Goodluck hunnie... Hoping everything is all ok

 

[julesjules100]

Good luck missmummymoo!

Julesjules - that's avert reassuring way of putting it, I hope I remember your words when I go in a week and a halfs time!

Yeah, it's so easy for each of us to focus on being convinced it will go badly, when the stats are actually hugely loaded in our favour! Human nature.

I am going to try to focus on that going forward (note, "try"!). x

Got my scan in an hour and I'm so scared x

Good luck!!

Im soooo emotional today... Broke down crying over pinocchio. Cried when my daughter started laughing at me for crying and cried some more about how ridiculous it was that I was crying.....

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Well baby was there and is measuring 5+3 weeks but I know I ovulated either the 14/15/16th August which makes me 5+6/6/6+1 so not far out. Will see when we get our next scan in 2 weeks. She said there was a slight bleed near the sac which is probably where the bleedings coming from. So will find out more In 2 weeks hopefully x

Thats great MissMummyMoo nice and reassuring to see baby. Every scan i've had they have misdated me by a few days.

Ahhh Caseybabey those darn hormones! I think i'm going into a more 'i don't care about anything' zone just due to feeling poorly but i was definately really tearful when I was at your stage it's amazing what makes you cry.

I'm just about to drag myself to the doctors. Am 6 weeks today so need to get it done. Silly really as they don't do anything here just write in your notes and tell you to take folic acid. I just need to go to get referred to the midwife for my booking in appointment. I don't know why but I feel really nervous like a naughty schoolgirl or something. I don't know this doctor either, it's a male locum so he doesn't know my history with hyperemesis. I just hope he understands how to do the paperwork thats my main concern.

I've ordered some sea bands too thanks ladies I will give them a go. I did have them in my first pregnancy and they just annoyed me but I was a lot worse so hopefully they might make a difference this time.

Hope you are all having a good day xxxx

Congrats Jules!
Good luck mommy moo! Let us know how it goes!
Cupcake- if you don't like prunes, you can always try a light stool softener. Always helped me when I was on pain meds in the past.

 

[StefanieC]

i know what you mean about being tearful. I started to cry yesterday because I felt like my DH was more concerned with how our little bean is rather than how i am, it was ridiculous but i couldn't help it.

Major headache-ville this am! I had a horrible sleep last night, tossing and turning and having to pee every hour it seemed! Feeling pretty fatigued today because of that.

I am really excited, I am meeting my potential home birth midwife on Friday!!! Is it okay I feel a bit odd because I haven't even seen a doctor yet? I don't see the intake nurse at my obgyn for another 1.5 weeks. I haven't had this pregnancy confirmed medically, just by POAS and symptoms. Eeeek. So many emotions going on!

 

[Sass827]

Sorry - must not have read all the way to the bottom. Blaming it on baby brain. Congrats on the good scan mummy moo!

That is awesome she did 5 at home births! I really hope I am able to! I am keeping positive I know some midwives will not perform a home birth if you have twins. I was having fertility issues so I had to take Clomid to get pregnant so I have the possibility.

 

[Courtney917]

Got my progesterone results back and they went from 15.9 to 44.5!!!!!! YAY!!

 

[Hann12]

That's great Courtney! I wish I knew what mine were, I asked yo have a test today but they said that if I'm taking cyclogest I will have enough so they won't do it! I hope they are right!

 

[TTCBean]

Wonderful news Courtney!

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks!!! I am on the supplements but still ask to have levels monitored. I am going to ask to have it checked once more before I stop prog at 12 weeks. High levels indicate a healthy pregnancy right? I am so happy things seem good this time around. I am already 7 weeks!!!!! I am sure you are fine, have you always had low levels?

Courtney, I just had my scan this morning and my FS said that we can stop the cyclogest and estrogen patches between week 8 and 9 (previously I had thought it would go to week 12 but he said today that week 8-9 is fine). He also said that once you have seen your 6-7 week scan and all is fine, your pregnancy will be producing way more progesterone/estrogen than the drugs can give you and the placenta takes over around week 8-9 so no need to worry abotu stopping it. x

How did your scan go!?!? I had two scans already, both look good so far. I have another on the 24th and again at 11 weeks. Oh okay, that makes me feel good, so going til the 12th week should be a safe thing then? I am soooo nervous as I have had so many problems with prog (4 losses as a result) so I am a bit of a freak lol.

 

[Hann12]

Courtney not sure if I have low progesterone or not tbh! I had a few cycles since stopping breastfeeding with short Luteal phases which showed low progesterone. I took natural progesterone cream this cycle andy progesterone levels were great at 7 dpo, the fertility dr said it was a coincidence and that the cream would have done nothing as he said the amounts are too small to make a difference and that just putting it on arms legs etc doesn't give a good absorption anyway. So they gave me 2x200mg of cyclogest per day as a precaution until 12 weeks but never actually tested my levels.
You must be so relieved having seen your bean a couple of times and all going well! I hope that's me in a week and a half! Fx!

Really well! In correct place and little blob flashing away. 5.1mm so all on track. Huge relief! Been released from the assisted conception unit now so need to look into consultants this weekend.

I've been doing 1200mg of cyclogest each day. My FS said that I could pull at 8wks but if I felt better then to keep going to 9 or 10 wks, phasing it out by the end of 10 wks. He said there would be no benefit thereafter. If you're nervous about coming off it would they be able to do daily bloods to monitor your prog levels when you do? Xx

Just eaten dinner, we had Lamb, and I ended up nuking it in the microwave as it would not cook through on the hob. DH had his nice and pink and mine was rubbery and pants! And to top it off I finished it 15 mins ago and I'm blooming ravenous again. Glad no ms but I'm going to be the size of a house at this rate!
