Today's test was darker, so that was good to see. I made my first doctors appointment- the earliest they would see me is June 18. That seems so far away! I really hope this one sticks.

Mack, that is great about your shower. Sounds like you have some very generous family and friends. Hope you scan goes well and that there is nothing to be nervous about!

Congrats on 12 weeks Jane! That is amazing. Yay! Almost time for your next scan!

Glad your meds seem to be working Bobster. Is your belly growing with that mango in there?

How is Phez doing? Feeling ok?

Wow, just seen congratulations are in order. Brilliant news! Just little old me left, you are all inspiring. CD1 and ready to try. Stopped thinking about ttc and all the vitex,b6 etc and my lp was 12 days! Was checking temps sporadically..so just folic acid and pre natals for me now...
 
That's a great lp Phez! Looks like being more relaxed is helping, good for you.
 
Yay phez. Maybe by not having loads of pressure with temping etc that will help. Have you mentioned your lp to your Dr? What was it before the cyst? 12 is great though so fingers crossed this will be your month. I know it won't be long for you!
 
Mlm there's no reason for your Lo not to stick. Just remember having 2 mc's in a row is very unlikely and the shade of your test is really promising. My tests were much darker this time too as I didn't even have a hint of anything until 11dpo with mc and then it was a squinter. Try to stay calm and set little milestones. Can you pay for an early ultrasound to give you some earlier reassurance?
 
Ugh, I hate waiting for appointments, June 18th seems like ages away Mlm. I think seeing a progression on the tests will give you some reassurance. Like bobster, my bfp I lost, I never got any progression.

Hey mrs phez, great news on your LP. Will you SMEP or keep it relaxed? I've got a drawer full of vitex, herbs, aspirin, pre seed- all things I had tried over the last couple years but this time all I was taking was folic acid/pre natals- must have a clear out!

Good luck for your scan today mackjess :flower:
 
Yes good luck Mackjess, keep us posted as to how it goes and try not to be too nervous. Enjoy seeing Finn.

Talking of nerves though, I'm starting to get really anxious about my scan next wednesday. I just have this massive fear of them telling me somethings wrong with the baby. I was feeling exited before but now its just nerves..

How are you feeling about yours on Tuesday Jane? Have you told people about baby yet at work and things?
 
Thanks all! My LP was 9-10 days before, it may go back next month, but it's reassuring. Pedrhaps being older meant my cycles took longer to normailise after the mc in October? Gosh listen to me, I'm starting again....
I can't believe you're so far along Bobster and Jane, unreal. Bet it's gone slowly for you though!!
My cyst is still there, waiting for the letter to say when the lap will be....NHS takes soooooo long.
I'm gonna duck out again for a bit. Sorry I'm not being v supportive on here but it really is helping me. Stay strong mlm, keeping everything crossed for you. I'll be back!!!
Take care my lovelies x
 
thanks ladies. I actually slept pretty well last night and popped right up this morning excited to go see little man. I'm also excited my appointments will be every two weeks after this. can't believe I'm so close!
 
I can't believe it either! Its amazing and very exciting! I bet the scan is so detailed now.

Glad you slept well and are excited, let us know how you get on.
 
I'm glad you popped in again Phez! Take care... We will all be thinking of you.

Yay Mack! Glad you were excited. How is Finn today?

Thank you for this Bobster. I woke up this morning still not really feeling pregnant and it's made me a little nervous. My lines are nice and dark- I just don't feel the pulling/cramping in my uterus the way I did last time. I'm trying to remind myself that it is sooo early (4 weeks tomorrow only!) and also that maybe the pain I felt last time should have been indication that something was wrong and it's a good thing this time feels different.

The good news is I found a new doctor closer to my new house, and they see patients around 6 weeks, so I have a new appointment on June 12. Woo!
 
Hi ladies. Scan went well, Finn is measuring 2-3 weeks ahead still but the good news is that it leveled off. At 23 weeks he was spot on average, then at 27 weeks he was 3 weeks ahead! She wanted to make sure it wasn't continuing at that rate so it's a good thing I stayed at 3 weeks. My appts are every 2 weeks now, and growth scans every other appt. I told her as long as he stayed steady and didn't have another growth spurt I didn't want to go early. So she went ahead and scheduled an induction, or possible csection depending on size, for July 31st. Of course I'm hoping he decides to show up before then, my due date is July 23rd. It's nice to have an end date though, and that he'll only go to 41 weeks if he is stubborn.

So far he's still breech, and he was facing inside with his head tucked down and legs tucked in. No pictures today! They could barely get a leg measured, and pretty sure they couldn't get his arms at all to measure. They even jiggled my belly, but dude was SLEEPIN! He was kicking like crazy the hour before my appointment so he must have tired himself out. HR and all the organs were good, so the good news is they could see all that stuff really well since his back was facing the outside of my belly.
 
WOW I can't believe Finn is making his appearance so soon already. Crazy. Glad that everything looks good and you have a date now!

Right now I feel exhausted and like throwing up. Yay!! Haha.
 
Yey mlm, pleased you can get in to your new doctor a week earlier- will they do a scan do you think? yey for the nausea and tiredness :thumbup:

Great news about Finn mackjess, I hope he turns as the time gets closer. If he stays breech does that automatically mean you'll have a C-section?

Bobster, i'm not too nervous about the scan on tuesday- of course it's in the back of my mind about not finidng a heartbeat, large NT measurement etc but I do think I'm getting a little bump and there has been some stretching going on so feeling hopeful that everything is ok. I can understand your nerves for the 20 week scan though given the very nature of the scan and the level of detail. I will be thinking of you.

Yesterday I went shopping and got a few looser tops- not maternity ones as such (bump not that big yet) but just ones that are a little looser around the belly. It still hasn't sunk in yet but there are a few moments when I think bloody hell!

Best wishes Mrs phez, we will still be here for when you feel like popping back in.
 
Yes it is worrying but the stretching and bump are a good signs.

What will be will be so I guess we just have to try not to get too stressed out about it.

Glad scan went well Mack.

Glad you feel sick mlm, all great signs. Enjoy the weekend ladies
 
Just worried myself silly after reading a post in the first trimester board from a lady who got a NT measurement over 5 mm, bloods came back also abnormal and was told baby has a 1 in 2 chance of having downs (she is only 27).

So I was OK about my NT scan on Tuesday but now I'm not!
 
I hate reading stories like that. I'm sure the chances of that happening are small... Hope you're not worrying too much. I'm excited for you and Bobster both to have good scans in a couple of days! I'll think positive thoughts for you!
 
Thanks Mlm, yes you are right, chances are small. Got to keep it in perspective.

How is your nausea? Are your boobs more tender?

Loving the new doggy pic.
 
Hi everyone. Oh Jane I worried myself sick too. I was looking at the yolk sac thinking it looked far too big and reading that that was linked to abnormalities. As mlm says the chances are so slim. Even if there was a problem the stressing isn't going to stop it so try not to worry.

SHE SAYS!... I am silently crapping myself about wednesday. I think its because I've allowed myself to relax a bit after 12 week scan and get a bit excited. I feel I may have jinxed something. I hope not. What time is your scan tomorrow?

Mlm great news about your earlier appointment. Are you still testing or have you ran out now? I love that you've changed your status and picture! Fresh start for you now at a perfect time in your new house. Is hubby excited or is he being cautious? Don't worry about not having stretching, i think that usually comes later on. How is your nausea? Mine only started at 7 weeks so poor you. Hopefully yours will go a bit earlier to compensate!
