I have my appointment set for July 8th for paperwork and such and then the 15th is my first doctor visit..well midwife actually. We had moved this last year and I'm going to a new clinic...I hope I like it there.
Rosie I'm sure everything will be 100% this time around As you said you feel more pregnant this time. Try and relax and hopefully you'll start to enjoy your pregnancy soon
My ultrasound is 10th July Can't wait just to see if all is ok and to see if it's just one!!

I have been a bit awol so busy we're selling our house and trying to find a new one but can't find one we like! That and my accident I've not been around. Sorry if I've missed things I've not read through yet.
I have my 12 week scan in the morning!! Excited as it'll be public news after that which is hood as I am expanding! X
I'm still anxious about the pregnancy. I'm not far enough along to feel movements yet and I've had 7 miscarriages due to a blood clotting disorder. Hopefully I'll feel better after my appointment on Friday.
Hi ladies, same here.. Just bought a house last week but it's not closing til mid August and in my 10th week, still feeling kind of queasy with little energy and sleepiness throughout the day. I took a Verifi test yesterday, so results should be ready next week. Feeling nervous and anxious!
Rosie, hope all is well and you can relax more as time goes by. Hope your new clinic and doctor/midwife is good! Makes all the difference during those 9 months.
Dreamingofwin, good luck on that house search. We finally found a house after a year and half of actively searching. So glad no more open houses to attend.
Bunnygirl, hope your appointment goes well this Friday. Is it your first ultrasound for this pregnancy?
Congrats to all the new bfps :) so exciting to see! I haven't been around as much as I'd like to. this pregnancy has been a difficult one so far. I had really bad morning sickness the first 13 weeks and still feel weird after eating. Then I've also been dealing with high blood pressure that has put me in the hospital once already. We are still trying to find the cause of it. I'm also having awful migraines with the high blood pressure. And now just found out I have a low laying placenta but hopefully that will resolve itself soon as I'm only 15.5 weeks. I'm going to try to be more active in this group now as I have really been wanting to but just felt like all I had was complaints but I realize I'm not complaining just discussing lol.
I agree, it's too quiet here!
I think it's been hard to be vocal because I've been deliriously happy with my healthy girl, and the rash of miscarriages has been both sad and sobering. I almost feel like posting happily on here is rubbing it in for the ladies who just had losses, and I'd never want to make them feel worse than they already do. I also kind of feel like shouting out how happy I am about all this is tempting fate a bit (silly, I know!) I'm 14 1/2 weeks now, so I'm over the hump where most miscarriages occur, and my ultrasounds have looked great, but still, things happen!
I'm reluctant to post a bump pic because I seriously just look fat. I'm carrying her super low, and it's not the cute "out in front bump" I had with my boys. It's just a general thickening of my waist that is desperately unattractive. It probably doesn't help that I had another 10 lbs to lose before my BFP.
I'm excited to hear the blood test gender results rolling in, and the nub guessing in our group has been fun too.
Welcome to all the newbies! May we all get our DG!
Awww....Lilith, it's so nice of you to worry about us all but feel free to shout out!! Although I'm insanely jealous, I'm also super happy for all the BFPs and pink news!! 😊
It's like keeping my dream alive through you all. 😉
Hopefully we will all be able to shout out our own successful pink news too soon! 👍💜
I've had two scans already this pregnancy as I'm due 12/13/14. So far things have looked good, but that's no guarantee of anything for me. I'm not sure if I'll have another scan this appointment or not. I get them almost every appointment though. I'm also trying to decide if I want to start progesterone shots to try to prevent preterm labor as 2/3 of my kids were 35 weekers. I just don't want to pay $50-ish a week for something that will be of little benefit, but then I have the what-ifs like I might go much earlier this time. Just a lot of stuff I'm probably unnecessarily worrying about.Quote:

