Pregnancy after LT TTC #19

Hi Lovely ladies

JBM ~ oh thats so sweet and exciting. I can't wait until DH and I can feel some kicks. Hope you're enjoying Qld!
Oneday ~ hope everything is going well
Me+ ~ hope the nauseus is settling a bit. I think I had my first lil bit of MS this morning and I am excited lol
Kass ~ everything is going well so far - thanks for asking. Glad everything is perfect with your little bub :)
Lori ~ thanks for the welcome and wishes. Love the name - beautiful, congrats!!

AFM ~ looking forward to my scan Friday, starting to get little nervous but very excited also. Really hope we can hear or see the heartbeat :)

dreamrise: YAY for finding a name! so pretty too!

Loops: I hope your scan comes quick for you! It is so scary waiting but once you see bubs you think "why was I so worried for?"

JBM: having fun I hope!

AFM: 8 weeks to go!!!!! only 56 sleeps! I never got to my due date last time so I want to know what it feels like! just booked my scan for my 34 week placenta check ( I have grade 2 previa ) and its next tuesday and another $200!!!! so angry! the same price my morphology scan was but all they do is check the placenta position for about 10 mins! grrrrr kids are expensive! and I have $400 rego due that week too! I'll get over it!

Hi everyone!
I am here!! ****!!!! =O still in shock!
but had my blood test today and my bHCG is 213 =)
this was our 2nd ISCI cycle, our 3rd t/f. this time we had day 2 embryos put in (all our others were 5 days).

*breathes* I guess the big thing is now what do I do...taken 2 years of active trying (10 years of longing and wanting and being ready) to get here....now what???

Teirae - Congratulations! Lol - I had exactly the same problem when I finally got the bfp - I'd read every book on ttc and felt I knew the ivf world inside out. Actually being pregnant though... no idea! I guess your first step (after a few big breaths :) ) is deciding if you want to go public or private, and if you go for private, work out where and who soon, they can fill up fast. And make an appt with your gp in the meantime since your clinic will probably send you on your way without further instruction as soon as you've had your dating scan/s :) All the best x

mhb - You're getting so close :) Hope the scan goes well, pain about the cost!

Loops - Good luck tomorrow!

afm - Off to the dentist today, hopefully nothing to fix but I've had some aching teeth the last couple of days. fx it isn't my wisdom teeth - my mum had to get hers out while pg, apparently hormones can set them off. I've been semi intending to get them removed for years, but had intended to be knocked out for the duration - don't want to be having it done in the chair!

Tentatively saying hi... Teirae glad to see you in here too :). Are you due the 22nd? If so we are either due the same day or one day apart.

=) I'm due 23rd. yea I was looking at your dates and thought hey we are the same =)

I'm due 23rd as well :). Funnily enough, before the low hcg results, we were actually worried about twins. We had two follies this IUI. Numbers look like it's only one though.

Hi Ladies
I'm freaking out and need your help please. I have never had many pg symptoms, no morning sickness or anything just tired, sore boobs, peeing in ther night etc and the main thing i've been hanging on to is having that stretching/tight feeling in my uterus. The last few days this is eased off and now i dont feel it at all in the morning, by evening its there just slightly but not as strong. My head is thinking that this is the time when there is more growth and i should be feeling this more, not less? And the fact it has eased off now? Its just doing my head in!!

Just wondering what did others feel around this stage? (i'm just over 10 wks now) I see my Ob again next thurs, just so hard to not think the worst. I really wish I had no memory and this was my first innocent pregnancy!
Sorry to be such a worrywart :rolleyes:

"hi" to the new ladies...welcome! (sorry to be rude with the me post :duh:)

Thanks heaps everyone
Yogi xx

Congrats and welcome Teirae & Maruschke :loveshower:

Loops, GOOD LUCK for today, i hope you see a happy little beanie with a strong hb flickering away! :crossfingers:

Loops good luck today - I hope you see your little bub flickering away today and s/he melts your heart :D.

Yogi as hard as it is to believe (I find it hard, lol) some women have very few symptoms, and symptoms do come and go. Thursday is only 6 days away, I hope you stay sane til then. I'm on a countdown til thursday as well.

Hi Yogi!! No advice sorry... but i've had nothing yet.. (even though i am only 4 weeks), but no symptoms doesnt mean no baby! I wouldnt expect you should feel that all the time! Just take care of yourself, drink lots of water and rest. it will be ok! *hugs*.

Thinking of you today Loops! let us know how you go!!! xoxox

hi everyone else =)

Yogi - I had no symptoms at all! I was completely stressed about it as well - I understand how you feel. But, no sickness, tiredness, food issues, sore boobs, nothing! It took me until about 22 weeks before I started to get a bit of a tummy, and 23 before I felt any kicking. In all honesty, if I didn't know I was pg right now I'd probably think I was just a bit bloated :) Try not to worry - I know it's next to impossible - I'm sure everything will be fine next week. :hug:

Welcome Marushke - congratulations again :)

Good luck today loops!

