So happy for all the HBs today

eggsnbeans · 27/06/2015 18:07

Great scan news ladies :)

Purdie - i:'ve been having the same beige cm, presumably a bit of brown blood. Don't think it's anything to worry about, but pleased EPU will scan you again :)

Bluenewbie · 27/06/2015 18:08

that's good news AbFab86! Flowers
about the HCG results obviously.. ;)

HerewegoagainRound4 · 27/06/2015 18:28

Mumof1 Coooeeeeey I'm here!!!

clumsypots · 27/06/2015 18:44

Yay for all of the happy scans! The midwife called today, my booking in appointment is on 3rd July after the hospital visit. Really happy because the midwife is the same one who delivered my DD 9 years ago!

RattyCatty · 27/06/2015 18:50

Yay for happy scan news ladies!

Purdie I'm glad you are having a scan to reassure you.

Happy weekend ladies

WouldRatherHaveCake · 27/06/2015 19:15

Sorry been out all.day, mum apparently there is a group already I'm just not on it!

NoMontagues · 27/06/2015 19:22

blue tired and stocking congrats on the scans!

And ab on your result Smile Smile

I've always said I'd like to go to sleep until my scan date but now I really, really want to hide away. I'm avoiding everyone and I still have over a week and a half until the scan.

DD has gone away to the west of Ireland for 3 weeks and I miss her so much already Sad Crying on and off all day- akthough I think its mainly hormones!

twinsandapenguin · 27/06/2015 19:27

Congratulations on the good scans ladies! It is my turn on Tuesday.

Whoever was asking about the FB group there is on you can PM me for an invite

primarynoodle · 27/06/2015 19:47

phew 12 hours of this shift gone... 6 to go... im ready to hit the floor im so shattered!

yay for all the scans showing healthy beans! i have my booking in on tuesday at 8 weeks exactly... im still having serious anxiety about miscarriage and getting really down about it so im going to ask for a scan... me and dp living hand to mouth right now and nowhere in manchester doing scans for less than 80 quid so cant go private Sad

i think its highly unlikely ill get one but the worst they can say is wait til 12 weeks i guess!

Marsaday · 27/06/2015 19:54

Hi ladies, congrats on seeing those heartbeats.
I also had a scan this morning - saw heartbeat.
However, scan measurements put me at 7+1 when i am 100% sure that i am 8+3 as i was tracking periods. Sonographer just said cheerily 'oh, you're not as far along as you thought' and didn't seem concerned. However, i am totally sure of my dates and i know exactly when i ovulated. I also know that it can't be down to slow implantation because i got a faint bfp at 9dpo.
I am worried that baby is not growing properly and this is all going to end badly.Sad

RattyCatty · 27/06/2015 20:06

Marsaday try not to worry (I know easier said than done) if the sonographer didn't seem concerned. How are you 100% sure you ovulated? We're you using opks (surges can last longer / shorter occasionally) or temping?

Tiredoftiredness · 27/06/2015 20:18

18 hour shifts primary?! I can barely cope with 8 hours sat on my bum in an office!

Could you stretch to £50 for a scan? There's an offer on groupon www.groupon.co.uk/deals/dealbank_en_gb/hello-baby-ltd/55705172 it's great to be able to set your mind at rest a bit if you can't get one before 12wks from NhS

Rufus200 · 27/06/2015 20:35

So DH did his best to scan me but as the probe limit is 35kg and as I'm 60+kg he didn't stand much of a chance. We struggled to even see my bladder outline. We think we found my uterus and we think we saw a blob in it and we think the Doppler picked up a HB but can't say for sure on any of it as it was so grainy! DH did very kindly tell me I was full of wind, too fat to scan and that my colon was surging and I was very likely to have diarrhoea tonight! Thank you my darling!!! Just going to have to wait for 2 weeks and my proper scan! Completely understand why they dildo cam now!!!

primarynoodle · 27/06/2015 20:37

with dps birthday next week we may be able to afford that if midwife says no, thanks for that link!! i searched wowcher but didnt think of groupon doh

i am a nanny for a mum that works split shifts but she can nap in the staffroom between shifts... its not so bad now the kids are in bed i can relax infront of the telly but i wish i could have a nap!

