M2mr - yay so happy you saw your bean and it's heartbeat!!! Such a great feeling isn't it! :-D

Confuzion - my fingers are crossed that your results come back fine but I'm sure they will

Welcome misseyre!!!

 

[savvysaver]

swan, yep, I know those silly lines aren't going to keep me pregnant. I guess I am just so dang excited that I just keep testing. When I had my m/c the lines never really got darker so it really excites me that these are dark. I have been using a preseed applicator to get my progesterone pill way up there, it works good. I hope you had a good tour of the birthing center!

confuzion, glad you stopped spotting!! Fx'd for good beta results!

MommytomissR, so glad you had a great scan!

MissEyre, hi! Glad you joined us here.

AFM, not much new today. I was so tired I fell asleep while I was reading through the threads here! I woke up really nauseous, since I ate lunch right before I fell asleep. Feeling a bit better now.

Welcome to the new Ladies!!
Jbaby- congrats on a great scan

M2mr- yay for seeing the hb! So happy for both of you

Confuzion- so glad the spotting stopped!

Afm- had my scan. Not quite what I has hoped. There was a gestational sac and a good size yolk sac but no fetal pole. I should be 6w3d from LMP but don't know when I o'd as I haven't been charting. They want me to go back in a week. I'm thinking this could go either way. I might have o'd late? Sorry to be a bit of a downer but I was hoping to see a hb at this point. Oh well I will know for sure in a week. Sticky dust to all

Well, I'm making the decision to stop the progesterone. Very noticeable cramps have started tonight as well as dark red bleeding. It's not a lot of bleeding yet but is very noticeable when I wipe with clots and whatnot.

I have cried some, but at the same time I'm now rather focused on getting to the bottom of why I can never get past 6weeks. My last pregnancy I didn't mc until 10w2d but the baby never developed past 6w3d. Wishing you ladies nothing but the best.

I'll pop in from time to time once my heart has healed a bit to see how you're all getting along. Thank you for everything and I hope by the end of the year we've gotten this thing figured out so that we can keep our babies.

 

[confuzion]

eme that breaks my heart . I am so sorry. I hope you will be back carrying your rainbow soon.

marathongirl - I think you probably just ovulated late or you've got a slow grower. Some baies like to take their time. FX the next scan shows a big baby. It's personally why I'm waiting until later for a scan. Because I know I will worry unnecessarily if we don't see anything when it's most likely just too early.

 

[savvysaver]

Hugs eme, I hope you and your doctors are able to figure out what is going on and get you your rainbow baby soon.

Fx you just ovulated later and egg was a late implanter! That's good there was a yolk sac though :-D I'm sure you will see more in a week!

 

[Jbaby90]

I'm so sorry Eme xxxx sending hugs xxxx

 

[ShamzLovesKai]

I'm soo sorry Eme. I pray the doctors can help you come to a conclusion and you get the baby you deserve. Thinking of you xxx

 

[swanxxsong]

Savvy: Oh I understand completely! Seeing a progression is a blast! POAS is so dang addicting!

Marathongirl: From personal experience between myself and many of my close friends/relatives, the doctor's usage of LMP often differs from the actual O date (I've always O'd 4-5 days later than my doctor INSISTS I did, even when I have charts to prove it. Annoying!) So I would say there's a good chance you O'd later than they expected/you expected. I hope and pray that next week's ultrasound reveals far greater things for you! You're not being a downer! It's hard at this stage -- the early ultrasounds can be so frustrating because you want so badly to be reassured, but so much development occurs in such a short period of time, it's misleading sometimes too. Hopefully next week they'll be able to see a fetal pole and you can rest a little easier.

Eme, I am so, so sorry love. My heart aches for and with you right now. I wish there was something more I could do or say but I know nothing erases that pain. I will be thinking of you and praying that they're able to help you find the answers you're seeking. xoxo

Birth Center tour went well, decided it's definitely where I will go for delivery. I am relieved. However it was a strange mix of emotions being there - excitement over the planning process of delivering there and pleasure over finding a place that meets my needs AND wants, but also a huge, sickening fear in my stomach about losing this baby also. We've made so many plans so early this time, mostly due to the birth center filling up so quickly/having all the tests and such that I haven't had with previous pregnancies (or at least, didn't have until it was too late)... it feels like I should be a lot further than 4 weeks! But I'm not... and it both scares and worries me. I feel so positive about this pregnancy, but am afraid to get too attached too quickly even though I know that's impossible!

