Why do you have a bad gut feeling?
How far are you?

Also I'm curious - how do you pronounce your daughters name?

I'm driving myself crazy with how emotional I am!

I held my friends tiny 6 week old for about 20 mins today and was fighting back tears the whole time! It's not even close to the first time I've held her! Hormonal wreck!!!

hhimayy - I'm pretty sure levels are suppose to stop climbing as quickly at that point. When I went to fertility specialist they stopped taking blood after about 6 weeks and an ultrasound as it was no longer a good indicator. At least you are being followed closely though! Good luck for your next draw.

kmpreston - i think your tests look fine. I also didn't tell them i was pregnant when i booked with the specialist 2 years ago.

Taz - yay for a strong heartbeat! It was a great feeling in my last pregnancy to graduate from the fertility clinic too.

Sara0108 - sorry you're not well

Livvy - yay 5 weeks!

mirandaprice - i also can not wait to be out of the first tri!

Sunnie1984 - they gave me the same EDD today and i also have a bad feeling but promised myself no stress

afm - had my scan today. She dated me at 5+4 which is not what I was expecting. Based on LMP I should be 7 weeks and knowing that my hubby and I dtd after my fertile window and not at all before I figured I'd be about 6+3. I know that scans can be off by about a week and it was a quick abdominal scan but it still was enough that I'm now worried. I will call the doctor tomorrow and see if she will let me do a repeat scan in a week or two. The waiting is going to be brutal!

 

[Livvy]

Sweetv they moved me back 5 days in my last pregnancy and I was certain of when I o'd. Baby could have just implanted later.

 

[klabro]

Welcome to all of the new ladies!

SweetV-They dated me back by a week in my pregnancy with my daughter and I was on clomid, had monitoring and had a regular cycle so there was no way I o'ed late. And she is 4 now

So I've noticed that I am SO hungry all the time lately...anyone else? That is so not a typical early pregnancy thing for me, feels weird. I've just noticed that I'm constantly snacking. I've somehow managed to lose 3 pounds in the midst of all of this.

Can I join?

This is my 5th pregnancy! It's a rainbow following 2 losses this year. I'm anxious but optimistic.

Think I'm due March 21 but may change after scan in 2 weeks.

Try not to worry, the baby is so tiny that it's so hard to get the exact date this early on. When I had my scan on Wed she said I was somewhere between 5-6 weeks X

Welcome to the new ladies, congrats on your

I'm so emotional also, crying at any little thing! Plus I am always so hungry but as soon as I have food I don't fancy it!

 

[sarah0108]

Me too katestar I keep crying and buying random food to eat but either not actually eating it or starting to eat then feeling sick

 

[Livvy]

Welcome ttc, I hope this is your take home baby! I had a mc in April so I understand the worry.

I'm glad I'm not the only emotional one. Last night I got irrationally upset with DH and cried for a long time. At least I can admit it's hormonal, right? Haha

 

[SweetV]

thanks so much for the reassurance! Im feeling a little better about everything this morning. I will ask for another scan over the next few weeks and perhaps when i speak to the doctor today I will ask for another beta to see that the numbers are rising. That should tide me over until I see the little heart beat.

I can't eat at all! Even dinner yesterday I had two bites and felt so full and bloated. Im forcing myself though as Im now supporting 2 extra humans on my intake. Other than that still just EXHAUSTED.

 

[hhimayy]

Ultrasound went okay yesterday. Baby had heartbeat. No one said anything but I know the sac is small. My doc originally told me my progesterone was great but I guess 12.6 is great to her. I asked to be put on supplements. Time will only tell.

I'm glad your scan went well. Why do you think baby is small? The american pregnancy website says progesterone over 9 is good for first trimester but if it would make you feel better hopefully the doctor listens and puts you on supplements.

 

[hhimayy]

Doctor did pit me on supplements so that eases my mind that I am doing all I can.

The gestational sac seems small to me. Research says a gestational sac that is less than 5mm bigger than crl there is an 80% chance of miscarriage.

I am just going to try and relax and wait for my next scan in 2 weeks. I really try not to look at the negatives but it feels like they just keep coming my way.

 

[kmpreston]

I'm very crampy today. With back ache to match. I'm hoping this is normal :/

 

[salamander91]

As expected I had my scan today and I'm not as far on as lmp put me. I knew this would happen because I didn't get even the faintest of lines until 4+5 from lmp. Gestational sac measuring 7mm in the right please and a scan again in 2 weeks. I expected it but was still horrible not seeing a wee bean and heartbeat

 

[kmpreston]

Feeling a bit more positive in spite of the back ache and cramps because yay 2-3 weeks! Never this far before keep sticking little bean!

 

[sarah0108]

hugs salamander, sending good vibes your way for the next scan!


I'm so so so nervous for my scan tomorrow, even more so that my partner is out of the country until wednesday so ill be going alone.
