Hellobee Boards

@narwhal: @plainpistachio: sharing birthdays with babies is fun! DD1 was born on my bday, even though she was more than 3 wks early!!

@Mrs. Sunshine: I'm so sorry to hear this. Hope you gets some answers soon.

@dragonsword: It's only 10am (and I got 8.5 hours of sleep last night) but I feel like a zombie at work. I did have coffee which is helping a little but I think in the next few days coffee is going to start sounding gross to me (I couldn't drink it from 6-16 weeks with my first!) Which is a bummer when I'm SO tired! Nausea started more consistently for me yesterday, 6 weeks on the dot. UGH.

@Mrs. Sunshine: I'm so sorry, just saw your other post. I also went through this in October and that time my sac was empty at 7.5w, then at 8.5w there was a heart beat but measuring 6w and at 10w it was completely empty again. That was even worse for me cause I had some false hope in there. I don't want to give you false hope but since I'm going through the same thing I have been reading lots of stories and have found positive outcomes for empty sacs in weeks 6-8. I know that in the majority of cases it doesn't turn out well. While, I still cling to a slight sliver of hope, I'm also in the mindset that I hope I just have a natural miscarriage this time so I don't have to deal with misoprostol again or a D&C. I wish there weren't so many of is going through this. Hugs to you. I wish you all the best this week while you wait for a definitive answer. Hug your LOs close and lean on your DH for support.

@Mrs. Sunshine: I'm really sorry. Thinking of you

@Mrs. Sunshine: I'm so sorry to hear the scan didn't go well. Thinking of you!

@delight: Is your scan this week? I've been thinking of you also. I'm holding out hope

My uterus is quite tilted, and the tech had to move the wand around quite a bit (internal) to find the babe snuggled way up in the corner.

@narwhal: I have a very tilted uterus. When I had my HCG and hysteroscopy he had to clamp my cervix in order to get the camera into my uterus. Ouchy. My scan is Thursday afternoon. Thanks for thinking of me!

Also when I had my scan a couple weeks ago, he didn't look long. I could clearly see an empty sac but I wonder if it was the angle? It was like 5 seconds long.

@narwhal: it is going to be the same Doctor. My fertility doctor does my scans so it's not just a tech. That's why I am worried he knew what he was doing and it was really empty. But everyone can make errors and it was still somewhat early. I was only measuring 6.5 weeks. We shall see in a few days. I am definitely going to remind him of my tilted uterus and ask him to take a long, hard look!!

@delight: My next appointment is Thursday as well. I'll be thinking lots of positive thoughts for you!

@rara0614: good luck at for appointment too!
@narwhal: thank you so much. It's so nice to have so many cheerleaders!
@LovelyPlum: thanks lady. You're always such a good support. I don't know how I'll pick myself up if it still shows an empty sac but I've gotten through it before so I suppose I will again. Thanks for the thoughts.

@littlebear16: Congrats and welcome! I feel like your doctor appointment is really far away? Won't you already be 11 weeks by then?

I just had my blood test today and my "uterus feels about 6 weeks" I think its crazy that doctors can feel and tell that...
My next appointment is on the 20th and I'll have my first scan.
Bread and butter is delicious to me which was the same when i was pregnant with my son!

@littlebear16: Welcome and congratulations!

@littlebear16 welcome! Congrats! I'm at 5 weeks too. I appreciate the way you've articulated that you're tired, yet not sleeping well at night. I'm experiencing that right now myself and I thought it was odd. I'll be sooo tired and I'll crash out, only to wake up a few hours later. I don't yet have a ton of symptoms. Just sore boobs and tired, yet waking up all through the night.

I had my first food aversion. My husband made some giant grilled chicken wings that were nice and garlicy, something I'd have eaten a few weeks ago. But I didn't like the smell of them when he brought them in. I gave them one bite and knew immediately that I couldn't do it. Walked to the trash and spit it out. He thought it was funny.

@winniebee: thank you. I'm so nervous. I keep imagining positive outcomes in my head. I just want so badly to post a picture here tomorrow of a little babe measuring right on track.

@delight: thinking of you!

I had my first absolutely pathetic and ridiculous pregnancy meltdown yesterday. I didn't even recognize myself!

I haven't really had nausea, but the food aversions are SO real and the struggle is horrible. I love cooking and meal planning, but dinnertime absolutely stresses me out because thinking of food is a chore and stressful, especially dinner foods. So I got it in my mind I wanted pizza yesterday, and asked my husband, and when he said that he didn't want pizza and that he wanted something a bit healthier, I was agreeable and he decided to pick up chicken burgers. He mentioned that this dinner thing is getting frustrating, because I'm sending him to the grocery store daily, when we have food at home.

When we hung up I BURST into a sobbing mess of tears over the pizza I wasn't going to have, the stress of the aversions, the fact that I'm constantly leaving my husband hungry because he has to come home and cook dinner (I work from home and used to always have dinner cooking when he came home from his physically taxing job). Anyway, he came home to my sobbing mess, and we both laughed at the ridiculousness of it all, while I continued to cry. And then I cried when dinner was served again.

Oy, pregnancy.

@kes18: ha! I wonder if a 6 week uterus "feels" the same as a normal uterus then! I'm really surprised about that!

@delight: Thinking about you and hope you received some good news today. xoxo

All I have to say is Holy Crap my luck has turned!
Had a wonderful follow up scan after my empty sac at 7 weeks. It's been two weeks and as soon as he started the scan I could see the babe! Measuring perfect at 9w. I don't know how this is even possible! Thanks all for your positive energy!

@delight: oh my god!!!!!!! Best news ever!! I'm guessing it wS the tilted uterus!! I didn't want to give false hope but I have one and it takes some maneuvering to see the baby on transcagonal ultrasound!!!

@delight: Just popped back into say a million congratulations - I am thrilled for you! Happy and healthy 9 months to you all!
