Trying to conceive after mc? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Recently graduated from the mosh pit? Come on down to the mosh pit for some serious metalling and cake part 4

i am totally freaking out about the scan tomorrow.

i have rang my midwife and she is coming round after work to listen in for me. things must be bad as i have avoided the listening in so far.

i have got to get through this afternoon at work first arrrgghhhh

polka I cannot believe I have seen an ironic BFP with my own eyes (so to speak)! My friend had this happen, she was going for fertility treatment and had a scan of her eggs when she was ov'ing and turns out that egg was actually fertilised and turned into her DS. She then had a second baby by accident. fertility is SOOOO weird.

woo cogito it all looks good so far?

am so happy for all the BFPs this month, and rooting for all you tohers on the 2ww (at the same time, wtf are you all synchronised now?!?!).

I love this thread because we all had disappointing wombs that, in many instances, with a bit of time or a bit of professional twaeking have turned into high functioning baby-growing spaces :). It really is a positive place to be after mc, I hope you settle in nicely imabbs.

did i say I have had some prods from the wean? early but indeedy so, is lovely... but not BRILLIANT, I can't describe it but think I am still metalling quite a lot and not bonding as well as I would like. every time it pokes me it takes a little bit more of my heart and am very frightened. Anyway, have my appt with the consultant tomorrow about recurrent mc's. I want to listen in, and hope they do... and don't at the same time! I know you will understand here :)

Thank you ladies for your great support as always.

yikes yes you're right done another two tests all saying the same thing! Wooohhhhooo I never thought it'd happen again naturally after so many yrs of trying and we'd just contacted the IVF clinic to start the ball rolling, hope for everyone I hope but its a long road of metalling now!

One dead quick question( as I've erased the details From memory) who do I contact about getting an early scan, docs to reg BFP or early unit as I'd like an early scan? We're going on hols in two weeks to Cape Verde and I'm scared if something happens out there as its very much a developing country, mad or genuine concern?

Sorry for me me post, I'm struggling to scroll back but YEY for movements, bfp's and fingers crossed for 2 ww's

Congratulations polka! This is a brill thread

cogito, I had my prog levels done when I was 5 weeks and they were 33.1. Googling didn't bring me any joy (as you say, the charts are different in the UK and the US) but my SIL is an obs/gynae registrar and she said that in her hospital they regard anything over 20 as a viable pregnancy. She also said it's not routine to even measure progesterone in most places, and these days prog supplementation isn't particularly fashionable, so I'm not sure why they do it really. It's just one more thing to get worried about! I'm 18 weeks tomorrow and touch wood baby is fine, so given that your progesterone is higher than mine was and well over 20 I don't think you have anything to worry about there.

mumtum I am feeling little movements - I thought I felt something a couple of weeks ago and now I am definitely getting little prods. Of course I worry if there is a day when I don't feel them (even though I know it's completely normal not to feel them regularly at this stage...) I am surprised at feeling them this early, but I've put it down to this being dc2 and my stomach never having toned up after ds

Hang on, not CD16, I'm on CD 23....doh

Congratulations Polka!! How exciting!

I'm okay thanks Jolly I had a few stabbing type feelings on left side of uterus area today and yesterday. They feel different to ovulation pains and are too late for those (I think). I'm on CD16 of a 25 day cycle (when it's behaving itself) so think it could be implantation ...AM TRYING NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT!!!

Such a good thread of lovely bfps, perfect scans and kicking babies - see, we can do it!

Hi all on iPad so just short post

Polka brilliant news! Lots of good luck around

Mumtum well done for sorting yourself out, (unlike stupid me) take the antibiotics the alternative is much worse! Hope you feel much better soon, take it v easy

Hi to imabbs

Some good news on here, positive thinking helps! Any news for u yet pixie?

Nothing doing here - DH away at crucial times so we didn't even dtd this month! Hopefully a month's break will help us next month...

Thank you jolly

The problem is they measure it differently in the us and there I think it's from 10 but I think mine was the English measurement. Aargh why do I do this to myself!

Good luck for sat! Fingers crossed for you.

Thank you yikes that' would be great!

(Descartes originally wrote cogito ergo sum but later changed it to cogito sum as having 'therefore' destroyed his argument.. Also philosophy graduate )

Great news polka - you can join me in the re-testing-every-day-to-be-sure club!! I did my third test today. 4th tomorrow!!
cogito(ergo)sum - sorry, philosophy grad pedant here! - I'm having bloods done on Thursday so I can tell you the results when I get them so you've got something to compare to. But not sure how long they will take to come through...

