Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[moter98]

Both bloodwork and NT scan came back negative for birth defects.

 

[mailcmm]

That's awesome berdc. So happy for you.

 

[mailcmm]

Ok so I am sitting down for the first time today. I am so exhausted. My sciatic pain is killing me right now and Tylenol isn't cutting it. But I got my house clean. And I mean clean. I need to call the maid service now to come in once a month for the big stuff. Daughter has a math competition tomorrow. That should be cool.

 

[mailcmm]

Ok so I am all caught up now.

Moter... Congrats on those crosshairs. Tww!!!!

Tv... Did the opk get positive yet?

Colta... How are you doing? Has the spotting stopped yet? Any change?

Twinkie... Are you still spotting? How much longer till the us.

Berdc... I already got you. Lol but I am still happy for you. Day after tomorrow... Can't wait for the walking dead to come back on.

Menb...are you sleeping? Lol how are you doing?

Afm... I am still in pain. Just trying not to think about it. Oh and my Doppler arrived. Found the hb. It was 149 and jumped to 154 for like 10 sec before it disappeared forever and it was hard to hear... Like it was far away. Lol told myself I wouldn't use the thing but once a day. Dh was so excited but was like where did it go? Lol he was so angry at me when it arrived. Lol totally didn't want to get one because he is already worried about my stress level. Now he keeps telling me to check one more time. I am hoping maybe in a week or two we will be able to find it easier and listen longer.

Well ladies... I am hoping to be asleep in the next 30 minutes so have a good night.

Still spotting... although it's more of a light AF sometimes. Still bright red... less clots, which is a bonus.
To be honest, I'm pretty down right now. I'm trying to be as positive as I can, but whenever I stand up to use the washroom I get a big gush... at this point I'm just wondering how a baby could possibly still be okay with all the bleeding I've done.

I have another ultrasound sometime this week, probably around Thursday/Friday, and as devastated as I'm going to be... I can't see how this isn't ectopic... I mean, I've bled so much over the past week and it hasn't been old blood... how could still there be a baby still in there? My hormone levels haven't dropped according to hpt's... so really, what else could it be?

I dunno, sorry to dampen everyone's good news with my crappy news... congrats Berd for getting great results.

 

[mailcmm]

Colta... There is one positive story for each sad one. Hang in there. When do the detect5 tests arrive? I don't think you are having another ectopic. Only based on I would think you would be in more pain. But what do I know? Why not call your dr on Monday and see if they will do another quant? Why drive yourself insane until Wednesday?

 

[television]

dont know y but still haven't O yet whats going on??

 

[Twinkie210]

So far the spotting has stopped. 9 days until my next U/S. I am still super tired and sick for most of the morning and evening. New problem is i can't poop! I switched prenatals since the kind I was famine had no iron in them, but I think I might switch back, to see if it helps. Lot of fruits and veggies for me today.

Colta, I am sorry about the bleeding I am hoping this isn't ectopic. I agree you should call your.Dr on Mon to see if they will do a quant sooner.

Mail, I have no idea how you do all you do! I hope your pain eases up.

I really hope there is a good explanation for this Colta and it's a happy one. Try to take it easy and distract yourself as much as possible to pass the time till your next u/s. Still praying here!

I o'd 2 or 3 days later than normal this cycle. Of the last 8 cycles, this is the latest I have o'd. So try not to be too concerned. Our bodies like to play tricks on us I think.

Oh my, did I have the same problem with DS! What helped me was eating LOTS of apples. I would eat 2-3 a day. If that wouldn't cut it I would take Colace. My handy little book from the Dr. said that was ok to take during pregnancy. I didn't know about this at the time, but Metamucil works wonders for that! I do believe that is approved to take during pregnancy and better for you than the Colace. I actually take it everyday so I don't need to worry about my fiber intake the rest of the day.

 

[Twinkie210]

Thanks Moter! I am trying to fix the problem by eating better, but good to know there is something I can take if that doesn't work. I had this problem with DS too, but it was not this early.

 

[mailcmm]

Well everyone. Found my baby's hb first try today. And was able to keep it. 135-140. What a wonderful sound. So excited. And glad I got the Doppler.

Isn't it crazy how that tiny little bean can wreak havoc on your system?

Oh wow! Yours read the actual bpm?! I didn't know you could get ones like that. Mine doesn't do that.
p.s. all that worrying and you found the heartbeat right away!

 

[mailcmm]

I know. Lol I had to show my mom and kids and we sat there listening. The baby was moving so I held real still and it would be there for 30 sec and then swim off and back. Positive it wasn't me because I find me at 91-96 bpm. The baby has been between 135 and 150 since it was busy doing the back stroke. Tomorrow I will record it. My Doppler is awesome. Sonoline b highly recommend.

Ooh, I might be buying another one when I get my bfp, lol!

Urgh!!! How freaking long can this go on?? I mean honestly... I've had bright red spotting/light af type bleeding for SIX days now!! And six days prior to that of pink/brown spotting...

I'm honestly at my wits end... I caved and called my OB (I have his emergency number) and he wouldn't even consider getting bloods or an u/s done until Wednesday... I'm so frustrated.
I've already did this once with my last pregnancy... I'm so sick of this purgatory, this complete and utter hell... I just want to know so I can move on with my life. I just don't understand why this has to happen twice? I'm only 22 years old and it feels like I was doomed before I started... I just want a family, I'm tired of people telling me things happen for a reason, or that I'm too young or that I have plenty of time... that means squat when all you've ever wanted is a family
I feel so broken and exhausted... I just want to know what's going on. If I still have a baby (where it's supposed to be... though that seems to be becoming a slimmer possibility every day) or if I don't anymore so I can get things taken care of and move on... I'm so tired of all this.

Oh colta! I'm so sorry you are having to go through this limbo hell. Why can't the dr at least give you bloodwork? Doesn't make sense to me. Are you able to find another dr right now?
