Snap, 5th clomid cycle (in siggie) for me too Belinda & Danni, hehe. :)
Hey Danni, u can get a preggy belly now hey.
Morning everyone.... so quiet in here!
hello ladies
Lovely belly av Danni, did u have that b4, I nearly missed it, hehe. :)
Hehe shell yes I did have it before and you kinda stumped me the other day when you said "you can get a belly av now".
I dont like it though as its hard to see! I want my big belly out there so everyone can see :cryinglaugh:
Im hoping to get it changed soon
Morning everyone :hello:
:hello: Kar! How you going with your doppler?
Ive been getting some nice strong sounds but am worried How often is "too often" to be using it?
This morning I was the sickest ive ever been...yuck!
I had a scan on Tuesday, did I tell you all? (im so dumb, i get confused between all these threads!)
I had a lot of pain so had a scan and was AMAZED at how much i could see. everything was perfect!
There is a pic on juniors website :)
Hehe Danni, oh well, must be the black top in ur av that makes belly not stand out as much, as blends in with the wings. Cool side profile of bubs too. Hope ur feelin better now, maybe just ligaments stretching. Doppler, I used mine about once/twice / wk until started feeling bub move, then less often. Coz the hz is much lower than the u/sound machines is safer apparently & my obgyn told me that the only proof they have of toooo many u/sounds doing any damage is a small % decrease in birth weight. :)
Wow just realised ur past the halfway mark Kar, congrats.
Hi girls,
Danni - I looked at your u/s pic - but none of it makes sense to me. Maybe when I have more experience at looking at them it will. Sorry. But what if I don't even understand my own u/s pics? lol I'm a lost cause.
Where did you guys buy the doppler from? They are only effective after 12wks, is that right?
I am majorly stressing out about my baby atm. The last two nights I have been having nightmares. Wed night I dreamt I ran into some friends in the street and told them I had a miscarriage, then said I don't want to talk about it and walked off. Last night I dreamt I had a b/t at 7wks and the HCG level was 500 and they told me the baby was dying inside me and they have to terminate the pregnancy. My DH told me it's natural to have these dreams as all women worry about the worst and probably dream the same things. But these dreams are terrifying me, as they are so realistic. I'm trying to put them out of my mind, but I'm afraid I'll have another dream tonight like them.
Sorry for the stressful nature of the post, I hope I don't upset anyone. Is this normal, or am I crazy? lol - or both.
Belinda,
I had loads of those sorts of dreams too, and unlike most mums, I didn't often dream happy dreams of having baby home with me. But as you can see Charlie is here and is healthy and happy. You will be fine, hunny, I so believe that!
Belinda - I wouldn't say it was normal for everyone, but you'll find all the girls in here know exactly what you are talking about. Getting to 12 weeks when things are safer might very well feel like the longest time in your life. The PALTTC girls frequently refer to the straightjacket that is pregnancy after LTTTC or LTAC and some have done some amazing things with theirs. We've had faux fur and sequins etc etc. I've loosened mine a bit.
Dreams and nightmares in pregnancy are common. Someone once told me that nightmares like the ones you are having are good because what you dream in your nightmares never come true. I try to think that when ever I have one, it calms me down.
Shell - ta - can't believe I am over halfway now either. After going so slowly things are now speeding up big time.
Danni - I'm too chicken to use the doppler again. The little one is moving heaps now so I don't worry so much these days.
belinda: i got my doppler second hand and its from fertility naturopath. You can get cheap ones from Kmart where you can hear the heartbeat but I prefer mine as it gives you the reading to make sure its in the right range. I heard bubs hb from about 11w4d I think?
I also had HORRIBLE nightmares in the first few weeks. Now I dont which is good but I had horrible horrible ones thats for sure!
Thanks girls, you have all reassured me that I am not a monster for having such horrible dreams. *hugs* I'm feeling very emotional today and it's so nice to have such good support from you girls.
Danni
just looked at your scan... do you feel relieved and enjoyed seeing junior again? Did they do the NT or just a check? Will you still be having the NT on Monday?
kar it was an amazing feeling!!!!! I will still have the nt scan on monday
Kar
just noticed your ticker! What a lovely bump!
No ur not crazy Belinda, like the other girls said. I remember having many dreams where I'd forget to feed my baby for days.
I too got my doppler (angelsounds) from fertilitynaturopath, but called somethin else now. Around 12wks (or slightly less), the kmart ones say u can start hearing hbeat from around 21-30wks.
I agree, Kar, 'tis a lovely baby bump.
Hi guys I agree about the bump Kar very cool!!
Belinda I have had some pretty awful dreams to, and I too have donned the lovely straight jacket!!
Danni glad th scan was ok can be a scary time.
Well our antenatal classes started last night. So far so good.
I am soooo ready to finish work..not having fun at all!!!
