Yey! Got a 3+, so hopefully everything is ok

 

[tekkitten]

I'm very worried bc my bbs are not as sore I know it flyctuates and your body gets used to it, but until I get my scan (still 2+ weeks away) I won't feel safe

I had a dream I had a baby bump, so I hope it's a good sign going to take a cb digi today and hope it's a 3+. Might be a day it two too early, but I am impatient. If its still 2-3 I will have to wait till next week to do another, as I am waiting for more in the mail.

I think we all imagine things that are/aren't there, that's what PAL does to you. I won't be able to stop worrying until well into second tri. A first loss occurred after healthy 3 month scan and second loss after good scan at 7 weeks, but nothing at 9 weeks, so I have sooooo far yet to go.

I feel I want to do another digi and hope for 3+ but I don't have any. All I have is OPK tests so have been and those as I got a positive on that when iGot m BFP.

Just did one after only 1 hour as I can't keep my wee in any longer than that now, I suppose that is a good sign.

Anyway, did the opk and the test line appeared before the control line, before I as even finished counting to 15 so I'm thinking that's good, the test line is soooo much darker than the control line, never even seen it that dark when getting a positive for opk!

How is everyone else?

I think that is a great thing!

I have no idea when my first loss technically occurred, as it was a blighted ovum I am not sure how big the sac measured, but I lost it at 13 weeks. Feb first cant come soon enough

That's good, at least you know your levels ar rising!

Time usually goes so quick, but the next 2 weeks will be the slowest ever.

thats fab news about the 3+, i am so envious, i am dying to test again but i know if i get another 2-3 it'll only upset me. i'm sure i must be either already five weeks or very close to 5 weeks. i have read online today alot of people never got past 2-3 then went on to have healthy babies though so trying not to worry too much. there was one lady who said she never got past 1-2 and she was pregnant with twins!

Does anyone think they could be pregnant with twins? we have no history of twins but would love to have them, its a double blessing!

i am constantly squeezing my own boobs to feel how sore they are. how much of a weirdo am i. they are definetly feeling less sore than they were but still are sore which i'm clutching to as a positive. i also felt very squeasy all morning this morning and couldn't eat my cereal. i'm hoping this is morning sickness, i felt pretty awful which was pants but also very good if you know what i mean. i want the super sore boobs the morning sickness the lot because at least they will then reassure me i am pregnant

how is everyones OH's finding being pregnant after a loss? my husband is very much not getting excited until we know our baby will make it. last time he got quite excited and i think it upset him alot when our baby died (not that he showed it) so this time its almost as if we're both too scared to believe its real.

we have a four year old who begs everyday for a brother AND a sister, today he was looking longingly at a baby in a buggy and saying mummy i wish we had a baby. i'm desperate to tell him but again won't until i know everything is ok, I told him last time and he was overjoyed but the conversation that our baby had gone to heaven was heartbreaking. last time i told quite a few people but this time i've only told my closest friend. are other people finding they are more catious over who they tell?

I got a 3+ on a digital Friday just gone otowas lovely to see I have to admit.

My hubby isn't getting excited and doesn't even really want to talk about it until we have the scan. It's just his way of dealing with things.

As soon as I got my BFP I started taking baby aspirin, not sure if it helped last time, but no-one can tell me it didn't either and it doesn't hurt to take it.

 

[Greener Grass]

Thank you for saying that I have just done some research and decided to take it too. I already had some in the cupboard as I took it for a whole while ttc as I'd heard stories of it helping. Would give my right arm to ensure this baby lives

Hi,

After having 3 losses in total, with one at 13 weeks, i can not even think about it at the moment.

I would love to just curl up and sleep and wake up at 16 weeks with everything ticking along nicely.

The asprin is an interesting one, as i too have read a lot about this.

I am currently under a Professor Quemby, one of the countries leading specialists in miscarriage and have seen her twice and spoken to her on the phone and the midwife nurse that helps her. They seemed to think that the asprin didn`t really help.

Although my doctor at one point did say there would be no harm taking it, but a low doseage.

Anyway, i had a uNK killer cell test done in november and the results came back negative. Professor Quemby sent me a letter advising progesterone supplements twice a day and once viable pregnancy has been confirmed via scan then they want me to take Clexane (injected into stomach) i think this is some sorting of clotting thing, but she has specifically told me not to take asprin! (perhaps the clexane is a similar thing thats why they are saying no to asprin.)