Marsaday · 27/06/2015 20:43

ratty i was using opks and the clear blue fertility monitor. They both gave me a peak on the same day so I'm pretty sure.

haquoi123 · 27/06/2015 20:46

Fuck me primary, that's awful! How're you still awake??!

Congrats on all the hbs! So good to have some good news :)

marsaday I have the same thing with dates - DH and I stopped having sex as soon as I thought I'd ovulated (we were tired and grumpy), but as I've been put back by three weeks we seem to be having a miracle baby! Who knows when or how the hell I conceived! I've been worrying about the growth as well, but I keep being reminded that they don't date you properly until the 12 week scan and it can change. They say it's exact but it's not really.

purdie, I'd try not to worry about the brown discharge, as long as it's brown and light and you don't have severe cramps you should be OK (from someone who has had brown spotting for the last 3 weeks). Also, high five on the orgasm! I had three this morning (got the go ahead from my doctor yesterday so made up for lost time)

Laquila · 27/06/2015 20:50

Just wanted to flag up for those who were talking about toxoplasmosis - I had it a few years ago and have never knowingly eaten cat poo...I don't even have a cat! It was no fun at all :(

Rufus200 · 27/06/2015 20:54

I don't know how any of you are having sex at the moment! The idea of bouncing around when I'm feeling this nauseous is enough to make me retch. I can't even stand a cuddle, the smell of DH after he has been at work all day makes me want to keep him at arms length or preferably the other end of the sofa! I'm also so hot I don't want any extra body heat anywhere in my vicinity! Am I the only one who would happily strap on a chastity belt right now?

MayFlowers16 · 27/06/2015 20:55

I'm with you on that one Rufus

Rufus200 · 27/06/2015 20:57

laquila you can catch toxoplasmosis from undercooked meat and also salami.

SweetCharlotteRose · 27/06/2015 21:04

Good grief to all those making the sex. I'm never making the sex again, I cannot imagine ever not feeling sick. I had forgotten how ill I feel when pregnant. Also this time round I have a really bitter taste in my mouth all the time. Any suggestions?

Good news with so many positive scans and hcg increases.

Purdie it sounds like old blood perhaps dislodged by your tremendous orgasm?! However I would be very worried (me worried? Surely not) so can understand your concern. Will EPU not see you sooner? Wednesday is a long time to wait when you're worried.

surferchic41212 · 27/06/2015 21:13

Hello all.. Long time no see! So sorry I've been awol for about a week. I've been so shattered that I haven't even been able to look at MN! I had my scan a week ago on Friday and was 7 weeks, so 8+1 today.. My boobs are enormous, and I feel like I'm hungover constantly. I have nausea and dizziness to the point I've had days off work and am now on a drug so I can stay upright.. With my first I was a bit tired and sucky, but this is unbelievable. I feel like crying I'm so tired. Isn't that ridiculous! I cannot WAIT for the second tri!! Reading your posts makes me feel more normal though.. Will we feel normal again???

purdiepipesup · 27/06/2015 21:44

Charlotte, they refuse to scan within 7 days of your last (unless, of course, your are filling a pad within an hour accompanied by acute pain or clots). I'm very lucky to be getting another so soon.

Mars, ignore the erroneous tentative guesswork at these early scans. They are rarely accurate and only serve to make us anxious when the dates don't tally with ours.

The beige discharge has gone completely. I haven't had a single cramp so far so I will leave it in God's hands.

There was absolutely no 'bouncing around' last night; I laid back with my hands tied to the bed and had me fanny licked, innit

Rufus200 · 27/06/2015 21:54

purdie I am currently a fart machine, if DH went down there he would be gassed out! Fingers crossed for you the brown discharge is all finished!
