Welcome, Tinksmagic! Good luck with the u/s - let us know how it goes!
I am back from my weekend get away... I was very concerned on friday and saturday because AF was due and I was having cramps and I was very tired. But here I am no AF, still tired, nausea, and craving sugar for the first time out of any of my pregs. I can't believe I have to wait another mth for my Dr's appointment.
tinks good luck for your scan!
welcome back pp20! glad you have dodged the witch :)
I'm still waiting for the MW to call me. Saw the doctor who referred me last Tuesday and he said I'd probably hear from her by the end of the week. Still waiting... The doctor mentioned possibly getting a scan too so hoping she hurries up and calls me so I can ask for one! (although expecting stingy NHS to refuse an early scan...)
might pay for a private scan at around 8 weeks if they refuse, although 3 weeks still seems like a lifetime away!
The 8 week scan is so worth, to see the heartbeat, to have reassuarance everything is going along, etc...I'd def. pay for a private if they won't give you one, but they should give you one!!
Now I have the loooooong wait for 20 week scan...my DR does not do NT scan...and PP, don't worry, I've been nausea-free (strangely enough) since the mucus moved in. My body is so hard fighting the mucus/sinus infection that I think it forgot about the nausea. That's been the ONLY good thing about being sick. Though I have been worired about coughing as hard as I've had, it makes me want to gag sometimes. I can't wait until the mucus moves out!
"dodged the witch"! LOL!!! Too funny!
Well, my scan today was "inconclusive" and "cautiously optimistic". And that means what, exactly? Oh yeah, right, I get to go crazy waiting for another week! :(
In a nutshell (and posting this on pt for those who may miss it). I'm at 6w1d, the gestational sac she saw is 5w4d. They said that's perfectly normal and give it a 5 day window each way. So she asked me how many we put back, I said 2. I asked if she only saw 1. She did, but when she moved the wand #2 is hiding behind #1, SHE THINKS!!! She can't say 100% if #2 is a #2 or if it's an "echo". She couldn't get an accurate measurement on the little sucker cuz every time she moved the wand, the 2 circles changed size and position so she's assuming for right now there's definitely 1 but there could be a second. I know what I saw.... But of course my uterus is reversed and she couldn't get a clear shot of #2 cuz everything is in the way, but she kept moving the wand and that elusive second sac, though smaller at times, can be found.
The nurse who did the exam said everything does look fine and as long as no bleeding I should be ok, they just need to wait until next week to see the fetal pole.
So we wait another week til Tuesday now.... UGH!!! Darn holiday!
dodged the witch... Thats about how I felt. I was so worried she was coming.
Tink.... I hope you have 2 little peanuts in there. I don't know really anything about a reversed uterus but maybe another scan later will show more. Are you doing weekly scans?
I have a VERY tipped (reversed) uterus. :D Which meant it took the doc forever (with my 1st pregnancy) to find the heartbeat with the doppler. Oh well!
PP20~ Thank you, I hope so too! I am glad I asked her to check, there was 2 on the screen. I think you and I are close, based on due dates. Have you had an u/s yet? Congrats to you as well!
LL ~ They found mine was reversed when I had DD#1 22 years ago, talk about pain "waiting for it to come around"! Now it's just in the way of my clear picture and I'm annoyed, lol.
Glad there was no bad news at your scan, tinks - and it sounds like you're going to see TWO beans growing in there by next week!
I have my first midwife appointment a week from Wednesday, then I'll have my 12 week scan sometime a week or two after that. It'll be a stressful time for me because that's when my m/c happened last time - right between my first mw appointment and my 12 week scan...at least I've already seen a heartbeat this time, so hopefully all will be well. I'm soooooo eager to finally get out of the first trimester.
