Babyfeva I really hope the bleeding is nothing serious xx

 

[Katy78]

Sounds good, Woofie!

I know POAS is bad at this point but I just have to. I got two digis today and pee'ed on one after only an hour and a half hold. I got 2 - 3. Not exactly what I wanted to ease my mind but I guess it's still ok for 4+6. I'll use the other digi in a couple of days.

It's so hard not to pee on sticks! When I didn't get a call back yesterday from the doc I went to run errands and went to the grocery store. Pretty much got the shakes walking by the pregnancy tests with the little devil on my shoulder saying, "you know, you could get one and test and you'll feel so much better...come on, just one more..."

 

[babyfeva]

So today I went in for another scan because my brown spotting turned into red. It wasn't heavy but enough to wear a panty liner. They saw a heartbeat and baby did grow 2 days. However, you could see a big black blob under the gestational sac showing where the bleed is. They basically said it could go either way. I have another scan on June 25. Has anyone experienced this before. Is this a sub chorionic hematoma?

 

[MrsLemon]

Has anyone got any "keeping your mind off it" techniques...I find myself obsessing

 

[RaspberryK]

Baby feva it's very common and that's positive news xx

 

[MrsLemon]

30th July for me , will be getting private scan xx

 

[ShamzLovesKai]

MrsLemon.. I feel your pain.

I know my scan won't be until around the beginning of August too and still waiting to find out my booking in date. Both appt's should have come in the post today but didn't show so I reckon tomorrow.

I feel like I'm not doing anything. It won't feel real until I go to my booking in appt and scan. Everything seems so far away & it seems like time is going in slow motion!!

 

[ShamzLovesKai]

Got my booking in appt date and it isn't until the 18th July!! Feels sooooo far away! I'll be 9+3.

Have you all had your booking in appt or when is yours and how many weeks will you be?

Can't believe I have to wait another 4 weeks for my appt lol

Mines on Sunday 29th June xx

I've already had my confirmation appointment (US here--so maybe the same as 'booking in' lol not sure). I only went early because of the chemical I had in March. They already have all of my history since it hasn't been long since I was in there. So it was a very short appointment. Had bloodwork done. Then went back for another draw. I told them I didn't want to come back until I was 10 weeks. So hopefully going back July 15th for a scan.

Mrs.lemon - as far as keeping mind occupied techniques. I haven't mastered it. But I find I'm not excited at all this time around. I keep expecting the worst so it's easy to put it out of my mind for a while. At least until I come on BnB .

Finally the weather is nice, so we are going to be doing more outdoorsy stuff. Finally making use of the fact that we live on the water. Excited to enjoy my summer really and if the pregnancy works out then it's just a bonus .

 

[Woofie1015]

July sounds forever away (even though it's already the end of June)! I'm sorry ladies, I know the waiting is so tough.

I was really pretty excited yesterday after getting my test results back...then went back in this morning for the second draw and got anxious all over again. The first set of numbers may 'look great' but they mean nothing unless this second set shows the proper increases! So again I'm trying to prepare myself to hear good or bad news tomorrow, and remind myself that it could still go either way. Keeping everything crossed that I've got a sticky baby growing in there!

 

[laodicean]

I've just got my 17dpo blood results: bHCG 1078, progesterone 41. I'm so relieved! I know it means nothing long term, I can still miscarry, but at least at the moment it's doing well. That's all I can hope for, really...

 

[Woofie1015]

Those numbers look great laodicean! Good to hear!

 

[confuzion]

Those are amazing numbers laodicean! Congrats

 

[laodicean]

Thanks guys

Apart from on/off nausea, I've not really been getting any symptoms. It was starting to worry me, even though I know symptoms means nothing. But now I feel a little more confident about ringing the midwife tomorrow to arrange my booking appointment (it was only a couple of months ago that I had to cancel the last one )

Hate the waiting game. Feel like I got the two lines an age ago, and it was only a week! Just keeping my head down and trying not to think about it too much.

How're all you guys doing? This thread moves so fast! I swear it was only half the size a week ago when I first joined...

 

[confuzion]

Same here. Trying not to think about it. The past couple of weeks have gone by pretty quickly I think though.

No nausea at all for me really unless I eat too much then I just feel 'off' but not like 'oh my gosh get me to the toilet I'm going to hurl' or anything.

My breasts are gigantic. And they HURT. And I am so sleepy. Planning a nap as I type this .

 

[laodicean]

I get different symptoms at different times with all my pregnancies - only one of which has made it past 9wks. I think I remember with J getting really bad MS around 6wks - up until then it had just been random, vague nausea. But at 6wks, BAM say in front of the toilet ringing the doctor for anti-sickness medication so that I had a hope in hell's chance of making it into work.

This time had bad nausea (lie in bed, close eyes, pretend it's not happening kind) a day or two after BFP, then slightly milder nausea the next day, and then it's been fine since. Appetite's a bit off, but when I'm hungry, I'M HUNGRY, if you know what I mean.

Give it another week or two. I'm certain the MS will have caught up with me by then!
