Morning ladies, hope you're all well!

Becca: I'm so so sorry to hear your news...thinking of you in your difficult time, and I hope you have the strength and courage to try again...I have every faith that rainbow baby is just around the corner xx

I've attached a piccie of my tests (Just for your amusement to tide you over!)...all FRER apart from the bottom two, which are normal first response with sensitivity of 100...I'm guessing because I've got a dark line on those, my pregnancy is so far ok? I'm still getting 2-3 on my CBD, but I'm trying not to stress out about that because I ovulated slightly later this month so my dates may be a bit out?

SYMPTOMS SO FAR: Fatigue, sore boobs (One day not so sore, next day they kill!), bloatedness, constipation followed by the opposite day in/day out! No morning sickness, but feel slightly queasy when I'm eating certain foods

Got my first doctors appointment this evening at 6:30pm to confirm my pregnancy and hopefully get the ball rolling in terms of widwife etc, and got my early scan booked for the 19th September at 4pm, so fingers crossed everything goes ok till then!

I feel like I'm constantly trying to convince myself everything is always going to be ok since the mc last time...I guess because of my tests, no cramping and no spotting/bleeding since last AF, I should be breathing a sigh of relief that everything so far is ok? Do you think the doctors will be able to ease my concerns that everything is as it should be?x

You know im the same as you. Ive been comparing my situation now to the cycle I had the ectopic and have been telling myself as that i have a different ballgame going on this time its ok.

I reckon it is though fine for us to breath a sigh of relief. Every pregnancy is different so what happened to us then was then and this is now. Different circumstances and different pregnancy...these will be fine! x

Forgot to add piccie

Those lines look awesome! Much darker than anything I've gotten.

Also remember that each test has a little more, a little less dye and you pee could be a little more or a little less hydrated.

But I'm the same way, I pee on everything [like a dog] and then sit and stare and analyze each and every little stick until I'm convinced that I'm losing it or it's sticking.

The test line looks darker than the control line in some of those! I think they look great.

Fx for you becca. I hope it turns out ok. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.
My super strange dream last night was that I had my baby and. We were hanging out with the "real housewives of new jersey" in Belguim, aka totally inappropriate place to bring a baby. so odd!
So apparently for these Chinese predictors, you need you Chinese age and your Chinese month of conception in which I'm apparently 32 and conceived in December. Lol - I'm 30 and conceived in august. But I like it bc when I put in 32 and December, I get a boy! Which we all know I really need. I hope everyone feels great today! Happy labor day!

Those Chinese gender predictors are cool, but I found like six different ones online. Half of them said boy, half of them said girl (regardless of whether they corrected for the lunar calendar or not). They all looked so different!

Maybe it's twins and you're having one of each lol!

Ugh had one spot of pink last night when I wiped. Nothing since then. I'm so nervous. The same thing happened 2 days ago. It's only once and never comes back. I hope this isn't the beginning of the end.

 

[Hann12]

Just catching up with this thread after only joining today.

Becca - I hope its not a m/c - I have heard that some women do actually bleed in pregnancy so I hope that its just that. FX and thinking of you.

lpjkp - great lines on the preg tests! I've only done a few IC's but tomorrow I'm doing a CB digi, I'm only 10dpo so its early days still. Still getting a bit of implantation cm.

I loved the chinese predictors when I was expecting my DD - they all said girl for me and thats what I had! I'm not even looking at them until I see the words 'pregnant' tomorrow. At least thats what I hope i'll see!
I saw a fertility consultant today and he wants to scan me in 2 weeks so have that all booked in. Also been given progesterone supplements.
Just hoping its a sticky bean!

Could just be the Egg bedding further into your uterus. I've had browny cm a bit today - but IB only yesterday so assume its all implantation related. Mine comes after a load of cramping. Its horrible because it feels like AF is about to start! I think thats normal though...

 

[Courtney917]

It's so nerve stacking. Could it be implantation even though I'm close to 6 weeks?

 

[jtink28]

so i promise, i'm not testing anymore....
i just wanted to see the test line darker than the control....i am silly.
i haven't tested in a week..for a poas addict, i really held out!

i don't have any m/s yet - my boobs hurt like crazy, and i'm tired, that's all. but seeing that super dark line made me think, hey, maybe i do have a baby in there somewhere...

