A thread for elderberries who are hovering in the bfp helicopter

[barkingtreefrog]

All elderberry grads welcome and anyone who fills berry criteria: ttc #1 a long time now finally bagged that elusive bfp, over 30...

Come join the next stage of the journey and compare sickness reports!!

Hooray merk!

When you said bloods before, was that combined NT testing? What were the results?

I thought yours was at 12 for some reason I'm stupid so came on to wish you luck and you were already done!!

Pic is up. All absolutely fine, jumping around. Dates stay the same (12w today, edd 25 March). No sign of anything I could base my blue/pink diagnosis on I'm afraid!

Thunder they just took the bloods for the combined test today, (the bloods they took at booking were for HIV, rubella, syphilis etc). The Nuchal was 1.1mm which looks at the low end on the chart. Get full combined results in the post next week

Hooray Merk, will go and have a shufty at your pic in a sec. Officially graduated then!

All good at mine too, a bit earlier than I thought so 7+4 today...and BOTH heartbeats going strong!!!

Fab pic merk!!! So chuffed for you. I am going to say boy...I have a 50/50 chance of being right huh

Ahh merk, lovely! Yours is pointing the other way to mine!
Will you find out the sex? I vote girl...

Oh my god boom TWINS?!?!?!? That is amazing!!!! WOW, bet you are thrilled and a little shocked.

Ahhh some berry TWINS how amazing! Is it odd that I am so about this???

Twins!!! The first berry twins!!! I want to jump up and down I'm so excited. Great news boom
On my blue/pink my vote is pink (due to placenta placement and brief nub glance I thought I got today). We are contemplating harmony testing and if we do we can find out then. OH doesn't want to know so its a bit of a debate

Boom you will be under consultant led care so you will maybe get extra scans

Doh obviously you would know that better than anyone!

boom!!! How did I miss your post?!!!

Amazing news, massive congratulations!!!

I feel a bit hysterical! x x

merk just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons, I was convinced I was having a girl....mothers intuition was a bit out and he's a boy. My friend got told at her 12 week scan that they were 80% sure it was a boy, she's having a girl. We were both so shocked as we were convinced it was the other way around. Oooops.

I kind of loved not knowing but knowing is fab too, I love being able to buy colourful clothes and am also getting bunting made with his name on. Plus we only had to argue over one name not two.

Can't stop grinning

So are they fraternal, boom?

She's not sure, hard to tell as early on but thinks non-identical which makes sense with clomid. It'll get confirmed at 12wk scan!

Oh yes of course- more likely to be two eggs released.

Really lovely lovely news for bit you and merk, massive congratulations x

Thanks Thunder, hard to believe I can be so chuffed and so terrified at the same time!

Tried to put a pic up, it's sideways and blurry but there are definitely two little blobs!

Wow I just logged on at work to see barkings sad news but I see we have some exciting news up in the copter!

So chuffed all is well boom and merk you must be thrilled! x

mixed emotions in berry HQ today

Have just noticed I have some odd blood results which (dr google says) may point to vit b12 deficiency or thyroid issues. I've got high MCV, low RBC and high MCH. This was not mentioned to me this morning however they have been clearly marked as high and low in my notes. Should I make a doc app, do nothing or wait to speak to the midwife in 4 weeks?

Can you ring mw to discuss merk? Presumably they're not worried if they saw them today but presumably it would put your mind at rest to be talked through them?

(Boom, you need to make your profile public)

Awesome photo boom they may look like two little blobs, but they are your two very special and very loved blobs

My first scan pic looks like I'm growing a kidney bean, they soon change though.

merk - great news, but boom you upstaged everyone! Wow!! That is such exciting news it has tempted me from my lurking pit to post. Am so excited for you!
been busy in the wim household last few days - christening a, parties etc but looking forward to a tues night in front of tv - benders, bake off, midwives.... Who could ask for more!

Thanks everyone. I think we're still a bit shell-shocked, but in a good way! Of course we knew there was a chance of twins with clomid but nobody actually thinks it's going to happen to them, do they?! The lady doing the scan just said 'I can see two sacs and two heartbeats' and Mr Boom nearly hit the ceiling!

Merk I would call your GP, I'm not sure how much your midwife would know about thyroid issues..

Wim hello, how nice to see you! I think I'll be joining you in front of the telly tonight!
