July Sparklers 2016!

Well that was disappointing. Went to my dr yesterday and they couldn't do a vaginal ultrasound because the probes were being cleaned, and they won't have them back for 2-3 months...so he ordered one at an imaging place! I just got back from it and the lady immediately told me she couldn't tell me anything and it would be sent to my dr after the radiologist analyzes it, and it may not be til Monday. So no scan picture, no idea if there's a heartbeat or looking normal. They didn't even let me see the screen. I'm really upset and disappointed.

Ah hugs carlinator that's really bad to not tell you anything! Hoping everything is just fine tho. Can you ring your dr and explain what happened? It's your body you have a right to know what's going on.x

 

[Hollynesss]

That's terrible, Carlinator! I would be very upset

 

[Cowgirl07]

How awful, even though most us techs legally can't give results. But mine at least let me see the screen. So I could guess if things are okay or not.
I had my last re scan today. I'm 6w5d by their standards. Baby measured 7 weeks, sac measures between 6 weeks and 6w4d. Hb was 141

Terminator that sounds like a terrible experience. If it would be me, it would just make me a nervous wreck! Can u call the doc to tell him/her?

 

[ehjmorris]

I am so sorry carlinator, i would try ringing your dr if you can, and i hope everything is okay with your lil bean, when ever i have a scan i have my partner there in case im not allowed to see the screen or if they dont say anything and ask what he saw.

As for the cups of tea/coffee and soft drink i only have one half strength coffee in the mornings and then juice, water or milk the rest of the day, i will occasionally have a small soft drink. With my last pregnancy i had a lot of soft drink, ate sushi and deli meat and probably some things i shouldn't have and now i am terrified that the same thing will happen again if i even try that stuff

 

[luvmyfam]

Carlinator that's awful! I'm so sorry! I would be extremely upset too .

 

[Miss Bellum]

Scgirl, thats a great site, really interesting. I tend to take a similar approach to drinks I try to keep caffeine in moderation and mainly stick to water.

Luvmyfam – How lovely to tell your mil on your birthday

babydustcass – Lapland sounds like a great holiday! Hope you have a fab time

wanna-b-mummy – Good to hear the sea bands are working. The mood swings can be worrying. I seem to get teary quite quickly at the moment. Yesterday I started getting upset that there is a book about Mog dying. Not the book itself, just the thought of it's existence! I've been a bit short tempered so try to take myself away from people but think its tied into lack of sleep.

TTC74 – Hope you feel better soon

Karry1412 – what a worry but great you got to see bean again. Glad alls ok. 6 cups of tea! Fab news, I'd love to be able to have 6 coffees, lack of caffeine not a good combo for insomnia.

Redbutterfly – Total sympathy on insomnia – I was awake for what felt like most of the night. Its so frustrating.

Wantsalittle one – Glad you insomnia has cleared up.

Jallima – nothing more frustrating then being left with an empty box!

Carlinator – Oh no, how disappointing! I'm so sorry the scan went so badly. Any ideas when you can get another one booked?


Cowgirl07 – Your scan results sound good.

Had an appointment today, but they didn't do anything except give me a pregnancy test. I tried to tell the receptionist I was too early for anything of substance when I made the appointment but she wouldn't listen to me..we basically talked about my son the whole time. Didn't do anything even worth the copay..Oh well..making an appointment tomorrow for 2-3 weeks from now and will probably get an ultrasound, but will probably end up switching doctor's because all the nurses were snobby and rude the whole time. I look a lot younger than I am and people judge me based I that, and if I didn't know something and asked a question I was made to feel stupid. I loved my doctor, but they did the same thing when I was pregnant with Leo and I think I'm done with those nurses. Some are nice but most treat me crappy

 

[frangi33]

Melli I got a rude receptionist when I rang up for my booking in appointment. They do my head in and have there own hoops and rules you have to jump through. I never know when I ring up who I'm going to get and what their specific rules are lol.

