Liivy - When that happens I usually just recalculate it based on when I O'd versus when my last period was because doctors are so narrow minded that they think everyone is mechanical.
Good luck, Texmel! Can't wait for an update
AFM I've been incredibly tired today. Not so nauseated as yesterday (must have had a hormone surge last night) but I feel like if I could lay down on the couch I would be out. Ugh! Pregnancy fatigue is real...

Good luck Texmel, hope all goes well x
Sorry for all those feeling awful, I hope it eases soon. Im not too bad, nausea comes in bouts but not too severe. Getting difficult to brush my teeth without gagging and my gums hurt. My nipples are killing me!!! The main thing is Im exhausted but I am on the go all day and hardly get a chance to sit down....but when I do I dont want to get up again lol.
I phoned the midwife yesterday, Im booked in for next Wednesday which seems a bit early as I will be 6w3d and didnt think she would see me till 8weeks.
Also phoned the hospital and Ive to take another preg test next week (ive done about 20
)and phone them back to book an early scan for around 8 weeks. Im happy as hopefully will get a good pic to put on christmas cards for our parents.

My appointment went great! Hb was 162 and strong! She wasn't concerned at all! Will post pics in a little bit. Measured 7w6d (I'm really 7w3d), so all is good. I'm so relieved.
I'm scheduled in for Dec 20 for my NT scan. I'll be a few days before 12 weeks then, that is ok, right?
Also, I have so much cooking to do tonight for thanksgiving and I want to do nothing but sleep!!!

Great news, Texmel! Such a relief to hear that sweet heartbeat, isn't it?

The lady I spoke with said they like to do it between 12 + 13 weeks, but it can be done up until 13+5.
Why are you getting the scan? Are the NT results important to you, or is it just for peace of mind and then you will announce your pregnancy because you are in the "safe zone"?
I ask because if the results of the NT scan matter to you, then I would say it does matter that you are getting it done before 12w. The nuchal fold needs to be properly formed so they can get an accurate measurement and result.

great news, Texmel!! I'm glad you got to see and hear your little bean!
I'm a bit confused about a thing or two, and wondering if anyone is having the same thing as me, or did around 5 weeks. It seems like one day I feel like I've been hit by a truck, and the next I'm on top of the world. For example, yesterday I felt like I was hungover all day, and came down with a massive headache after supper. To the point that I (shh) took a nap at work, because I didn't think I could make it through the night for the fatigue and pain and just general feeling of being run down. And then today I let myself sleep in, and I've felt awesome all day. I've got sore bbs and mild cramps, which have been my only consistent symptoms throughout. Other than that there's no dizziness, or queasiness.. nothing.
Is the extreme inconsistency in good and bad feelings something that should cause concern, or have I just kind of not reached the tipping point yet..? If it weren't for the small amount of cramping today, I wouldn't know anything was going on at all.
I'm seeing the doc on dec 11, so still two and a half weeks. And we have an ultrasound booked for dec 28, which still feels so far. I wish we could get in sooner just so I would know there's a heartbeat and everything is strong and developing and that it's all ok in there.
Anyone else thinking too much?

Sherii, until I was a little over 6w, my symptoms were like that. Id have an awful day, then a good day. Sometimes Id have half a good day, and the other half was bad. Now its just all awful
Every few days maybe we get a surge in hcg which will make us have a worse day, where symptoms are bad?

that helps a bit, thank you. I have been wondering if there's a clinic or something I can pay to have an ultrasound instead of waiting for the hospital clinic haha. We have terrible wait times for anything other than a family doctor appointment here. it can be brutal. I suspect that I will curse myself for wasting these days worrying, when feeling all the badness is probably in my future. FX this time next week I feel like crap

You absolutely will be able to find somewhere privately if you are worried. That is exactly what I did, and have done with all of my pregnancies so far. Absolutely worth the $150 for peace of mind in my opinion

Sherii, I would say at 5w I was the same. Good one day, not so good the next. I didn't truly start to feel awful until around 6w5d. And I don't know that I ever felt like this last time around with my son, so I am really starting to believe it's a girl. It just feels so different this time.
Buffy, at my doctor, if we aren't doing the Harmony test, they recommend everyone do the NT test. Neither would change anything for us. It just seems to be a benchmark they use at this OB. I'll text her next week and ask if I need to change. They only do the scans on Mondays and Wednesdays, so Christmas Day would have been the day it would work for my work schedule that week, and that is clearly out, so the receptionist started looking at the week before.
Those worried about their bladder in scans a few weeks ago.... I made sure to drink plenty of water to pee in the darn cup when I got to the office, but they didn't have me do it this time, so we got into the scan room and my OB was like "girl, you have to go empty your bladder before we do this" and I told her they didn't have me pee in a cup, so she had her nurse bring the cup to that side of the building and made me wrap up in the paper gowns to run down the hall to pee. I almost flashed anyone in the hall. Luckily, I didn't look around to see if anyone was there.

thank you tex and buffy.
I'm glad there are others. I found a thread online with more ladies saying the same thing. I'm sure I'm worrying for nothing. I still have a hard time believing there's a little bean in there sometimes. Maybe I'll run the private ultrasound idea past DH and see what he says. I predict he will tell me I'm being silly and that there's no reason to worry and he would rather wait than pay when nothing is wrong.
Let's chalk this up to an emotional day. Hey, maybe that's a symptom all on it's own..

So exciting tex congrats!
Great news TexMel!!
Sherii that's totally normal, and every pregnancy is different. With my son, I didn't start feeling regularly crappy until 7 or 8 weeks. For some reason this time around things are worse and earlier. I'm convinced it's a girl (or twins! Lol).
Totally freaked out my hubby tonight. I walked in the living room and he's sitting on the couch eating out of my bag of dark chocolate pomegranate candy I bought myself at the store today. I stopped dead in front of him and waited for him to look at me. He looks up, and I go, "seriously?" He slowly set the bag down and quickly said, "sorry. I only ate a few." Lol
