I'm totally thread crashing here, BUT was away from TTC thread for such a long time I never really got to give proper CONGRATULATIONS to many of you.

I'm so incredibly happy for all of you ladies.  You are in my thoughts and prayers daily.  Here's to a healthy, happy 9 months and beyond! 

And PS:  just so you know, I will be lurking.         (or hopefully joining you soon!)

Rainey Daye-- As for your email account, you can always set up a new email address, tell everyone that you can think of, then have your old email address forwarded to your new one. That way you don't miss anything! I've changed my email address sooooooo many times. :-)

[CorgiMommy]

Im officially freaking out now, OB office just called to tell me 'yes it looks like you are pregnant'.  To witch I replied, yes I know, what is my BETA's?  The receptionist replied ' 320'.  That is what it was last Monday!!!  OB in theatre and will call me back later.  I am histerical.

And to top it all my car broke down on my way home this morning and me and DS had to carry all our shopping home.

Help please.......

[slshoe128]

Corgi- Ok, sounds like the receptionist gave you the wrong results....considering it was the EXACT same number and she was letting you know that it looks like you're pregnant....with my second beta results my OB had to call the lab to track them down because they weren't in the computer yet..maybe the same thing is going on with you. Hang in there:) KUP Hope your doctor calls very soon to clarify everything. So sorry you are going through this....you don't need any added drama!!!

AFM- I'm still waiting on my 3rd Beta results....I left my OB a message since she didn't call yesterday, just hope she returns my call before 5pm today.....ahhhh

[CorgiMommy]

I called yesterday and asked if they got new results - so it is the new results, I made her go look at my file and she got my old results were there.

Im falling appart right now.

[slshoe128]

Corgi- I'm sorry, I just don't know. I've never heard of numbers staying the same...I always thought that they either go up or down...maybe you can have another blood draw to determine what is going on? I'm sooooo sorry for the confusion. HUGS!

[M Anna]

Corgi: I'm sending you big hugs. I don't know what's going on, but the odds of the number being exactly the same are infintessimal. If it were even two or three off I would feel more convinced. Is your doctor going to call today? The clerk might not realize how bizarre the "results" are, but the doctor would. I feel like your old labs got printed off again or something.

[thecountrymouse]

Oh CorgiMommy- How frustrating!  What an awful day.  I am sending you a HUGE hug and praying for clarity and a healthy baby.  

With lots and lots of love- Violet

[zubeldia]

oh, corgi, I honestly can't believe that these results are accurate. Surely there must be some mix-up either with your Dr's office or the lab. It doesn't seem remotely reasonable that they would be the same. I hope you get some answers fast. Sending hugs.

Calebsmommy... from the looks of things you could very well be joining us!? I'm stalking you

Stacey, what are they thinking? It seems really not-okay that they wouldn't have a system in place so that you could find out your results in a more timely fashion. Surely they must realize how anxiety inducing this all is.

V, how are you doing this morning, love?

MAnna, the note that your boy left you was so precious... What kind children you have.

EK, hope your DS slept better last night?

My own DS came home from nursery yesterday really poorly. It was a terrible night and I am not exaggerating when I say I was up every 20-30 mins with him. He was sort of still sleeping but crying. I am exhausted this morning. I did have acupuncture with one of my Dr's this morning (he's an integrative MD and fabulous!) and that was great. When I was pregnant with DS he helped me with my hypnobabies scripts and imagery, too. I do have a wee bit of a crush on him I also feel really pretty sick this morning but I do think the fatigue has a lot to do with it. I almost gagged when getting out of the shower, though. I'm hoping this is a good sign. Also DS is not enjoying his milks. Am I right in thinking that breastmilk changes in taste when you're pregnant? Poor boy.

Corgi, here's an extra hug.

[thecountrymouse]

Zubeldia- What a rough night!  Can you nap or is that a joke?  

I slept 10 hours last night.  I had such a crappy day.  Such high emotion.   I needed all that sleep.  

I am going to try to take it easy today, or at least my version of easy.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers -Violet

[zubeldia]

ugh, V, I can't nap, sadly. It's my teaching day and I wont' get home until almost 8 tonight. How I will get through the day is a mystery. But the 10 hours sounds fabulous and I will channel that rest! I am so sorry that you're feeling so overwhelmed with emotion. I am right there with you. I just can't believe how terrifying this is.

Corgi, you're constantly on my mind.

I did mean to say that we will find out the gender (if this works out). We found out with DS and it was a great moment. We had the sonographer but a card we'd made into an envelope (boy/girl card) and then we went out to breakfast and opened it. It was a total shock as I was really sure I was having a girl. DH took photos of me opening it and the shock on my face is so funny! It was really special. So we're hoping, hoping we get to do something similar but with DS there.

Oh, and every time I think like this I feel more anxious about it not working out. I cannot wait until this month is over.

[Gemmine]

Thinking of you Corgi! 

[TandN]

Finally found this thread and took way too much work time to catch up on you all . Nice to 'see' you all in one place after that BFP explosion!! Not sure I can do all the persies now, but I will try.

Corgi- I am thinking of you!! It HAS to be some sort of mix-up, I agree with Zub.

Zub- It sounds like a crazy day for you, I hope you can get through with lots of snacks and breaks and maybe an in class assignment?

