Fingers crossed all is fine @Celina94 💕

Fortheloveofscience · 16/09/2021 20:08

Really hope everything's ok @Celina94 and that you're seen soon.

Celina94 · 16/09/2021 20:11

You girls are the sweetest i am honestly so grateful. My blood test results came back fine and hcg was at the level they'd expect it to be at. No infections or anything they are concerned about. I have a ultrasound scan tomorrow at 10am to check further but i feel more positive knowing my hcg levels are still high. Praying for a miracle xx

ninadust · 16/09/2021 20:14

That's great news @Celina94, so happy it was positive results!!!!!! Xxx

Hope91 · 16/09/2021 20:17

@Celina94 that sounds really positive I am so relieved have been thinking of you all evening. Really hoping that the scan goes well for you tomorrow sending lots of love your way x

maymum94 · 16/09/2021 20:27

@Celina94 oh I'm so glad to hear I've been waiting for your update. Hope the scan goes well and you can enjoy hearing your little one. Rest up tonight and take it easy Xxx

Hi everyone! Hoping I can join this thread please? Just caught up on everything and @Celina94 that must be a big relief, good luck with tomorrow I’ll be thinking of you! I wish we could skip ahead to 12 weeks just to know everything is okay!!

I got my BFP on Sunday at 14dpo and it was pretty strong! Was so nice to see after trying for just over a year.
I think I’m 5 weeks tomorrow so will be due on around 20th May 2022 Smile. So far I haven’t had many symptoms, just really sore boobs and needing to wee all the time. This will be my first baby, when does the nausea usually kick in?

@Celina94 that sounds positive. Hope it means you can get a decent night's sleep before your scan tomorrow.

Fortheloveofscience · 16/09/2021 20:49

@Celina94 that's sounding positive, will mr everything crossed for you in the morning.

I'm quite proud of myself - just managed a whole day at work in London and dinner with a friend in the evening. Think I'm going to have to go straight to bed when I get home though!

Positive21 · 16/09/2021 20:52

@Mmay congratulations! I'm 6+3 with no signs of nausea 😅

@Celina94 that sounds very hopeful 🥰

florencebunny · 16/09/2021 21:40

@Celina94 so pleased it's good news and hope your scan tomorrow goes well! Thinking of you!xxx

florencebunny · 16/09/2021 21:41

@Mmay congrats and welcome!💖

StinWom · 16/09/2021 21:48

@Celina94 that sounds very positive, fingers crossed!

I finally called the hospital today and was told that my initial MW appointment had been booked for September 29th so quite happy to finally have a date!

On another topic, we told my parents yesterday and they’re very excited about it. I was trying not to project too much until my first scan on Sunday (at 7+4) but they can’t help it, they were already talking about names! They got me very hopeful, I will be devastated if something is wrong at the scan. It feels very real now!

RosettaTheGardenFairy · 17/09/2021 05:05

Good morning all

It's been a while since I posted, my nausea has gotten the better of me

@celina94 - good luck with your scan, thinking of you

@SerendipitySunshine & @aNewYorkerInLondon - I posted over a week ago about nausea and you both kindly offered advice which I didn't acknowledge, my apologies, I've only just checked the thread again. Thanks for the tips.

I hit a particular low point this week when I sat working on the landing all day so I could be closer to the bathroom Sad thankfully I'm WFH and no signs of going back to the office yet

I was also really sad that both my DCs have seen me vomiting so much, and my eldest in particular seems concerned that I'm so sick. 3 times we tried to leave the house on Tuesday to get to daycare and school and we had to rush back inside so I could be sick. One more week till my midwife appointment, just trying to focus on that for now.

Hope everyone is well xx

Sarah239 · 17/09/2021 07:15

@Celina94 Thinking of you and hoping your scan brings good news! Keeping everything crossed for you. Hang in there xx

@Mmay Hi! welcome to the thread! I am due 21st/22nd and have same symptoms as you - tender boobs and weeing a lot, didn't expect the weeing so soon really! No nausea yet, just a bit tired also and struggling to concentrate. We were trying for over 2 years and I had booked first IVF appointment 5 days before I found out I was pregnant...! So I know the relief you feel. I'm feeling very anxious too but just hoping my little bean sticks and that all is well. Congratulations xx

Positive21 · 17/09/2021 08:10

Why do I do this to myself? I'm now reading up on blighted ovums and scaring myself that I'll get to my early scan and it all have been for nothing. Anxiety is such a nightmare, I hate it! Even if that is the case, getting an earlier scan won't change anything. I just see people getting scans between 6-7 weeks and am kicking myself I said to wait to 8+3 but I know it won't make any difference and if all is well (as I should be telling myself it will be!) then it will be better waiting a little longer.

This limbo is nightmarish! Just trying to ignore it all and count down the days to my early scan. 2 weeks to go 😅

MarmaladeToastAndAMarmaladeCat · 17/09/2021 09:27

I’m feeling the same @Positive21. My scan is tomorrow and feeling really nervous. I would rather know sooner than later if something isn’t right but I’m so worried there will be nothing there tomorrow. I know it’s hard waiting but at least with your scan at 8 weeks you should be able to see a lot compared to a couple of weeks previously. In my first pregnancy I had one at 7 weeks and saw a fuzzy blob with a heartbeat, and had another one a week and a half later (was stressed as symptoms stopped) and saw a proper little baby.

@RosettaTheGardenFairy sorry you are suffering too. Have you told your children you are pregnant out of interest? I haven’t yet I want to wait until at least the 12 week scan and mine have definitely noticed I’m being sick and keep asking if I’m ok.

@Celina94 great news about the hcg levels, hope all is ok.

Hope91 · 17/09/2021 10:01

@Celina94 thinking of you with the scan today sending lots of love and positivity your way xx

Celina94 · 17/09/2021 10:41

So happy girls - ive cried and cried and cried! Your prayers and well wishes and hopes heard and baby is there with a healthy heartbeat. They measured me 6 weeks 4 days. Couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for the support on here I'm so happy I can stay in this lovely community. I guess I am one of those ladies who bleed heavy and bright red in early pregnancy and everything is ok! Just like @ninadust ! Thank you so much again hope your days go well. And you were right about the amazing feeling @maymum94 seeing your baby and it's heartbeat for the first time! Truly amazing.

Due May 22
Sarah239 · 17/09/2021 10:56

@Celina94 I am so happy for you! What a lovely feeling to see your little one and a heartbeat! Take it easy now as you've had a rollercoaster 24hrs!

Etonmess20 · 17/09/2021 10:56

@Celina94 oh I'm so happy to hear everything's fine & what a lovely picture ❤️
