Siouxsie, yes, we chose the NT because of the timing, I just couldn't handle any more of a wait-this whole entire process has been nothing but a wait, so because this was something I had control over, I went with it. As far as I understand, the only advantage of an amnio is spinal cord issues which ...

Hi to all my preggers friends out there. Just want to share my experience with the NT scan with everyone, because if it puts at least 1 ladies mind at ease it will have been worth it. I had my scan on 9/30-the us was good-the nuchal cord measured 1.5-the bloodwork, not so good. At 35, my risk of dow...

Hello again ladies. Hope all is well with everyone. I am exactly 12 weeks today and had my NT scan. It was soooooo awesome. They put the scan on 4-d for a while and I could really see so much. The baby kept waving his/her arms around. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen, and the pictures they ...

Esperanza-Hi, I had been active in this post for a while, and although I still follow everyones great stories almost every day, I havent had much to report on myself. I do want to let you know I have had the same sort of achiness, pulling, and weird sort of feelings going on in my abdomen. This will...

Silverangels-I know I'm not a regular in this post-but I should be-my edd is 4/7/09-I joined the march thread before this one was started. Anyway, I have had brownish slight spotting every couple of days or so since week 5 I have had 5 u/s since then including 1 in the ER cause I was freaking out. M...

Babyloves-also to set your mind at ease, you can always rent a baby doppler-I did with my son who is now 3-and let me tell you-as I am a self proclaimed nancy negative & nervous nelly-it sure put my mind at ease with my 1st & I am already using it again now-it started picking up the heartbeat 2 days...

Babyloves-Just wanted to let you know that my babys hr @ 8 wks was 173, and at 9 wks (yesterday) it was 186-my doc said it was perfect! Not too high at all!! Guess nobody has been posting much because we are sort of at a standstill right now. I saw my ob today, no us (next week) since my re did one ...

Already blessed, congrats on the twins-also I can tell you that my little one measured 6 wks 4 days at 6 wks 6 days-my doc said that as long as there was a hb-and that the baby had grown since the week b4 that there is no reason to be concerned-that nothing is a perfect science & that they all grow ...

Hi ladies. Glad to see everyones had great news, and I am so happy to add to it! My u/s today let me see the heartbeat for the 1st time!!! So exciting! 173 beats per minute-fast & strong the nurse said. I felt like I could breathe a sigh of relief if just for a second. Next u/s not for 2 weeks, I wi...

Hi to all my new friends! Figured I'd give you all my update. My u/s was today-1 embie-everything looks great according to the doc-they saw the yolk sac but no h/b yet, I was so dissapointed I wanted to cry-I am measuring 5 wks & 6 days & they said that in many cases it is too early to see it at thi...

AMAZU-thanks for the advice, & congrats to you too. I couldn't stand worrying all day, so I called my doc-he said that is perfectly normal too, and he isn't concerned about the discharge. (easy for him to say!!) Anyway, I am keeping positive and hoping for no cramps or real bleeding. He said what I ...

Thanks for the info...This waiting to know is driving me crazy!!! I want to be happy but every little twinge or ache in my body makes me feel like I could be miscarrying. When I woke up this am & peed, I had a slight amout of like a light tan color on the toilet paper. No cramping & nothing else sin...

I would love to join you ladies with a few worries & questions of my own. I had IVF with ICSI transfer on 7/18/08, I didn't even know to ask about my hcg levels until my third one was done on 8/6/08-2398-Is that a good number according to what any of you know? I know the nurse said the numbers look ...
