Can I just say Preggie pops are saving my days

 

[Ethereal]

Got a letter through for my first US.

July 28th.

Seems so far away!

Brittrashel- good luck, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about!

Afm-Just went for my second blood test, tomorrow I will find out the levels, then off for an ultrasound on Wednesday.

 

[Quantea]

Getting worried yall. Hcg level was 95 on Friday at 17 dpo... Is that ok? I'm hoping they'll draw again to make sure levels are doubling.

I really hope it's just a late rising Leah... I googled it for you and I think you're still within range though. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I found this at the conceivingconcepts site (it won't let me post the url but you can google it too!)

DPO, 17. HCG level, 132 mIU/ml. Range: 17-429 mIU/ml.

Best of luck!!!! *hugs*

: going to pick up another FRER and do it in the morning.

I hope it goes ok in the morning. I feel so nervous, 4 weeks today and the intermittent dull ache in my pelvis/lower back is really bugging me.
Clear blue this morning said 1-2 weeks. Be glad when I'm back at work tomorrow and have the distraction x

I have been having on and off lower back pains too, especially on the right side. It never fails to worry me, so I try not to think too much about it either.

I have just booked my Panorama test. The clinic where I go said they have started to offer Panorama instead of Harmony cause it tests for a few extra things and the accuracy is higher. It's 99.9% for Down Syndrome. The results come back quicker too - 7 to 10 calendar days. I'm booked in for 1st August. I couldn't get in for 9 weeks because we're on holiday that week, so i'll be almost 11 weeks. I'll get a DVD of the scan though which is cool. I can show the kids.

NIBT wasn't available where I live until recently. But I have been looking it up and I found 2 labs that now take blood and send it to USA for the Panorama test! It costs a lot of money, but it's a huge weight off my chest. I was actually worried about the amnio issue. Now I just need to google them further and see which one has the better reviews

AFM, I went on the scales this morning and discovered I've actually lost 2.5 Kg since I found out I was pregnant! That's more than 5 pounds for the Brit ladies. Which seems a bit extreme? I'm not on a diet and I'm not throwing up or anything, but I'm disgusted by anything beyond fruits and greens most of the time. This morning I had to banish hubby out of the kitchen when he grabbed a slice of smoked turkey to snack on as the smell almost made me throw up. Still, I though I was eating properly! Could it just be water loss or something?

So naturally, now I'm worried that I need to eat better, but most things still disgust me. And my left over choices are really weird. Like, I just finished eating 4 slices of bread with mustard and have a craving for tomato soup, lol

Doctor called and she said I'm in the good zone! Getting rechecked today though

Telling people makes everything feel more real.
We told my Dad and his bf, and FI's Mom, Dad and sister today.
My Dad is extremely excited. He told me to hurry up and tell people so that he is able to tell people how happy he is. Even called it the "best Fathers Day ever".
FI's family were excited too, but didn't say a lot. I think they're just very surprised.

My Dad didn't even wait for me to tell everyone. He blurted out to my whole family that he was going to be a Grandpa again at my brother's graduation the day I told him. It's hard to get mad about it though because it's really sweet when they are that excited.

Hi

I am due on the 5th according to my LMP, but I have PCOS so I imagine that will change when I get my scan.

My nausea seems to be easing off, it was really bad last week though if my last pregnancy is anything to go by it will come back a vengeance soon. :doh:

Welcome! I've been following your threads about your sickness in the 1st tri forum. I'm glad it's finally easing up some!

Getting worried yall. Hcg level was 95 on Friday at 17 dpo... Is that ok? I'm hoping they'll draw again to make sure levels are doubling.

I've never had my levels checked. I don't know if it's just where I live but it doesn't seem to really be offered. Granted I never asked since I haven't ever had any pregnancy related issues that would warrant them doing it. From every thing that I've heard though, it isn't about the number you start at. It only matters that the number is doubling.

AFM, I am super nervous. DH and I have our second OB appointment in 5 hours and they will be doing another ultrasound to check for a heartbeat. I'm terrified they won't find a heartbeat. I have had such few symptoms. The only thing that has really been consistent is that my boobs are sore and have gotten massive. Very little morning sickness at all. Hormones are manageable. I don't have to pee that much (although I don't remember that part really kicking in with my son until closer to 9 or 10 weeks.) Fatigue is still pretty rough but I am the type of person that just loves to sleep so it's not that huge of a difference. So, I'm just praying that for whatever reason this is just an easy pregnancy and everything is perfect when we go in today. I have had no cramping (besides twinges and stretching pains) and no spotting whatsoever. So I'm just holding on to that.

My sx are about the same as yours, so fx we are both ok! My first appt is next week Tuesday; I'm hoping my OB will schedule me for an ultrasound soon!

Hcg came back at 188 at 13dpo. Am I right in thinking that's really good?

 

[BrittRashel]

Hi ladies, you can take me off the due date list for this month My BFP was a false positive, confirmed with beta test. Best of luck to you all!

I'm so sorry.

[Jaxvipe]

Brandi- my due date is 2/21/16

 

[FLArmyWife]

Tomorrow I have my follow up with the nurse practitioner. She'll have my labs done for testing and go over everything.
Then on July 6 I'll have another U/S. I'll be 9w 4d.

we've also finally set a date to have dinner with our families and tell them. July 13 (since we wont be moving back home until July 9) we'll have dinner with both our families. At dessert the waiter will bring dessert menus and taped on the inside will be a card, with an u/s pic, that says "you were looking for something sweet to eat, but what about something sweet to meet? Due February 4, 2016"

Sorry alikat x x x

Went to see my lovely GP today....she saw me last month about ttc issues and was referringmms for an ovary scan and new blood tests. She was well chuffed. I told her about my concern over having 2 chemicals although this one is defibatelu longer so was hopeful. Mentioned mild cramping but was a week or so ago.....she was so lovely,phoned our local hospital and got me a scan for Thursday this week. It's a llittle earlier than I wanted....we were going to pay private at 7weeks. I want to see heartbeat....likely??

GP said I didn't quite fit the criteria go early scan but she could see I was a little worried and needed reassurance

I had my first ultrasound at 6w 1d and got to see the heartbeat... so it is possible. GL FX

I have heard from 6 weeks on it is very likely to hear a heartbeat. So I would say your chances are good.

 

[BrittRashel]

Okay, I am going nuts. I have 55 minutes until I can leave work to go to my OB appointment. I cannot focus on my work anymore. I'm too anxious/nervous/excited.

Good luck hope all goes well! Will be looking out for an update 😄

 

[BrandiCanucks]

So sorry, alikat.

I was 5w5d by ovulation when I saw this one's heartbeat, but Squish was measuring ahead. I did see my last baby at 5w5d as well, so there's a good chance you'll see a heartbeat too!

Still waiting to hear from my family doctor on when my first OB appointment is. Really wish we could refer ourselves, not have to get a new referral for every pregnancy. Ugh!

[Feanorous]

I had to push for bloods and then he would only give me one form, he did however offer to give me a two week sick note going to pick up another FRER and do it in the morning.
