Just out of interest choccy how long do they say the NK cell danger period is for then? xx

Arianrhod · 23/08/2013 13:11

choccy So damn pleased for you, I just can't say how much! :)

freelancegirl · 23/08/2013 13:25

Choccy that's amazing news, I'm so pleased for you. Yes the theory is that over 9 weeks is a huge hurdle for treated nk cells so that's amazing. Yes of course things can still go wrong as we know but there is every reason to be optimistic.

Duggs I don't blame you for skipping the scans, you'll go straight to knowing for sure at the next one. I think I would do the same in retrospect.

I'm at my parents place at the moment but will be getting in touch with those of you who are going to be in the doc as soon as I get back.

Lots of love to all x

duggs1976 · 23/08/2013 14:57

Wow amazing news choccy and very well deservedGrin well I caved this morning (didn't tell DH) and rushed off for emergency scan. Saw heartbeat but dates seem to be really off but at least there was one. They said 6+4 but I'm supposed to be 7+2?? Confused Oh well got what I wanted I suppose. Now back to hiding.

Tumtimes1 · 23/08/2013 15:15

Congratulations! Heartbeat is wicked and dates are only very slightly off. This is all looking very good xxxx

cartoontrickster · 23/08/2013 15:25

choccy that's amazing news.
duggs did they say much about the dates being off? thats really good that you saw the hb.
I've invested in a Doppler. used it first time yesterday I was really worried incase I couldn't find the hb and paniced my self. but I'm pretty sure I found it. apparently u can mix up the placenta and heartbeat.

duggs1976 · 23/08/2013 16:17

No was a different scan place so she said sometimes 1mm can make a huge difference so I've got no consistency. Who knows what is really going on in there? Just hope it keeps growing like it should now.

duggs1976 · 23/08/2013 16:18

Good Doppler news cartoon. Oh god another mentalling opportunity Shock

cartoontrickster · 23/08/2013 16:39

I know duggs! a risky purchase I ummm'd and ahhh'd for ages. but I'm glad I've got it now. Grin

cartoon I thought about getting a doppler but just know I would send myself insane with it, well done on hearing the HB

choccy that is brilliant news :)

duggs I measured small for most of my early scans, all is fine now

hi buzzy how are you coming along?

duggs1976 · 23/08/2013 20:48

Yes buzzy where are you at??

Hey ladies I am now 17w5d, I had my 16 week appointment on Wednesday and they did a quick scan for me, they also booked in for scans for later on in the pregnancy, still driving myself mental, nearly had a breakdown an hour ago as boobs didn't hurt much Blush i'm finding the build up to the 20 week scan more stressful than the 12 week one.

cartoontrickster · 23/08/2013 21:08

argh defiantly I had a major wobble at the beginning of this week, its what prompted us to get the Doppler. feel better now though. my 20wk scan is on 2nd Sept. whens yours buzzy?

Buzzybee123 · 23/08/2013 21:28

not until the 13th sept when I'll be 20w4d, I did almost book another private scan

Buzzy!!!!!Grin For some reason I feel like I missed your news when announced - how did I manage that ? Didn't we meet a few years ago in London at the first thread gathering ? You have a blond bob?? Am I right?

cartoontrickster · 24/08/2013 08:17

clabbage how are you?
buzzy I always think if you need a scan to put your mind at rest then have one. that's what I usually do.

teamdozie · 24/08/2013 08:37

Hi everyone...

Thought id lost you all..
Its such good news for those of you who are progressing so well, i am so pleased..

You guys give me so much hope..

For those of you seeing Dr S are you getting scans every 4 weeks? He told me he would scan me every 2 weeks.. so if anyone is interested in purchasing a kidney please let me know..

I have a good feeling about this month and im trying to hold on to that positivity.. Fingers Crossed ladies.. (for us still trying)

mollieboo · 24/08/2013 08:52

Congrats choccy and duggs, great scan news.

Glad it's going well too for cartoon and buzzy.

Xx

freelancegirl · 24/08/2013 12:07

Duggs that is brilliant news about the heartbeat. And great news too for Buzzy and Cartoon. I found a Dopplar really helpful. It sometimes took a while to find the HB but I always got there eventually. It's fast - like galloping horses sometimes. And then you can hear the wooshing of the placenta.

cartoontrickster · 24/08/2013 12:38

oh yeh free I can definatly tell the difference now I've heard both but I can see why you may mix them up. its so reassuring. used it every day so far Blush . probably shouldnt though!

Buzzybee123 · 24/08/2013 13:54

team you cracked me up about the kidney, he said that to me but i reminded him that I was under his NHS RMC and they should be scanning me every 2 weeks, to be honest I would find other places, I use babybond that charge between £59 to £99 depending on what scan you want, positivity is the way forward

duggs no that wasn't me, I have a red bob

cartoon I agree with you about the scans, I have calmed down a bit today but will see when babybond have a timeslot

freelancegirl · 24/08/2013 15:12

I might need a kidney after my holiday!

duggs1976 · 24/08/2013 15:33

Ahh muddling you up with breezy and thought I'd missed breezy bfp ?! Sorry buzzy. Free - a new kidney eh?! It's typical bank holiday weather here enjoy the Spanish sunshine. Smile

teamdozie · 25/08/2013 08:01

Hahaha Buzzy its either that or we take it out of the little ones pocket money.. lol..

He told me not to go to the hospital for scans as it may confuse me. I have got it right its a scan there at every two weeks? writing it all down seems too many..

When the time comes ill look into baby bond thank you.. I still fear the worst so i will probably go to the EPAU as well.. (God have to let go of this negativity)

Free have a great holiday.. and it will be a well deserved kidney too lol..

We just came back from a mini break needless to say im NEVER drinking again.. lol
