Thanks ladies for the lovely comments about the scan... Preethi they dated me as 12w 2d at the scan. so you're right... it looks bigger than an 11 week baby

NDH... I'm keeping everything firmly crossed for you hun... I really hope this is your month!! BFP and your new place would be just perfect!

Sarah I hope you feel better soon hun!

Hope everyone else is good!! xxxxx

ive had some af pains today, slight twinges here and there and a bad back, hope its all the normal uterus stretching pains !

well got a call from the hospital, marcus is not available on the 4th so my scan is on the 3rd, yay, one day closer.. i wasnt able to find the HB yesterday, it was moving around like crazy..


just looking forward to going to the uk for a nice break for 2 weeks, visiting friends and will be taking my doppler for reassurance, hoping i can find the HB then.

to all..

Preethi- is that appointment your 16 week one? We don't get a scan at ours... how come you have a scan for that one? Sorry you are so crampy. That stinks. Are you all ready for your move? Its also too bad you aren't hearing the baby on doppler. When was the last time? I end up finding mine each day. I sometimes have to be patient and try for a while, and sometimes its super easy. I'd be running into the doctors office if I couldnt find it for a day! I so cannot wait until we feel the baby moving in there!

Mummy- nice that they bumped you up in dates! Did lottie come along?

I am starting to feel kind of bad/scared that im the only one who has not been bumped forward in dates at all. As a matter of fact, i was bumped BACK a week at the beginning and not moved forward Im scared.

But, im 14 weeks tomorros

Haha, well, I wish on that last one. Kind of missing my red wine, not gunna lie! Me and OH used to go on nice dates to sushi and have lotsa wine and sushi rolls and maguros and I miss that!

 

[Huggles]

Ny my scan also put me back a week, although i haven't adjusted my ticker to show it. Last time my first two scans each put me back a week but then at 12+6 baby suddenly measured spot on. So i'm sticking with my dates according to LMP.
Don't worry too much about it and congrats on reaching second tri!

 

[nypage1981]

Thanks Huggles! One more day!

My ticker is actually from my scan dates. I didn't ever make one before a few scans so i've always gone by that and not LMP since right away at 7 weeks they put me back to 6. So each 2 scan after that has been right on with the first scan, but still not put forward to match my LMP. Its so scarY!

 

[Huggles]

How long are/were your cycles? Maybe you ov later than the "general" CD 14 which means that you would have implanted later as well, which means baby would be "younger".
I konw I only ov on CD 18 (or 17?) so i think that's why mine generally measures a bit behind.

 

[nypage1981]

I honestly have NO idea when i ovulated for that cycle. I missed it on my opk's and thought that I didn't ovulate. The cycle before that one was around 34-35 days so i suppose i've got kind of a long cycle? I just hope I ovulated really late and that's all it is.

 

[Huggles]

If your cycle was around 34-35 days then you very probably ov'd around CD 20 which would be about a week later than a person with a 28/30 day cycle. And the general way of working out EDD's using LMP is based on a 28 day cycle with CD 14 ov. So if you ov'd a week later you woudl also have implanted a week later which would make baby a week younger! So all perfect!

 

[NDH]

Ny, don't worry about having measured behind an not caught up yet. The important thins is that your bean has consistently been measuring where it ought from the first dating scan, so all is well and normal.

Afm, I think AF will be here in the morning, or some time tomorrow anyway. I can smell her coming, which is weird to say but true. Hoping I'm wrong, but I'm also not holding out much hope of joining you preggos this month... One more April ovulation coming up (ok technically May bu tmy fertile window starts in April next cycle)

 

[nypage1981]

Oh thanks so much girls! This is why I love this thread, for everyone who just makes you feel so much better

Huggles, your timeline does seem to make sense! I think I got my bfp before my af was even due only because I didn't know if I was late yet or not. I have screwy cycles sometimes!

NDH- I sure hope your sense of smell is off then Stay away AF, I really want another bfp on this thread. Good things need to happen to good people !

 

[babyhopes2323]

marcus actually said he would see me in 4 weeks after my 12 week scan. i said that i was travelling on the 6th so would like to be checked before that, and he agreed so i get checked at 15 weeks, and then ive told him that after my trip id like to get checked as well so that would be around the 3rd week or 4th week of may. so that would be around 18 weeks and then 20 weeks.

i suggested getting checked earlier and the docs have no problem after all, they are just giving you a scan and you feel assured about it, as long as the insurance is paying, what do the docs care?

thats how im getting my scan.

ive been having those weird twinges in my abdomen all day and my lower back is killing me seriously. i hope these twinges are normal. they feel like contractions but very slight ones.. very very very slight.. like pulls and pains.. kinda worried, but hope it stops soon !

