Hi Sugger

Due to my previous loss in August last year (severe abnormalities found at 12 weeks scan - advised to terminate. Later found to be Edwards Syndrome) I am super anxious about this pregnancy and totally with you. If it's any comfort, our due dates are a day apart so we are very much on this journey together!

When I was going through genetic testing with specialist consultants, they assured me I would have early scans for my next pregnancy. Now that pregnancy has occurred, it doesn't seem to be an option! I don't like to complain as I know we are so lucky to have the NHS. But anyway - I cannot wait that long so I have booked a private scan this Sunday. They won't be able to tell me if there are any abnormalities but at least knowing that baby is in the right place and has a heartbeat would be enough for now.

Is this an option for you? I don't know what country you are in - I am in the UK and using a company called 'Window to the Womb' and the scan is costing me £79.

Hello sweety bless your heart. Thank you so much for replying.
I've been really upsett today because I spoke to my doctors surgery and I was told that it's very doubtful I will get a scan b4 12 weeks. They said that when I have my booking appointment with the midwife on Wednesday that she may decide to request a scan but it's very unlikely b4 12 weeks urghhh. Another 5 weeks away.

We have been thinking of booking a privet scan and was going to book one for Friday. It's £90 so very expensive. Sadly cudnt go ahead and book it because they wanted a £30 deposit and we don't have any money in the bank. But the place they do it is rite near where we live so we were thinking of popping in there tommorow with cash in hand to see if they can book it that way. It is very expensive but I just want to know that baby is in the right place and has a strong heartbeat. I'm in UK as well and we are so blessed to have the NHS but boy do they make you wait lol.
I really believe that little one ure carrying how is gonna be just fine hon.
Sending huge hugs.
 
Good luck Brittney with ure scan tommorow I can't wait to see pics.
I may be booking a privet scan maybe for Friday it's expensive £90 but I spoke to my doctors surgery today and was told it's very unlikely I'll have a scan b4 12 weeks.
Ive been litualy so upsett today but hoping to book this privet scan. I'm so scared just praying everything will be ok
 
Nolimitxox, have the brown spotting stopped?

Also ladies, I'm really curious on this what was your hcg levels with this pregnancy and prior if you have them. I just can't help but think my numbers are higher than normal for me and I can't shake twins. No I do not want twins, I barely managed to wrap my head around another single baby. I don't know if I can deal with twins. I go for a scan on Friday.

Claire: 8 DPO 11.7 , 13 DPO 197
Logan: 11 DPO 28, 13 DPO 88.7, 18 DPO 607
This pregnancy: 11 DPO 119, 13 DPO 360, 15 DPO 859
 
Butterfly I’ve heard HCG levels aren’t necessarily indicative of twins, however those who have had high HCG levels and ended up with twins seemed to have REALLY high levels. Yours look pretty normal, you probably just implanted earlier than normal which makes your levels look higher. But like the women I’ve seen have HCG levels into the thousands very very early on.
Anyhow who knows! When is your scan?

I didn't implant any earlier than I did with my two successful pregnancies. Claire was 3 DPO I'm fairly certain due to the symptoms I had and the very early pregnancy test. Logan was 5 DPO, and I'm fairly certain this one was 4 DPO. So it fits in with it. (Anytime I was pregnant I knew exactly when, and my charts with Claire and Logan backed me up on it).
I had someone in my mama group that just had twins and my numbers this go around match hers. So that's why I'm a bit anxious too since mine this time are higher than my last two successful ones.
And it's Friday at 9:30AM so less than 48 hours woot. I like that it's nice and early Friday, I drop off Claire and then go pick up my husband from work and go.
 
Butterfly - well that would be cool if you do end up with twins! I mean, overwhelming I’m sure haha. Exciting for Friday’s scan! Will be curious to see what it says :)

Right XD I even try to see if there is any possible way I could be further but at max I was 16 DPO time of the last beta. We weren't trying at all, I should have been on my period the next day after we had sex...apparently due to my symptoms I O'd instead. So even if I did O the day of sex that would put me at the time of draws at 12/14/16 instead of 11/13/15. But again due to my symptoms fairly certain I O'd the day after :/ I wasn't amused seeing that instead of AF X'D Come that following Friday I just knew but was in total denial but I went peeing on a stick crazy again and got a faint positive 10 days after sex and pretty sure I would have gotten a positive at 9 days after but I skipped that day of testing.

I took the morning after pill within 12 hours after the only time I had unprotected sex last month and got pregnant haha! When I found out I was very shocked and was convinced my period was coming due to sore boobs and insane cramps but nope this little baby was determined haha. I’m so excited now though! I know how it feels to be in denial lol
 
So 7 weeks tomorrow and my sickness has pretty much disappeared. Cue the worrying but I’m sure all is fine! Scan on Tuesday! Hope all is well!

The spotting is still tinging my liner with my medication. Still brown but no more clots so I hope it goes away over night. As far as hcg your numbers for this pregnancy are nearly identical to mine and they are 90% sure we're looking at a Singleton. Our scan next week will confirm, but the tech seemed positive about it being just one strong little baby. Hope that helps :)

Welcome to the early pregnancy madness :haha: were glad you could make it!

Very thankful for everyone's responses and experiences. It's very helpful to not feel alone with the fear and anxiety of early pregnancy and I'm happy we have ladies from all walks here (first pregnancy, second or third, naturally conceived, IVF conceived, donor conceived, conception after loss, older and younger mother's, and the list goes on). Everyone here has been so kind and helpful I hope you find it that way too.

Can we add my name to Oct 28th? That's my EDD. :)
 
Welcome new bfpers!

Sorry everyone is feeling unwell and dealing with all these first trimester symptoms. Hopefully they’ll start to ease up soon enough and not follow us into second tri.

Afm, just checking in. I’m 9 weeks today :happydance: 26 days until my nt scan!
 
Hi ladies
So I've booked a privet scan as there's no way I can wait another 5 weeks.
It's in 3 hours and I'm so excited but also scared.
Do you think everything is going to be ok?
I'm crapping myself.
Please be ok baby please have a strong beating heart [-o<
 
1 hour and 10 mins ago I'm soooo nervous ladies
