Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[Niva]

Dreamofpink, that is one cute bundle in there!! Very glad your scan went well -- knew it would.

Cagirl, YAYyyyyyy! Congrats at getting another chance so soon after last time!! I understand your hesitation to believe it yet, and I'm crossing my fingers that you'll soon be reassured of the stickiness.

AF is due tomorrow for me. After all my body went through over the last few days, a bfp would be some pretty bad news, so for once I'm happy to see the usual pre-spotting. Another 16-19 days and we can try again... I am SO ready for the real deal!

Ladybugs, great news about the scan.

Niva, I think you'll have a really great sway going next cycle, so fingers crossed next cycle will be the one for you.

7 weeks today and beanie is now the size of a blueberry.

Well! I'm floored. Speechless. Pretty amazed and kind of scared too! Never in a million years did I expect this after a negative BLOOD test at 9dpo.

My intuition kept telling me the blood test was wrong, and I got through quite a few days before yielding and testing... So sad I missed seeing the fade-in! I should have asked DH to bring me my own test sticks while I was in the hospital, because I would have known in an instant that it was a bfp had my "evap" line been darker. Last month the line was obvious on this same batch of ICs one day before a blood test measured 11hgc! Apparently, qualitative blood tests have too high a cutoff (their definition of "clinically pregnant" is probably over 25mIU/ml) to be of any use so early on.

I've been googling nonstop all the risks that my bout of appendicitis put my 10-day old embryo through. The consensus online is that the risk is minimal, but I'm still going to call the hospital to get a list of every single drug -- and most importantly the CT scan's radiation dose -- and ask my doctor about them.

Two awesome bfps....Niva and Cagirl, I pray that you are both preggo with sticky pink beans!! Love both of the testing!!!!

I went for a prenatal today, no heartbeat on doppler, will be going June 14th to listen again, feeling ok about everything, but I would have felt more at ease if the heartbeat would have been found.

[Niva]

Ladybugs, I do hope they find a big strong heartbeat at your next scan. Two weeks is a long time to wait for that! Glad your intuition says everything is okay.

Cagirl, we have been on such similar journeys! My edd, according to ff, would be February 7th. What's yours? Feb 5th is DS's bday... Oh well, one more thing they'll share! And if they end up sharing boyhood too, that'll be okay. I actually think my pink chances are not that great this cycle, but I'm fine with that, really!

Ladybugs, yes I hope that the time passes quickly before your next scan. I have heard that it can be difficult to locate the heartbeat with a doppler sometimes, and that a lot of being able to hear the heartbeat so early is dependent on baby's position. Definitely glad you have your intuition to stave off any anxiety. Funny that you mention the intution too because I already have a much better feeling about this pregnancy than I did the last one. I hope my gut is right!

[I Love Ladybugs]

I have to feel that all is ok.....this baby is not allowed to be so sneaky next visit! I think that s/he is hiding low, and that intution is to be listened to! Cagirl, I am glad that you feel so positive about this pregnancy!!

[GeCon]

Cagirl, great news on the tests. And I think the Digi being positive already is awesome.

Niva, wow! I have to admit I had this feeling for you this cycle and there it is as clear as can be. Try not to worry abou the risks, because this little baby was obviously meant to be. Of course it s good though that you are checking with the doctor and hospital though.

Cagirl and Niva, I really, really hope that these little beans are sticky for you both and I can add you to the 1st post shortly. and

Ladybugs, I am sorry that you didn't hear a heartbeat on the doppler, but also immediately thought wee ladybug is probably hiding and snuggled up nicely in there.

Congratulations Niva. Praying for you and cagirl that your beans stay sticky sticky xx
