CONGRATULATIONS Famgirl !!!!!! you finally got there - So happy for you and just in time for xmas. Well done ! Glad I just thought I would have a look today - that is excellent !
:
hey
sorry for another self absorbed post, just thought i would let you know how the scan went yesterday.
it showed an empty sac that measured 5 weeks:crying: i am completely confused and upset and dont know what is going on:wall:
i had a bt today and need another one on monday, if levels are still rising then we have another scan wednesday, fs thinks it might be eptopic?? fs was really rude and horrible:cry: he even had a smile on his face at one stage and then i asked him about my crinone gel as i only have enough till tonight and he says to me " well what do you want to do" WTF!!!!! i am not the doctor and i dont understand what has just happend. so he told me dont worry about the gel, use what i have and a day not being on wont make a difference apparently!!!
so here i am in limbo not knowing if my baby has already left me, or if its eptopic or if it was simply to early.
i have googled 5 weeks ultrasound and apparently its really common not to see anything in the sac yet, but then i dont want to read into it just incase i am lining myself up for a massive heartbreak. so as soon as i know something i will let you know
thanks for all your help over the last 2 weeks, your people are amazing
it is very common to not see more than a sac at five weeks m2c. very common. you have to take into account that baby is literally only a ball of cells at that stage, less then a mm long. it's hard to stay positive, but you need to stay focussed for now
as to ectopic - if the sac was a uterine sac, he's talking out his ass and scaring you for no reason!
good luck with follow up bt
M2C :hug: sweetie you may not know for awhile yet sweet we are here for you either way sweet
M2C...oh hun. I agree totally with BG. It is very common not to see anything and you FS is a huge twat for making you feel that way. Stay hopeful hun and I am praying that everything will be ok for you.
Love HM xx00
Hi girls,
Sorry to have been MIA. A lot have been happening and I don't know whether I would be able to catch up with what is happening with everyone.
BW- bet you are glad with the last day of work... not long to go.
Hi everyone and welcome FG.
M2C so sorry but the hell was the FS thinking scaring you like that! 5 weeks is too early. Are your levels increasing??? Isn't ectopic suppose to be in the tube?? or is he referring to near the cervix????
HM - you're such a cool woman. Always seem to know what to say. Seems like you are doing great. Are you going to have your scan at 12 weeks or wait till 19???
Well AFM, still very tired most days (but getting better I think). Loss a few kgs which freaked the GP out so she got me to do another scan at 10 weeks. Saw the bub and he/she is doing fine. Then I freaked out yesterday with spotting (which has stopped today). The drama hey???! Not sure if I should see GP or just wait for the 12 week scan.
Hello all,
M2C - there is no reason for your FS to treat you like that and to make these few days hell for you! I agree with what you have already been told - it is too early to see a heartbeat at 5 wks - our first scan is not until 6weeks for exactly that reason. Wishing you al the best for your BT and really hope you get the satisfaction of wiping the smile off your FS's face when he is wrong and you have a perfectly fine pg!!! Good luck.
Chez - congrats on your pg and its great that we are due on the same day...pg buddies! I too share your concerns about not yet feeling anything - it somehow does not seem real without the symptoms! Hope that your remaining 8 months flys by.
Kahlan - glad that all is going well and that your spotting has stopped. Not sure about the spotting - I think if it was me I would go to (or at least ring) the GP, just to be on the safe side - but then i'm someone who stresses out about those things. Do what you think you need to, but dont be afraid to ask questions if you are not sure.
Devon - good on you for what you have achieved with your diet - it must be a huge relief, and must be a good start to being at home and getting ready for the baby! Hope that everything continues in the right direction for you.
Janie - 100 days - what a milestone!
Bel - I hope that things are going well with you and your beautiful twins.
Dusty, BW and GB - thanks so much for your support over the past 12 months - it has really helped to get me to this point, and I wish you all the best for your pg and upcoming births!!
To everyone that I've missed - hello - and hope everyone one is well and happy in the lead up to xmas!
AFM - Thanks to everyone for your words of congrats. Our second bt came back good with levels increasing, so now we just wait for the scan...it is going to be a very long week I think! Still no real pg symptoms but as advised, I'm counting myself lucky on that front - at least for a little while anyway.
