I've made it - at last!!

hello I've finally made it to the 'other side'. I've not allowed myself to look on here and always thought its a bit like I was snooping on the 6th formers when I was still a first year at school!! I got my +ve result on Thursday after my second attempt. I remember so many of you (Emma, Sarah, Rachel, Shell, Adey!!) from when I cycled with you in March/April. Look at you all now! I still don't really believe it and am not sure when (if ever) you get to start and relax and enjoy being pg! I have my first scan a week on friday and hopefully can see whats inside! Apparently my hcg level was a record for my clinic. It was 628 and they have only ever had results of 200-300. Obviously this then makes me panic that something is wrong, but they assure me its a good sign, just a high probability there could be more than one! I guess this 2ww is harder than the last one! love nikola.xxx

Hi Nikola Congratulations, you must be so happy and I am for you too! I remember and unlike you I have kept an eye on the otherside and have been praying and hoping it was your time!!! My god what a high hsg level I think mine was from memory 175 and I'm as you know am carrying twins, so you never know!!!! Good luck for the scan it is truely amazing what you begin to see but as you've guessed you don't stop worrying and sometimes it's worse than on the 2WW. Well done again and congratulations to you both enjoy!!! LOL Emma x

Hey there girl, Had posted on your other thread, but welcome to this side! Just stay as chilled out as you sounded a lot of the time on the other side and you'll be fine. Just think of that great excuse not to go to the gym, but keep eating the Percy Pigs. (M & S should pay you for advertising!) Big congrats again to you both Zoe x

Hi Nikola Congratulations and welcome to the preggy club! It's fab over here!!

As you say,the worry just get worse from now on, each wait for a scan, etc seeming longer than the last! It's all worth it though, you're in for such an amazing time. Enjoy a happy and healthy pregnancy. I look forward to reading your progress. First one has to be the number of babies, by the sounds of it!!

LOL Helen xx

Hi there, just to add to the others really in welcoming you to the other side! How exciting if there's more than one in there - when is your scan date??? Stay well and relaxed, love Sally xxxx

Welcome welcome!!! It is really amazing when you realise that you will be mainly logging onto this side rather than the other (although of course we all check up on each other from both sides). Its all fun & games now - you think the 2ww is the worst bit but there's plenty more where that came from I can tell you!! The trick is to try to relax with the idea of it and rest especially for the first weeks. All the best, lots of love - Jo. XX

Hi Nikola, I finally figured out where "the other side" is. I know what you mean about not being able to relax and enjoy being pg. I'm really looking forward to the kicks, but I'm probably going to drive the baby (or babies) crazy when I feel they are too quiet and do all sorts of crazy stuff trying to wake them up. I couldn't quite figure out what date your scan is. Is it the 3rd or 10th. I have to wait until the 16th, a week later, because my clinic is closed for a week for a seminar. They would rather scan me later than earlier. I don't feel the same! How are you feeling? I'm a bit queazy and tired, but other than that feeling good. For some reason, I am really wanting to look pregnant. I'm already rubbing my belly all the time although there isn't much there. Take Care, Val

Congratulations!!!! It does sound like twins are likely doesn't it?!! Is it me or are there more and more positive coming through, a very good sign! As the other girls have said, try and relax, drink lots of water/juice and enjoy! Can't wait to hear the results of your scan!!!! D x

Hi Nikola, Glad to see you on 'the other side'! How are you feeling? Have posted on the SCB7 re sickness bands - hope they help! Good luck with your scan on Friday - can't wait to hear how it went! Mine on Monday showed 1 baby, the right size and with a good heartbeat! Take care, Di
