December 2013 Rainbow Babies

[Ducktales]

Hi all,
Can I join?
I finally got my BFP after ivf and icsi and am 4 weeks 5 days today with an edd of 27th dec 2013
I had one BFP before which ended in a blighted ovum and I am petrified
I have been reading through the posts and wanted to say how sorry I am for you hopeful. There is nothing more cruel than a mc and I found my blighted ovum devastating.
My 6 week 4 day ivf scan is on 7th may
Here in the uk they don't do beta blood tests so only have my darkening bfps to reassure me
Xxxx

It took nearly a week after my missed period before my BFP became really dark. I was just getting the faintest of lines which gradually got darker as the days passed. My doctors wouldn't even let me give them a urine sample to test until I was 6 weeks after my LMP. The UK sucks sometimes. Stay positive I had a scan today which measured baby at just over 5 weeks, I have another on 3rd May to see if there's a heartbeat. I am terrified all the time after my miscarriage, but I have a funny feeling this time that this is meant to be my baby. I hope HOPE HOPE I'm not wrong.

All my love and support honey

Thank you and likewise for your next scan
I got my BFP 4 days after a 5 day transfer (same as 9dpo) and has been getting darker and darker but also did this with my BO

Fingers crossed for everyone

I am so sorry for the losses that have just happened I am so glad that we are all here supporting each other, esp when we need it the most!
It is so good to see all the positive stuff being said! I think it helps crazy people like me have a little more hope haha.
I think I am finally done with the POAS phase! All they did was get darker so I am taking it as a good sign. I sadly don't go in to see my OB nurse until May 15, 8 weeks and not my OB for an u/s for 2-4 weeks after that! Ugh I just wanna see my baby already!!! Sigh... Hope all is well with everyone today... Sending hugs if you need them and even if you don't they are on their way too!

It's official. I now have a second December angel. I'm getting a follow-up scan next week "just in case" but this is so much like my last loss that I know it's over. I just hope my betas are going down so the drama doesn't draw out like it did last time. (last time a baby appeared but never grew past 6 weeks but yet stayed alive for 3 weeks with a heart beat under 100...gotta say it inherited my stubbornness).

I think this thread should be hopeful and happy so I'll bow out now. All the best to you ladies here! Congrats on your bfps and hope you each get your rainbows.

Starry, I can't tell you how sad I am to hear this. I wish you all the best and hope everything goes the best for you from here on out.

Starry - I so so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We are here to support you and help you through this. Big hugs to you xxx it's so cruel and unfair

Duck tales- my baby is an icsi ivf miracle too!! I just had my first scan on Tuesday and saw its beautiful heartbeat! My last cycle ended similar to yours with a yolk sac but no baby... It was devastating! I understand your fear but I have hope for us both!! Once you see that little bean on the scan it is so reassuring! But now I'm back to being petrified until the next scan I think this fear is pretty normal- so just trying to let it be and take this gift one day at a time!

Starry- big hugs, I am so sorry

I'm really sorry to hear your news Starry.. I remember getting some reassurance from you on my miscarriage thread back in November 2012. It SUCKS when bad things happen to good people. I'm sure you will get your rainbow soon.

I look at my miscarriage as just "not being my time" nowadays. It took a lot of time and pain for that acceptance to creep in though. Its a horrible and traumatic experience and I hope you have a good collection of close friends and family who can help you get through this.

Sending you all my love and support babe. Stay strong x

Starry you are in my prayers during this time hun.

I had my first appt and scan yesterday. From my LMP I should have been 7 weeks 1 day, but I looked to be just under 5 weeks with a sac visible. I'm not surprised I'm earlier than I thought, my cycles have been 40+ days since my mmc. I go back in two weeks and she said to try not to worry because things look good for almost 5 weeks. I'm hoping with everything in me we see a healthy heartbeat May 8th.

Sounds like your in the same boat as me honey.. ovulating later, so not as pregnant as LMP indicates.. its all about the waiting game. I should be 8 weeks today but baby measured just over 5 weeks yesterday.. have a scan on 3rd May.. The waiting game sucks.. Good luck for yours honey!

Aloha! This is my first after 2 m/c . We waited a few years to try again as we were devastated. I just got this bfp at 10 dpo, and it's a beautiful line, no squinting required ;-) I'm nervous but trying to maintain. At least this time it's darker than my other two and popped up 4 days earlier. I know nothing is certain, but that's a good start

 

[hope4rainbow]

Welcome!

Lawes1987- How far along were you when you got your bfp? I got mine 2 weeks and 2 days ago, so I'm confused how I could just barely be 5 weeks. I'm praying everything is okay, I know babies grow at their own pace, but the timing scares me.

 

[want2bemommy]

Aloha! I got it at 10 dpo, and I know the date of conception- so I am only 3 weeks 6 days such a fragile time lol
