Hello ladies...had a little scare yesterday...went to the washroom and noticed a small amount of pink tinge so we went to the emerg. They did blood work and checked my hcg levels and they were at 22,000. I have to go back tomorrow for another blood test to make sure they went up from yesterday and get an ultra sound done. I haven't noticed anything else since and I honestly don't know if it came from the front or back but i still panicked.

I will feel much better after the tests tomorrow confirm everything is okay.

Good luck for your tests tomorrow missjenn. I'm sure everything is fine as lots of women spot during pregnancy. Xx

I am 5 weeks and 1 day. Feel super sick and tired, but after a loss I am grateful to have the symptoms as it generally means it's a strong pregnancy.

I have to register with a dr this week and when I do they say it will take 3 weeks to get an appointment with the dr. Once I see the dr they will refer me to the midwife. Such a stupid system, as the dr won't do a scan or blood tests or anything, they'll just give me an info pack and fill out a referral! So goodness knows how many weeks along I'll be before I see the midwife!!!

We're going to book a private scan on 3rd April, I'll be 8 weeks and 5 days by then. It seems like ages away!!! I just want to see that there's a heartbeat!!!

Missjenn, big

berniegroves, I understand just wanting a heartbeat. Won't see a doctor or get a scan until April 1. Feels so far away.

I love every symptom coming my way. My family has been so wonderful too. They text me every day with "grow apple seed. GROW!" I just hope that this LO responds accordingly

Hi ladies,
Hows everyone feeling today?
Jenn-Let us know how your blood tests go, Im sure thats soooo scary

Long weekend for me, Im kind of glad to be back at work lol, tired though.
So I had a legitimate breakdown on Friday and had to call my mom I spent most of the day crying and Im not even sure why! I was so tired and tired of being nauseous and tired and having to be at work...I dont know how people do this, Im not that strong!
Mom made everything better telling me things will get better in a few weeks and try not to stress because chances are everything fine with my little sweet pea. And only 2 more days until my first appointment FX for a fast couple of days.

Hey guys, my ultra sound this morning showed that everything is fine...thank god! My babies heart is beating 114 bpm! So relieved!

 

[AnnaSaRa]

Amazing news missjenn! Soo happy to hear that

Hiya, I'm a November sparkler! Got my BFP on Friday 8 March. This is our second baby. We fell on the first cycle this time, but I think Mother Nature is making it up to us as she made us wait so long for our first! We were TTC for 20 months, I was taking clomid and about to be referred for IVF. We're so happy it was so fast this time.
Zero symptoms! Well, maybe a niggle of back pain. Both families were very excited when we told them (we told them in case anything goes wrong as I would want support).
Oh, I am 33 and DH is 36.

Welcome & Congrats!!!! So glad it was a quick process this time around When is your first appt?

 

[Tarkwa]

Thursday 11 April. I'll be about 8.5w which is when they recommend you booking in. Scan won't be until around 12w. This is all on the NHS so free. You can get scans earlier if you pay for them but you have to go private.

Oh Missjenn I am so happy to hear everything is ok with you and baby!! I read a statistic that once you see the sack and hear a heart beat you are way less likely to m/c so yayyyy!!!! I am anxiously awaiting my 8 week scan on March 28 The days could not go any slower!! I am having a difficult time with how tired I am! I was not this tired with my daughter that I remember...it could just be that when I was pg with her I could have a nap whenever I wanted or go to bed at 6 pm if I wanted...now I can't cuz I have to be a mommy!! How is everyone doing today??

 

[missjenn]

I like hearing that!!!

Jen - I didnt get to physically hear it....they used a vaginal ultra sound to read/ measure the heart beat....so it was just the machine reading it...but either way...I'm just happy to know there is a little heart beating...with a healthy beat...they didnt even bother doing the followup blood test because everything in the US was great. phewwwwwww Now to just not go crazy until my April 9th appointment...

I will be celebrating when Im at the 3 month work....so much worry...
