Lisa i meant to ask, are you having any tests done? I spoke with my mw and she said I wilk prob come back high risk for downs cause of my age, but I came back medium risk with ds and I was 36 then, she said the CVS test has replaced the amnio (had one of those with dd12 as blood test said high risk downs, what rubbish she was fine) and the chances of mc are 0.01 percent or something. Guess ill have to see what happens at 12 week scan xxxxx

Hi Becks i had a high risk with DS and i was 30 then. Think it was 1 in 100. Cant remember. Everything was fine though. Was worried that i would have the same again but not necessarily so. But obv will be higher risk due to age. X

 

[Oasis717]

Yes that's similar to me Jo, with dd12, that's when they did just the blood test and it came back high risk, I was 16 weeks and shed just started kicking, the amnio was fairly painful, then I had the awful 4 day wait as it was over weekend to find out she was ok. Guess will have to wait and see what happens this time, at least the tests have advanced since then xxxx I have my date for 12 week scan, three weeks from tomorrow xx

My sister came back high risk at 29 for DS, she had amino and all was good.

With my DS I had a private nuchal scan, I was 38 at time. It came out low risk with maternal age of a 15 year old!

When I had nuchal with the one I lost last year, was 40. Before test was done it started as high risk, but at the end it was the same as the one when I was 38!

I know each PG is different.

I could have had nuchal on NHS last week, but it is only about 80% accurate and you have to wait for results. So I am having private nuchal this week, had bloods done for it last week, this is 97% accurate.

 

[josie1234]

Yes, amnio was very painful. think I had to wait about 2 weeks for results. didn't tell my mum I had high risk cos I know she would have been on the phone every 5 mins asking if results were in. Here's opk for today. I am now on cd 22 so not long to wait. hubby took sample in and they won't test it because it wasn't in the right pot. it was the pot he got given from his doctor in the medical centre. so we now have to go to the hospital to collect a pot to do a sample! grrr.

Aw Josie - What a faff! - but will all be worth it when you get the BFP

Ladies I can't remember having a nuchal scan with either of my boys I think if I'm lucky to get that far I will just leave it - there is a little boy in the village who has downs and I'm friends with his mum although he is hard work I am sure what an absolutely fantastic personality he has. I have one child with special needs (autism) so the more the merrier I say Mind you if you get extra scans now that might be different

Is there anyone else apart from me and Josie still waiting for BFP?

Hope you all had a lovely mother's day - I did we went down to see my SIL and our 2 year old nephew kept pointing at me and saying baby aaarrrrgh he's just started saying words wonder if he knows something I don't certainly was a conversation stopper

Hope all you preggo ladies are being extra careful if there is snow where you are

Hey Fiona, we don't have any lying snow here, jus the odd little ball here And there.

My DS(2) just made me smile. The TV was off and he was stood there with the remote in his hand. "Mommy the tele is off, it wasn't my fault!" I asked him whose fault it was "it was my arm!"

You gotta love them

Just studying your chart again, temps look great and DTD is excellent timing with a gap between, perfect!

 

[crazymam]

Hope everyone isn't too cold today?
Looks like you are now in the 2ww Josie, fingers crossed then.
I have just woke up after what was supposed to be a short catnap after tea and ended up as an hour snooze!
Going to have a nice bath and put my pyjamas on and have an early night I think x

 

[Oasis717]

Yes very cold today I thought I was going to have a good day today but as soon as I'd had lunch that was it, sickness, headaches etc, my mood is shocking today! I swear I've never been this moody in any pregnancy lol xxxxx

 

[crazymam]

Yes very cold today I thought I was going to have a good day today but as soon as I'd had lunch that was it, sickness, headaches etc, my mood is shocking today! I swear I've never been this moody in any pregnancy lol xxxxx

all good signs though!!! I am ok when I first wake but it hits me about 11ish and lasts all day. I wasn't as bad as this with my other pregnancies , except the twins, not sure if I could face another set of twins though
I have only asked for one lol The tiredness is the same as my other pregnancies though, completely zonked!
My first sign of miscarrying was when I woke up raring to go on my cross trainer, so hoping that doesn't happen until after the 9 months.
We were talking about the downs test etc too. Can you get these tests earlier if you go private?
I was going to pay for a scan at 6 weeks anyway just to reassure myself, as if a clearblue and 6 internet cheapies and feeling sick and tired with sore boobs wasn't enough! I just really need to see a heartbeat this time. x

In the past bloods wee taken at 16 weeks for DS but don't know if that is still the case.

The nuchal scan can only be done between 11+ 4 and 13 + 6 weeks, give or take a day.

Glad you and Becks are both feeling bad!

Hello everyone , had an amazing time at Crufts . A friend of mine was competing in the agility with his collie Bonnie . Spent a fortune on our three fur babies who are now all happily playing with balls and tugging of varying shapes and sizes lol. Well me I am now DPO 8 . I have been feeling exhausted ( not sure if that is from the travel and two hectic days or something else ) have been feeling very low grade nauseous on and off every day mostly in the pm but not to the extent of reaching or anything just a feeling in my tummy . My cm has changed from clear watery to / lotion and creamy . No sore boobs at all which I had the last time round from the very beginning . Oh when I was away I did have a very vivid dream that I was pregnant again but mis carrying . Went for a scan and the doctor said yes we are sorry you are mis carrying this baby but your other baby is doing fine and is measuring 17 weeks ! Weird orwhat lol.....

Glad to hear everyone is feeling like crap and heaving a lot )

 

[Oasis717]

Glad you had a good time Regina, not so good about the dream though! Xxx
I was asked by my mw if I agreed to the testing which will be done on 2nd April at my 12 week scan, I'm just gunna wait and see what the results say and then decide xxxx
