Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[thethomsons]

Twinkle - I decided to arrange an early scan for 2 weeks after both mc had happened so had one at 8 weeks, then 10.5 then missed 12 due to op but felt better knowing at the 8 week one that I was passed the last two danger zones if you like. If I were you I would also get a doppler it has been an absolute god send to me. I used it successfully from 10 weeks with no bother at all and it really takes the worry away. If you don't hear something straight away go away and come back to it as baby can be hiding. I couldn't have got by without scans/doppler in first three months ONCE i was passed the two bad weeks IYKWIM!

Cupcake - So glad things going well and doc being so supportive. I am so so pleased for you!!

Garfie - Sorry you are feeling frustrated, I am hopeless reading charts but I am sending so many to you and am praying that you get that BFP VERY soon hun.

How are all you other pregnant ladies getting on?

AFM - I am still feeling really really sore and am a bit fed up to be honest. I think it may be hormones but I am sooo hormonal today it is unbelievable. Burst into tears earlier cause I felt like everything was getting on top of me. So sick of hardly being able to walk much without pain and being so stuck in the house. Also spoke to my boss as off long term at mo and she was ok but requires me to call her once a week to check in and say how I am etc. The last thing I want is to be calling her every bloomin week. ANyway its a have to so there you go. Baby wise I am hoping all is well, consultant used doppler on Tuesday and Midwife yesterday and both picked up heartbeat no problem. Got my 20 week scan on the 6th February so really hoping all is good with that and if so I am finally going to let myself get a little bit excited about this baby. Been hard with op and 2 mc to let ourselves believe this is happening to be honest. Won't be too long now till hopefully all is well!.

So girls do you think I should find out what I am having or should I leave it as a surprise. I am totally struggling to decide what to do? Any thoughts? I don't want to find out then wish I had waited! It is so hard!!

Anyway hope everyone ok and whatever stage you are at!

Oh also those further on, when did you first start feeling movement. I will be 17 weeks on Sunday and still wouldn't say I have anything major though have had few moments I have wondered if it is baby or wind lol. xx

Hello lovely ladies how are you all.

Elaine dont be down and i can totally see how you could be you have had a very traumatic time. The last thing you need is to be stressing at work. I cant believe how fast it is going your nearly 20 weeks wow!

Well this month my body is screaming ovulation at me. Soz tmi but lots of ew and + opk but alas we must not try this month. I dont want to be flying long haul if i was to get bfp.

Im doing snow dance here i want some snow!!

 

[twinkle_paws]

Aw SATH, must be so frustrating! At least you have a lovley holiday to concentrate on!

Thanks for the advice Elaine, I have booked a scan for 29/1/13, i should be 7weeks and 5 days then so past my 6 week hudle where things tend to stop. No sure about the dppler, think DH would think it was a bit OTT. I may change my mind tho. I'm just desperate to get to 12 weeks and start enjoying my pregnancy. Have started to feel a little bit nauseous a random ponts during the day so taking that as a good sign. Also slept for over 10 hours last night!!

Hope everyone else is well.

Manny, you must have 20 week scan soon???

xxxx

 

[cupcake1981]

Hey twinkle, did you book a private one? I don't think ill get any early nhs ones sadly, and I've spent so much on scans in the last year already. Having sad that I'll probably really need one in a few weeks, I'm not having a very positive day today!

Sath I think it's a good idea not to fly early on in preg......it's probably complete coincidence but with both my mcs I have flown medium haul and back very soon after ovulation and I always wonder.....definately not jetting off anywhere for now.

Elaine I don't think you would regret finding out the sex. I've been wondering the same thing. I know I'd want to know but think ill keep it to ourselves do that everyone else has a surprise (somehow?!?) x

 

[twinkle_paws]

Cupcake, my EPU are pretty good and give you early scan if you have a previous mc. I know how you feel, its so hard to stay positive. We just have to have faith in our bodies to grow out babies. Look at all the other ladies on the thread that are now very pregnant after 2 losses! There is no reason why that can't be us too! Remember PMA!!!!