Would anyone be able to help me interpret results?

HCG is 938 which seems high... based on new dates because of weird ovulation I had guessed I was 4 weeks but this seems closer to 5 weeks based on the chart i've seen.

Progesterone is 49.1 is this low? Does anyone have a link to ideal progesterone at differnet stages of pregnancy?

thank you!

Oh MumTum that sounds rubbish! I always used to think a chest infection was a 'bad cough' til I had one and it floored me! Plus an ear infection? Youch

Hope you get well soon

Yay for polka love this lucky thread

Good luck with scan pebs

Lurches are u feeling movements yet? It's my 2nd preg to get this far so I thought I'd be feeling something definite by now.... I've had pressure and tightening type feelings but nothing I could definitely recognise want to go public announcing movements

Just got back from the gp I knew I was poorly I have an ear throat and chest infection needless to say now have anti biotics and am metalling about taking them just wish the cough would bugger off it hurts my lower bump so much when I sneeze and cough

lol pebs, my brain is cream crackered. I definitely meant 20 week scan!

sorry, meant to welcome imabbs too. welcome!

congrats polka your post reminded me of when i get bfp! got a little flutter of excitement!

wilde it's my 20 week scan - don't put me back 8 weeks lol!

I have got the scan on thursday. starting with mild panic which will build up to the full metal jacket on thursday am aarrgghhh!!

lets get some more bfps on here!!

Congratulations polka that's great.

jolly my boobs are hurting a lot so hope it's a good sign for you!

I'm having progesterone and hcg blood tests today. No particular reason but I hope it'll put my mind at rest a bit!

Wow polka another BFP! Congrats!

Sooo exciting! I'm P-5 days... twingey boobs but no bloating as I can tell. Still unsure. Last time, I knew I was pg cos boobs twinged on and off but not like the usual building agony pre-AF which seemed to crescendo after ten days before dying back the day after the arrival of the witch.

Was also crazy bloated. But not now. I did though see a pool of sick on the floor on my walk in and felt a mini gag at the thought... but that, I daresay, is probably normal. The fact that I didn't feel even slightly grim when clearing up DSS after an exorcist moment last Saturday can't be a good sign... (tho in hindsight, I think it's cos it smelt like calpol, and not sick....)

What progress Jolly? Remind me - when are you POAS?

Wow 3 BFPs in a week!!!
I love how we seem to be doing this in groups for added support.

Good luck to those still waiting to test! And Jolly i hope the sore boobs progress to a BFP for you too.

And good luck to pebs at your scan

tas i hope you're feeling a bit better?

Eek polka! Yay! What a lucky thread

ah wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee polka! WOW am so delighted with all these BFPs :) :) congrats lovey :)

state congrats on car seat purchase!

hope you shake the cold soon mumtum

good luck for your 12 week scan pebs!

I've got a feint line, I've got a feint freaking line aggggghhhhh so so scared and SO SO delighted!

Congratulations to yikes and the other bfps! This is proving to be a very lucky thread

Hi to ImAbbs. I lurked here for a while after my mc before posting. Join in whenever you're ready - everyone is really friendly and if it seems like we've all known each other forever, it's honestly only because we're so chatty and lovely and this thread is very fast-moving!

MumTum we are pregnancy twins - I am 17+5 today!

state glad your naughty baby started wiggling again. They do it on purpose to worry us...not long to go now until you meet that wriggler!

pebs I felt movement with ds at 19.5 weeks I think. I had an anterior placenta which they say muffles movements - I have been surprised at the difference this time around so I think my placenta must be at the back this time. It's normal not to feel movements until about 22 weeks with your first baby though so you might have a bit longer to wait yet. Once you do feel them they tell you not to be worried about not feeling them regularly until about 28 weeks when you should be feeling plenty every day - until that point it's normal (but terrifying) to go for a few days without feeling anything, if the little sod darling has decided to bed in facing your stomach for a while.

Afm I am still muddling along until my anomaly scan, which is in two weeks. I am trying to be really positive about it and focus on everything being OK and looking forward to finding out the sex, and not letting myself metal on any bad thoughts fat chance

Night night everyone
