[AerisandAlex]

Woke up this AM and hubs got me a dozen orange/yellow roses..VERY PRETTY and a really sweet card him!

Awww that sounds like a great morning Powell!!


As for buying things... I learned my lesson lol, everything I bought for DD was too small as she grew big fast!! DS however, I bought everything too big! Even the preemie clothes were too loose for him! lol

Happy BIrthday Powell - hope it was the best yet!

Bought some maternity jeans today! Under bump ones but I think when bump gets bigger ill get some over bump ones. Also got a mat top and ill put that away until I grow into it

I have been enjoying wearing my new jumper too as it makes it look like I have a nice round bump already! Very tired now after my day out...also spent £113 on two new tyres for my car as they were a little bit illegal :/

How is everyone today?

 

[AerisandAlex]

Yay! I have 'kinda' good news! lol

I called my doctor today as soon as she opened to find out what the blood results are... well, she said they're 'inconclusive' which was a good sign

Apparently, my HCG levels barely changed at all within the 48 hour period (they went down but VERY slightly), which makes perfect sense considering how far I am. They're way up to 43,000 and staying there so I have so much hope right now that everything's okay now!

I have to go do some more blood work Wednesday morning and then I have a second ultrasound scheduled later in the afternoon, I can't wait! I hope this time our little bean decides to show itself My mother was giving me some hope too saying she just talked to a friend of her's and her daughter went through the exact same thing. They told her she had a blighted ovum and she came back in two weeks later and boom! A little bean with a heartbeat!

I'm just so happy right now, I know I shouldn't get my hopes up completely but I can't help but be happy right now

 

[JustFluffy]

That's great news! I hope that there is a little bean in there for you, I am anxious to hear your results!

 

[BDownmommie]

Such great news - so encouraging.

I had a friend who went through almost the same thing. She had bloods drawn and the doc was not 'hopefull' but then sent her for US. Friend went in all nervous, on the verge of tears, tech asked what was wrong - found that levels hadn't changed, etc. Tech turned the monitor - and boom - baby was there, with super healthy heartbeat.

I hope the same for you

[Starry Night]

Hi ladies.

This is bit of a selfish post but I had another scare and went to the ER on Sunday. My betas came back at 73 000 which seemed great for my dates and my cervix was closed and the bleeding stopped so I felt somewhat happy going into my scan today.

Well....the technician here was kind and showed me what she was doing as she was doing it. well, she let me watch. But she later did point out the baby to me. The baby IS there and it DOES have a heart beat. But....the dreaded BUT....it is measuring way, way behind. The baby was measuring only 6+4 weeks and its heart beat was only 99. I got my bfp on September 19 and had two early scans. I should be at least 8 weeks as of tomorrow. That is just way too off.

So I now feel like I know where this is all headed. However, since my baby is technically still alive it does feel wrong to completely give up on it. It's so tough to balance realism with hope.

Also, the scan results showed that I have a fairly large cyst on my left ovary and a possible sighting of a very small SCH but the doctor on call didn't say anything about those.

 

[Starry Night]

One thing I will say about the heart beat is this: the technician was having a hard time getting a proper measurement and made me hold my breath. But the first time she asked I wasn't given any warning so I was actually still kind of breathing. The first measurement was only 89 but when she tried again it was 110. So I guess the 99 was the average. I'm hoping my jiggling tummy interfered with the first measurement. I'd feel better about the 110 bpm.

 

[Jary]

FX'd for you starry! Are you going back for another scan soon?

AnA really hope your betas stay high and baby is ok just hiding!

 

[Hann12]

Starry well 110 sounds much better than 89, it doesn't sound like the sonographer was very experienced if they can't actually get the heartbeat right. I have heard from other girls that 110 can be normal for around the 6 week mark so if you are at that stage then it could be fine. You say you have a cyst, I have heard that they can give false bfp, maybe you got your positive from the cyst and then coincidentally fell pregnant? Is that possible? I have no idea just a theory to throw in! I hope it ends up with good news, the hcg is a great number though!

Afm - was up all night with DD, she wouldn't sleep, just screaming. It was awful. I feel terrible today. Both tired and sick. Sorry for the moan!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Starry: I'm glad to hear that you got to see baby and heartbeat I have no idea about measuring behind but I shall continue to keep my fingers crossed and remain positive for you xx
