October 2018 Bumpkins!

[Haylee.]

I booked my scan for 7 weeks Blo. It's in 5 days so I can let you know how it goes if you like.

Congrats and welcome TTC74!

Fab news about your tests Ruskie

 

[RedRose19]

I had two follicles before my trigger so high chance of twins for me.. first scan Tuesday nervous!

 

[LuvallmyH]

No history of twins here, thankfully!
The next few weeks are going to be very exciting around here with all the scans!

 

[Haylee.]

Wow that's exciting Redrose!! I can't wait to hear your update! I have two boys too, part of me is really hoping for a little princess this time but my chances are slim to none. So many boys in the family x

 

[TTC74]

So jealous of all the scans. I can’t even get betas until later in the week!

I have three girls. So, I’m definitely routing for team this time!

 

[Ruskiegirl]

That's awesome RedRose let us know how the scan goes

 

[brieri1]

No scans for me, so nothing until 12 weeks when we have our first appointment with the midwife and get to hear the heartbeat.

Kinda jealous of you all getting scans haha! My 1st appt is over a month away and no scan lol. I put on maternity jeans today lol! Feel silly but my regular jeans are so uncomfortable right now!

Welcome TTC!!

Welcome TTC!!

Relating to the jealousy!

And, yeah. Early pregnancy bloating is a killer!

 

[tankel]

Yep my 1st appointment isn’t until I’m 12 wks. Also I don’t get a scan. Just one listen with the Doppler

 

[missielibra]

Wow ladies! Cannot wait to see all these scans! I'm one of the envious as well, no scan until 12+2! 5+6 to go! Hahaha...

Blo, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. Maybe he was having an off today? Not that it's any excuse of course... Maybe... hmm, can you keep him for a bit and then switch? Have him long enough for your test and maybe go to someone else? Or do a little of both?

Twins! I would be excited for that! There are twins in my family, but... well, if it is two, I won't know for a long time!

I'm so glad to hear early pregnancy bloat is plaguing others. I keep thinking, okay, it's kind of early to not fit in my jeans, and it's not like my weight changed much... but anytime I eat my stomach just BOOM. haha. I want preggers clothes, haha.

 

[lomelindi17]

Blo i was thinking there must be other doctors on the public system that speak english. it might take a little searching but I'm sure there must be some. I don't know how it works there though. I'd keep this guy until you find a different one, but it'd be a shame to have your birth with someone you don't trust. Good luck

 

[lomelindi17]

Ugh heavier spotting today, and what looked like a clot. Hope everything is ok. Really hope i get my test results tomorrow Anyone have this with their 2nd? I had only 1 day of very slight spotting with my daughter and nothing at all after that.

 

[kiki28]

Had the private scan yesterday! All looks really good i'll try and get a picture on here somehow - saw a little blob with a lovely beating heart! I'm measuring 6 weeks 1 day - by my cycle dates I should have been 7 weeks but they said not to worry on that front I probably ovulated/conceived a bit later than I thought. The bleeding is probably down to implantation and also that fact that the plancenta is forming quite low - again nothing to worry about at this stage. They have given me a due date of 13th October which is the same as what my sons was 4 years ago!

I'm so over the moon that everything seems to be going ok and progressing as it should! I've got midwife next week and then I've got to wait for the NHS scan at 12 weeks for confirmation of the dates etc!

 

[Bloblo]

Scheduled my first ultrasound for 6w6d (26th of Feb). I think this is the longest that I can possibly wait without losing my mind

With my mc, i had 2 ultrasounds (one at 5w2d where all looked fine, and one at 7w2d where doctor looked worried) and never saw the heartbeat. So just keeping my fingers crossed and my thoughts positive.

 

[Bloblo]

As for my terrible doctor... I still haven't really decided what to do about it. Will see how my scan goes and decide what to do then. In the meantime I did book with a different (private) doctor for 5 March, but might cancel it, will see... (my pregnancy mood swings are not helping me with making decisions)

 

[Bloblo]

Lomelindi - let us know how your results are!

Worried out of my mind. Took a first signal last night. I thought it might look lighter. This morning, I took a digi that said not pregnant. I think I should have an Hcg of 25+. Then, I googled the fact that the digi is expired and learned that it does matter when the test is expired. So, on my way to Walmart to get another first signal to compare to yesterday’s fmu first signal. Will update soon.

 

[TTC74]

Deep breaths. It’s darker. I called my OB. Maybe she’ll get me in.

 

[Bloblo]

Ttc, i know its impossible to not stress, but hpt are really bad for progression (even the expensive ones), they might work well for progression for about 60% of people... Mine also took a dip on one of my tests - there are just too many variables to take into account for line darkness.
Most digi's are 40mlU, and for sure all expired tests are invalid!
Keeping fingers crossed for you, take another test to calm down and keep us updated
