Sorry I'm just taking everything the wrong way atm

Thank you I just feel I'm getting on everyone's nerves..

I've got bloods again tomz I have to pay separate at a different clinic.. I just seen I can pay for a private scan they have. Appointments Thursday an Saturday this week.

It's just a rollercoaster of emotions this all is isn't it not just for me for us all..

Sending love to you all

pattaz2711 · 07/07/2020 08:21

I haven't slept all night everytime I did I dreamt about all this.. so I've found a place who does private scans not sure if to try there.. I'm having bloods again this morning not with my clinic I have to go to a different place

BabySweet85 · 07/07/2020 08:41

@pattaz2711sorry you haven’t slept. When will you get your bloods back from the place today?

BabySweet85 · 07/07/2020 08:42

Hi all - is anyone on Cyclogest? My nausea is so bad I can hardly get out of bed for two days - it’s awful.

Everhopeful35 · 07/07/2020 10:23

@BabySweet85 I find cyclogest upsets my stomach a bit. But it's usually the other end, if you know what I mean... 🤣 It's got better though. I think my body is used to it now.

@Pattaz2711 I'm so sorry to hear you've had a bad night. I think you're totally doing the right thing by getting a private scan though. That's what I would do. A private specialist might give you better care / feedback. Let us know when you're going and what they say. xx

pattaz2711 · 07/07/2020 10:25

@Everhopeful35 not sure if to go Thursday or Saturday

Everhopeful35 · 07/07/2020 10:34

@pattaz2711 I'd be tempted to go sooner, so you can talk to someone ASAP. But I guess if you leave it until Saturday you'll be at six weeks and they may have more answers for you? If you go Saturday, ask for an early morning appointment so you don't have the whole day to wait!

Evey43 · 07/07/2020 10:39

@pattaz2711 hopefully if you do go for a scan (I probably would too) they will be able to spend more time with you talking through it.

@BabySweet85 I’m on cyclogest for nearly a week and not really getting any side effects (worried I’m doing it wrong 😬 but only so many ways to do that right? 😬😬). If I do feel a bit sick I really like fizzy lemonade, maybe the clinic can give you something?

Xx

BabySweet85 · 07/07/2020 11:05

@Everhopeful35 @Evey43 I didn't have side affects for over a week and now I am absolutely floored. Thanks for the lemonade recommendation - I am currently drinking ginger water which helps momentarily. Off to see my acupuncturist in half an hour so will see what she says.

I am 8dp5dt - anyone have a really stiff/sore stomach?

pattaz2711 · 07/07/2020 11:18

@BabySweet85 @Everhopeful35 @Evey43 I had bloods this morning so hopefully be back by this afternoon.
I have no pregnancy feeling no sickness nothing only sore boobs.. I'm 20dp5dt so I'm 5weeks 4days..
The scan is £79 it's 30 mins if I wanted to.. I'm like I need to do it soon like Thursday but be better to wait until Saturday.. hubby has said no to it as if we was having a normal pregnancy we wouldn't even be like this.. Thursday I can do it when he's at work lol.. Thursday I'll be one day away from
6 weeks... I'm so confused in what to do.. any suggestions welcome if to wait to say it thursday.. I'm scared about my bloods an because the hospital near me doesn't like to do them the private hospital was a little rude this morning..
I feel like I'm falling apart today...

Sorry ladies I know you all have you own worries don't need me going on

Everhopeful35 · 07/07/2020 11:21

@BabySweet85 Did you do any more tests since you got your faint BFP? How are you feeling now since your accident? Hope much better.

I've been to the clinic again this morning for another HCG and progesterone test (they do them every other day). I was told that because I'm over the 1,200 mark now, the doubling time starts to slow down. They just want it to double within 96 hours (although ideally about 72). On Friday, my level was 1,421 and on Sunday it was 2,598, so I was happy with that. But I'm back to being a nervous wreck again today. I think what makes it worse is that I have barely any pregnancy symptoms - I feel quite well at the moment! It makes me feel like I'm not pregnant.

