2015 MARCH-MALLOWS... Due in March 2015!! Come join us!

[Mya209]

Only had one blood test in the whole of my last pregnancy and I think that was at 10 weeks. There isn't a lot of contact here and with second babies even less midwife appointments than before

Hey guys!! I just got a BFP yesterday ( and again this morning). We have been trying/not preventing for 8 years so I am kinda blown away right now.

I have had a little bit of spotting ( pink) this morning which is making me super nervous.

Anyway according to my due date calculator I will be due March 8th. I of to my OB in a few weeks.

Welcome javajack, congrats on your BFP, same EDD as me!

Wow!!! BFP long overdue eh? Congrats!!

AFM I had to reschedule my initial prenatal appointment for later this month but wanted to get blood work done sooner than that. I found a place that does lab work for cheap (well, cheap compared to other quotes I got) so I will go in at noon to have my blood drawn for an HCG number. By the time I go back, it may be a week later but I can at least get an idea of how I am doing!! Feeling ok.

I tested last night with a First Response and the test line was darker than the control line. When I tested with FMU the test line was even darker, which I have read means there is so much HCG it is using up all the dye for the test line. Hopefully that is a good sign.

The bottom one is July 1st and the test on top is from FMU this morning

They are blazing mamatex!

 

[missfrick]

Just got a call ordering a recheck of my levels... Fingers crossed!

Congrats to the new BFPs excited to share the journey!

HCG came back at 4,045. Nurse said that is great and that the higher your levels get, the longer it takes them to double. Yay!

Yes. I was so relieved to see the line has gotten darker since I tested. Granted, it was with a different pink dye test than I used when I was 12, 13, and 14 dpo but the lines on the first two tests were pretty early. Yesterday I was 5 weeks so these tests were 19dpo and 20dpo.



Oh and update on my bloods: I scheduled for this afternoon but I think it would be less stress on me if I go in next week. My husband is off and we need to get some things out of the way today.

Presently eating a nectarine for my mid morning snack!!

Huge congrats javajack. I can't imagine how happy you must be feeling after waiting so long for it. Has anyone else avoided having sex since finding out? I know I'm being stupid but can't help it. I just can't stand the thought of doing it with a baby inside me.

I have been too tired at the end of the day lately for sex, but orgasms are good for you during pregnancy. Unless your doctor identifies a problem and tells you otherwise, I would have sex if you feel good enough to have it! The baby has no idea what is going on. Happy mommy, happy baby!!

Look at those beautiful, blazing lines!

Fantastic numbers Chelsea!

Molly I haven't DTD either, been so tired and not been in the mood at all! If it's anything like my other pregnancies, my libido should reappear, so I'm not too worried

Mamatex, you'd be able to have a scan by next week rather than bloods!!!

 

[dan-o]

Omg I just ate a few squares of dark chocolate, and I'm now groaning with nausea and clammy.
Yay for symptoms, but ughhhhhh lol

 

[MrsKChicago]

I just haven't been in the mood at all. DH hasn't complained, I think he's probably a little freaked out by the idea.

 

[lucy1]

Off to see Elton John tonight wooooo but feel like I've been hit with a bus, I am so so tired! Had a weak coffee at 3 and just about to have another one (my fill of caffeine for the day, I don't usually drink it so hoping it will help me get through it as he's on until late).

Must keep reminding myself, I am pregnant not ill

 

[Laska5]

We DTD once since we found out on Sunday. Hubby has just been all puffed up & prideful (in a cute & funny way) since then! He's all like "I've still got it" & saying funny things (he has an 18 year old as well). He's been wanting to DTD pretty much everyday but I've been so tired & not in the mood!! Kinda feel bad that I keep rejecting him. lol.

 

[Missbx]

Anyone not had any sickness yet? I'm about 5weeks 2days or 4 weeks 5 days still not been sick or felt it x

 

[Loozle]

We haven't dtd since finding out either actually. Although it's mainly because (warning, tmi!) the progesterone pessaries have me constantly leaking, which isn't exactly a turn on
I'm 5 weeks tomorrow! although I have been worrying today as my symptoms seem to have gone?? Here's hoping they're back tomorrow!

 

[Mya209]

I felt a bit sick but have felt normal the last few days

 

[chelsealynnb]

Uuuurgh, I'm calculating all my beta numbers and am starting to get a little worried because my doubling time is increasing so much

Between first and second: doubling time of 24.3 hours

third and fourth: 31.5 hours

fifth and sixth: 72.85 hours

I know the doubling time is supposed to increase the higher your HCG levels get but this is really concerning me!!

 

[dan-o]

Loozle I gave up putting them there when I was pregnant with ds2, what a mess they make, they always go up the back door now! Gross but necessary, and fairly mess free lol
