Due in December 2015- Jan/Feb 2016

Seabee- I hope the spotting was from the YI and all is well with you and your little bean!

Dana- looking forward to updates! I hope all is well with your health and your betas HcG levels will be nice and high!

Sunbuny- I'm so excited for you to be able to find out what your having soon!!! Eek! Thanks for asking! I'm doing FAB! Heartburn is gone now that I'm taking the Zantac twice a day now. My blood pressure is normal after stopping the Diclegis. For MS I'm taking Zyrtec at night and B6 twice a day. The Unisom (Doxalamine Succinate) made my BP high. It is an anticholinergic antihistamine (it dilates your vessels which can increase your pressure), which is different than a plain antihistamine like Zyrtec, Benadryl, etc. I felt so good I worked out to my beloved T25! I love ShaunT!!

I hope everyone else is doing well!

Dana how very scary! I hope you get good news.

XX that is interesting about unisom- I wonder if that's why I had higher BP today. I thought it was nerves.

So I had my first appointment and ultrasound today. All looks good, only one baby (phew!) and measuring right on time. I did ask the tech about Ramzi, and she had never heard of it before. So I explained about the chorionic villi and left/right, and she said, as she looked at the screen, that she had no idea how anyone would be able to tell where the attachment was! I asked about color flow, and she said she won't use a Doppler so early in the pregnancy. So once again, my tech experience was less than ideal lol. From the picture it looks left to me, but on the screen it was opposite, and I didn't get a chance to ask her which was left before she shut me down. So oh well- I'll have to wait to do the DNA testing :)Attachment 25159

Didn't get my blood work today. . I will be in the am. But my Dr said when she checked my cervix there was no bleeding anymore which is great. But no sex for DH until little bean sticks (he's not going to be happy when he gets home from training). That's all I got from today though.

That's good news seabeewife.
Well my feeling yucky and sick came back yesterday. Don't know if it's a placebo but I wore the travel sickness bands overnight and I don't feel to bad this morning.doctors appointment Thursday. I really want them to give me a reassurance scan but I bet they wont

Today would have been my angel baby's due date.
To remember is painful - To forget is impossible x

Sorry Eleena.. I think it's beautiful that you keep the angel in your heart and thoughts and be open with people around you ( if you're comfortable doing that) so they too know it's a life never forgotten. My thoughts are with you and others in your situation xx

My heart aches for anyone who has gone through a miscarriage. I don't know how you could forget. May God, Universe, whatever you may believe, bring you comfort and take care of your baby until you can meet him/her.

Big hugs Eleena! The due dates of my two losses were very difficult days for me. Be kind to yourself today!

So sorry for your loss Eleena. I can't imagine how it feels to lose a pregnancy. Take care of yourself today ♡

I am so sorry for your loss eleena. I have been there a few times. Pamper yourself today. :)

So sorry Eleena. :(

Well, the bleeding is still going on. No idea why. It was at its heaviest yet and most of the day yesterday. Woke up with no nausea today. :( Not sure what to think. If the the nausea doesn't return by the weekend then I'll call Monday and go in.

How is everyone else?

Oh no 5babies! I hope and pray everything is ok. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Maybe going in will help. I hope they do an US for you.

Eleena, I'm sorry this is a sad day for you. I hope you are allowing yourself this time to grieve :heart:

Seabee, did you have blood drawn today?

Fivebabies, I know how stressful bleeding can be and I know I would be very anxious. I'll keep praying that it stops or your nausea comes back (who would imagine wishing that on someone!?!). When will you have the results of your bloodwork? I just made my appt to have blood drawn for it in a couple more weeks.

Now that we've seen our baby's heart beating I know it's supposed to be rare that anything should happen, but I have too many message boards with sad stories to feel like it's a remote possibility. I just keep praying that we all get to hold our babies in 9 months.

Oh no 5babies.. I hope you're just one of those mommas that have bleeding in the 1st trimester :( I was on an emotional roller coaster with the spotting I was having, so I can only imagine.

Temerity I did have my blood drawn yesterday. They said the results would be sent to my Dr, so I'm sure she'll call if there are any problems. My spotting has stopped, so I feel much better now. I'm thinking I just had 11 days of implantation spotting. I have an ultrasound tomorrow as well, to make sure everything looks okay.

Eleena-so sorry for your loss. Your in my thoughts today

5babies-everything crossed for you that everything is ok. So nerve wrecking!
Seebee-hope everything is ok too!!

Gosh ladies, I wonder if it's a full moon or something. I'm having an extremely depressing day. Plus, all these bleeding scares, etc. let's help each other get through this

I was a basket case when I had my on and off again spotting with my sub chorionic bleed when the baby implanted.

Hang in there ladies! I just blew up at my mom for letting DS2 water flowers outside with his small watering can in his canvas shoes. I feel bad for yelling at her, especially in front of my boys, but what was she thinking?! They are canvas shoes that will get wet!! Ugh, hormones. Definitely not one of my finer moments.

I feel the baby move whenever I eat or at bedtime and that brings me peace of mind. I hope that you ladies soon get reassurance. It is so hard in early pregnancy, and I hope and pray we all get to hold our cute little bundles of joy in 9 months!

No little bundle of joy for me in 9 months. Blood test came back with very low hcg levels, too low for a viable pregnancy. Need to go back to gp next week and repeat the test, because she thinks the baby implanted later and as long as I don't have AF there is a chance. But in my heart I know it's over. Baby just didn't implant right. I was sad yesterday, but am okay now. We have a good plan to start swaying and tcc hopefully in december. Wishing you girls a happy and healthy pregnancy and will check up on you all! xx

I'm so sorry Dana..