Mummy, that baby certainly looked 12 weeks and maybe your ticker was still old thats why i was confused. x

 

[babyhopes2323]

i have to go to the doctors tomorrow im experiencing burning sensations down there.. and as ive mentioned we have not dtd at all since finding out, although other things that really does not involve much with anything down there. sorry if tmi... but any time its vaguely touched, even by myself during showers for cleaning or etc, im going through burning sensations and am so worried about an infection. i dont have UTI as ive been tested for it,. but am so worried about anything else i may have.. and they say that any infection you have down there can totally affect the baby.. so i have a 11:30 appointment but not with my doc as their appointment section is closed for the day and its not possible to see marcus tomorrow , id have to book it well in advance.. so im going to this lady near my mums who ive been seeing before and ill take the report down to marcus... im so worried..

 

[nypage1981]

Sorry to hear that preethi. Hope it turns out ok for you. I am sure your baby is being protected in there just fine.

 

[Huggles]

Sorry to hear that babyhopes. Fx'd it's nothing too bad

 

[nypage1981]

Baby, I have read that yeast infection is common in pregnancy....have you had one before? I am not sure the symptoms or how it feels i havent' had one, but this may be it, and all stories i've heard of babies were just fine.

 

[MummyCat]

Mummy- nice that they bumped you up in dates! Did lottie come along?

I am starting to feel kind of bad/scared that im the only one who has not been bumped forward in dates at all. As a matter of fact, i was bumped BACK a week at the beginning and not moved forward Im scared.

Yep she did... she was an angel When I fell pregnant with Lottie I was on 35 day cycles. At my 12 week scan they dated me back a week and all was fine!!

Afm, I think AF will be here in the morning, or some time tomorrow anyway. I can smell her coming, which is weird to say but true. Hoping I'm wrong, but I'm also not holding out much hope of joining you preggos this month... One more April ovulation coming up (ok technically May bu tmy fertile window starts in April next cycle)

Argh... hope your sense of smell is off!


Preethi... I hope you are okay my lovely! let us know how it goes!! xxxx

 

[flyingduster]

ny, I have (had!) 35 day cycles prior to my BFP too, and I charted my temps so I KNOW that I ovulated on CD21. So when I was calculating my dates I used my ov date, NOT my LMP. Every time I used my LMP it would put me a week further along than I knew I possibly could be, cos it was calculating ov at cd14, not cd21! Literally a FULL week difference.

My doc wasn't interested in my ov date, he only wanted to know my LMP, and I TOLD him it'd make your dates wrong though. He said that's ok, scans will show where you are anyway. Ugh. My midwife thankfully listened to me though, and while she had it in her records my LMP (cos that's the only room they have) she believed me that my dates were correct! Actually the hospital where I was getting my scan gave me an initial scan date too early, so i changed it to a later date, they called me back saying no, it'll be too late, you'll be too close to 14 weeks by then. My midwife confirmed to them to believe me and go with my dates, not my LMP, they did, and I was utterly perfectly spot on in the dates! lol!


If I didn't chart my temps though, I'd have NOOOOOOOOO idea when I ov'd, and I'd have had to go with my LMP. My LMP would put me a week further along than the scans would prove though, so I'd have been put back a week too (and never caught up!) it's ONLY because I KNOW when I O'd that I know my dates are right... And I've not been put forwards at all either! lol. My dates are my dates, and I know them without a doubt! lol.


Preethi, I hope all is ok there... I'm sure it is! Let us know how you go!

 

[sherylb]

Yeah, I also O on CD 21 so I know how you feel. My doctor's office seems to understand my dates and be ok with them. Haven't actually been able to see the doctor yet though. I was waiting on Medicaid and it appears I will have to reapply or do something else if DH doesn't hear from this new job he applied for soon.

 

[nypage1981]

Flying- thanks! Yea, I had a feeling I would be put back some from LMP due to my not perfect cycle, guess I just thought I should be moved forward by 12 weeks!

I am just happy to be here so I need to stop finding something to obsess about!

Sheryl- I sure hope our insurance gets figured out soon. You probably have to go in at 10 weeks right? Did you order a doppler?

Hope everyone else is doing well! I am being a lazy "bean holder" today and not into doing much. I fished out a pair of maternity jeans I ordered too soon with my miscarriage and they already fit. Ugh. Cept they're kinda short. So now I need to try and find long length ones. At least Im not restricted to yoga pants anymore!

Ideally ovulation occurs 14 days before AF due date....so it explains why 35 day cycle will have CD21 as ovulation day.
