September Snugglers 2016

[CountryMomma]

Saw the doc and they did a urine test that the nurse said was negative but she threw it away after about 2 minutes so not sure I trust that. Sat down and talked to dr and told her what was going on and they are going to draw blood to do a beta but also are going to do an FSH to see if my hormones are just all out of whack.

 

[psychochick]

campn: I thought by now it's 72hrs because it's already high enough. Don't worry about it seriously. Your U/S is next week, very soon! The U/S will tell you the truth of how the baby is doing so I'm just FX for that.

country: good luck!

Just: Congrats! Yay!

hopie: as always hoping your nausea improves. and also for you mom

 

[xanzaba]

Oh, Country I hope the beta comes back positive and soon! Not getting a positive poas doesn't sound like a deal breaker to me.

 

[CountryMomma]

They said I won't get my results back until Monday! I am so going to be anxious all weekend. The doctor didn't act like I was crazy at least lol I told her that the positive test I got was very obviously positive not a squinted and that's when she said she would do blood work.

 

[gina236]

Country anxiously awaiting your results as I have the same problem lol. FX that both of us just have some weird thing that makes it not show all the time in our urine. I am going to be ordering a blood test for myself soon just have to get some time off work

 

[Buffyx]

Congrats to all that have had great scan results

Mrsmax - I am so happy that your little bean is doing well in there.

Country - good luck with getting your results on Monday.

AFM - I had my first day back at work after being on maternity leave for the past 6 months with my LO. I struggled really badly with nausea all day, and by the end, I was so exhausted I thought I was going to collapse. Thankfully I have a super helpful husband, who looked after our baby while I fell asleep before 8pm!

 

[CountryMomma]

I hope we both get the answer we are looking for Gina. Have you tested again since your last positive test? Just wondering if the lines are finally progressing for you! I haven't tested in a few days except today at the Drs office so I'm not sure where I am.

 

[gina236]

I tested last night and got a negative but it was on a cheapie. It's pretty much every other one I take is positive and negative lol

 

[MummaMoo]

How frustrating for you Gina and Country! Fingers crossed its as you say and your hcg levels just aren't always registering in your urine! Question: what's FSH? I can't figure out out, over here it stands for Full Service History in relation to vehicles!

Got my dates for booking in and first scan! (Can't remember if I mentioned it before) still got a good couple of weeks to wait.. I'll be 11/12 weeks around then. Getting sooooooo impatient!

Sophie had her 2nd birthday yesterday, just thought I'd share a pic of the birthday girl, if that's okay.https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1366/13637867/24431795/412124968.jpg

Gina and country that is so odd and even odder that both of you going through same thing. Really hope it all works out.

afm its friday and i dont work fridays! So pleased although entertaining my three year old whilst i feel sick coukd be tricky!

 

[LoraLoo]

Awww happy birthday Sophie. Beautiful girl.

Camp those numbers sound great. After 6 weeks try only doubly around every 3-4 days.

Sorry to all those in limbo land 😣

 

[mrs unicorn]

Just - lovely scan!

Campn - those numbers are going in the right direction so try not to worry. I think sometimes we can have too much information and it worries us for no reason. X

Country and Gina - this must be so nerve wracking for you. I hope you both get some answers soon. X

Mummamoo - happy birthday to your LO!

Leson - hope you made it through the day ok. Think I'm about a week behind you but this morning I had to jump out of bed as I thought I was going to be sick. Luckily not, but such strong nausea been feeling exhausted and nauseous most of this week. TFI Friday!!!

 

[ttc126]

Hi ladies! I'm super late to the game but wanted to ask if I can join you? I'm technically due either October 1 or 2, but will almost certainly have a September baby as I'm usually not allowed to go past 37 weeks.

 

[xanzaba]

Welcome TTC!- I'm borderline on the other side (August/September) but love the vibe on this thread, and have a ton of September birthdays in my family (both my parents, many cousins, aunts, uncles, and 2 grandparents) and I don't even have a large family! So, here I am.

Mumamoo- hope your little one has a fantastic birthday!

Gina, country- if you look at HCG by week, at 5 weeks the normal range starts at 18, which is below the level for some HPTs. And in urine it's even lower. I think if you had a positive digi then I would believe that.

Unicorn, I hear you. The weekend can't come soon enough!

