[Hope4BFP]

Ok i couldn't resist and just went ahead and tried!! I'm so excited! I used the sonoline b doppler and we found a hb!!! Only for a few seconds at a time and some times it was mixed with my own so it was hard for the Doppler to get a digital read on it. OH and I timed it out to be about 168!
Beth, when you use it look about bikini line area and lay super flat with lots of gel! This truley is an anazing doppler. In case anyone is wondering what to look for, sounds like a little train going down tracks. You'll definitely be able to tell the difference between yours and the baby's.

GREAT NEWS!!! LoL! I remembered with my son that I had to start out lower, but it was a little later in the pregnancy, and with a crap doppler! But thanks for the heads up.. I might have to do a little trimming! LOL! I am supposed to get mine between Thursday and Saturday, so even if I do have to wait, it won't be a really long time. Congrats on the hb!! I'm glad I brought that up today!

I really hope everything goes well tomorrow. You will be on my mind. Please update us when you can. We are here for you. Prayers and good thoughts headed your way.

Good luck with your scan ella bear Im praying everything is as it should be and it will reassure you.

Meaggers thats fab that you found the hb and so early too!!

Beth glad the spotting has stopped and you had some nice family time tonight make sure you take it easy .

Cazi lovely scan pic!

Sharonfruit am thinking of you, hopefully you ov later than you thought.

Just to reassure everyone I have not really had any morning sickness at all and I just don't feel pregnant. But my scan last week showed that everything was perfect so far. I still have a long way to go but it shows you that lack of symptoms doesn't always mean the worst. I have another scan on Friday and I'm praying it's still going well!

Hi all good luck for your scan ellabear.

Yey for finding the H/B Meaggers. I have got that doppler. Think i'll wait until next week before trying.

Hi bumpy good luck for your scan on friday. I'm sure all will be fine.

AFM cold slowly going. Still have the m/s but not quite as bad. I've not been as hungry either but have felt pretty rotted with this cold. My boobs seem to have grown overnight yey!!!

Sharonfruit - i just wanted to reassure you. Your situation is similar to mine, when I had my first scan by LMP I should have been 6+3, but they put me at around 5 weeks. I have to admit I was terrified that something had gone wrong, and I had to wait 2 weeks for a follow up scan. At the follow up I would have been 8+3 by LMP, but there on the screen was a little bean measuring 7+2 with a little heart beating away. It seems that I ovulated late that cycle, and am currently measuring around 8 days behind LMP dates. Fingers crossed that you also ov'd late, and you will see something at your next scan xx

For all of those worrying about lack of symptoms, I know exactly how you feel, in fact I posted a while ago with exactly the same worry. I guess that once you've been thorough a loss, especially a mmc, it's only natural to expect it to happen again, or even to feel that you "know" it's happened already. I have moments where I don't feel pg, and I'm certainly not allowing myself to get excited about it, or daydream about what the future might hold should this pg go full term. PAL is an emotional rollercoaster, and we can only take it one day at a time. If you have concerns contact your doctor or epu to help put your mind at rest.

Ella - good luck with your scan today, I'll be thinking of you and looking out for your update

AFM I have a scan tommorrow where I'll be 9+2 by last scan measurement. I feel quite numb about this one. I'm bracing myself for bad news (as is only natural) but I also know that good news won't reassure me as my last pg ended at 9+3, so even if everythings going well I'll still be worried... Like I said earlier this PAL business is an emotional rollercoaster!!

 

[sharonfruit]

Cb, that's reassuring, thank you. I'm not getting my hopes up though. I've been feeling abdominal pressure all morning, I wouldn't call it cramping yet but it feels heavy down there xxxxx

 

[Tweak0605]

Ella and cb1 - Praying everything goes perfect for your scans!

Meaggers - SO happy to hear you found the heartbeat. I've tried a few times, but can't seem to locate it. I hope I can find it before my scan next week!

Hope everyone else is well. I seem to have horrible indigestion, and it's getting worse. I had a sandwich yesterday, and felt so sick afterwards. I had to leave work early, cause I just felt like I would lose it. I'm very happy to have that feeling though. Next scan is 1 week away, so I'm praying everything is going well.

Hi all hope everyone is well.
Mom2 fingers crossed for your HCG results.

AFM I had my scan today. Everything perfect - baby 14mm which is bang on for 7+5 with a lovely strong HB. I'm on at the moment x

Oh, I'm so happy for your Cazi! And I love your Ultrasound pic!!!

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

I had my scan this morning, according to dates I should be 6w2 but was measuring less than 5 weeks. Have got another scan a week on Friday to see if bean has grown, will be a long couple of weeks but am not really clinging on to any hope x

Oh, Sharon, I'm so sorry. I've been through that and know how hard it is. The ultrasound shows that baby probably won't make it, but you still have a small glimmer of hope. So hard...

Ella - thinking of you and wishing you good luck for your scan!!

AFM - welp, past 2 days I've thrown up in the am, yesterday it was 5 times and today it was 4!! I thought that maybe it was b/c I was drinking so much water at a time (which I do anyway) so I tried to recreate it again this morning about 20 minutes after I got sick: I drank the same amount of water and felt fine so I added my super thick super filling breakfast shake in and ended up with nothing more than a tummy ache...but it did not make me throw up so I'm thinking it's m/s...that and throughout the day I usually drink lots of water at one time and hasn't made me sick yet!! Hope this is a good sign!

On another note, I called my doctor to see about getting in next week and they are so booked up it may be next month!! But having a history of miscarriages really helps so they are going to try and work me in within the next few weeks! Waiting on the phone call now!

i went to the DR today, she took it really seriously and i have a scan tomorrow, i really dont have any hope left at this point. it would be great if i was completely wrong but im preparing for the worst now

I'm very glad that she's giving you an early scan, I pray it brings good news!

Oh, how wonderful! I want one now! How much did you pay for it?

Yay for some MS!!
I can't believe they are so booked up! You waited so long and now they can't get you in! I hope they have an opening pop up soon!

I am so excited right now! Got yesterday's HCG results, 34,881! That's doubling every 92.5 hours!

Last pregnancy at 7 weeks my HCG was less than 6,000. This time its over 34,000 at 6+4!!! Now I can't wait for my ultrasound on Friday, I just know I'm going to see a healthy baby!!

 

[bumpyplease]
