hope your appt went well, have been super tired and not on much the last few days but thats the price we pay

It went OK. They didn't do the scan. She wanted to wait til week 7 or 8, and honestly I didn't mind too much. I "think" I'm just over 6 weeks now, but I don't really track OV so I could only be 5 weeks. If she had done a scan and it was too early to hear the heartbeat I might have had a cow! So now it's scheduled now at 12/11. I'll be 7-8 weeks then and should definitely see and hear more.

They did more blood work yesterday, and I expect a call in the next hour or so with the results...hopefully. If not it won't be til Monday.

Totally understand the tired I can only sleep about 5-6 hours at night, then want to nap all day starting after I've only been awake a few hours! That is kind of hard to do when you know, have a job. LOL. Also been having crazy food cravings. No morning sickness yet, but I have moments of queasy so I'm enjoying my cravings while I can still eat. Glad you are doing well. When is your next appt?

my next appt is the day after yours lol it is just a family history appt and hopefully hearing a heartbeat.they say it should be easy since im "thin" ha i laughed because i am not thin, im a little chunky lol but hey compliment taken. im taking my mom though because last time i went solo and then that next week we found out we lost the LO. so i am never going solo to another appt not because im trying to like "oh if i do this nothing will happen" ya know? i just want my momma there this time around to share the appt with me


i am the complete opposite with the sleep thing, i can sleep allll night but still be tired during the day. i was convinced i was having twins or something because i was so tired and so super nauseous ha my food craving are all salty & sweet things, give me chocolate and chips and im golden.

My labs came back and my HCG is great (49,500) but my progesterone was 19 a few days before I missed AF when I got it tested last, and now it's dropped to 11.5 so I'm starting progesterone today and getting it rechecked Wednesday. Not sure exactly what that means, the nurse said sometimes it changes so they do supplements. God I'm so scared.

 

[xobabyhopes]

praying for you girl, im sure everything will be ok.

 

[xobabyhopes]

hey mackjess, hope everything is going ok with you,hubby and baby. havent heard from ya in a while.

My appt went well. Measured at 7weeks 2 days, and heartbeat was 172. I think I'll still be pretty nervous until my first sono after 12 weeks tho.


How are you feeling?

 

[xobabyhopes]

Hi there! Sorry to be MIA, but man the holidays wore me out. Things still seem to be trucking along with the bean. Got to hear the heartbeat at my appt last week, and getting my NT scan next Thurs at 12+2. I can't wait to see my baby again. I think it's starting to sink in this is going to happen, because I've started to think about things more after the baby. Like picking out a daycare, then crying when I think about handing my baby to a stranger. LOL, oh to be a hormonal mess.

Hope you had wonderful holidays and that MS is easing up on you.
