Hey girls,
Mon hcg was 36000 Wed it was 50000 - that's good right? Still feeling nauseas today - this is not normal for me. Of course DH and I have dissected it every which way, and we think 1. hopefully it was late implantation - does this happen?
2. it's a good/albeit awkward sign that i'm feeling m/s
3. gonna go to GP next week and ask for ANOTHER BT and he has a scanner, so see if we can find any heartbeat next week.
4. the sonographer mentioned it's against the wall - indicating difficult to see clearly - could the fetal pole/heartbeat be hiding??
So I sit nibbling ginger, drinking ginger ale and feeling
green - sounds like you had an awesome time with DH....we like sitting and having brekky/lunch on our patio and today he pottered while I lay on the lounger talking to my furbabies and giving him directions
mitf - I so hope you're right with the late implantation....I didn't know if that would affect the whole timeline ...glad you enjoyed your dessert!! apples, fruit and healthy you know!!
Everyone have a nice night. I'm off for sausage casserole...I started dinner, but had to distance myself from kitchen x
Morning all. Just told my parents and skype broke just at the wrong time so I didn't get to see their reactions gutted. It's tough sometimes being so far away at the best and worst of times.
My mother (who panics about anything and everything and panics when she has nothing to panic about) told me not to panic.. hilarious.
My symptoms are wavering and I know that there is a perfectly sensible explanation for everything (I didn't sleep well because it's too damn hot, my back aches because I was working on my useless desk chair, I don't feel as sick because I had something little early on, my stomach aches but *TMI* I think I'm full of wind after a root veg and bean caserole last night) but I'm still panicking that it's somehow slipping away.... please do feel free to tell me I'm being a silly cow and to stop it.
LM... no dolly will I call you that! You've been as supportive to me as everyone else on the forum, both in the LTTTC/2ww and this one. As you've listed yourself, there are many reasons for all your symptoms having come/abated.
I'm trying to do the 'not panicing' thing too. It works most of the time.
I'm off to go and walk my furbaby before it gets any hotter. You take care, and enjoy the m/s reprieve at the mo.
just popping in! I am at In-laws so cannot say much at all! Had a good read and good to hear everyone's stories as usual! I am being spoilt by my in-laws (makes a change from my own family LOL!) They took me shopping today and bought me a dressing gown, slippers and bits for my hospital bag. I also spent my leaving work present vouchers on maternity tops and a couple of bras. I don't care if they don't fit when my milk comes in...the daggy one I have now goes up to my neck and means I cannot wear half of my wardrobe (I like a plunging neckline!!! LOL!) So I needed some others and these are a little nicer and I will have at least 8 weeks wear out of them. I figure it is not my money so I can indulge!! DH hasn't broached subject of accommodation at time of birth yet with his parents and we are leaving tomorrow so I am getting a bit worried! At least I know they will be more reasonable than my wicked stepmother!
Thank you airline and grub... Right, I've cleaned the house, done a bit of work, sorted out some paper work and tidied up so I think I deserve a BB break....!
How you feeling Grub? Not long to go now... How exciting. It sounds boring, do you have lots of DVDs to watch, or good books? I take it your bag has been packed for months? Anything nice you can add? I'm a completely addict now to audio books from Itunes. I'm currently listening to the Hobbit and it's quite distracting, you can listen whilst lying under a fan (my current favourite position). My sickness dilemmas are nothing compared to being chased by evil goblins!!!
Smithy High Pants Chief Dobber - I'm still having issues with my damn ticker. Why does it not just tick!!!! Can I fix it or do I need to redo it? Hows the bump?
Poppyfairy - I get you totally. I normally have my boobs half out ha ha, they are much nicer than my face . So cos my boobs hurt, I've been wearing a sports bra and it sticks up over the top of most things. It looks minging! oh well. I've got lots of stuff ordered, including a plunge maternity bra, from Marks and Spencer who now deliver to Aus. happy expat : )
Greenslw - I've been fantasisng about blumming sprinkle doughnuts since your post!!!
all - thank you all for the answers to my questions. It is much appreciated.
LM - positive thoughts, postive thoughts, positive thoughts... and enjoy your moment. panic, stress, anxiety - it comes with the territory love and will stay with you throughout, but you can control it's impact on you. Don't let nasty niggling thoughts eat away at you. You are doing everything right and I'm sure it's all fine. YOu can't change the way anything will turn out apart from your positive positive positive mood!
And don't worry, i'm constantly poking my baby to make him move cos after you are stressed about your bubs stickiness in the first few weeks; then about the CF risk; developmental tests; movement; growth etc... you get to the stage where i'm at and you worry about stillbirth and something going wrong in labour etc. It's a never ending cycle. I just try and deal with it by pushing those thoughts aside and focussing on the positive "oh, he's jumping on my bladder again and made me wee a little''
What a bummer about skype!! lol. were they screechers? did they do a little cheer?
bdt - 28 weeks already! wow that went quickly lol. Hey and congrats on DH's new job,what a load off your shoulders. these last few weeks at work will fly by! believe me!
Krikkit - hello love! good to hear from you. how is all in your world? well i hope.
airline - hang in there sweetness oxo
BOC - where is our boc??? hope you are well and keeping out of the heat.
hi greenslw - i'm getting out the paints again today love. showed DH my handiwork over internet video chat last night, he had big smiles for me. hoep you are well love. any decision on the work thing? the MIL thing?
shout out to High Pants, lise, poppy, kellyd, Murph!, seph, saph, Miss Tania (hope bub is behaving ) and Llimiss...
did someone say Lilmiss had her bubba??? any details? did i miss something or am i having a baby brain moment????
