Thanks! I need all the crossed fingers I can get!!

Congrats, tiffsal!! How exciting!!!
I went ahead and called my regular OB's office. I scheduled my appointments with them. I go in to see the nurse on Monday and then my OB on Sept 14th. I am hoping I'll get a scan done soon!! I am trying so hard not to think about my hcg test on Saturday. It's really hard!!!

I made my first prenatal appointment with the midwives. I gave up waiting for the group that is geographically closer to me and called the ones that did my care with ds4.
I was so happy that they were willing to bring me in asap (still 2 weeks from now though) and set me up with an ultrasound to confirm what im cooking up (as far as singleton or not...) right after instead of waiting on the 12 wk scan! So I'll have a more accurate dating scan to book my "harmony" test too :)

Awesome hitme!! I'm hoping they'll do a scan when I see my OB. She's been really good in the past as far as doing things just to ease my mind, lol! Luckily she has a few ultrasound machines right in the office. My old OB didn't have that. Or.... Maybe I'll get lucky and my hcg will shoot up and I'll get an ultrasound next week, lol!!! I doubt it but here's to hoping! :)

you gotta keep the faith! Trust in A higher power that whatever happens was meant to be.
I wish they had a us machine at the clinic but they don't, even the ob that I started with last time didnt. I hope she cooperated with you. When's your next draw?

I hope you both have amazing scans momamia & Hitme! Fxfxfx for you both!
I guess you & I are the only ones doing the harmony test Hitme? Crazy!
Ash, if I can get the harmony test done, I totally will!!! I'm not sure if my OB does it. I'm going to ask about it at my appointment.
Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!
Totally!!! :) I think it's funny we both did it on the same day, lol!Quote:

Im not fully up to speed on the differences between harmony, the "free tests" we have here and the paid one that I'll be doing.
In ontario we have a free 2 part blood test called IPS that screens for downs, trisomy 18 and spina bifida and they're done after 11 wks (between 11+13 wks) and then a second blood draw between 15-18 wks. These tests are used in combo with the NT scan. Im not sure how harmony screens - we do have harmony here, but I know if our ips test come back positive we can apply for our medical coverage to pay for harmony (approx $1000)
The one im getting at 10 wks is similar I guess but less, according the their web page; or maybe it's just the gender reveal that is this price but like $325 or something.

Congratulations on your baby girl Tiff. I am really delighted for you.
My OB does offer the harmony test but we have opted not to have it. I am low risk and the test is not covered by my health insurance so would be expensive.
Thank you moma! You can always ask to scan if the ob has the machine? Gl to you and hitme
Thank you pearl. I guess the ramzi theory was wrong for me but yours about smaller sizes was true 😁 good luck with your scan next week!!
Huge congrats Tiff!! Yay [emoji175]!!!

Congrats Tiff!!
Very very happy for u Tiffsal [emoji173] [emoji173] [emoji4]
Congrats...
Hey Tiff, I noticed upon looking at your sway you used acijel. How did you use it and how often? Also did you take cranberry supplement or just drink the juice? Did you take a zinc supplement too- if so how often? Lastly, how often did you take baby aspirin?
Thanks!
[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]
Thank you everyone. I really didnt think it would of worked being on the diet for only 5 weeks...
Xx i didnt everything that could sway for a girl.
I used acijel every 2nd day. I dumped 10min after finishing bd and use half the applicator for acijel.
I drank a glass of cranberry juice every morning on the diet and tablets as well in the afternoon. With vit C.
Zinc everyday. We had oysters the day before the attempt as it is full of zinc but my ph went really high up. I cant remember about baby aspirin but i think it would of been the 3 days leading up to attempt.
I took zyrtec at the same time.
Hubby was taking licorice root tablets but half the recommended dose for couple weeks...
The actal attempt was totally different from how my boys were made....
I hope i answered everything 😊
Thank you!!! I'm just going through things again to prepare for my next sway! I can't believe that DH wants to try again!
Huge congrats Tiff! Enjoy [emoji175]!!
[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]
Thanks xx.
It is really nice if you are ready for it too! So great! When is baby due?
Congratulations Tiff :cheer:
Well you are right I can expect the bleeding for a while to come. I had a second ultrasound, the bleed is still visible but baby is going strong :)Quote:

