long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

Rachel - that's amazing you can feel him/her! Must be an amazing sensation. Good luck with the gender scan and let us know

My first appt is tomorrow! Based on my LMP I will be exactly 7 weeks, but I know I ovulated ~4 days late, so more like 6 and a half. When I first made an appt the secretary said I would get a scan, but when I called to reschedule this appt they said there wasn't a scan until the 10-12 week one That means I won't get to confirm there is actually a baby growing until AFTER the holidays. Which sucks, because we were planning on telling close family - we probably still will, but there is a bigger uncertainty that will go along with it now.

 

[Rachel789]

That's a long time to wait! Maybe you could get a private scan?

 

[seabean]

I was thinking of that - or at least trying my hardest to talk them into working around it? We'll see.

In other news, I've had a little super mild nausea here and there over the past 3 weeks, but it's picked up a bit this week. I'm sitting at my desk and feel like I really might puke for the first time.

Rachel - Yay movements! Wait until your being kicked in the cervix, sooo strange!
Cant wait to find out if your or

Dee - Good luck with the appointment, let us know how it goes

 

[cmwilson]

Rachel and Dee - Good luck at your appointments! I can't wait to hear how they go!

Rachel - I'm jealous you get to find out the gender! I still have to wait another 5 weeks! I'm trying to feel for movement but I don't think I feel any yet. I don't really know what I'm looking for! Anything I am feeling is probably gas!

 

[Rachel789]

Dee- good luck at your appt today!

Caroline- what I am feeling feels different than gas. I only feel it a few times a day but it feels like a little tap or bubbles. Sme people describe it as flutters but I wouldn't say it feels like flutters for me. You may already be feeling it and chalking it up to gas but it will for sure be noticeable in the next couple weeks

I am surprised you have to wait so long! Are you not getting an anatomy scan? They told me the anatomy scan has to be done around 18 weeks or so, so that's why I am getting one done.

Appointment went well today! We spent an hour with the nurse practitioner who I really really like, had a ton of blood drawn for a bunch of different tests, and peed in a cup. Plus, she scheduled me for an internal ultrasound next Friday so I don't have to wait until after the holidays what a relief! My poor husband is so nervous for that already.

 

[mrsc81]

Thats great, and not long until you get a scan

 

[Rachel789]

That's great news!

 

[seabean]

HCG levels came back 9,100!

 

[Rachel789]

Yay that's amazing news!!!

 

[cmwilson]

That's awesome Dee! How many dpo were you when your blood was taken? I think it's time for that ticker!!

Rachel - I'm dying to hear how your appointment went!!

 

[Rachel789]

I am so excited to announce we are having a girl!!

I was so shocked I really thought it would be a boy I would have been ecstatic either way but its so nice to know what we are having now it makes it more personal

 

[cmwilson]

Aww that's wonderful!! Congrats! This thread has been on the girl trend! I'm thinking I'm bringing a boy to thread though. We shall see! Congrats again! So happy for you!

 

[rmsh1]

Yay congrats Rachel, we are all team pink in here right now

Hi girls!

I'm so glad to hear that the appointments went well today!

Dee, those are great numbers and it must be a huge relief to know you can get an US next week. With my boys I had an internal US at about 7 weeks and they were able to see to see the heartbeat and all. You must be so excited!

Aww, Rachel, I'm happy to hear about your little girl!And I agree...there is definitely a trend on this threadLittle girls are wonderful. Mine's only 11, but she's already my best little buddy...don't know what I'd do without her. And it's great that you're feeling the baby move! It will really start picking up over the next few weeks!

Nothing new with me. Still waiting for my Met. in the mail, but I should get it over the next 3 or 4 days. I was just looking at my lab results that they sent me in the mail. When they were determining my hormone levels as to whether or not they thought I had PCOS, they took the ratio of LH to FSH (or something like that) and they said that anything over 2.5 indicated PCOS and mine was 3.4, so I guess that's not very goodOh well, hopefully the meds will help the insulin resistance so I'll O. more regularly

Hope everyone has a great day.

 

[mrsc81]

Congrats Rachel

Wouldnt it be funny if we are all having girls

Hope you get your meds soon bethany

 

[seabean]

CONGRATS RACHEL!!!



Do we really have all girls on this thread?! That's crazy!

 

[Rachel789]

Thanks everyone we are so excited!! It's crazy that no one has announced they are having a boy yet I thought for sure I would be...maybe it will be Caroline!

I only feel kicks here and there no pattern yet but the ultrasound tech informed me I have an anterior placenta so I probably only feel it when she kicks hard or in a certain area but I should feel kicks stronger and on a regular basis around 22 weeks.

Bethany- I know how upsetting it can be to get the pcos diagnosis but right after I was diagnosed I found out I was pregnant so as long as you ovulate you have just as good as a chance as anyone else. Is your dr going to give you an ultrasound and/or put you on clomid?
