July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[shelleylu]

Hiya Canda -

No, you are not alone in your worries, we are the worlds worst on here I think! lol - Do a test, do 20 - it all helps to make it seem a bit more real!!

Welcome, I will add you to our list x

Thanks for the support girls. Its been a weird old day. Im not overly worried, because I feel digsting, and my HCG was so high, and doesnt seem to be falling. Bit concerned about no HB and the cyst bit, but I know its early days. The Gynea lady I spoke to earlier so sooo negative though. She made me and oh feel weird. She said to me that I shouldnt be on my own at any point untill my scan , just incase there is an ectopic there and my tube ruptures, and she also said I should be prepared to M/C or not see a heartbeat when we go back - really lifted my spirits!!!

Luckily, I am quite a happy go lucky person, and have learnt not take things for granted. I have never had anything go right in the gynea department, so there's no need for it to start now!!

Niki - Im sure you'll be fine next week - what day are you going? How is your nausea today? Wonderful news about your aunt - I have tried to look it up (as you do) but couldnt find a lot of answers. At least if it is worst case senario, there are options. How big is your corpus luteum? The sonographer said cysts can grow quite large when you're pregnant...

im sorry hun, hopefully your little bean will be ok, hospital people can be scary and negative, i went for my scan yesterday, saw a heartbeat and bean had grown 4mm so was 6mm altogether but woman scanning me told me not to get too giddy as ive had bleeding!!! i wanted to say that that was 2 scans ago and everything seems to be ok, i think they just want us to be overly cautious, i was still giddy though!
Sickness has come back yesterday and today in full force! not actually being sick but feeling sick, tonic water and iced water is becoming my new best friend

 

[NikiJJones]

Shelley: not sure how big mine is. I'll ask for size at scan next week, all being well with baby. My scan is a week tomorrow. I'm already bricking it!! So scared there will be no baby or no heartbeat.
Nausea not half as bad today. Felt a little wobbly this morning, but it went as soon as I ate lunch. Boobies had some funny shooting pains again in the afternoon, but not tender at all anymore. I'm getting pretty paranoid as 6 weeks tomorrow, and just getting to the time where last PG went wrong.

28th July for me! We don't hear from the M/W for ages round here, and no scan until 16 weeks!

 

[NikiJJones]

Hi Becstar! Congrats on your !! I've been told it will be a long wait for the midwife too: nothing till about 11 weeks at the earliest! It must be a South-East thing! Awful that you have to wait for 16 weeks for a scan though!

28th July for me! We don't hear from the M/W for ages round here, and no scan until 16 weeks!

Congrats, I'll add you - bad news about your M/W - maybe you should train as one - you might be on a winner!!!

I had the weirdest nausea thing for a while just now. I felt fine one minute and the next I thought I was going to throw up in the middle of my Maths lesson! Was actually looking for somewhere to chuck. Then it went again as quickly as it came and now I'm fine again. Feel like I imagined it.

 

[geogem]

yay!! i feel fine again today so hopefully yesterdays iccyness was a one off!!

We dont see the midwife here til about 8 weeks and then scan between 10 and 12 weeks.

Shelley - I hope everything goes okay on Friday sweetie - probably/hopefully just a false alarm!!

still sleeping really dodgy and extremely tired!! Was horrible to DH last night too - I shouted at him and he told me to stop getting hormonal!!! So i then proceeded to shout even louder at him!!
Arent I horrible!!

Bless im!!

 

[lola]

Canda - You are not alone! I caved and have peed on 2 more FRER......I bought some as an emergency backup on top of the 2 I had left for Daisy, they were literally calling to me........ lines as dark as the control and I have definitely definitely decided to stop now!

Niki - spot on with the 12ww

Off work for the week because of sickness so sat watching daytime tv

Shellylu - I hope all is well, how are you feeling today?

 

[shelleylu]

Hi girls

Niki- Im sure we are body doubles?! I keep having these most bizarre episodes of nausea, then nothing - just like it was in my mind!!??!! How are you feeling today - apart from the random symptoms?

I did actually wake up feeling rather disgusting today, and it hasnt passed totally all day. I had this terrible hot flush in the middle of a science exam this morning!!

Thanks for the wishes girls. I am sure it'll be fine too. I am feeling quite positive about it all to be honest. Had some bad pains last night, but I think its because of all the proding and poking they done yesterday. Still, it meant I got to sit and read Mr Men books to William while OH done the washing up - so cant all be bad!

I am soooooooooo tired today. William came into my bed at half 4 this morning after having a bad dream, and I was too tired to move him back - but he kept me awake for pretty much the rest of the night

Im off to eat something - anyone else starving ALL the time??!!