I will leave myself in their hands.

I have great aunts who were twins. Even though I have 3 children already i think twins would be great!

Saw my acupuncturist yesterday and mentioned the migraine and he did his thing he does with his rings of coloured metal and decided that it is due to my gall bladder and stomach excess! Not really sure what he means, but he stuck a few needles in my foot and has put magnets on my finger and foot and has told me I shouldn`t now get any more migraines!

He also put two in my head, which he does every week to help with emotions and stuck one in my knee to help with blood flow!

Hoping that he works magic and everything will be fine!

Just gave myself a right old scare!

Did a boots test and line came up dark straight away, no waiting for 3 minutes to read. Then did a clear blue digi, but had only held wee for an hour and had 4 cups of tea throughout the morning.

The pregnant came up quite quickly and then took ages for indicator which came up at 2-3 when it should be 3+ so I got a bit worried.

Thought I had bought a 2 pack but only one was digi the other was normal.

Went out to the shop again and this time bought a proper 2 digi pack. No drinks since and only waited now 1 hour 15 mins and thought I would see what happened.

Did the clearblue normal first and the plus line appeared immediately, before the wee had even had chance to go over to the control line! Then did a digi again and within in the space of 30 secs the pregnant and 3+ appeared at the same time!

Phew, what a relief. Why do we do this to ourselves?







Above are for my records really. 4 week bump 5 weeks bump and todays tests!!

Same as me, I have pooping at least once or twice a day. I had diarrhoea yesterday and now nothing at all today!

Hopefully sickness is a good sign.

15 more sleeps!

Hi Greener,

Please don't worry your ticker says 5 weeks today so it literally could just be 1 hcg difference. I didn't test for my 3+ until I was 5 weeks 5 days for the sole reason that I wanted to make sure I got a 3+.

Easier said than done but please if your gonna do another one wait a couple of days I bet that 3+ will pop right up for you xx

 

[dancareoi]

Greener - you are only just 5 weeks today so 2-3 would still be ok. It all depends on how concentrated your wee is.
The first one I did today wasn't very concentrated and I got 2-3, did another 1 1/2 hours later making sure no drinking between times and the 3+ came straight up.
When you read packaging they say 92% accurate if used with FMU.
I know its so much easier said than done, but try not to worry. You might need to leave it a couple of days just to be sure, if you can't wait try FMU.
Although this for me would be a problem now as I am up once every night now between 3.30 and 4 for a wee, always used to sleep through!

 

[Zebra2023]

Please don't worry about your digital test result, they are a little temperamental, your HCG can make a slight difference too if you conceived later than usual. You will be fine Greenergrass and mwaah

Thank you to all that welcomed me, hope everyone is doing well.

I had another scan today, I have been pushed back to 6 weeks 1 day. We saw our bean and its heart beat. Such an amazing feeling. I forgot to ask for a scan photo as I was too busy staring at the screen, she quickly got one from using the scan on my tummy so it isn't as clear but the internal scan was wonderful, so clear, shame I didn't say anything earlier. Silly me!

 

[mwaah]

Zebra, thats fab you got to see your bean again and a heartbeat hope you feel a little more reassured. When is your next scan?? xx

Thank you mwaah I feel a lot more reassured now, woohoo My next scan is next Thursday at 4:30pm xx

 

[mwaah]

Thats great, you should see a big difference. I hope I have had my early scan by thursday xxx

 

[Greener Grass]

Thank you ladies xxx problem is I'm not sure when exactly I ov'd. Had sex Xmas eve but I guess I could've ov'd anytime that week. I think I'm going to try (no promises) to not buy any more digis as I just can't take another 2-3!! My pee wasn't very concentrated though I shouldn't have taken it!

Your scan pic is fab. You must feel so much better to see that little heart fluttering away

Hugs to everyone and sticky vibes to all those beans out there xxx

It is hard not to POAS I was the same, once I got my 3+ I swore I would not take anymore as it can fluctuate and ends up worrying us. I have stood by it, easier said than done though. Give it another week or a few days and you will see a difference

Thank you I feel loads better, such a relief xx
