Pic??? My due date is 18th July xx

 

[confuzion]

Hi robo! Nice to see you here have loved following your thread. I'll attach a pic now.

 

[confuzion]

Of course I plan on testing everyday now lol. Not even sure how to proceed. Betas always gave me big time anxiety so I'm thinking of skipping them.

 

[robo123]

Lovely line for 9dpo congrats hun xx betas help me because I'm always nervous with test lines if you can't tell lol

 

[confuzion]

lol I am too. At least I used to be. Hard to really gauge how I'm going to cope his pregnancy. Kind of came as a shock since I was fully prepared for a hard time. I mean it took us 2 years the first time. I don't know whether to get the early scan and the betas or if I should just wait and call in at 8 weeks like a 'normal' person lol.

 

[robo123]

I would go for the early scan. That's me , I'm an extremely anxious person and find knowing makes me feel more in control. I need to learn to let go

 

[confuzion]

You're right. I think if things weren't currently so complicated with our schedules I would be doing everything without a second thought. But my husband is always busy and my mom is out of town until the end of the month. So I have nobody to watch my daughter. And taking her along for a blood draw or ultrasound is not going to happen.

If I had an ectopic in the past nothing would stop me from an early scan so I definitely feel your concern. But besides my molar pregnancy my miscarriages were of the 'normal' variety. My molar pregnancy wasn't removed until like the 11th week of pregnancy so if I get a scan at 8 weeks I feel like that would be the most conclusive. My midwives do a quick scan the first appointment if you haven't had 1 yet so I may just wait for that. Going to rely on tests for now to tell me what my hcg is doing.

I love the surepredict cheapies they showed early and gave me great progression with my daughter so using them again. But part of me really wants those weeks indicator digitals. But I've seen those send many a people into a panic for no reason so I'm on the fence.

Hi!:wave:

I'm 11 dpo and got a faint line on a FRER and an IC this morning. IC was with FMU and FRER was with 2nd. Lines are still faint but definitely there. It's very similar to my pregnancy with DD1.

Anyone else having super anxiety about being pregnant again after MC? Every time i go pee and wipe I'm scared to see blood When does that feeling go away, or does it?

I know it's super early, but when do you call the doctor to schedule something? Is it different after you've had a MC? This is new territory for me since this is my first PG after MC in September.

Hugs to all you mamas and FX'd we all have sticky babies!

Hi nika congrats!! For me, when I was pregnant with my now rainbow daughter, my whole first tri was riddled with anxiety. I spotted up until 13 weeks. Even went to my anatomy scan nervous they wouldn't find a heartbeat. I think it was after that scan that I started feeling a little more confident. Feeling movement definitely helped a ton. And seeing my growing belly was definitely different. I had 4 miscarriages before her though and no kids so I kind of felt like my body was always going to betray me. I'm a little more optimistic now that I know my body CAN do it. I think you will feel better once you see this little ones heartbeat flickering.

I think you should call your doc and see if they want you to come in for some serial betas to make sure your hcg is doing what it should. Then maybe a 6 weeks scan. That's the standard of care I think for post miscarriage. At least that has been my experience.

When are you ladies due? I want to create a list in the first post!

 

[nikalicious]

Confuzion- I'm due 7/21, 5 days before my birthday!

Thank you so much for the info. I want to see my line darken and then I'll give them a call, hopefully tomorrow, to see about beta checks. Every sharp pain or cramp that feels like when I MC has me so anxious. We never got to see an ultrasound before I MC at almost 9 weeks last time so I think I will feel alot better once I see a heartbeat. I'm really trying to be optimistic and think good thoughts. I'm going to try some yoga tomorrow to help clear my head and relax me. I'll probably take a bath tonight too to help.

I haven't shown DH the test or told him yet. The last two times I've told him I was pregnant have been really bad, and not planned or very exciting. The first time was great. Any ideas on how to tell him this time?

I'm so sorry you experienced so many losses before your rainbow baby! I can understand how you'd feel like your body was failing you. FX'd for sticky beans this time around!

 

[confuzion]

I'm terrible at telling my husband. I just blurt it out. Lol. It's never exciting. I don't think it will ever really be exciting again. We're always going to feel like the odds are against us. But I'm really trying to be positive for this one.

How are you doing today ladies?

 

[nikalicious]

Confuzion- I'm doing good today. Line is darker than last night and yesterday so I'm hopeful. I'll call the doctor's office in a bit to see what they want me to do. Still anxious every time I go pee. And nervous that my peeing frequency has decreased today compared to nearly every hour yesterday. I'm going to just try to focus on something else.

As for telling DH, the first time I got pregnant I got a cute card and onesie. With #2 I shoved it in his face and said "I guess this is why I've been a bitch lately" with number 3 I told him to schedule his vasectomy lol!

How are you doing today hun?!

 

[robo123]

I'm due 18th july,im nervous and anxious but I need to just go with the the flow. Have a scan booked for next week. And will have betas tomorrow xx

 

[nikalicious]

I thought I had uploaded this pic but I guess not. From top to bottom is yesterday 2nd MU, last night and FMU today.

 

[confuzion]

I'm doing pretty good nika. Starting to feel 'different'. No full on pregnancy symptoms yet but definitely changes are a happening.

Robo - is this scan to make sure everything is in the right place?

My lines are really boosting my confidence I have to admit. I feel better about skipping betas. 9DPO top, 10 DPO middle and 11 DPO last one. These surepredict tests are literally the best tests ever. And this is an expired batch haha.

[robo123]

Yes the scan is to make sure it's not in the tubes. Your lines look great! Xx

 

[confuzion]

FX this bean is in the right place and sticky .

Hi ladies! Would love to join you!

I have 8 amazing kids currently. Had 2 mc's before I had any of them. Then no more mc's until recently. After my last baby who is 10 mos old, I had 2 chemicals and then carried a baby until 15 weeks. We found out he had just passed on sept 1 and delivered him on sept 7. I didn't have a cycle in between and we are pregnant again. We are so over the moon!!! I *think* I'm 16 dpo today. Since I never had a cycle they will do betas and a sonogram when they get high enough. I already had one beta on Monday which I think was 14 dpo. It came back 107.6 which I'm delighted with. Based on when I think I ovulated I would be due July 17, but I'm sure I'll get a better date after a sonogram.

 

[confuzion]

Welcome blessedmomma. I'm so sorry about your second tri loss . FX this is your rainbow. That's a great first beta!