Might be worth contacting your EPU or even asking your lovely GP if s/he will refer you for an early scan for reasurrance purposes xx

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah the lady at my EPU said if my symptoms disappeared again next time I could call and shed scan me, dunno if I can self refer tho. My doc will call me with my blood clotting test this week so ill ask him then. I should feel positive today had a good IC this am, am feeling very icky, super tired, sore boobies and the preggo headaches have started!

 

[CherylC3]

Cupcake call epu and ask for a scan so u hav had previous mcs, I called epu as soon as I got my BFP they then scanned me every 2 wks since 6 wks Hun...x

Twinkle not long till ur scan Hun..cx

Elaine i thot I wud hav regretted finding out the sex but I don't I love how its me and hubby's little secret can't wait till the baby's born so we can tell everyone tho..x

Hey to anyone I've missed, hope u are well..x

 

[twinkle_paws]

Got my 3+

 

[cupcake1981]

Yey!!!!!

 

[thethomsons]

Brill what a great thing to see Hun!!

 

[Lou15]

Elaine I didn't feel definite movements til 18-19 weeks, flutters before then but I wasn't really sure if it was baby or not!

I am really glad that we found out the sex, I feel like I can properly look forward to having him here now that we know. DH didn't want to find out but now he is glad that we did!

Cupcake and Twinkle, I am sure you will both be 3rd time lucky too! I phoned my GP when I got my BFP and just asked if we needed to do anything differently this time after 2 miscarriages. He referred me to a consultant at the hospital who had me scanned weekly til 12 weeks as he was a firm believer that a bit of reassurance has a hugely positive effect. Good luck and keep us posted xx

 

[loeylo]

Hey, I will probably not be a regular poster on here, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on here. I have suffered two miscarriages around the 7 week mark, and I am currently waiting to complete university and a pre registration year as a teacher before trying again, I am petrified to suffer a third loss when I eventually do start trying. I would love to start trying right away but I have my sensible head on because if I don't do my pre reg year just now I can't go back to complete it.
I am so reassured by how many of you have been successful in your third pregnancies and hope I will have the same experience as you when I try =]

 

[mannymoo]

Hi lovely ladies! Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend and ready to start another week!
I haven't posted in a while so going to try catch up all in one post. Apologies if I miss anyone or anything!

Sath - can't believe OV is screaming at you and you can't do anything about it! I've probably missed the boat with this one but my advice would have been to just keep DTD and see what happens. You would probably get a great big BFP this month just because you don't want it to happen! I did long haul flights early on in all 3 of my pregnancies. My first miscarriage was a blighted ovum and my doctor assures me that flying has nothing to do with this. I flew long haul several times during my second pregnancy at around 4, 5 and 6 weeks. Baby was doing totally fine until 10 1/2 weeks so again doctor assures me it is unrelated. I also had a UK-RSA flight earlier in this pregnancy and so far all is fine. I researched it quite a bit and actually a lot of info out there says that flying is good after OV because it causes your tubes to expand slightly and helps sperm swim up and fertalised egg move down. But who knows whats right and whats wrong. Got another RSA-UK flight in a few weeks which will probably be my last big flight before baby.

Lou - I think it might be time to take a step back with the work. Is there anyway you can rather help out with admin and other tasks instead of doing field work? It sounds like your body and baby are telling you to slow down. Hope you are feeling a bit better?

Garfie - glad to see that your cycle is showing clear ovulation this cycle. Also, it seems to be longer than your previous cycles so fingers crossed that is a good sign. When are you going to test and do you feel anything??

Cupcake - I'm very pleased to hear your doctor is being supportive and really hope that the aspirin helps with this pregnancy. You ladies are being very good about your PMAs. I remember how hard it was in the early days (and even now still). Im sorry to say that I'm pleased you are starting to feel bad. Its a very positive sign!

