[Renzalxx]

THANK YOU ladies for such kind words!!!!! You are the BEST!!! You girls have been my support through all of this.

I wish you all the best and pray that all of you get your forever baby and never have to go through any problems! We have been through enough!

CHIG!!!! OHMYGOSH....OHMYGOSH....OHMYGOSH!!! YAAAAAAYYYYYY! Soooooo happy for you hunny, you must be thrilled..

Sooo looking forward to being bump buddies chicky, heres hoping all our beans are our forever babies xxxx

Ps: when do you go for bloods/scan?

 

[chig]

Thank you Renzal(bump buddy)!!!!

I called my doctor's office yesterday and told me to come in for blood work next week since it is still really early. I will be going on Wednesday, then Friday and then again on Monday. If all goes well, they may do an initial scan on Monday if my levels are high enough just to make sure that my bean is in the right place and growing normally. I am so nervous that something will go wrong......My DH does not want me to be too excited as we still need to confirm that everything is in the clear for now.

TMI alert: I have been checking my underwear every time I feel something down there. I just keep thinking that I will see blood, but ends up being the creamy CM. I also keep checking for blood when I wipe too. I am so paranoid. I still don't have too many symptoms other than the sore boobs and am starting to feel a bit more tired/sleepy.

Chig... Checking for blood never really goes away! I'm almost 19 weeks and that is just now starting to calm down. But I checked every time (sometimes I would go to the bathroom just to check!) up until about 18 weeks. After you've had a loss, you're scared the entire time. I'm finally at the point where my excitement definitely outweighs the fear, but it's still lingering there! Congrats again!!!!!!!!! So so happy for yooooou!!

Omg Chig!!!!! Congrats, such exciting news Here's to a very happy and very healthy 9 months!!

 

[Renzalxx]

I know exactly how you feel Chig....

I went for dinner with some friends on Saturday night and went to the toilet only to be greeted with a whole lot of brown discharge.... Safe to say I TOTALLY FREAKED out and dinner was definately short lived. The spotting lasted until Sunday lunch time, was really light and it has completely stopped now but I am really scared something is wrong. My ob says it is really common and just the cervix clearing out old blood before the placenta takes over but I wont be comfortable until my next scan on the 28th.
Mind you, I woke up with terrible morning sickness and mega sore boobies this morning so i definately feel like my lil banana is safe and well.... will have to see.. Anyone else experienced this around 9 weeks?

Oh Renzal I'm sorry you've had a little discharge. I can't help to explain it but the fact that it's stopped is a really good sign

Just take it easy over the next couple of weeks.

ladies did anyone have a random bout of brown discharge whilst waiting for your first AF after MTX to arrive? xxx

 

[chig]

Renzal - I am sure that was scary to see any kind of discharge that is not white. I am so glad that it stopped though. I know I would start to panic especially since that is how my ectopic started.

Cath- I had random brown spotting on and off until my first AF. I think it is normal.

Afm, I still don't have too many symptoms other than sore boobs. I wish I had more symptoms to reassure me that everything is okay. I am also getting impatient to get my hcg checked.

 

[cathgibbs]

yeh i had spotting for 6 weeks and it stopped but i only had it o Saturday for literally 5 minutes and stopped?! Af should be here by sunday so hopefully that will swoosh everything out xxx

At 12dpo, I got my !!!!!!!

I pray that this is my forever baby. I am so excited right now, but I know that there is still a long road ahead and I am still very scared of something going wrong. I won't be able to relax until my 18week scan is normal.

To sum things up:
- 1 shot of MTX for suspected ectopic @ end of Jan -> took about 5 weeks to reach 0.
- started taking my prenatals and waited 5 cycles/4 months before ttc again
- waited until July to start trying -- no luck in July
- got my bfp in August!

OMG OMG OMG!!! congrats hun!

 

[chig]

Thank you JPARR!!!!!! I am very excited to get my BFP on my 2nd cycle of trying. Now I just pray that it isn't another ectopic or miscarriage or any other problems! I just want this to be my healthy beautiful baby!

How are you doing these days?

 

[JPARR01]

Thank you JPARR!!!!!! I am very excited to get my BFP on my 2nd cycle of trying. Now I just pray that it isn't another ectopic or miscarriage or any other problems! I just want this to be my healthy beautiful baby!

How are you doing these days?

Think positive hun! When do you go for a blood test? This is def. your rainbow baby!
I am doing well and so is Addison. Time is really flying by! she is 4 and half months old. eek! Growing up so fast! xoxo

 

[chig]

Addison is looking so cute!!! I can't believe she is 4 months already!! Time does fly.

I will be having my hcg tested on Wednesday then Friday then again on Monday with a scan. I hope that my numbers grow normally and my scan next Monday shows my bean in the right place! My BFF is also pregnant. She is one week ahead of me. I am hoping to go through this together with her!

 

[BayBeeEm]

JPARR, you baby is adorable and she is so well fed. I pray to have chubby one's too one day. Chig, I am still glowing with you! I hope to be following cloesly in your foot steps. Cycle 2 of trying post MTX (and 3 month 2 cycles wait)!

Hi all :wave:

Sorry about the spotting Renzal, I'm still checking like mad too. I had some spotting first at 5 weeks which lasted just over a week, it stopped and I thought that was it. Then at 7 weeks it came back and lasted all the way through to just over 9 weeks. I haven't had any since and everything has looked ok on the scans, but it is still so worrying. I'm sure everything is fine

 

[Gwenylovey]

Renzal, a little bit of brown spotting is normal and you already know that your bean is in the right place, so no worries of ectopic. Sure all is fine!!

Cath, I also had some days of brown discharge/spotting leading up to af after mtx. I had not had it prior to the shot. I just think it is our bodies getting back in their groove after all they have been through.

JPARR, Addison is absolutely adorable! hope motherhood is treating you well!

 

[PreshFest]

It's another girl for me! Eeeeeeeeek! So excited!

 

[Renzalxx]

Yay Presh... another little miss to bring sunshine to the world. Congratulations - so wrapped for you.

And JParr, your little one is just ADORABLE... soooo very cute! And I love the name Addison.. very unique and stylish.

And a HUGE THANK YOU ladies for putting my mind at ease... Dont know what I would do without this thread!! So stressful trying to bring a lil one into the world - but nice to be able to come here with any questions .. No spotting since so hoping it was just a little clear out. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

 

[Laubull]

Congrats on your little girl Presh

 

[baby_maybe]

Congrats on another little pink bundle Presh

Renzal - that's what we're all here for hunni. Fx it was a one off for you and you won't see any more. I'm almost at 2 weeks since mine stopped now and I'm so relieved, although still religiously checking! lol