On the positive side, I think I figured out that savory breakfasts ward off nausea better than the toast and jam I normally eat. Overall, the nausea seems to be leveling off, if not decreasing. Hoping that the worst is behind me.

 

[CountryMomma]

MummaMoo- FSH is Follicle Stumulatin Hormone. I guess it's what helps you ovulate and keeps your cycles regular. I didn't know what it was either, I had to look it up! Lol Oh, and my baby girls name is Sofia and she turns 2 in March!

 

[mari35racz36]

Just1- soo happy for you. Congrats!! Perfect heartbeat. Now you can sit back and relax. Yay!

Have a lot to catch up on here. My mom had to go to the hospital for emergency surgery yesterday. Thank GOD she is doing well today. The past 48 hours are a total blur. I also think I have to go back to hospital as nausea/vomiting is so bad I haven't held anything down all week. My clothes are falling off me and I still cant keep prenatals down. Dr. has me on highest allowed dosage of Zofran now - 28mg! which is crazy but I have no choice. I look and feel as if I'm dying.
I really admire you girls who are working through bad nausea and taking care of little kids. I have to get energy back to take care of my mom when she gets home.

Mari- so sorry the nausea is so bad still. Guess we are both 8wks 2 days about and still no letting up You feel the meds didn't help at all?

Will catch up on all soon. Take care everyone.

I am so sorry your mom had to go to the hospital. But glad to hear she is better after surgery. I can't even imagine what you are going through. I hope your MS does ease off by 12 weeks.
I have been throwing up like crazy the last few days even with taking my meds. At first I thought they helped, but I don't think so anymore. Last night was bad, couldn't keep anything down except tiny sips of ice water. Went to be completely drained and with a massive headache. Today my head is better so hopefully things will be better. I know there will be an end in sight, but I just hope its sooner rather than later! Hang in there!

 

[mari35racz36]

ttc126 - welcome and congrats on your BFP!! I am due Sept 6, but have a feeling I may go in late Aug as this is baby #4.

mummamoo - Happy bday to your LO! She is super cute

gina - I wouldn't trust a cheapie either. They might have different sensitivity levels than a digi or FRER. I would trust the positive from the digi. Good luck and i hope you get your answers soon!

 

[gina236]

Thanks everyone. I'm actually not too concerned about it. I had the realization that this happens every time. For all my chemicals I would say I know I'm pregnant (gut feeling) but I can't get a test to show it. Most I would get were super faint lines so most people thought I was making it up. Now I'm realizing maybe it's something with the chemical makeup of my urine. Makes me feel alot better realizing that. I have gotten 2 obvious positives and quite a few faint ones so I'm confident that there is a baby in there. My stomach is actually already getting harder. I can't suck in my belly at all anymore. Not sure if it's just due to all the bloat or what but like even when I lay down usually I can massage or poke my stomach and it's very squishy, now it's almost like I'm flexing my ab muscles but I'm not. It's weird. Boobs are very sore. If i had lost the baby when i had the slight bleed around af time i would be about 4 dpo. I never have sore boobs that early. And exhaustion has fully hit. No more just tired by 8, now I'm tired all day long no matter how much I sleep. Really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow though. So I'm feeling very confident about this pregnancy even though tests are only positive half of the time lol.

 

[CountryMomma]

Gina - I feel the same as you, I am fairly confident that I am preggo. My boobs are very sore, my acne has completely cleared up ( only happens when I am ku), I am having lots of cramps that feel like AF is about to start any minute and any time I eat I get sick.. In Nov my AF was 6 days late and I kept getting faint lines so I am pretty sure it was a CP. My AF is never late, usually early so something was off.. So maybe my metabolism has changed and can't metabolise the HCG like it used too. I've been to scared to try a digi but I might.

 

[gina236]

If a negative digi is going to upset you don't even do it. I've had 1 positive digi, taken 2 before that of the same type that were negative and 1 cb digi that was negative. I have found that when I do over a 12 hr hold is the only time I can turn a test positive. But I have to pee so frequently now I can't really do that anymore. Don't want to cause a uti. I'd just go about as if you are pregnant and wait for your results to come in monday. Sounds like the same thing for us. I got pregnant at 19, 6 years ago and I got a positive no problem so between then and now something must have changed. I've heard usually when you can't get a positive test you finally will around 8 weeks so excited to see if that's true lol. I'll be 7 on Sunday
