TTCAL waiting (not so patiently) for our rainbows

[Tasha]

I know, it's going so fast! Not long until six weeks for you

I'm really tired today, I was last week on Monday and the one before so wonder if it's growth spurt day

Nervous about my scan this week too x

 

[Tasha]

How are you feeling about it all?

 

[Camichelle]

Great #'s Sil.

Before you ladies know it you'll be in 2nd trimester!

I didn't go for beta. Feeling a bit crampy so hoping body just gets it over with so I can move on. I think I'm done trying. At least for a while. I can't keep going through this.

 

[Tasha]

Sometimes a break is exactly what is needed

Big hugs Cami. I almost didn't go for my betas a couple of weeks ago to check everything was back to normal but I did, felt rotten as I had to wait in the same room as other ladies who were having mc too so it felt very sad

Nice betas Sil, the only way is most definitely up

AFM CD30 and I think 12DPO today. Did an ic this morning after holding my wee for 6 hours, record for me and of course it was BFN. Never had much luck with ic's but I don't want to throw them so will do another one at the end of the week if AF hasn't shown. I've got PmT overdrive but I did at this stage last pregnancy so could be in with a chance yet.

Keeping everything crossed for tomorrow Dan-o

Fingers crossed beck x

How are you feeling about it all?

Skeptical would probably cover it. Lol!

I bet it all goes lovely at your scan on friday, not long now. Do you use dopplers? You're not far off that stage now!

Big hugs cami

Beck, mega grumpy irritable-ness always a good sign for me!! fx!

 

[Tasha]

Weirdly, I did for the first time tonight. Don't want to upset anyone, so pop to my journal.

 

[Tasha]

Skeptical is normal I think, one minute I am thinking it's all over, then I think that's self perseveration. It's scary isn't it?

 

[babytots]

Hey ladies! How is everyone?

Sil that's great news about your betas.

Dan-o hope you scan goes well tomorrow.

Camichelle sending you more hugs. You are constantly in my thoughts I wish you weren't having to go through this again

Tasha how are you doing how is the tiredness now? Hope your scan goes well too.

Becks sorry you got a bfn hope you get a bfp soon.

Yazzy and Mommy hope your both ok.

Afm finally gettin over my cold and morning sickness has really hit as has the tiredness. Had an appointment with the doctor today and had some blood taken to check my levels annoyingly she didn't add a note to the nurse to have them repeated so I can't get them repeated til these results come through! She wouldn't refer me to the consultant either so now have to wait til I see a midwife. Really wanted to get referred asap ao can discuss the antibodies I have and sort my care plan out.

5 weeks today so just a week to go and I can self refer to the epu. Really nervous about going for a scan I keep thinking should I put I off til after 7 weeks as I can't bear the pain of seeing a baby with a heartbeat just to lose it again but then it would be even worse getting further along to find baby's heart has stopped. Hate that I think the worst will happen but I no longer know how to feel excited or positive in these early weeks. It's such an up and down feeling x

 

[dan-o]

Back from scan, all good and heart beating. Back every 2 weeks now while things progress.

All my recurrent miscarriage tests came back normal, and our karyotyping was normal. I've just got rubbish eggs it seems! Not much I can do about that!

 

[dan-o]

Babytots do they offer to scan fortnightly at your EPU? I find if I can be bothered to go early (I don't always) I can ask get 3 or 4 done via them, which is reassuring when it goes ok. Are you on cyclogest this time?

 

[Tasha]

Fab news dano, first milestone x

 

[babytots]

Fab news on the scan hun and that all your test results came back ok. Hoping this one is your sticky one. Are you measuring to your dates? Did you get a pic?

They said when I had my miscarriage I could be scanned a few times in the epu but made no note of it so wether they will take my word for it when I go is another question. Hopefully I will see the same nurse that I did during my miscarriage she might remember my face. No not on cyclogest but I made sure when I had my bloods taken yesterday they tested my progesterone levels. Hopefully should get results of those tomorrow.

 

[dan-o]

Ohh fingers crossed for those, or if they are a bit low you can get on the pessaries ASAP! One of my EPU nurses prescribes from heartbeat, the other from BFP. They are expensive tho (about £1 each) so some doctors can be tight with them! I actually took from ov this time as an experiment. Naughty me.

You should be getting regular scans anyway, with your history, surely?

As for me baby measured 3mm which is about right. I have had losses which have measured right, but most do not, so in my eyes, my odds have gone up.
Its a no pic policy at our EPU, but I may get one elsewhere at some point they do have a big screen in front now tho, so at least I got to see the whole scan.

 

[Camichelle]

That's wonderful news dan-o!

 

[dan-o]

Thanks cami, how are you today?

 

[Camichelle]

Feeling miserable and in a lot of pain but I think physically the worst of it is over. It was a long night

I am feeling better about my decision to see a specialist. I'm also glad 2014 is almost at an end. With car accident and losses it has not been my year! Looking to 2015 and I'm determined to conceive my sticky rainbow next year!
