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

[rmsh1]

Like Louise said, my scan was very similar. We walked in, the sonographer did not get a chance to ask if we wanted to know sex, we piped up very quickly that OH does not want to know, so she did that part last, after he left the room. She payed very close attention to the heart, and it was actually really interesting, you could see all 4 chambers, beating away. And yes she measured all the bones etc, she did not tell me where my placenta was, but she showed it to me. It was obvious even to me that there was no cleft palate going on. And she got pictures of both hands and both feet, so cute!

I have another scan this week too! Due to my thyroid issues, they like to check baby's growth every 4 weeks til birth now So maybe I will get some more pictures, hopefully!

Caroline, I'm going to say girl for you

I know I've been slack at writing in this thread but hope you are all keeping well.

 

[Diddums]

I'm team pink as well Caroline! No reason other than I would love a girl lol.

AF is on her way out. I'm going for an all natural cycle so hope I ovulate around Cd20-25 like the past cycles. If I get ewcm I will go to dr for blood test form, and ask about progesterone. Though dunno whether my dr will prescribe it?

My scan was similar to Bex and Louise. I predict a boy

 

[mrsc81]

Katya, your so close to your fertility appointment your doc may say to wait until you go there, as im sure they will want to do other tests too.

 

[foquita]

i predict a boy caroline! i can't wait to find out, it's dead exciting finding out all the genders i'm so excited to find out what everyone calls their babies!

hope everyone's doing good!

 

[seabean]

I vote boy!!!!

 

[foquita]

[seabean]

i think you'll have a boy too dee

are you going to find out the sex?

Yes, we are going to find out, probably early March. I have no hunch at all what it might be, but my hubby thinks a girl.

How are you doing lately Nat?

Hey there ladies :wave:

I have been a lurker i guess, since i have been coming and reading but not posting...this cycle is sooo strange already. I have had some low temps - lowest ever. and this am we bd and like an hour or so later i felt wetness and went to the bathroom and lots of blood...what the hell...i didn't bleed during sex i am hoping that it stops i am using a pad now, and just charted spotting for now..since if i put light flow FF starts a new chart for me -- wow, right. on another note we are making a appointment this month to see the doctor but i have to call our insurance company since they mailed us new cards and mine has some other doctor on it..i have never heard of its kinda strange but whatever...

hope all is well here, I am still gonna hang around and pray for a bfp for all of us!!

 

[mrsc81]

The blood is strange Raven!
Hope you get to see the doc soon

​

 

[foquita]

that's weird raven, I hope it stops soon

I'm good dee, thanks! nothing new to report, still barren

 

[seabean]

Nooooooooo, not barren Nat! Never! Just in limbo until baby decides it's ready

Raven - Not sure what to make of the spotting/bleeding. Your temps seem to say that you did ovulate though, so maybe it was just an unusually aggressive O? Hopefully it stops soon!!

 

[foquita]

yeah you're right actually, just waiting actually more patiently than usual!

 

[raventtc]

well the heavy bleeding didn't last long..but enough to freak me out! i did have spotting when i wiped until late in the evening...and woke up this am with a large clot or a big lump of red ewm...i don't know really how to explain it. still spotting when i wipe today too, i did however fix my insurance problem and am heading to the doctors in 2 weeks - so thats my positive for today i guess..i was googling yesterday and saw some crazy stuff - damn google ! or i should say it to myself for looking seaching in google.

 

[cmwilson]

Raven - I'm sorry about the spotting/bleeding, that is so weird. I'm glad you have a doctors appointment though, hopefully you can get some answers. I agree that Google is really our worst enemy. I looked up "22 week ultrasound" and of course people aren't posting about their positive experiences, only the negative so of course I have freaked myself out about tomorrow. Nice going Caroline. I don't know why we can't step away from the Google, it's awful.

 

[foquita]

google is the worst

tomorrow will be fine Caroline, what time is it at?

glad you're going to the doctor raven, I hope they have answers for you

 

[cmwilson]

Thanks Nat, it's at 11, my time. Less than 24 hours! Yikes!

 

[mrsc81]

Which is 4pm our time... will be checking in tomorrow evening to see what your having

 

[Rachel789]

Soooo exciting Caroline! I am sure everything will be perfect

Raven- the bleeding is odd. I had that happen to me once mid cycle but it lasted a couple days for me and was a light flow and then I ended up o'ing around the time it was happening. I never figured out why it happened but it didn't happen again. Hopefully the dr can help you figure out why your not conceiving and you will be on your way to a bfp in no time
