[DixiePrincess]

It should be about the 7th. i know im so afraid im gonna have a chemical or miscarriage almost feel like this cant happen to me so im so afraid something will go wrong. But im normally a worry wart in everything anyway lol

Shilo - I thought those betas looked good I've always been told by doctor that they're more interested in the doubling time than the actual hcg number itself, and yours is fine

hi Dixie, welcome I think for most of us the 1st trimester is the most nervewracking, but I hope and pray ALL of us end up with beautiful babies in June.

Wow, some of you are so ahead with planning! I don't plan to really think of names or much until the gender scan and I don't plan to buy anything until the first ultrasound which will be between 10-12 weeks.

I live in Finland and we have free government healthcare here, so I don't have a health insurance and everything is totally free. It seems our appointments start quite late though, I am planning to call on monday for mine when I'm 4 weeks approx and I read online that it will be booked for between 8 to 10 weeks pregnant and nothing at all will happen until then. Weird.

Regarding termination -- I think women who do end up making that choice prefer to see it as a ball of cells to avoid getting too attached, it's not an easy choice to make. Even now with this very much wanted pregnancy a part of me wants to not get attached until my first scan, fearing something will go wrong I had to POAS again and thank God I had a stronger line again, almost as strong as the control line. I think I will POAS all the way until my first appointment lol. I need to order some of the cheapies online.

How is everyone feeling? My backpain has reduced, but I have some strange sensations in my lower belly, not pain but just sensations, lack of appetite and feeling very emotional.

I'm in the UK and we have free government healthcare as well. We do have to contribute to prescription charges and there's a contribution charge of £8.05 per item on a prescription unless you're exempt (under 18, full-time student etc). Later in pregnancy women get free prescriptions too but I'm not sure when that starts.

I guess I'm actually really lucky not to have to pay for anything towards blood tests, ultrasounds and the labour/birth etc.

I think the systems must work pretty similarly - first scan is usually 10-12 weeks here and then second scan is around 20 weeks. Sometimes women do get early scans but it's at the midwife/hospital's discretion and usually only if there's a concern.

My booking in appointment with the midwife is 3rd October and I'm looking forward to that - I've always miscarried before I got to that stage so I'm not sure what to expect really.

I got 2-3 weeks on a digi this morning (13dpo) so I'm really shocked because usually I don't even get a positive on a digi till 13/14dpo and then it's 1-2. This time I got 1-2 at 9dpo and 2-3 at 13dpo

I'm British so it kind of sucks to have to pay around £4000 to give birth...although the governent will reimburse around £2500. Still it costs a lot, especially when you realise you have to buy loads of stuff and we probably will have to move since we live in a typical Japanese apartment which is pretty much a studio flat but we own it. Well have to move out and rent somewhere bigger and rent this place out. Moving in Japan costs so much too! You have to give the landlord a present of 1 months rent that you don't get back. Pus then you have your deposit (usually 2 months) and then your first months rent. My head is spinning just thinking about it. My poor husband.

Good luck Shilo, fingers crossed for you. Man, this afternoon at work, I stood up to write something on my board and I had to lean against it because I got tunnel vision and my arms and legs felt like they were going to give out and then it all went black. But I stayed leaned against the board until it passed. Man, not cool. I need to run today. But I'm going to relax.

Are you a runner? I'm thinking about starting up again gently as there's a fun 5k race in my town next month but I haven't gotten my butt out there lately.......

Well, I am in the military, so I have to stay in shape anyway. But my 9 year old has decided that he wants to run a 5K sometime soon, so I've started training with him so that he can be successful. The 5K runner app is really good if you want to start from nothing to something and allow your body to get into it gently. And getting my butt out there is definitely the hardest thing for me too!

Right on! And good for your son!!
I used to run a fair bit and did my first half marathon last year but ever since then, I kind of fazed out of it. Not sure why, just lazy I guess! lol I think a 5k would be okay now but knowing how pregnancy goes (all that pelvic pressure and whatnot), the running likely won't last!

I am seriously hoping that the running will last a while. Even though normally around 20 weeks they want me to take it easy since I am at risk for pre-term labor. But, man, some women out there are beasts!! I am constantly amazed!

