Woop woop. I'm posting here just cause I can. Even though I haven't officially graduated yet.
I just made a sono and apt to see my doctor on June 17th. I should be 6-7 weeks then so hopefully we can see a HB. Nurse is going to call me back about betas. I think I'm most nervous about that. I don't think I can last over two weeks not knowing if everything is going ok. Pregnancy after loss just sucks!!!!! I want to be excited and enjoy this but I just can't.
hooligans4 I have everything crossed for 100% great betas for you!! I'm sorry that you're feeling anxious... in the meantime we will be excited on your behalf. Keep us posted! :-)
I made my first apt with the OBGYN for the 26th. Ill be 7 weeks 4 days I think at that point. It will be after my last loss point so Im hoping that if we make it that far we will be in the clear. I could have scheduled one sooner but feel like I don't want to ask for time off work for Dr's appointment's if its just going to end in a loss... is that too cynical? I'm not even sure if im going to get any betas done. I did pee on enough sticks to make sure the test line was as dark as the control line however ha ha ha. Im just going to try and relax for teh next three weeks and see what happens. We shall see how that plan goes
I love that @hooligans4 and @rspalding001 are grads now!!! Congrats!!! Hoping for healthy babies!!!
I am 23W 2 days today. Crazy that I'm in week 23!!!
So doing good, getting bigger, but still managing to work. So the hardest part is bending over retrieving something from the floor. I feel like I can't breathe while I bend over. Oh and I found out showering with my hubby doesn't work so well anymore lol!
Every night around the same time he (baby of course) tries to push my rib out of his way, usually gives it two tries. I think he's going to be a creature of habit, he likes to kick the same spot on my belly every morning as I get out of bed. She's my kicker lately. This little one must get crowded when I sit because she kicks the whole time I'm sitting down! Oh we choose our names recently...Nol.an. Isaac. And Mere,dith Olivia (minus the periods of course!)
I'm doing well. I'm 15 weeks 2 days. I started showing about a week ago.... that made it a little more real for me.I have my 2nd trimester checkup tomorrow. I'm sure my dr will give me some grief for not having the amnio today.. oh well. I can't believe I'm in the 2nd trimester already!!! I'm looking forward to see our little guy on the US tomorrow.
Grrrr. My doctors nurse made me mad. She is sending me for an initial blood test but that's it. They think I'm a week later than I am because they are going by a 28 day cycle. Look at my chart lady and see I have has 21ish day cycles all my life. She kept asking my my lmp. If you go by that and a 28 day cycle I wouldn't be due for a period for a few more days yet I've bun turning positives for 5 days already.
@hooligans4, it's so frustrating. The OB office receptionists must think everyone has a 28 day cycle. When I had my first, they kept asking me my LMP. I said over and over, I'm 6 weeks, 3 days (I'd had a freaking ultrasound at the REs office). They insisted on my LMP and I have LONG cycles. She said "Actually, you're 7 weeks, something." I didn't fight it, but in my head I said, "NO! I'm 6 weeks, 3 freaking days!!!"
Can you email your actual doctor and ask for more than one beta??

@emsmama15 when they call on Friday with the results I will ask for another. I will push. If all else fails I will call my neighbor and she can get me a script for a few. I just wish I could have just made three apts and been done with it. Now the earliest I could go for the next is Monday. I know betas won't change anything I just need to know before I go in for the first sono. I can't handle finding out bad news in the office.
@hooligans4 and @rspalding001 congrats again on your BFPs!!!!! I am so excited here and happy you both will be permanent (at least for the next 9 months) fixtures on this post.
18+ weeks here. Baby Boy is doing well. I just got my Quad/AFP results. I had a cell free DNA test and that was normal and the quad came back normal so no neural tube defects like Spinal Bifida. So that is such a relief. Next week is the Anatomy Scan so once we are clear on that, I will be able to relax so much more.
I have been sick and dealing with migraine/cluster headaches. Plus dealing with some major personal emergencies disasters. I know I complain about MH being an asshole because he is but he is for good reasons and it is always for the better of the family. Through this crap we are going through I can go to work and depend, trust, rely on him to get done what needs to be done and make the correct decisions. For a control freak like me...that is huge to say. I am blessed I have an amazing, strong, intelligent, resourceful and determined man standing by my side.
