Subbing. Can call the GP at 5pm to get BT results from this morning. Been on edge all day.
How is everyone else?

Everything crossed for some great numbers again!!

Woke up at 4.30 am to a massive bleed and cramps, but once again it has all fizzled into nothing. U/S tomorrow at 1pm and I'm petrified. I swing from accepting its all over to still hoping all is ok.

TMS, that is so hard to deal with :hug: I hope that everything is all ok for you. The waiting is excruciating :(

I just called GP. He is not in today! I was supposed to call tomorrow anyway, but when the nurse said the results would be back by 5pm I thought I would call. Now have to wait till after work tomorrow, lucky it's an early shift should be home by 1pm.

Fingers crossed for 1pm tomorrow for both of us TMS. i will be thinking of you xx

Poo, can't the nurse give the results? I hate waiting....

Nuh, the doc even said don't mention it's for blood test results because they aren't allowed to give them over the phone.

Bugger!

I know, Oh well. What's another day, right? :lol:

Goodluck for 1pm tomorrow both of you xx

thats frustrating Tasha but I'm sure everything is ok
TMS- I'm fine thanks, sux that you are having this stress x
hi joeve and everyone else!

Hi Tasha and TMS... I hope Friday has some good news for you both. The limbo land is such a horrid place to be, sending you both courage to meet the day xx

Hope all will be ok for both of you.

I'm going well. Lots of braxton hicks ATM.

32 weeks tomoz :)

Blood pressure was still a bit high at my OB appt on tues but better than it was.

OB playing it by ear for my scheduled delivery. Hopefully around Xmas and not before due to BP problems. My fiancé is going away in a couple weeks until Xmas so hopefully everything stays stable.

Morning,

TMS I am going offline for a few days, just wanted to send some more thoughts your way for today. xxx

Tasha also thinking of you when you get the results today.


Have a wonderful weekend everyone xx

Hi ladies,
Hcg from yesterday was 15,534 yay :) am so relieved (for now) Scan on Thursday. I think symptoms are kicking in, yesterday was so bloody tired had to have a nap. Today i still feel tired and nauseous all day. My mouth has so much saliva it's gross :lol:

Thanks everyone for your well wishes!

TMS, any news yet? Praying for you xx

Tasha I am so excited for you x

Thanks joeve. How are you? I was thinking today, do you know what you are having?

Great numbers Tasha, very happy for you!

AFM - Not even a sack to see a heart beat, all over with, no hope... Sack must have broken down unlike my other m/c's which is why I didn't spot it.

Oh TMS, I am so sorry, huge :hug: That is so unfair :(

Sorry to hear tms. Hope to see you back in here soon.

TMS the biggest hugs I am so sorry xx

TMS :( :hug:

Joeve! You are catching me! You aren't far from 30 weeks now!

Rach lol you are funny! I am miles away from you still!! Ha ha

Lol. You are not xx

It's still going slow for me and I look at you and Saffy and it's flying for you two!!

I've only got another 6ish weeks really. Unless dr thinks I need to go in before then due to my bp. Can't wait :)

That is exciting! I have longer than that still to work ... See I am miles behind! Lol

Whatever:) it's just I'm skipping a couple weeks!
Don't worry, once baby is here time will fly like never before I promise!

Hi Girls

Just needing a bit of assurance today. I am 5wks 5 days today I think. I was really good about being in denial but slowly the doubts are creeping back in. I think because now I have booked our 7 weeks scan and it seems more real. Our last scan was very traumatic as we had a missed m/c. So I am both dreading and looking forward to the scan. This stage is so hard, and I know you all know how I feel. Plus we decided not to tell anyone and my mum guessed on Friday morning. On the phone. She rang me to ask how the baby stuff was going and before I had a chance to say anything she said "your pg arn't you???" I know, I can tell, a mother knows these things. I was so stunned I didn't say anything and she kept firing things at me and eventually I caved. WTF!!! How freaky. She doesn't even live here in my town. I said to her it was meant to be a xmas surprise :( So now I feel like I have jinxed us. Silly I know and I am really trying to shake it off. I have had not bleeding, but I didn't have any last time and sometimes I think its worse as you go on your merry way. Will keep my chin up. Thanks girls xxx

Firstly, you haven't jinxed anything, i constantly thought the same, with different things but look at me now.
Secondly, I completely understand where you are with the scan. I had never had a good early scan until this pregnancy ( and I'd had a few) so there is no way of feeling confident about it, youjust have to go and do it. Alternatively, I think it was Joeve who didn't even have one at 7 weeks? It depends if you want to know the good or the bad news at seven weeks or prefer to live in ignorant bliss for longer. I bet time is ticking by very slowly for you! Theres no reason to think you haven't got a sticky bub on board, but Iknow when you have a m/c before nothing reassures you. Crossing all my fingers for you for your scan, and will send positive vibes .
Your mum is a classic- mother's intuition hey! Shame she ruined the surprise, is she going to keep quiet?, my mum is a blabbermouth so I struggled in the early days.
Also, i don't know if you have symptoms or not but at your stage I didn't have any yet so don't stress about that.
keep going Vic, we are all egging you on!

