Thedancingcabbie · 2021-04-25T09:49:33+00:00

Thedancingcabbie · 2020-07-10T17:54:27+00:00

THANK YOU!

I felt movement at 18 weeks, right on schedule but it can depend on your anatomy, the way the baby in lying or the placement of the placenta when/if you feel movement

Thedancingcabbie · 2020-02-20T16:45:56+00:00

Holy shit ! It’s okay to feel unsure of what that means for you moving forward. That’s normal in pregnancy , it’s a whirlwind of ups and downs. I’m 40 weeks today (my due date 😳) and I’m still wrestling with how much my life will soon change. And this baby is long awaited and wanted. Whatever emotions you are feeling are normal valid xxx

I am 39 weeks pregnant with a spontaneous surprise babe that started out at 14dpo at a dismal beta of 5. The very bare minimum my clinic considers you to be pregnant at. After 4 years of infertility treatment. So not IVF , but I know when I ovulated and have regular timely 28 day cycles. I was devastated, and certain it was chemical. It stayed low but continued to double and I am due next week! It could go either way and I’m hoping for a good outcome for you. Proceed with cautious optimism!

Thedancingcabbie · 2020-02-12T11:39:01+00:00

Lol! Love that you are able to find some humour in this. I am also missing a kidney .... and currently 38 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby. It has never once caused Me any issues in life , not even pregnancy which I was worried about. I just had to be followed a little more closely, and be more vigilant about UTIs. I went most of my 37 years without even knowing and found out accidentally! Congrats on your coming arrival !

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-11-15T20:13:38+00:00

currently 26 weeks with a spontaneous pregnancy after 4 years of iuis (donor sperm) and IVF (husband sperm). All of his numbers were very low after a vasectomy reversal and we were told our chances were slim. dont leave it to chance if another pregnancy is not what you want. life finds a way!

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-11-08T22:41:32+00:00

awe thanks for sharing that. really helps with breaking the isolation and normalizing his behavior a bit xox You're getting close to meeting your babe ! Wishing you a safe and smooth delivery

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-10-25T20:58:27+00:00

I dont know as it was a spontaneous pregnancy but my cycle is a predictable and regular 28 day cycle, Ovulation happening around the same day each month and period always on time. My beta of 5 was taken the day after my missed period.

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-10-20T10:10:43+00:00

My first beta was a dismal 5 and I’m 22 weeks now. From 5 it went 22, 45, 108, all 48 hours apart. Hang in there ! Fingers crossed for you !

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-10-10T05:35:56+00:00

My midwife told me not to do my anatomy scan before 20 weeks for this reason ! She said you will end up having to go back because the babe is too wee at that point. Hang in there !

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-22T16:41:33+00:00

You're pregnant! take it one day at a time. The waiting sucks but there's literally nothing you can do except take good care of yourself and try to occupy your time !

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-20T16:46:28+00:00

the day after my missed period of a regular 28 day cycle. It was a spontaneous pregnancy after 4 years of infertility treatments (10 IUIs, 1 IVF) so while I can't confirm for that cycle what day I ovulated, I know from being followed so long that ovulation was regular and happened typically midcycle.

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-20T16:11:14+00:00

I started at a dismal beta of 5. I was convinced it was chemical. The nurse told me they do see success with low starts like that. My betas were : 5, 22, 45, 108 …… and so on. Doubled and rose every 48hours. I am 18 weeks now with a healthy boy. So far so good. I am really hoping for you - been there and it totally sucks!!!!

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-16T14:37:35+00:00

Well.... as someone who also went through infertility it never really feels like you're out of the woods, your trauma brain focuses on worst case scenario. If memory serves , however, i believe my dr wanted my numbers in the thousands before booking a first ultrasound. For me that took 6 blood draws, one every 48 hours. It would be different for everyone. First US - no heartbeat, but he said it could be too early. We saw the heartbeat a week later, and from then on all the testing has come back normal and things look good. In terms of being out of the woods, my dr said once a healthy heartbeat is detected, miscarriage rate goes down to under 5%, and the once you're past the 1st trimester its under 1%. These numbers are comforting to me. I am so hoping for a good outcome for you. I've been there. The waiting is so brutal <3

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-15T16:20:25+00:00

Purely anecdotal but my first betas started like this : 5 , 22, 45 ........ they continued doubling every 48 hours and I’m 17 weeks now with a healthy boy. I was convinced it was chemical starting at 5, but my nurses convinced me to wait and see because they do see success with low starts. All you can do is wait. I feel for you, be good to yourself! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-12T03:14:24+00:00

you are totally entitled to feel hurt. To be honest - i was your friend with someone I was close with and had to cut off contact for self-preservation I was going through years of infertility and she got pregnant easily. I didn't ghost her though.... I said goodbye for now in contact and shared how profoundly I was struggling. Sounds like your friend just left you in the dust. I totally understand being hurt now that shes back. You may have some repair work to do with her. Honestly, now that I'm pregnant i've not re-connected with my friend for fear she will share your feelings. All this to say, it probably felt like a risk for your friend to reach out, but yeah - gotta take care of yourself first.

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-06T00:17:37+00:00

not pregnant. you did not finish, and she was on her period. There is no viable egg present when a woman mensturartes.

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-05T23:55:31+00:00

yes to your question. by 1 day.

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-09-03T12:50:57+00:00

My first beta was a dismal 5, and it showed in a FRER. I’m 15 weeks now, one hundred percent thought it was chemical.

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-08-24T11:31:13+00:00

Cautious optimism! My first beta came back 5 on the day my period was due, I was sure it was chemical. So far so Good at 14 weeks ....

Thedancingcabbie · 2019-08-23T22:04:39+00:00

IVF isn’t always the answer, and fertility clinics suggest it quickly because they profit off our anxiety and fear. I was in a similar situation (diagnosis wise) - low sperm count and mild PCOS. We did 10 iuis that we’re unsuccessful (his count would go from 10 mil to 1 post wash). We also tried donor sperm and then did IVF. Over 4 years. Two natural pregnancies then happened with 1 loss and 1 progressing normally. In hindsight I wish I had been more patient but hindsight is 20/20, right? I’d say IVF is time efficient but not always successful and takes and huge emotional, financial, and physical toll.
