Sorry I cant figure out how to copy a  link into this form so don't know if this will work but if you go to

www.babymed/fetus-crown-rump-length-crl-measurments-ultrasound.com

 

they have a good chart that shows what measurements should be.

Hope everyone had a good week!  I have my first OB appointment this coming Monday and another ultrasound booked for 9 weeks which is June 25th for me.

 

I am stopping my progesterone this Sunday when I will be 8 weeks.  Anyone else stopping meds yet?

[Firsttimeivfer]

Just had my second ultrasound and everything seems okay. Baby boy was measuring 11.6 and the heart rate was about 158 at 7w2d (I did PGS testing so I found out the sex last week!). I did have some bright red spotting yesterday (just a few drops) and my doc seemed very concerned, suggested I take time off next week to relax. They want me back again next week for another ultrasound.

Balance - lucky you get to stop the progesterone! I asked today and they said I need to take it until week 13. There are so many hard lumps on my bum that Im running out of spots to do the shot! I asked about the suppositories but they said they prefer the PIO shots and to try to keep those up as much as I can instead of switching off.

Mrs T - thanks for the link. Looks like Im measuring right on if I round up!

[Mrs T]

Balance - Lucky you get to stop progesterone. I am on suppositories and they said I will have to take it till 10 weeks. Also still staking estrace.

 

firsttimer- that's a great heartbeat and measurement!! congrats on having a boy so exciting!!  I am going to do the harmony test at 10.5 weeks so I will find out then.

[Balance]

Thanks Mrs. T for the link.  Looks like I am measuring on track too.

 

I will be happy to be done the progesterone.  I did a natural cycle so no estrace or anything else and I assume that is why I also get to stop it earlier.

 

Firsttimeivfer - What you got to know already that it's a boy!!!  Congratulations!!!  I also did PGS but I thought we couldn't find out the sex in Canada....hmm I wonder if I should ask my clinic?  Is it you clinic who told you the sex?  I am so curious now, you have me all excited.  If I can't find out though I plan to ask on Monday at my OB appointment if I can do Panorama which tests at 9 weeks...but you have to wait ~2 weeks for the results.

[pleasebaby]

What is the difference between panorama and harmony?

[Balance]

Panorama is Lifelabs and Harmony is Dynacare (in Ontario anyway).  Panorama is 9 weeks and Harmony is 10 weeks.  

 

There are a few differences in what they test for....but I would google them to get a good comparison because it goes into detail about what they specifically test.  I hope to get more information when I go Monday.  Maybe my doctor will recommend one over the other.  But I want to know the gender ASAP (so anxious and curious to know

[Firsttimeivfer]

Balance - they cant tell you before the transfer, but once its done they can tell you what they put in! They only put in one for me so they know for sure what it is my clinic has a lab that does the PGS testing so I just made my doc call the lab to find out. He wanted to wait until my appointment today to make sure everything was measuring well first but I insisted he find out for me last week!

Ok thanks!  Not sure my clinic will tell me but I may send an email to ask....hmmm I predict they won't tell me but worth a shot.

 

Congrats again!!

[Balance]

So my clinic is contacting the company that did the genetic testing and said they will get back to me next week.  So I may know the gender next week!

 

Thanks Firsttimeivfer!!  If you hadn't mentioned this I wouldn't have thought I could ask!!!

 

So excited!!!!  Now to get through the weekend!!!

[Kc�s_girl]

Its so exciting that you found out you're having a boy so early firsttimeivfr!

 

I'm on the suppositories and I'll be on them till 9.5 weeks, pretty much the day after my 2nd ultrasound which is scheduled on the 21st. I'll be very happy to be finished with the suppositories.

 

I only just found out about the Harmony/Panorama tests and I intend to ask about them at my next appointment, I would love to know the gender now!!   

[keeping_the_hope]

Hey everyone, congrats on all your pregnancies!

I was not expecting the denial and anxiety I felt after finding out I was pregnant. For a long time I couldnt let myself believe it was actually happening. Im now 10 weeks 2 days and feeling a lot more comfortable and excited so I decided to join this thread.

