PG w/1st-PCOS-due December 14th

[Flibberty87]

According to doctors dates I'm 5+1 now. Edd early Jan. Already got the nasty sickness but I'm just glad I'm having symptoms, it's helping it to sink in!

5 positive tests later I still don't believe it haha OH made me go buy a digital one today so can get a date (even though I knew hah) I did it on my 4th pee of the day and it still came up 2-3 weeks.

I am shocked!

The one I did this morning was really faint. I think maybe it wasn't as sensitive as the clear blue?

I purposely have used different brands each time too but I now know there is definitely a bean in there!

It's all very surreal to me.. Was told by my fertility doctor that there was only a teeny tiny chance of the clomid working then it was IVF or adoption. Gave up for a while last year, it was too stressful as had loads of other things going on too. Then decided to start trying again end of Feb. My second cycle on clomid and I'm pregnant!

I call the symptoms bittersweet cause they suck but im so glad to have them cause it really means we are pregnant! I think people like us dont take our pregnancy for granted and appreciate every little symptom even if we do complain lol
It is surreal! i think once im out of my first trimester and know the lil bean is safe then it will really hit me!!!!
Thats so awesome! Glad u beat the odds!
Hoping all of our lil beans stick!!!!

Hey flibberty! Congrats! I took clomid for 6 months (bloody hot flashes!) and didn't ovulate once..a month after finishing it I ovulated! Think it must have done something for me! Sorry you have sickness, I'm with you on that one. As maegen said at least you know bean is in there! Good luck and welcome xx

 

[Flibberty87]

I know Bonnie, those hot flashes were evil!!! I'm really hoping this little bean sticks!

You're very right there MaeganNicole, I know I appreciate this pregnancy a lot more than my friends who have had children.. Maybe because they ALL fell pregnant on the pill!

H&H 9mos to us all

Hi everyone.
I had a scan today. It was amazing. We got to see and hear a very strong heartbeat. It was exciting. Estimated due date on Dec 22nd.
I feel for the ladies with bad morning sickness. I haven't been too bad yet. Eating foods i would never normally eat though! My work friends are getting very suspicious. Haha.
Doc says I am to stay on metformin until 12 weeks, it is so interesting that each doctor has different ideas about what works, maybe because we are all different? Who knows.
Baby dust to all. X

 

[MaeganNicole]

Thats great to hear! Glad it went well!
Afm i havent vomitted but the nausea is there and its not consistent. I have it off and on throughout the day ugh... glad im not puking though! Haha and of course im constantly tired! Haha
Cant wait to hit the 2nd trimester! I will mentally feel much better!

 

[Bonnie11]

YEAY buttons! It really put my mind at rest seeing the hb on my scan. Maegan I can't wait for 2nd tri too! Have convinced myself that my ms will magically disappear at 12 weeks lol. After a few days of feeling human it's been back with vengeance past couple of days... Horrible! Have any of you guys got/ thunking about getting a Doppler? Am in 2 minds x

 

[MaeganNicole]

Yeah exactly! Lol I am thankful that its only nausea but still. That with all the other symptoms is not fun haha still bittersweet but def ready for the "fun" part so they say haha my sil had one with her last pregnancy so I might inherit that one if she still has it but If not I probably won't... who knows haha

 

[Bonnie11]

Can't decide whether to get one or not... They are expensive, especially the sonoline one that seems to be the best. I could probably spend that money more wisely on baby things! But don't know if it would put my mind at rest hearing the hb? Hmm.
On a getting to know you topic; where are you ladies based? I'm in south east UK

 

[MaeganNicole]

Yeah thats why im pretty sure im not getting one! Unless my sil gives me hers!
Im in the states in mesa az!

 

[Bonnie11]

JESUS GAS PAINS!! Since this morning I thought it was cramps early on but by lunchtime I realised it was gas and its been killing me ever since! Have been on all fours trying to get it out TMI but nothing is working. Have been a bit 'blocked up' over last few days so think that's making it worse, it's killing me! plus my ms only lets me eat white bread and crisps but have been drinking as much water as I can. Have been reading up and they say to eat lots of dried fruit and prunes but just can't stomach it! Pregnancy really is hard work.....

 

[MaeganNicole]

Yeah I hear ya on the gas pains. They are brutal. I'm eating tostito chips and otter pops lol I'm able to eat frosted mini wheat too which has helped me stay regular. Yes its a lot harder than I thought! Hope your pains subsides!

 

[MaeganNicole]

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

 

[Flibberty87]

How are you all doing ladies?

Got my first midwife appointment tomorrow! EXCITED!

 

[MaeganNicole]

Today has been a good day actually! Haha im eating watermelon right now actually and it is the best thing ive eaten in 3 weeks! Its the little things in life that make me happy right bow haha

 

[Bonnie11]

Ooh flibberty how did your appt go?
Watermelon sounds so good! I know what you mean about getting excited, I ate a kiwi for te first time a few days ago and it's never tasted so good!!
Well I gave in and bought a Doppler, found one for £11 on eBay it's an angel sounds one , not an expensive one but didnt want to waste money, so wish me luck! Should arrive this week x

 

[MaeganNicole]

It was very good. I don't know if I was happier about eating something or feeling like I could eat. Lol yay for u bonnie! Good luck. Let us know how it goes!

 

[Flibberty87]

Good evening! (at least it's evening where I am )

Appointment was fine, it was something called an early bird appointment. It was just a load of twoddle about what to do and what not to do etc. Told me no more BDing :O Not happy haha

Got my proper midwife on Monday, coming to my house... I thought they would see me at the surgery. Is this normal?

Got weight and height done today, I've lost 4kg since I had my smear test 3 weeks ago lol THANKS BABY!!

hope you're all well

 

[Bonnie11]

No more BD? Nooo!! My doc said mw can come to my house or see me at surgery, whichever I preferred. Were you given a choice? Not heard of an early bird appt but I saw GP first so maybe that counted!

 

[MaeganNicole]

Why cant u bd? Are u spotting or bleeding?
Hope all is well!