Between the pregnancy hormones and my history, my brain's just a hot mess... as I'm sure all of you understand. I'm just so grateful that BNB has offered me a haven in which I can bury myself, surrounded by others who get it since most of the people in my RL right now really have no clue.

ANYWAY. Sorry. Talk about being a downer! I just had to get that off my chest.

I better get some sleep, but am hoping you all have a great night and a good day tomorrow! Confuzion, will be thinking about you and your test results, praying for good ones!

 

[confuzion]

I'm glad you liked the birth center swan! Was waiting on your update! I'm definitely afraid of getting attached to this pregnancy. I definitely don't think I am at all yet. I was just talking to my husband today about it. Like I know I'm pregnant, but I just don't quite believe it will actually end in a baby. Might sound callous, but if we lost this one I would be more frustrated than sad.

Not sure when I will start accepting that it might be for real this time. Maybe when I start to feel movement. Time will tell. Right now I'm in this weird limbo between TTC and celebrating pregnancy. Not really doing either.

 

[babyfeva]

Hi ladies, so much to catch up on. Sorry if I miss anything/anyone.

Jbaby and Mommy2miss-congrats on wonderful scans!

Marathon, I'm so hopeful that you are going to see your baby next week. It's probably just a little too early still. Stay positive and hopeful.

Confuzion-can't wait to hear your update tomorrow!

Welcome to new ladies that I've missed. Congrats!!

As for me, my doctors office prescribed me progesterone pills (Prometrium) to take once at bedtime 200 mg because they said although my level is "safe" at 13.6 it has decreased from my last pregnancy. My last pregnancy was 29. something. However, I lost my last pregnancy at 9 weeks... :/ Also they've scheduled me for a scan on Monday, June 16 so I don't have to wait until June 25. I believe I'll be 7 weeks then so hopefully they see a heartbeat. I'm so nervous!

 

[Katy78]

eme, I'm so sorry. Take time to heal, pamper yourself, go on a vacation. And try to stay positive. There is a baby out there for you. Please stay in touch.

marathongirl, what size was your gestational sack? A fetus doesn't have to be seen before the sack reaches 22mm. A yolk sack is good news. All my crossables are crossed that you see your beany in a week.

I'm so glad it's Friday. I've been so tired all week. I don't remember being so tired when I was pregnant with my first. Maybe that's because I can't relax after coming home from work like I did last time. I am busy taking care of my son till he goes to sleep around 9pm. I don't mind at all, of course .

 

[ShamzLovesKai]

I know how you ladies feel about getting attached to this pregnancy. Just bought a digi test and so nervous to take it. Half of me is thinking if it's not a good result at least I know earlier rather than later but if it is a good result I know I will get more attached and scared to because anything could happen at any time.

Glad you liked the birthing centre Swan! X

 

[ShamzLovesKai]

I took the Clearblue Digi and got Pregnant - 3+

I'm soo happy right now. Didn't think it would say pregnant let alone 3+

No more testing now lol. I've got the answers I need x

 

[Katy78]

Amazing!
Are you sure you're only 4+3? Or maybe you're having twins?

 

[Jbaby90]

That's great :-D such a relief seeing 3+

 

[ShamzLovesKai]

Haha!! Twins /: lol

It is great seeing 3+. My last AF was May 14 and I ovulated CD13. Usually a 28 day cycle. That makes me 4+3 right? Confused now the test said 3+.

Really want an early scan but have to wait until the 23rd to see my doc to try and persuade him to refer me for one. It's only a week and couple days away but feels so far away x

 

[MrsLemon]

finally phone the doctors to say I`m pregnant and was told the midwife wont need to see me until 8 weeks :/

that feels like an age away

 

[Angelbaby_01]

I got my second beta results today. Went in last week Friday at 11dpo and got 34.5 and then second draw was Monday 14dpo and got 233.3.
