A little update from me!

I’m 11+5 today and this morning we had a Harmony test and also a nuchal scan with blood test. For the Harmony test result we have to wait 7 days, but the results of the scan and combined blood test came back as low risk.

The baby moved and jumped around the whole time during the scan, he/she was super active! We were not expecting this, just amazing to watch! This is a huge milestone after suffering from 3 miscarriages (2 in only 5 months). Still can’t believe I got pregnant naturally the same month of my last miscarriage.

My subchorionic hematoma is looking smaller and they said if I hadn’t asked they would not even mention about it as it looks small.

Now hoping the Harmony test results come back fine but for now we enjoy this milestone!

I'm anxious as the bleeding seemed to stop for a few hours and then started back up again so it's been going for 9days now. But still have some symptoms and another scan this coming Wednesday🤞🤞 just trying to get through the next few days. Lovely to see your update🥰

Mahriya in reply to FrancyItaly

Aww I really hope so 😊 my scan was ok and they said from the size it was 5 weeks and 5 days. I could see a heartbeat to but the sonographer said it was a bit too early and asked me to go back in 2 weeks. Fingers crossed we’ll get a definite confirmation this time. xx

FrancyItaly in reply to Mahriya

It’s great news you saw the flickering heartbeat that early, I also saw it at 5+5! Keep us updated! Xx

Hi just trying to take things day by day, I have booked a scan for Thursday I should be about 7.5 weeks so just really hoping that we get some good news and then maybe I can relax a little xx

FrancyItaly profile image
FrancyItaly in reply to Star241

That’s a good time for a first scan! Let us know how it goes on Thursday but I trust it will be all good! These unexpected miracles after ivf don’t happen for no reason xxx

Star241 in reply to FrancyItaly

Yes the scan place didn’t want me to book before 7 weeks, so let’s hope all is well in there and yes it really is a miracle ❤️🤞

FrancyItaly profile image
FrancyItaly in reply to Star241

That’s wise! My first scan was at 5+5, I wasn’t very happy about it but I needed to do intralipids! Keep us updated 💕

Sunflower35 profile image
Sunflower35 in reply to FrancyItaly

I am ok, thanks for asking! I’m 24 weeks tomorrow and will be going for a private scan since I have been on holiday abroad recently and wanted some reassurance. She moves a lot, which is good, but I’m not used to the feeling yet, it feels like my guts are turning. I’m hoping it becomes more natural with time 😬. Are you finding out the gender? I relaxed much more after I got the results of NIPT. Very excited for you!!

FrancyItaly profile image
FrancyItaly in reply to Sunflower35

Awww you are expecting a little girl 🥰 Did you find out at your 20 weeks scan or with the NIPT? To be honest I don’t care about the gender but I am very very curious!

Sunflower35 profile image
Sunflower35 in reply to FrancyItaly

I found out with the NIPT at 10 weeks (asked the doctor to only tell us the gender if test didn’t find any anomalies). We didn’t mind boy or girl and even considered not finding out at all since we had been through a lot to get here, but I’m also a very curious person and didn’t think I’d be able to hold until the end to find out… It was such a special moment to hear that everything was ok and the gender at the same time 🥰.

FrancyItaly profile image
FrancyItaly in reply to Sunflower35

Yes I can imagine, maybe at that point it starts to feel more real ☺️ What kind of NIPT did you do?

Sunflower35 profile image
Sunflower35 in reply to FrancyItaly

Harmony test as well!

I am just soo pleased to see this 🥰🥰🥰 I really hope the rest of the tests will come back without issue’s and hopefully once past the 12 week you can maybe start relaxing a little bit more after your history of losses. Although if you are anything like me the worry never goes away fully but it does get a little bit easier! And great to hear the hematoma looks so much smaller now and hopefully just disappears and no new ones appear 🤞🏼🥰

FrancyItaly profile image
FrancyItaly in reply to Riri88

I’m sure the anxiety will never go fully away! For now I can be happy for the milestone and I know most people don’t even do a Harmony if they are low risk after the nuchal. What did you decide to do in the end? How is your hematoma doing? 🥰

Riri88 profile image
Riri88 in reply to FrancyItaly

We decided not to have the tests as our risks were low on the screening tests from the NHS and figured even if it was higher I wouldn’t risk more invasive tests anyway and would just see what happens. No reason to spend a lot of money or risk a false positive and stress about it so we left it! Instead paid for an extra private scan at week 17 to check all going well for re assurance.

FrancyItaly profile image
FrancyItaly in reply to Riri88

I know what you mean. I’m doing all the checks under the sun for reassurance! I still have to do the nuchal with NHS next week. Hopefully after all of this I will relax a bit! Xx

I’m feeling pretty good thanks, very heavy! My bump is truly like a bowling ball now so moving around is challenging at times! Still can’t believe this is happening, it’s all very magical after the years of infertility. I’ll never take this for granted and I’m sure you feel the same about your growing bump ❤️ Enjoy the milestones and take it easy x x x

He is called James. He is doing great thank you - he is currently picking up every bug on the planet at baby groups so I got to spend the weekend vomiting 🤦‍♀️😂 So begins 5 years of non-stop illness! xx

Lol! Believe it or not it’s my favourite name (or the only boy name I like) but a friend of mine just called her baby boy Jamie 🙄

Yes I feel a little relieved but soon anxiety will kick back in! Where are you in the process? 💫

MyLittlePinkness profile image
MyLittlePinkness in reply to FrancyItaly

Yeah it probably will, scans only settle the nerves for a few days. 🙄But every little milestone is a step closer to meeting your miracle. 💕I’m lucky, I’m 36 weeks now so not long to go. I only found this forum really when I was very early pregnant this time so I have really only been reading it and not posting much, but I really wish I had found it earlier in my journey , the support here is amazing. I recognise the names at this stage though so it’s great to see positive tests and things moving forward for people. It really is heartbreaking journey 💕

It is, we were not expecting that at all. So strange so see so much movements on screen but no at the same time feel nothing in my tummy! I wonder if he/she is being crazy now too and I just don’t know 🤣 Thank you hun, hope you and your little ones are doing well 🥰

Cinderella5 in reply to FrancyItaly

Yes, that's exactly it....they are literally doing somersaults and we have no idea and it takes soooo long until we do. It's just magical!!🤩🥰 I bet you can't stop lol at your pics. We had a couple of cheapie private scans and I still look back at the videos not believing!! We are doing good thank you.xxx

FrancyItaly profile image
FrancyItaly in reply to Cinderella5

Yes I have around 10 photos and keep looking at them but I must stop because I don’t want to damage them 😂 i took photos of the scan photos with my phone so now I can just watch them on my phone. My husband took a video of the baby kicking and jumping backwards so that’s a plus too. It all sounds so stupid! 🤪
