Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[mommylov]

Happy birthday Lou!!!!!

Garfie, hubby was half asleep when I was screamin gout from the bathroom for him to come over hahah. I said "I see a line, do you?!!!?" He rubbed his eyes and squinted and said I think so. So I said I was going to take a digi and he told me to wait thinking that there wasnt enough HCG to turn it + but I did it anyway and showed him/. he had the biggest smile on his face and hugged me and kissed me tons. We are both over the moon but really nervous too!

 

[Laubull]

Hi girlies!

Sorry I've been so crap at updating recently.

Garfie, your chart is looking amazing! When do you get your latest hcg results?

Mommylov CONGRATULATIONS, I hope this is your forever baby

Sath, fingers crossed for a BFP at the end of this cycle.

Manny I'm pleased you're enjoying maternity leave. I hope baby comes when you're ready.

Lou happy birthday! Matthew is sooo gorgeous, I can't believe he's 4 weeks already! Are you trying to get him into a routine or just taking it as it comes?

Elaine how are you feeling? Not long left now!

Anyone else I've missed I hope you're ok

AFM I am READY, listen to me baby! The house is sparkling, the nursery is ready, I've even had a pedicure and wax today, please come now! I've been feeling off today with period type cramps on and off all day but don't want to get my hopes up. Got pregnancy yoga tonight so hoping that'll kick start things, plus I'll throw in some ball bouncing and pineapple later, lets hope it works!!

[mommylov]

Oh lau I hope the baby is on thier way too!!! I dont know if you like spicy but they say that can help too!

 

[mannymoo]

Laubull fingers crossed baby comes soon. It's so frustrating towards the end, isn't it? Every little ache makes me think maybe its starting. Af type cramps are supposedly a good sign. Lou and Cheryl - what were your first signs of labour?

Happy birthday Lou!!!

 

[Lou15]

Eek Laubull you are so close too! I am so excited!

Manny, I'm afraid I had period type pains for weeks before I had Matthew, then the only proper sign I had was starting to have a show in the middle of the night, then pains got a bit worse and then later that day they started the induction so not sure how long it would have taken otherwise! Sorry not very helpful!

 

[CherylC3]

Hey I had af pains a few wks before but the 4 days before they were quite painful. X

 

[garfie]

AFM - Phoned docs at 8.30 this morning and said results are back but doc not read them

Phoned at lunch to be told the doc is very busy with other patients and will get back to me - I hated to do this so I asked for an emergency call back

He called me and gave me the results HCG 1660 PROG 44

He asked me to pass these on to my specialist and see whether it made a difference the prog level had dropped or was he going to recommend injections or something.

Rang the specialist - answer phone, so rang emergency number - answer phone - getting worried so phoned my doc back - asked for another call back

He phoned back within 5minutes told him the situation - said to leave it with him

Got a call from the nurse saying my specialist was out of the country and they couldn't wait - so Ive got an early scan tomorrow at 11.00am.

So now I know I won't sleep tonight - but in a way I should hopefully begin to have answers tomorrow right

Mommylov congrats congrats great news. I just knew it!! Bet you are super excited and even more nervous. Its gonna be fine this time.

Garfie sounds like they are taking good care of you. First look at your little bean tomorrow.

Lou hope you had a great birthday.

Lau lots of yoga, walking etc etc. Ive heard accpuncture can be used to bring on labour if your feeling brave. Wont be long now.

Manny how you doin hon? Relaxin i hope, feet up and chilling out.

Afm, well i'm thoroughly let the side down so lots of bd'ng next few days. Got ew but no +opk yet prob sat/sun. Got nothing else planned all weekend x

 

[mommylov]

Garfie great betas!!!! Hope your scan goes well tomorrow... Im sure it will!!!

Sath, EW sounds good... I hope that your +opk is just around the corner!!

My betas came back and were in the 30's. Dr said they were where she expected them to be which I guess is good. I was about 12-13dpo yesterday so Im hoping its just still early but time will tell. She wants me to continue to get them drawn every 48 hours until they are at 2000 and she will then do an ultrasound. My nerves have def kicked in and Im so scared. I want this baby so bad and am praying that this will be my healthy earth baby!

