Virgo, said it already, so sorry, and I really hpe 2012 is your year x
Hi again! Got my hcg numbers back from the doctor's office yesterday, they decreased from 34 to 22. Sigh. So I've been directed to stop taking the progesterone suppositories which will let me start bleeding. I have an appointment with my doctor (who has been out of the office all of this time!) on Tuesday to talk about what happened and how we move forward. Also need to have my hcg levels checked until they return to zero. What a perfect ending to a crappy 2011.
I truly hope you all have wonderful, healthy and stress-free pregnancies. I'll pop in from time to time to see how you all are doing!!
Thanks Lucy (I just went back to check your name and was relieved to see it's not just me with the toilet-visiting problems! The things they don't tell you about beforehand...).
I will take it with me then. I was quite surprised (and pleased) to get such an early appointment, but it may be because they wouldn't let me see a dr! When I first got my BFP it was very early (9dpo) and I called to make an appt in a couple of weeks. I said to the receptionist that I thought I was pregnant and she basically asked if I'd taken a test, then if it was positive, then said well you're pregnant, congratulations (all in a mildly sarcastic tone) and told me I didn't need to see a dr but needed to call in and get a booking in pack. The midwife would then contact me...
Will update with what happens afterwards!
Hello ladies, hope you're all feeling good today... I've just spent the last hour or so reading through the whole thread and would love to join.
Name (just first)? Fran
How old are you? 33, will be 34 in March
What's your EDD, how have you figured that date? 1st September 2012 (also 2nd wedding anniversary) - was testing for ovulation as my cycle wasn't quite back to normal since giving up the mini-pill at end of September - I suspect the midwife will date me around 6 days earlier!!!
What # child is this for you? First child (and pregnancy)
Do you predict you're carrying a boy or girl? Don't know! My in-laws only have granddaughters, and my parents only have grandsons, so there's conflict already!!!
Are you finding out the gender? DH wants to, I want a surprise so we have to debate some more
How many months were you TTC? 2-ish!
Are you on any meds to help support your pregnancy? Just Pregnacare supplements
So there's the questionnaire... other things about me include that I'm very overweight, so that's a big concern of mine. I have sleep apnoea too, but I guess at least that means I'm already used to surviving on little sleep!
And I think it was Alex who posted about OH reaction - my DH actually left me just over a month after we started trying!!! Luckily after a week he came to his senses and came back, admitting that the 'baby thing' had freaked him out and saying all the right things! It was probably good to get it out of the way then, he's really excited now... Anyway, that's why I said 2-ish months of trying - the week he left was my ovulation week in November, so we only tried in Oct and Dec...
Anyway, I'll be quiet now and just add that I have my first midwife appointment on the 10th Jan - well I think I do, I got a text message with an appointment date and a missed call from the midwife! They gave me a sample bottle with the booking in pack - does anyone know if I'm supposed to turn up with a urine sample?
Here's to an easy 8/9 months for us all!
Hi all I'm new.. Had my first positive test on new years eve was completely shocked as I've had numerous negatives for nearly 6 months. I lost a baby in July last year at 24weeks, stillborn.
I am due September too!

I had another MC lastnight so I am no longer going to be a September Mommy. Congratulations and best of luck to all of you! I hope you all have a wonderful, happy, healthy 9 months.
