WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!! So excited to be able to share this with you and with all of you awesome ladies! I felt so alone with my first...so nice ot have such a wonderful support group to share symptoms and excitements and fears and all that!!! =D

Hi everyone! Anyone else feeling seriously bloated at the moment? I feel huge.

I know right?! I'm doing ok with the cramping, but I had a bit of spotting on 12/13/14dpo so that was a touch nerve wracking. BUT, I handled it a TON better then I did even with my first pregnancy. :P It was mostly all brownish, so that helped too. I hope your back feels better soon!

I didn't get to do my first beta until after 4pm on monday, so I'm waiting until after work (4pm) today to do my 2nd. Thank God, though, that mine I will get notified via email when they are ready and can just look it up online rather then have to wait to talk to someone! I hope you find out soon! Keep us posted!

Welcome and congrats!!

BWAHAHAHA!! I didn't ask my mom, but honestly, just never really thought about it other then it worrying me and making me run to the bathroom!! :P We sound like we think a lot alike.

is anyone else having some crazy vivid dreams??! It seems like every night now it's something wild...last night I had a water dream with my 3-year-old..(such sofft gentle beautiful water rapids), the night before it was a showering issue at a youth conformation/church camp I was helping out on and the night before that...a seriously WEIRD sexy dream with my bf and a crush from long ago....kind of weird and homosexual (not saying homosexual is weird but when it's between the two of them...haha!) bf Rory does NOT know about that one :P haha!

I've been pretty lucky in that I seem to have some definite signs of pregnancy. In 4 out of 5 of my pregnancies (the only one I'm not counting is my first because I had no clue to even look!), I knew well before any tests could possibly have told me that I was pregnant. In every single one of them, my two go-to signs were sore boobs and uterine area cramping that started RIGHT after ovulation and just never stopped. I told my Endo at 4dpo that I was positive that I was pregnant! lol

Oh beautiful!!

Woot! Welcome to the thread!! I know how it feels to have to wait a long time. It's been over 2.5 years since my husband and I started! Glad you finally got your BFP and I hope it's a very sticky LO. As for baby brain? Mine sure has!! My husband is laughing at just how forgetful and clueless I seem to have become!!

I think that's the way to go. I've been such a poas-aholic the past year (we are talking sometimes 20-30 tests PER CYCLE), and this time, I just didn't need to. I mean I still tested 7 times (2 of them were too early and were bfn's), but I knew from that first test with a 2nd line that this wasn't an evap.

Me! Also doesn't help that I'm carrying some post Xmas wobble too

My husband has bought me running related presents for my bday next week - guess I'll have to put that on hold? The research I've done suggests that running is ok IF your body is already used to it... which mine isn't I'm only about 3/4 - 1 stone over weight but it still shows - heyho, I'll have a valid 'excuse' very soon hopefully

He had also planned to take us husky sledging for my bday too! Luckily he hadn't ordered it before the BFP - think we'll put anything too risky on hold for now!

I'm all for sharing pregnancy symptoms with my husband but weird sexy dreams including exes is taking it a little too far! Even by our standards!

YEP YEP ME. Sexy dreams galore, and ...er....even woke up from one after, you know. Which only ever happens when I am pregnant.

So at 15 dpo HCG 74 Progesterone 45

My results for 18 dpo (but not quite 72 hours) was HCG 441 Progesterone 51

So almost 6 x up, which means I am doubling every day instead of 48-72 hours. CRAZY!

That's great, bet that's a relief!