Vic hugs the mind makes you think crazy things. One you have had a mc it's hard to not think that you will keep having them. Hugs and lots of love for a big fat strong heartbeat next week x
Saffy I had a scan at 7 weeks as I just needed to know that there was a heartbeat, I can't remember who opted out of that one but I can completely understand why someone would.

Thanks girls xxx

I knew you would understand. Like i said I was doing really well until my mum found out. I am sure it will be fine. I have sore boobs so thats good. I am tempted to have a bt just to check numbers.

Joeve the scan is two weeks today. Another stoopid TWW lol.

Oh i thought it was you joeve, sorry, but I'm sure someone put off a scan for ages, don't blame them really.
If only we could all go into a coma for the first 12 weeks and then wake up and announce our pregnancies.

afm-I've got a scan in 1 hour to check growth and fluid levels, starting to feel a bit nervous myself, in case they say- 'something is wrong, you have to go to hopital right now'- as if, i know! at least i get to see bub again, hopefully get more photos. then i am going ot Obs to have an appt to discuss birth plans. Will probaby get a date for ceasing clexane and i really think my baby is still breech so will have to see what she says about that!

hi everyone else :)

Good luck with your scan Saff. I am sure it will will be all fine. Hopefully bubs has turned. And good luck with getting off clexane :)

No not another tww Vic!! Lol our lives are programmed in 2 week blocks!
Saffy goodluck with the scan, I had another one 2 weeks ago. My ob is taking me off clexane at 34 weeks. I want so much to go off but I am terrified at the same time.

Hey girls,
Vic and saffy, hope all goes well for your scans.
Vic, I also had bad news at my last scan before I m/c, so this scan was terrifying :hug: Saffy, I'm sure everything will be fine, you have come this far and you will make it all the way to the end, no problems ;)
Joeve, thanks for your support lately, how are you?

I had a scan today and they saw a heartbeat!! It was tiny and she was a bit unsure, but then after more looking she confirmed it was a heartbeat. She said I had a very small hemorrhage in the sac and thats what was causing the bleeding. I am still spotting today, but it's only brown. Baby is measuring in at 6 weeks, I will book another scan for next week. This past 72 hours has been so traumatic. Off to update my other post :)

Congrats Tasha on seeing a heartbeat. Your lucky to see it just on 6 weeks. Your a couple of days ahead of me :)

Thanks Vic, at first we thought it was a blood vessel as she said they can sometimes look like a heartbeat. But after a few more minutes she confirmed it :)
Going by ovulation I guessed I was about 6w or maybe 6w1 or 2d. But my hcg seems to be on the high end for 6 weeks. Yesterday it was 42,000, so today it would be more. Bit confused :confused:

You should be able to get a better understanding next week. When its a little bit bigger, its hard to measure I guess :)

Hey girls, I haven't been on in forever!
There's been a lot going on IRL the last few months...the biggest thing mainly was my only grandfather passed away :( It's been pretty hard.
I've got so much to catch up on! But firstly CONGRATULATIONS Tasha & Vic!!!! I'm so excited for you! :leap:
And yay for mich on her earth side bubba girl :)

Hi to Saffy, Joeve and Mia, hope you beautiful ladies are going well!

Sorry to anyone I've missed, I promise I'll do a proper post when I read through :)

Afm- I'm 31 and a bit weeks! I can't believe it! I think I've bleed more this pregnancy than I would've if I was just getting my normal AF :o I'm still having bleeds occasionally but not as often as I was. I'm having a Girl (as if you can't tell from my bright pink ticker lol) and I'm thrilled as this is definitely our last baby.
The whole journey is too heartbreaking and painful to contemplate ever doing again and I have only ever wanted 3 children. So I've put in a request to have my tubes tied...which based on age I'm expecting it to be knocked back. So DH is getting the snip otherwise.
Other than that i'm feeling pretty good, no fluid retention or anything. I'm just getting excited about meeting my gorgeous bubba!!!!
Lots of love and sticky dust to everyone xxc