Hi everyone else!

Hi Ladies - i hope you dont mind me joing in here aswell..... My name is Nikki (lol obviously) and have been TTC for 5.5 years..We got our natural BFP a few weeks back but im just now feeling comfy to come in and chat... .

Do any of you girls have any good remedies for MS???... Mine has been soooo bad lately and nothing i have tried is working... yesterday was by far my worst day where i couldnt leave the bathroom for AGES lol.... (its all extremely worth it tho ;) )... My DH and DD have been so helpful which im so greatful for, i am just feeling useless atm tho and would like to find something so i can move around alittle and not be stuck on the lounge hehe

Loops - best of luck for your scan today :)

Yogi - I'm sure everything is fine... Goodluck for your OB appt on thursday

Teirae - I'm excited to see you in here.. i wonder how many bub's you have got in there.. your numbers are pretty high huh .... i bet you cant wait to find out

:hello: Kass and everyone else ... i hope you are all doing well

Anyway i look forward to chatting to you all soon

xox

Hi Lovely ladies

Tei and Maruschke ~ welcome ladies, YAY :happydance: Hope everything goes smoothly for you both.

Thanks for the lovely wishes for today ladies

Scan today was good, exciting but I was so nervous going in. bub is measuring only 6wks 1 day, a little stressed over it because I thought I was further along but then again my cycles can be long and get up to 36days so it is hard to know. I also have a friend that went in for a scan when she thought she was 10 weeks and the same sonographer (or whatever they are lol) told her it only looked like 8 weeks and she has gone on a lot further now. We saw the tiny flicker of the heart beat and it was at about 115 to 120 BPM. :D

Ive changed my sig - dated it back a little.

nikki yes I remember being in TTC threads with you, sooooo glad you finally have your bfp! You have certainly waited a while.

Loops - awesome news about the hb!

Loops!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sent via my vortex manipulator

Congratulations Loops!!! :happyforyou: excellent news. Whats the next step for you now? when are you going to have another scan?

Thanks girls for your kind words today for a silly paranoid preggo woman!! :redface: I've had a few twinges return today so feeling just a tad better now. Wouldn't it be great if we could install an window on our bellies so we could check on our bubs all the time! No privacy for them but hey, it would make mum feel a whole lot better! :lol:

have a good weekend everyone...bellyrubs all round! :bellyrubs:

Yogi xx

Yogi - a window would be awesome :) Sign me up!
Loops - yay! Glad all is going well
Nikki - welcome :) Sorry I can't help with the ms, but I hope it passes soon

Hi everyone else - hope you're enjoying the weekend!

welcome to all the new ladies!!!

sorry but it is a me post...
I have been getting really bad lower back pain and period type cramps every 10 mins or so and alot of pressure "down there" surely pre labour can't start this early! I never got this with my son, I have had pains for the last few weeks but today is real bad.

Have you called your dr/mw? Hope everythings ok

kass - they have stopped now but seem to come every day, my next appointment is on wednesday so I will be telling him for sure!

Glad they've stopped mhb, if it starts up again though it's probably worth getting checked out before Wednesday - even if it is just for peace of mind

Just wanted to see how you are going Mehimbub? I hope things have settled down now and all is OK?

Welcome Nikki, congrats! Sorry I cant help you with ms...I've never had any inkling of feeling sick in any of my pregnancies, but i sure wish I did sometimes! Apparently its a good sign that pregnancy is going well. Ginger might help? How far along are you now? Have you had a scan?

Hi to all the wonderful ladies here, gotta lot of running around to do today so will catch up later.
Have a good one, loving this sunshine....bring on summer!!

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've been here and it seems that a lot has been happening - congrants and welcome to all the newbies here - it is going to take me a little while to catch up!

I've been directing all my energy to work and family, hence not getting to the social stuff on the puter, but trying to fix that now! I've been trying to focus what pg energy I have into trying to set things up to reduce the chances of getting PND with our second little one, not sure how it will go, but am trying!

Anyway will check in some more over the coming days, but wishing everyone well.
FG:thumbsup:

hey farmgirl! we were in this thread together last time!

Hi farmgirl - Glad you're still about :) Hope everything has been going well for you!

Hey lovely ladies
thanks for all your congrats

Nikki ~ welcome and wishing you all the very best! Hope that MS doesn't get too bad. I have regular acupuncture from a fertility specialist and that is supposed to keep away morning sickness. Ive only had a tiny tiny bit of MS first thing in the morning and not for long at all - I wonder if its the acupuncture?

Farmgirl ~ welcome - wow you are already so far along - I wish time would fly by for me. Wishing you all the very best!

Me+ ~ hope that pain has gone, goodluck.

