January Snowdrops 2016: 58 BFPs and counting (12 boys / 8 girls / 4 surprises)!

Frustrated – hope all is well. I will keep everything crossed for you.

Since we are posting intros, my name is Farrah. I will be 35 in 2 days and my DH is 44. We live in Vancouver, Canada. This is my second pregnancy (first baby was lost during my 14th week due to a rare and fatal genetic condition) so I’m praying that I get to bring a healthy baby home this time.

So an update on my Clearblue Digital Weeks Estimator drama: yesterday at 5 w 2 d I got the bleeping 2-3 again and called my midwife’s office, nearly in tears. The midwife was so so sweet – she told me those tests are by no means accurate and even if they were they can’t be relied upon to date a pregnancy because of the wide range of hcG levels (just like you ladies told me!), but if I wanted to know how things were progressing then she’d fax a requisition to the lab nearest to me so I could have my blood drawn. Got my first number yesterday evening, which was 4278 – so I don’t know why I didn’t get 3+ on the test. Of course wouldn’t you know it I did my last CB digital this morning and the 3+ finally popped up! I’m going for my second blood draw on Sunday so FX my numbers have gone up nicely.

Oh Lintu I am so sorry to hear your news. I really hope you have a speedy physical recovery. My thoughts are with you

 

[blessedmomma]

Lintu- so so sorry

 

[LockandKey]

lintu, I'm so sorry

Well I just announced on FB finally, and a part of me fears I just cursed myself as the last time I posted early, my pregnancy ended in a mc

 

[Mushymilkfor2]

Try not to think that way! I know it's so hard, but what will be, will be and is best to be happy in the moment then worried.

And again, I know it's hard. I've spent half the day worrying because my doctor never caked me with blood results. By the time my husband got home I was almost hysterical. Then he said, that I definitely would have heard back with bad news.

So sorry Lintu it seems unusual that they would have gone straight to surgery and not tried methotrexate first at under 6 weeks. I wish you a speedy recovery and a rainbow baby soon after you're ready to try again

Farrah glad your results via,e back so great. How strange you still weren't getting 3+ with those numbers.

Mushy I hope you get your results soon. You're definitely right that you would have heard if it was bad news so assume the best

 

[blessedmomma]

Mushy I hope you get your results first thing Monday morning!

Farrah my hcg from today was 1702 so I was gonna wait a few days and take my last one thinking surely it would show 3+. I feel it's such a waste of a test really. I know I'm pregnant and just waiting to take this stupid test. I may just take it and get it over with or find someone who wants it and give it to them.

Morning girls well I've got a clear blue being posted to me I'll do it when it comes it better be 3 + or ill cry lol. I had bad cramps last night I think it was wind tho and because I needed tje toilet lol still not getting a test line as dark as my Control line on my Internet. Cheapie which I'm worried about about but ino sosome of these cheap ones are rubbish I'm going to buy a different brand today x

 

[minimoocow]

Just popping back in and it's taken me ages to catch up with all the posts! Lovely getting to know you all!

Lintu - so sorry for your loss Look after yourself.

So to introduce myself I am 34 (will be 35 when baby is born) and we have been TTC since December 2011. Some of the ladies in my original TTC group have now had their second baby so I'm playing catch up! Met my DH in 2000 and got married in 2004 so a baby is long overdue

We conceived with the help of HCG injections and now I'm on progesterone suppositories. I was ok with the injections but hate these suppositories they seem to make me gassy and bloated with a dodgy stomach. Can't wait until baby takes over and I can come off them but at the minute they might be the only thing keeping me pregnant.

I thought once I was pregnant I might enjoy it but now I'm just worried about everything! Worried about mc, getting sick, baby being disabled. The list goes on. I told myself I would relax after 5 weeks as I've had 2 early MC and never got that far but now I'm nearly 6 weeks I'm still stressing! I have a scan next week so hopefully that will be ok but I'm sure after that I'll just worry about something else!

 

[donnarobinson]

Finally have a line as dark as control line on one test not quite as dark on another but I'm happynow lol x

 

[NDH]

Yay!

My lines aren't close to dark yet. My hcg is at the bottom of the range of normal so will take a while to get there...

 

[donnarobinson]

Aww they soon will be mine isn't quite as dark on the top one but is on the bottom one but that is the first one of those bottom ones I'vedone x
I've got bbelly cramps today

 

[lintu]

it was because of the size and also I had free fluid in my abdomen which apparently meant it was close to rupture

 

[lintu]

Would like to wish you all a very happy and healty 9 mths im off to enjoy my all inclusive bar on holiday in month xxxx

 

[donnarobinson]
