[Mari30me]

So we saw baby and heartbeat today! Hb was really low ...about 118..? the dr gave me the very blunt reminder that I'm not out of the water and I can still have a miscarriage , isn't she sweet? Me and ready should be due around the same time ! September 11 is my due date

Mrs- I felt the same Way with my babies too, ready hit it head on, I think once you name him/her you feel even more connected. I can't think of any girl names but have a ton of boy names that I love. How did you find Bristols name?

Pers- Seems like they don't ever see anything at 5 weeks, my dr told me today she was surprised to hear the heartbeat because they usually don't until 7-8 weeks. I'm six weeks but at 5 weeks they didn't see anything not even the sac

Ren- Is your appointment tomorrow?

Welcome petal and Mari!

Petal- I would wait until after AF is due , your not out yet keep testing. Any symptoms ?

Mari- Those were my symptoms exactly, sooo hungry , veins in the boobs, not so much moody but tired! Now the hunger is gone but I'm still tired and nauseous . Fx for you!

I am having such similar symptoms to my previous pregnancies, but it has been 3 years since my youngest was born. I forget a lot! lol

 

[Mommy_DK]

Mari-welcome!! I hope these are all good signs for you!

As for us gals, we have been together for a long while so there are a few of us in here that are actually expecting and some that have already given birth to their baby. Here is a quick run down I think.

Ren is currently waiting to O and hoping it comes from her left side.
Ready is expecting and around 6-8 weeks I believe.
Mommy is expecting and also around the same, waiting for a scan to see baby.
Perse is expecting and is about 5 weeks, saw the sac yesterday. Yay
Bab just had a miscarriage at 5 weeks and hoping to continue the ttc journey
Petal is in the tww and I think 4 more days before af is due.
and I am expecting my first and am 15 weeks and just found out we are having a girl.

I know I started to forget too ! When can you test ? !

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Mommy-if you are only 6 wks the hb is exactly where it should be. It doesn't pick up until closer to 7 wks and even then every baby is not textbook. Ur dr sounds like an idiot. I would say things are looking awesome so far. Im due at the end of Aug so we are pretty close, just under 2 wks apart. How r u feeling after the scan?

 

[Mommy_DK]

Thanks ready! Yea I hear anyways that most boys are in the lower teens so Ill run with that! Lol I feel much better knowing that it's not an ectopic and I'm not in any danger, how do you feel ? Have you told the kids or anyone else?

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I haven't told ds yet. I haven't had a scan that has made me feel really confident and I don't see my mw for 3 wks. I pulled out my doppler but its still too early for anything yet. I didn't get it until i wad 10 wks with dd and had no problem finding her hb. I want to tell him but I'm still so nervous.

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Hey girls!!
Mommy-I think that heartbeat is just fine, like ready said, it is still early.
Ready-I hope this 3 weeks goes by really quickly!! In 3 1/2 weeks I get to see Bristol again so I really hope for both of us that this 3 weeks goes VERY quickly.
Ren-how was your scan?
Perse-how are you doing? Any ms yet?

 

[Renaendel]

Mrs. I am at the office now in the waiting room. I will do a full update for you all when I am not on my phone.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Come on leftie!!!!!

 

[Renaendel]

Mrs. Again so happy for you, and your little one. I can't wait to see more bump pictures and of course as many scan photos as you are willing to share. It is wonderful that the second trimester is treating you better than the first. Time to really enjoy everything about pregnancy.

Ready. What day in August is your expected EDD? I bet in just a few weeks that heart beat is going to come through loud and clear on your doppler. Then DS can hear it for himself.

Mommy. Hooray for being safe. I wish I knew more about the heart beat side, but I think Ready said everything that needed to be said. Hoping and praying that your baby will continue to be healthy and strong.

Persephone. Your appt is today, hooray!!! let us know how it goes.

Babbs. I do hope that the bleeding is finishing up. We will get back there one day soon I promise.

Mari. Welcome to our group! Good luck this month, your symptoms do sound great. The breast ones sound the very best. Crossing my fingers for you.

Petal, welcome to you too. Are you going to test again in a few days or just wait for your period?


AFM:
No go guys. The follicles look so amazing. High chance of twins if they were just on my left side. Two huge 18mm follicles side by side on the right. They are so close it would super easy if I had a tube on that side for it to pick up both. My lining was 7mm and triple layer, ideal for implantation.

It is amazing how everything can be so perfect but I just feel broken this morning.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Ah Ren I'm so sorry! What a frustrating process. Its crappy enough that everything has to be just perfect to make a baby but when ur odds are further cut in half due to one tibe it just doesn't seem fair. Is ivf an option for u or too expensive?

 

[Renaendel]

We could technically afford it. We just need to make the decision if we would put the money into IVF or adoption. But first I think is injectibles and IUI.. Menopur or Folitism plus HCG trigger. Ill post the details from the meeting with the Doc on the 5th. Glad it is already scheduled. With those drugs we SHOULD be able to get at least one egg on the left.

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Ugh Damn it!!! I was so hoping it was it!! I am so sorry Ren, I can't imagine what you are going through right now! I am so sorry girly!! I know your time will come and you will get your perfect little baby. Ugh I am almost in tears for you. I am so sorry and so wish I could do something to make it easier and better for you!!

 

[persephone13]

Ren I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine your frustration but know I am thinking of you and sending you all the positive energy I can.

AFM - meeting with the doctor went well, she's not an OB she's actually just a family doctor who delivers babies. I'm going to keep seeing her in case I can't get a midwife. I am still waiting to hear from them. Tonight I started having some pretty intense cramping on my left side, feels like maybe its ovarian cramps? Very strange and it hurt to walk.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Hey ladies! How is everyone?
Ren-will u start with injectables this month? I'm a girl that likes a plan and u kind of sound the same. With each month ttc I always had a course of action.
Perse-have the cramps stopped? Do u have another scan booked?
Bab-how r u doing? R u feeling better?
Mrs-feeling anything yet?
Mommy-how r things?
Afm-nausea is all over but seems to be manageable if I keep food in my body. If I go too long than I don't want to eat cuz i feel sick and i feel sick cuz im not eating. Yesterday was a bad day.
I'm debating calling my GP to see if they will book a scan for me so I can see if there is progression. I still feel in limbo and can't relax. I don't see the mw for 2 wks still. Maybe I should just wait until then, book my nt scan and hope for the best???

 

[BABTTC123]

Ren- I'm so sorry to hear that I was really hoping to see some good news for you... Just in my personal opinion, I would try IVF before adoption since you've been pregnant before just the circumstances at that time weren't ideal for the little beans to grow. With IVF they should be able to trigger your body to produce the perfect conditions for a sticky bean and who knows, maybe you will end up with multiple ones! :3
If for some reason that doesn't work, you can always foster for a while and possibly adopt that way as it is cheaper than seaking a pregnant women looking to adopt out her baby as soon as it is born. Though I do understand why that would be more ideal.
I have been through all of this is my head and I really want to wait to adopt until I am 30 if things don't work out...
Ultimately it is your decision though

mommy- Super glad you got to hear that heart beat! I hope it is a little boy!!
Btw, your doctor sounds like an ass! That is EXTREMELY rude of them to worry you like that!

Mari & Petal- Hello to both of you! (If I haven't said so already) and GL on your tww!!

perse- Did you tell your doctor about the cramps just to be safe?

ready- If uou are having pretty good ms then i would think that is a good indicator that your little bun is growing!

afm- bleeding stopped completely on Tuesday. I had some cramping (which i didn't really have any prior) after the bleeding stopped but I think that may have been my cervix closing. I had some ovary cramping as well that felt like ovulation pain. I read that some women can ovulate IMMEDIATELY following a mc, some 2 weeks after a mc and for others it can take a few months. I am hoping I am one of the early ovulators lol I doubt my body needs much time to recover from this. I have dealt with far worst stuff (pain wise) than this before. Cysts are by far the worst!

For the past two nights hubby had been VERY in the mood! The night before he insisted on a shower together which lead to some rather fun events...
Last night he fell asleep while I was rubbing his shoulders. I scooted in to give him a kiss on his forehead and he initiated a sleep bd xD
I thought he was awake but at the end he was all "How did that even get started?? I just woke up right in the middle of it!" I cracked up and am still laughing randomely about it!! I never knew that was possible for guys!!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab-if anything I am glad things are still "lively" with dh. I so hope ov is what is/was happening.

 

[Renaendel]

Well, I finally ovulated, but I don't know when. I have never had two separate +OPKs and two temp rises. So I am either 1dpo, 4dpo or both if both eggs released at separate times.

Babbs, yay for bleeding stopping and a return to normalcy! I laughed out loud and the sleepy sex.

Ready, sorry you are in limbo. I am not sure how your healthcare system works, but maybe you could get a scan two weeks after your last one. Thinking of you.

Persephone, that does sound intense. Crossing my fingers it is just your corpus luteum cyst growing again. Are you going back into the doc soon?

Mrs, thanks for the support. I am really really looking forward to my meeting on the fifth to discuss the next step.

Mari, mommy, how are you two?

 

[MoldyVoldy]

I'm back after a small hiatus I doubt anyone remembers me, it was a bit ago.

good to be back

 

[Renaendel]

How could I forget you and that amazing avatar!
