Scan 9 weeks 5 days
So to put my mind at rest i paid to have a private scan at a wonderful place in Solihull called MUMS- Midland Ultrasound Medical Services. They were so kind and thoughtful and great at what they do.
I got 5 photos of my baby. Baby has a good strong heartbeat of 181BPM. He/She was waving and kicking their tiny legs. I cant feel any of this yet as their just over an inch long head to bum. This measurement is called the Crown Rump Length- CRL.
Unfortunately my DVD is not compatible so i could not add it directly to this page. I had to go a long route of videoing my DVD with my camera and uploading it to youtube. Its not the clearest but you get the idea.
This DVD and my pictures will be treasured forever!

Booking In Appointment
So i've met with the midwife. Her name was Mary and she was lovely. From my lmp she says i'm 9 weeks pregnant so she is arranging my 12 week scan. Very worried about this and hope there is a baby there when they scan me.
We filled in lots of paperwork which took about an hour and we talked about blood test during pregnancy they would do, scans, healthy eating, exercise and lots of other things oh and breast feeding too.
Due to my history of miscarriages she is putting me as high risk and arranging extra appointments throughout my pregnancy which i am hoping will give me extra peace of mind knowing i get to see a professional every few weeks. I also get to be seen by a consultant several times too.
I have another appointment on Tuesday with another midwife for the first trimester blood tests. They test lots of things like-
Will keep you posted with how things progress

Big Update & Confession
Where have I been? Well life has been somewhat very busy.
We've moved house and got a puppy! William is a 4 and a half month old Labrador and is wonderful. Just gorgous. We've been busy training him and decorating our new home. Still lots to do, Hall, Stairs & Landing etc and the downstairs too. Well we do have plenty of time for it all.
I do have a confession to make.................. the clomid i was taking last year was not prescribed by my Dr. I brought it online as i was sick and tired of waiting for the NHS to actually help and give me a referal to fertility specalist.
After 12 months of ttc again after the heterotopic pregnancy i finally got a referal to see a fertility specalist for help. In July i met with the fertility specalist and he gave me 6 months of clomid, arranged blood tests to check my hormone levels and my Rubella Immunity and i had a HSG. The full name is a Hysterosalpingogram. This is a test carried out in the Xray room. A thin catheter in inserted through the cervix and dye is pushed through into you uterus and through your tubes while Xrays are taken. This showed my right tube was is good condition with no blockages. Very good news.
My next cycle start on the 24th August. I was told to take 100mg of clomid on CD2-6 which i did. We dtd as needed and went on holiday on the 22nd September. We had a wonderful time but i did take with me everything i needed for AF as i was due on while away. Well AF did not come to i took a HPT when i got home on the 29th September. To my surprise it was possitive. My 3rd BFP. We had been trying for 15 months and nothing. I think i got my BFP due to having the HSG and the clomid.
I've had 2 scans at the early pregnancy assesment unit to check the location of the pregnancy to make sure it was not in my tubes. They do this as once you've had a ectopic, you have a 15-20% chance of having another one.
The scan confirmed i had a gestational sac and yolk sac measuring between 5 and 6 weeks and it was in a good location high in my uterus. As standard they get you back a week later to check progression. A week later i has a 2nd scan that showed i measured 6 weeks 2 days pregnant. There was a baby with a heartbeat in there too. I was so shocked and happy i cried. With my previous pregnancies i never got to see a baby so this was amazing.
Here is my second scan showing baby at the botton the the black gestational sac looking a bit like a kidney bean!
I'll update soon to let you know how were progressing

Clomid Cycle 2
Well, I've completed clomid cycle No. 2! Currently 12dpo. Symptoms this cycle post O have been really super sensitive nipples! That has now died off. Just a side effect of the clomid.
Not much happening here, just waiting for a few more days to see if af shows up, again hoping she doesn't but we shall see. My normal LP length is between 16-18 days so if I get to 18 and don't feel like af is going to show then I will test but same as last month, I'm not going to hold my breath and I wont get disappointed if I'm not- onwards and upwards as they say. This will happen, its just a matter of time. Roll on clomid cycle No. 3!