Dbrook · 07/07/2020 11:34

@pattaz2711 could you do bloods today and Thursday and then do the scan on Saturday? That way you might have more conclusive tracking and you’d be further along for the scan.

@Everhopeful35 great news that your hcg levels have been rising. When do you get your results from today’s blood tests?

Everhopeful35 · 07/07/2020 12:16

@pattaz2711, I agree with @Dbrook - maybe get the bloods to see your progression and then go for scan on Saturday. That will hell the scanner build a good picture of what's going on.

@Dbrook I get my results this afternoon, usually before 4pm. If things continue to go okay, I may have a scan at the weekend or early next week, which I'm very scared about. Just trying to focus on one little hurdle at a time to get through it...

BabySweet85 · 07/07/2020 13:51

@Everhopeful35 Yes I have done two more tests on FMU the past day whereas the faint line one was afternoon. They are both BFP with a quite strong line! I’m happy but nervous at the same time. Just need it to stay that way for OTD. I feel okay after my accident, thank you for asking. I phoned the clinic and they reassured me each time that everything is well protected and it wont have any effects as it is just too early for anything to be damaged. It is definitely going to make me more wary about travel though if this is a viable pregnancy.
Congratulations on your levels - sounds great! I’m not sure if my clinic test levels they just book you in for a scan after OTD. Try not to be nervous. It is completely normal not to have symptoms x

Everhopeful35 · 07/07/2020 15:40

@BabySweet85 That's amazing news! Congratulations! Sounds like it's definitely progressing if you've got good, strong lines. When is your OTD? I'm so glad the clinic reassured you and you're feeling better since your accident too.

My clinic just called and told me the hormone level has gone up well again, so have booked me in for a scan on Thursday 'just to check it's all in the right place' 😬 I'm now a nervous wreck. But just glad that it seems to be progressing, so fingers crossed.

pattaz2711 · 07/07/2020 16:20

@Everhopeful35 that's good with your blloods.. an your scan booked your clinic seems on the ball..

My bloods have come back..

Still don't know what to do about this scan.

Dbrook · 07/07/2020 16:36

Congrats @BabySweet85! When is your OTD?

@Everhopeful35 great news about your blood tests. Fingers crossed for Thursday.

@pattaz2711 what were the blood results?

pattaz2711 · 07/07/2020 16:39

@Dbrook last Monday there were 946.5 Wednesday 2038.. today 15077..

I'm just so worried about what they said yesteday about irregular sac my clinic still said they can't say anything an know it's hard

How are you

Dbrook · 07/07/2020 16:46

@pattaz2711 sounds like a good number. Are you still having cramping or spotting?

I’m ok. Have had some waves of nausea / queasiness over the past few days but not sure if that’s related to my IBS. Have my 7 week scan on 15 July. My last pregnancy ended between weeks 6 and 7 so very nervous about this week.

Mrbay · 07/07/2020 17:00

Hi all, I'm out, I've taken a few days to process it so I am going to bow out of this thread.

Good luck all!!

BabySweet85 · 07/07/2020 17:02

@Everhopeful35 @Dbrook Thank you! OTD is Sunday 12th so I am 5 days early.

@pattaz2711 how were the blood results?

pattaz2711 · 07/07/2020 17:05

@BabySweet85 they was today 15077 I spoke to the nurse still not said anything
What shall I do about the scan?? Pls help lol..
Good results hun xx

@Dbrook still cramping a bit but I'm a little constipated 🙈..

Dbrook · 07/07/2020 17:16

Very sorry to hear that @Mrbay xx

BabySweet85 · 07/07/2020 17:18

@Mrbay I am so sorry to gear that - lots of love x

BabySweet85 · 07/07/2020 17:20

@pattaz2711 I think Thursday scan sounds like a good option, if it is only one day before 6 weeks surely they would be able to give you some more concrete information. Plus doing it earlier will put your mind at rest quicker
