Thanks Jazzers. Although they were only going by sac size with me not mearing the embryo because that was not seen?

But I think they were talking about gestational age not fetal age. So they were saying gestational age was 4w1d. Is that right 5?Quote:

My bloods just came in too!! hcg is now 845 Woo Hooo!!! He said things look on par :)
That's fantastic! All that worrying for nothing!
Yay!!
5, That's wonderful, Don't worry now ..Relax.
If I go by my LMP my baby would measure WEEKS behind ..My cycle is LONG!!! I go by my O day it's more accurate.
Thanks girls feel so much more relaxed now :)
Congrats 5!! After a lot of losses and pregnancies I now believe that sometimes we know too much too soon. I won't have a scan before 8 weeks because I think it causes too much worry and I don't do beta's. If at 8 weeks everything looks healthy and where it should be, there is a bloody good chance everything will go as planned and we will bring home a baby!
I'm glad your worry is over....now relax, stress is no good for the growing bean!!
Hi everyone,
TTC5, so glad everything looks good! No more worrying now, please! You got yourself a little sticky bean and all is going to be perfect. That psychic is full of crap....it really is just for fun. I bet your body is just used to the pregnancy hormones and starts letting it all loose right away. I felt poochy by 8wks last time too, and I swear a little at 7 actually. But who cares, just cook up a healthy baby!
MFC, glad you got a heartbeat and can't wait to see your nub! I know you are nervous about it, but it is what it is now, so just keep your FX.
Soni, sorry about AF. I agree, probably the EPO that is lengthening your cycle. It's not that big of a deal unless it bothers you. EPO is really good for a sway, but if you feel like you don't know when you O and all, you could drop it. LOL about your DH in the shower. I know we've chatted on this forum about that before, but I don't know when mine does that? He must be covert! We've only been married 2 years though. Well, I think it's good he's doing that, because it means he has a nice healthy turnover of sperm. Maybe you could convince him to be sure to wait 48 hours in between this coming month? But I wouldn't sweat it otherwise. I bet zillions of boys are born from frequent masterbators who throw in a bd daily as well.
Bec, FX for some ripe follies! I am about to start working out again also, I want to look better this summer as well. I like your plan to work out more and keep diet the same.
RE: boy mothering and having a gaggle of older sisters- all I can say about that is be sure not to baby him too much, and make him the special spoiled one. My little brother turned out to be a total loser and has this "everyone should take care of me" mentality because my parents babied him since he was the coveted boy and the last child. Now, my brother is not mean or a bad person or anything, he is just 32, took 10 years to get through college, and lives at home with my parents and works at a sandwich shop. He has no initiative and is always expecting things to fall in his lap. My sister and I, on the other hand, always had to take care of him and ourselves, and I run a company and she is a professor at a University. (We were GGB, me being the oldest.) But, I have seen that happen in other families as well, and the culprit was always babying the baby. Everyone is different, but I will absolutely heed this big time if I have a boy. I know that is not going to be easy, but he needs to learn to not rely on his many "mommies" to do everything for him. Otherwise, I think there is not much difference, your boys will just be children and different, just like they all are. More trucks and maybe more energy (who knows?) but you ladies will be awesome boy mamas!!!
Hey girls!
Lola I see bfn....sorry for that :-( You so right about the baby in the family. i think it goes for boy and girl too.
Fab-omg Im so stalking now I want to see then nub or just cute baby pics from you!Is that next Monday or what? Either way baby must be cute I remember all your kids are so cute!
For me I started back a weight training a little bit again because Im so tired of my pudding butt and poncho belly :/ hopefully it will help me loose more weight and I get a little bit more firm. well a lot would be nice lol
Hope all who is waiting now get a bfp!
hugs
5! That is fab. I'm super happy. I think POP makes a great point; sometimes all this early information is just ... to much. Ignorance can really be such bliss :) Regardless I am glad to hear all looks good for baby #5 for you!
MFC how exciting to have your NT scan! FX all looks good and healthy!
ITA with Lola on not letting these little boys with all the little mommas/sisters get babied :) My FIL had 4 older sisters though (and TTC5 I know you have a younger brother so I bet you can offer perspective too!) and he is a fantastic guy. He had a LOT of responsibility given to him though at a young age, partially because he was the first boy after all the girls and partially because he had all the younger siblings (there were 3 or 4 more boys born after him) to take care of. Anyhow, he turned out great :) I bet all your boys will too.
Too funny about all the psychic stuff going on here lately! I have never looked into it. I guess there's a huge part of me that doesn't want to know. Not that all of them are right or anything, but the not knowing is sometimes just better. If I had known I'd have 3 DD I honestly might not have had any kids. So at least for me I'm glad I don't know what's coming! But I sure hope it's all good :)
Should I change my ticker adjust it to 4w 5d as per scan yesterday or stick with LMP?
I say keep it!Quote:

Well done Flava on that weight loss girl!
TTC5 - I'd leave the ticker, it is 40 weeks from LMP, so all good. I'm so glad everything looks good now, wonder if your Doc is eating his words.
Flava - great job on the weight loss journey. I am stalking Fab too :)
AFM - i am now on CD20 with no sign of O :( I think it is going to be one of my freakishly long cycles :( But on a happier note it is my DD's birthday today, she is 2 :) we are waiting for the rain to rack off so we can build the swingset we got for her and we are having her party tomorrow at Smileez :)
Happy birthday to your daughter, Cinss! Hopefully you will O soon.
Lola, Do your parents want your brother at home still, or would they prefer he moved out? My step brother lived at home until a few years ago, and he's 30. He was working and saving his money, and went and bought an apartment building! Crazy! My parents kind of forced him out--I think he really overstayed his welcome.
TTC5, keep your ticker. I am so glad everything is okay with your little bean. :)
Flava, nice to her from you! Good job on the weight loss!!
MFC, can't wait to hear about your scan!
Cinss it is my DD's birthday today too she turned 9 :) Happy 2nd birthday to your little girl :)
Oh really 5... Wow that's pretty cool, Happy Birthday to your little princess too :)
Happy birthday to both of your daughters 5 & Cinss.
So, I've been away for a few days being mad at the world about AF starting....on cd3 again and back on the TTC wagon...hoping for a Feb STICKY bfp!!!
Congrats 5....finally, everything turned out good...all the best for H & H 9 months ahead for you.Quote:

I was away for sometime so just a recap on my story...if you remember I didn't get a smiley on my expired opk (expired in dec) when I felt the cervix and everything else felt like I am ovulating....however, I got a smiley on 14th day at 3am and that was gone by afternoon 2pm. so, looks like I have a very short window of positive opk. As I thought I missed my time due to expired opk so I had stopped drinks and BSF for previous 2 days and dint feel like Doing an attempt.
After that since last 2 weeks, I am not taking drinks and loosely doing diets....I started serious diet and drinks yesterday so, hoping AF will show up in 2-3 days and, then 2 more weeks of serious diet n drinks. These days unfortunately both my husband's and my work is not going good with deadlines and lot of stress....so, need help from god on that too ...I guess life is never perfect :)
I was really
sorry to hear that...I pray for a strong..strong FEB BFP for you..good luck.Quote:

Hey ladies,
Happy belated Birthday to your lovely daughters Cinss and 5! My DD2 is 2 in a few weeks so we're planning celebrations for that at the moment.
Lola, where are you up to now? Early in your cycle right? Have you got an appointment for DH yet?
Flava, the weights will definitely help you tone up and hopefully shed a few kgs as well. Good luck with it :)
Yahmama, I tend to have a break from the forums for a few days when AF arrives. It gets you so down. Onto next cycle!
POP, that's a lovely name, very sweet. I'm not sure about middle names though. I find it so hard to find middle names that I like and that go with the first name. It's nice that you have a girl name picked out just in case. I haven't even thought about names for our next baby.
So, ultrasound tomorrow. Hopefully some nice follies!
Hope you've all had a great weekend :)
Thanks Flava. So nice to see you around :)Quote:

Thank you! Sorry about the late O! :( FX it will come soon for you! I know how the month seems to drag on when ttc anyway, so that's a bummer it's holding off so long! I'm not due to O until Feb 10, so we'll see how that goes...I feel like my life is on hold while ttc and I just want something to take my mind off things! Anyone else feel that way, and what do you do?!?Quote:
