrats!! My FX all is well for you!!

Welcome back ll84!!!!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Thank you!!! Ahhh that scares me!! I am praying that that doesn't happen to me you or anyone!! How many DPO? Are you guys trying naturally or getting fertility help? I got my ectopic with and IUI and I blame the meds I was on...this month when we tried it was 2 months after the surgery and no meds...so I am hoping and praying it was the meds that caused the ectopic!

Congrats on the heartbeat, AM!!!!

maybebayb how was your second betas, i hope there was a nice rise. really sorry to read what happened before, but how wonderful to get pregnant naturally...i really hope its all ok.

ladyluck welcome back...how was the break, nice and relaxing?

how are the rest of you ladies doing?

i had my 3rd beta test today, at 15dpo they were 163.84 and now at 19dpo theyre 1288.74, so they tripled in 4 days....scan 1 week today eeeekkk

 

[c.m.c]

Sandy...good numbers FX it goes well with the scan

 

[Amcolecchi]

Sorry if you ladies saw this in a another post but today I am having some pelvic pressure, nothing too bad and it comes and goes but it's different than the other cramping so I just want to make sure I am ok..I got the u/s Friday and showed a baby with a heartbeat so I am starting to get concerned!

 

[ladyluck84]

Amcolecchi hope your ok. Can you get another scan to check? Have you spoken to a doctor?

The break was lively thank you. I'm actually going away again tomorrow. Hubby is taking me away so we are not at home for what would have been out due date

 

[maybebayb]

So my betas have gone from 28 at 11dpo to 127 at 14 dpo, a doubling time of about 34 hours so far so good but I'm still pretty anxious until I get a scan when they get above 1000.. If I can get that far.. Last time I only got to 600

 

[sandyhen85]

ladies, has anyone had beige coloured cm? had such a scare earlier when i went to the toilet and saw this beige in my underwear...keeping an eye on it but a little worried...could it have anything to do with the progesterone i started yesterday?

Am please keep us updated and try for another scan, have you had any bleeding...im sure everything is fine but fingers crossed for you

maybebayb thats a good progression fingers crossed for you when is your next test?

ladyluck i think going away together is a lovely idea i hope you are able to somewhat enjoy it x
