me4ever i just wanted to pop over and day congratulations and send you :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
i hope i can join this thread in a few months too x
Congratulations me4ever
Hey everyone else
I have my drs app this morning to confirm pregnancy and get referral. He doesn't normally do blood test last time I don't even think he gave me a pregnancy test :)
I am only early. 3 weeks something and when I did the test it came up two lines before it even finished ... Did another one and the same thing. Plus I have bloated belly (happened all the other time) heart burn already and I even feel sick. I know ppl experience things differently. Do you think it's a good sign then and maybe I have high hormone level?
Sounds like a very positive sign Mel, who know maybe you ovulated/implanted early this time :)
Thanks kbudgie! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that you'll be with us soon! xxx
Mel - sounds all good! I had heartburn at 3 weeks exactly, 2 days after embryo transfer. Then again last week at 4 weeks 1 day. I never had heartburn before, not even last pregnancy and that finished prematurely, so am certain this is a very positive sign!! Have you got it non stop? I read somewhere it could be due to the progesterone level going up.
Me4ever - I am feeling good. I have my 20 week scan tomorrow and it will be a relief to see Boo again. Its been 6 weeks since our last scan and I have heard the hb at 17 weeks. I am so happy that your pg again. I remember reading your loss a month before mine. Dont worry, time will fly. The first trimester is the longest I think. Although you do have a dating scan at 7 weeks to look forward to :)
I think I hung out in this thread until I was 9 weeks. I was too scared to jump right into another BB group.
CONGRATULATIONS me4ever- sticky vibes for you xx
I was thinking that Cheshire
Me4eva i suffer from severe heart burn during me pregnancies were i vomit in my sleep.... It's terrible and so painful... I have had it a few time so far
I had my drs appointment and nearly had a heart attack when nothing came up on the test.... But it just took its time :) he has given me a form for a dating scan for around six weeks... Will you see heart beat and fetel pole by then?
Melster, if dates are correct (which is most likely with your early BFP) then you will most likely see a HB. Mine have all had a HB in week 5 but slow as so early. ds2 was 119BPM at 5w4d I think it was. Good luck :)
You should see one but not everyone does. Some take a little longer to start :)
me4ever - congratulations! hope those pessaries kick in and you get a more reassuring progesterone level for you next BT. :)
melster - congratulations also! i have read that more symptoms mean higher hormone level, but i had a high hormone level for my BT's and had no symptoms whatsoever - so i think you are right, its different for everyone. sounds like you are a person that gets symptoms straight away, which i would find very reassuring. at my dating scan (around 6 weeks & 4 days) i saw a fetal pole and heart rate was 119. i was worried it was a bit low, but assured it was fine. i was told they only worry if it is lower than 90bpm at that stage. at 9 weeks heart rate was in the 150's, then at 12 weeks it was 172. all the best. :)
I havent posted in here before, but I wanted to thank you for posting this info! I had my dating scan on Wed and was dated at 6w4d with a heartrate of 119/120 and was stressing because it seemed a little low. Feeling SO much better now though.:
glad its given you some reassurance, im sure you (like i did) googled and expected a heart rate of around 140...! all the best. :)
I just remembered when pregnant with DS that they told me that anything above 120 was good.
Thanks everyone
I'm just so nervous about those scans... Hopefully everything will be ok....
How are you girls going? Have any more positive symptoms arrived?
Had a bit of an off day yesterday. Besides feeling very tired and being a bit emotional, I don't have any other symptoms and am so worried that the embryo has stopped developing... I hate this not being able to check somehow every day to know that it's still going. Even though I only have to wait till Wednesday for another blood test it seems like forever. I'm working a couple of hours today, so at least I won't have the time to worry about this pregnancy and will be distracted. My DH is very optimistic this time, I want to be optimistic, but am afraid I'll just be more devastated if something went wrong. Okay whinge over, now onto work. xx
*sorry double post, somehow...*
I have always wished since my first m/c that I could have my own ultrasound machine. I spotted the hb with this bub before my OB did lol. Also could be that I was more desperate to see it than him though :p
Me4ever.... I am the same... I had a headache this morning but then when I don't feel much I question it..Even though I was hormonal this morning :).. My mind goes crazy.. Then each scan I feel relieved for about a couple hrs... Then back to the thoughts.... It's really hard when you have had any amount of losses and how you handle them. I grieved for quiet a while. And even though this is an unplanned baby my minds gone into over drive. Wish I had some advise :) I'm
Probably in the same boat. I have a scan on the 7th march and I'm so nervous and upset...... Maybe if we all just pray for each other.
