hannah its great to see you in here!!!! I remember you from the other thread as we lost our angels around the same time! your levels sound great to me. My HCG at 11dpo was on 43 so yours are heaps higher!!! maybe your doc could do another couple of BT's before your sacn as that is what got me through the waiting till my 7 weeks scan. I had no symptoms at 5 weeks either except for being tired. The MS kicked in at 6 weeks for me. We all understand your anxiety and are here for you hun. xox
Congrats Hannah I know what you mean about the u/s my clinic said they can't see anyting sooner which doesn't help you wait but I guess it's best to wait for the Heart Beat to be clear.
good stuff Lee glad you got a scary one out of the way
ATM tired and really need more sleep than I'm getting dam IVF treatments grrr. Work good, family good and I'm just dying to tell the world but waiting for U/S monday to tell family then 13 weeks for the rest of the world but it's hard hiding my happiness.
Lee Yay! Glad you had a good scan and that bubba was bouncing around in there.
Erybery Yay for the extra scan! Can you feel bubs move now?
Hannah Congratulations!! Your HCG numbers sound great! You thought you were done with the tww? And here's a tww of a different kind! It's tough waiting. Got my for you.
Greenslw It's a good problem to have hey? Trying to hide the happiness? Really happy for you too
AFM I had 4 heavy nose bleeds on Wed?! I spent so long in the ladies during the first 2 bleeds that I thought I'd better go home. Then I had another nose bleed on the bus on the way home, while wearing a cream jacket and then another one at home in the afternoon. It's so weird, cos I haven't had a nose bleed for years, and now 4 heavy ones in one day. I suppose I am on aspirin and the pollution was really bad here on Wed thanks to a tube strike (everyone drove instead). The whole time though, I was just so grateful that the blood was coming from my nose and not elsewhere.
Hannah - Congrats on the BFP! Wishing you all the best - I had no symptoms at your stage either so please, try not to stress.
pash - I have had nose bleeds on and off since about your stage too, my ob told me its quite normal for pregnancy. I am getting them quite often now and I got them with DD as well.
Cherished - again
Hi everyone else, hope you have a lovely weekend!
AFM, sorry for limited persies but have been a bit under the weather lately. I have been getting quite dizzy and that along with bad sinus at night, very little sleep and a 5 year old to look after - well you get the picture. Seeing my ob on Monday though, so we'll see what he has to say about the dizziness, I'm pretty sure its related to my sinus problems. Sorry to have a moan Just feeling a bit like I'm really ready to meet this baby.
Hanah - huge congratulations to you!! The waiting in early pg is horrible after a m/c. Jus try and keep yourself busy and hopefully you will see a little HB very soon
Greenslw - wishing you all the best for tomorrow's scan. You can rejoice in being even happier still!
Pash - eewwww nose bleed - bit messy eh? My DS gets them a lot and always at night on nice clean sheets! As megsmum has said, it i common in pg particularly if you have a tendancy anyway. My first sign of pg is always some nasal congestion/bleeding
Megsmum - sorry you are feeling so unwell. I can understand how tired you must be. Hopefully the OB has some helpful solutions for you
WTH - just saying hi! Hope you are travelling ok and getting fatter as we speak
AFM - still plodding along. Pain is on and off but coping ok at present. Feeling very heavy for this stage of pg and little energy. Dread to think how I will be if this baby hangs out until term!
Pash - I think im feeling bubs move, but still nothing I could say, Oh thats the baby moving! hopefully it will get stronger in the next few weeks! Hope the nose bleeds stop.
Greenslw - Thinking of you at your scan tomorrow!!
hi ladies Yesterday morning I got my BFP! Finally 5 weeks today and have known for some time that it was coming, just wanted to get past today as it's when I MC a couple months ago. Haven't put up a ticker yet... waiting to get BT done by doc. Ringing tomorrow morning to make an appointment. woohoo!
Hey, question... how long til I stop peeing every 5 minutes? I have no recollection of this being a problem last two times...!!!! it's totally driving me NUTS!
Congrats Smallfry
For me it's only just started really interupting my day and night.
ATM I have caught something gastro I think. I was so happy to see DP home from his trip then after tea my belly bloated to a balloon and i was sicker than I've ever been, thought it was MS but after spending the rest of the night on the loo it's not.... I just want to sleep. Dam clients, I poped into work, made sure I washed my hands but obviously it slipped through. Hope there's not a bad effect of pg.
Greenslw - Hope you are feeling better soon, make sure you keep your fluids up and if it hangs around see your doc.
