May 2017 Mummies *NEW*

[Pebbles05]

I didn't realise you'd all moved over
I put this on the other forum earlier...

So, I saw the doc this morning so I could be referred to the midwife.
He seemed a bit reluctant to believe that I'm pregnant "so soon" after my miscarriage.
My mc started on 16th July, and he said you can still have enough hcg for a +ve hpt 6-8 weeks after mc and wants to check that wasn't the reason for my bfp with a blood test in 1.5 weeks.

I told him that I track my cycles and I'm fairly certain I ovulated 3.5 weeks ago but he didn't look convinced!
I chart my temps and there was a clear thermal shift and 18 temps above the cover line.
Ah well, at least I'll get to see my hcg count which will hopefully be reassuring.
I know he's just doing his job and GPs don't know the ins and outs of fertility charting.
But he got me a bit worried for a minute that I've made a mistake!

Have you had a period in between? Quite a few people fall pregnant straight away. I tracked my hcg levels from very high down to 0 on hpts after my mmc last time. It did take a very very long time or at least it felt it! But my other mcs were down to 0 hcg very quickly x good luck hun I don't know enough about charting but I'm sure your right x

 

[Pebbles05]

I haven't had a period in between. I think that's what's thrown the doctor, because he doesn't know when to date it from.
That's probably the main reason behind the blood test so they know how far along I am in order to arrange my appts.

When I miscarried, I was supposed to be 8wks, but I think it had stopped progressing earlier than that, so my body didn't have much resetting to do.

How did you track your hcg? I don't know how I would do that?

 

[Pebbles05]

Eryinera - I think that dream is a good omen I hope it works out for you this time.
I've only had one mc, but a lot of ladies here seem to be having a rough time of it.

 

[Eryinera]

Just with pregnancy tests until there was no line left. It's all in my journal how long it took etc.

 

[Pebbles05]

Oh I see. They did a urine test at the EPAC when they confirmed mc and it was a very faint line. She said it was more sensitive than normal hpts, so probably 10ml/u.

Thanks for sharing

Hi ladies! Just got my positives today est due date 10th according when i ovulated. I have a 10 month old little boy and this was our 1st go at properly ttc no2. Not gonna lie in a bit of shock it happened so quick. Took over 2 years to fall pregnant 1st time 😀

 

[missyeovil]

Congrats Vegas, will add you to the list I'm in serious shock too as was my first month off the pill! Last time it took 6 months after coming off it! Really struggling to come to terms with it just now...kinda hoping for a bit of sickness to kick in for reassurance! X

Hi ladies,

Tentatively dipping in too. Got my BFP Wednesday - still in utter disbelief!

I think I'm due around 12th May

 

[snowbee]

Welcome and congratulations to all the new bfps

Are there any first babies out there? I see for several of you this is a second.

 

[vegas]

Still in disbelief today ha ha. This will take a while to sink in. Rang docs this morning and have 1st midwife appointment 2 weeks on monday. ☺

 

[nikkix86]

I need to phone the doctors on Monday. this is baby number 3 for me

 

[nikkix86]

my best friend of 19 years found out she's pregnant the same day as me as well

 

[Eryinera]

Wow congrats that's brill

 

[kayelljay]

this will be my first, due 4th May - excited but still a little in shock as it happened so quick! Going to the doctors on 15th Sept

 

[missyeovil]

Hi ladies,

I think I'm due around 12th May

Congratulations!x

 

[missyeovil]

I can't decide when to let midwives know... they're in general a bit rubbish in my area so not feeling particularly desperate to get in contact with them! I will need to drive 2 hours (plus a ferry) to get to any scans so kinda hoping they will just book me for my 12 week and not an early one! But at the same time I am still in total disbelief and think I need and early scan so I might actually believe it!!x

 

[Eryinera]

I don't know how many 's and I'll end up with Ive been through this so often. If I get to 10 weeks I'm getting a doppler. But I'm expecting the worst hoping for the best.

 

[Piglet's Mama]

This is my third! Still can't believe that. Think I'll ring the docs during the 6th week.

 

[Emily0505]

I'm calling my doctor after I've had my early scan on the 28th.

I didn't see the point in doing it before then- want to make sure everything is all ok first.
