hormone crash after ERPC

[Blu10]

Thank you fit and bernie, it still hasnt really sunk in yet as I was prepared for the worst after last week. Couldnt be happier though.... although im not sure my new boss will feel the same!!! Whoooops!!! X

 

[bernie86]

haha blu, I think your new boss will just have to get over it! It's amazing how calm you can feel after seeing your little baby heart beat on the screen! Im glad the week has turned around, and now you can enjoy the weekend

 

[Blu10]

Haha Bernie, that made me giggle! I guess she will, I better prove myself in the 5 months I am there x

 

[bernie86]

you will impress them! so I just bought myself a fetal Doppler. Im excited to try it but it makes me feel a little crazy that I want to check in with this kid so much! lol have any of you ever had one?

 

[Blu10]

I havent and not sure I would as id go bloody stir crazy if I couldnt find the heartbeat. Have you used it yet?x

 

[bernie86]

It hasnt come yet, it will be here next week... I think Ill wait to try it until Im 12 weeks along, but I have a friend whos 3 weeks ahead of me that I think would be good to test on because shes going for a scan tmw so we will know all is well and if it doesn't work for her we will just send it back! I dont want it to make me nuts either... Ill let you know how it goes

Yay!! Congratulations Blu!! Soo happy to see this from you! Busy day, want to write more. Just thrilled for you and your hubby!!!

Hope you are feeling good, Bernie and Fit! Jaspie- wishing you the most wonderful holiday ever! Enjoy! I will live vicariously through you!

Blu- congrats again!! I have friends who have friends who had bleeding through the first 6 months of pregnancy on and off.
Just so thrilled for you. ENJOY!

 

[Blu10]

Thank you Hopie, it was lovely to see! We just need to get you back on the wagon now 😉
Hope your mum is ok xx

 

[hopie2015]

So wonderful Blu..am just thrilled for you. All 3 of you guys on here!

My mom is doing alright.. With her now. Today is Mother's Day. Feeling incredibly sad. You just never know in life.. I remember last year we took her to nicest place she always wanted to go to in NYCity.. thinking my mom was getting older and need to treat her..Never thought one year later we would be here. But so glad we had that day out last year and will bring Mother's Day to her here today.
Thanks so much for asking. Feeling especially sad today...Think everything has just caught up with me. Enjoy your Sunday and take good care. xx

 

[Blu10]

Hey Hopie, Im sorry youre feeling sad, I didnt know today was mothers day in the US. I hope you manage to have some quality time with your mum and hopefully by next mothers day you may have or be expecting a little bundle too fingers crossed.
Our parents are such a blessing arent they. Big hugs babe xx

Sorry you're feeling sad Hopie. You have been through so much and have stayed so strong but you're human and bound to have days where everything just hits you. I hope tomorrow is a happier day and that, like Blu said, next Mother's Day you, your mom and your future little one are celebrating somewhere great.

Jaspie I hope you're having an amazing holiday and I can't wait to hear about it when you're back!

So so thrilled for you Blu, when I read your news while on the bus I was blinking back (happy!) tears.

So glad your scan went well too Bernie. We rented a doppler for my last pregnancy - I think we got it at about 10.5 weeks and we found Baby's heartbeat in about ten minutes the first time and very quickly every time after. Of course we now know that my amniotic fluid was low because Baby couldn't release his urine, so perhaps that's why he was so easy to find and it may be more difficult normally. If you find it stresses you more than anything you can always return it, but if the doppler is high quality you should be able to find your little one even if it takes a bit of time. That's great that you're finding out if you're team blue or pink soon! If we make it that far we'll definitely be shelling out for the Panorama test as well.

I had my blood hcg levels checked and so far so good - 4278 on Thursday at 12:40 PM, 9727 today at 8:50 AM. It is my birthday today, so that was a wonderful gift.

Sorry you're feeling sad hopie, as fit says you've been through, and are still going through so much, i think you're really strong. I'm glad you spent mother's day with your mum, things can change so much in a year it's important we make the most of today

Fit I'm so happy for you that your numbers are doubling perfectly! I'm sure everything will be just wonderful this time. Re the doppler I'm torn, I'd love some reassurance but if I couldn't find it I'd be stressing so so much i wouldn't be able to think about anything else.