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dana I'm SO sorry. My heart hurts for you :(

I'm so, so sorry Dana. Best wishes for your rainbow in December.

I'm so sorry Dana! I hope you get your rainbow baby soon!

I've got awful heartburn. . I never had it with my boys. And I feel like I'm sick with the flu. Is it the 2nd trimester yet?

Haha! I've been there too and it sucks! Taking Zantac twice a day is the only thing that helps mine. Tums doesn't touch it or anything else I tried for that matter.

Hope you feel better soon!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Dr told me tums actually makes it worse. I'm going to start taking Zantac if it keeps up.

That explains why I was so bad then!!

Wen to see the doctor today. She won't let me have a early reassurance scan so we are going to pay to have a private one at 9 weeks. At least that will be past the 8 weeks mark I know any sooner would be pointless for me. I'm so worried still. I just don't feel pregnant. My boobs are still hurting and get the odd bout of nausea but that's about it. Didn't ask for hcg levels to be took to tell you the truth I forgot all about it as I was upset that she wouldn't give me early scan

Oh Eleena that is so frustrating! I'm sorry your doctor isn't being more accommodating.

XX and Sea- I get bad heartburn as well and I hate taking tums.

Has anyone else been pregnant with not much symptoms? I am only 6 weeks though.

I didn't get any nausea until 9 weeks with DS1. Then I threw up multiple times a day for the following 2 weeks!!! Until then, I just had sore boobs and I was thirsty all the time.

Just had my US done.. she says I ovulated from my left side. She dated me 4 days behind.. which makes me nervous due to the fact I got an early hpt at 9 dpo. Has this happened to anyone? The tech made me nervous by asking if I was seeing my Dr right away too.

Eleena you should have done what I do...lie! Tell them you have messed up cycles and have zero clues about when you conceived...then youd get a dating scan! I am a terrible person...haha!!

Sea, 4 days is not that far off, these early dating scans can be very different with just the smallest change in measurement, and that measurement relies on a cooperative uterus and skilled technician. What one person measures as 4 days off might be only 1 day off with another person holding the wand.

Eleena, I didn't have nausea until after 6 weeks, and then it was very mild and just progressively got worse over the last week.

Seabee- I wouldn't worry about 4 days. My baby was measuring a week ahead at my scan at 5 week 6 days. There is NO way I ovulated a full week before! Babies develop at different rates.

Thanks for easing my mind. The spotting put me in a worried state with this pregnancy. I just can't wait to see/hear a heartbeat :)

Hi everyone.. I thought I should come over to this group but I'm still a bit nervous about it as I will only be 4wks tomorrow. So far everything has been going fine but its always hard not to worry!

I have an appointment booked with my Dr already as I was supposed to be going back to get my day 3 blood and ultrasound results to see if there was any reason for my long cycles and mid-cycle spotting. I was also hoping to get a referral to a specialist but looks like I didn't need that! Instead I will see if I can get a referral for a pregnancy ultrasound, I think I would feel better once I have a 7wk scan and see a heartbeat.

Is anyone getting a prenatal blood test? I looked at the Harmony one and even though the price has gone down it is still a lot of money so I'm not sure I can justify it. Although I don't want to tell anyone I'm pregnant until I know the gender so it might be difficult to keep it secret long enough to find out from a scan.

Welcome Purple! I know what you mean wanting to see a heartbeat! At my dating scan, I was 5 weeks 6 days, we saw the heartbeat 137 BPM!! It was a big relief! Then at my routine appointment when I was 8 weeks 5 days, my OB brought in his portable US machine and baby looked like a baby and was doing great! I can't wait to hear about your upcoming appointment. Hang in there though!!

DH wants to do the MaterniT21, since it is offered at a cheaper rate at my hospital. If insurance doesn't pick up the cost, it will be $200. I just can't justify the cost though, since we only did the two scans, NT and anatomy, with both boys. I go back and forth. My NT scan will be at 13 weeks 5 days so we should have a good idea of gender. We will see!!

It's $430 here for the Harmony test and none if it is covered by medicare or insurance (not that we have private health anyway). I found a place that does gender scans at 16wks for $99 or if I wait until 20-21wks the morph scan is free. I already know I can't wait that long! I'm not sure I want an NT scan as I will obsess over the nub and last time I was told it looked girly so I just got my hopes up.

Mine have NEVER looked girly so I will fall out if I see anything flat and parallel!

The biggest difference with this pregnancy and my pregnancies with my boys is my lack of a raging appetite. Even with MS I was still hungry with them. I can maintain a 12 hour fast easily between dinner and breakfast still at 11 weeks! We will see though. This baby is loved either way!

Are you in Australia Purple? I had the Genea test done on Monday and the results are already back EXCEPT my Dr was not in his office so we'll have to wait till Monday before we find out. It cost $435, no cover from Medicare or private health insurance. Last pregnancy though I paid over $300 for the NT scan which didn't tell me gender. I'm happy to shell out the money for peace of mind regarding health and will be great to find out gender early too.

Dana-so sorry

Purple-welcome! fX for a happy and healthy 9 months

AFM-told my OB yesterday(who I work for) she was 100% skeptical of all the swaying and the last I "talked" to her we we were going high tech. So, we drew all the major bloodwork but will wait on appointment until I'm released from the RE. Next ultrasound us Tuesday and will be 8w1d. Spoke with our rep for Verifi. She said I can have it drawn at 10 weeks and will take 7 business days. Shouldn't have to pay more then $25. Really excited as we will find out right before disney.
