StarBright, I think that one more will be the end of baby making for me and DH too. If we can make one more. It is a difficult decision to make. I had a c-section with Grayson and I was already thinking about getting my tubes tied. I would love to have 3 or 4 but I just don't think it a good idea for us. I guess it all depends on how easy my next pregnancy is.
dory, I think that you honored your little girl in a prefect way. You and DH spent the day together taking a little time to remember.
I also understand how you feel about not being able to do more than snuggle. DH and I went 8 months without. I was so scared because I had bleeding everytime. My doctor kept telling me that it was perfectly fine but I still couldn't.
Jude, I am glad that they moved your scan up. Less time to worry and wait. I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Klee, I am glad that your boys helped you through a tough day. As for the name, you have time. You will know the right name when you hear it. I gave up looking through books. That never really worked for me. I really feel like TTC is a lot of work this time around. It is hard when Grayson doesn't want to sleep through the night or gets up extra early. All I want to do at night is sleep. We were just going to let it happen but after a few months of nothing I decided that we needed to put in some effort. Three more days and then the wait.
Hi
We have progressed from last week. Both sacs have grown to the 6wk mark and both now have the decidual ring thing around them. One has a yolk and a fetal pole with heartbeat. But being as I was 6w3d it is a bit behind measuring between 5w4d and 6w exact. The other sac she said was empty yet she refused to do trans vaginal to check. I have the CD of pics here from Ethans scan at 6wk exact that showed an empty sac trans abdominal yet when he switched to trans vaginal we had a sac, yolk and a heartbeat of 92. Ok so Ethan left us a week later which is what is in my mind this time round.
I am just worried that with slow betas and measurements behind dates.. it won't last.
So we know for sure that at the moment we have one baby on board.
The sonographer suggested that we either had 2 eggs that fertilsied a few days behind and so B is not visual yet and may be in a week or two or that B started off then failed... so if that is the case why has the sac developed so much from last week when it had no ring around it?
She also kept saying that if she could see a baby in A then she should be able to see the same in B ... but if it is a few days behind then she wouldn't... this is doing my head in.
We have a few family problems at the moment too with my sons pg g/f who both live with us. She is due in 10 days. I see my GP this afternoon coz I am struggling to cope again so I am going to ask if I can go back on the zoloft. I have a stress migraine which is not responding to panadol or panadeine but I don't want to take anything stronger.
Daniel can now climb out of his walker lol. It is bedtime - morning nap time.
hugs to all
Jude
Jude, I always though that if there are two different eggs then you ovulate twice possibly even a couple of days apart. Why didn't they do the trans.vag. ultrasound? That really is the only good way to get a look in there right now and to get good measurements. I know how difficult the not knowing can be. Did you make another ultrasound appt. to recheck?
Just to remind you, Grayson measured 5 days behind at our first ultrasound. I thought for sure that we were going to lose him. I had no MS and then small for dates. At my 8 week appt. he was right on.
Sorry to hear about the family issues. I hope everything turns out okay. Try to take it easy. You shouldn't be letting yourself get so stressed right now.
Jude, sending you a hug as it sounds like you have way too much to cope with at the moment. I hope you get some good news soon. I have only had vag scans at that early stage as they can never pick up anything abdominally until I am around 12 or so weeks (I have an inverted uterus). Can you ask for another scan just to put your mind at ease?
Dory, it sounds like you remembered your baby girl in the perfect way. There is never an easy way to work out what to do on those days, but I think it helps to just go with what feels right. It sounds like you and your DH expressed the love you have for your daughter in a beautiful way.
Klee, I am also glad your boys helped you through a tough day. It is always a bit easier when you can hug your kids to make things seem a bit better. How did your day go yesterday?
Laney, so the 2 week wait starts in 3 days. I hope it passes quickly. The waiting is always so hard. I think it is totally understandable that you find TTC difficult. It is so hard to find time for TTC when sleep seems so appealing. Poor DH was hoping for plenty of practise and I think we fell pregnant the first cycle. In fact my cycle was obviously all over the place as it turns out I conceived 3 weeks earlier than I had thought. I even had a period after I fell pregnant (which is why I got my dates wrong). I am glad I didn't think I was pregnant as I would have assumed I was having an ms.
All is well here. The baby is a kicker and is head down (was head down from 26 weeks just like Anna). I had a dream last night that my breasts started leaking milk, thankfully that has not happened yet. Have I told you all that we are having a boy? It is a secret to the general public but you all have the right to know. We are very excited by this news. I had secretly always worried that maybe I would not get to have another boy after Nathaniel, so this has really been a great joy to us.
Hi to everyone, and I hope you are all having peaceful and stress free days.
Judy... a friend of mine had twins that were a week apart in age!! She ovulated twice- and being a "normal" pregnant person didnt have a scan until the 12 weeks mark- and one twin measured a week behind the other- and stayed that way right till the end! I dont know any comforting numbers stories to tell you- but i think your sonographer is a jerk- with your history she should have done all she could do establish what was going on with egg b... it is not too difficult to do a trans vaginal.
I hope that both your little bubbas are sticky xoxo
Laney... LOL i think we were same ttc- with a lil boy who loved to be in our bed and dh working alot and me just generally being tired- we definately didnt bed as much as he would have hoped!! But i must say - it must be something about being pregnant with a girl- coz i am alot more randy this time than i was when pregnant with Shane- and from memory i was the same with Zahra!! And our lil boy has learned to sleep all night in his bed!!
Katie.... Congrats on a little boy- we are keeping the gender quiet in public too (well facebook basically) but only because some of our family want a surprise- if anyone wants to know they just have to ask and we will tell. That is crazy that you got an AF after you were actually pregnant!! Your right if you had known you would have freaked out for sure!!!
Klee.... I saw you in some lovely photos!!! Your bump is looking very impressive!! (not as big as mine though!! ) I hope you had a great day with your friend and that she has many many many more happy days to come!!!
Oh and do you mean to say that you will be passing on some clothes that are "pink"? Like ones you had for Phoebe??? Or do you plan on going out and buying me lots??!! If they are your angels clothes i would be sooo humbled and honored to accept them, and please dont feel you have to xoxoxo
jlk.... Sorry i disapeared the other day while we were chatting!! I got stuck being a bed for Shane!! I hope all is going ok with you- rest up and take care!!
AFM... All is going well here- feeling movements a bit more which is nice- she seems to move more at night once i stop and sit down and relax. So far i am feeling really good- excep tthe muscles in the top of my legs (like the VERY TOP- but not exactly UP THERE IYKWIM) feel really tender. Its a bit hard to explain- but i guess you could say they are sore.. it has felt like this for awhile- at first i thought it was from DTD.. lol so i didnt do it again for awhile, but it still feels tender. I am not too worried coz its def not in the tummy- or even as high up to make me feel its cervix or contraction related.. its just kinda weird. i will mention it to the Dr next time i see him- its just that i dont remember feeling it with any of my other pregnancies. Mind you - i wasnt getting up and down off the floor as often in any of my pregnancies, so it could have something to do with it too!!!
Hi everyone
