6wk 6days ultrasound tomorrow...nervous

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Don't know if you girls are sick of my worries but I'm starting to feel hopeful, based on my progression with my HPTS about the whole hcg debacle (regardless of what the nurses said). This morning and afternoon are completely different shades... the latter becoming darker. I really think this bean is gonna be sticky.
Here is the recent pic update. I got in for more blood tests tomorrow.

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!

I'll be right there with you. I'm eating huge portions plus a pre-lunch and a pre-dinner! Shocking. Yeah, the no pink meat is tough. I've decided I'm just not even going to eat it now till its all over. I like my steaks medium rare. The idea of well done sounds like eating a boot! X

i wish i had blood tests done so i knew what my levels are, i have nothing until i get my first appointment through the post for either 8weeks or 12weeks i'm not sure which. The doctor just took my word for it and sent off my referral to the midwife. is that normal?

anyone?

Hi Stefanie, I got the same thing. My first appointment is at 8 weeks, and I never had blood tests or anything - they just took my word for it.

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!

I'm on 400 mg as well, so i am sure your levels are high . Yes very relieved until they told me the beats per minute was slightly low at 110. I was oly 5 weeks 6 days and my other doc didn't even think we would see a heartbeat. So if course that made me nervous when my new doc said the heartrate was low. From what I am reading though at the end of week 5/beg of week six the average bpm is 103. Ugh, these doctors are driving me crazy!!!!

 

[Courtney917]

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.

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

YAY!!! Congrats on the heartbeat!!! How many bpm was it? Did they measure it? Yes I am def going to ask to be monitored when I come off the progesterone. I am going to go crazy if I don't lol.

I am freaking out! I was starving while away from home and the only place near my destination was a deli/cafe. I totally forgot about the whole listeria risk with deli meats and scarfed down a ham and cheese sandwich. I feel less ill now that I ate it ( was super faint). I am so worried I will potentially cause harm to my child. are the risks low?

 

[Hann12]

Thanks Courtney, that's reassuring, FX I'm the same as you with high levels!
I have no clue on heart rates, I'd have googled too! I'll let you know what mine is (hopefully) but its not for another 11 days!!

Very low don't worry, is its regular ham then it's definitely fine. It's salami, Parma ham, chorizo that are the worse ones however I read on the nhs site today (think it was that) that you can eat them. I prob won't but I will eat regular ham

The risks are very low. I have eaten lunch meat in previous pregnancies and nothing happened. Don''t worry

Actually he didn't so I feel a bit cheated. He just said "it's nice and fast". Going to register with kings this week and try to arrange a consultant too so between private and nhs hopefully I can get another cheeky scan soon and find our from there! X

 

[TTCBean]

Thank you girls, I feel a lot better. It was just regular black forest ham deli meat, not mixed with anything. Courtney its reassuring that you ate deli meat in other pregnancies and have been fine I just need to be more mindful, I am a newbie at this pregnancy thing and forget the foods that are generally off limits!

 

[julesjules100]

I think the risks are really low too. I have 2 friends one of whom has 3 kids and ate whatever she wanted and the other who has 2 kids and did the same. Think the rules are overly cautious so try not to worry over occasional lapses x
