BFPs after MC - Christmas Cake for Christmas Babies - Thread 1

[Cakelaur]

Here we go ladies!!! Let's continue it here and hope we all just switch from the TTC group to the pregnancy group

Yes 30 in July. According to my dates either 23/24 Dec! When r u due? X

@Beck1988 they said could be a number of things, implantation, irritation of cervix, bub getting comfy, or placenta starting to attach. She said there was loads of reasons. I may have just over done it a little. So I've been told to rest up and take it easy. Defo get yourself booked in for a private scan. Such a reassurance!! Sometimes they do groupon ones!

@cakelaur music to my ears when a medical professional says to take it easy!!

@Beck1988 I was 30 last month. I think I am 20th December but perhaps I will know more after the scan tonight. That's me going on when the first day of my last period was which I always forget to log so it could be a couple of days out. Think I ovulated on 28th x

Oooh @BobbySD345 I ovulated around 27th!!! I'm due 18th December

@cakelaur aww how exciting ! I think I ov on 28th because although my app said 1st April I had the tugging ovulation pains on 28th and then nothing until what must have been implantation around 6-7 days later. 28th was our 3rd year wedding anniversary so I'm hoping it was fate and this bean sticks 💑

Cakelaur Fantastic news!
I think I ovulated on the 27th too. My due date is a little later than yours because they don't count it the same way in France. I was very overdue for DC1, 2 and 3 so there is a chance the baby could be born in 2019.
I am going for blood tests tomorrow. Then I am going to beg for an early scan in a couple of weeks.

@BobbySD345 I'm due 20th of December :) let me know what they see on the scan and if it's abdominal I'm curious lol x

@lolli18 I couldn't see much on the scan today at 5+5. But there was a blob, in the right place, with a little flutter of a heartbeat! That's all I could ask for. And it was transvaginal. I think too small to see abdominally. It was only 3mm!! Haha

@lolli18 will do !

@cakelaur
can they see which side you ovulated from? I'd love to know if all these pulling sensations I've had the last 3-4 weeks on the left are all because it's happened from the left side !

@BobbySD345 they didn't say. To be fair I stopped listening to them when they mentioned a heartbeat! They did check them both and said all was fine! 🤞🏻 for yours!!

@Cakelaur aw that's amazing ! Wish I had my own ultrasound machine lol we should all chip in and share it pmsl!! Xx

I'm sorry I've been away, work! I really need some support though if you don't mind.

I went to the epu today, based on ov I think I'm 5+1. During the scan they said they could see a gestational sac but no yolk sac and no fetal pole which I have heard else where is ok for 5 weeks. But in the debrief they said they can't be sure because it is 5×5×7 mm so it could be a miscarriage or ectopic. They took blood to test hcg and will repeat on wed. I have just bought another frer and digi to see if my line has progressed and it has so it will be ok? DH burst into tears when he realised I'd hear the result over the phone by myself at work.

@lolli18 I love that idea. Haha. Our very own ultrasound machine.
@BobbySD345 they can tell, as far as I’m aware, which side you ovulated from because of something called the corpus luteum (I think). Apparently that particular ovary shows something after its ovulated. They could see that I’d ovulated from the right ovary and my Scan with the previous pregnancy x

@peachesarenom I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I went today and I'm supposed to be 6weeks, and I measured closer to 5. It's so hard to tell at such a small size. And if you're behind a day then it may be that it hasn't quite developed. Mine only measures 3mm but did have a heart beat. So they all grow at their own rate.
It's good that they've done bloods. But your baby is defo developing. Look at the progression of the lines.
Sending massive hugs. Keep us posted! Xx

Thank you Cakelaur. I'm glad yours went well.

I'm normally pretty chipper but I feel really angry at epu for not asking me on next week instead. I just feel like ignoring hospital and being preggers on my own.

Well scan is booked 9th may at 8.30pm, I should be 7 weeks +3. 🤞I get to there x

@BobbySD345 how did the scan go x

@peachesarenom we are in the same boat I think. Just been for an early scan and she can see a sac but it looks empty which could be a bad sign but she also said I could have my dates mixed up...I'm sure I have them well recorded so I'm not feeling hopeful anymore 😓 I've got to go back next week. First day of last period was definitely 15th March and I definitely of around 28th because I felt pain on 28th lower left and she said I did of from lower left. Feeling down and can't shake it

@cakelaur you know you said you thought you were 6 weeks and the midwife said 5, were you confident on dates?

@lolli18 see up ^

*ov not of ! Stupid phone 😡

Mate!BobbySD345 we are in the same boat. Last period 15th Match but ov 1st April. Are they gonna repeat your bloods?

@BobbySD345 I am 100% certain when I O'd. I was temping, peeing on 500 opks and have a clear blue fertility monitor. And they all lined up with a lovely temp rise. So I'm really confident. But I do think I implanted late. Cos I had spotting at 12dpo and didn't get a bfp until 15dpo. So I think it was a late implanted which I guess would delay development a little. Who knows. They also said it's so hard to date at this point. But they could see a sac, yoke, fetal pole and flicker or a heartbeat. (All of which I thought you could only see from 6weeks) they said size wise it was small. But they were happy it was all perfect. They obviously see it more than me. So I'm gonna take their word for it. 🤞🏻when you go back next week there will be a nice strong heart beat. From my research, there's a massive difference between 5weeks and 5+5... so even a couple of days out and there are big changes to the baby. Xx

@peachesarenom they didn't do any bloods ! She just said come back in a week and we will have another look.

So my TTC app said predicted ov on 1st but I definitely felt it on 28th which was really early...I'm so confused.

I just googled on another forum and a lot of people have had the same and then gone on to see much more within 7-10 days but I don't know how I'm going to cope with the wait ...

Thank you @cakelaur I really hope you're right. Feeling really down so I've had to get the chocolate buttons out 🙈

I wish they'd said come back in a week to me BobbySD345! I really do think it is lots of crap just too early!