Hope everyone enjoys what is left of the weekend.
FG
FG - embrace the symptomless time hun - it's so nasty when MS hits (but the reassurance is fantastic sometimes!). hopefully soon you'll get some nice tell tale signs, but nothing too overwhelming - sometimes i wish i'd been hit with that "once a day" upchuck thing - had to be better than 10 weeks of 24/7 nausea!
kahlan - hoping the spotting is nothing major. if you've done anything in regards to DTD lately, it may be related - there is a huge increase in blood flow to your cervix and the sensitivity there can make spotting happen. if it keeps happening, go to the GP or contact your doc - no point stressing for a couple of weeks if you can get some reaassurance
AFM - 16 weeks today - and feeling blah! i finally had a couple of relatively ms free days last week - but came back on friday (i think, maybe thursday) and been feeling yuk ever since. it's not bad enough to take me out of the game completely (yesterday i was cross stitching a project for gremlin, today i'm writing xmas cards) - but it's keeping me at home most of the time cos going anywhere in the car is just icky. oh well, at least it's a sign that all is going well. as is the constant movement when i go to bed at night - anywhere up to an hour of wiggles each night - not sure if it's all the movement we're getting, but it's the time i'm most aware of it - and it's really weird feeling!
have been having some horrific and vivid dreams this week - haven't had a night since early in the week that i havent woken up either in tears or on the brink of tears - nothing about the baby, but always stuff that freaks me out - and is so clear. thankfully i have a DH who, even though he works away, is on call 24/7 to talk to me - so me ringing him at 4am like this morning doesn't bother him. we were both half asleep and can't remember what i was talking about (i can remember snippets of the dream, but can't recall the convo properly) - but simply having him talk to me for a few minutes grounded me back in reality and i was able to get back to sleep. the nightmare sleep isn't restful, so i feel like i'm only getting a couple of hours of real sleep each night.
Hi Everyone -
M2C - sorry that your FS was such a jerk - how insensitive. As all the other ladies have said, 5 weeks is too early and it is very common not to be able to see the heartbeat. Will be thinking of you and :pray: for your next scan.
Bel - thinking of you and hope that all is well.
Kahlan - good to hear from you, I was just thinking that I hadn't seen you post in a while. I hope the spotting goes away, I had a couple of bouts of spotting off and on until 8 weeks. OB said it was just a blood vessel that got to full. Call your GP, it might make you feel better to get their advice.
BG - I can't imagine how much MS you have had, I hope it eases soon for you. Sounds like you have a great DH and it is very reassuring just to hear their voice. My DH goes tomorrow to the states for 3.5 weeks, not sure how I will go without him for that long! Thank god for Skype and webcams !!
FG - great to hear your levels are rising. Don't worry about the no PG symptoms, I had nothing until almost 7 weeks and then MS and tiredness kicked in.
HM - you are always so positive - your bub is going to be so mellow with all your good vibes :)
TL. Numa, Nic, Janie, BW, Nicole, Chez, Devon, Dusty, Scooby thinking of you and sending :bellyrubs: to you all.
AFM - MS still comes and goes in waves, (TMI warning - constipation is a constant these days and so bloated) but am enjoying twice daily naps during the weekend !
9 sleeps until 12 week scan , had bloods done on Friday so feeling like we are getting closer to another milestone.
Take care,
LNB
Just a quick post for me tonight ladies...DH is being an A hole!!!
LNB, constipation is a doosy hey :doh: Mine comes and goes and I find drinking lots of water a treat also try and increase your fibre.
Bring on 9 more sleeps and your 12 week scan...
M2C, stay positive like all the ladies have said it just might be a bit too early.
FG, great to hear your levels are rising. As for pg symptoms...you may be lucky like myself and a few of the other ladies and only have slight symptoms.
Kahlan, hope you had no more spotting today and so glad that you got to see bub's on the screen.
Sending all you ladies lots of :bellyrubs::bellyrubs::bellyrubs:.
There are so many of us in here it is so great but hard to keep up...
AFM, DH is being a big A hole!!
I made a roast tonight for dinner and cause it came out a bit dry gee you think I was serving up mud!!