 

[babydustcass]

well thats crappy melli. I hope you find another place that will look after you better.
The last thing you want is to feel uncomfortable, especially to ask questions that you need the answers to.

Afm- having a really stressy morning. I don't know what is it. I feel so annoyed with everyone and everything. I think have been quite mean to my son this morning , once again he hadnt unpacked his swim bag, got ready for school, done anything to make himself look presentable for school and left his room a complete crap hole with clothes strewn all over the floor? Not good, I have to tell him these things over and over but possibly didnt warrant my outburst this morning and now i feel so guilty Also blaming OH for my bad mood this morning because when asked if he could lay off his favourite sweat pants this week so i could get them all washed and packed for our lapland holiday, he said dont worry i was gonna buy some more. Are you kidding me!? This guy goes to the gym every day in a different tracksuit. He buys new ones very often. He has so many sweats that I still have a pile sitting on my dresser and he can barely open his drawers or fit anymore at the top of his waldrobe. Its not the money to buy new clothes at all, i dont care about that, its just MORE Sweats when my world seems to consist of ironing them continuously? Reallyyyyyy!? arghhh
yeah its one of those days

 

[Babylove100]

Yuk, people keep spraying perfume in the office!! I can't cope, it's so sweet and sickly!!!

 

[karry1412]

Carlinator - That really sucks! I hope you get some answers really soon & it'll put your mind at ease It's so ridiculous that they didn't even let you see the screen.

Cowgirl07 - Congrats on your scan! Our dates are pretty similar!

MelliPaige - I would switch doctors if it's an option. You don't want to be dealing with that at every appointment! So unnecessary on their behalf.

babydustcass - Hope your day improves from here on! I totally hear you on the too many clothes - my laundry/ironing pile never ends.

AFM - Doing ok so far today. A little nauseous but not too bad. My boy woke up at 6.20am & my saint of a DH got up with him & let me go back asleep!

 

[karry1412]

Ugh, I used to work with someone who used to do that all the time! Most of the time I didn't mind so much but then she switched to one that basically smelt like candyfloss. It bothered me so much then when I wasn't even pregnant so I can't imagine what it would be like for you now

 

[Babylove100]

It's awful, I sit next to her and she smokes so everytime she comes back in out comes the spray! I'm in a lose lose situation, either the smell of smoke or her perfume *sigh*!

 

[Carlinator]

Thank you for the words of encouragement ladies. I guess all I can do is call te dr today and ask for them to call me as soon as my results are in. They took blood too so maybe they will do an hcg count, but there's nothing to compare it to. I'm supposed to go back in 3 weeks. Sigh. I guess it's not that bad, some ladies don't get a scan at all until later, but t really sucks not knowing if everything is going ok - I feel like I've been waiting weeks to still be at square one.

I've been moody too, lol. And man, this morning sickness. I've only thrown up once but the intense lingering nausea that plagues me all day, ugh. Does it feel like a weird combination of pain and intense hunger to anyone else? Like it comes in waves, and I'll think I'm starving, but then it intensifies and I don't want to look at food. I can't even finish my morning cup of coffee. Dr prescribed me some promethazine and it helps a little but I can't stay awake on it for anything, lol! So it's hard to take een 1/2 one during the daytime. Haha, I remember crashing after I took it last night around 6 or 7pm and hazily telling OH "I'm working hard so I'm resting now."

Eeeew. I feel your pain Babylove. That sounds gross and I'm trying really hard not to vividly imagine that smell but it's not working

Opps, sorry carlinator!!

 

[WantsALittle1]

Carlinator that's exactly what morning sickness is like to me. I get this burning, stinging pang of hunger that is so bad that it alone makes me sick. I will desperately sprint to the fridge and NOTHING looks good. When I finally find something, I take two bites and feel totally full and spend the next three hours on the couch groaning, burping and trying not to vomit, and then the whole cycle starts again where I am suddenly burningly hungry and need food like now.
