Hi ladies!! Wow there's been a lot of posts since I was last here on Saturday.

A chemical is the term for a very early mc. Baby doesn't implant, even though you get a bfp and af comes as usual. My first hope is to get to 5+3. Then second tri to come around pretty quickly. I don't want to wish away my pregnancy but i am scared of loosing this one too.

Oh I know what you mean by not wanting to wish it away!! It's hard to enjoy it yet tho isn't it. Like I'm scared to get too attached??
I remember being soo excited with my first and I even told everyone as soon as we found out which made it so tough when we miscarried

Here's hoping we all have super strong sticky beans in there that we can enjoy for the next 9 months (and beyond of course!)

I totally know what you mean about not wishing your pregnancy away - I don't want to wish mine away either, but gosh I wish it was December already!!!

Congrats on the 3+. I'm hoping to get mine tomorrow. That's a lovely way to suprise your mum. So sweet.

I wanna be part of the 3+ club!! I have looked everywhere for digital hpts in New Zealand, but I can't find one anywhere! Booo. Anyone wanna send me one? I'll send you yummy NZ chocolate in return? Lol - only joking

I have a dating scan on 18th of oct !!!!!!
And I got 3+!!!! Told DH last night and he was over the moon! I am to excited for words lol!
Hoping to continue breastfeeding though out pregnancy and then triandem my three

I just booked my dating scan for 31st October - I'll be 8 weeks!!

I had a scary experience this afternoon. I called the nurse to get my blood test results - hcg, iron and folate. The blood test was done at 4w1d (4 days ago).

My hcg level was 170. From looking online this looks perfectly normal to me, but the nurse said "Hmmm, I'll have to go and ask the Doctor. It looks a bit low to me."

So she goes to ask the Doctor and calls me back and says "it's a bit early to tell if it's all OK". I was like, "I just want to know if an hcg level of 170 at 4w1d is abnormal?" She said "Oh no, it's not abnormal".

Grrrr - why did she have to freak me the *#@% out by initially telling me that she thought they looked low! I knew from previous research that 170 isn't low (after all, 4w1d was really only the day of my missed period), but she still freaked me out for nothing.

Anyway, I'm having weekly tests now - next one on Thursday morning - to check if the hcg levels are rising. FX!!!!!

Then she said she'd call me back again only if I had abnormal iron or folate levels. Anyway, then 10 minutes later she calls me back!! Luckily it was only to tell me my iron and folate levels were normal. Phew! (They checked iron and folate as I have been anaemic in the past and also had a folate deficiency a few years ago).

This is all scary stuff, feel like I'm on a rollercoaster!

I have one on Friday, FX's it's at the right place this time. Please don't make it a ectopic.

Danielle, hope your little bean is in the right place. I have my scan in 2 hours to make sure it isn't ectopic, I'm so nervous!!!!

Ah, nzjade. I'm so sorry that nurse put you through that!!
Welcome jadey. Congratulations on the bfp.
Ladies, i got my 3+ this morning. Quite shocked i got it at 4+4 but my tests have been dark every day so not that suprising. Off to the doctors today. We're considered high risk so i need the close monitoring they promised me.

 

[CottlestonPie]

Blurghhhh. Had some red spotting this morning.
Trying not to panic as I had spotting on and off for 16 weeks with Toby. Still can't help but have those thoughts in the back of my head.
Got a doctors appointment today. Might ask to be referred for an early scan or bloods or whatever for reassurance.

 

[NDH]

I see my gp tomorrow. Got a doula booked already over the weekend lol.

 

[Parabellum]

Ok for me to join? I should be due 16th June. Grats to you all getting your bfp's.

 

[28329]

CottlestonPie i hope the spotting is nothing. I have my fingers crossed for you.

 

[CottlestonPie]

Thank you Spotting, doctors appointment and job interview all in the same day... I'm a wreck! lol

 

[28329]

Just make sure to find time to relax and try not to stress yourself out. Best of luck for your interview.

Hiya,

How is everyone today? I'm feeling ok, little nausea and sore boobies.

I'm worrying a little about my tests cause I was having really good progression but now I'm worrying that test line is not darker than control line yet. Is anyone else still testing?

x

 

[28329]

Not everyones tests do that hun. My tests have been dark since the first day i tested so i didn't see any progression. I got my 3+ digi today and wont test anymore. I suggest you stop testing, we don't want you having any unwanted stress. It'll do you on good. Put your feet up and enjoy.

 

[MummyImogene]

Anyone not finding out the gender?

 

[Swanny]

I found out gender with last pregnancy but this time I'm hoping that I can try to resist although hubby wants to find out. I love the idea of having the surprise at the end but then hubby says well it's still a surprise when you find out at scan.

Would be easier for us to find out as we have loads of boys clothes already.

I felt like knowing last time helped me bond more with the baby before he was born and that was important to me after having previous m/c's I wanted to know who the baby was while I got the chance if you know what I mean.

 

[CottlestonPie]

My last test (2 days ago) still wasnt darker than the control but I dont think they ever got darker last time either. Everyone and every test is different so try not to stress. Easier said than done I know.
I'm testing WAY less this time around because I ended up with a naff test with not much dye in it once and I panicked SO MUCH thinking my levels were dropping when actually it was just the test. Not going through that again!

As for gender... I think I want to find out. I'm far too curious to not know. And I'd get jealous of the sonographer if he/she knew and I didn't haha

Anyone BD yet? I have once but I'm still kinda nervous of it... Please tell me I'm not the only one!

 

[Swanny]

I didn't BD for the whole 9 months with my last pregnancy cause I was so scared!! NO JOKE!!

There are other things that you can do though if you don't want to BD.... LOL
