Thanks Lyns. It is still such a worry though. I can't wait until I am far enough on to be able to get a scan.
How are things with you? Any closer to ov yet? How is Pete doing with his health problems? I hope you can come and join us all soon in the pregnancy section. Happy to stay here just now though if that's ok.

Fantastic news Lalar!

 

[LalaR]

Still nervous wishn. Got small amount of very pale coloured discharge again and am having discomfort in my uterus. Hoping it's not a MC happening now. My progesterone levels were lower than I think they should be but EPAC said they don't treat low progesterone. Scan booked for 3rd may. I hope the bean will still be around for it.

How are things with you?

 

[wishnhoping]

I am doing ok thank you for asking....DH is still ahving a lot of issues and I have found out (after researching) that his meds ar what are lowering his sex drive and essentially making him unable to perform...obviously without sex there is no baby so we are jsut taking it as it comes right now. I still log in all the time to check up on friends I have made and most are already pregnant. Its very exciting and disheartning at the same time.

I know its easier said than done but your best bet is to relax...the stress of you worrying wont be good for the bean! Please keep us posted I love checking in with you all

 

[holywoodmum]

Hello hello hello! I have survived almost a whole week in Germany!
Lala, so pleased to here those numbers are doubling And good luck for you scan, you'd be nearly 7 weeks then?
Lyns, a week til your blood test - and this will tell if you're ovulating or not? FX this brings some answers for you
Wishn, sorry to hear that about his meds - isn't great that all the health professionals left you to work that out yourself?!! (grrr)
How are you calista?
PRegnancy wise, I seem to be fine 20/21 weeks now (wow!) and I am meeting a german mw tomorrow

 

[LalaR]

Hi guys.
Wishn - sorry to hear what has been happening with your DH. Do you plan to go to the docs to see if his meds could be reduced or changed? I hope he is on the mend now.
Lucy - glad you are surviving in Germany. I don't know why but the thought of a German MW slightly scares me!! Are the kids doing ok with the new language? How about you?
I'm ok today. HCG up to 3037 so I am stressing less. It is such a strange thought to think that there is a new life growing inside me!! Roll on 2 weeks today and my reassurance scan at 6+6 weeks.
Lyns - I hope you have ov'd. Good luck with the BDing!

 

[wishnhoping]

DH is off one of the meds and it already seems to be helping. He wanted to BD for the first time in FOREVER....hoping this continues

 

[holywoodmum]

C seems to have enjoyed first week at kindergarten here. B and I will be a bit at a.loose end next week.
MW was lovely, seeing her next week for actual antenatal check up

 

[LalaR]

Hi girls,
Just checking in to see how everyone is doing.
One day off 6 weeks here and still scared. Ongoing brown discharge, although not a lot of it. Decided to go for a private scan on Sat - only £35 so think it will be a reassurance for me to see something. Blood levels went up to over 10,000 on mon which is a positive sign.

[PrincessTaz]

Awwww Lala I'm so pleased everything is going well, and remember lots of women get spotting throughout their 1st-tri but I can understand how it would make you worry after everything you've been through. A private scan will deffo ease your worries, I had one too to put my mind at ease xx

How's everyone else?

Babydea hows to clomid going? Hope you didn't get any of the nasty side effects xx

 

[holywoodmum]

lala, that's great! Hope all well at scan - when would your early scan have been otherwise, will you still get it too?!

 

[LalaR]

Thanks Lucy. Private scan sat at 6+1 weeks but I still get my epac scan at 6+6 weeks. I don't plan on telling them I have paid for the private one. There probably won't be much to see on Saturday but I will take whatever I can get!! Hopefully by next Thursday there will be more to be seen. Feeling better today. I am having these awful mood swings where I get terrified that something bad is going to happen and almost have a panic attack. Can't be good for the baby!!! I really really hope that all is well.
How is Germany? Have you had your proper midwife appointment yet? Does she speak English or are you having to speak German?

 

[holywoodmum]

THe midwife speaks great English! SHe's lovely actually Had a check up on Tuesday and all well, just bloody SPD now which is agony and the landscape of hills and buildings with steps but no liftsis not helping

Hey Taz, nice to see you in here. how have u been?

Clomid hasnt done nothing for me this cycle. i know i havent o and the blood test will confirm that for sure. no sides affect no sign of o. so next month i really really really hope that taking 100mg will do the trick! other wize i really dont no what else to do!

to make things worse, i have a ears,nose &throat infection so all my glands are swollen, got a lovely cough and feel like crap. so cant wait for next week to roll on so i can get this month over with

Hope you all have a nice weekend x

 

[lola_90]

Hope the scan goes well today lala

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

Found out this week that we are team will post a scan pic soon

xx

 

[LalaR]

Scan went well. Saw yolk sac but not able to see heartbeat yet. Think my excess fat didn't help!! The specialist was quite optimistic and is going to rescan me next Saturday for no extra cost. Photo pretty poor at this stage but at least I know that there is definitely still something in there!!

Sorry the clomid has not worked yet lyns. Hopefully it will do the job next month.

Congratulations Lola on joining team blue!! Not sure but I think I will wait and not find out the sex until baby arrives.

 

[holywoodmum]

Congrats on team blue lola

Lala, glad the scan went well

 

[Jess19]

hi lynsey how are you doing??

I'm going to start clomid next cycle, maybe we can be clomid cycle buddies!

 

[holywoodmum]

Lindsay did you have your bloods done yet?
Lala how are you doing?
Calista, how's the thyroid?
I'm vegatating for as long as B will let me, I'm on laptop and she's happily scrambling over furniture.
We'll probably go to mums and tots this morning, it's miles away, but has lot of nice toys for the wee one to play with, better than being stuck at home. THen I want to get us registered with a doctor, BEFORE any of us get sick! (plus B needs her movicol and i need my thyroxine, so we will need a doc sooner rather than later!)

 

[LalaR]

Hi guys.
Doing ok here today. Had an up and down day yesterday. Went to EPAC for my early scan which was not the most positive experience and left me more frustrated than relieved. The midwife tried to say that I am only 5 1/2 weeks - even before scanning me. This was based on the fact that at 10dpo my HPT was not a strong positive. Now I am not sure if beanie is much smaller than it should be or if the MW was talking rubbish. Private rescan tomorrow so hoping things will be better there.
Feeling quite nauseous most of the day but worse in the mornings. I keep telling myself it is a good sign.
How is everyone else doing?