I feel so guilty when I get angry back at him and hope (as silly as this sounds) it doesn?t hurt the baby.
We have tried for so long to get here I say sorry to the baby after any disagreement.
Other than that it's my last week at work before 3 weeks off :dance:
Not feeling sick just tired and having some wardrobe issues which I fixed today $$$$
Anyway off to have some lime jelly..yummmmm.....nite all
Hi all my lovely friends,
Just a couple of personals and I'll get back into it this week.
M2C- I really think your FS scared you unnecessarily regarding a possible ectopic. I have suffered an ectopic and I don't think the info he gave you is correct. Also I agree totally with the other ladies here that it really is probably just too early for you right now. I am thinking of you and know how stressful all these testing times can be.
LNB- I am with on the constipation issue. I was so excited yesterday when I actually had a "normal" toilet visit!! AND we have our 12 week scan on the same day. I can't wait either.
FG- Great news on the levels rising nicely. You will feel so much better and reassured when you see your little one on the screen.
Kahlan- Sorry you have had some spotting. I say do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you need some reassurance (as I did) speak to your Dr. Hoping all has settled down now xx
BG- The dreams sound horrible you poor thing. So happy that you can contact DH. Sometimes it's hard for me to contact my DH when he is away and sometimes you really just need to hear their voice and reassurance.
Sorry if I missed you. It's late and I'm sleepy.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Sorry I have been MIA again. Things seem to have started to settle down quite a bit for me. Had practically no old blood on Thurs and Fri, but just a little bit again this weekend. Had a moment of clarity the other night, where I just knew everything would be alright..that our 2 precious babies would be ok. I'm n a much better place now and am looking forward to DH and I seeing our babies again in 9 sleeps for our 12 week scan.
Nighty night all. Am thinking of each and everyone of you wonderful ladies.
Big hugs Bel
Kahlan, gorgeous, you are so kind and giving. Thank you. I will go for a 20 week scan i think...although i have been a bit naughty and i still have to book for my midwife appointment and check up for the 12/13 weeks. I think i am rebelling!:shhh:
Hun i hope the spotting doesn't go on for too long and it is nothing too serious. If it was a one off i wouldn't worry but if it keeps going i would say something of course to you GP. You will know what is best hun...but apparently it is oh so common as girls in here will attest!
Farmgirl, Great going sunshine:clap: that is wonderful news that your levels are rising and all is going well. Make the most of every moment hun ...especially the symptom free ones!! LOL
LNB, Thanks babe, Awww you are so lovely. You know i hope we have a calm little one...that would be a great plan!;) Enjoy those naps hun and I can't believe youa re 9 sleeps away from that scan....HOW EXCITING!! Horrid MS stay away...no more waves for LNB please.
BG- Oh hun that MS has got it's ugly claws dug in hasn't it. I hope it eases soon hun. You have certainly kept yourself busy. Oh cards...everytime i hear someone is doing cards i feel dreadful i haven't done them in years. I will have to start again one day... And the cross stitch...what a wonderful way to welcome your little bub.
Bless your DH, aren't they wonderful friends to us. Those dreams sound troubling and I hope they rest for you soon. Your subconscious is giving you a good run that is for sure. I hope they bring things to the surface for you to deal with, but at the very least you are getting to talk to that wonderful hubby of yours...despite the fact that neither of you remember the conversations. HA LOL, so funny. Love it.:lol:
Nic, you know i have always believed that it is ok to get angry and sad as long as you explain yourself to your bubs. You are doing that hun. You are human and saying sorry is a wonderful way of showing your baby respect and love. That communication is wonderful. Just be kind to yourself, don't blame yourself or put yourself down hun to do so, which i am sure you are not...it is sometimes hard for me. Teach your baby forgiveness and confidence....which you are already doing. How wonderful that this is second nature for you. As for hubby and your lovely roast..he hee, well i hope he suffered a little. LOL boys can be so mean and cheeky sometimes. Tell him to go and get maccas next time. LOL:clap:
Bel, Hun that is great news. I am so happy for you. And that moment of clarity...how fantastic. I hope it will keep going swimmingly and you can see those cherubs again real soon. xxoox Hugs to you hun for getting through the rough spots.
