Thanks Mildez, that's reassuring! I'm so happy for all of your positive test results too, and yay for no surgery!
I'm already on pessies as part of the treatment and I'm hoping uping them will be enough. I'm just so anxious! How do you guys cope with the anxiety?
How much progest are u on bec?
Definitely up it if it's gone down.
Great hcg though!
With the FET did they get your body to ovulate?
That can make a difference!
Well I'm freaking out ( again :-/) .... A bit of brown discharge :-( ... Given my history it does not comfort me in the slightest that it's only brown and a little but I guess it's all I have to cling too!
Please somebody knock me out so my brain does not have the choice to think :-/.
Please help pray it will be fine...
I got to get to that scan!
Sarah I have everything crossed for you the brown discharge is nothing to worry about. The only time I have ever had bleeding of any description except my ectopic was this pregnancy but I was only 4 weeks and it was red. I guess it was a form of implant bleeding. Even my 4 other m/c I have not bleed until well after I have found out the pregnancy is not progressing. I guess I am just not a bleeder. Are you on asprin?
Bec as for controlling the anxiety I did not do a very good job of that. I would go from being determined to stay positive and telling myself the outcome is completely out of my control to convincing myself it was all over. Even now after a reassuring scan at 12weeks I keeping having this fear that this is to good to be true and just waiting for something adverse to happen. If it were to I am sure I would tell myself I knew it was going to happen all along. I definitely prepared myself for the worst early on. For my 1st scan I had so much ovary pain I even packed my bags and put it in the car expecting to be going to hospital to have my remaining tube removed due to another ectopic. Admittedly I did have really bad ovary pain but it was the cysts causing that after all. I got a ticker and announced the pregnancy something I have never done even with my pregnancy that resulted in my DD. But I still can't buy any maternity clothes, bigger bras or things for the baby. I have just started looking but can't bring myself to buy anything yet. It really is a kind of torture we do to ourself and does add to the past grief that a lot of the enjoyment of a new pregnancy is overshadowed by fear and anxiety.
I feel the same as you Mildez, I can't manage anything pg related just yet. I told my Dad and my sisters that we were pregnant, but I've said it so many times it's like I feel like I'm crying wolf! I am hoping that I will get better with time though. FS has suggested uping the prog so I'll do that and hope for the best until my scan in 1 week.
Oh I think the exact same ad you bec! I allways say I feel like the girl who cried pregnant! I try to avoid telling people so I don't have to say I lost it again, and again ect x 8 .
And mildez I know how hard it is to believe I brought 2 maternity dresses my last pg and hated to look at them after mc!
Eventhough the babies room is nearly done it's been a long time since I've left the door open to dare to believe!
Do you have one of those fetal dopplers?
I'm thinking I'll need one once I'm 12wks :-/.
I swear I was never a paranoid person before my mc's and if it doesn't relate to preg I'm pretty laid back!
I don't like what ltttc has done to my brain!
Yes I have a doppler. I didn't use it until 11+5 and it took me a good 15mins to find it. I did think it was there but as I heard some strange noises which I think was the baby moving. I also used it the morning of my 12week scan as I have this fear at every scan they will say sorry there is no HB. I also used it yesterday as I have had some very stressful days with work and with my eldest daughter (about to turn 14). She is going through the whole I am the next hollywood star and in the next moment my life is over haha. I think I was similar at her age but not so challenging.
Apparently my sister send me some maternity clothes which are at my parents. So perhaps I wont need to buy much in the next couple of months anyway. Can't believe I am in the 2nd trimester Its a good feeling. 1/3rd of the way to the end if all goes to plan.
Thanks Mildez, I'm travelling ok, although I had a massive argument with my DH yesterday and ended up driving away in tears. I completely overreacted! Ah, hormones, gotta love them! I am on holidays at the moment so I can just rest. The problem is I am also bored which is not good!
I remember being 14, it's a tough gig! Good luck for both you and her!
I had a doppler last pg, and it was good unless i couldn't find what I was looking for and then I stressed! But it was handy between scans.
Sarah, we left our daughters nursery along after we lost her, I just packed up her clothes and left everything else alone, thinking we would be having another baby soon...2 and a half years later, I cleared it out and repainted. And we found out we were pg the same week! I'm glad I did it though. I am not going to do a nursery until baby is home with us and then we can decide what to do with the room. Thinking of you today and tomorrow for your bt and scan!
