I don't think mine ever went away after #5!!
Well I was looking good until I started this HE diet. Naturally I have put the weight on around my bum and stomach. I've decided to start doing some cardio to get rid of the fat but I'm still going to ear the same amount of calories. Hopefully that will just make me shed the fat but keep the muscle I've put on.
Bec, good luck with the test!
So, ladies AF arrived today. I figured I usually have a 29 day cycle but this time it was 31 days. Could it be because of the supplements? I took EPO, flaxseed oil and folic acid from AF to O.
Bummer Soni :( FX this cycle!
Sorry about AF Soni :( It seems that alot of blue swayers have their LP lengthened so maybe it is something to do with the supps.
Off for another beta today and to get my diabete results FX all is ok! Going to ask about a dating scan too.
Update us when you get back, TTC5!! Hope all goes well!
Will do! Went to see my sister yesterday and she knows I am preg now but she says to me "OMG your boobs are huge" so it's not just in my head LOL They are sooo sore, I take my bra off and they feel like they are engorged already!!
Good luck with your beta today 5. Fingers crossed it's nice and high now so no more stressing!!
Soni~ Sorry AF showed.
TTC5~ Hope all goes well, Good luck!
Had a scan and could only just see a small sac with internal scan. Nothing could be seen inside it yet, and sac measured 4w 1d but my LMP puts me at 5w2d?
Ok so help me here ladies these are my numbers etc.
17th Jan BFP & Beta of 3. (going by scan today this put me at only 2w 5d)
19th Jan beta was 26. (going by scan 3w)
23rd Jan beta 195 (going by scan 3w 4 d)
Had another beta today will update this afternoon. Scan today put me at 4w 1d.
LMP 21st December.
So initially the dr said my numbers were too low (prior to the scan today) but after googling it seems my numbers are actually very high???
Confusing much!!!????
So if you're 4w1d today does that mean you O'd on the 12th Jan? You got a BFP on 17th Jan so surely it wouldn't show up then if you were only 5dpo.
Maybe the dating scan is a little off?
Hopefully you have a nice beta rise :)
no wait still working it out

TTC5 how long was your LMP? I am finding it hard to get my head around it, but i think you would have O'd around the 5th, then got your BFP at 12DPO (17th Jan) so implantation occured anywhere from the 6th to the 16th, so lets say it was the 6th, then the measurement should be 3 weeks, which it is out obviously, so if we throw on 2 more weeks from LMP the measurement should be 5 weeks but that is out too, your measurement is in the middle of them both so i dont know, maybe it is a tad bigger or smaller than the average at the moment.
The only other explination i can come up with is that you O'd super early on the 29th (CD9?) and implanted right away, then got your BFP on 19DPO (hmm not very likely), but then you would measure exactly 4w1d.
Very confusing hey! All I can think of, is that the embryo is just not growing?? I don't know :(
When do you get your results?
Maybe the dates are a little off, try not worry. I know, easier said than done.
So gestational age is 5w2d and fetal age is 4w1d, usually fetal age is 2 weeks less than gestational age, so your measurement should have been 3w2d, so i think it is growing just fine, actually growing great.
No there was only a Gestational Sac found measuring 4w 1d. Nothing else, no yolk or anything. Just a very very small looking sac.
Hey! I hope I'm not butting in here.... this thread just peaked my interest because I went through this same thing with our youngest son :)
TTC5 - I had the exact same thing happen with our youngest son. Ultrasound measurements were off. I had about 8 ultrasounds in the first trimester as result of that and bleeding. I had one that said I was due March 5th, then another one a week later saying I was due March 17th, and therefore had me thinking the embryo hadn't grown, etc. My midwife however, explained to me (in all my panic and confusion!) that these ultrasounds are not an exact science. At that early stage, they are measuring something the size of a grain of rice - they measure in mm. So, if at 5 weeks the baby should be 4mm, and at 6 weeks the baby should be 8mm, you have to take into account the fact that the little cursor on the ultrasound (they put a cursor at each end of the embryo to measure it) is a mm thick itself, which can make it up to 2mm off in either direction. Also, if the embryo isn't facing perfectly lengthwise, they could be taking a slight cross section, which woud be smaller than if they were able to measure perfectly from head to toe. Does that make sense? I hope it helps ease your fear..... I remember being such an emotional disaster for weeks thinking the baby wasn't growing and I was going to miscarry. He's great now though, and turns 1 next month ;) Good luck :)
