Hoping 3rd time lucky xx

[BeachChica]

Embo - praying for your on your next scan. I have never had a good scan either, all 3 were bad so I know all about being nervous. All you can do is hope for the best!!

Also, not sure if I asked you in another thread but did you order your pregnancy test with the week display online? I can't seem to find them at any store.

Rowan how are you feeling?

embo hon it may still all be ok - remember my first scan this pg didnt feel that positive as the baby was so small and the sonographer so grumpy - your baby still has chance to catch up x

would you go for a private scan if you couldnt bear the wait? we had to wait 2.5 weeks between our nhs scans so thats why we had one in the middle through babybond

Beach Im doing fine thanks hon - feel a bit in limbo now but thats my fault as I waited til my 3rd scan to call the mw - am awaiting the arrival of a doppler - hope it works from 10 weeks!! could be waiting a while for another scan so i think our savings may have to take a hit again for a private scan

how are you doing Beach?

Looking for positive thoughts!!! I have my first scan tomorrow at 10am. I had a bit of a freak out yesterday after a bit of spotting but I'm trying not to think about it today. I think I'm about 7 weeks but its hard to tell with my cycles. Hoping to see a riggly baby with strong hearbeat tomorrow!!!

 

[bubble27]

Good luck with your scan tomorrow, im sure eveything is fine xxx

 

[xallisonx]

Good luck canadianlady!!

Tomorrow morning I get the results of my 18 and 20 dpo beta hcg tests. I'm thinking good, high numbers! FX'ed!!

 

[Rowan75]

good luck canadian lady xx

 

[BeachChica]

Good luck CanadianLady!

Thanks Rowan - I am doing good. I am just getting anxious now to get to the specialist and start getting some test results back!! My appt is June 9th.

 

[CanadianLady]

Thanks for all your good thoughts. The scan went well but I'm having mixed feelings. I thought from the dates that I had positive tests I should be 7-7 1/2 weeks. They were having trouble seeing anything at first and I freaked out! They did an internal scan and found baby measuring 6w4d with a heartbeat!!! I'm so happy, but a bit scared because its not as far as I thought. Just hoping the next 6 weeks go quickly and we can see baby bouncing around at the 12 week scan.

 

[xallisonx]

I'm so glad your scan went well canadianlady! It's normal to have the dates be off a little bit. I think the margin of error when going in for a scan can be +/- 5 days. Nothing to worry about! Congrats

I got my hcg beta results this morning, they are as follows:

5/23 (14dpo): 77
5/25 (16dpo): 149
5/27 (18dpo): 262
5/29 (20dpo): 679

Dr. says it looks great! Numbers were a little slow at the start, but she thinks I might not be as far along as I thought. Looking back at the few times that we BD'd this month, I think I'm about 2 or 3 days behind what I originally thought. I go in for an early scan this coming Thursday!! So nervous, I don't we won't really see much of anything this early though.

 

[Embo78]

Wow Allison those numbers are fan-bloody-tastic !!!!

Canadianlady, I can understand your worries but seeing bubs with a strong heartbeat is great news. I'm surprised they're not giving you an extra scan before 12 weeks but they must be very happy with you

 

[Rowan75]

oo beach im nervous for you - will count down the days with you x

canadian lady and for a heartbeat - the dates theyve given are only a few days behind and it seems everyone I know who ahs had an early scan have been told the same - fingers crossed that your LO will catch up soon - would you have a private scan in between do you think? As Embo says they must be confident that everythings fine x

good numbers allison! How far along will you be on Thursday?

 

[xallisonx]

Thanks Rowan and Embo! I'm very excited!

I'll be between 5+0 and 5+4 (ish) on Thursday. I'm not entirely sure of the conception date.

 

[bubble27]

Canadianlady... dont worry about your scan dates, i went for a scan at 6weeks 5 days and they put me back 7 days which worried me too because i knew when i ovulated with me tracking it, but i went for a scan at 9weeks going by my original date and they put me forward 8days! So all is well.
xAllisonx - congrats on your hcg levels

Heres to a happy and healthy 9 months to us all xxx

 

[Embo78]

Bubble that is so good to hear. I'm hoping it's the same for me when I go for my scan on Monday. My symptoms are strong so I'm hoping baby embo is holding on tight and growing big and strong

 

[bubble27]

Im sure you will be fine Embo...the waiting is the hardest part, ive got my next scan on the 16th but i will be 13weeks by then...just want it too hurry up...lol.

Ive pretty much had a symptomless pregnancy which made me more nervous at first but my scan at 9 weeks was fab and it was a hugh milestone to me as ive never got past 7 weeks before.

I had waves of nausea between weeks 5 and 7 then not alot since, maybe tired on and off but thats it xxx

 

[Embo78]

You're right bubble. The waiting sucks ass!! But I'll be 7+6 at the next scan so bubs should be clear if everything's ok.

When you were put back a week, what did you see at your scan?

Numbers look brill honey xxx I hate the wait for numbers....I have everything crossed for you and I hope that you have a fantastic pregnancy xxx

Embo. the scan i had at 6 weeks 5 days we saw a 4mm fetal pole and a flickering heartbeat but they measured me at 5weeks 5 days, then when i had a scan at 9 weeks it was 2.42cm and we saw and heard the heartbeat at 177bpm and measured me 9 week 1 day, both were done with abdominal scan.

I think sometime its hard for the sonogropher to be able to get a proper measurement so early on xxx

 

[sham1]

Glad to hear all is going OK for you all. I'm still hanging in there too - now nearly 22 weeks. A friend of mine just lost her son at 28 weeks, feel for her so much and have offered her my support but don't want to be in her face too much

All the best for you all xx

 

[xallisonx]

Thanks guys! I go in for my early scan in one hour. I'm a little nervous and also sad because there's not much to see at 5+3. I've never seen more than a sac, so hopefully there will be a yolk sac there!

Embo- I'm counting the days until your next scan, I have a good feeling that you're going to come back with awesome news!

Sham- I can't imagine what your friend must be going through to lose her son at 28 weeks. One thing I've always been grateful for is that all my losses have been early.
