Awww, my post didn't go.

Ysa, that's great news!! Sounds like a sticky bean!! Can't wait for your stellar number tomorrow.

Sorry, Isabel-- I would think by 6 weeks you'd at least see a gestational sac... some women even see a heartbeat at that point. Do you have another scan scheduled or just waiting for hcg results?

 

[FloridaGirl21]

yes, Isabel, there should be at least a sac. Is there anyway that you could have your dates wrong?

 

[lilrojo]

I agree you would def see something on a us at 6 weeks.. I had one done at 6+? (dont remember) and we saw baby and hb.. still praying for you.. hope your dates are wrong or something..

Yay Vicki-thats great to hear so nice to get things done.. cant believe how fast its going for you..

Happy 8 weeks Josie.. time sure is flying..

Just a quick update, Progesterone came in at 23.7 I read online somewhere it's gotta be at least a 15 Not sure how accurate that is, but I'm happy with a 23 for now

Hi Isobel
When I had a miscarriage I went for a scan when I should have been around six months and there was nothing there midwife said there should be at least the thinkening of the uterus which is darkened

Hope everyone had a great chrsitmas!!

Cant believe its all over....felt a bit low yesterday - actually been feeling a bit odd for a while like i keep thinking i should be more excited about the baby and getting upset with myself that i'm not. I know i still have this one essay hanging over me..plan to totally get it finished by the weekend so i can relaxe and just wait for baby - anybody else every got anxious that your not excited enough - does this sound totally crazy - i'm thinking its anxiety related to the birth. hoping everything is ok...just feel a bit separated from the whole thing....argh....need to get this essay finished!!!!

 

[sept10]

oh but Ysa - all sounding good...fxd for you!!!!!!!

 

[lilrojo]

Yay Yay Ysa.. so happy for you.. my levels for progesterone were 34..and that was at 13dpo.. i believe.. would have to look back.. but 23 isnt bad..

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I'm sure it'll go up more now that I'm on 200mg daily.. My doctor seemed pleased with that number too.. I'm so excited!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Aww Ysa so happy for you, those numbers seem so positive, fingers crossed for you xxx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I know nothing about progesterone... but if the dr's happy, and you're happy, I'm happy!!

Sarah-- I think with my first, I was more nervous and scared than excited. That essay you have left probably has something to do with it, too.

At my last u/s, I was lying there and the dr was showing me all the parts and stuff and she kept going on and on like she never does... I felt like maybe she was going overboard because I appeared so unemotional about it. But I always try to be all blase about it since she always is... I mean, she does this how many times a day, you know? I did get teary-eyed at my other u/s... I don't know why I was so stoic at this last one... But then as soon as it was over and I went to the restroom, I started bawling! I had to pull myself together before I went to check out at the desk.

morning all

23 weeks today

xxxx

 

[Isabel209]

thank you ladies. i have another scan today just to have a second opinion but my hopes are not up at all. my hcg tests are suppose to come out tomorrow... everything seemed empty. doctor said that i could have had a late implantation.. but chances are low. i will let you know how it goes xxx just praying it is not ectopic!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Hey ladies - hope you're all doing good - Isabel I really do have my fingers crossed for you.

I spent all day yesterday tidying my house and I'll be carrying on today - trying to get sorted from Christmas. Managed to pretty much get the kitchen and living room done, just need to do the floors in both rooms, then I've got the bathroom, my bedroom and the baby's room to do. I just want to get to the point where I feel like my house isn't a complete mess, and I haven't really been at that point since Eden was born. Want to get all fresh and sorted for the New Year and for when I travel up North to see Elliot's family and my old work friends (I hate coming back to a messy house when I've been away).

Does anyone have any plans for New Year? Me and OH never really celebrate it, we just tend to curl up on the sofa and watch a movie and forget until it's midnight, lol.

Can't believe Eden is 4 weeks today

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Happy 23 weeks, Stacey!!!
Good luck, Isabel.
Happy 4 weeks, Eden!!! Wow, that went fast!!

I have no plans for new years... FIL usually has a party, but if we go, we'll be going super early and leaving super early.
Some of you know and the rest of you will find out-- when you have a LO, some occasions are worth breaking routine and staying out late, and some aren't. To me, new years isn't worth it. Especially with all the routine-less-ness that went on around Christmas. It's more important to me to get him to bed at a decent time than to stay, when I probably wouldn't end up being able to stay up until midnight anyway. I'm such a lightweight anymore.
Haha actually I have been staying up late the last few nights, but that's because I just got a book from the library and it's really good... [nerd smiley]

Sarah, I think the stress of the essay could definitely prevent you from getting excited...also its normal to be anxious about birth. It will be great though!! Soon I am sure you will be dying to get this baby out!!

My MIL is offering to watch Josie so Steve and I can go to a NYE party in the city...not sure if I want to go into the city on NYE as it is INSANE. Plus, this may sound weird but I don't like going anywhere without her. I wouldn't mind maybe going to the movies together or something....but not really in the partying spirit. Can't wait to have my house back..In laws starting to drive me crazy....will post a rant in my journal...

Isabel...sorry you are going through this...hopefully your dates are wrong, but you should definitely see a gestational sac, a yolk sac and possibly a fetal pole by 6 weeks.

YSa..praying for good numbers for you. Think they will be though!!

 

[DrGomps]