Smallfry- I was running to the loo every 5 mins at the beginning aswell. It got better gradually, probably by about 12 weeks, then I had a good few weeks where I was normal and now Im back to the loo every 5 mins as bubs is kicking on my bladder!
erybery, thanks for the light at the end of the tunel Of course you expect to be like this when you get bigger but... I do remember reading a reason for early pg peeing - some hormone triggers it but I can't remember which one.
greenslw, doesn't sound pleasant. Rest up and maybe try some electrolyte drinks to help keep you hydrated. I find sometimes water doesn't help enough because it doesn't have anything for your stomach to digest if that makes sense?!
Smallfryplus, I thought water was the best thing but after talking to my clinic this morning I'm drinking purple sports drink. Icky but it's sitting better and minties they are really really helping. Things have settled but I don't want to eat.
Thanks erybery, I think being pg you panic loads more, I thought I had a fever, panic, I'm not eating panic, but after calming down, it's all back to normal (in my mind at least)
Well some good news...... I'm 8.1 weeks pregnant little bubba is one week more than I thought. 1.65cm and heart beating madly. I love my u/s photo's such a special moment. So that means count down to no more IVF drugs..... Finish on the 13/7 but I said the 14th sounds better. Brother and sister inlaw + nephews go home to Canada on the 13th don't need to worry about anything else.
greenslw, that's fabulous! 1 week further along!!! Glad you've got sports drinks now. They'll help a lot more. When I start getting dizzy from drinking too much water (even not preg!) I have to resort to sports drinks and elecrolyte drinks.
Greenslw - Congrats on the scan result Definitely go the sports drink if you have been sick or Gastrolye powder is good too, you want to replace not just the water but also the electrolytes you've lost. WTH has had gastro not so long ago, hopefully she will also pop in with some hints for you. I hope you feel a bit better soon. BTW, I found the sports drinks to be good when I had M/S, settled my tummy a little.
Smallfry - Congrats on your BFP and good luck for your BT. I didn't have it so much this time, but with DD I was making endless loo trips to pee Its quite normal and should go in several weeks time.
Meredith - So glad to hear you are plodding along, at least that means you aren't having any dramas! I know how you feel about the heavy and no energy unfortunately, its exactly how I feel now
Hi everyone else, hope you are all doing well
AFM, had my 32 wk ob appt today and all is looking great! I have found out the reason for my dizziness, which is the only problem I really have ATM, and it is low blood pressure - 95/55 for those in the know pretty low according to my ob. So at least I have an answer and our bub is in no danger, it just means that I will have to take it easy for the next couple of months.
Greenslw - wow, I'd love to be a week ahead than I thought!!!! Glad your scan went well and you have special pics to cherish and obsess over!
Megsmum - what is blood pressure supposed to be when you are pregnant? mines always between 120-130/90. Is that normal? The midwife and ob never mention anything about it, its just written on my card.
Meredith - do you think you'll be having the baby early?
Megsmum sorry you feel so run down. Glad you got an answer from your ob, and that it means you have even more of a reason for taking things easy. But wow! Not long till you will get to meet your bubba!
Meredith Glad you're still plodding along. Gee, from the first contraction to the last, you're going to have had the longest labour ever. Glad to hear that Upsy's going strong, and sounds like he's growing well too.
Smallfryplus Yay! Congratulations! Wishing you a smooth and boring pregnancy lol and that the constant peeing is the only excitement.
Greenslw so wonderful that bubba is growing well and strong! Hope you're feeling better after that nasty gastro.
AFM I told people at work today, and my manager announced it to the team and ppl clapped,etc. After spending so long hiding it, and still wanting monkey to be our precious secret, it was weird to have it announced. Really exposing, but good, like ripping a bandaid off fast.
On the weekend, DH agreed to come try out some slings with me, which I was very excited about. That is the only baby thing that I've been able to bring myself to thing about buying. I was really surprised that DH wanted to look through all the baby stuff, cos he's been really reluctant to just go look at slings. I still don't really feel ready to go out and plan a nursery or even anything small like buy a pair of socks.
I'm trying really hard to be more relaxed about things but am so afraid of things going wrong again. Really really looking forward to being able to feel bubba move.
Hannah. Congratulations on your
. Wishing you a H&H 9 months ahead!

and I got them with DD as well.

Yesterday morning I got my BFP! Finally
I just want to sleep. Dam clients, I poped into work, made sure I washed my hands but obviously it slipped through. Hope there's not a bad effect of pg.
pretty low according to my ob. So at least I have an answer and our bub is in no danger, it just means that I will have to take it easy for the next couple of months.
