June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Lil_Pixie]

We'll be finding out.

We went back and forth with Xander over whether or not to find out, but I was so so sure he was a girl (at the time my siblings had 11 girls and two boys) I'm not sure I would have bonded very easily if is have been expecting a tiny little girl and my big bruiser guy had showed up

I don't care at all what we have but I want to know in advance

How has everyone calculated their due dates? Based on lmp I'm 5 weeks today but I'm sure I didn't ov till cd19 so I think I'm 4+3. Not sure which one I want to go by. . .

 

[vaniilla]

I just did it based on LMP, my cycles go anywhere from 28 - 34



A cold that wont go away and a mild chest infection + nothing to take = grumpy lady

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Mine are the same but we didn't dtd till cd17 so it can't have been a short one

 

[vaniilla]

my cd21 progesterone level came back as 7, I don't know if that meant I ovulated before or a few days later?

 

[mommyxofxone]

we are definitely finding out

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

All I know is we dtd on cycle day 14 but I don't usually ovulate until at least day 17 and it's usually 19. But I got my bfp on Monday CD26 which seems very soon if I didn't ovulate until the 19th day! So I'm going off of lmp hah.

 

[vaniilla]

I wonder how fast those of us on subsequent pregnancies will show?


I'm off to pick up birthday boy from school, they grow up too fast

 

[Becyboo__x]

I'm in two minds I found out with my son but I'd like a surprise this being our last one but I'm too impatient and think OH wants to know anyway.. he didn't find out with his son.

So who knows I guess nearer the time we will decide he wants another boy think he's scared to have a girl my son wants a brother and I'm not really set on a gender I'm happy with whichever

 

[cscbeth8421]

Yep. Still pregnant.

Ultrasound week from tomorrow....so.anxious. Need to know something is growing in there....

 

[joo]

We will be finding out. It's definitely not in my nature to wait it out either! Plus i know I have always wanted girls so I am also scared of the bonding if I have a boy. That sounds awful i know I would love him straight away but just want to know asap so Can start bonding.

I am 6+2 by LMP, but think i ovulated later going by the super faint Bfp i got at 2 days late.

I sent off my referral to the midwife team today xx

 

[jalilma]

Yep. Still pregnant.

Ultrasound week from tomorrow....so.anxious. Need to know something is growing in there....

Mine was Def as dark at the control line... So it's getting darker... I have never tested before af so this is anxiety producing for me! Ugh.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I went by my LMP on an online calculator which doesn't take cycle length into account. I'm pretty confident I ovulated around day 14 anyway which is what the calculators assume.

I remember with my son when I went and had the scan I was put a whole week behind despite being so sure of the dates, no idea why that happens?

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I want an ultrasound but I also Don't want to get ahead of myself . I miscarried the day before I was supposed to have a private one =( had to ring and cancel and that really added to the sting. Not to mention loosing the 50 quid deposit !

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Rhi that's awful I can't believe they didn't return your deposit!

We found out about our last mmc at a private scan and we didn't have to pay at all.

I'm not sure if we'll get an early nhs scan this time. I'm not sure where I've heard that they'll give you an early scan if you've had two mcs in a row but something tells me that might be the case. If not we'll definitely book a private scan again. I can't bear the thought of getting to 12 weeks again thinking everything is fine when it isn't. I can't change anything either way but I can at least find out sooner.

I need to start eating better! Think I might go back to slimming world on Monday. I haven't been for months but I need to kick my bum.into gear!

Yeah. It's alot of money for nothing isn't it.

Assuming everything still seems to be going okay I will book one in about two weeks to have the scan for 8 weeks.

I have heard that but I think like most things on the nhs they won't come out and just mention it, you'll probably have to push for it. Worth a shot though =)

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Not sure if the trial people will give me a scan but I doubt it. There's a place about 30 mins away that does scans for £50 so if not we'll go there again.

Just looked at tons of maternity clothes. I may be getting ahead of myself

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Ahaha. I will admit then that I eyed up a double buggy yesterday. Hahah. See any nice clothes ?! Ahaha

50 Is brill. The deposit at the closest here is 50 as is is a national chain. We had one before that was closer and cheaper but the lady moved away and it shut =( pooo

 

[vaniilla]

We were going to pay for an 8 week scan (our nearest place charge £80) but the fertility clinic will be scanning me at my follow up which will be around then, I'm a bit sad they don't want me to tell the gp until I have the scan but it makes sense I guess.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

It's a little negative I'm not sure why they would say that you. Seems a bit unkind really.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I'd love an early scan but there's no spare money, it's so weird at the minute when you have no bump, no feeling movement and no scans yet know you're pregnant from a couple of lines on a test.

Rhi that's terrible they don't refund people on that basis!