 

[poysenivye]

Congrats, Dixie! When is your due date so I can get you added?

My 10DPO beta was 12.5, 13DPO was 63 and 17DPO was 300 with a doubling time of 42 hours. It needed to be atleast 252 so I'm happy it's over that but I was hoping for a bit higher. I go back for another beta on Monday. I don't know why but I'm feeling a bit down. I feel like everyone I see online has higher HCG and doubling times than me at this point. After my last pregnancy being a miscarriage, I'm feeling pretty down and pessimistic today

Shilo!! Don't be down, your numbers are doubling great!! Baby glue to you!

 

[DixiePrincess]

So I afraid my test was lighter this morning. So worried it a chemical.

 

[kit603]

Dixie - Fingers crossed that it was just less concentrated urine or something. Maybe wait 48 hours and test again to be sure? x

I'm really stressed out today Was super excited this morning because my Clearblue Digital went from 1-2 weeks to 2-3 weeks and I'm still only 13dpo, and then this afternoon I've had some spotting and a lot of cramping.

It was brown blood rather than pink/red and it wasn't a LOT of spotting, it was actually pretty light. But, I was already worried because of having MCs before and now I'm terrified

Brown blood is the best blood to have I hear...Bleeding is very scary, but if it makes you feel better...3 or my 5 kiddos had bleeding all throughout my pregnancy. And they are all still around now to drive me bonkers.

Goodness! That is a lot of expenses!! I am very blessed that the service receives free healthcare. I had one baby on Medicaid, but it seemed like the only options available to me at the time were doctors that could only "squeeze me in" . So, I felt like a number there, definitely not a prego girly. Why is your husband there again? I have always wanted to visit!

Thanks hun I know my mum had bleeding all through her pregnancies with me and my sister whenever her period would have ordinarily been due - both times she didn't realise she was pregnant until about 6 months because she thought she was till having periods

I'm slightly reassured that it's brown and it's relatively light spotting, but with my previous MCs it started off like this and then got gradually brighter/heavier. Fingers crossed its not the case this time... my line progression does look good.

 

[poysenivye]

So, let me ask...how many of you ladies have become undie/toilet paper stalkers? Meaning...you definitely examine both when using the restroom?

[coucou11]

OMG Poysenivye - YES! Why does that happen? I keep thinking my period is starting late because it feels like it - then I check and nothing. So bizarre. Also hoping that things get sorted out for you soon, how stressful!

Kit - big hugs to you and wishing you the best! I think it sounds like the spotting is very light and nothing to worry about. I had some my first pregnancy (a couple times actually in the first tri) and the doc said nothing to worry about.

Dixie - good luck to you and welcome!

Jumpingo - can't wait to see you start getting some solid positives! Yay for June Bugs!

Shilo - I think those numbers are awesome! That's a big jump, and no need to compare yourself to anyone else, we are all different.

Desi - I am 33 and turning 34 in January, so close to you Feel very very lucky that so far TTC hasn't been too affected due to age. I have many friends who are very concerned as they approach 35.

Nothing new from me - gonna wait and test again on Monday with an IC and see if it's gotten darker, and then call the doc this week to go in for a blood test. The first trimester is always such a crapshoot - you want to be excited but it's also so scary... you want it to be over but you also want to enjoy every moment of development. I just don't know what to think!

Why is your husband there again? I have always wanted to visit!

He is Japanese, Japan is his home

Hang in there Kit. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you that your baby will be sticky.

Poysenivye- I am also a knickers/loo roll stalker...I'm just so so terrified.

Girls what do you think to these? I'm worried that my line isn't dark, I think it is getting darker though...what do you think? (Yes I know I'm a crazy lady for testing every day...)

My boobs have stopped hurting as much...is that a bad sign? Man I'm a nervous wreck!

I had a dream last night though that I was pregnant with twins. Probably because every time I talk about a baby to my husband he stops me and corrects me and says "babies" lol...he wants boy-girl twins badly. I don't think chances are very high for him though but I'm glad he is all excited!

i dunno, you DID get a positive really early

Uh, me! Especially last night when I was having some pain on my ectopic side. Fortunately all clear and I'm now pretty confident that the pain is just normal stuff.
