Is there a risk on the normal test which you had ?

With the standard test hun its just a panelling blood test & they measure the 12wk old babies fluid behind the neck, no physical risk as such but they give you a risk factor, im sure all is completely fine though hun X

Thanks for the info. Found out I can have it between 16-20 wks here so I haven't missed it. Clairbell how are you ? Is bump showing ?

Golden how are you ?

 

[claireybell]

Thats great Iak, so when you back over this side of the Pond? hows that lil dude doing in there? Any Movement feelings yet??

Think i just started feeling an odd pokey pop here & there hehe!

Yeah i have a bumpy going on, mainly bloated aswellfrom uterus pushing everything up & out lol, you??

Golden & poppet & srobbins hope you ladies are doing ok X

 

[GoldenRatio]

Hey ladies! Im doing good and hope you are all well.

I just had my last appointment with my doctor and we repeated my blood test. He confirmed pcos again but rest is all good, my progesterone was normal at least. So he gave me Metformin and i started that today. I will see him in three months and if i dont get pregnant by then, he will give me clomid.

 

[claireybell]

Hey Golden :wave:

Oh im so glad hun ye know when my sister had clomid (pcos also) she went back to see specialist after 12wks aswell & she was nearly 9wks pg!

Fx'd you be right there very soon chick

I just dont understand how clomid gonna help me since i already ovulate on my own. He said i have high LH compare to FSH so my eggs are not full developing or comin out at all. But if my eggs are not coming, why my temp shifts after ovulation. So complicated!!!

But he said metformin will balance FSH and LH and u will be pregnant because LH seems to be my only problem for now.

 

[claireybell]

Really hope the Metformin does the trick hun! Fx'd that in just a few wks time we will see big ol fat BFP pics from you oooh its gonna happen i can feel it Golden

 

[GoldenRatio]

I hope so

Golden- happy that things are looking up. Hopefully before you know it, you will be seeing that line.

Clairybell- your bump is cute. I have no bump! Haha some days I just look bloated. But def put weight on my stomach don't know if that's eating a lot more.. I'm hungry all the time. 2 weeks!!! Will be here before you know it. Well I hope so I'm going home soon 4 weeks time and I'm so excited to back with my family. Thank god my OH is here haha.

I've got my last scan in the US tomorrow..

 

[claireybell]

Thanku Iak

Its not all baby bump though, its mini bump pushing tummy up lol never had it with riley but my tummy muscles are pre stretched now ha ha!

Ooh notling until your back on home soil girly

Im sure you do have a lil pop out very down low on the tummy, i borrowed my friends baby hb doppler on Friday & have found hb a few times hehe still over 140bpm, & had some colostrum out of my right nipple in shower last night lol (sorry if tmi) its a new phases of this pg

Iak, your tickers gone funky? Its all the writing, either you've pasted the wrong ticker its not for a forum or have you updated something & accidently deleted some of the icons?

 

[iak]

Yes lower down I can feel a bump coming

It's so nice hearing the heartbeat. I ve had the same on mine and they look like they are abit cracked! I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going I'm sure it will slow down haha. Everyone keeps saying it will feel slow when it's hot in August and your 9 months ahah.

Yes I was messing around with it but sorted it out now. Did you do antenatal classes ?

 

[claireybell]

Thats what i reckon will happen aswell, it'll fly by until 25-30 wks ish then all of a sudden it'll be a fairly hot summer & it will DRAAAAAG lol! Saying that, it wasnt that hot the year Riley was born July 2012 it was cloudy & rainy the day he was born, his first birthday, omg scorcher!!

They didnt really do Antenatal 'breathing' technique classes here on nhs & i was gutted but im sure if i Googled it they may have some somewhere but im still in debate of VBAC or planned csection... :-/ Are you doing any Antenatal bits?

Nhs does do some classes in prep for birth & breastfeeding etc, im doing the breastfeeding refresher class (2hrs) Waterbirth class & theres another one but cant remember Lol

 

[Poppet2016]

Hey all.
Hope everyone is well.
I'm good. Around the 6 month mark and all going well.
I'm team pink :0)

Clairey - when do you find out? What would you like to have?

Golden - fingers crossed for you that all goes well and some happy news is looming for you!

 

[claireybell]

Poppet hey there lovely!! Awwww team Pink yay!!! Thats awesome congrats again
