August Testing Pond (Follow on from 24th-4th July) thread 3

[Littlebee1990]

We’re nearly full so made us another thread!

How is everyone?

I’m 6DPO CD31.. going to be a 40+ day cycle.. as if 30 doesn’t feel long enough!! Nothing to report aside from that.

@Nottherealslimshady hahaha I did think I can’t remember this name!!! Your theme sounds lovely. Playroom will hopefully be a godsend but don’t doubt it’ll be a playroom / boys football room!!! X

@nottherealslimshady and @littlebee1990 Thank you for the prewarning as that would have stressed me out. Both your nurseries sound adorable. I hope I can get to that point. I stupidly ordered christmas baby outfits (before spotting) but also have a family member due at similar times who can use them if we can't. They are so cute and were so cheap too. When did you start to buy things? I was planning to wait until 20 weeks as I'll be on holiday for a good few weeks and can spend time researching and hopefully be allowed into the shops at that point too x

@1992EM I bought cute outfit after the 12 week then a few bits after our gender scan at 16 weeks and then went full force after the 20 week! His wardrobe is now officially maxed out!! X

@littlebee1990 I love it ❤ I can't wait . I'm desperate to go pram shopping .x

@1992EM I'd bought clothes before the 12 week scan and nearly everything before the 20 week scan and was well on with decorating. Our nursery has been complete since about 24 weeks 😆
I'm kinda glad I got it all done early though as I just cba to do anything now!

@Littlebee1990 ah bless, is this boy your first? Sorry I can't remember x

@nottherealslimshady oh I am looking forward to it. I will need to wait until 20 + weeks as my partner and I work opposite shifts and my 12 week scan is the day after my 2 weeks holiday and then my next holiday isn't until 23 weeks I think. I am hoping that is enough time for the big stuff . The smaller stuff I can get online x

I just wanted to let you know that all is well with baby . Measuring at 7 1/2weeks and has a strong heart beat. They don't no why there was spotting but said all is well for now x

Yay! Oh I'm so happy for you! Hoping your pregnancy is calm sailing from here xx

We had a 4d scan for mothers day, our baby is so beautiful 😍 we definitely think boy, already a little version of DH!

@nottherealslimshady thank you ❤ That is such a lovely mothers day gift ❤

@1992EM So pleased to hear that ❤️
@Nottherealslimshady Yeah this is first bub! We had a 4D scan too & it was amazing!!

@littlebee1990 thank you ❤

Hi all, I thought I'd check in with some good news. My first full month clear of the horrid polyp and yesterday I got my first ever BFP!

Obviously very early days but I haven't even got this far before, so am trying to hold on to that. I had a bit of spotting and a small bleed on the day I would have expected my period, but it seems to have stopped for now. I'm trying to avoid further testing because I think it'll just stress me out, but I got a 2-3 on a digital, which is where I should be, so hoping all is well.

I can't believe some of you are so near the end now! If this little one makes it, it'll be due late-ish November.

@Dinosaurus86 This has made me so happy! I’m so pleased for you, please keep us posted and I’m sending all the positive sticky vibes xx

@Dinosaurus86
Yay! That's so exciting! So happy for you x

@dinosaurus86 Congratulations ❤❤ such lovely news . xx

Thanks all! I have everything crossed it will stick. DP was very excited!

@Dinosaurus86 amazing!! Congrats - so happy for you!!

Yay so pleased for you @Dinosaurus86

Unfortunately our 20 week scan didn’t go well. We had a consultation with the screening midwife and I have to go back tomorrow for a scan with the fetal medicine department as baby has an abnormal lip which they believe is right cleft lip.

I’ll be advised further on whether they believe it is related to a chromosome issue and if I need an amniocentesis or a NIPT even though my 12 week bloods came back as 1 in 20,000 so even the hospital are in shock.

I have a home visit from a specialist clinic next week.

As you can imagine it's all a bit of a shock and to me, I thought once I reached 12 weeks and had the bloods back we would be in the clear ❤️

@Smushty14 I’m so sorry to read your update, I’m hoping for the best possible outcome for you and sending lots of love. ❤️

@Smushty14 oh I'm so so sorry, thinking of you both x

@smushty14 hi, how are you feeling today? Did you have your scan?Obviously unexpected news for you but hope you're ok as can be

@dinosaurus86 huge congrats! After such a long time aswell x

@motherofdinosau I think there's just me and you left still waiting for our good news!!

Ooops sorry I get so confused with username especially when there are similar sounding ones!!

@fran2020 @DoctorBambino still waiting too! Hopefully not much longer

Hope all the mams to be are doing well!

@Littlebee1990 @Tinydinosaur thanks guys 💖

@dogmam so we had our appointment with the specialist yesterday and we have been changed to a high risk pregnancy now and I'm under consultant care rather than just midwifes. We also have to go back for regular scans to keep an eye on baby x

@Smushty14 I'm sorry it's not an easy ride for you. But it's good they're keeping an eye on baby. Hope you're both well x
