Pregnancy after LT TTC #11

[CK77]

Hello everyone! I've been MIA for a week at least I think and again so much has happened in everyone's lives.

Firstly - Big congratulations Juniper, I am so pleased your BT was positive. Sorry to hear though that you've been hit with the tiredness, I've been lucky to last past Masterchef lately!!

Also congratulations and welcome Maggie! A few of us that are early along in our pregnancy have had bleeding/spotting, but I'm sure with the proper care your FS will prescribe that everything will be a-okay for you and the bub (or bubs - is it only the one?)

Leabie - at my scan (6w3d) bub was 6.3mm so your 8.2mm blob sounds like it's a great size. I got my scan a bit earlier than the standard 7wk as I had some bleeding and was a blubbering mess wondering what was wrong. Prescription: no sex until 12 weeks - and Brunette I think it was your DH who said "we're not going to have sex for 9mths are we?" - that was the EXACT thing my DH said. After the early troubles I think we'll both probably be petrified anyway to DTD. What I can't understand is how there is a difference between having sex and having that dildo (I'm sure it's actually a highly sophisticated and technical ultrasound device) whacked up there and wiggled around.

Brunette, my pessaries are before bed and then an hour or so before getting up in the morning. However I'm not setting an alarm for the morning one, so I'm waking up to pee at about 2am, checking the time to make sure it's not 5am and time to 'pessary up'. Then I'm trying to go back to sleep, FAIL, then I finally nod off and wake up again to pee and it's around 3 or 4am so I just think bugger it and do the pessary then instead of getting up again at 5. It's really screwing around with me and I feel a bit like a zombie.
I hope you enjoy the next mad wheelchair outing with your Mum.

LondonMiss - I'd definitely be putting a sign on the front door even though your neighbour means well, you need your sleep otherwise next we'll hear your neighbour has ended up rolled up in rug and dumped in the Yarra!

Lise - the photo was great, I cannot wait to get a big belly on me! So envious of you, you look radiant!

Renee - not long now until you're out of your 1st trimester so hopefully your MS will reduce or stop altogether.

AFM, still no MS. I went for a blood test that is needed as part of the NT scan (next Tuesday, ****ting myself) and the lady drawing the blood said that I'm one of the lucky ones, but there's a big part of me that wants to experience EVERYTHING being that I've wanted this pregnancy for so long. I'm just about out of the 1st trimester so figure that if I haven't had anything by now, I'm not getting it. A workmate's wife got her NT scan a few weeks ago but got the full blown 4D thingee with it - is that normal? I'm going to some digital imaging place to get it done, whereas I think they went through the hospital to get theirs done.

I hit 33 years yesterday, so DH took me for a lovely dinner in the city, whipped out a Pandora bracelet for me, and then when we got home he pulled out a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Shop that he had hidden in the fridge. This morning I have woken up with swollen glands, sore throat and a cough so happy birthday me

LondonMiss, sorry to be a pain but can I change my due date on your list? I thought 15th December which was working back to LMP but I asked FS why he had 19th Dec and he said that conception date is different with IVF and blah blah blah (he's hard to understand at the best of times). So EDD is Sunday 19th December, so I will hit my 12 week milestone this Sunday.

Glenny, KitKat, MissK, hope all is well and apologies if I have missed anyone.
