Hey wishmeluck...I have my first appt next thursday...I am starting to calm down a bit now and not quite as terrified! My husband was like you don't seem very excited..but my fear was overtaking the joy. I finally have relaxed and pray! I had a miscarriage about 10yrs ago...then was single for many years before remarrying my younger husband. I pretty much had given up with my blocked tube and my ma__s of fybroids but this miracle has happened and I am so happy. I feel very well, no sickness at all, just hungry all the time ;) I am also trying to get as much rest as I can. Keep me posted on your Drs. appt. I will be thinking about you!

It is hard to relax and just enjoy it but with everyday that pa__ses it steps closer to that everythings ok zone:). I'm very happy for you both, it really is an exciting time and once we get over the hump it will be time to relax and enjoy. What week will you be at your 1st visit? I have my first on tues and I will be 7 wks. I'm really hoping for an ultrasound so I will know things are progressing as they should . Keep me posted with your visits too . It really is nice to have someone going thru the same thing. Best wishes and prayers for your upcoming appt! Sara

Sara, Definitely great to have someone going thru the same thing...cause we both know exactly how each other feels. I have no one to really understand my concerns. I will actually be in between my 7th and 8th week when I at the Drs appt so we are very close. I am sure we will both feel a bit more relief when we get through that. I will pray for you as well..and BIG HUG! ;) I will be anxious to hear how it goes next week for you as much as me! It will be nice to have someone to compare notes with...I am very clueless on alot since I have never had any children yet, so this will be interesting people a__sume because of my age I should just know this stuff...lol, I can only go on others hear say...but I am sure I will figure it out as I go! Best of Luck to you and I will check on you next week! Cindy

Sara..WHEW HEW! That's fabulous News! I was thinking of you earlier and anxious hoping you would post. I spent this morning gathering my medical records from my most recent ultrasound (which shows nothing really but fybroids since it was so early) I also even got the records from the pregnancy I had 13yrs ago with all the information on my ruptured cyst and emergency surgery which resulted in a miscarriage a few weeks later. I want to go with as much information to share with the Dr. as possible! It's strange I look at the reports from when I was 31 and I am actually healthier now...even with the age and extra poundage..lol. Then I was hypoglycemic, anemic, and asthmatic. I don't have any of that now! I actually feel great. I just have tremendous bloating--it has to be bloating I would think, I actually had to buy maternity pants this past weekend! I shouldn't be showing this much at just the 8wks so It must be my fybroids! That's ok though I can deal with that as long as my lil "Bean" is good! I will post Thursday evening when I get home. I am sooooo happy for you. And optimistic for myself! Sorry I ramble on..lol! I am a chatty patty! Once again..Yippee, Yahoo, And a big.Congratulations! Cindy

Wow it seems you've been through Alot! This is much deserved so enjoy it , bloating and all, lol. I'm thicker around the middle too and I'm a week behind you! I find if I wear low rise pants I can still pull it off for now anyway. This is when you cringe when you get on the scale at the doctors office. I'll be thinking of you and hope to hear the good news after your appt! Thank you for the support it really is greatly appreciated.

Hi Cindy and Wishmeluck, So encouraging to hear your good news. I got my periods back after miscarriage and we are trying this month. I am now 43 yrs. Hope like last time I get pregnant immediately and have good healthy pregnancy. Did you have any vits or anything? Thank you.

 

Wishmeluck - April 7

What do you mean by vits?

 

PixByCindy - April 8

I was going to ask the same ?...I don't know what that is..so I guess I haven't had it?..lol. Definitely will be thinking of you Angelmary3 hoping things go for you as planned. Todays my Drs appt...I didn't sleep at all last night!...EEEk. I will post later and catch you up!

 

Kristin72 - April 8

Cindy, I've been thinking of you hope you're ok, sara

Hey Sara....not so good news. I finally stopped crying. It was strange when I read your post after your appt and you said something about an empty sac and I thought to myself.."What in the world is that?..and how could that happen"? Well, they saw nothing but the sac on my u/s. I was so scared when I saw the black bean shaped but was seeing nothing else and I could tell something was wrong when the u/s tech kept dancing around my ?s., Then the Dr advised afterwards they believed it was an empty sac. I don't think I have ever felts such dissapointment or sorrow. They took blood work to check my hcg levels, and advised they would call after they got those numbers to determine the next step. Well...my HCGs were near 30K! But they said they were not picking up a heartbeat. However, it was conflicting info to them since I have had no bleeding, not spotting, feel pregnant..look very pregnant and obviously my hcgs are at the normal rate they should be for my est due date. So they had me come back first thing this morning and I saw another Dr he advised he would wait another week take more hcgs and another U/S then take it from there. He said there is a slight chance something was missed...again ?ng how my HCGs could be so high. I felt more at peace knowing there may be a slim chance. He was realistic, optimistic and I just felt he was understanding...he said things can be missed I then advised him of everything I read on a blighted ovum and how it is often misdiagnosed with women that have retroverted uterus's which I actually have-somehow it can sometimes affect the view in the u/s. He agreed and that mistakes can be made and we could hope in this case there was one or somehow it was missed. I don't feel as sad as I was yesterday. I know things happen for a reason, however doesn't mean I have to like it. I did feel better that he was not instantly doom and gloom! It was still such a horror to not see the baby I am so longing for., knowing that my days are numbered with my age, it saddens me so. I am just praying for the best and trying to be more at peace with whatever happens.

I've been thinking of you since thurs. Hoping and praying you would have an easy appt. When I didn't hear anything I started to get nervous. It really is confusing with all the signs pointing to a healthy pregnancy esp with the hormone levels. As you said maybe he or she is hiding. They are about the size of a small grape right now so it wouldn't be difficult. I know it's probably hard to stay positive but you should. Stranger things have happened. When's your next appt? I am here if you need to talk and or support. Big hug to you!

 

Wishmeluck - April 9

Not that I should be talking about this yet but I did have a miscarraige in dec and got pregnant again 3 mths later. You can obviously get pregnant so please don't lose hope. I don't know this one still sounds viable to me....Too many positive signs. Keep me posted and try to stay positive! I'll be thinking of you.
