September 2014 Rainbows- 17 Ladies so far

Went to the drs at 1130 because i had light pink spotting. I'm left with even more questions. The dr went over my sonogram with me. Said baby looked okay but he did see a dermoid tumor in my right ovary and a cyst in my left ovary. He said the dangers of that to the baby are none, but it may be affecting my hormone levels (progesterone). He scheduled me another scan on Monday at 1030am. I have to go see my original dr later that day at 230pm. He asked if we heard a heartbeat and i said yes. He said well that's good because only 3% who have a heartbeat ends bad. So that gave me a little bit of reassurance. He said the tumor could be a reason why i am spotting because it's left over from when i ovulated..... or something like that. I didn't follow that part. I am just anxious now for Monday to get here.... i don't know whether to cry or not.

Poor yOu :(

Tot get why you would feel worried but reading it objectively, the growth has nothing to do with your bub and will have no effect :) your bub is still growing properly and doc himself said 3% - that's tiny percent :)

Good news!!
 
Mindmoo - happy bday!! Do all your fam and friends kno about preg?
I went out with colleagues today and kept having to say "no I'll get mine!" and ordering tonic and pretending it's g&t.
I'm close to my colleagues so wouldve told them if it weren't for previous 2 losses.

I reach 7 weeks tomorrow. Starting to feel hopeful (which itself scares me!!) but ive had no cramps or spotting and I have lots of food aversion so seems to be going the right way...
 
Nothing new to report but just a little post so I can see my ticker on 7 weeks :)
 
So glad to see everything is progressing so well for everyone! It looks like I will be having an ultrasound next week with my specialist so just praying it goes well. Nausea and food avoidance kicked in big time this past week and breasts are definitely bigger. My HCGs at 4 and 5 weeks were more than doubling so I'm praying this little bean sticks!!!
 
Bethneebabe,

Fingers crossed for u .. From ure symptoms it sounds like ure pregnancy is progressing well ..
 
Londongirl - Thanks hun, and yeah my pregnancy is the worst kept secret EVER! everyone knew we were trying and knew about previous loss, Im very close to my family and would prefer that they knew in case anything goes wrong as they are amazing support for me and my DH. Plus they would know straight away as I always share a bottle of wine with mum and sisters so would have been soooo obvs lol x x
 
OHHHHHH i just wanna jump up and down with excitement! I got to see peanut today and it was the most CUTEST thing ever to see it's little arms and legs wiggling around. My gosh it was adorable! Heartbeat was 173 bpm. Also baby is measuring 2 days ahead as of right now. Such a strong little bean i got!! OOO i am just so excited. I go see my OBGYN at 230 to go over everything. I hope it's all good news!!

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!! you must feel on cloud 9 - and what great pics!!

You are true testament to the fact that having minimal symptoms doesn't mean something's wrong - you've had very few symptoms and your bub is perfect :D are you still having few symptoms?

Yay!!
 
I got my letter for my first midwife appt (24/2) and scan (6/3). They've scheduled it for 12 weeks and I'm just gonna leave it like that unless (I hope not...) I have any concerning symptoms...

Feeling nervous already :|
 
Babydust - fantastic news!!! You sound over the moon and rightly so. That's a lovely strong heartbeat! I'm intrigued by what symptoms you have too. I currently have absolutely zero. No sore boobs, no tiredness and no ms. Not even peeing more than usual! Absolutely terrified of another mmc. Scan is on Thursday and I'm beginning to dread it. I know some ladies get very few symptoms but I don't think many get zero!

I joined a group for people in 1st tri with minimal symptoms in the hope that it would make me feel better but they were all complaining about their symptoms lol ?!?!?

How's everyone else doing - who's got scans this week?

Are your BBs big and/or sore?
 
