Forums New posts
Hey guys - it's been a while since I've been here, and I missed a whole lot of beautiful, supportive messages in response to my last post about spotting. Sorry and thank you!!

I decided not to come on here for a bit as on Friday (it's Tuesday here now - I think I'm ahead of most of you) I rang my doctor to find out the results of the blood test I had on the day I found out I was pregnant. She's a really good doctor, and has always called me in the past if something was not great with the test results, so when she didn't call me I assumed everthing was alright.

Well, she told me that my Hcg was 'extremely low' and asked if I even felt pregnant. I immediately felt like shit, thought 'Oh my God, this is it... I'm losing my baby again'. She told me to get another test done which I did the next day (no point rushing as there was nothing I could do anyway). So I had the blood test Saturday morning and was told the results would be in on Monday.

Saturday and Sunday I had a huge reduction in symptoms, and started spotting again (not for long though). My partner and I were so depressed :( It was an awful weekend.

Anyway, my doctor returned my call late yesterday and said my HCG was 7060 - perfect for a six week pregnancy. My progesterone was 88, and that test was done before I started on the progesterone pessaries. :happydance:

I have been feeling sick as a dog again, and loving it! I had this moment yesterday when I realised - maybe this baby will survive...!! What an awesome feeling! I'm still not going to hold my breath, but I have more hope now :thumbup:

I hope everyone else is going well. I think you all post when I'm asleep, and I post when you're asleep... Bit lonely!!
 
What fantastic news! I hope it all carries on going perfectly for you :happydance:
 
Thank you :)
Even better, someone brought in some work maternity pants for me today - a little early I know, but super exciting!! :happydance:
 
So the one symptom of sore bbs has now left.... :cry:
 
Great news SSJAD! Why do doctor's have to say stupid things to scare us---they really need a clue. You are probably sleeping now, well I'm stuck at work :( Hopefully you're having wild crazy preggo dreams :)
Ugg, it seems a lot of people say baby stopped growing at 6 weeks. Not that I want to talk about that part of our pregnancy, but did you guys miscarry naturally? I needed a D&C and that terrifies me that I'll need another.
Jamie don't worry!! That was me on Saturday! And some days they're really sore and others they're barely sore. Did you get queezy at all today or have you been eating enough? Each day I wake up closer to 6 weeks and when I'm still not sick I'm so disappointed. We're both at the almost 2 week mark until our scans----I know I'll worry until that. I actually get anxiety thinking about it, geez, I'm not much help for you girls! ugg lol
 
The reason lots of miscarriages happen at 6 weeks is because that's the point most embryos with chromosomal abnormalities are unable to continue past... But we won't go there. It's not gonna happen.
My sore boobs disappeared on Saturday too, then by Sunday night they were sore again, by Monday night I had gone up a cup size! And today they are suddenly not sore again. I had queasiness this morning, followed by an urge for baked potato, which made me feel really bloated and gassy and uncomfortable. I want my sore boobs back though.
 
Claire, everytime you mention a food I start craving it! I ate entire bag of salt and vinegar chips last night! hahaha!!!

Hope your sore bbs come back. Mine were completely fine until about 2 hours ago and they are killing me again! I can't take this up and down!
 
It's the up and down that got you into this situation, iykwim :winkwink:

My OH wants to get our scan done at six weeks, but we too lost our last when it was six weeks (although only found out about 10 weeks). For that very reason I want to wait until 7-8 weeks just to feel safer. Is it six weeks tomorrow for us?

And I've been wondering... :blush:
If we find on our dating scans that we're not due on Jan 3rd (like I think some of us will) - can we stay in this group?
 
Sigh. Spotting again. Bright red this time. I don't know if this bubby is EVER going to let me relax! I'll be going to the toilet every half an hour now :sad1:
 
Ok, so every time I go to the loo there's just a smear of bright blood. I'm not too concerned as long as it doesn't get heavier. Nothing I can do anyway!

Re cravings - OMG - I have put on a kg in 3 days... gonna be a heifer by the end!! Vine ripened tomatoes on parmesan and onion bread is my latest and strongest. Oh, I have to eat potato chips every day, but that's normal for me :winkwink:
 
I hope the spotting stops soon. It's stress you don't need. I think I have met you on another thread haven't I?
I think we must all stay on this thread as we all conceived at the same time regardless of how we measure.
Yuck, I seem to be having a no symptom day today. My boobs stopped hurting yesterday I wonder if it's because I changed to a bigger bra. They don't hurt as much when I don't have my bra on, but they usually feel tender when I wake up. Ugh, I hate this feeling.
 
Ssjad hope your spotting stops so u don't have to focus on it! Of course u don't have to leave if ur due date changes!!

Claire - I realized my bbs are same as urs where they gurt less when I have no bra on! Weird!
 
It's strange isn't it? I'm feeling a bit more pregnant now than I did this morning. Been having a few more cramps. They don't hurt it's just a dull crampy sensation. I really need an early night tonight.
 
SSJAD-if the spotting continues maybe you'd want to go in for a scan? I too want to wait till 7-8 weeks but if I start spotting I think I'll ask to go in before. Darn our bodies-need to behave themselves.
Claire def. if you have a bigger bra I think that would make your bbs less sore because they're not squished. No worries Hun (as I'm checking mine).
Felicity I think you asked if anybody had dreams of the baby's sex-well last night I dreamt I went for my scan and I was measuring closer to 8 weeks and she announced we're having a boy (I was pissed in the dream cuz we don't want to find out what we're having). Anyway the dream was awesome and now if it could just come true!!

hahaha!! I would be pissed too!!! I haven't had any pregnancy dreams... booo!!!! Weird though... before I got my BFP, i had a dream that my sis in law was preggo! hahahaha!

So, my hubby started asking me how we would decorate the nursery and now I have been on line looking at ideas and pictures hehehe... it's so much fun!!!
 
Jaime,
Me too! I know I want zoo themed, now just to pick one!
 
I am just like you! I would NOT be able to wait!!! Plus, I am gonna go nuts shopping and decorating once I find out the gender! Ahhhh that seems like it's miles away!! I am so impatient!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is everyone feeling today? I have sore bbs and a bit of heartburn, but that's about it