Having a wonderful holiday thanks! It's beautiful sunshine, weather in the 30s and a hotel that does an amazing breakfast! What's not to like?! Having a lovely time with my lovely OH

 

[Blu10]

Happy birthday fit! Hope you have a wonderful day hunni, your HCG sounds fab, are you feeling ok? We were so happy in fri, thanks for your well wishes.
Hopie I hope you feel better today hunni??
Jaspie make the most of the weather and enjoy your holiday!! 🍸🍹🍨🍓🌞
Bernie any news on team blue or pink yet? So excited to find out hehe.
As for me i worked all weekend and felt knackered and sick most of saturday. Sunday was a little better but im still not going to complain xx

 

[bernie86]

Hope you had a great birthday fit!!! Hopie- I hope you enjoyed your mothers day with your Mom! These things make you enjoy the time much more! I got to spend the day with my Mom, she wasnt feeling too well from her treatments so we just all relaxed together. we finally got to announce to the family yesterday! and my inlaws on Saturday! it feels nice to not have to keep our little miracle a secret anymore!!! no news on team blue or Pink yet... but Im still feeling Boy!!! Hubby and I decided when the Dr. calls with the results that Im going to ask him to write boy or girl on paper and put it in an envelope so I can pick it up and drop it off at a cupcake shop so we can have blue or pink filling and find out together!

 

[Blu10]

Oh Bernie I totally love the cupcake idea thats amazing!! I hear of alot of people doing that in the US at baby showers. Im glad you have announced now, I bet the family are over the moon for you both 😃
Ive thought about asking the sonographer to write the gender down for us and put in an envelope for DS to open as we wont be allowed to take him to the scan so i thought it would be lovely for us to all find out togther x

 

[hopie2015]

Happy belated birthday, Fit!! Wishing you all the best of everything this year..what will be a very special year for you! How are feeling? Betas sound perfect. Yay!!
Bernie - such an adorable idea with a cupcake. I bet you and your mom's feeling is right with a boy..can't wait to hear!! How is your mom feeling this week?
Jaspie- sounds AMAZING there. So glad you guys are having a terrific time.
Blu- how are you feeling this week?

Thank you guys so much for all your advice and support.. sorry I was quite the downer the other day! I'll stay hopeful for my mom.. She has been through so much and has fought the complications, and wants to make it so badly! She is doing physical therapy now!! I was concerned about her latest x-ray results, but OH keeps telling me it is not that bad, and not to worry. My dad is a mental mess...getting him to see a new doctor.

And so this is life sometimes. Just plain shitty!! But all your encouragement whenever I sign on helps me a ton.. and I have a great fiance and life really is good and will get better some day. I just hate seeing anyone suffer.

Thanks friends. Looking forward to your updates!

 

[bernie86]

Hopie- you sound really good today! sounds like things are still improving! I'm hoping this tough time passes quickly.

We are still waiting on the Dr. to call with the progenity results! He said probably Monday and its Wednesday so I'm growing impatient now lol. So I decided to give my new fetal doppler a try and after quite a few times only getting my heart rate in my abdomen I finally found the little peanuts! once you find it you know the difference, It Beats so fast! I recorded it on my iphone so I can leave the little nugget alone for a while... If anyone tries it, Id probably wait til 12 or 13 weeks because im sure it gets a little easier once they are higher up. Hope the week is going well for everyone!!!

 

[Blu10]

Yay Bernie, in so pleased you found it. Tell your doctor to sort it out, im really anxious for you so lord knows how you feel haha. Cant wait to hear if youre blue or pink!! Ive got my follow up scan at work today will let you all know how it goes later xx

 

[Blu10]

Scan done, pudding is perfect! Cant attach pic will try again later. Due date 27th december xx

 

[jaspie]

Woop woop blu!!! So pleased for you! How many weeks are you now?

Happy belated birthday fit! Hope you had a lovely day

Hopie glad to hear everything is still going well! Loving your positivity

Bernie i wish your doctor would hurry up already!! Love the cupcake idea!
