and hope I haven't missed anyone!
Hi Ladies!
Been out with a bad cold, no fun! but I've had enough decaf tea float a ship and am laying on the couch watching lifetime in my pjs! Hubby left enough water, crackers and tissues around me and is coming home for lunch to visit.
I had my second blood test yesterday to see if my hcg levels went up (they were 122 Monday) and while they more than tripled to 426, it's still too low for me to even come in for the first appointment! She said wait until Monday or Wed next week to get it into the 20,000s but it may take longer than that! While I'm not freaking out, I and not liking the waiting!
Hi Fallen Amberswelcome!
Padbrat - even though I am very new here, I have read your other posts and you have been in my thoughts and prayers daily. Wishing you strength and peace!
missyt - I am grateful you are now out of that bad relationship and into a healthy and loving one! Onmymind is right - he would have just transferred the beatings to children or even you. It takes a strong woman to leave, remember that!
Hi to everyone else this morning, hope you are all doing well!
Hello ladies!
My goodness, it's been a really long time since I visited this website! How many of my over 35+ friends are still here?
Those of you I have not met yet - hello! I just found out I am pregnant again (I am 39 years old) and of course I am terrified after suffering a MMC last year. (This will be my first child and I am praying nothing goes wrong this time).
After the mc last year, it was easier on me to stay away from anything baby related, hence my disappearance. I went through a pretty bad time getting over it and it's taken us 9 months to conceive again!
I hope everyone is doing well!!!
Ok, y'all. I just got back from the fertility clinic and am still a little numb, and more than a little worried.
OMG Lava!!! - How exciting...and yeah, I'm sure a bit scary but EVERYTHING is going to be just fine. Sending megain prayer.
Ok, y'all. I just got back from the fertility clinic and am still a little numb, and more than a little worried. If you are interested in my appointment, I'm going to do a spoiler post & try to hide it. If you aren't interested, you can just move on to the next post.
They saw TWO gestational sacs with a yolk sac in each. One was a 15 mm gestational sac with a 4 mm yolk sac; the other 13 mm with a yolk sac of 3 mm. No fetal pole or heartbeat was detected. I am 5 weeks 6 days. We will go back next Thursday to see if there has been any development. The doctor did not seem overly concerned about the lack of fetal pole or heartbeat based on my gestational age and said that this was an early scan, but he was cautious. They did not check my HCG or progesterone as my previous numbers looked good and he said that right now, there was no point to stick another needle in me. So, I've search the internet and seen that at 5 1/2 to 6 weeks, it is not uncommon to see no fetal pole. I had prepared myself to not see the heartbeat, but was really expecting to see a baby. DH & I are in shock (omg, possibly twins!) and scared and now can only wait.
