[Oasis717]

I don't blame you for booking a private scan, I would too although I think you should of been offered one, it was my doctor that referred me for one not my mw have you asked your doc? Brill about your BMI, mine is 31 wish mine was 20 lol xxxxx

 

[crazymam]

Becks it takes two weeks to get an appt with my doctor usually and they just tell you to talk to midwife! Well thats what happened last time. Just going to pay for, small price to pay for some peace of mind. X

 

[Oasis717]

Oh dear hun that's not good at all, shame you have to pay but like you I'd do the same, there's no way I could wait 12 weeks knowing nothing, can't wait to hear all about it when you have it, I'm a nervous wreck with my own scans but I get so excited about you ladies xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Hello ladies

Crazy that is good news you are so fit and healthy ya could be the socks off some 20 year olds lol...

Jo I'm sure you are going up the walls ! Any bleeding now ? Hi Oasis think me and you share a Bmi lol.
AFM : still no sign of AF , nothing zilch ...... Also felt nauceous all afternoon and can't because I'm anxious or imagining it as I have tested and know I'm not pregnant . Have had it since 8 DPO on and off . Have one test left cb but not till Friday I'm 99% defo I'm out but if no show by then ill test again for the heck of it .

 

[Oasis717]

Lol do we I meant to loose weight first but I never seemed to! You know some women don't get positives until 16/17 dpo or more! You're def not out and your symptoms sound spot on, I do get excited for you ladies, it would be amazing if we were all expecting together I'd be so happy for you all, I know we are all friends but have never met but you ladies really do mean a lot to me and I'm so rooting for you all, right that's enough of that I'm too emotional today I'll have a few tears in a min xxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Yes i ve had more bleeding. OH got really fed up about it too. I get excited hearing about the scans and POAS.

 

[Oasis717]

Ooooo I can't believe it's taken me until today to find this info but the fetal medical centre in London is offering the Harmony test (£750) for free for ladies that book a £180 nuchal scan and can attend twice at 10 and 12 weeks, I've just received an email from them confirming this is the case, the Harmony tests is 99% accurate via a simple blood test for testing for abnormalities inc Downs, as I'm 11 weeks on Thursday I prob won't qualify, I found the info too late I think gutted! Xxxx

becks ring them today! You.might just make it!
Jo i think sometimes we dont realise our lovely men feel it too but you know you are ivulating so it will happen just keep telliing yourself that and all you other ladies waiting too! the midwife yesterday was telling me not to worry about anormalities etc and said there has been huge increase in 40 somethings having babies and healthy babies at that especially if they ovulating healthily too. X

 

[Left wonderin]

My doc told me that too , said average age now for having 1st babyis 37 , she also said women are looking after themselves so much better , have a longer life span that people need to be thinking differently about time frames ( she herself is 42 and 6 months preg with her 2nd baby )

Well still no show of the witch here ...........................

 

[josie1234]

Becks that sounds good. Can't believe you found that. Did you check with them if you can do it? That's good Crazy, I think we do keep ourselves a bit healthier. Left - hope for us all. There was an actress from Shameless on daytime TV, think called Tina - not sure if that's her character name, and she is near 50's or maybe over and is trying for baby and said she feels healthier and has had tests to say that she is healthier than when she was 30.

Yes, men feel it too. AFM - not much blood overnight. See how it is today.

 

[dancareoi]

Morning all, MIA a bit yesterday, busy day

Becks, my scan was a a place called MUMS in Solihull. Although it might be worth giving the clinic a ring and seeing what they say.

Regina, it would be interesting to see your chart to see what's going on, when did you OV?

Crazy are you going to book a private scan?

Jo, chin up.

Fiona, what's happening with you?

Had midwife app yesterday and she heard baby on Doppler. Little monkey kept wriggling around so everything she got the heartbeat it wriggled off again!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol really, wow that's so lovely, so glad you got to hear! I've got to wait til 16 weeks to see my mw again, they don't see us as much in this area when you already have children, thanks for the info, not sure it's worth ringing the fmc, dh can't get time off work until next week and I'm 12 weeks next Thursday, gutted though wish I'd found the info earlier, a 750 test for nothing is just my luck to miss it! Oh well xxxxxx

Do you have a 12 week scan booked?

I will be seeing my consultant again next week and also have a midwife app next week, she said I can see her as often as I want. She lives near me and passes m house everyday, she said any time I'm worried she'll call in on her way home to see me!

 

[Oasis717]

What a wonderful mw! Yes my NHS scan is booked for the 2nd April 10.40 xx

 

[Oasis717]

I've just rang the clinic in London, as I'm 11 weeks tomorrow they expect me to go in today, which I can't as dh is working, and even then if the baby is too big I will be charged the full price for the harmony test! So as baby was measuring 3 days ahead last scan altogether it's a complete waste of time to go I think, if I'd found the info 2 weeks ago would have gone but def too late now, will see what NHS scan says, worst comes to worse we will get a second opinion via private xxxx

Shame you missed out, but at least you tried. Just wait for NHS scan and see what happens there.

11 weeks to tomorrow. Your ticker seems to be moving quicker than mine

 

[crazymam]

What a lovely MW Lisa,
Becks- You were obviously not meant to have that scan!
I have just booked a private scan for next Tuesday afternoon at 2pm, I will be a bag of nerves, Maybe if I see a heartbeat this time I will then relax.

 

[garfie]

Afternoon Ladies

Sorry I didn't have time to catch up this morning - been at a SENCO meeting about Wills my son - not a good meeting seems his behaviour is the same at school as home

Lisa - How nice a MW have you got - you lucky thing - on baby number 2 I got to meet the MW just in time for her to say what time is your DNC - great timing

Becks - Not long to wait now - although in Becks years it must seem like ages

Crazy - I would love to see a heartbeat with number 1 it had gone before I could get a scan, number 2 was a blighted ovum (never even heard of that before) and number 3 well that one didn't hang around to long either with the boys I didn't even see it as something special as I was soooooo innocent back then Next Tuesday not long

Jo - My cycle buddy how are you?

Left - What DPO are you now hun

AFM - I got a 16 day cycle - and boy is she kicking my a@@ - seems like the sore boobs have gone which is one good thing - oh well onwards and upwards wonder what the FS will make of this next week



X

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you all, baby was measuring 5 days ahead at my last 9 week scan so it's definitely pointless going, baby's been ahead last two scans, 3 days the second scan, 5 days the third so yep wasn't meant to be, dh doesn't want an amnio and neither do I but I guess it's just wait and see, the weeks,certainly seem to be flying by now! Xxxxxx

Hi all AF showed up today at last , looks like my cycle back to normal 29 days I am a little shocked and sad writing this tonight. I am on another thread with a group of wonderful women also . One of them just posted that she won't be on much as her husband was in a fatal car crash last night . She had mc around the same time as me and AF showed up for her yesterday this cycle . I am so devastated for her . It certainly puts things into perspective , AF showing up isn't so bad I for one will be holding my OH a little closer tonight . Also I didn't really realise what good friendships you can make on line until I joined this group . You are all very special to me and thank you for your friendship and support .
