@bhbee: Thinking of you. When’s your appointment? How far along will you be?

I had healthy NIPT results delivered today which was such a relief. Thinking of all of you during the early, precarious weeks. Time moves so slowly and there is so much worry. Sending all my love and positivity your way. Today at 11 weeks with NIPT I am finally starting to allow myself to get excited, and I hope to cheer all of you on as you reach the milestones you reach.

@ChiCalGoBee: so exciting to get good results! Congrats! I feel like i can also relax a bit then if i make it there (and then worry again as the anatomy scan comes up)

My scan is Wednesday and I’ll technically be 9w but by ovulation expect to measure closer to 8. I’m going to beg to get the nipt in 3 weeks instead of waiting the usual 4 between appts.

@MrsJBeeG: Thank you so much! Can’t wait to hear how your next scan goes!
@bhbee: 4 more days. I’ll be thinking of you and anxiously awaiting your update!!
@periwinklebee: Thank you so much! How are you feeling. You’re almost there!!

Hi guys.

I'm 10 weeks into pregnancy number 5. I've got two kids, I had a miscarriage after my son and another one after my daughter and now hoping this one sticks. My symptoms have been coming and going which is making me super nervous.

I had a good ultrasound at 7 weeks 4 days. And now I just feel so unsure. I was so so nauseous on the 25th and 26th but now I'm feeling fine and it's freaking me out. I have a doctors appt on the 9th and hopefully they can hear the heart beat.

Hope everyone is doing ok! I hate being nervous. We thought we wanted 4 kids but I don't think I can do this again. The anxiety and losses are too much for me to handle

@Mrs. Champagne: hugs not as far along as you but i struggle with the same thing every time i don’t feel awful. Hoping time passes quickly until your scan.

@Mrs. Champagne: stalking this board-- I'm 6.5 weeks but I don't have the guts to join before an ultrasound Just wanted to tell you my good thoughts are with you, and also that my symptoms almost completely cleared up by about 10.5 weeks during my pregnancy with my son. I was really nervous about it as I remembered during my first loss that the lessening of the symptoms was consistent with fetal demise--but that was much earlier. I think a lot of people start feeling better around 10 weeks hang in there.

@LCTBQE: @ChiCalGoBee: @bhbee: @periwinklebee: thanks so much ladies. Your words made me feel a lot better. Hope everyone is having a nice New Year's Day

@periwinklebee: early thank goodness - and it’s the first day back to school for my 5yo so it should be busy enough to move things along until the appt at 9:30.

I don’t know how i feel ... i was freaking out more a week ago, now i am going between thinking “this has to work out” and “no way there’s a healthy baby in there”. I know all the negatives can easily be reasoned away but .... I’ll just be glad when it’s over. I also just thought through that i could have a d&c on Friday if needed because my mom is visiting my brother and could watch my kids. But i thought it kind of in a zen way at least.

@bhbee: I'm glad you got an early appointment - sending so much

@bhbee: Yay!!!! I've been so nervous for you this morning, such wonderful news!!!!! You are right that odds are definitely in your favor now, but I know it is still so hard... NIPT will be here soon - we had ours done at 11 weeks as well, and results back by 12 weeks. Have a good cry, or a good self-pampering, or whatever you need to feel better in the meantime

@bhbee: YES YES YES!!! Congratulations!! What a relief!

I posted on the August due date board. Sadly the embryo stopped developing in the last two weeks so I’m going to miscarry in the future. Not thenews I was hoping for and I don’t know what the future will hold - if we’ll keep trying or not. But I know that all of you ladies are wonderful and I’m so keeping you in my prayers that your babies are healthy and happy!

@MrsJBeeG: I'm so, so sorry Please know if and when you decide to try again that there are so many stories here of women with consecutive losses who finally got their beautiful rainbow babies: @Shantuck: @LCTBQE: @winniebee: and many others. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this

@periwinklebee: thank you! Your message is very sweet and does give me hope. My doctor was very nice and told me it’s likely old eggs and if we keep trying - we’ll get a good one.
He pointed out to me that all looked good with the pregnancy until today so we know we can have kids - which is a good thing. That gave me hope too. I suspect we’ll keep trying after the dust settles from this loss but only time will tell. Thank you for the hope.

@MrsJBeeG: Sorry for your loss. I'm dealing with old eggs as well (I'm 38 and have a diminished ovarian reserve) and was told by an RE that it will be a perseverance game for me. After my first two losses, I had my beautiful daughter and while I can now say that she was worth all the heartbreak, it definitely sucked while it was happening. Sending virtual hugs.

@MrsJBeeG: Oh my goodness I’m so, so, so sorry. Sending so much love during this hard time

@math.nerd: @ChiCalGoBee: @chypmunk:

Thank you. I read your posts earlier and it made me cry - happy tears because of sweet thoughtful friends - perhaps nontraditional friends since we haven’t met - but friends in my mind. I do appreciate it. Probably going to stay away from HB until I work through the emotions, the actual loss and what to do next. I don’t know what we will do as it relates to TTC - I do need to deal with what is happening now I admit. But part of me still feels, even after a day like today - that DH and I are meant to have our own baby and it’s just a matter of time if we keep trying.

Thank you all and my prayers are with you all.

@MrsJBeeG: I'm so sorry for your loss ️

@crazydoglady: you are welcome here! Hoping your sickness shows up this week sending you lots of sticky dust

Ok ladies need some Doppler input. I’m almost 10w which is around the time trouble started appearing in my last loss. So that’s on my mind a ton. But i can’t decide if a Doppler will make things better or worse. I keep wondering what i would do if i couldn’t find the hb one time and how much i would freak out perhaps for nothing. It’s 2w until my next appt.
What was your experience if you used one? Did it cause extra anxiety too
