yes all is well.. they measured at 7wks and 7wks+1 and I am 7wks+1 based on LMP and ovulation. Just had bloodwork done Friday so I don't really know how any of that is, but just from the scan everything looks good. Here are my scans

WOW! That's so exciting! Congratulations!

 

[LadyL]

Twice the fun! Congrats Tobaira!! My friend is pregnant with twins and she says they only go to 36 weeks, so you can move your due date way up!!

Hope everyone is doing well! Two more weeks before I get my scan and I am getting so impatient!!

 

[lilrojo]

How is everyone?
I started bleeding yesterday, and last night it got heavy with some small clots. I called in sick to work and saw the doctor. Everything is fine (amazingly) but we don't know 100% where this bleeding is coming from. It's possible it's from my friable cervix, but I also worry it is hormonal and I am going to end up miscarrying. Grrr I can't wait til this 9 months is over!! I always thought I was going to enjoy my pregnancy so much and i really am not!!! Hope all of you are having a less stressful time!!!

 

[LadyL]

Stranjegirl, so sorry you have had to go through so much during your pregnancy and glad to know everything is ok! I am sure it has to do with your cervix as you said, and you are already past the 12 week "scary" mark, so I'm sure all will work out fine for you!! Hopefully, you can get some answers about where the bleeding is coming from.

After seeing what you had to go through today, I feel bad about how I've been feeling. I had a major breakdown earlier today. I have convinced myself that I have miscarried this baby and won't know it until my scan in two weeks. And what is so stupid, is that I have no reason to feel this way. I have had no serious cramping, or bleeding/spotting. The only thing that worries me is that I really don't have any symptoms. I was having some sore boobs, but even that's gone now. The few waves of nausea I was having are gone. But they never were bad to begin with. I keep trying to tell myself that maybe I'm just lucky and won't be really sick, but I just have this feeling that something bad is going to happen. It is so not fair that by the time I have my first appt/scan, I will have known I'm pregnant for 6 weeks!! I just don't think they should make you have to wait so long for something so important!! They say the first trimester is the most crucial, and I will be almost done with the first trimester by the time I go!!

Sorry for the rant. I have been way too emotional today!! Hope everyone else is feeling better than I am!

I totally understand how you feel. I started scans at 3+6 and was still freaked out every time I went (even before I started bleeding) I can't believe they make you wait that long. I would have died!!! How long have your pregnancy symptoms been gone for? I know they can come and go. My nausea would go away for a few days and then come back. Do you have any other symptoms? Fatigue, constipation, bloated, food cravings? My sister never got anything with either of her pregnancies...she said she felt better than ever. SOme are just lucky, but not so great when you don't have an early scan to confirm that you are one of the lucky ones with no symptoms! Just keep in mind that missed miscarriages are much more rare than regular ones where you see bleeding, so hang in there and stay positive!!!

 

[LadyL]

I have really not had any other symptoms really. But the sore boobs and slight nausea went away yesterday. Normally, I would have had my first appt this week but my Dr. is only seeing her further along pregnant ladies this week because she will be out of town all next week. So I kinda got screwed bc of that. My mom said she doesn't remember being very sick when she was pregnant with me, and even when she was, it was later on in the pregnancy, from what she can remember. I know I am just being super paranoid. I think being a nurse and in the healthcare field, I always see the bad things that happen to people so it's hard not to think that way.

I do have to work the night shift tonight and I'm gonna call up to labor and delivery and see if they have an ultrasound tech working tonight, and if they do, I'm gonna see if she'll do one for me. When one of my coworker's was preg, we were able to do that for her at night. So I'm hoping I can do that, and it will give me piece of mind.

So sorry you've been bleeding again Strangegirl, but glad that the scan went well and showed baby was ok.

I've always sympathised and thought it was awful, but guess I never fully understood how you felt until now, I've started spotting brown blood over the past couple of hours which has scared me to death. I know brown is better than red, but not sure if I should be contacting anyone, or waiting it out to see if it stops or gets worse...