AFM - not much to report. watched some more tv, painted some more and dropped a white paintbrush on the good leather lounge! lucky DH wasn't home, but i could hear the lecture from afar lol. my honey will be home in ONE WEEK... ONE WEEK, THAT'S SEVEN DAYS!!!! SEVEN SLEEPS!!!! and then i can have this little baby1!!!!!!!! hooorraaayy.
but unfortunately feeling quite stressed cos of all the weeks for bub to arrive early, this woud be the worst possible. DH has 3 days and one exam left to finish his course and if bub comes between now and next thurs, he'll have to go back next year.. but not jusst for four days, probably for a few weeks to revise all the stuff. So i'm staying very very quiet from now ti thurs. No swims, no walks, no lifting stuff, no nothing - BBBBOORRRIIINNNGGG.
so you should all keep posting here and entertain me! lol. (it's all about me!)
oh dear, fur baby is shoving her nose under my belly! wtf??? maybe there's a crumb from breakfast there. oxoxo
Hello there everyone,
I'm waiting for the courier to bring my new lovely red computer and killing time on DHs computer while he's out trapping, so I've read most posts but of course can't comment on you all.
As I'm writing, Jazz has been waking up and keeping herself amused talking and babbling happily for hours, but me thinks it's now feeding time so this will be shorter than expected.
BabyDreamtime - I have had one moment of sadness about the whole deafness thing but that's only because she is jibbering so much and they do that until they are 6 months but after that, when they don't get that feedback that hearing babies get, they drop off and don't make those sounds anymore. That is really the only thing I find sad because its so lovely hearing her express herself and find her little voice even though she can't hear it.
Now that she is 4 weeks old she is really developing some skills and I"m having so much fun bringing my developmental psychology into play. Her favourite friend is the picture of a face I have drawn for her and put in her basinette, she interacts with it for ages, talking and gazing. She has just started to get more alert after being sleepy and tired so she's more robust and hasn't got that fragile baby thing going on. Yesterday was a day of many firsts, interacting with a cot mobile and reaching out and holding a toy. she is getting control of those funny little flailing limbs and the learning is is full swing. I love it. You can practically see those neurons connecting by the minute, she's so alert and not at all a worry anymore. Play time can be anytime of the day or night and more often lately for about 5 hours at really convenient times like 1am until 6am but it's so cute. she never cries unless pushed to her absolute tether (like for a feed while driving or at the doctor's or something, but at home she just makes funny little noises and is so cute that instead of it stressing you out, you just wake up laughing. Now we sleep through it and can ignore it a bit but at first we didn't know what was going on, she went form sleepy baby to active baby overnight it seems. I know it's hard not to feel sorry when all you hear about is that she is not perfect, but honestly, we are not sad overall and have a tonne of support. Hearing australia takes her on from birth until age 21 and she has already had multiple appointments now, had molds made of her ears and is getting fitted for the world's tiniest hearing aids on the 17th of December in Townsville. We are getting hot pink! Too cute. Yeah it's a bugger but if you have to have a disability, it's a very small obstacle compared to many others hey?
By the way, as her hearing loss is so profound (no response to any stimulus) we don't expect the hearing aids to work so we are learning Auslan and baby sign. we will look at our options for cochlear implant (which can be done as young as 4 months, but all these tings require general anaesthetic and is done in Brisbane so there is a lot to consider. The best thing is, like I said, there is a world of support and everything is covered financially so we feel quite spoilt.
Oh damn, I wanted to answer the questionnaire, but spent forever talking about myself. Meanwhile, I don't need to know sign language to know fist in mouth means "get off the bloody computer and feed me!"
mumma murph - first i'm going to reprimand you! have you ever met a perfect child? I'd say jazzy is perfect for you guys and sounds like you are all doing so well. I can completely hear the love in your voice, what a lucky little girl. and I completely agree with you - of all the disabilities in the world to have and with all the technology now out there, hearing is not as insummountable as it may first appear to be. They are going great guns with the cochlear implants as well!
you make me sooo jealous! i want my little boy here now!! after hearing the way you speak about your gorgeous little one, i just can't wait to have those moments.
I am tentatively joining this forum, as I have had a positive result. I am hoping to be here for the next 9 months or so.
I recognise a few names, but my goodness there is a lot going on here so it may take a while for me to catch up with everyone’s stories. So I apologise that this post is all about me
My story is that I had two embies transferred on the 23rd of October and had negative blood test results. As AF did not show up I had a blood test the following week which was still negative. I was told to wait two weeks. Well after two weeks no AF, but was feeling nausea. So took a test and there was very faint line. As of Tuesday the 24th of Nov my HCG was 1350. So it looks like despite the fact AF never appeared I ovulated naturally and conceived naturally!! Although the nurses and my FS are not confirming or denying what has happened, they want to wait for my scan before they draw any conclusions. They just keep telling me it is unusual.
My first scan is next Thursday. I think I must have had nausea from the first day of implantation and my boobs are killing me.
I have a TMI question for everyone, I have had a tinge blood in CM and when I wipe after going to the loo. I am a bit paranoid that I will end up having another miscarriage. Has anyone else experienced this and been ok? Should I call the nurse and have another blood test?

gutted. It's tough sometimes being so far away at the best and worst of times.
