That's awesome! Congrats! I did a digi too but it said 1-2 weeks I hope that's okay...I'm really nervous about the repeat bloods, I will know Monday what the results are I guess I'm just hoping everything is normal and the baby is healthy and happy hanging out in there and stays put

Hey winegums and missynz thanks for joining and congrats to you both!
So I have no patience and got my bloods today, they were 120, so I think this is good (it was two days inbetween readings) have you guys had HcGs done? What were your numbers? Any symptoms yet?

Welcome londoncharles! and Congrats!!!
missynz - I have noticed my boobs are fuller, I'm also super tired (i slept 13 hours last night!) and really bloated! I look 15weeks already lol! I'm finding I only want certain foods, I am surprised that I don't really want junk food, I guess that's a good thing
I'm getting bloods monday again so I'll let you guys know tomorrow what they were and you'll have to let me know how all of yours are too. Then I guess I get my first appt. with the dr. When are your first appts?

i had my doc appointment
she was lovely... asked me
1.was this planned
2. do you smoke
3. do you drink
4. are you taking folic acid already
5. is this your first pregnancy
6.what was the first day of your last period

she said congrats, took my blood pressure then had a quick chat about foods you can't eat etc but i already knew everything as i was pregnant last year lol

then she said that she was sending a referral letter to the maternity team and they should contact me by about 9-10weeks for a booking appointment and also a letter through to say when my 12 week scan will be

just happy the ball is rolling xxx

Hi ladies... my sickness is slowly going away now... still have a stuffy nose..ugh but my appt is June 2nd and at that time i will get a scan of the baby to see the sac and possible a fetal pole... at times i wonder if i'm carrying twins because this pregnancy is a little different.. i found out sooner that i was pregnant and my morning sickness came quick too...ummm Hope everyone's appt. goes well today... can't wait for the updated...

Hi Girls- please can I join you in here- I am 4wks 6 days today- I got my BFP 8 days ago. I was on my fourth round of CLomid and had been TTCing for nearly 6 years xxx

 

[missynz]

welcome welcome welcome

 

[L005]

babyloulou welcome!
So I got my bloods today 271!!! The doctor said that's great so I don't need to repeat them (the bonus of working with your doctor ) So she said the next step is getting a dating ultrasound between 7-8 weeks. She said if I did it sooner there is a possiblity there will not be a heartbeat yet and then I'd worry and have to repeat it and then it would probably be okay so to stop me from worrying (she knows me so well ) she said 7-8 weeks which works out kinda perfectly because it is the week of our one year wedding anniversary!
londoncharles - How far along will you be on June 2nd? Will you have that one U/S and then a 12week? Twins would be so much fun!!!
winegums - does that mean you are not having a dating u/s? Is the 12 week for IPS?
Are you guys doing IPS testing? We have decided to do it so that's another U/S we get

 

[winegums]

l005 in the UK they don't offer you a scan before 12 weeks unless you have a history of ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages.
Some people either bleed or say they have bled and get a scan before that but there is no way i would want to tempt fate so i have booked a private scan for around 8 weeks (14th June)
also what is IPS? the only scans we are offered here is 12 weeks nuchal (see things like downs syndrome) and the 20 week anomolie scan... any more you can only have if you're having complications with your pregnancy or if you go private

I am having a scan at 9-10 weeks, but that is an extra one that has been organised by my fertility specialist because I conceived on fertility drugs! I'm not sure what difference that makes but he has said an extra scan in his clinic at 9-10 weeks then another extra one at 18 weeks xx