Aww thanks girls!! I'm so glad i can give y'all support and reassurance. My symptoms are seriously minimal. Maybe 2-4 times a week my boobs will hurt for a short period of time. I still haven't gotten sick. Sometimes i'll feel a little 'off', but that is it. I definitely forget i'm pregnant sometimes. I hope that helps you girls. I can't wait for your scan Julia! My next scan is March 6th! (Same as you Julia!!!) I went to my other dr appt today at 230. The spotting i had the other day is from a bleed in the placenta. Dr said as long as the bleed doesn't get bigger than things should be fine. He said it's not abnormal. He sees this in other women. He just doesn't want it to get worse because it can result in miscarriage. My progesterone level was only 14.6. Dr wants it to be 25 or higher. He said i am in a grey area. So he's putting me on a supplement. I went to get it and my insurance doesn't cover it and would of been $450 USD. That is insane!!! So they faxed my dr office to see if they could get a generic. So i'm waiting to hear back from that!
 
$450 that's crazy. Thank god for the NHS - my prescription costs £7 for a month's supply. Drug companies really do make fortunes!

Thanks for commenting on your symptoms (or lack thereof) makes me mor hopeful that bubs is okay in there. I keep telling dh how good it would be if you had a little green light on you so you could see if it was okay! I find it so weird that it's inside me but I have absolutely no idea what's going on in there!
 
I know what you mean Lis! When i saw the baby move its little arms and legs i felt like it was fake! LOL. It was like "wow that's going on inside of me right now?!!?". It was so cute! I wish we could have our own scan equipment at home so we could look whenever we wanted! When is your next appt?
 
$450??! is that the progesterone suppositories?
If you're pregnant in the UK, you get FREE prescriptions for anything. That continues for 10 months after you've given birth too. It's crazy amazing..

It's hard to know what are real symptoms or searching for symptoms. My BBs are intermittently a little sore and I'm tired. That is it!!

So relieving to see you're in same boat Rach AND your bub is healthy :)

Is your 6/3 scan your dating scan?

Xx
 
I haven't posted on here in a while, but I'm due 9.26 with #2. Had a scan this past Saturday and saw HB at 120, had another one yesterday and HB was at 124.4, RE said everything looks good but to come back on 2/17 for another scan.

I've had 3 losses so I am super paranoid and I have NO idea how I will get through the next 13 days, let alone the rest of the first tri. All of my losses were < 6 weeks so this is the furthest I've gotten except for DS.

As far as symptoms, I have low level nausea constantly all day and food aversions and just generally feel like I'm hungover. Sore boobs and very emotional (but that could be from the Progesterone). I'm on 200 mg Progesterone a day and it's $186 every 15 days :( I have to be on it until 10 weeks at full dose and then on a half dose from 10-12 weeks before stopping.
 
Hey everyone, not been on in a while but good to read about so many positive scans!

I had another scan last week at 9+4 due to having some brown discharge/spotting but everything was fine! We saw the heartbeat and his/her arms/legs. It seemed so much bigger than last time! Can't believe I'm in double figures now, at 10+1!

I can't say I'm with you on lack on symptoms! I've had quite bad ms, sick everyday a few times at least. Feel shocking most of the day, exhausted and lots of headaches. Had cramps and a few sharp pains but everything seems to be ok - I'm assuming they are stretching/growing pains.

Great news Brownie! SO happy baby is healthy and growing so big! I had a scan 6w6d and another 8w3d and i can't believe what a difference that short amount of time made! Baby seemed so much bigger and could actually see the head, arms and legs! It's so awesome isn't it!?!?

GRGirl you are not alone! I too am freaking out all the time with having 2 previous losses. My first one was at 5 weeks and my second i found out at 6 weeks but didn't miscarry until 8w4d. It's very hard to keep a positive outlook when you've been through so many trials. Just try to keep positive. You heard a heartbeat and have made it further than you ever have... just like me!! This is our rainbows!!! Keep us updated with everything.

AFM when i woke up this morning i had a tiny bit of spotting again and 2 pen point clots. I called dr and he seems to think it's normal with a placenta tear. I hate knowing i have that, but i sure hope it can heal itself. I did get my progesterone. They ended up sending it to another pharmacy. The pharmacist had to specially make it. She gave me a 32 day supply for $32. MUCH BETTER than $450!!
 
Can I go to your pharmacy?! I'm stuck paying $186 every 15 days and it drives me nuts!!!!