 

[mannymoo]

Garfie - great numbers for HCG. I really hope you see your little bean tomorrow but please don't be despondent if you don't see anything. When my HCG for 3300, we still couldn't see anything on screen. My doctor had been a bit concerned at the time as apparently you should see something from 2500 upwards but it might just be too early. I definitely think ask for a progesterone supplement. I swear that its the only reason I've made it this far as I have had progesterone on the low side for all my pregnancies. Keeping everything crossed for a wonderful scan tomorrow!

Any mommyluv I just looked back at my previous levels and my HCG was 41 at 12dpo - so really not a lot higher than yours. Sounds good to me and great that they will be testing you every 48 hours.

Sath get busy gal! These BFPs seem to come in three's so lets hope your the third!!

FMS - went for another growth scan today and doctor still thinks baby is on its way. My fluid is quite low so I have been booked for induction at 7am on Tuesday. Yikes! He still thinks it will come before then but I guess by the end of Tuesday I will be a mummy. I can't wait. Will keep you all posted!

Afternoon Ladies

I'm back........ although he was impressed with my full bladder - he couldn't get an angle

So he tried with an empty one after constantly saying to me we may not see anything as you are 4-5 weeks - I think he was amazed he saw the sac and the beginning of the yolk sac

He was amazed so was I and hubby so far so good ladies I am growing a baby - which is such a relief after a blighted ovum on pregnancy number 2!

So I go for a follow up scan next week - he said normally we wait 10-14 days but he could tell I didn't want to wait and was anxious

No more HCG or PROG tests just scans

Will try and catch up properly later for now

[Laubull]

Garfie that is amazing news, I am sooo pleased for you I hope that little sac develops perfectly for you Everything crossed for your next scan.

Mommylov I'm pleased your numbers came back looking good. Will you get an early scan, can't remember if you've said?!

Sath enjoy your weekend of BDing, I've got a good feeling about it ;-)

Manny I am so jealous you've got a date to work to, I am really struggling not knowing when! I hope everything goes well with the induction, unless you go into labour before!!

Lou/Cheryl, I thought you'd both say that about period pains, how disappointing, I was hoping it was an imminent labour sign!

AFM, well as you can probably tell I want my baby NOW! I'm impatient and don't like waiting, pleaseeee come baby bull! I really thought last night might be the start as I had terrible back ache but then this morning it was gone, arghhhhh! Going to bounce away the afternoon on my ball and eat a very spicy dinner tonight, if DH was up for it I'd throw in DTD too!

Hugs to all and anyone I've forgotten. X

 

[mommylov]

Garfie... yay for scans only from here on out!!!!!!

Lauball, I had my first beta on wed evening (that morning was my bfp) and they came back in the 30's. I was scared that was on the low side I have my second betas today and will have the results tomorrow. For those that had betas in the begning, do you remember where you started at? I knwo Im onmly 4 weeks but Im so nervous and just scared.

 

[mannymoo]

Mommylov I posted mine yesterday. They were only 41 at 12dpo so I think yours sound fine. It's all about the doubling. Please let us know what they say tomorrow.

 

[mommylov]

Oh oops... pregnancy brain maybe kicking in already? lol I will!!!

 

[Laubull]

Sorry mommylov I never had betas done but 3-4 weeks is very early, looking on the net they expect as low as 5 so 30 should be good

 

[mommylov]

I guess today's test will really tell?

 

[SATH]

Lau, manny last few days who knows maybe this weekend could be it. Very exciting, are you both team yellow?

Garfie and mommylov hope things progressing well. Wont be long till those strong symptoms kick in.

Yep busy weekend oh is looking very happy its a hard life! Fingers crossed.

 

[bagpuss19]

Hi everyone!
Glad to hear all the positive news. I'm toying with the idea of hiring a doppler as I'm getting nervous again and at 15 weeks can't feel anything yet BUT I'm terrified of not finding a hb . I'm also wondering if I should get some counselling to try rationalise things or did those ladies further on than me feel like I do. It seems a scan reassures me for about a week! I really thought the 12 week one would keep me going for ages but no, I think I know too much. It's very difficult to explain to people too!

Xx

 

[mannymoo]

Bagpuss I definitely would have felt the same as you had it not been for my Doppler. I didn't use it often - maybe once a week - but I would have gone crazy without it. Totally normal to feel the way you are feeling now.

Sath are you in 2ww?

Mommylov what happened with the hcg Hun?

Laubull still no baby??

Garfie yay for ticker!!

Hi to everyone else! Xx
