Apologies for those I have forgot to tag - please add yourself :)

Hey @Sweetbabydust1989 how are you lovely? Hope you’re doing ok? ❤️❤️

@PeanuttyButter are you ok? Thinking of you ❤️❤️

I think I I’m 1DPO - didn’t get a high OPK this cycle but have been drinking a lot so maybe diluted - Premom usually predicts my OV bang on but maybe different due to covid 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔

Not fancying our chances this month - Covid has made it tricky!! Managed to BD on CD6 (start of my 5 day window), CD8 and this morning. DP gave it a drunken go last night but failed to deliver the goods 🙄 one beer too many me thinks!! 🤣
I’d like to hope it’ll make for a more chilled TWW but I know I’ll still obsess regardless 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Kelb79 I am all good thank you how are you doing?? I had a sex scan done on Saturday they said girl but I am still not convinced after 2 boys 🙈 I have a scan pic but still think a Willy might be hiding I was 16 weeks 5 days xx

Hey lovely ladies, hope your all doing well and hanging in there.

@Annny27 omg I’m so happy for you!! You literally was the one who started this chat and have been waiting for this rainbow for a very long time. I’m chuffed for you.

@Babyghirl I see you have been quiet, I hope your okay, feel a little concerned about you 💕

I had my little girl 3/2/22 at 37 week via an emergency c-section due to my uterus rupturing. She weighed 6lb 11oz

Thank you soo much ladies for all the support, stories, positivity and shared grief, you truly got me through one of the saddest times of my life and I am soo grateful ❤️

@SLCxxx massive congratulations hun she is beautiful xx

@SLCxxx Congratulations!!! Lovely photo Xx

Congratulations @SLCxxx

Hi ladies, We had some unexpected news at our 12 week scan so probably going to take a break and will update you when all results are back which may take weeks.

Baby measuring 11+6 with heartbeat which was great (thats all i was worried about but turns out that was the uneventful part....). But the NT measurments were very high indicating an abnormality so we have been referred to fetal medicine. (For those who havent got to this stage it basically means high chance of down syndrome/other chromosome issues or heart defect) Keeping my fingers crossed that all is okay 🤞🤞 but have been crying non stop and imagining all the worst. Got taken into the "sad room" to have to results given to us which made it more real.

@SLCxxx congratulations lovely, baby is gorgeous 💗💗💗

@sweetbabydust1989 a little girl will be lovely! Hopefully they can confirm gender at 20 week for you

@Annny27 I’m so sorry to hear this. I don't have any words of comfort as I know from experience nothing will help ease your anxiety, but just wanted to say I’ve been where you are and know how worrying the waits are. Sending you lots of love and positive prayers. Here if you need to talk xx

@Annny27 I have a friend who was given the same news but the NT scan on it's own carries about 20% chance of being a false positive and her baby was healthy. I hope they have given you the combined blood test to provide you with a more accurate result and as far as I'm aware, you should have been offered the NIPT test by now on the NHS as well. It completely makes sense if you want to take a break whilst awaiting results but we are obviously all hoping that you have good news as soon as possible and are here if you need to vent or anything. Loads of love. Xx

Thanks both 💗

@angelmama1121 will let you know when we have had initial test results xx

@h0peing so baby was lying away from scanner so she couldn't do the measurmwnts for ages and then when she did I actually don't think she did them correctly (here's hoping anyway.....)
I have appointment next week where they will offer NIPT I think. And i will get my combined screening score too. Because of bloody bank holiday it's all delayed!

@Annny27 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 She got the measurement wrong.
Yes the bank holiday is a pain, I’m still waiting for my results from my NIPT (was offered it this time after my DS.
Hopefully you’ll have done more answers soon. I’ll be thinking of you 💖

@Annny27 didn't the hospital give you all results on the same day? I have my scans done at a fetal medicine hospital in London our local hospital no longer does pregnancy scans so everyone in the borough gets sent there and we get relish's on the day. I am keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you it happened to a lady I speak to on another group she was high risk for Down's syndrome had all the other tests and it came back low risk xx

@angelmama1121 hopefully your results come back soon! Are you finding out the sex of the baby at the same time?

@sweetbabydust1989 oh that's good you have same day results! No because of bank holidays (had scan on thursday) I won't get blood results untill tuesday/ Wednesday at the earliest. Thanks lovely 💗

Ooooh @Annny27 I’m praying this is all just a scare and turns out ok. There is such a big chance they’ve got this wrong so hold on to hope and stay strong - the stress won’t be helping you at all. Thinking of you xxxxxxx

@Annny27 that's so annoying for you your anxiety must be through the roof!! Our 12 week app is like 3 hours long as we do bloods first they get sent to the lab then the scan and then we get results it's better the way they do it. I honestly believe things will turn out good for you xx

@Annny27 they haven’t said whether or not they will tell us the gender. If they do we will but if not we will have a heart scan at 16 weeks as my DS had trisomy 21 and a very serious and complex heart defect x
I’m trying to stay positive it’s different this time. I’ll be having everything crossed for you too xx

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this @Annny27 fingers crossed all will be ok in the end. We are here if you need us, you can always PM me if you need a chat. Similarly if you want to step away that's fine, we will be here when you come back xx

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you’re having a nice weekend ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Easter @Kelb79 and everyone else.
Well we've made it through another 'holiday', don't feel like I've had much time off as I've been super busy but I've been off since Friday.

My OPKs have gone back to low now that the bleeding has stopped, waiting for them to increase again in the hopes I ovulate this month. I'm taking it as me being on cycle day 14, thinking I may ovulate later than usual if I'm going to at all.
Hope everyone is well x

@PeanuttyButter it’s awful when you don’t know where you are isn’t it?! I hope it all settles again very soon for you lovely xxxx

@Annny27 how are you? Hope you’re managing to stay calm and not stress to much. Praying you get happy news very soon xxxxx

I’m 6DPO - getting little aches around my lower belly, achy boobs and a fair bit of creamy CM so I’m obviously not symptom spotting at all 🫣🫤😂 but I don’t have any tests in the house so I’m going cold turkey on my POAS addiction this month 🙈🙈

@Annny27 how are doing lovely? I have been thinking of you xx

Hope everyone had a good Easter and were able to make the most of the glorious weather we had.

@Kelb79 are you going to hold off until AF is due? I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

@PeanuttyButter I hope you’re doing ok lovely.

Thanks everyone for kind wishes 💗💗 @PeanuttyButter @H0peing @Angelmama1121 @Kelb79 @Sweetbabydust1989

@angelmama1121 we have our appointment on Wednesday where they will rescan, check the NT again to see if it was mistake or not and then do the NIPT or CVS depending on what happens with scan. Spent first few days in tears but have been a bit more positive last few days 🤞🤞 was your sons condition diagnosed via cvs/ amnio?

@kelb79 well done on the no tests in house! I used to be the same but would go out to the chemist to get some from 10dpo so I may as well have kept them in house :p

Hope everyone has had a good Easter.

I'm back in a better frame of mind now started the gym loosing weight hope it helps with fertility! Fingers cross my month comes soon

@Kelb79 that all sounds promising for 6dpo, I have a good feeling about you this month 🤞
