NOVEMBER 2015 RAINBOWS. Please Join Us!

[Dill]

Thanks, ladies. He was much more reasonable when he came home, and we had a good talk about it. He's still going to spend the money -- I encouraged him to go do his guy thing while it's still an option -- but understands that we need to save!

 

[klsltsp]

THanks em, yeah I have been trying to figure out how I'm going to tell him...

SweetV I'l be curious what yours are since I had mine done yesterday at 4 w 5 days!

Dill good news that you guys had a good chat! You must be feeling soo much better!

 

[SweetV]

Dill - glad to hear you have worked it out somewhat.

klstsp - they came back at 954. Does that not seem kind of high or should I stay off dr. Google? Progesterone was the highest it's every been as well at 76. They still would like to see me on suppositories.

Yep should have waited, freaking out a little

 

[Dill]

You could check your hcg levels against BetaBase's charts to see if you fall within normal ranges for your dates!

 

[klsltsp]

Dill you beat me to it

SweetV those are great! here's the link to betabase.

www.betabase.info/chart/basic/single

The have 842 as the median hcg for 19 dpo ... so your number looks perfect!! mine was 1338 so a little higher but same range! Are you doing another one in 48 hrs? I am...

 

[3chords]

SweetV that is a great beta! kls you as well! You can see my betas in my signature which were drawn at 15 & 24 DPO.

I am feeling a million times better today. Yesterday I was nauseous all day and then developed a migraine in the evening. After sleeping it off I felt better.

Just very mild nausea in short bursts this morning, nothing too bad. Of course that has me thinking, where'd it go?? Always a worry...

 

[SweetV]

Dill and klstsp- it does fall in line with the chart on that website. I feel so much better thank you!! I will get it drawn again in 48 hours but if it is doubling nicely I think I will go back next week.

3chords - glad you're feeling better.

I had to buy a new bra today. My boobs are bulging out of mine. Before I left for the shops I fell asleep on the sofa. I'm feeling very pregnant

 

[SweetV]

girlinyork - I think I need a new bra too! yay for feeling pregnant!!

 

[Dill]

Apparently, only one store in town sells nursing bras. I hate hate hate shopping at that store and avoid it whenever possible -- the parking lot is a death trap. Ugh! But I need to brave it soon, because my cups overfloweth.

 

[SweetV]

With my DS I got away with sports bras for the majority of my pregnancy. I was a lot smaller then though.

 

[klsltsp]

Haha I put on one of my nursing bras yesterday ... soon much more comfortable. .. glad I didn't wait too much longer.. will have to be sneaky though since oh may notice that haha

 

[klsltsp]

Hey ladies!

Hope that you're all doing well!

I just wanted to pop on and say that I just got my 3+!!!!! soo excited, means that my bloodwork should be good fingers crossed, I'm doing my second beta this afternoon.

Kim

 

[Dill]

So jealous, Kim! I still don't understand why my clinic won't even do the blood tests until at least 8 weeks.

 

[klsltsp]

Dill I'm not going to lie.. I'm really lucky... I see an ob because of my complications, he doesn't feel the need for blood tests, just u/s... but my best friend happens to be a family doctor and she asked if I wanted to do bloodwork... so i said YES!! so she ordered it for me

 

[Embo78]

My boobs are giving me major grief too. Particularly the left one!! What is with that

Kls that's brill that you got your 3+. I got my 2-3 today and I'm absolutely over the moon although I've had a really rubbish day. My hormones aren't helping me one little bit. My son fell down the stairs from top to bottom. He's ok thank god but I'm so shaken up. My stomach is in knots, I'm drained actually. Max is running around as normal

 

[Dill]

Nice! I go to a specialty women's clinic and birthing center, and even knowing my history of loss, they won't do even so much as a quant for me at this point. I'll be almost 9 weeks along by the time I go in for my first appointment... so I'll be past the stage where hcg levels out or can drop!

 

[girlinyork]

I took a leap and made my midwife booking appointment today. I'm trying to be positive and behave like this baby is a rainbow. I cant go through the duration miserable again

 

[mrsnorcal]

Hi, Ladies! I hope you don't mind me joining you, my EDD is November 1, 2015.

Just like you all, my husband and I have been through a lot on our journey of trying to have a child. This is our 3rd pregnancy, and we have no living children.

Had a scan today, RE said everything looks good. Said I am measuring at 6w1d (when I know I should be measuring at 6w4d). But she also said that due to the position of the baby, her measurements may be off and told me to come back in 2 weeks for another scan. Of course I am worried now, wish I wasn't! There is just so much at stake here, but I am sure you all know exactly how I am feeling.

I am so glad I found this thread, I can't wait to share our journeys together!

 

[klsltsp]

oh no Em.. glad your son is okay.. congrats on the 2-3!! I know when I saw that I really really relaxed. I got my 2-3 last Thursday and my 3+ today.

Dill your doc sounds like my ob, very relaxed... I see mine at 6+5 for an u/s, just to check that this baby has not implanted on my c-section scar!!

mrs norcal! congrats on your u/s today. I wouldn't worry about 6+1 vs 6+4, they are so small at this age, they always say that the ultrasounds are accuract +/- 6 days. How are you feeling? sorry about your other losses.

girlinyork congrats on making your first apt. I too am choosing to be positive.

I think that if my bloodwork today is good, I may tell OH this weekend... can't decide... he's going to freak out!! I keep expecting him to notice that I haven't had AF yet... but I guess he's not as observant as I thought