Hope everyone is well

AFM ~ plugging along trying to be positive. I'm not sure whether I should try and have another scan before 12 weeks just to ease my mind. My sister said they dont like doing too many as it can be a risk to the baby. Does anyone know if this is correct. I know other on BB have had one every couple of weeks for peace of mind. I'm thinking I should be patient. Any opinions gladly taken.. ta

:bellyrubs::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: for all

Loops - I don't think there's any risk. My clinic gave me two at ~7 and ~8 weeks before sending me on my way as part of their standard procedure. For peace of mind I'd do it, the only draw back will be the cost.

Ok thanks so much for that advice Kass - think I will when I get back from my leave xoxo

there is no proof either way that there is risk/harm to the bub. BUT I know that bubs are aware of the u/s...atleast with older ones, you up the probe on and they kick it and react to it. No one knows though whether this reaction is good or bad.
Up to you though, if it would ease your mind then might be better than you stressing. like Kass said, cost would be a thing. and I guess having a care provider that is happy to do it. =)

Hi Loops
I dont think it can hurt bub as long as you're not getting scans like everyday! I've had 3 already and having another on thurs (@11 wks) then will probably have another at 13/14 wks. Might seem like a lot but given my history i'm more high risk for something going wrong. I was pregnant about 2 years ago had a scan at 7 wks all looked good, didn't have any more scans then m/c 2 days before the 13 wks scan, was in hospital as bub had died around 8 weeks and I then developed an infection (missed m/c). So not a nice experience and never would want to go through that again!! I dont mean to scare you, sorry but unfortunately these things can happen. my advice would be to have another scan in say 2 or 3 weeks....just to give you that peace of mind, its worth it honestly! Take care xxx

hi guys i am back from my one week in brissy and gold coast !!!
was fun
looks like lots to catch up on so will have to sit down and have a good read

had a great time. looking preggers now, very preggers !

loved having some "us "time with DH and no kids except bump who has been kicking me like crazy every day. lol

chat soon to all

Hi loops, i was worried about this too, but research i did said that there is no risk, as a scan is only a picture, based on soundwaves. If in doubt, ask your OBS!

J.

Thank you all so much for the advice. No Yogi I understand and appreciate you sharing. All the best hun - must be very scary for you - hugs.

JBM ~ welcome back and good to hear about bubs kicking :) hope you had a great time.

Think I'll definitely take your advice ladies and get one when I'm back from leave which will make me around the 10-11 week mark. cheers xo

Hi ladies just a quick one for me, i had my appointment with the obstertrician on tuesday and bub is still breech :( i have been booked in for a caeser but have another midwives appointment in a week and a half so we are just hoping she moves. Still upset but coming to terms with it. Hope everyone is well xxxxxx

loops: i had 2 early scans at 6 weeks, then one at 11 weeks. another one at 16 weeks (due to bleeding) i had 2 scans then one at 18 weeks and 20 weeks. so thats lots of scans. and all is o.k . good luck to you

oneday: bummer about baby being brech . sending you the best of luck. has your doc given you a cs date ?. good luck.


hi to all i forgot


AFM: back to work today, wishing i was still on holidays.
chat soon to all.

Hey JBM yeah we have been given a date but only telling our parents so its a suprise for everyone! go back to midwives on the 4th so i have everything crossed she moves!

oneday - ohhh I was so hoping bub would turn! still some time yet, fingers crossed for you!

JBM - so glad u had a lovely time up here :)

hi to everyone else

AFM: had my ob appointment yesterday and I couldn't be happier! he is so supportive of VBAC, he is happy for me to get to 42 weeks before he considers any intervention! he even said he would induce me and if that didn't work then a c section, I was utterly stunned, he said all this, I did not even mention it! also at my hospital they allow waterbirth if a qualified midwife is on and also they have portable ctg monitoring so u don't have to be strapped to the bed! I am getting excited! my bp is up at 150/88 but he took it 2 more times and it came down a bit. and I don't have diabetes either! bubs heartrate was a bit high so I had to have half an hour or monitoring but bub wouldn't keep still anyway. so I go back in two weeks and go from there.

mhb - Sounds great :) Hope the next few weeks go smoothly for you

Oneday - Hope your girl turns around fx!

JBM - sigh, work. Only a couple more months of that :)

Hi everyone I've missed :hello:

Hi ladies
Just a quick one....but I'm just busting to tell someone! Saw ob again this morning and all is still going well, bub measuring spot on for dates (i'm 11w3d today) and even saw a bit of movement going on...so exciting...and sooooo relieved! Just feels so surreal, think i'm still protecting myself. Booked for the NT scan next friday, if we can just get over this hurdle it will truly feel like a miracle, after all we have been through I just cant believe we are finally experiencing good news....just hope things continue this way! :pray:

Hope everyone is well & happy
Much love & light :loveshower:
Yogi
