⚠️ warning sensitive post. 12 week scan.

121 Replies

Hi everyone.

I haven’t had the easiest of pregnancies- lots of spotting throughout & have felt on tender hooks. Ive been signed off work by the GP & told to bed rest. Even tho it was never heavy bleeding & never had abdominal pain it was unsettling seeing it and made it impossible to feel excited over this wanted pregnancy.

But today my fear was put to rest. The baby was measuring at 12 weeks 4 days- a day ahead of my dates. We got some lovely pictures & are so grateful we got our rainbow baby after so long!

Infertility is so difficult & feels at times like you will never get a baby. It’s the toughest challenge I’ve faced. This site kept me reasonably sane 😂to know I wasn’t alone & felt supported here. Know you are strong & can do this. It’s a battle but can be won 💪🏻 It’s brought hubby & I closer & I believe what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

I will enjoy reading you your updates on your journeys my fellow warriors 💪🏻Wishing each & every one of you all little miracles & hope you have a more plain sailing pregnancy than mine has been! ❤️❤️❤️ xoxo 😘

Massive congratulations! Amazing news for you both. Hope you can relax more now. It’s nice to hear a positive outcome with another endo sufferer xxx

in reply to Doglover5

Thank you.

It’s definitely not easing managing endo with TTC.

I found the anti inflammatory diet really eased my symptoms me once I had all the endo removed.

All the best with your cycle hope it’s good news 🤞🏻✨😘 xoxo

Really happy for you Jess. I have been praying and rooting for you and this baby. I am a continent away in the US and it's good to know that there are other people out there passing through the same. Since you became pregnant, whenever I see you posts, I always have my heart in my mouth praying that it's not bad news.

I am glad to know that that worry has finally been put to rest for you and for me too😁

Hi Jess

Thats brilliant news 🤗 Was thinking of you today. Im so happy for you💖🤰🏻👍. You both deserve this news and now hopefully you can cherish this memory and help you think more positively going forwards.

I was given 2 days ahead of what i thought i was. So it wasnt too out.

Praying everyone out there that is pregnant to have a safe delivery and for those that are TTC for their miracles to happen so they too can experience what we are experiencing.

Take each day as it comes but with a smile and some positivity. x

in reply to Masha111

Thank you. The worrying stops now 🙂I hope everyone here gets their miracles. All the best with your pregnancy too xoxo 😘

Rowly88 in reply to

Thank you for asking x

You won't believe it, I finally managed to get some help but from another hospital who booked me in for this Friday to have the test done after struggling so much to find somewhere and no help from my hospital.

Then later that day my hospital called and said, following the documents I provided and call from my doctor stating I'm not a smoker they are willing to accept this so I don't have to have the test anymore. Couldn't believe it!!!

I have an appointment for 12.12, all going good injections start on 14.12 and then go into next year Jan.

I can't wait to get going xxxxx 😁😁😁

kirstyblue in reply to

Oh amazing. Have you properly announced your pregnancy now? First scan is on 11th December so il be around 7 weeks I think x

in reply to kirstyblue

Thank you.

No we haven’t, there are some people we need to tell before any announcement on Facebook.

All the best for 11th December, keep us posted 💗 it’s better to scan at 7 weeks as you should see a heartbeat then 6 is too early 💗 xozo

No 😕 We honestly feel like we might be done with it all xx

in reply to Dunla

Really sorry to hear that. It seems very unprofessional of the clinic to leave you dangling. Maybe sometime away from it all will do you some good. Focus on you. You can pick it up again at anytime.I had forced breaks with my surgeries & it really was nice to have a break. It can get too much at times. xoxo

It is such a lovely post thank you. Hope that the rest of the pregnancy is plain sailing from now on in. Lots of love and hugs to all of you.

in reply to Yammie1973

Thank you so much. I hope you get this anaemia sorted & the thyroid & fibroid. It’s great it’s been unearthed. Having anaemia is horrendous, you will feel heaps better after taking ferrous sulphate 😘 Good luck for your appointment & let us know how it goes, everything crossed for you xoxo

Yammie1973 profile image
Yammie1973 in reply to

Thanks Jess. Fibroid consultant said that in his opinion, we should just leave the fibroids alone as they are not impacting the uterine cavity in any way, close but not enough o cause long term problems with pregnancy or miscarriage. All I was told to take was vit D3 for the iron deficiency anaemia.

So pleased to read this (im an avid reader of posts... i just don't often say too much!).... but reading this really just made me smile!

I'm a week away from my 7week scan.... not enjoying it at all.... two bouts of very very light spotting... but all symptons (nausea/ fatigue etc) all keep happening... now doing another HPT every other day... just to check.. all seems ok.... but it's sooooooo hard (after previous early miscarriage after round 1)..... so have really been struggling.

But your news has given me hope! So massive congrats and thankyou! Xxxx

in reply to MrsElbow

Thank you.

The spotting robbed me of enjoying the my first trimester. ☹️

I am so sorry for your loss too. I had a chemical pregnancy last year & I think that made us worth more with this pregnancy. ☹️ I did lots of pregnancy tests 🤣

You can spot & be okay, it’s common but awful when you see it ☹️It’s only if it’s you have severe abdominal pain with heavy bleeding that you should be concerned. The first question I was asked by the midwife was did I have pain & when I said no she said I’d be okay!

I really hope your 7 weeks scan can give you the reassurance you need. All the best with your pregnancy xoxo

MrsElbow profile image
MrsElbow

You've hit the nail on the head... I've been robbed of the joy of it at the moment. (I feel awful saying it.... with the years over been waiting and wanting this you happen)....its just such an emotional rollercoaster.

Anyway. So pleased you've made it to 12 weeks! Wishing you all the best for your continuing pregnancy! Xxx

in reply to MrsElbow

Thank you.

Don’t be like me & spend the whole timester worrying. I worried over something that never mounted to anything & I could’ve enjoyed being pregnant. Hopefully the 7 week scan can lay these fears at bay. xoxo

londonrc in reply to

Thanks Jess- it will really be end of year- I’ll be able to do a urine test on 30th for result - or blood test on 28th- not sure I’ll want to make my way into town for test during the holiday time and then wait for results- might just wait for urine test myself. What did you do each time?

in reply to londonrc

I did a urine test. It wasn’t IVF I had surgeries to treat endometriosis & then did a round of clomid. Pregnancy tests can be done as early as day of missed period. Personally I would find it difficult to wait in for blood test results, in too inpatient 🤣 I used clearblue conception pregnancy test day after the missed period with first urine & was able to pick up pregnancy both times ( one was a chemical pregnancy) Up to you must do what feels right for you. I hope it’s BFP xoxo

Congratulations to you - so very much deserved! I am just over 11 weeks and have my first appointment with a community midwife next week - my nausea is bad and so is the tiredness so have not enjoyed the first trimester much and getting quite worried about the screening tests. We will continue to look after ourselves as much as we can xx

in reply to Esme78

Thank you. And congratulations to you. Your miscarriage risk decrease dramatically after 8 weeks so I’m sure you are out of the woods 😘 The scan will give you the reassurance that we will need, especially after this journey. Keep us updated zoxo
