tarheelmom , how did your appt go?

my 2-year-old DS is also in constant full-blown tantrum mode, btw. last night he flipped (flopping on the floor screaming and kicking) because i wouldn't let him eat a salt dough ornament he made at daycare.

We had a little scare because the dr didn't see an 8w baby, just the yolk sac and maybe the fetal pole (cue tears), then she maneuvered around a bit and suddenly baby was there with a heartbeat of 170!  Measuring a bit behind at only 7w1d (new EDD of 7/25) which concerns me, but she said it looked good and apologized for the scare.  I guess my fibroids distort my uterus making it more difficult to get a clear picture?

That means I got a bfp at only 3w2d, or the baby isn't growing well.  So I will be stressed until the next time we check (11w) because the dr wasn't at all concerned so saw no need to follow up earlier.

I got a bfp at 3w4d and I’m pretty sure I would have gotten one at 3w2d if I didn’t have a faulty test. So I’m very hopeful that you’re actually on track. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9 weeks today! Due 7/12/18


How big is baby? Green olive


Any upcoming appointments? I had my 9 week appointment today and everything looked perfect. Next appointment is in two weeks at 11 weeks.


Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea has lightened up which is nice but also nerve wracking. Exhaustion hasn't at all though.


Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I was hoping to have a relaxing week with both H and DS gone but work has been crazy busy.


GTKY: What is your favorite reality show?
I watch way too much HGTV, mostly as background noise.

I had a bfp with my first at 3w2d so it's definitely possible. FX everything looks good at 11 weeks!

tarheelmom, i wouldn't worry. i had a similar thing happen- i think i ovulated on CD17 and then didn't having implantation spotting until 12 days after that. based on my LMP i was hoping i was going to be closer to 8 weeks at my appointment last week, but the embryo measured 7 weeks 1 day. my OB was not at all concerned and just chalked it up to later implantation.

When is your due date? How far along are you?
8/16, 4w1d


How big is baby?
Poppyseed


Any upcoming appointments?
I haven't called my OB yet, I will on Monday. This is normal, yes? To call right after the pee stick dries. I assume my appt wouldn't be until January. No loss history.

Any new symptoms or changes?
Sore boobs, hungrier but getting full fast, some light nausea

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
I guess just the above re calling for an appointment. I suppose I should buy some tylenol also in case I get a headache.


GTKY: What is your favorite reality show?
I don't usually watch any of them, but the Kardashians can be interesting.

goldenbird, congrats! yes, call to make an appointment soon. i guess it varies by practice, but i think most OBs want to see you between 6-8 weeks to do a dating ultrasound.

kam3100 thanks! We've been calling it a little mouse. We are very excited and relieved after seeing the HB!

tarheelmom I got my first bfp this time at 3w 3d. Try not to worry (I know easier said than done). I'll keep your little babe in my t&ps!

[notmoose]

goldenbird congrats again and yes, call monday. They'll tell you when they want to see you.

With my ds they had me come in at 5w just to pee in a cup and do blood work. I requested to be seen early this time due to previous loss. But a lot of doctors will want you to wait until 6-9 weeks.