Twinkle - hooray for 3+ on the digi. It is such a good milestone to cross. RE the debate on early scan or not, I am a strong believer in getting the scan done. Especially after my blighted ovum, the early scans have gone a long way in reassuring me that everything is fine. Its very likely you will see the little heartbeat and it will be a wonderful experience. Like Cheryl and Lou, I had scans regularly (every 2 weeks) and the reassurance was fantastic. I still freaked out before each scan but afterwards felt amazing. Definitely do it!

Elaine - hope you are feeling stronger every day. RE finding out gender, its such a tough call. I was desperate to find out a few weeks ago but DH was not keen and now I am quite pleased that I don't know. My best friend had a little girl on boxing day and the excitement of what was coming was incredible. I can't wait for that excitement. Although, had I had my own way, I would know if my LO was a boy or girl On the movement side, I felt what I thought was baby at 14 weeks. Then didn't feel anything for a few weeks but have been having very definite movement since about 16/17 weeks. It has always been lower down in my abdomen but I think baby changed position over weekend because now I am getting little flutters low down (instead of kicks and punches) and more stronger movement by my navel. Love the feeling so much. I often just lie on the couch feeling LO moving about.

Cheryl - does that mean you are keeping gender a secret for just you and DH? Does everyone know that you know what it is?

Loeylo - welcome to the thread and I'm so sorry about your previous losses. It sounds like you are being very level headed about your situation and I really hope that when you're ready to try again, it works out perfectly for you. Keep in touch with us.

Poptart, Khloee, Laubull and anyone else I've left out, hope you are well?

FMS - all is fine except I had a bad night last night. Went to bed feeling fine but every time I moved from my one side to the other, I got so dizzy that it woke me up. When I got up this morning, it was quite bad too but seems to have gone now. I called my ob/gyne and he said to come in tomorrow if it continues tonight. Baby was moving this morning so I hope its not serious but have decided to take a sofa day anyway.

I had a lovely evening last night going to visit a friend who has 2 month old triplets!! Hectic! All three are girls and one of the girls is still in hospital as they were born at 29 weeks. But they are all on the road to recovery and I got to cuddle the 2 healthy girls which was lovely. She had IVF and although they only put 2 eggs back, she ended up with 3 babes! Will try post a picture when I find my camera cable!

Hope everyone has a good week. Although if you've read this entire post, it is probably nearly the end of the week by now!

xx

 

[garfie]

Mannymoo - Wow everything is sounding great for you hun

I have tested this morning but got a negative - still no witch though so the cycle continues for now

I am back at my FS on the 22 hopefully he will have some answers

In the meantime I have my son's 12 Birthday coming up on Thursday when I will test again - given half a chance

Have a lovely day ladies

[mannymoo]

9dpo is still really early Garfie. I think there is still a really good chance for this cycle. Going to be keeping an eye out for your updates

 

[cupcake1981]

Garfie 9dpo is so early! Keep the faith!

 

[SATH]

Hey everyone. Garfie dont lose hope ive never got a bfp at 9 dpo its very early always about 13 dpo for me.

Manny we didnt bd it would have been typical of me to get bfp but i would hav been terrified we have 8 fligts in total. Holiday relaxation then bfp thats my request please if only.

 

[PopTart28]

Hi lovely ladies

I hope you are all well and looking after yourselves with all the snowy weather were having at the moment.

I can't believe im 30 weeks!!!!!!!

I am totally loving my bump, wiggly and kicking baby and how amazing my body is...

Not liking the sickness, aches/pains, heartburn and acid reflux that have got really bad the last month so now ive got those and some new changes to deal with.....slightly strange but im coping ok i think....

I am looking forward to my next anti-natal classes and am enjoying my yoga and swimming at the moment.
Also ive gotten pretty good at making bits for bump - my blanket is almost complete and ive got a gorgeous swaddle/sleep sack made out of my nans crochet sqares on the go as well - cant wait till its finished and baby arrives so i can try it out...
Are any of you thinking about of making anything special for your little ones??

