Just a quick post to say I got the preliminary results of my CSV and chromosome numbers have come back normal. I am so relieved! Next step is some mor detailed testing (dotting the i's and crossing the t's according to the specialist) and then a scan in 4 weeks to check for anomalies and heart defects. We may well still have a poorly baby so there's a higher risk of miscarriage, but just so relieved to have got over the first and biggest hurdle. It means we can enjoy Christmas after all!

Thinking of anyone who's worried and so pleased for everyone who had had great scans this week!

Congrats Ladyfog! I agree with some of the others - these tests can cause a lot of worry - I almost want to completely skip the NT and go straight to blood work.
 
We got a live wire here, measuring 28mm with a hb of 167bpm. Ziggy was wriggling and bouncing all over the place so much so it took ages for correct measurements etc waiting for a moment of still!!
 
Great news MissC! - hopefully Ziggy will continue with his/her mischief :winkwink:

Confused - glad you're feeling poorly, but hope it doesn't get too bad. As long as all your symptoms don't suddenly disappear completely there's nothing to worry about. Just be grateful for the good days!

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. I'm glad I had the test as the nuchal fold is meant to give less false positives than then bloodwork. However there are still false positives. It was important for us to check there wasn't any serious chromosome issues as we were worried that as we've had 2 previous MCs and still trying for #1 there may be a risk that we make more poorly babies than healthy ones :cry: Still, I'm so relived that the chromosome tests have come clear as that means we don't have issues with those.
 
Ladyfog I am glad your CVS results came back ok. My heart was in my mouth when I read your post about the NT measurement - that's where things went wrong for us last time when our daughter had an NT measurement of 11mm :( Our cvs tested positive for Turner syndrome though and our little girl was very sick. I'm a big advocate of the NT testing as like you said it is more accurate than the blood tests. Technically the NT test can not give a false positive as it is not a diagnostic test but it can alert the doctors that something may be wrong and further testing can then be done.

Anyway sorry I went on a bit! I have my dating scan this afternoon and I'm terrified even though I've had 3 scans already this is still 'the big one' for me.
 
First scan in two hours!! I am so nervous my gut is acting up...can't wait till this afternoon when I know one way or the other....
 
Good luck girls. Can't wait to hear some happy news!!
 
The scan was GREAT!! I was laying there unsure what was happening..the tech was just looking around on the screen, clicking now and then (for what seemed like an eternity!) and then he made an exasperated sound - I asked if everything was ok..and he said "The baby is doing somersaults". That was the first time I heard the words "the baby"! He had a hard time getting a good picture, but he got one :) The nuchal measurements were normal, and the heartbeat was 165. I am soooo relieved. At one point we could see the baby waving it's arms and kicking it's legs - it was so cute!! I am so relieved - what wonderful Christmas news :) I wish everyone else well with their scans. Thanks for the well wishes!
 
Congrats Silver and Mrs C! So nice to have some good news just before the holidays.
 
So, I'm getting another scan because I'm having pain in my right side again. I had pains at 5 weeks and I went in for a scan and they found that I had a corpus luteum cyst rupture. Well the pain went away for a few weeks and now I'm back to feeling it again for about a week. I figured it's no big deal but I called the doctor and asked if it was something I should be worried about and they said everything is probably fine but to come in for a scan just in case since we're coming up on a long weekend. I feel like it's overkill and that I'm being needy, but it was their suggestion - I should just be happy to get another scan, right?! and it should be fine, right? Has anyone heard of issues with corpus luteum cysts???

Thanks for your thoughts!!!
 
Hi ladies! Great news about the successful scans this week!

Confused- not sure about the cl cyst i know i have one on my left ovary but it hasn't caused me too many problems to date thankfully! Hope all is well.

Had a fantastic day yesterday i found the baby on the doppler and had a brilliant scan baby is measuring perfect and was dancing about for us! We are on :cloud9:

Congrats sThorp. My doctor told me once you see a heartbeat at 10 weeks, then your risk of mc goes down to less than 1%!! Fabulous news hun!!
 
Hi ladies!!

So today went fine! They said I have some residual fluid around my ovary and that with the stretching of the uterus, it's causing some discomfort and should resolve soon - yay! I had a bit of a bleed behind the placenta last time, which at the time they assured me was normal, and it is now resolving too - yay!

We got to see the little one moving around today, it was the coolest thing! It's starting to look like a real little person - kinda more like a gummy bear - but still more like a person lol. Had a nice little heartbeat of 171, which they said was normal for 9 weeks.


Hope everyone is ready for the holidays and feeling well!!!

Hi ladies just checking in to see how you are all doing? hope your all doing great!

Have to admit i am stressing i have a dr. appointment tomorrow and hoping that we hear a nice heart beat on the doppler. this is the same time last pregnancy that i found out that i had a mmc so i think that's why this week is so hard for me.
