September Snugglers 2016

Congratulations to the new ladies!

I bought my tests from Amazon (I get everything through Amazon!) 20 of the cheapies for about £3 and a pack of 5 frers for about £3.50. Still got a load left but trying to keep away from the tests now, think I've t the best result I'm going to get when the test line came back darker than the control line.

Looks like it's becoming apparent to people I'm not feeling 100%. Think we're going to tell my parents this weekend so after that I don't care if it gets out, even if it is still early.

Last pregnancy I tested every day until the line was super dark. Spent way too much money! I have my doctor appointment next Friday (the 15th) so I will probably test before then just to make sure everything is still going alright before getting the blood taken.

Just got my numbers back from Monday's appointment- beta 31,865 progesterone 26.7 at 5 weeks 4 days. I'm a little concerned that my beta was so high. I know that beta levels do have a small correlation with Down Syndrome risk, and after the last pregnancy ended due to Down's syndrome, now I'm going to worry until the screening at 10 weeks.

So since I bought a double frer pick yesterday, of coarse I had to test this morning lol The line is even darker today and darker than control line. I've got my doctors appt in just over 2 hrs, yay!!!

Anyone experiencing their lower abdomen feeling tight? For those that have had babies before, similar to the tightenings you used to get when full term?

Something like a Braxton Hicks contraction? yes I have felt a bare few of them. I think it is all part of the stretching, even though it feels like a tightening!

Yay! Are you having a scan, or just blood drawn this time?

No scan today, just blood drawn. Won't get a scan until 12 weeks. But this appt is definteify the fist step to getting everything going

Welcome welcome welcome new ladies!! We are so excited that you are here! Congrats and H&H 9 months! I will add your dates to the first page.

Hopie - I am sorry for your loss. it makes us worry every day. That is some great advice to those of us struggling with those feelings, though! Thank you for the encouragement!

Kmx and Mari - What great lines!! I love seeing those dark tests!! Mari good luck at your appointment! I am sure all will go well!

Moo - It is hard to hide the unwell-ness from those close to us. I have also stopped testing, I cant really hope for better than what I posted the other day. I just have to hope that everything is going well in there.

AFM - 6 weeks tomorrow, and still no new symptoms. It is really starting to get me worried now. No nausea. Everything is basically the same as it has been since my first BFP. Ugh

How are you ladies doing this morning?

 

[LoraLoo]

Can I join too please ladies? I got my bfp today but beyond terrified. This is my 11th pregnsncy and we have had 2 miscarriages, lost Eden at 15 weeks, Alfie at 18 weeks and Eve at 5 days.
I can't believe ive pregnant straight away again, for the third month running.
I'm fully expecting this pregnancy not to progress but for ow I am pregnant and will just have to take a day at a time. I'm due the 19th x

Glad it's not just me then! I don't remember it in first tri with my first pregnancy, just at the end!

Welcome LoraLoo - so sorry for your losses

Everything crossed for your rainbow baby! Sticky vibes!

Thank you Just1more! Still doesn't feel real to me. I suppose I should go for the beta and progest. test today rather than wait until Monday. My doctor told me any time in the next week..it's strange I don't feel a need to rush in there to get it done.
For the lady who is concerned about the high beta at 5 wks -- there is such a huge range of betas my doctor told me. My friend's was so high early on she was convinced she was having twins, but she wasn't and baby is perfect. And as for no symptoms yet at 6 weeks-- enjoy it!! Mine last time kicked in at 7 weeks and I could barely move from nauseau for those next few weeks. Some lucky ones hardly get any nausea at all.

Congrats to the new comers. Stay positive everyone.

Welcome, congrats and good luck. I so hope this is your well-deserved rainbow baby. September is a lucky month!!!
I have also had 2 consecutive early losses the last 2 cycles. I seem to have no problem getting pregnant, just keeping the bub. I have gotten further with this pregnancy than any other (minus my 5 year old of course!!) And I am really hoping it stays sticky.
It is impossible not to worry, we are moms and that is what we do! But I have been taking every day as it comes. Each day is a milestone and one more moment I get to enjoy THIS baby.

I wish you all the best!!!

You're absokuteky right- a day at a time is the way to go I think and we can only hope that these are our rainbows. Fingers crossed for us both x

I love this! Thank you just1. I don't yet know what it's like to be a mom. Heck, I barely know what it's like to be pregnant now. Still the fear of losing our LO is crushing some days. Trying not to worry about the future is overwhelming. Celebrating today worry free is way easier.

I had dinner with an old friend last night, and barely made it past 8 pm because of the fatigue. It's tough and I know it will get tougher, but I've never been happier

Welcome and congrats on your BFP I am so very sorry for all of your losses. I cannot even imagine I really hope you have a sticky bean this time around. Wishing you a H&H 9 months.

 

[mari35racz36]

Ok ladies, I am back from the doctors. Everything went well, but she is giving me a due date of Aug 26. This makes no sense at all as my last period was dec 1, so it would be impossible. I think she was confused, my doc is set to retire soon!! Lol Don't change my due date, as Sept 6 is right. I had lots of blood drawn today. Will get the results on Mon. My first scan is booked and will be on Feb 24th Yay!!!! I also have my first "official" prenatal appt booked with my doc for Jan 22.

Nausea is starting to set in a lot more with me. Every time I eat I feel sick. My doc did give me a prescription for Diclectin just in case I will need it before my next appt.

 

[hopie2015]

Thank you so much Just and everyone!! I see it as normal we all worry so much, but I keep reminding myself if I constantly worry- it will not help or change a thing.
I also (even though I'm old!) have no problem getting pregnant..this one all comes down to the fact if it is actually a healthy egg. I am very 'matter of fact' with this pregnancy, I guess because of the last 2 losses and I've also had a year from hell with health issues with my parents. I guess it is true, I hate to say it, that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
I want this baby more than anything but have put it in God's hands and what is meant to be will happen.
No nausea today, which is strange but I won't worry-- I will just say yeah!! I can eat finally and not feel sick!

Mari- so glad all went great at the doctor's! That is strange that she gave you the August due date now. I wonder why. Funny- she is soon to retire!! My last period was also Dec. 1st, so I thought I would have the Sept. 6 due date. That's okay if it will be August for us, I say the sooner the better!

Take good care all.

Welcome to our new ladies, congratulations too. A special welcome LoraLoo, . We've never spoke but I have seen many of your posts. You have been through so much..I hope this is very much a sticky baby for you.

How is everyone?

My midwife appointment has come through for Jan. 22nd. I am still having no symptoms of pregnancy. My pregnancy with Moo was like this too but it still worries me because of our loss. I don't think I'll feel less anxious until the baby is here.