I hope this thread will be more active as a little more time goes by. I have not been very active here and when thinking of it I believe it might be because I am a afraid of starting to dream and plan for this baby. I am terrified that things will go wrong; afraid of chromosomal defects, heart defects and of course m/c. So to protect myself I kind of see myself as pregnant, but not necessarily due with a child in feb. I might sound crazy, but I think I am doing this since last pregnancy wasn't too long ago.
After having my first scans done and eventually seeing if everything looks ok, I'll probably start spamming the thread instead :-)
Just dropping in to say hi ladies!!
As mum said all the BFP and pink bundles give us ttc crew hope!!
Hope a few more of us join you here soon.
Rosie, Angie and marika thinking of you guys especially praying all is happy, healthy and sticky pink beans xxxx

Do you ladies think it's a bad sign if I am feeling a little less sick than I did those first days? I also haven't had the urgency to pee a lot this time. I know it's bad to symptom watch and stress about it but it's hard not to. I'm not even the least bit excited for this pregnancy yet. The last day.or so I haven't been cramping anymore either so now I feel this pregnancy is doomed.
I feel less sick. I was nauscea at time in the third week. and now almost never. I'm 5 weeks now. Just feeling stretchy. or something. and bit tired. but I feel very well still. (by the middle 2 I was already sick. but around 6 weeks it's the worst.. so I'm not cheering yet!)
I'm worried too. for not feeling much.. thinking about all the MC.... (not mine. but read them a lot here. :() keep this in mind for myself...
10th july I've got my first ultrasound and appointment.
I am hoping I am like you then and it's gone away and it will come back! I doubt I could ever have a pregnancy without morning sickness knowing how bad it's always been with my others.
Just popping on to reassure...I had 4 boys and each pregnancy got worse in terms of sickness. The 4th was so bad I dreaded ever getting pregnant again. Then felt the familiar sick feelings and found out number 5 was on the way when I was only 3 weeks along (the earliest I've ever found out/felt symptoms). Knowing the worst of the sickness would show its ugly head at the 6 week mark, I braced myself...and the worst never came! Rather than get worse, I felt better and better. So of course, I worried. But everything progressed nicely and I didn't have any symptoms of sickness the whole way through. This pregnancy resulted in my 1st daughter!
I've since had another son and knew from the 6 week mark that he was a boy because my sickness just got worse. So I went from having the BEST pregnancy to the worst ever ever ever. In my case, lack of sickness is definitely a girl sign!!
Wow Sister!! I hope my story turns out just like yours! I felt sick earlier than ever this time and with my loss too. I just feel a little nauseous now but it's not horrible at all. My sickness normally hits hard around 6 weeks so I'm dreading it.

I have been using an opk every few days. The bottom is today's and the top is sunday. This makes me feel pretty good.
I know others with similar stories to mine, so it definitely looks promising for you Rosie!! Hope you have a happy, healthy little girl on board :-)
It's hard, but try not to stress. When is your first scan?
I'm sorry, but I don't understand how OPKs are relevant in detecting pregnancy/hormones, etc? I've seen so many posts regarding this recently I just thought I'd ask!!
I have no clue! It's a new clinic to me so I have no idea how they run things. I don't think I will get a dating scan since I was using opks. ..The lady on the phone had asked if I did since.i never had a period in between my loss and current pregnancy. Most places around here only scan at 20 weeks. We are planning on team green anyway. I am interested in the 13 weeks scan though. I've never done it before.
Opks also detect hcg. I saw a gradual darkening in mine since 6dpo and it was positve at the same time as an hpt. They should never replace hpts though.Quote:

oooh, sisterplease, you give me hope! i've only been having mild nausea with bouts of ickiness, much less than my two sons so far, so that gives me hope that i'm carrying my pink bean!
Marika, I could have written your last post at the beginning of this pregnancy. I had decided I wasn't "really pregnant" until I found out all was okay. The Panorama results were almost completely reassuring, and the 13 week NT scan finished the job for me. It's a bit like waking up to be 13 weeks pregnant! I wouldn't let myself post here/look at this website much, stayed away from the baby section in stores, and even stayed away from the baby development tickers and stuff. After my scan, I told my boys and showed them pictures of what their sister should look like online and from the book "A Child is Born."
This pregnancy was my mildest MS ever. No puking, just mild nausea when I didn't eat ever couple of hours and and a weird aversion to anything green! And yes, that started at about 3 1/2 weeks. But my first symptom was a horrific low back ache!
Now I still haven't bought a single article of clothing. I'm not doubting anymore that I'm having a DD, but I'm just not really into the clothes as much as some other people. It's more the knowing that I CAN buy them, than the act of acquiring them that makes me happy. Besides, I have no idea how much stuff I'll be getting at my baby shower, and really ALL I need is clothes, so I'm waiting.
Rosie, how old are you? All the insurances I've dealt with offered the 12-13 week NT scan for everyone and the cell-free fetal DNA test for women over 35, but my SIL just told me they gave her a choice, and she's only 30. Sometimes midwives don't necessarily order all the testing an OB would (mine offered only a couple things like gestational diabetes test and urine screenings every visit and I had to request everything else.)
I am going to be 29 soon. My old clinic I know the nuchal screening was always an option...One I always turned down being so young. This time I want it because of swaying...I'm concerned I hurt the quality of my eggs and such. Does that sound silly? Like you lilith I don't think I will be into this pregnancy until 13 weeks...I will feel safe then. Normally when I'm pregnant it's all Dh and I talk about and we are so excited but I rarely mention anything with this pregnancy and probably wont anytime soon. I refuse to get my hopes up...same with the gender. I'm doing team green. I picked a name for each sex and that's where it ends.
I totally guarding yourself against a loss. I've been doing though I keep reminding myself I should enjoy what I have while I have it. It's not really working. I have zero symptoms (except that I feel like I'm about to have AF -- not crampy, just full and achy). No ms except for that one day. A little tired at the end of each day, but that's to be expected (work full time, 2 young children, university course).
BUT....my 1st hcg draw was 122 (june 11).
My second (2 days after) was 273 (june 13).
So according to that, I'm doubling approx every 41 hours.
My progesterone is 113 (which seems to be really high).
So I think that's ok. My dr is still having me go for blood draw evey 3 days (which is a pain in the arm...I have bad veins) to ensure everything keeps rising as it should...so hopefully that will help to reassure me.
There's my random post of the day :)
Angie
Great thank you!! Going to try an Opk for fun as I'm only 9dpo :-)
The 2ww is awful. Rosie, hope you get an earlier scan!
Your blood work looks great Angie. I wish they would have drawn mine. I am doing my own testing with the opks...haha, they have been twice as dark as the last every couple days but now they are almost black so I won't be able to keep going with it.
You should post your opk result sister!!
I use First Response OPKs and the test lines were stark white when I was pregnant with my boys. I had lines, but not positives, with my girl. I'm curious about what they'd say this time.
Crazy bunny. Maybe its only the cheapies that work for it??
You're going team green Rosie?? I'm starting to crack!!! I keep reminding myself that if I hear boy, I'll be sad and so I shouldn't! I think I've just really convinced myself that I'll hear girl (although at the same time I'm so doubtful!!) but I'd love to get excited about having a girl, if that's what it is! But a suprise at the end would be so fab too!! Arghhh!!oh and my grandmother is turning 96 in August...I'd kinda like to tell her too yah know, not to me pessimistic but she is 96!! I hope she will get to know!!

Really? Bummer:(
I can't predict but I'm hopeful for you:)
Just like you were for me!!;)
I've got high hopes for yah;)
Are you sick yet? Can you at least enjoy feeling well for a little bit?
I feel sick now and again. It comes and goes which is strange. ..normally it's an all day thing for me 24/7. My boobs hurt and I'm tired..my only two real symptoms. Tomorrow is the day my miscarriage started last time...so maybe I will feel better about things after the weekend.
Oh and coocoo thank you for your hope and support...it does mean a lot to me!
Coocoo! I know your feeling!
I've opposites of most here. I do think its a girl. But want to think boy so I don't get disapointed. Now I start to feel bad as clearly I must be wrong.
And we will not know till februari.
Did an opk earlier but threw it away!! There was a line, but not as dark as the control. I've never taken the opk tests past a positive smiley so I don't know what it would normally look like. Is having a line at 10dpo a good sign?? Would it normally be white?
10DPO I had a very light line wich I also have on other days. Would'nt go on that. An for me its early to test with OPK.