I'm starting to freak out about my lack of symptoms which i know is stupid as i'm not even 6wks yet but but i still can't help it.
3kws till i have an ultrasound but it feels like forever away
I feel somewhat lucky my next scan is only 3 sleeps away. Same time though I am absolutely scared out of my brain that I'll find out in just 3 sleeps whether or not I've miscarried.
I haven't even booked a dating scan yet, don't know if my clinic will organise one for me, or if I have to do this myself?! Also wondering if I need to make an appointment with obstetrician yet, as last time he wanted to see me at 8 weeks. (5 weeks 1 day now) I guess I'll wait for my blood test on Wednesday to know if it's all progressing as it should.
Yeah, Damprye, our own ultrasound would be good, although it's still a bit too early for my bub to be seen, I think. I wish we had a little window in our bellies so we can follow the progress :) Even if we have to use a magnifier at the moment ;)
Hugs for you ladies! It's so hard isn't it. I'm definitely keeping my fingers, knees and toes crossed all our bubbies will make it full term. xxx
Sorry double post
Cheshire .. I think everyone is different. It's so hard to know if it's normal or not... I think some ppl just get more symptoms than others....hopefully everything is fine
Wow damprye 3 days... I will hope and pray everything is ok and bubs is snuggled in there
Me4ever.... I think it depends whether private or public..... My ob normally sees us at 9 weeks for a dating scan... Although my dr this time told me to wait two weeks since in real early and then call him and go in for a dating scan at 6 weeks....
I'm nervous about having a scan that early but I have heard that you can see fetel pole and a flicker it just depends on dates... Thr only thing is if it is early I will completely freak out till the confirmation scan
My ob takes over once pregnancy is confirmed. The wait is long though. I called at six weeks and was booked to have my first appt at 11weeks. The scans the Ob will refer you for or you can just ask your gp. You book them though. My ob also has an u/s machine in his room ;)
My bub is an IVF bub and last time when I had slowly rising HCG , which ended in a miscarriage I had 4 ultrasounds scheduled by my fertility clinic before being sent off to do the 8 week appointment at the obstetrician (I'm going private). Then had another scan in the ob's room and one more official ultrasound. I think I'll just wait and see what happens on Wednesday. Thanks for the info!
Do you girls do any more blood tests or pregnancy tests while you're waiting for dating scans? I was considering doing one on Wednesday before the blood test, just to give myself the heads up. At the same time I think it's a waste of money, seeing we'll find out what level the HCG and progesterone is that day anyway.
Morning. I never had bloods with my dr, when I had the missed mc I was at the ob so it was a shock.
I was dreaming last night that I had the scan and nothing was there. Thinking I'm slightly freaking out a little too much as its all I can focus on...and my hormones. Boy I think there going crazy. Is there anything you can do for it, I'll end up knocking someone out soon :)
Morning ladies
Im going to double post because im a little bit crazy at the moment ;)
I know this baby wasnt planned and it came as a shock, but now that i am pregnant i dont want anything to happen to the baby and im completely freaked out about miscarriage. I know i have had one healthy pregnancy after my miscarriage but it doesnt seem to matter. Im so completey freaked about about the scan i ended up calling my obs receptionist and talking to her. She is so lovely. She said that they could do the scan instead the day after the one i orginally planned through my Dr... she said if anything happened from now to then to ring and i could come in...even though i havent got the referral yet......and even though its now planned through them i am completely freaking out....i cant stop thinking about it and all my pregnany signs.....
I have good signs, sore boobs, harder nipples, slight heartburn, lower back aching, on off feeling slightly sick...my hormones are raging!!!!!! and even though there on and off im still worried.
I switched the crazy switch too...my god, i wanna lock myself in the toilet :shakehead: my hormones are so bad im loosing it and flying off the handle and i cant stop...
I hope i settle really soon!!!!!
Melster - I can totally relate to you. I had a mm/c in July last year at 9w+6. We had seen the hb at 7wk and HGC was really high so we thought all was good. I didn't "feel" pg enough so went to my GP and she said not to worry, but if I wanted I could have another scan. So off I went the next day and there was no longer a hb. It was the sadest day of my life.
