Good luck with your interview Jo

Becks - Ooops I have two boys and they are the best (well most of the time)

Lisa - So pleased your numbers were better - as if you haven't enough to worry about

Dawn - Docs always go by LMP don't they? as Lisa said a scan is the only way to know for deff

Regina - I know I was so nervous yesterday - hope I haven't jinxed it

AFM - I am spotting this morning only a tiny bit and I'm trying not to worry - I have my scan on Friday so we will see

Love to all the other ladies

I'm thinking the scan will tell all. My doc and I disagree on LMP. He thinks I had a phantom twin so that LMP would have been 3/26/13. However, I feel that I just had a late period on 5/1 considering my HCG went from 25 on 4 days late of AF and then dropped to 12 two days later. Then I started OPK on May 6th (cuz i stopped bleeding) and didn't show a happy face (ovulating) until May 9th. Then I had some cramping and spotted from the 14th to the 16th and thank God no more bleeding or spotting. So you see where the doc and I don't agree cuz he swears I couldn't get pregnant in between...I'm like "whatever". Thinking of changing docs. I'll decide after I speak to him within the hour when the office opens. Thanks!

It's so frustrating when you know that you know your body better than your doc, and you can't get him on the same page! I hope everything works out. When it comes to the human body, never say never!!

Bash numbers are looking very good, I would be very frustrated with doctor if I was you.
Garfie try not to worry, its very common to spot.
Lisa its the screening for abnormalities I am waiting for, been a week now, nuchal scan was fine , but still don't know if I am high or low risk so don't need if I need an amnio.trying not to stress over it.
I have only just bought some new bras at weekend, was shcked to find I have gone up two cup sizes at least!!! and the bras still feel tight!

 

[bash73]

Update...ultrasound tomorrow 5p then talk to doc. He told me looking for the sac, should be able to see it with my numbers. SOOO I say, are you considering this from March or May, I think he's on the same page now as I am with May but tomorrow we'll know something more hopefully as we have a holiday weekend coming up. Until tomorrow night, good luck to all!

Thanks for the good luck wishes. Will find out by the end of the week. What will be will be.

Not sure what is happening with opk as not had pos yet

Regina - how's things going with your cycle? Time goes so slow eh?

Jan - how you feeling? Bet you can't wait for the results.

Fi - glad the bra is a lot more comfy for you. How are you today?

Lisa - not sure what is happening with my cycle as they don't seem to be the same each month.

Kat - are you healing up ok now?

[Left wonderin]

Best of luck tommrow bash , hopefully you will be clearer then

 

[josie1234]

Sorry Becks - thought I had mentioned you. hope you are ok x

Hi everyone else

Garfie I'm sure any spotting is scary , hang in there girl only 2 more sleeps to the scan I know spotting in early pg is " normal " read a stat that 70% of women get some form of spotting but I'm sure it does not make you worry any less

Jo great news about the interview , I wish you all the luck in the world with it . It's yours for the taking on another note if that lady is right I want her number !!!!

Hi Becks and dance hope you and your bumps are having a lovely day

I heard a very interesting item on the radio about new research into fertility . They said that they have discovered 70 % of all women's eggs will not result in babies due to chromosomal abnormalities ! That's every women ! They also said that most eggs fertilise if timing is right but never implant due to this fact ! They have done the research for Ivf and have now developed this screening of embryos which can detect the differences in how they develop within the first 12 hours to choose the egg without the abnormalities for transfer . It apparently increases the rate of success of Ivf by 56 % !!!! So as it stands the stats are 1 in 4 success rate , this process will increase the odds to just over 1 in 2 !!

No wonder its so bloody difficult to have a baby . 70 % !!!!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol that's ok Jo fingers crossed for the job xxxx
Regina wow 70% that's a massive amount lost but I guess when you consider how many eggs we're born with its not surprising! Xx
Dawn wishing you loads luck for the scanxxxx
Hope everyone else is ok having a bit of a down day, must be my hormones but I just felt a bit sorry for myself that I'm still so ill and now with all the pains etc and lack of sleep its just getting me down, I was on another thread where the women were stunning with tiny frames and perfect bumps, I feel like a whale in comparison, I'm up 7lbs now so more than I wanted by this point I think just from not being able to walk as much as I could. It's worth it if course it is, whatever it takes, but I've forgotten what it feels like not to feel ill or be in pain and worry as I know it will only get worse the bigger I get. I'm not usually down so must be my hormones xxxxxxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks , your so Intitled to a down day or two ! It's hard work growing a human xxx be nice to yourself and take it easy

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Regina, my dh said exactly the same thing but I feel guilty for two reasons, one cause I don't care what it takes but I still can't help but find it hard even though I want this more than anything and two cause I feel I've got no right being a bit down with you lovely ladies that are still waiting to fall. Dh said I shouldn't be so hard on myself and I'm only human and of course it's hard to be ill for so long, hopefully I might get more than 4 hours sleep tonight and feel better tomorrow, it's hard sleeping propped right up but I wake every hour in agony with my hips if I don't xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

I can kinda understand those reasons Becks but I still agree with your hubby , you are being very hard on yourself . It must be just awful to feel sick for months on end no matter even if there is a baby at the end ! It would wear you out !!! And as for the other one , you Becks have walked in our shoes and one day we will all walk in yours don't feel bad about feeling bad , when I get mine ill be such a moan

 

[Oasis717]

Lol, that end bit made me smile, thank you, you are a lovely person and that did help xxxxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Thanks but really I'm being selfish , just want to make sure you are lined up and forewarned for to return the favour of listening to me even when ya are up all night boob feeding ! HEHEHEHEHEHEHE it will be payback time

 

[josie1234]

Becks you are bound to feel a bit down when you have been so poorly. I will prob moan for the full pregnancy lol even though its what i want. Hopefully you will have a better sleep and feel a bit happier tomorrow. Xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Lol deal Regina! And thanks Jo, you ladies have really cheered me up xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Oh JO we are goona give her SUCH a headache with all our moaning

 

[josie1234]

Of course lol. We will have a list of whinges. Ha ha.
