Oh yikes - what's the next step. Are you going to have CVS or an amnio?

lurcherlover · 07/01/2013 23:05

Oh yikes, so sorry to hear that. You've had a lot of different tests - have you had all the results back? I think you said you didn't want to have amnio? Thinking of you.

backwardpossom · 07/01/2013 22:47

Oh yikes not what you want to hear. :( What's the plan? Amnio? Much love x

YikesHereWeGo · 07/01/2013 22:26

Shit shit shit shit shit. 1:2 risk of downs. Shit shit shit shit shit.
That is all.

MrsHerculePoirot · 07/01/2013 18:51

Right, am back and going to post more regularly again - I have been quite slack recently and lots has been going on!

I am entering the 2ww - not holding out much hope tbh, we only managed to dtd once this month as DH was ill all of last week (he is better now).

Congrats to LCR and Dorita properly and glad to hear that everyone else's scans and bumps seem to be going well.

backwardpossom · 07/01/2013 12:21

Hi all, you'd slipped off my page and I'd lost you again. Congrats to Dorita and LCRon your BFPs and to jolly and beans on your scans! Lots of great news on the thread, lovely start to 2013! Smile

I'm 31+3 today. Getting rather large and grumpy. Antisocial is definitely how I would describe myself at the moment... Am having a good declutter around the house - is this nesting or is it too early for that nonsense? I can't believe how close I am to having this baby, would never have believed it in May. This thread has been a lifeline at times - good luck to our TTCers x

LCR77 · 07/01/2013 10:16

dorita hope it goes well for you on Weds and you get a few reassurances from the experts. I know how worrying things can be - every twinge causes concern. I had quite a lot of spotting last time when I miscarried from about 5 weeks so going to be keeping an eye out. Got my midwife appt booked for Friday so can talk over everything and get my early scan booked in.

Dorita75 · 06/01/2013 15:47

I think I'm 4+2 LCR We've got an appointment to get some results of a scan and fertility hormone blood tests on Weds, all set up before this bfp. I'm still going to go they're the experts and I still want to know more about scan I had in November as they mentioned a cyst, I've had pinching pains a lot since yesterday so want my nerves calmed that that's only this corpus luceum thing..! I don't know much about what causes eptopic I'm afraid, my friend had one so I know about symptoms tho.

HJBeans · 06/01/2013 15:41

Congratulations lcr and dorita! Wonderful way to start the year! Good luck with the last 8 weeks of the 12 week wait. Know how stressful as well as joyful the BFP can be and will be keeping everything crossed for you.

Hooray, too, for yikes - fantastic news that you're at nearly 12 weeks and all tests are coming back positive.

Here's hoping the good news on this thread keeps on coming!

LCR77 · 06/01/2013 12:10

And yes Dorita conception twins. Congratulations and hooray! working it out i should be 4+3. What about you? Want to get my early scan booked in ASAP so hoping for a midwife appt this week. So scared this could be another ectopic. Does anyone know of causes/ reasons for them?

LCR77 · 06/01/2013 11:52

Thanks everyone you're very kind. Sending lots of positivity to everyone ttc and 2013 brings you everything you wish for.

notsoold · 06/01/2013 00:51

Congratulations lcr and dorita...excellent news!!!

lurcherlover · 05/01/2013 23:19

Wow lots of good news on this thread! Congratulations jolly and beans on good scans, and dorita and LCR on bfps. Great start to 2013! Hope there's lots more to come.

Dorita75 · 05/01/2013 21:51

Thanks everyone! It's such a strange feeling, I feel a bit numb to it but also a bit excited. I was helping my friend move house today so told her and 2 other friends who all put me on cushion and pillow carrying duty only! Told my and dp's family today. Although it's so so so early (4 wks) they're the ones who'll hold our hands if it all goes tits up again. Plus dp's sister has asked me to be her bridesmaid in August and all being well I'll be as big as a house, so wanted to tell her at her planning stage so she can decide what she wants!

Congrats LCR77 we must be conception twins, I had a faint line yesterday and it's a strong positive one this evening. Although yesterday I did a test in work and accidentally peed on wrong side of stick so stuck it down the toilet - still got vvvv faint line though so that's a good sign!

Jollyb · 05/01/2013 17:34

Wow many congrats LCR- take a deep breath and take one day at a time.

LCR77 · 05/01/2013 17:13

and yes also in a state of shock right now...not sunken in yet

LCR77 · 05/01/2013 17:11

thanks for your words of support beans and jolly it does help especially as I can't talk to anyone else aside from my partner just yet.

After a dud test last night (the control line was very faint) I waited till this morning and came up with a BFP straight away(!!!). Very mixed feelings as it has happened so quickly after MC and need to wait until early scan at 7 weeks till I can even let myself be excited.

To all TTCers I'd recommend taking the Pregnacare Conception supplements as it seems to have worked both times!! best wishes to you all

LittleSpade · 05/01/2013 17:06

Yay congratulations Dorita Grin

lotsofcheese · 05/01/2013 16:41

Wow Dorita - excellent start to 2013 Grin!!!!

YikesHereWeGo · 05/01/2013 09:18

Hiya all! Sorry not posted for a while; I've been reading posts most days but I think I feel a bit guilty posting on a mc thread that actually this pg seems to be working out ok. I've been posting more on the antenatal boards but they've started to freak me out with all their talk of buying buggies, NCT classes, etc. I just want to shake them all. So obvs I'm still feeling a bit delicate/nervous. I had a private scan last week at the FMC in London so I could have the Harmony blood test for downs as I would be so against CVS/amino given mc risk if my nuchal results were bad. (I'm 38 so a bit higher risk than others). Anyway the scan looked fine and I was on cloud 9 that day. 5 days further ahead than I thought too (am now 11+5) so going back on Monday for the proper nuchal scan and then on Thursday it's my NHS scan (with DH coming too). DH still hasn't told anyone and doesn't want to until I'm much further on. But I've told very close friends and family. Sickness starting to abate, thankfully!
Glad to hear everyone else is doing well.
And good luck to all TTC-ers!!!!