 

[StranjeGirl]

ladyL- That is a great idea! Try to get in and get a scan tonight. I wouldn't worry too much about your symptoms as it's only been a day. Mine come and go all the time. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Dreamer- so sorry you are going through that. I know how scary it is. When is you dr's appt again? It's always good to check with a doctor, but try not to panic while you wait, as spotting can be very normal. Do you still have pregnancy symptoms? That was the first question my doctor would always ask when I was spotting/bleeding. He said most women who are bleeding but have have preg symptoms turn out ok. I hope it clears up for you right away!!

Hi girls, I'm so sorry to hear that some of you are going stressful times right now. But...I wanted to see if I could join you as a recent grad from the CBFM Statistics thread?!! Just got my BFP today, at 11 DPO, after forcing DH to endure an SA (we still don't have the results) and going to an FS myself (and declaring there MUST be some sort of problem). Anyway, would love to join you girls, if you're up for a newby!

Yay!!!!! Congrats!!!!! So happy to see so many filtering over here. Happy and Healthy 9 months!!!

 

[workingttc]

Thank you! So sorry to hear about your recent spotting. I'm glad the doctor found everything to be ok, and I hope you can figure out the cause soon so you won't have to worry any more! From the sound of it, being pregnant is much more anxiety-inducting than the TTC process (which I almost didn't think was possible!)

 

[LadyL]

Yay! Congrats workingttc!

So it was a no go on the u/s. The tech was there and I had her convinced to do one. But then an l & d nurse told us no bc if we didn't see or hear a hb, I could sue and the hospital could be held liable!! Ugh! I am so frustrated! I can't stop crying. I have to run to the bathroom every fifteen minutes to fix my makeup. I know my coworkers think I am a lunatic bc they don't know. I dont know why I have these feelings!! I don't know if anyone can stand to be around me the next two weeks if I don't straighten up and come back to my senses!!

Oh No! That is awful that they wont do it for you
Remember that being emotional is a pregnancy symptom!!!

well my bbs don't feel as sore over these past couple of days. i don't know. woke up hoping it had stopped but just been to the toilet and had quite a bit more brown blood/discharge into the toilet. TMI but its how I'd usually start my period.

think i'll book an app with my GP today to get it checked out

 

[_dreamer_]

congrats workingttc

lovely to see you here.

ladyl i'm so sorry they wouldnt give you an u/s that seems like a poor excuse. try keep your chin up hun and hold in there x

 

[LadyL]

Good luck today dreamer!! I'm sure all is well! Keep us updated.

 

[trixie79]

congrats workingttc thats great news, im so happy for you...x

im so sorry everyone is having a hard tome....dreamer go get checked out..

ladyl i dont know if they have early preg clinics in the states but you should go to the doc and ask for an early scan...

im going to the midwife this morning as i have really smelly discharge!! so im afraid i have an infection, and thats what happened last time.......

i have another 2 weeks till i start my antibiotic!

 

[workingttc]

Dreamer, I hope you can get checked out today. As you know, lots of women have brown spotting. But I'm sure it's nerve-wracking!! FX'd you can get an appointment today and some peace of mind, and all is ok!!

LadyL, that is terrible about the u/s. How incredibly frustrating!

Trixie, I hope you don't have an infection!

Thank you girls for being so welcoming. I'm excited, but at this point just want to make it past the day AF is due (Sunday/Monday)! Had some cramping during the night which of course freaked me out - I just know I am going to be a nervous wreck this whole time! Thank goodness for this site!

I hope everything is ok. I had the same thing and I'm still here. I thought I was starting my period so many times due to brown discharge. THen I bled and went to the doctor and told him I started my period. Both doctors I saw told me brown spotting can be very normal in early pregnancy. Of course it is best ot get it checked out, but try not to panic until you see the doctor! I hope everything looks perfect when you go!
