Over 30 & still trying for baby #1

[MrsDuck]

I was 6 +3 at my last scan and there was a clearly visible heartbeat. I'll post a pic. I'll be 10 + 4 this time so hopefully much more to see

It's awonder that's fantastic news, your next scan is the same day as mine I'm glad they are looking after you, I'm really pleased for you

Flou I'm sorry to hear about dhs grandmother, I've only got one grandparent left
I hope your specialist appointment goes really well, will they book you in for the next round of IVF at this appointment too?

We haven't tried ivf. We were trying for just over a year when we went to the gp. He did blood tests proved i was O'ing and DH had a SA which was fine. Got referred to specialist but got a bfp. The day after i mc i got an appt through. We postponed a bit only to be told to come back in a year. Its nearly been a year since the mc so im going to ask to be referred again. There are more tests they can do to see if there is a reason why it takes us longer than usual to conceive.

I love your scan pic and im glad that your pregnancy seems to be going well. I bet your anxious to get past the 12 week mark!

Flou - so sorry about DH's grandmother. I know eventually they all have to go but it's so hard to say goodbye. It's been years since my last grandparent passed but I still think about them everyday.

Hope things go well w/ the specialist or that you find out you are pg before your appointment!

Had my scan today and I have a blip!! The internal probe was broken so we just did an abdominal scan. We were all nervous we would not be able to see anything but there is an 8mm sac. Have another scan scheduled in 1 1/2 weeks (one week from Thursday) to look for a yolk and hopefully fetal pole.

Also had HCG tested today and will go back this Wed and next Monday.

That's great news! I bet that was exciting! Glad all seems well so far. Fxd!

I am second guessing myself - maybe he said we won't "hear" the heartbeat. Instead we will just see a flicker. That makes a lot more sense.

Can't believe you will be 10+4!!! So exciting!

 

[MrsDuck]

Flou I hope the same thing happens again and you get a bfp before the referral comes through

Yup 12 weeks can't come quickly enough

 

[ItsAWonder]

Flou - I had forgotten that they told you to come back in 1 year. It's tough - sometimes I want them to find an answer so I have something to treat, other times I am glad there is nothing wrong. Frustrating either way.

I do hope this appointment helps move you forward to your goal!

Yay for scans showing blobs and flickers and what-not! Very exciting.

flou, I'm sure your DH's grandmother is looking after your baby. That's a really nice thought. Big hugs.

Beautiful pic mrs duck!

Had my appointment. Booked in for round 3 ivf at the end of nov when I get AF. Looking fwd to it. They are going to increase my drug doses which puts me at higher risk of hyperstimulation but I really don't care, would do anything to get pregnant again!

 

[MrsDuck]

High hopes that's great, I've got everything crossed that its third time lucky for you

 

[ItsAWonder]

Good luck Highhopes!!! I am wishing you third time luck as well.

Hyperstimulation - does this mean you have a higher chance of multiples?

 

[MrsDuck]

I was going to ask that too??

Itsawonder I'm loving your ticker

 

[flou]

Good luck high hopes! I hope its third time lucky for you.

 

[MellyH]

Good luck Highhopes!!! I am wishing you third time luck as well.

Hyperstimulation - does this mean you have a higher chance of multiples?

Since with IVF they are fertilizing eggs and putting them back in, I think the chance of multiples relies on how many eggs they put in, right?

Itsawonder did you go to the doctor today?

Highhopes thinking of you and crossing my fingers!

 

[Buttrflyl553]

For some reason I can't see itsawonder's ticker...wonder why

 

[MrsDuck]

Not sure buttrfly can you see mine? They are the same, I can see both

 

[MrsDuck]

It's next week buttrfly

 

[ItsAWonder]

Buttrfly - I did get a blood draw yesterday but I just go to the lab for that. Will go again on Sunday and have my next scan on week from today! The time cannot go by fast enough!

 

[MellyH]

I can see both tickers! And they're both wonderful.

Good luck for next week! Happy dance!!