 

[jtink28]

becca, i really hope it wasn't a m/c. i am keeping my fx for you, and thinking of you, love.

courtney, i've heard that spotting in the first trimester can be totally normal. i guess it happens all the time - my bff had spotting all through her pregnancy, and has a healthy 2 year old! i'm sure it's nothing!!!

So I've come back from my doctor appointment feeling really sad...my doctor, to be honest, was a complete douchebag and seemed to go out of his way to make me feel less reassured and like the pregnancy will fail...he said:

-He didn't confirm my pregnancy/ask how I'd tested/when I'd tested

-He told me 25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, so It's still a likely possibility even though I've not had cramping/bleeding etc

-He doesn't really care that I had the mc before ("Every pregnancy is different"-err, tell that to the many women with recurrent mcs) so won't be doing anything to reassure me

-Not to bother going for the early private scan because "The rays damage the cells and make you miscarry the baby" and it's not worth it anyway because all I'll see is a "dot"

-That my pregnancy is not likely to go well because, even though I've got all "secondary symptoms" (I.e. sore boobs, fatigue) only morning sickness and vomiting tells you the pregnancy will be ok

-I won't get to see the midwife to book in until at least 10 weeks

-I shouldn't be offered any early scans etc "because you're only 22"

I've been left feeling a little upset, like this pregnancy will be doomed and I'm only just starting I could cry and wish I'd never gone, because at least I was happily pregnant before it...now I just feel like a ticking timebomb...

DO NOT go back to that doctor. your pregnancy is not going to fail, love!!
i don't have morning sickness yet, either. my mom didn't get it until she was 8 weeks along, and she has 5 healthy children.
WHAT A JERK!!! get a new doctor asap!!!

 

[jtink28]

also remember - if 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriages, then 75% end in healthy babies!!! i like 75% way more!!!!
that doc is a negative nancy, and will only make you stressed/upset throughout your pregnancy. get a new one!!!!

 

[lpjkp]

I definitely think I'm going to...does it matter if I change now he's referred me to the midwife?

I guess baby's reassuring me for now because I'm sat here feeling a little down and he/she is saying "I'm still here" in the unconventional way of giving me stabbing pains in my boobs lol...I guess I'll have to trust mother nature and definitely see the whole glass half full scenario...I have no reason to believe that I won't be ok, so I WILL BE HOLDING THAT BABY IN MAY.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

That doctor sounds terrible!!

Poor you. Definitely don't go back to see him sweetie.

Please don't let some mean, miserable ******* make you feel upset. Xxxx

You've more chance of having a healthy pregnancy than a miscarriage. Xxxx

 

[Hann12]

That Dr is awful - you are fine - you know your body better!
Plus the 25% miscarriages - a lot of that are the chemical ones that don't implant. To be fair though my fertility consultant made me worry too - I think they are made to make you worry! I just decided to eat well (while I can), do light exercise and trust my body that it can do this. Thats all we can really do. FX we are all okay!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

OMG stay completely away from that doctor!!!! he doesnt know what the hell hes talking about.

Yes some pregnancies end early etc but there is plenty that dont..

Not every woman gets morning sickness, i never did with my boys and there 5 and 7 years old!!!

If you got a scan at 6 weeks, that should technically pick up a heartbeat..

With regards to scans, WTF... there is no scientific research to suggest that a scan causes harm or not... but i would see the benefits of having a scan out weighing anything negative!

Your age has nothing to do with anything.... what a complete and utter TWAT he is...

Booking in appointment sounds about right though, so thats maybes the one and only thing he said thats actually true...

If your not happy always seek second oppinion

 

[Babee_Bugs]

evening ladies, ive had a rubbish day today.... most of the day ive had a horrible dull pain in my lower abdomen on the righthandside roughly where ovary is...

So knicker watching has been my number one priority... No idea what the hell that was, as it seems to of died down now... i shall be mentioning it to my midwife on wednesday!

 

[stuckinoki]

Omg. I would have asked to see his practice license. The doctor sounds like an idiot.

You're not doomed love.

Chin up, find a new doctor, and I'd you see that one on the street, step on his balls.
