Hey there...I just read your other post...it took me a while to find it so thought I would post a new thread :)

Don't get yourself all worked up...I am sure it will all be OK..I am praying for you and your baby :) God will take care of you!

My sister in law had the triple test done with her second child and it came back positive showing that the baby had Downs, then the U/S confirmed it as well, his measurments showed signs of Downs. Well he came out perfectly normal :)

Keep good thoughts :) and let me know how it goes. What day next week is it?

Hi! It's Tuesday of next week.  That's great news for your sister in law, but boy that must have been stressful for her.   My test was on the other side of the abnormal. It was elevated so that's a risk of spina bifida and other birth defects.  But...some healthy babies just produce more AFP just because, that's my wish.  I'm doing ok...thanks for supporting me.  DH and I haven't told anyone so it feels good to share it with somebody and know you're thinking of me.  

How are you doing?? How much longer is your TWW?

Well hang in there and try to keep positive thoughts :) I hope it turns out just a fluke. I am praying for you and that little bean!!!
I am in the TWW...yes, that dreaded long wait. I am 8 days past my trigger shot and have been testing to watch it fade out of me...but I just compared todays test to my pictures from last time I did trigger and comparing the same days (8 days after trigger shot) and my test this cycle is darker than last. I know it could just mean my shot is strong in my urine this time around, but I am drinking Gatorade and water like it is going out of style, going pee every 30-45 mins and urine is pretty much clear so it is very diluted, I would think the tests would be lighter from it diluted. (drinking to avoid OHSS) Anyway, here are are the pics of the two tests side by side...I know...I am NEUROTIC...but I want this sooooooooooo bad!

Please keep me updated on your appt and how everything goes!!! Thank you for asking about me too :)

[Justine17]

Yes, I can see it's darker than last time from your pics.  Now you're 10 days past trigger shot...woo hoo...getting closer.  I'll be praying for you too.  

I can't really explain how I feel about my u/s tomorrow.  Still very nervous but am optimistic at the same time.  I can feel my baby moving quite often now, it's a wonderful feeling.  I hope I can get some sleep tonight.  :) I'll write back tomorrow.

Everything is wonderful!!  There are no signs of any physical markers for downs....yes...I was completely wrong. My blood results were for the other spectrum...not spina bifida...but downs.  Goes to show I have to stop thinking I'm a doctor and analyzing my results so much  :)  The baby is beautiful. I can't stop looking at the picture of him/her.  I am never going to take anything for granted..I feel so lucky. I remember the days when I thought I was never ever going to get pregnant.  It'll happen for you too...  how are you feeling?

[babysomeday]

I am sooooo happy!!!! That is great news! Are you going to find out the sex of the baby? That is just wonderful :)

Sorry it took me so long to write, it takes a while to find the post!

I am not doing too well, I have been up and down. I had BFP on 3 tests and then a negative blood test today...so kinda down!

[Justine17]

I am really sorry about your blood test. It's not fair that you got 3 BFP's before that!!  Hang in there.  I know it's easy to say and not to do.  And if you have to , let it all out there.  I remember the month before I got pregnant I was a nasty lady ranting and raving to my poor DH about how I'll never get pregnant and sometimes I just want to give up and bam...my luck changed.  I'm not saying that's the answer but it felt good to let out my built up frustration.  Sorry, this post is so far down, you're right, we'll have to start a new one soon.

Thanks :) I feel like doing that. I need to explode. I am suppose to go to a baby shower tomorrow...but I am pretty sure I am going to be sick tomorrow :) and not go. I don't think I can handle it. Plus AF found me during the night and she is STRONG! So today and tomorrow will be not fun days. I have a wedding shower today too. I may just make an appearence and drop off the gift and go home.

I am so happy your U/S was great. I bet you feel so much better! I can't wait to be pg and come to you for questions to compare notes :)

Thanks for listening!!! :)