M2C- Thinking of you hun and hoping you are ok. My fingers are crossed and i am praying for you. xoxo
Possums, Devon, Numa, Mon, WLB, Chez, TL, Janie, BW, Nicole, Dusty, Scooby and any other ladies i have missed:loveshower:to you all.
AFM- We are going great guns. I have started my blog and started saying my goodbyes to my LTTTC Journal #3...lucky third. It was a big step for me but I am ready to take on the world. Well, one step at a time.
We are just over 10 weeks now and counting down to Boxing Day when we hit the 3 month milestone. So so exciting and will be a bit of a teary day i suspect...only cause i think about it now and the excitement leaves a lump in my throat. He hee, we shall see!
I have had a couple of good days where the queasiness is starting to ease a bit...not so much 24/7. Had a few good meals that have gone down a treat and i haven't felt horrid afterwards. I am so pleased with this, it means i get some better nutrition into me. So fingers crossed i will see the MS ease more and more each day...and by Xmas i can eat up. Yay.
Sorry TMI....Noticed in the shower this morning that i had some...tiny bit, of creamy stuff in the crease of my nipples. As you all know so well bb inspection is a full on in the first tri...and this was a discovery. It must be a bit of colostrum starting to come out...pretty cool i guess but it did shock me a little at first.
Anyway i will stop blabbing and do some housework while i feel remotely like doing it.
Love and rubs to you all
HM xoxoxo
Hey Hm - (TMI about to come) I have got that too....yellow-y creamy in colour. I don't know what to do with it though. It has been there for a couple of weeks and I can't exactly take a scrubbing brush
to it so I guess I just leave it be?
Hi and Belly rubs to everyone - no personals today, but just wanted to catch you all up on the calm birth class.....
We finished our class last week and let me tell ya....I can't wait for my baby's birthday. I am super psych'd to do this naturally and I am feeling suprememly confident that my baby will know how to be born and my body knows how to birth my baby. I would hightly recommend these classes - even if you are having a planned C/S or plan to have other forms of pain relief. The people I did the class with did not judge anyone about their choices for birth and the class really is a lot more than just breathing techniques. I feel so much more connected to my husband and baby now and I have really minimal if any anxiety about the remaining 21 weeks and the birth day.
Anyway - if any one wants more info ask away.....I'd be happy to give more detail on this subject (I'm not an expert, but could give you some more about the class content).
Any-hoo, super excited, only 2 more sleeps til our 19 week scan. We have decided not to find out the sex of the baby (unless the baby really wants us to know and is sitting spread-eagled facing the U/s and there's no getting around it)
Best be off - thinking of you all.

Hey Girls it is Colustrum comes and goes but all a good sign. PawPaw ointment helps if the nipples start to crack
AFM: Moving day and 24 week check up tommorrow may not have the net tonight or tomorrow though
Oh TL- goodluck on the moving day. Hmmm watching the men in your life move boxes...what a way to spend a day.LOL
Nixon, Yep it is all cool like TL said. I just rub it in..it is a little oily and i figure pretty good for the area...but to be honest there really isn't much. Hun...you have to go a long way for it to be TMI for this chook. My boobs, belly, hips and thighs get a good rub down with almond oil twice a day after each shower. So hopefully my plan is to avoid dry cracked nipples...if i can help it...but i guess hormones can have a mind of their own. Oh stay away stretch marks too. LOL I am so proud and thrilled for you hun that you have found such confidence in yourself, your relationship and your baby. Calm Birth is quite similar to Hypnobirthing. I think the big difference is the language used. But both are meant to be absolutely brilliant. I have read the book and the change over me back then and again recently was wonderful. I watched a friend and my SIL find immense confidence in their bodies and becoming a mum, birthing and coping with pg issues. The change i saw in my SIL was incredible. She went from being very unsure and not confident, with average and common fears about everything to wanting to be at my baby's birth to witness a live birth again...she loved it. That is something i thought she would never want to do, and she is a tough cookie to crack.
Boy i go on...sorry. I am thrilled for you hun and wish you all the luck for the 20 week scan and beyond.
Love and luck to you xpoxox