Ive finished one very special friend tho that im soooo excited for baby to meet - i had made a sock monkey but wanted to have a go at something alittle more challenging so decided to try make a crochet monkey - and ive just finished it!!! soooo proud of myself its really sweet - ill put a pic up as soon as DH returns from his weekend away with my camera.

I also had a funny yet embarassing thing happen this week - I went to visit my friend who's recently had her little surprise little girl....
Shes now just over 3 weeks old and just the cutest little munchkin ive ever seen. So we were having a cup of tea and chatting while her little one was having a sleep and when she started to whimper and then cry because she was hungry again my friend got up and said its still odd how her boobs leak just before she starts to cry as she knows when her little girl is due a feed....

Anyway the second time she started crying alittle louder - i had to laugh and we both thought it was really funny that it was not just her boobs that leaked - Oh yes ladies MY BOOBS started leaking because my body had reacted to her little girl crying out for a feed!!!!!!!

I am constantly impressed and absolutely amazed by my body - what it can do, how it reacts to things and the life it is keeping so nice and safe as well as giving it all it needs till the time is right for me to be able to hold in my arms...

I hope you are all staying positive no matter what your body is throwing at you lately and just remember if i can get this far and feel like this, you can too.....

Sending hugs on this chilly but beautiful snowy afternoon, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[twinkle_paws]

Aw what a lovley post Poptart! How strange and amazing about the boob leaking, never knew that could happen. You are three quarters there now, wow!! Sounds like you have been busy making some lovely bits and bobs for your baby. I would like to have a go at knitting or crocheting a blanket prehaps, you have given me some inspiration!

Garfie, I see you have started a new cycle, fingers crossed for you xx

SATH, not long til your holiday now, hope you have a lovely time.

Manny, how are you now? Has the dizziness settled?

Cupcake - how are you doing? Have you had the results of your blood tests?

Elaine, have you dicided if you are going to find out the sex? Hope you are taking it easy and the pain is settling.


AFM, curretly waiting for DH to com home from work as he has been held on and I am starving!!!!Also feeling quite nauseous with the hunger so will have to go and get a snack. Is a good sign though so can't complain Also very glad it's the weekend, so tired. Have some exciting news too, I'm going to be a auntie! My SIL had her 12 week scan on wed and everything is going well. So excited!! I'm an only child and DH only has a sister so she was my only chance of being an auntie.

Hope everyone else I haven't mentioned is doing well. Have a lovley weekend xxxxx

 

[Lou15]

Twinkle sounds like things are progressing well! How lovely that you are going o be an Auntie and your LO will have a cousin just a few weeks older!

Yes Manny I am also wondering if you are ok and if the dizziness has stopped? Must have been amazing seeing your friends triplet girls!

PopTart, 3/4 of the way there, hooray! I don't know how to knit or crotchet and I know lots of my Mum's friends are already busy knitting away for our baby, but, like you, I was really keen to make something for him myself. We have chosen a Winnie-the-Pooh theme for his nursery so I decided to make a Winnie and Tigger latch hook rug to put up on the wall. I had made a latch hook rug years ago and it's really easy, just very time consuming, which DH is pleased about as he says it will mean plenty of hours of sitting down! Think I have done about 5 rows out of 85 so far......will need to really get down to it once maternity leave starts!

Elaine, how are you and how is your pain? Are you able to do more yet? x

Cupcake, how are things progressing for you?

SATH, have a lovely holiday and try to get all relaxed ready for a BFP on your return!

Garfie, we are all still rooting for you hun xxx

Can't remember if I mentioned this or not at the time but when I saw my GP last week he said he thought my consultant would induce me at 37 weeks if I want to as baby is full term by then and because I am still feeling so sick and so sore with my pelvis