V- That 10 hours sounds heavenly! I slept on and off almost all day Sunday, and it was glorious.

Anna- I missed toe due date! So sorry to not post something then, but I have been thjnkig about you and am so so happy for your BFP. I hope your insurance stuff gets figured out quickly.

Rainey- I'm so glad you passed that first milestone, but it must be so difficult to be in the time you shod have been pregnant with your previous two losses. It's so hard. (((Hugs)))

Stacey- I'm so happy you're here too!! I hope this is your take home, grow up, outlive you baby!! I wish they would get those results back soon!

Ek- it's great to hear your update, glad the most recent scan showed such an active babe! I'm with you on the milestones...our late losses create an ever present fear. But, we WILL get there! These are our take home babes!!

Sorry and Hi to anyone I missed!

AFM- Well, 8 weeks tomorrow with an EDD of May 17th. I'd love to say it's been a breeze, but we all know the trials of the early weeks. So far, I've had three scans. Two were planned, one was because I freaked out yesterday. The first, at 5w5days, they couldn't see the heartbeat yet, just a yolk sack. The next one, a week later, the babe had grown and was measuring 6w4days with a good (130) heartbeat. The day after that u/s, I had some rust colored discharge (my discharge overall has been WAY more than my last pregnancy), so of course I was worried and called. When I got the same rust colored discharge yesterday (oddly both occurred after somewhat intense exercise, so that could have something to do with it). They got me in for a scan within a couple hours and found the babe and heartbeat right away (this time measuring 7w5days and 158 hb). Relief does not begin to describe it. Everyone in the office knows me and was really understanding and kind. Our nurse gave me a big hug and said 'We were prepared for this when you told us you were pregnant, weren't you?'. . I did have to get a Rhogam shot because I'm AB-.

So, my next appointment is October 20th. If I can go that long without another freak out.

Hugs to everyone, I know this is such a rough but exciting time!!

[CorgiMommy]

Hi, thanks for all the thoughts.  The receptionist made a mistake, and OB called me. The results are 3690.  Don't know what happened but she apologized.

I am emotionally drained, but all is well.  Thank you everyone.

Will come back for pressies later.

[TandN]

Great news, Corgi!! Thanks for the update!!

[ekandrmkb]

Corgi - whew! I just got on and read the down and then up with your news! So relieved. My vote was on incorrect info, so glad it was true. What a relief.

Zub - hope you can get some sleep sometime tonight, at least. Is DS feeling better today?

TandN - so great to "see" you!

I know there is more, but I can't review what I read because of how I logged on here - I can only see where I'm typing - ha.

AFM - well, I got REALLY sick last night. Just nauseated like crazy. Couldn't get off the couch due to feeling like I was going to vomit. Went to do that a couple of times, but no go (which is fine with me because I HATE throwing up). However, this meant DH had to cancel his plans - and he was frustrated. We talked it over (via email, while we were both at work) this morning, and I think we're okay - there have been times where I haven't felt as bad as I did but was down a lot, and he's ended up canceling going out - and he was trying to see if I could make it on my own last night...it was obviously not going to happen, so he got disappointed (He wanted to network with film types, it was a film festival/networking thing so good for his career potentially). I reminded him that he could TAKE A TURN with this pregnancy ANYtime he wanted...but I was physically drained and I'll be progressively going more emotionally crazy as time goes on, so I'll really need his help. Luckily, he's an extremely helpful guy and supportive, so I know he's usually there for me. DS did sleep through the night though - whew.

And, I called today to find out when I can get results for the nuchal test/blood draw for Downs, and it's going to take until next MONDAY. Grr. My next appointment is next week Thursday. I'm going to call Monday to get an update, as DH doesn't want to tell anyone (including DS1) until we at least get those results. I'm just getting nervous that if the numbers look bad, I will have to gear up for CVS/amnio, and I'm really not fond of needles. Particularly HUGE needles like they use for amnio! Eek. Has anyone here gotten one of those?

Anyway, I'm just trying to keep the nausea at bay today - usually starts to hit post-lunch, so we'll see how today goes. It's gorgeous outside, so I'm hoping to take a walk and escape from work shortly.

Hope everyone else's day is going well.

[M Anna]

Fly-by to say: I knew that couldn't be right, Corgi! Whew! I know you feel a lot better but probably pretty limp too.

Back later for persies.

[Rainey Daye]

Well, this morning had a decent amount of spotting after intimacy, but it was all brown...so I'm thinking it may have been from the other day and just didn't come out then. I tell you what...I do NOT like spotting, even old spotting, with the losses that I've had still so fresh!! I'm not super worried about today's spotting (and it's already stopped)...I just have a hard time seeing blood in any sort of situation right now!! I even cleaned my poor abused nose the other day (with this lingering head cold it's been wiped a lot) and when I saw a tiny bit of blood on the tissue I kind got nervous till I realized it wasn't from anywhere in the vicinity of the baby...but yeah...blood doesn't sit well with me these days!!

[slshoe128]

Corgi- What a relief! ...sorry you had to go through that, but soooo glad everything is good!

AFM- OB FINALLY called at 4:15 today.....my number was good it was almost 4,000. So, on to the u/s appt next week on the 11th.

[M Anna]

Good news, Stacey!