For all the ultrasound questions - at 7 weeks I was measuring 3 days behind. My clinic didnt say anything but my midwife wanted me to repeat. At 9 weeks I was measuring right on. That 9 week ultrasound was so cool! I was amazed at how much we could see.

We have decided not to do the Panorama or NIPT test. We dont want to know sex of the baby. We are doing the genetic testing that is covered by MSP in BC.

I stopped the progesterone suppositories at 9.5 weeks. I would have preferred to go till the end of the first trimester but that was me being stressy. So far no change in symptoms since stopping. Though it is nice to be done with the discharge.

Hope all continues to go well with you!

Hi. I just want to wish you all all the best of luck. I had an emergency uktrasound after passing some clots and found out that Im miscarrying.
Its a sad time right now. Have to go in 2 weeks to see if it all came out.
They think it will all be naturally

But again wish you a happy healthy 9 months

[Firsttimeivfer]

Im so sorry pleasebaby:( thats really heartbreaking. Take care of yourself *hugs*

[Kc�s_girl]

I'm so sorry Pleasebaby! Sending you love and prayers! 

[Kc�s_girl]

Welcome to the group Keeping! Good to see you here, glad to hear it's all going well so far, I totally understand where you're coming from, I'm still full of anxiety I'm hoping that my 2nd scan on Thursday will ease my mind and let me finally enjoy this pregnancy! 

[Zumzum]

We are released to OB!!

[Mrs T]

Pleasebaby - I am so sorry to hear. Such sad news.

 

 

Keeping! - Cognats and welcome!

 

Zumzum - That's awesome. I just got my Ob appointment but its not till I am 14 weeks which is stressing me out. I get to see my Fertility doctor one more last time at 10.5 then nothing for almost a month. Do you have an appointment yet?

[Seem14]

Hello everyone and hello again to some of the familiar names! I was very hesitant in joining but I figured today is a good day to finally join this group!  We had our second U/S today and baby is measuring at exactly 9w0d and we saw the HB again at 176 bpm!!!  We finally graduated from our clinic and now released to our midwife! I have my first appt with her next week on the 27th and then will get a referral from her to an OB as well! 

 

It still feels like a dream and I wanna pinch myself, but it's finally happening!!!  Our DD is Jan 20th. Gonna be a long 7 mos and looking forward to going thru this with you ladies.

 

I'm very much looking forward to stopping all meds a week from day!!!! yyyaaaaayyyyy I've been on these meds for 9 weeks now... one more week to go! lol 

 

Hope everyone is keeping cool, it's been a hot day these past couple of days!!! xox

[Baby-M]

Congrats zumzum and Mrs. T!

Is anyone else taking dicletin for nausea? I had nausea all day every day for about a week before starting it...and the first couple days it only helped a little bit....i increased my dose 3 days ago and I'm doing much better today....but now although I'm happy to feel less sick worry if something is wrong because with baby because im starting to feel better. Ugh. Always something to worry about I guess.

 pleasebaby, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, it's never easy.... hope your healing comes quick! Sending you lots of ((HUGS))

Pleasebaby I am so sorry for your loss.

I was able to stop my progesterone and had my first OB appointment yesterday.  I am now waiting for my 2nd ultrasound which will be next Monday and my OB will see me right after that too.

 

I have no symptoms except fatigue and sore breast at times.

 

I asked my OB about travel during the pregnancy and she wasn't too supportive.  But my brother is getting married in Vegas in October and I really want to go see my baby brother get married.  I will be 24 weeks the day of his wedding.  Of course if I book anything I will get cancellation insurance.  What do you guys think?  Would you travel during your second trimester?

[Balance]

Welcome Seem!  Congrats on a great pregnancy so far!

[Firsttimeivfer]

Why doesnt your doc want you to travel balance? I was planning a trip to the Bahamas in September and didnt even think to ask my doc because I always thought it was safe to travel when pregnant!
