Satya - Your weekend sounds amazing! Whales & dolphins! Wow! Its great that you have EWCM, so something is working for you. Also great that your new doc has a plan for you. I think, while being a bit scary, it would also be comforting? Let us know how you go with the lap. Do you have to have general for it? And 6 months paid maternity leave? Sounds fantastic. Who wouldn't be day dreaming about that? Lisa - That does sound scary, but its good that your spotting stopped. It can't have been AF. Good luck for the BT. Lee - My GP in Sydney did BTs for loads of stuff for my first PG. I thought it was important to check for Rubella & other stuff as well. But then both times, the GPs here didn't do anything. Not even a HPT. Personally, I'd prefer if they tested for everything & then you can feel good about having a good iron count, etc. Maybe you could see another GP on the sly and get some BTs done, if that would make you feel better. BTW, I think it is soooo romantic that you got that honeymoon bub! I think it will all work out beautifully for you. TimNik - You're at the best part of they cycle! Enjoy, and we'll understand if your posts are short & infrequent right now Salt - You're almost half way through your wait! Got my fingers crossed for you. Claireabel - Its fantasic news that you saw your bub's heartbeat. You must be very relieved? Sandie - Congratulations! That is fantastic! I don't think it could be leftover HCG, if you've already had negative HPTs. I think its a real BFP! I hope your BT results confirm it. Bun - I think only 50% of ppl get m/s at all. I've never had it, and neither had my mum or auntie. Besides, you actually have the best of both worlds: reassurance that you have m/s, without actually throwing up all those good nutrients the baby needs. I understand about your anxiety though and I think I am pretty close to it. I am too afraid to leave this forum too. Have to just beg the other ladies to be patient with us. MegsMum - Its horrible finding out that your body isn't doing something very well. But you're better off knowing about it now, than spend months ttc then find out afterwards. Maybe if you look at it that way, waiting a cycle won't seem that long (*arrrgh* who am I trying to kid, waiting a cycle is torture). Its good news that your recurrent miscarriage & other tests were ok. Cherie - Good time in the cycle for you too! Good luck with the BD! Diane - I'm sorry you got a BFN. How frustrating! But until AF arrives, you may still have a chance (late ovulation maybe?) Rachael - How are you going? What stage are you at now?
Ladies, I'm sorry for still posting here, but I feel like I still need your support. I hope it doesn't annoy you too much when I whinge about my probs.
OK, I don't know what to think after my scan. There were 2 embryos (great news, except that this is riskier and chances of both surviving are lower), but no heartbeats and they were also a 5 week size instead of 6w4d. I have to wait for another scan in 2 weeks.
So I could have gotten my O date wrong by a week. So bubba & bubbe are only 5wks old, and that's why there is no heartbeat.
Or, I am still cramping & spotted once more. So I will m/c before the next scan or they will find no heartbeats at the next scan. The nurse did keep telling me to go straight to Accident & Emergency if I start bleeding, so I think she doesn't hold much hope.
Also got told that my work is finishing up at the end of July, at which point I'll have to look for more work or be unemployed
I'm in a very weird excited-scared-happy-worried-morbid limbo at the moment. I have no idea what's going on.
pash - wow! 2 embies!!! How exciting is that? It must be sooo stressful having to wait for another 2 weeks for another scan. Are you still having any spotting or cramping? Are they going to do any HCG draws, or just wait for the scan? This is such a stressful time. I am sure the ladies don't mind you hanging around and posting here still. I am the same - I need the support of these ladies and feel like I know everyone so well. Good luck sweetie and try not to stress, although I know that is pretty hard, as I am not able to take my own advice!
satya - I leave for my holiday three weeks from today, so too early for any airline to have an issue with me flying, It should be perfectly safe and I did check with my FS before booking and he said to go for it. It is just adding another dimension of stress because I am so scared that another m/c will, in addition to devastating me, ruin our holiday too.
megsmum - as scary as it is to be put on medication, your chances are really good. I have a read a lot of research that has said prog support after O does not increase the chances of a pg sticking, so clomid seems to be the better way to increase your prog in the latter part of your cycle, and thus improve your chances of a sticky bub. My prog was 150 on clomid! I hope this does the trick for you.
Hi to everyone else. I am feeling really really sick today. I did yet another HPT last night and the second line came up before the test line! It was there in less than a second. Hopefully that means all is well. I am still going to refuse the BT tomorrow, and just wait for the scan which should be at around 7 weeks. I couldn't even sleep last night, the nausea was so bad, and it woke me up this morning. I don't remember it being this bad with my other pgs, so am hoping it is a sign of a sticky bub. I received the OB info in the mail last night which makes it all seem so official and scary, some of the info is about labour, and there is no way I can even picture getting that far! The idea that I could have a baby is the last thing on my mind! Just surviving today is as far as I can think. Anyway, I am really hoping all goes well. I had to go to a fundraising thing last night and I was soooo tired and nauseous, plus then had to drive all the drunks home - lucky me.
