TTC Girl - June 2012

[LimeRikki]

Hi everyone! I'm new to gender dreaming, but I've been on in-gender and WWAPP on babycenter since 2010. So hopefully when DH and I start ttc in a few months, I'll have a good sway plan ready. Anyway, can't wait to join you guys in the swaying journey! Pink thoughts to all of you!

surgena -- based on what you described, it does sound like a chemical. I had 2 this year - the first one was confirmed at doctors office with blood test. Both times, I had a ton of pregnancy symptoms in the 2ww (breast hurt, cramping, metallic taste in my mouth, vivid dreams, etc). So, I tested the day AF was due and got very very faint positive hpt. The first time it was very very faint for 2 days, and then there was light bleeding..spotting really. The second time, the bleeding started late that evening...and by morning the hpt was negative. I'm so sorry. I didn't have any clotting with that period...but the month following I strangely had lots of clotting...so I think it took a cycle to all come out. Sorry for the tmi.

Sounds pretty exactly what happened to me. I had at least two days where I had positive tests but they faded out, along with my symptoms.

Heard from doctor... all they did was a preg test to look for levels of hcg over 25 and wouldn't be able to tell me a number below that. Pfffft! Naturally, it was negative.

That doesn't confirm enough for me that it was or wasn't chemical... it tells me nothing at all! Grrr. Oh well, what is done, is done.

I'm sorry surgena.

I'm having a bad day too. So we went for another ultrasound. The RE dates the pregnancy at 5 weeks 5 days based on LMP, but I feel strongly it's more like 5 wks 2 days bec I had a 30 day cycle that month and I know I ovulated later at D17. Anyway, the gestational sac grew 1mm a day so that is right on track. But still couldn't see a yolk sac or fetal pole. He said "it's probably still too early". Thankfully we go on vacation for a week, so next ultrasound isn't scheduled for 11 days (beginning of 7 weeks). All these early ultrasounds are just upsetting me....meanwhile he told me we wouldn't learn anything more from the blood tests (which he did and I should get results later today)...so I'm completely feeling defeated and fear this is not a viable pregnancy. I'm so sad.

ILindGurl, your bean is just fine. Dont worry. I am praying for you and your little pink bean!!!

[suregena]

It's still so early! *hugs*

Ilindgirl - it sounds like everything is just fine! No worries. The vaca will be just what the doctor ordered. You'll come back and see a beautiful baby on the screen!

Suregena- you call doc and order the lower level hcG on the blood that wa already taken. They hold on to it for a bit.

Hi ladies!!

Ilindgirl, if you're achieving the 1mm growth per day that they expect to see, that has to be a good sign!

Suregena, thank goodness for AF and being able to get into a new cycle!

PFP, I can't recall -- where are you in your cycle now?

I've been so daggone queasy that I've spent pretty much zero time in front of the computer except for what I have to do with work -- which meant I haven't even logged onto this site in several days. But you've all been in my thoughts!

Yark (<-- that's my nausea noise ). Still no throwing up, but pretty much carsicky round the clock. I'm eight weeks today and have my first OB appointment tomorrow. My doc likes to do a first trimester ultrasound, so we're gearing up/praying to see a good heartbeat.

They only tested my urine! I couldn't get a blood test out of 'em.

Oooh, I HATE the all day sickness so much. Especially since I use public transport - with my son, that was so brutal. There were days I could not leave the house and called in sick to work because the idea of the commuting to work on public transport in the summer made me feel even *sicker*. I remember walking to work, too, after surviving the train journey, heading up the road, which goes uphill, and I ran around a corner behind a building and called into work because I was going to hurl. Well, I didn't of course (only threw up twice with my son) but I felt like one more step was going to make me!

Funny how we all hurry to get pregnant again... heheeh.