Ash I'm going to have a look at yours now!!
Yaybaby again I'm so sorry your HCG has confirmed your fears from the bleeding. My thoughts are with you mommas :hugs:
Glad your little bubba is growing well True :). Long may it continue!
my nub looked abit more obvious during the scan. It's still flat but I'm just so confused as to why it had that bright extra bulb on the top already. Time will tell I guess.
I'm slowly getting some energy back. We moved the boys rooms around today and made the office into DS1 bedroom so now he has his own space. He loves it. He's so excited he won't sleep lol.
Keep well everyone and grow strong little by babies xx
Good to hear your starting to feel better :)
I truly don't think the nub can be used to guess quite yet, everywhere I've looked in the past has said they are still identical at this stage :) we never truly know what we're seeing on ultrasounds I've seen lines and blobs appear and disappear out of nowhere :D
I'm due either Nov 27th or Dec 3rd- they can't make up their minds, since he is measuring 1 week ahead.Quote:

So, from when he is born until March/April I'll be using Replens/Acijel religiously to cut the odds of conception a bit...hopefully! Then when we have better timed BDing, we will just use a small amount of Acijel/Replens as a lube if needed to make BDing more comfortable.
Ahhhh!!

Thanks true and junie😊 we still cant believe it but havent told anyone yet...waiting to see our parents mainly.
Xx welcome to your 3rd trimester 😊 my nephew was measuring 4 weeks ahead but was born at 40weeks....i dont think it means much....?
I would probably use half the applicator. When using a full applicator because the attempt ii didnt feel confortable to me...😦😖
Yay True!! I'm so happy for you that baby is growing nice & strong !!! I have been thinking about you a lot & praying!:cheerteam:
So happy True that you saw a healthy baby!!! SCH causes so much worry! I can't find the study my OB emailed me....anyway with an SCH there is a 9 % chance of a miscarriage if there is a heartbeat seen, which is the same as a normal healthy pregnancy. Yay!!!
Sending you more of my blue baby dust [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]

Congrats tiff on your baby girl :)
Tiff, many congrats on your baby girl, fantastic news!
True, so pleased to read that your bubba is growing big and strong!
Ash - v excited to hear the results of your harmony test, hope they come in sooner rather than later!
I am just at the end of AF so looking forward to our attempt and hoping I don't have to wait too long to ovulate - I have worked out that if I am successful this cycle we can just about squeeze into this due date group - here's hoping!
Thanks Foxcub!!! Im so nervous it's not even funny! Driving myself nuts, wishing I could go in for another US real quick to see if I can get a better nub shot!!!
I'm so crossing everything that I possibly can, that you catch that egg this month & are in this due date group!! I miss you Foxcub!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to super stalk the sept 2ww to see an amazing update from :bluesperm::cheerteam::heart:you!!:fx::bluesperm:: cheerteam::Flower::heart:
Fox I have to admit even when I'm here but not posting I am stalking you girls and praying you all get back in here, I miss you all, you're part of our group :hugs:
Storming the heavens for BFPs for you all super quick xxx
Thank you everyone it's so touching how supportive you all are - I do love each and everyone of you mommas :hugs:
I went into the ER last night because I started having horrible cramping. They got me right in (which was a miracle because they had a 6 hour wait!!!). They did blood work and my levels didn't go up much: 513 from 303 on Tuesday. They did 2 ultrasounds and found the gestational sac in my uterus but it is abnormally shaped and empty. I am going in for a d&c on Tuesday. I don't see the need to continue with the pregnancy when my levels are so low and there is no fetal pole. They didn't feel it was likely that I'd have another sac in one of my tubes. I also discovered that I have a giant cyst on my left ovary that I'll need to have drained because it is so big that it poses a risk for my ovary to twist from the weight (it's 4.3cm).
I'm really just glad to be able to move forward and not have to worry anymore. Because of my history of miscarriage, they are going to do genetic testing on the tissue to see if they can figure out a cause for the abnormal pregnancy. Thank you everyone for the positive thoughts. It was a rough night.
My RE's office made it sound like I should be going in there for the d&c. When I said confronted her on it, the nurse acted like she claimed I should do what I feel the most comfortable with. Then she told me that if I go through my RE, I won't be able to get it done on Tuesday because he'd have to see me first. So, it would probably take at least a week or more to schedule it. That is after my kids are back in school and I really don't want to have to deal with this right when the kids start school. She also said that my hcg will need to be followed by whoever does the d&c and acted like I wouldn't be able to have my RE's office do that if I go to the hospital to have the d&c. Wtf?! Why is she making this so hard on me? I told her that the d&c was never offered or even suggested this whole 2 weeks and that I haven't even seen my RE through all of this. I think I am going to just go to my regular OB and screw my stupid RE. Their office is seriously pissing me off. I've never experienced such horrible bedside manner from a nurse before in my life.
Momamia I'm so so sorry to read this and even more so with how you are being treated - I'm angry on your behalf :( Talk to your regular OB for sure you need to do what works best for you. Love and hugs to you :hug2:
