30 degrees! Send it over here please

Would if I could!

Hi ladies.

I've been reading the info they sent re screening, what are your thoughts on the tests offered here in the uk?

With regards to the nuchal test/measurement, many people seem to think it is just to check for Downs so refuse to have it however I was told that a larger than average measurement can also indicate other chromosomal abnormalities, some of which would make the baby incompatible with life and can also indicate cardiac problems. I choose to have it as although I wouldn´t have had a problem with my child having Downs, I would want any other abnormalities detected which could affect my prenatal care, require more control, check ups, etc.

I don´t know too much about what other forms of screening are offered.

Sonia, first time round I refused any testing (triple test) Come 36 weeks I suddenly worried myself sick that something may be wrong.

This time round we opted for the nuchal test (wasn't offered at our hospital when we had Kai). And I got a low risk result which of course doesn't mean the baby won't have problems but it's of course more likely that she doesn't. It has made me feel better having those results this time time round. But really, if you wouldn't have the amino following a high risk result then I guess maybe not have them?

Is a very personal choice with no right or wrong answer x

Thanks ladies, I guess I didn't realise they could pre screen for so many things, which I don't think is a bad thing. DH opinion is if they are offered then we should have them, to be best informed etc, I tend to agree.

I don't think it would change our thoughts at all x

 

[Elz]

Elz when are you testing again? X

Well I'm on CD17 today, with no idea if I've ovulated yet or not!! I did have slight cramps on CD14 which lasted for about 30 mins (I think!) so it coud have been then! AF is due on the 25th, 4 days after DH's birthday, so I'm undecided whether to test on his birthday to (hopefully) give him the best birthday present ever, or to just wait until I'm a day late....if I even get that far! lol What about you? X

 

[Jembug]

Well I got a positive on my ovulation stick, yesterday, cycle day 20/35 dont know all the abbreviations!
So my Af is due the 27th!
We dtd twice Friday night and yesterday but his out today and its back to work tomoz!
Have no idea if we have caught this egg?
Looks like me, you and almost are testing around the same time. Hopefully I can not test until 25th?

[almosthere]

im testing around the 27th/28th!

and i think i may have STREP for the first time in my life...noticed it this afternoon-orange clumps in back of throat...but only slightly scratchy throat...low grade temp..odd...no sex last night, and not tonight YET lol, but then tonight when i wiped after peeing-very light orange tinged spotting..so think i may have already OVd!! so def. bdncing tonight or is it pointless after O spotting?? hmm..and JEMBUG sound like you have a great chance with the way you timed pregnancy, try for one more time tomorrow so be safe if you want!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Good luck ladies.

The sickness has kicked in for me

 

[PreshFest]

Lucky Sonia!! I get it lightly here and there but nothing substantial. And of course it has me worried. I just have a bad feeling

 

[almosthere]

i am praying for you and your little bean presh!!

sonia, sorry you are feeling much sickness...

afm dtd last night, today is cd16 and no idea if I Od or not...thinking maybe because of the random light spotting yesterday evening without even dtd...but then again no ewcm yet, although not checking my cm this cycle....just going to keep on dtd every other day if not more! =)

 

[mazndave]

Lucky Sonia!! I get it lightly here and there but nothing substantial. And of course it has me worried. I just have a bad feeling

Please try not to worry Presh, I had practically no sickness whatsover, just the slightest hint of feeling sick every once in a while.

This IS your sticky bean!

Sorry to hear you haven't managed to escape it Sonia, hope it doesn't get too bad for you.

Good luck Jembug, Almost and Elz, not be long now til testing time. Hope you've all caught that egg!

xx

 

[Elz]

Sorry to hear you're feeling sick Sonia

I'm feeling bleugh today! I think I'm starting to get a chest infection I'm glad I'm ill now after my fertile period though and not during! I don't think I have much of a chance this cycle as we didn't BD as much as we'd hoped. So I'm now rooting for an anniversary baby!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly Elz.

My new found savour for the ms is ginger nut biscuits!
Day two and after 13 episodes we seem to be ok. Don't think I'll tempt much for dinner mind you. Got booking in appointment with hospital for 17/05 and them scan 25/05 and then 12 week scan 26/6 x

 

[Jembug]

Presh fingers and toes crossed for you, did I read you have a scan coming up?

Elz, keep positive and hope you feel better.

Almost and Elz what date are you testing? Maybe we can test the same day as our AF are due within a couple of days?

Glad we dtd when I we did coz I worked all night on Saturday and I'm DH had golf all day so I didn't sleep.... Went to bed at 9:30 to then be woken by my nearly 3 year old being sick.... She didn't stop until 5:30 and I had to up for work then! So I've not actually slept since Saturday morning! So no sex tonight, I'm off to bed! X
