Anyone else at similar stage? Thought I would be excited about this result but actually seems to make me feel more anxious! Think it’s just the wait ahead to see if things progress or not - or if your line is too faint…. 😳

Yay congratulations!!!!

[Cutecolliedog in reply to Doodlebug23]

Thanks! I hope you get yours too soon 🙏 x

[Doodlebug23 in reply to Cutecolliedog]

I feel like my period is on its way. ☹️

[Cutecolliedog in reply to Doodlebug23]

Oh no 😢 I hope not x

[Doodlebug23 in reply to Cutecolliedog]

Yeah I know. I so wanted to be your test day and pregnancy buddy and I’m letting the side down 😕

congrats!!!

[LSandJ]

Ahhhh Congratulations, I've been thinking of you and wondering your result since I saw you went again!!! are you getting betas this time? X

[Cutecolliedog in reply to LSandJ]

Thanks! Hope your pregnancy is still going well - you must be due soon?? Yes I’ve literally just sent away my medichecks test this morning 🤞 really hope for an ok result x

[LSandJ in reply to Cutecolliedog]

You went for a double as well didn't you??? So the Beta could potentially tell a lot!?! Eeek!!! Mine was 2190 on day 13. Yes almost due (well... It's a bit complicated with two, I'm actually only 30 weeks but they could be coming soon, I finish work in 3 days, so I'll either have a long time nesting if they let me go to 37/38 weeks, but they could decide to deliver at 34 and that would mean in a little before that for some steroids!) most twin mums I've spoken to delivered at 35 weeks though, so just got to go with the flow and see what happens.

I have everything crossed for you!!!

[Cutecolliedog in reply to LSandJ]

Yes I did do a double transfer 😊 not convinced two have stuck as my 9dp5dt test said 1-2 wks on the clear blue and I think that means my levels will have been <150! I would be super happy with one I don’t mind as long as I get a baby!!

How exciting! Has your pregnancy gone ok? That must be so exciting being so close! Do you know the gender yet? xx

[LSandJ in reply to Cutecolliedog]

We're not finding out genders! Going for a surprise!!I didn't do the weeks one so no idea, but absolutely one would be amazing! The logistics and high risk nature of two is a nightmare now we're in it. But of course we're very happy too. Just a lot to navigate!

Pregnancy has gone very well and we've been v lucky. No negative symptoms until the last few weeks! Although now we're talking I do remember the painful days at the beginning! I'd forgotten about those! But I didn't have any sickness or anything too bad!

I now have a few issues down there and terrible heart burn, I'm also at the stage where it's hard to put on my shoes, despite not actually being very big! I can't remember the last time I slept through the night! But I am very OK with all the symptoms! They are reassuring that it's working and going OK! And altho we also have a growth issue with one of the twins I feel like all should be ok even if we delivered now!! We are packing hopsiatl bags, washing clothes, moving the cot around etc. Really getting ready, so it's exciting (if also a little overwhelming!)

When do you expect your beta back?

[Cutecolliedog in reply to LSandJ]

Oh amazing! That would make me so stressed for trying to pick a name 🙈 how exciting though. When I was doing research the higher risk seemed to be at the end of twin pregnancy is there a particular week that they’d really like you to get to? Obviously the longer they hold off the better! With the growth difference are they just monitoring for now?

Just got my hcg back as 223 so not crazy high but I think it’s high enough to be ok for now 🤞 we will just need to wait and see … I’m feeling quite nauseous already and have been since day 5 weirdly (I thought maybe I was making it up but actually do t think I am!)

[LSandJ]

Yay great number for day 9!!! Everything crossed for you xxx

[Cutecolliedog in reply to LSandJ]

I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well please keep me updated 🥰 sending my second beta away today just to check my levels are increasing ok x

[LSandJ in reply to Cutecolliedog]

I was totally going to ask if you were sending off for a second! But I didn't want to worry you if you weren't!Let me know the number when you get it. I feel invested!

Its my last day at work today as we have half term and then mat leave starts! It's a big mix of big feelings!

[Cutecolliedog in reply to LSandJ]

That’s so exciting!! Enjoy your last day 😁 I will definitely let you know although likely won’t be until Monday till I hear I think cause of the weekend. I’m been feeling quite nauseous so I’m hoping it’s going to be a good sign of levels increasing 🤞

[Cutecolliedog in reply to LSandJ]

enjoying the start of maternity leave?? I got my second beta back as 1064 so super pleased as more than doubling every 48 hrs so I’m hopeful maybe this time it might work 🤞🤞

[LSandJ]

Great send off by the school! It's a bit surreal. Although It's half term now, so I guess nothing different. I feel a little panicky and overwhelmed at times. We aren't quite ready and they could come any time. They want us to get to 34 weeks ideally, if major issues then before is OK. But if they've picked up and growing OK, then it'll be 37 weeks. So if at the next scan they're OK, then I could have a while for resting and nesting, and no need to stress. (although I've seen many twins coming 29/30/31, including two in our twin antenatal group!!) so we just have to see how it goes!

Very happy about your number and hope that means this could be the one!!! When's your viability scan? X

[Cutecolliedog in reply to LSandJ]

But will you ever be ready?! That is the question!! It’s going to be amazing I can’t wait to hear when they arrive 😍 wow if you reach 37 weeks you will be huge!!

My scan is in 2 wks time 😁 I’m trying hard to contain excitement just incase it’s not going to work out but sometimes it’s hard to suppress 🙈
