The LTTTC thread for everyone.

Peace, that is FANTASTIC!!

All 3 of my children measured small and the smallest one came out at 8 lbs 3 oz so just know the measuring isn't always spot on! They kept warning us that our son was going to be 5-6 lbs if we were lucky. He was 9 lbs 13 oz. My placenta just caused issues with them seeing things right is what we were told. Don't sweat it and stay as calm as possible (feel free to imagine chucking something at me!). The calmer you are, the better for yourself and baby.

A HB...what a wonderful thing!

Ohhh peace so exciting!!!!! How far are you then? My tech told me it was not unusual to measure a week plus or minus (I think I was measuring a couple days behind what I thought).

Thank you both

Jen she said I should be 6wks2-3 but measuring 5wks5 My problem is that it has happened to many of the immune ladies I know - a hb is seen but measuring behind and then at the next scan its bad news. But i'm trying to focus on the good for now....

 

[peacebaby]

Thanks Milty!

Sorry about the temp i wonder if something is "trying to happen" but then for some reason fizzling out ?? Either way I think you're right your body is moving in the right direction and maybe just needs a nudge and some tweaking. Is your thyroid level good?

Ah yes, your long awaited for vacay is around the corner Your son must be so excited.

If you look at it this way...I had a scan at 5w 5d and only saw a gestational sac!!! Then saw hb @8 weeks and heard hb @10! So I think your ultrasound sounds very positive!!!!

 

[peacebaby]

Yeah Jen, trust me I thought about you all the way home Its weird, its like we got the opposite scans!

Peace don't waste another second worrying about the 3 days ...that is less the the width of a hair on the line for the tech to line up. Know what I mean??? Have you ever tried typing with someone looking over your shoulder.

Muuhhaaaa my mom was also 1 of 12...I am grand baby number 32...
One year we jokingly to a pic holding up # cards. Also my grams had 5 after 40


AFM I'm pretty sure I'm out. My temp dropped and I can't see my lines any more. They only got darker once and stayed that way until today

I really have no clue as to what's going on however I feel very positive and I'm very excited. I feel like I'm closer and somehow this is going to lead us to the answer to my fertility problem. I've broke my rule and been googling like mad but I can not find much of anything like this. I'm still very positive though because this is showing my body doing something wrong if that makes sense.


Anyway I'm going to be doing a lot of reading on my vacay next week.

My son is beyond excited and so am I


All my test always come back perfect. Your right though my doc said maybe we should try some thyroid meds to see what happens. See my levels were fine but she was think outside the box so to speak. Well when I got on them I gained weight, my hair started falling out, I felt warmer and not cold all the time but my charted temps were lower. Anyway we stoped them

It's hot down here already be prepared. We are going in Feb for 5 year b day. A friend at work said to pack as much breakfast and lunch food as possible so that you don't spend a TON of money on crappy food.

 

[Bravemom]

Peace I am so happy I came on now to check up on everyone . I am so so happy for you . Remember small steps Hun xxxxxxxx

 

[readyformore]

Peace......... (happy tears).

And a dance for the hb! That's worthy of celebrating.

3 days on an ultrasound is absolutely meaningless. Don't think about it again. Pretend you never heard it and focus on that sweet little person inside of you.

I bled with my third pregnancy. I was 9 weeks and had very bright red bleeding for half a day (needed a panty liner), followed with cramping for 2 more days. Her fourth birthday is next month.

 

[peacebaby]

Aw thank you ladies what would I do without you!

Ready thanks for sharing that, i'm going to keep it in my box of thoughts for those moments when i need help

 

[crystal443]

As for me, I got a scan today! The good news - for the first time ever we have a HB I am thrilled with that and so utterly thankful to God to finally see that little flicker. It took so long for them to say something that I gave up all hope, I was a trembling shaking mess! Also no sign of anything causing the spotting so we can safely assume its just the progesterone causing irritation. Then the ambiguous news - we're measuring 3days behind This worries me because it is typical with immune issues and doesnt bode well if it is down to that. But the sonographer was a student and the midwife seemed positive. I'm clinging to the hope that it was just the student's inexperience as she took ages to get the measurement or that it was late implantation which is likely given that I had a bfn at 12dpo. I'm hoping against all hope that this bean will grow grow grow


Of course I've googled for success stories and my sanity now depends on repeatedly reading these so feel free to inundate me with more. On to another nerve wrecking wait until the next scan! I'll be grey by the end of this.

Thanks for all your thoughts & support

Peace that is amazing news!!!!!! Don't worry about the 3 days behind though, your right if you implanted late it would be showing a few days behind. In the grand scheme of things from now until you deliver those days will change as you progress from scan to scan Scans are not 100% accurate either and as you said you had a student so try not worry.

Morning Ladies

Milty- Hang in there, that was really strange with the lines this cycle but maybe your body is trying to prepare for a pregnancy See what your temp does tomorrow

Jen- thanks, I won't test until the test date which is Sunday I have a bit longer lp so we'll see how it goes I was actually wondering if you had told your DD yet, I bet she'll be fine with it

HA- this is going to be a long few days until you get to day 5 How are you holding up?

Ready- I have no idea how fertile my family is they all had 2 kids and stopped so no idea really

H0peful-I hope you can get your immunity issues resolved quickly Your poor hubby must feel terrible but I understand where he was coming from, he just wanted to make sure you were around for your family Totally understandable

Liz- Good morning as predicted this is feeling like its dragging on

AFM- nothing much to report really, I had really bad cramps yesterday and had some light brown/yellowish discharge so not hopeful I was expecting a temp drop this morning but we'll see.

 

[peacebaby]

Thanks Crystal

Your temp is still high though and that could well have been IB discharge & cramping Fingers crossed xxx

 

[LLbean]

Crystal...thinking of you!!! Hope tomorrow surprises you and your temp goes up!

 

[crystal443]

Thanks ladies I'm ok either way this cycle still quite crampy today though

Liz- its going so slow but you'll be testing next week so not much longer to wait

 

[LLbean]

Meh this is the boooooorinnngggg part lol

Well today the progesterone sure kicked in... Well between that and the results of the elections back home lets just say I've been quite moody lol, and now a headache... Good times lol

 

[Milty]

Well Liz I know this doesnt help but you know they were rigged...

 

[peacebaby]

That's progesterone for you...it tends to get better later in the LP. Hehe what were the election results? The US election year is always so much more interesting then here but I didn't read any newspapers today

 

[crystal443]

Oh was that for venezuela, I heard something on the radio about that..chavez got back in didn't he?
