Hi everyone
Just a quicky wanted to say good luck to BG and Possums for the scans. Hate to rain on the parade but i really just wanted to give a word of warning, i had an early scan with DS 6weeks and 3 days i think and he had a very low HB (86bpm) hemmoraging and enlarged yolk sac. so i was very dubious about having an early scan again. Needless to say he is a healthy 5 year old now, but i can tell you the week in between till the next scan was a living hell the dr told me id MC, but i found out later it was just too early!! And is heart would just have been starting up.
Sorry dont want to be the bad guy but i just was very well forwarned about having an early scan and what to expect (its in a thread somewhere) i'd hate for you to panic today if things dont seem up to speed! it can be very normal not to get a HB till 7 weeks. In saying that i hope today is wonderful and you get to see your little bub thriving and doing well.
Hi ti everyone else !!!! Be on for personal later
thanks for the warning and advice Scooby. I guess that was my worry with going in so soon too. Here's hoping. I am really really nervous and trying to distract myself with work, which isn't really working!!!
Hey possums
Big i woudl say not to stress but i just remember that day so well! Esppicially after the ectopic as well, i know were your coming from, i was terrified going in for the scan and also so upset with myself as it should have been such an exciting day and i just couldnt get past my fear. It not nice! Sending you loads of cyber good vibes, have you got any "rescue remedy" that is my other little life saver.
Oh good luck i will be thinking of you and hanging out to hear your wonderful news this avo
Thanks so much Scooby, it's great knowing people here really do understand! I do have rescue remedy, but it's at home..! My DH keeps telling me to be calm and positive, but as you say, it's so hard getting past the fear
hi all - just got back from the scan (and a touch of shopping - and sharing with family!) - scan this morning was fantastic. was feeling very anxious - to the point of nausea being almost more than i could take! But, everything looking great. we're measuring a couple of days smaller than expected, but the clinic don't care at all - and we have a heartbeat! woo hoo!! i see the FS again in 10 days, but they don't seem to be stressing at all - HCG numbers are climbing as they should be, the Gremlin has a heartbeat - so everything is kicking along nicely
the guy doing the scan was a little concerned about the size of the ovary that i ovulated from - the left has a volume of 8.4ml, the right is 342ml - no wonder i've been getting niggles! i'm not too phased though - we knew it was enlarged before i triggered, so this is just something i need to be aware of
so, as it stands, it looks to be that we're due somewhere between May 28 and May 31 - i can deal with that window of time!
Hi ladies,
BG that is wonderful news for you. I am so happy for you.
I am feeling kind of naughty posting here as I am still TTC, but have been looking longingly at your posts, I know most of your stories and my heart cries with happiness for you all. You so deserve it. Anyway I just wanted to say how lovely I think it is that you still have each other here, in this next step, and while all us TTCers are just focussed on that BFP, I can see that both the worry and the good news doesn't end with a BFP. And so it shouldn't. I am waiting with baited breath until it is my turn too and I can join you here.
BG that is excellent that all went well on your scan. Congratulations!
The measurements are all just estimates, so you always expect a small variance.
With my DD my U/S showed she was 4 days younger then what I expected based on my LMS. The obst just made that my new EDD and we went by that after the 6 week U/S.
Well what a start to a weekend! I am happy things went well.
i'm kinda liking the idea of using the second date as EDD as it will actually put me due early June - which means i have longer before any potential intervention! i figured with AC you can be relatively sure of dates though, so will let the FS put the final label on EDD... may as well let him have SOME part of it seeing it was IUI and the only thing he did was sign the form with the dosage of drugs i said i wanted, and the nurse did the rest!
BG- great news!!! Very pleased for you...I was so nervous too, I felt sick
afm- we have good news too! there was a heartbeat...our little one was pulsing away...a little flickering blob on the screen. The heart rate was 108BPM and I dont know how that compares to where it should be (the guy doing the scan didnt say much on that point and said I should ask my Dr questions)....
and we also measured a bit smaller than we thought...we were 6 weeks 5 days, but our little possum was measuring about 6 weeks 1 day. I was a bit worried, but reading on here it sounds like thats OK?? I thought with IVF it would be pretty much spot on, but I guess there can be lots of variances.
So we are really pleased. Phew. I will see my OB on tuesday...hopefully we can have another scan in another couple of weeks before the 12 week one.
BG and Posssums- Have been BUSTING to get on the computer and check on you both. Am so so so so so very happy for you both that you saw your little ones today. What an amazing thing.
