Thank you! Good luck for your scan tomorrow. Hubs had to work today so I had to go alone too xx

I'm sorry salamander, I hope the next scan is better. I just wish I had a scan in the near future... As far as I know, I don't. I'm going to try to get one in the first week of August but don't know if my doctor will let me.

Sarah keep us updated, will be thinking of you! Xx

hhimayy - I'm glad the supplements are easing your mind a little. I know what you mean about looking for the negatives. I do it too.

kmpreston - symptoms sound pretty typical. congrats on 2-3 weeks!

salamander91 - I know exactly what you mean. I expected to be put back but still expected something. Not seeing a heartbeat is driving me nuts. In 2 weeks you will see much, much more!

sarah0108 - good luck for your scan!

Livvy - I hope they let you get a scan too!

Doctors office called and said my hcg rose to 30000 since Friday when it was 14777. Puts it at 116 hours doubling time. Everything I've found online shows after 10000 their expected to take 4 or more days to double. Think that puts it right on track right now.

Asked about gestational sac and nurse said it was not mentioned on the ultrasound report.

Hopefully it all on the up and up. Indigestion has returned with the progesterone....woot!

Hey ladies, sorry i haven't been posting in a little while but not much is going on here, i have been reading the posts everyday, checking in to see how everyone is doing! hello to all who are new! yay for the scans! (looking forward to when i get to have one of my own, not sure when that is yet)

I think i had a smell aversion to the lotion we put on my son, the powdery smell just over powered me and made me a little nauseated for a few mins, last pregnancy that only happened with frying onions, oh well. not many symptoms to report just tired like all the time no matter how much i sleep. i did have the first appointment but it was the one with the nurse to get medical history and tell me about some new blood work that can check for different genetic conditions and gender by 9 weeks. i don't want to know the gender that early and if there is a genetic problem, so be it, i will love and care for the baby no matter what.

Hi girls. I joined another March 2017 group and then saw this one! I've not read the thread yet, but will do. Congratulations to all of you!

Name (just first)? Ellie

How old are you? 39

What's your EDD, how have you figured that date? 21st March 2017 - I did IVF

What # child is this for you? 1

Do you predict you're carrying a boy or girl? At the moment, I don't even know how many (we put back 2 embies)! I don't have a strong feeling yet, but I've always wanted a little girl and DH wants a son and heir. We will both be delighted with whatever we get! This baby has been a long time coming.

Are you finding out the gender? I'd love to stay team yellow, but I know I won't!

How many months were you TTC? 19 (with about 6 months NTNP before that)

Are you on any meds to help support your pregnancy? Progesterone pessaries and prednisolone until 12w (I have NK cells) and thyroxine to level out my TSH. Folic acid, obviously.


Edit: I've caught up on this thread. Great to read your stories and start to get to know you. I recognise a few names from other threads I've been on.
I've seen lots of us are feeling really emotional in these early days. I have the best word for that:

Scan day, I've woken up with the worst nerves! I'm off to work for a few hours which will hopefully keep me distracted

Hope you all have a nice day

 

[PrincessTaz]

Welcome to all the newbies, so glad to have you all. Sorry I've been quiet in here but I've been on late shifts are work and they really take it out of me. I finish at 7pm tonight though and then off over the weekend so I'll have a proper catch up and add everyone to the list.


Hope everyone is well xx

hhimayy - So glad your got to see the heartbeat! Try not worry as everything seems on track for you And after a certain number it takes much longer for hcg to double so your numbers seem fantastic

kmpreston - Yay for your 2-3 on the digital! Are you going to test till you get a 3+? Cramping is totally normal, it feels like my period is coming. I have been having quite severe cramping on and off, its just baby snuggling in

salamander91 - oh sweetie Could you off ovulated later than you thought? I'm sure all is ok, big hugs

elliecain - Welcome & congrats on your Like you I am planning on staying team yellow! I found out with both my boys but fancy a surprise this time round

sarah0108 - Thinking of you sweetie, update as soon as you can

AFM - This first trimester is certainly dragging right!? I cant believe I have another SIX weeks of this! Blahhhhhhhhh, roll on 12 weeks!

 

[salamander91]

Thanks katestar. I'm only 4 months pp so I think theres a good chance my cycles aren't regular and I ovulated late! I didn't get a bfp until 4+5 either and it was very faint so I think its likely I'm just not as far on as expected. The wait is horrible though! Xx

 

[Livvy]

Give us an update as soon as you can Sarah, thinking of you xx

I am a newbie, hello!
I was a member of this site briefly when I was pregnant with my (now) 3 year old but didn't post much as our internet was awful back then.
I have 4 kids, 3 with us (our oldest son died Nov 2014) and now expecting #5. Our girls are 6, 3, and 1.

I am due March 21st which is my husbands birthday so he's pretty happy

 

[Livvy]

Welcome Katie, I'm sorry about your son.

I have kind of a funny story.. I just had to announce to my best friend because of a slip my husband made. Granted he was just trying to look out for me. We were with our house church Wednesday night and they decided to do communion with real wine... DH asked for a juice option but I quickly told him it was ok and just pretended to drink it. He's not that great at being subtle so I thought everything was fine but turns out my best friend's husband heard him and got suspicious. She texted me just now telling me "he thinks you're pregnant" so of course I couldn't lie to her. Ugh wasn't going to tell anyone yet but what can you do?

 

[kmpreston]

I just had to announce to one of my friends too - oooops!

She knew I was at a consultant appointment for IVF today and asked how it went - but because I saw her in person I struggled to lie and say I had been referred with a straight face so I just blurted out that I am pregnant

 

[sarah0108]

Thanks for the well wishes girls! I'm pleased to confirm that the scan went brilliantly

Have seen two babies and two heartbeats! I am so relieved, everything looks perfect currently.

I've uploaded pictures but they're in my journal!

I hope you're all well xx

Thank you KAtestar! after seeing the last scan being empty sacs i was so scared there would be nothing there, i am SO relieved x

Hi all, I've only just found this thread (& had to make a new account after my 2012 one seems to have expired!)

Here's my details


Name (just first)? Sian

How old are you? 32

What's your EDD, how have you figured that date? 22nd March, from my LMP

What # child is this for you? Second, I have a 4 year old daughter, Neve

Do you predict you're carrying a boy or girl? I learned last time not to predict! I felt pang of disappointment when I was wrong

Are you finding out the gender? Yes, definitely. If I can wait until the 20 week scan, I'll be surprised!

How many months were you TTC? I was more of a "let's see what happens" rather than trying this time. We've been "not not trying" since January, but hubby works away so definitely missed a month or two in there.

Are you on any meds to help support your pregnancy? Just been started on thyroxine. I've had my thyroid monitored since my last pregnancy and haven't ever had to go on medication, but obviously pregnancy has stressed my system a little.


Nice to meet everyone

Yes I'm testing til I get a 3+! Which with a bit of luck will be Monday or Tuesday. I've got great progression on FRER now - test line is now slightly darker than the control line