[geogem]

no funnily enough I dont have much of an appetite!! I think that is a bit strange!!
Just massively thirsty!! cant get enough to drink!! dont know whats going on there but all I have wanted for past 3 days is water or milk!!
really really thirsty!!

 

[shelleylu]

I have been the same Gem.

Last time I drank so much I put on about a stone in around 3 months - most of it was water because when I m/c'd it fell off.

Think its just your bodies way of getting more fluid for the LO's. My new favourite drink is diet lemonade - and I never drink fizzy drinks?!

[NikiJJones]

I've also been really thirsty. Last night I drank loads and still didn't seem to be peeing, but today I've been plenty! I've had a weird one with my chamomile tea bags, where they smell like playdough, and have a really sickly smell. I'm sure they didn't used to smell so odd. It's the only smell which has really made me feel icky.

Shelley: apart from the 2 min nausea thing this morning and the tea bag funny smell I feel completely normal. Bbs have shrunk down to tiny again. Not sure why they were so bad a week ago. Most of the time I just simply do not feel at all pregnant, and I find this unnerving to be honest. Tomorrow I'm 6+1 and that's the age they reckon my last baby stopped developing.

 

[shelleylu]

Oh hun Im sure you'll be fine. This pregnancy is soooo different to both of the others. I have normally been really ill by now. Last time I was signed off work by 5 weeks. I have my fingers and toes crossed for us both. Only a week to wait and you'll be able to see your LO's HB and you'll feel much better

apart from these cramps and sore boobs ive have no at all,feeling a little sick but not been sick,gary said maybe ur guna b one of the lucky ones that dont get MS....:saywha : i wud feel better if i did ! LOL
nikki one wk till ur scan how exciting !! uknow last time u went they said u were approx 5wk? well wot day did u O on the mth u conceived? can u remember? cos this is y im going at 8/9wk cos i didnt O till cd16/18 and when im 8/9wk the baby will be just 7wk, and im hoping to see HB etc sure u be ok nikki,sure we all will,i didnt think i wud worry as much as i have,after mc i remember thinking once i get i be fine !! yeh right !

anyways will report bk soon,take care preggo ladies (i just dont feel preggo2day) take care

 

[NikiJJones]

I conceived either very late 22nd Oct or very early hours of 23rd Oct. So will be pretty much bang on 7 weeks at the scan. Kept thinking this evening "This time next week I'll know if my beanie's heart is beating!" Exciting and scary. Last time had a 7 week scan and no heartbeat, and LO had gone at about 6+1. So it is all a bit nerve-wracking to go through it again!
I'm feeling completely un-pregnant also since my mad 2 min nausea thing. Except I have a weird sensation which I can only describe as a knot in my stomach. Can't be baby doing it, but it feels odd. ?????

 

[merechick]

Nikki, I have a question for ya. Like you, I know exactly when I conceived, which was the 26th of October. Why am I being told that I'm only 3.5 weeks but you're 6 weeks? Is it b/c yours is being calculated from the first day of your last period and mine is being calculated from the date of conception? I'm so confused! Also, I'm not experiencing many symptoms all of a sudden and a bit worried, but guess it's normal.

Best wishes to all of you going for scans, hope all is well with your little beans

 

[KKSARAH]

Hi everyone, just been discharged from hospital lastnight after having pains and more bleeding( a little red blood this time) had internal examination on friday and Monday both doctors said that its closed but they say the blood is coming from that area, but there not concerned had a scan last friday when they told me the sac is not bigger enough and they think they saw a mass in my left tube saying they think i could be a ectopic then sent me upto the ward to see doctor who told that it does not look like an ectopic and thinks the sac is right for how far I am and to go back on friday for my HCG again.

But had this bleeding and stabbing pains on monday morning but was staying at OH parents house 2 hours away from my hospital, so had to go to the local A & E who sent me to the EPAU and they admitted me did another internal(getting quite used to theses now LOL) and did my bloods which came back at 5120, on Friday they were 1910

yesterday they did a normal scan and an internal scan they found the sac which has doubled in size since Friday which also contains the yolk sac. they have booked me in for another scan on the 2nd December but they could not see this mass which the other hospital said could be a possible ectopic and even got a second opinion and she also couldnt see what they were saying. They explained everything as she went along during the scan and didnt rush, so am going back to this hospital for my next scan instead of my local one.

So everything is looking good and the bleeding seems to have calmed down although theres still brown discharge when I wipe but there not worried about this so am trying not to.

Anyway hope everyone else is doing fabaroonie not had time to catch up on all the posts yet due to my little trip

 

[merechick]

Glad to hear that you are doing better KKSarah, that must have been really scary! Hope all continues to go well for you
