January 2018 babies - 43 BFPs!

[AnneSophie]

Hi everyone! Im 4w3d! And our little miracle is due on the 8th of January 2018 😍 Can't wait!
This is our first baby, conceived with a donor and at home AI.
Im so excited & terrified all at once! Im scared to lose the pregnancy how did any of you cope with the sheer anxiety in the first trimester?

Welcome AnneSophie,
I dont know i sway between excited and hopeful to nervous and believing every twinge or cramp is the end. But i guess at the end of the day its really out of our control so we just have sit and take the rollercoaster ride!

I think it gets easier after an ultrasound. It's hard to believe that something so amazing is going on inside of you, until you see it. At least that's how it was for me. Once I could hear a heartbeat and saw my first on the ultrasound at 8weeks, I felt more confident. It doesn't mean that I didn't still freak out over stuff, but maybe less so?

Welcome to all the newcomers.

Thank you so much j was so nervous logging in to check the results! By those numbers I found out when my hcg was 15! That is just crazy to me!

Hey new comers, welcome!

I woke up with nausea this morning, hopefully it will pass. Got my scan date through already?! It's automatically sent through when you make a MW appointment. It's all done electronically now, I had to sign up online and there's no middle man GP appointment either. MW next week, 12 scan in next month.

Hope everyone is well.

 

[AnneSophie]

Thanks everyone i booked an early scan for may 22nd, cant wait now!!

I'm so surprised that people are getting 6 week scans. Is that because you guys aren't in England?

Yeah im in Australia and my fertility specialist likes to make sure everything is as it should be.

I'm in the US and the standard here is an 8 week dating scan and/or 12 week scan, unless there is a previous history of issues, fertility specialists care or issues before that point.

The 8 week dating scan is used usually for women who don't know their cycles around here, but most people I know have gotten them anyways.

 

[pinkmonki]

I'm in the uk but I have a history of losses so I get extra scans.

Hi everyone. I'm tentatively joining as I've had light pink spotting for a few days. I would be due around the 13th Jan and got a positive digital on Tue. No symptoms apart from being mega tired since avoit 5dpo. So stressed about possibly chemical. This would be my second child.

 

[tgrich]

Welcome everyone

I get extra scans because I always get pregnant again before my cycle returns to normal after having a baby and my previous losses. I just booked mine my doc wanted it the week of the 15th but we are on vacation so we're not getting it until the 24th.

Its an option here (in Ireland) you pay for it privately. I booked it to give myself peace of mind, i think a lot of people do

 

[London Kiwi]

Hey Ladies, congrats to you all, hope you don't mind me joining!
I'm 4 weeks, 4 days - will be due Jan 8th.
I've also booked a 6-week scan myself. I'm just a bit paranoid as I have a family history of infertility and it took me blimmin ages to get this BFP! But finally I'm here, yay!

 

[Kelskiii]

I had a midwife appointment yesterday she just took general information & now I have to wait for my 8 week booking in appointment.

I asked for a 8 week scan before my appointment as I had a miscarriage in Feb at 6+4 i am struggling emotionally I think I would breakdown if they made me do a booking in before I knew if baby was ok.

So now I need to fight for a 8 week scan ... I will be starting that fight on Monday!! Wish me luck ... if they won't give me one I think we will just pay for one.

No sickness yet just hunger & big boobs x

Hi everyone! And congratulations on your pregnancys! Can I join you guys? My EDD is Jan 7th and my husband. I got pregnant via IUI on Easter and this will be our first after trying for almost 2 years!

I've been super nervous though because I got my bfp 11dpiui and my boobs have been so sore ever since then and I've been extremely crampy but for the past 2 days I've felt completely fine. I've heard symptoms come and go but it still worries me! My betas were good though. At 13dpiui it was 88, then 16dpiui is was 589! My first US isn't till 7 weeks so I'm not sure how I can stay sane till then! 😭

We are having a 6 week scan in a weeks time 12th May. We live in England but has to pay privately through a clinic for iui. Maybe that's why we get one? I have friends who got a 7 week scan through the nhs because they had fertility issues? Seems to be different rules all over. X