But 3 months later I got another BFP and everything is going really well. It can happen. I am now 21 weeks. The first 12 weeks were really hard and we tried to not get too invested. DH and I barely talked about it and only told people after the 12 week scan. And even then it was only the immediate family. We started really telling people around 15 weeks.
I know it hard, but try not to stress. You still have another 8 weeks till your 12 weeks and you need to pace yourself :) Your signs look good. :hug:
I found this thread really helpful in the early stages.
Hugs Melster - it's hard isn't it... Don't forget it's still early days, you're HCG will still be rising and the symptoms might and might not get worse... Don't know how bad they were for you during the healthy pregnancy? Did you keep a diary? You might be able to look back to those?!
I'm trying to write down how I feel day to day, hormone wise and only mostly tired at the moment. I had the weirdest dream this morning, that I was in a hospital bed and they were checking out my bump to see if bubs was alright. And just as I was about to find out my husband's alarm went off... Argh... I'm planning on buying another pregnancy test to do tomorrow morning, before the next blood test, so I can be prepared. Am just a bit worried about the fact that there are hardly any symptoms yet, but then again, with mm/c I didn't really have many symptoms...
My husband told some of his mates at work and we have told his mum, as she has been following us closely on our journey. I'm a bit weary of telling anyone else yet, but did want to share, so I can talk about it with someone in real life. It's nice to have some support.
vic261, thanks......im so blessed to have two wonderful girls and safe pregnancies..although the one after the mc i had a few bleeds and a few issues. I was so nervous during that pregnancy and settled about 21 weeks LOL..although i got better after 12 weeks...;)
I have told a couple ppl about this one, and my mum...i just tell the ppl that i would tell if i had a mc anyways...
Me4Ever..thanks :D i think im just a TAD hormonal LOL..Dont you hate those dreams...i keep dreaming of the scan..
Im getting some back pain tho..its just constant aching, no pain in stomach or anything like my mc...im very foggy, very tired, very hormonal...getting hot and cold flushes, headaches etc...dont feel as bloated today
Sorry double post
Hi ladies can I pop in? I had my BFP and confirmed bt today 294.5 HCG 31 progesterone. DS I was 1700 HCG but the nurse said that is not average so happy with my numbers. The clinic doesn't do follow up bt but I managed to get one cos I need more scrips.
How did your bt go me4ever?
Melster I second the foggy feeling
Welcome Greenslw! Am so excited to see someone else move on from the 2WW to here! I'm having my 2nd blood test tomorrow... Will do another POAS just to be prepared, in case HCG has dropped. Fingers crossed it hasn't. I'm definitely exhausted. Having sore lower back, but I might have done to much lifting today at work and home. Had a 1.5 hour sleep this arvo, I so needed it. How are you feeling? 294 is great for a start HCG! Mine was only halve that. I had 29 progesterone and have to continue taking progesterone pessaries once a day.
Sorry me4ever I'm a day ahead of myself. I'm on PPP pills patches and pessaries. Lol but what ever works right. Good luck tomorrow
Greenslw.....welcome.....I hate the foggy feeling..i just cant concentrate or focus
How did you're test go me4ever????
Well me..i am the same...i am getting heaps of headaches...well those tension ones...lower back aches...and im still a hormonal nightmare...i kinda spat at the guy at work just then...WHOOPS....i think i am going to have to somehow control these emotions :) i keep thinking my symptoms are gone...but i think its just in my head.....10 days till my early scan......boy oh boy
I'm exhausted, i still have slight nausea, boobs are a little sore but that's it.
I keep telling myself i had very little morning sickness with DD1 & again i'm not even 6wks & most m/s doesn't kick in till 6wks.
21 sleeps till i see my Ob.
Welcome Greenslw
POAS - pregnant - said 2-3 weeks since conception, so supposedly 4-5 weeks pregnant. I'm supposed to be 5 weeks 4 days today according to IVF due date calculator... I hope the HCG level is alright... Fingers crossed... Had the worst night last night, not much sleep, loads of dreams and dreamt about doing a pregnancy test and getting another positive and telling some of our family...
Hope you girls feel alright, have a good day! xx
I did a test today as well.
No first morning pee & i made sure i drank a heap of water & it said pregnant 3weeks +.
I feel relieved & happy enough to wait the 21 sleeps now.
Me4ever, i'm sure everything is fine :)
Hi all, just a random drop in to say hi and hope all are traveling well.
Currently I'm 30 weeks, feeling good and still can't believe I'm at this point!
Best of luck to you all and tons of sticky vibes!!
