Thanks Mia and Mich, I went to the Drs today and did a urine test which resulted in a very dark positive, so Im still pg which is great. I was then asked to do some blood tests but I said I didnt want to because Ive BTDT before, had great results and yet still m/cd anyway. My Dr was great and really understanding, so when I asked for a referral for an u/s he didnt hesitate to give me one. I'll have the u/s in 2/3 weeks (at around 8 weeks) and when I can summon up the courage to face it.
I started preparing myself for bad news in the waiting room today and that made me realise Im already attached to this pg, even though Ive tried not to be. Im just glad I got through today alright.
DG - being attached to this pg is good for your baby, for however long it is growing with you. And my fingers are crossed for 40 weeks. Heck, maybe even 41 I made the same choice as you on BTs, and I haven't regretted it. My Dr was so supportive of it, she has been amazing. So glad that you have a good one too.
We're staying home this Easter, very unlike us, we're adventurers at heart! But I've been so sick that I just wanted time to chill out. So DH is home all weekend, doing housework and looking after the baby (probably time to start calling her a toddler soon?) and I feel.... fine. Frustration... fear.... Man, I just wanna go back to spewing. Aaaargh! So conflicted!
DG - I'm so happy for you dark positive! And it's great that your doc is so supportive of not doing blood tests, they can definitely cause more stress that good sometimes. Your growing baby doesn't know or care if you know it's hcg levels
Audax - so has your morning sickness gone? I understand the conflicted feeling of not wanting to feel sick but wanting the reassurance that something's happening in there!
Happy Easter to all! Hi HPL, Maruschke, Loops, Mia and everyone I hope everything is going smoothly
I had my 8 week scan this morning and much to my shock, everything looks good!!!! Phew. I barely slept last night. Baby is 17mm so measuring 8 weeks 1 day. It is now one day ahead instead of 2 days behind Heart rate is 164. I will try my best to stop stressing about having barely any symptoms and not feeling pregnant. Last week I felt somewhat sensitive about what I felt like eating (no meat, nothing tomato-ey etc) but that's completely gone now and so have the sore boobs! Maybe I'm just lucky??
great new Mich8! Happy all went well, now we can both loook forward to the 12wk one!
AFM - have my first OB appointment on Tuesday, excited but not sure how it will go. I guess if I dont like him I can look for another one.
Feeling ok, at times feel a little sick but havent thrown up, then it goes away. All good though hopefully will go away in 3 weeks
I hope you are all having a fab easter break!
Mia- I'm seeing the ob on Wednesday! You'll have to let me know how Tuesday goes, I have no idea what a first ob appointment involves. I hope you like him. I already know the ob I'm seeing quite well because he's a gynae too and I saw him for fertility and he did my laparoscopy (before I got to difficult and he referred me on - ha ha)
I hope the Easter bunny brought you all yummy treats!
Fab news Mich! My ms comes and goes. I think it has peaked,which worries me because that's what happened with my first pg, whereas with DD it kept getting worse up to 13 weeks then tapered off really quickly.
DH told SIL today. I didnt want to, but there you go. I'll just have to tolerate her. Again.
Audax - Its hard not to worry when you've had a loss before. I can tell you that I had terrible, unrelenting m/s with my last pg (vomiting several times a day) right upto the day of my D&C at 12.5w (and boy was I bitter). They do say that every pg is different, so try to keep that in mind. Can you get a scan to put your mind at ease? I can also undertand why you didnt want to tell your SIL (hugs).
Hi Mrs S - wow it sounds like you're going to be VERY busy!! How far along are you now?
Mia - I hope your appointment went well today. Did you like the ob?
Audax - I completely understand the worry you describe as symptoms come and go. I have moments every single day when I think it's all over. When will this stop? Do you have your next scan booked?
Diamond Girl - are you surviving the LONG wait for your scan. Managing to distract yourself?
AFM - I'm having some sharp twinge like feelings. I hope it's normal!!
I had my first OB appointment this evening and he was good, nice and straight to the point. I didnt get much of a chance to ask too much (cos I had baby brain) but he has a midwife there before you go in to do your weight and bood pressure and to answer any questions possible which was good. She suggested sea sickness bands and ginger tabs for my nausea as I have been having it on and off all day for the last 4 days. I havent been throwing up but just feel nauseas like I'm going too and it lasts for about 2-3 hours then goes and comes back etc
I'm not complaining at all but I just wanted to know what I can do to help it a little.
The OB actually did another U/S in the office (over my tummy too not internal YAY!) and he measured the baby 2 days earlier then the other u/s tech so I'm 8wks 5 days which is still one day ahead of what I originally thought. All was good and his/her little heartbeat was going strong.
He gave me all the checks I need to organise, another b/t, and the 12 week scan plus I have to call the hospital to organise everything. A few things to do but all good.
Felt like I was in and out in 2 mins but the OB is a professor and know exactly what to do and say and gives you all the info basically in a breathe LOL
He was nice though. I see him again in 4 weeks.
Hope all of you are well

Hope everyone is doing well, so quiet in here!
I had bad morning sickness yesterday from about 1pm until I woke up this morning, for me I'm renaming it to afternoon sickness cos I'm fine in the morning its the early afternoon where this little one is actively making me sick LOL I have bought the sea sickness bands so have them on already and plan to take the ginger tabs at about 12 noon to see if that helps today! I dont feel like yesterday it was SO hard doing the commute home (2 hours) in the car feeling crap! Have the bucket next to me today incase though....
Hi all
Mia- sorry the 'afternoon' sickness has finally hit you! But glad your ob appt went well
When do you see him again? I saw my ob yesterday. Had another scan on a much better machine and all looked fine. He's very cautious though which I like! Considering my past m/cs, early bleeding and low progesterone this preg, he wants to check things again in 2 weeks. And he's keeping me on the huge dose of progesterone. Zero preg symptoms to report here. I guess if they haven't happened by now they probably won't?