Big belly rubs to all
Yay Shez - look at your bump! And YAY for getting to 30 weeks!
Sush - glad to see Charlie in another hat. He is so gorgeous. I still think he should be betrothed to Holly Maree. LOL!
Belinda - I bought my doppler from ebay.
And Aw shucks - thanks for the compliments on my bump girls. Some think I'm having twins. I just tell them I'm shortwaisted.
Hi Ladies,
I hope you are all well. I was wondering how much doppler's are??
I am considering getting one as I think it would relax me. I had the stitch of the cervix put in on Tuesday and am on semi bed rest. We see the OB again on Tuesday but it has been a long week to make sure bubs is ok even though OB reassures me that everything went well.
I look forward to my next ultrasound and then I think after 30 weeks I will feel more relaxed. Just another 15 weeks to go!!

Mine was about $95. And not sure if you saw the thread I posted after I got mine and tried to use it. It freaked me out hugely and I got very upset because I couldn't hear the heartbeat (although I could see the numbers). I bought it because I thought it would relax me. What I hadn't counted on (nor thought about before blithely trying to use it) is that I wouldn't be able to get it to work properly and, that as a consequence, I would freak out and be ten times more anxious. It freaked me out so badly that I haven't tried to use it again. And in the mean time the baby started moving so now I know things are ok.
Danni on the other hand - is a real whiz with hers.
I'm thinking of selling mine.
Shez, lovely bump there too.
Kar, hehe, I always got comments that I was big, hehe, u dont look too big to me. :)
Linda, mine was $68 + $13 postage, but no digital output like Kar's (AngelSounds). I'm going to sell mine too when I'm done with it. :)
:hello: fellow glowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had my NT scan today and OMG!! I was told "I would be shellshocked if it isnt a boy!!!:eek: whoo hoo i knew it was a boy!
Lets see in 5 weeks if he was right or not!
There is a pic on juniors page, so active, strong heartbeat. oerfect in every way!!! :D im over the moon (AGAIN!) can you tell? :rolleyes:

Congrats on finding out Danni - but I'm sure you would have been over the moon had you found out you were having a girl - but it is very exciting that you have found out!!!
well i guess its not 100% yet, but we'll see in 5 weeks :D
WTG Danni on a great scan & finding out what flavour. Oh very nice, good to have a pickie to stare at huh. :)
Hey Chris & Tiff, did u girls see there's a Hunter IVF picnic Sun 19/11?
Danni - I am COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY GREEN with envy :D that you found out but...seriously.... how cool is it that you know already!
dont get me too excited, its not definite! hehe but am counting down to 5 weeks time :D
Ooooh Danni, how cool that you are probably have a little man :D
Remind me never to tell you girls anything again!
How can I not get excited with you OTT girls :D
yaye Danni a boy!!!! wow lots of boys around!!!!!!!!
Danni - I hope that guess is right then you can go on a Blue Binge (the shopping spree you have when you're having a boy). May I offer you a catalogue?
Chris - belated congrats from me too on finding out the flavour of your little one. Wonderful to see your ticker powering along.
Shez - 30 weeks ... the time just flies! Can't wait to hear news of your little one arriving.
Belinda - welcome to the surreal world of Pg after LTTTC (the condition, that is ... not the forum). Get out that microscope because you'll need it to analyse every little symptom. Good luck!
Kar - love the ticker photo!
Hi everyone else. Hope you're all doing well.
Love,
Mel and William
mel, id love a catalogue :D
Danni,
HA! I was right (but to be confirmed in 5 weeks, I know! I Know!) I said blue for you and Kar! And I'm sure I said pink for Shez. I've got a 30% accuracy rate so far!
I said boy for me and Kar so lets see if we're right with her :D
Sush and Danni - You two are going to be waiting a L-O-N-G time for me to find out.... My next scan isn't until 34 weeks (11 weeks away!).
Had to go back to Ob this morning and looks like I have a superficial thrombosis (blood clot) on the inside of my left knee (I have such old lady varicose veins already!). Ob said I was going to be in pain for 3 weeks and had to keep my feet up - but working on the couch is so errrgh! Anyone got any good cures for VV? I tried the support stockings but my legs kill when they come off at night and I can't sleep.
Hi Ladies :hello:
I never thought I'd graduate from LT TTC but its finally happened. Its all a bit scary actually - every little cramp makes me nervous then the abscence of every little cramp makes me even more nervous! HCG at 17dpo was 317 and I was told I wouldnt need any further BT's (which I thought was a bit strange but am taking it as a good sign). Having my 7 weeks scan on 6th Nov which I'm sure will really put my mind at ease. Feeling pretty tired and getting "afternoon" m/s. YUCK :p
Congratulations to all and wishing you the very best of luck in your pregnancies. Hope to get to know you all better and share this special journey :hug:
