Over 30 & still trying for baby #1

[MrsDuck]

Is anyone close to testing?

AF is due next Tuesday the 15th for me so I may test around then if no AF.
Mrsduck what is the time difference where you are from the U.S.? Sorry I wasn't certain.

 

[MrsDuck]

It's now 2.50pm here

I've got everything crossed for you girls

Buttrfly - the 15th is not far away. Good luck!!!

And good luck to anyone testing soon. I hope this group is filled with BFPs in the next few months.

Mrs. Duck - good luck with your scan tomorrow! It will be amazing to hear the heartbeat and see your little one moving all around. What a joy!

Im in the tww but got just under 2 weeks before testing. Im not sure what's worse, waiting to O or waiting for AF or not.

My doctors office just called to move my appointment time on Thursday - it's earlier which is great. I asked if the internal probe is fixed and the said it will be months before that's done b/c it's so expensive, so they are going to do an abdominal scan.

There is no way we will see anything but an empty sac so now I am terrified!! I have to know that there is growth in there or what is the point?

I think, if we don't see anything, I am going to demand a diagnostic u/s at the hospital. I can't wait longer than Thursday to know if my baby is growing. His office is in the hospital too so why can't he just borrow a scanner from another department???

I am excited to hear all the happy scan news. Please post some pics if you get some!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw itsawonder that's rubbish, I agree there is no way you'll see anything from an abdominal scan I'm not even sure I'll have an abdominal scan tomorrow. They are just going to cause you worry

 

[highhopes2013]

Can't believe they are suggesting an abdominal scan itsawonder! Can you try to push for an internal one somehow? An abdominal one won't show anything and will just stress u out! I had a 6 week internal scan and saw the heartbeat...that's what you need!

 

[ItsAWonder]

Their internal probe is broken and I guess it's the only one they have. As an Ob/Gyn (and 1 of only 2 in our area) you would think he would immediately invest in a new one but I guess it costs thousands of dollars. They don't seem to think it's a problem at all and the doc even said we should see a fetal pole and heart flicker but I used to perform scans and know we won't see anything.

His office is in the hospital. If we don't see anything I am going to request that he send me to radiology for a diagnostic internal scan. I am sure he can code it in a way that insurance will cover it. Since I have met my deductible for the year insurance will cover everything through December 31.

I just don't know what else to do but I do know that the stress I am feeling is not healthy. I need to just let it go and see what happens on Thursday. My husband will back me and I will ask him to help demand an internal scan so I don't back down.

 

[MellyH]

Fingers crossed they send you for the diagnostic internal without any fuss.

 

[Buttrflyl553]

Itsawonder I really hope that tomorrow they can figure this out and give you a proper scan!

Good luck today mrsduck!

Fingers crossed for you in TWW flou!

Hi ladies all went great with my scan, I saw baby wriggling away but my pics aren't very good coz I couldn't hold my pee any more I thought I was going to burst. They have put me forward a bit baby is measuring 11 +2 so need to change my ticker. I'm going back in a week for the proper 12 week dating scan so I get to see baby again next week

It's awonder I can't wait for your good news tomorrow too

 

[ItsAWonder]

Mrs Duck - that is wonderful news!!!! I am so happy for you! Just think - you will be in second trimester soon and will be able to tell people that you are pregnant

 

[MrsDuck]

I think we will tell family now as my belly is getting bigger and it's becoming harder to disguise. My pics are pants but I'll post one later. I hope you get a clear view tomorrow, make sure your bladder is as full as you can stand

 

[MellyH]

Yayyyyyyy! Wonderful news MrsDuck, I'm so glad you got to see the wriggly little thing. How exciting to start telling people! Big hugs.
