Update: [name_m]Saw[/name_m] my GP this morning. We’re doing beta HCG testing to see if the hormones are rising at the correct rate (steady or dropping HCG would indicate a problem). I had one blood draw today and then will have another on [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]. GP said the fact that I’ve stopped bleeding is a positive sign. I also have an imaging referral, so just need to see when I can get in for a scan (which may not be conclusive this early, but can’t hurt). So for the moment we just have to wait and pray. I might be able to get blood results by [name_m]Friday[/name_m], depending on how busy they are. Thank you for praying for us!

Hi Hello,
this feels like a premature move but I need to say something to someone (other then hubby) - I got a BFP a week ago. I still have yet to call my provider so I’m not 100% sure on dates (July/August seem like the likely). This would be a hopeful #6 pregnancy and #5 earthside. I’m still trying to figure out how to tell the kids and families. This will be the 4th Christmas time announcement. Trying to soak in and enjoy every single day as I do plan on this being our final.

Viability scan done. [name_m]Baby[/name_m] is measuring 6w0d, which is slightly behind my count, but the tech said that’s not a worry at this stage. Heartbeat confirmed at 122 bmp. EDD has been updated to [name_f]July[/name_f] 31st.

Yay!!! Such great news!
[name_f][/name_f]Our first scan is set for the 19th! I almost feel as if some morning sickness and nausea is trying to kick in already! I hope not, as much as I’d love symptoms I also don’t need to be sick!

This is how I feel! Symptoms are reassuring, but I hate feeling sick. I felt so gross yesterday at our work [name_f]Christmas[/name_f] party, which was so frustrating.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Glad[/name_f] you got your scan appointment and didn’t end up having to wait ages! [name_f]So[/name_f] exciting. Fingers crossed for a good result!

I had my 2nd midwife appointment today 
we tried to listen for baby’s heartbeat, but it was still a touch too early to pick it up with the doppler. She gave me a bunch of tools for the crazy symptoms I’ve been having lately. Hopefully, I’ll be feeling more like myself soon

I have my first intake appointment AND ultrasound [name_m]January[/name_m] 2! This is with a new provider from all my previous pregnancies. 
[name_f][/name_f] turns out my previous provider in the very recent months switched what hospital they are affiliated with. When pregnant with my first we picked our provider by first choosing our desired hospital. [name_f]So[/name_f] hubby and I took a day to get over the shock of our predicament and decision but ultimately decided we wouldn’t be comfortable with a new delivery hospital. [name_f]So[/name_f] my new team has placed my due date for now [name_f][/name_f] at [name_f]July[/name_f] 27

Congratulations @SimplySarahBeth It’s so exciting to hear baby’s heartbeat for the 1st time! I had to google what HG is & oh my word! I hope you start feeling better soon!
@love.endures[name_f][/name_f] Been stalking these forums since I was a teenager and I just found out today I’m pregnancy with my first! Been suspecting for a while since I’ve noticed some symptoms and my period just kept not showing up, and today I finally got my positive test! Hoping to have an ultrasound soon to date the pregnancy since my cycle was a bit wacky so I don’t know exactly where I’m at, but my tentative due date is [name_m]August[/name_m] 14th. [name_f][/name_f] I’m so excited!!
