Glad all is going well for those of you ladies with bumps growing. Sorry for the recent losses.
We've had two donations this cycle. First set of +opk was Wednesday, with donation on Thursday. Then OPKs went + again last night so had another donation today.
Temp drop today so it might be happening...

Fingers crossed Laura!

Great update Taz!

Wishing and cutie so glad things are going well!

I'm in the 2ww. Trying to "manage expectations" but it's hard lol. You know what it's like every second minute you can't help but think about it.

 

[cutieq]

Definitely know the feeling Lynny. Happy TWW!

Taz, glad to hear your update

Sporty, excited for you to announce tomorrow! I'm sure it'll be a great scan happy 13 weeks!

We announced yesterday. Baby is not quite where I'd have liked but seems to be doing well nonetheless and we had to tell people sometime, it's getting a bit harder to make excuses about stuff Mostly the announcements had to be by text or facebook, so it was nice to be able to tell some people at work face to face!!

 

[cutieq]

I bet announcing is such a relief!

I'm next up for the scan I think! Things seem to be going really well symtpom wise. Almost too well but tomorrow I will know for sure!

Hey ladies, I hope you are all well.

Baby finally cooperated for the scan on Thursday so we could have the measurement done. Heart beating, baby measuring correct for our dates but NT measurement higher than they would like. Got blood test results yesterday and we are in a high category so we have to go to the hospital on Monday to see the screening team and maybe have some more tests.

I have been so upset this is not the news we expected. After the miscarriages I thought we had been through enough.
Am feeling better today and being positive, just got to wait and see what Monday brings.

 

[cutieq]

Sorry things aren't where you expected sporty. I know that has to be stressful. Does the doctor have any perspective or guidance what may be going on? I pray it's nothing serious.

 

[laurac1988]

Fingers crossed sporty. Our God daughter had a very high NT measurement and is totally fine xxx

 

[Bug222]

Fingers crossed everything turns out ok sporty xxx

 

[kwynia]

Fingers crossed for you, the waiting must be so difficult. It always pains me when one of my ladies gets news like this.

 

[Squig34]

Sporty I'm behind with this thread - sorry to hear of shock news, what did the doctor say on Monday?

 

[sportysgirl]

Saw specialist midwife of Monday who ran through the next options, CVS, Amnio or harmony blood test. We can't have Amnio until 15 weeks and CVS is only up to 15 weeks. Amnio and CVS Both carry a miscarriage risk. Blood test is non invasive and can be done anytime. It is not covered on the NHS.

Looking like we will go for the blood test.

 

[Squig34]

I don't think I would want to risk anything with a mc risk either, no matter how small. When will you get the blood test? I hope all is well & it puts your mind at ease. I wasn't offered the NT test at booking, & no-one has ever mentioned it. I don't know whether to ask - we would still keep the baby but it would be nice to know in advance to be prepared (this is the Down's test, right?) A worrying time for you, not knowing what's happening

 

[cutieq]

Glad this thread resurfaced. I get so lost in journals, I forgot about this one. Sporty, I hope you get nothing but good news. Sounds like the blood test is the way I would go too.

Has anyone heard from Tui?

 

[Bug222]

haven't heard anything from Tui I hope she is coping ok

glad you are able to get the bloodwork done Sporty!

 

[Fezzle]

Good luck, sporty. I've also seen people get high risk results but then their baby is absolutely fine. I don't blame you for keeping things as non-invasive as possible!

 

[Squig34]

No, nothing from Tui here either.

 

[confuzion]

Yeah definitely worried about tui. Her avatar and sig are gone too, I hope she hasn't left for good

Good luck sporty! We will probably get that blood test as well because of our history with chromosomal issues. Risk of CVS and amnio is too scary for me!

 

[Lynny77]

Thinking of you Sporty!!! Praying all goes well!

Worried about Tui as well. I hope she's just taking a break and will be back soon.

 

[Fezzle]

I'm back to TTC! AF finally showed up in all her glory yesterday, and I just took my first Clomid pill (50mg)!

I thought that seeing the red blood and having the cramps would bring back recent memories of the mc, but to be honest, I am just so glad she showed up (especially that she showed up on her own), it's just been a relief!
