2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Got my first blood draw today at 4+4 (according to lmp) and got 784!! So happy right now I can't believe its that high. Don't know if my doc will do a second draw on Friday or not so we will see! :dance:

Excellent result!

GP - yay!! For zofran :thumbup:

I've been at a play centre with my little two all morning and my friend who knows so we've been talking practicalities of four kids (eeeekkk!!) this morning, don't know if I feel better or worse LOL
 
Ugh, the bloat. I feel gross. I may see if I can find some cheap maternity pants to ease into for comfort until I'm at the point to seriously shop for maternity clothes.

You will thank yourself for buying some comfy maternity pants, it's awful feeling 'squished' lol I'm favouring maxi dresses (summer over here) as they are so much more comfy.
 
So mad at my body. Here we go again so I got my results and have had to start progesterone inserts and I had yo increase my neupogyn because my white blood count is at a lower level then it should be for a pregnant woman. Tomorrow I find out if my little bug will be viable. Prays lady's its going to be a bumpy trimester for me.
 
Lil pixie I live in Chicago :p

Someone at work today saw me and was all, is that a bump?!?! My stomach is a lot bigger than it was 2 week ago. Not a crazy lot but definitely noticeable. Lol the girls at work are so pregnancy conscious.
 
Hi Ladies. How r u today ? I read that most of you r from the States.
I am Greek and leave on an island :-D. (U know you should visit Greece in the summer , don't u ? :-D :-D )

I've been to New York and Las Vegas. Both where amazing places and would really love to visit more states in the future.
So, writing here is really nice as I excersise my English and it's beatiful to speak with People from all over the world and change thoughts.
 
Serenjay, my boobies are really sore too. Taking my bra off tonight really hurt. It sounds like yours are even more sensitive if it hurts to have a nighty on them. I'm sorry!
And girls, I hear ya with the bloat! I'm only 4 weeks and suddenly the bloat came out of nowhere today! I tried on my lingerie for Valentines Day and I can barely fit it. I ordered it a month ago and didn't expect this to be a problem. I don't think I was this bloated this fast last time. Oh well.
DH doesn't know I'm pregnant yet, I'm making him a Valentines Day card and announcing it in there for him. It's so hard keeping this secret!!! We are celebrating on Friday instead of Saturday since that's the night we could get a sitter, so at least I only have to stay quiet for a little bit longer...

Any fun Valentines Day plans for you gals?
 
Tink1o5, yes from Greece. Have you ever been ?
shellgirl, your idea is so romantic!!!!!
I am sure you will have great time and your DH will be thrilled and surprised!!!
As for symptoms, I have nausea before having my possitive Beta, shore boobs and great bloating. However I had an IVF and probably bloating is from mild Ohss.
No plans for Valentine's till today. Hope my DH has a surprise for me.
 
We don't really do valentines. Just something we never got into the habit of.

Shellgirl that's so adorable! What a lovely valentines you guys will have :)

Wow so many new ladies while I was sleeping!! We come to all of you :flower:

My boobs are sore but nothing like that :hugs: I think to meme tippee do cooling pads if they're still really hot. They're for early days of breastfeeding but it might be worth a try?

Just got on the bus and I'm so HUNGRY! I won't be at the office for at least 90 mins - 2 hrs :-( gonna be a looong morning. . .
 
Oh yea. The days a really dragging by for me too. Feels like an age but we haven't even know about this baby for two weeks yet.
 
Welcome new ladies :flower:

We've no real plans for Valentine's. My ex was meant to have
DS but his wee bit booked them away so he cancelled. So we'll probably order in and watch a film.

I've been feeling really tearful and over emotional the past few days. I forgot how crappy 1st tri could feel.
 
Welcome new ladies!

I love how spread out our group is, ladies from all over the world! I really loved visiting America. Did the West coast which was fab, but next time would love to see the East coast.

I'm going to stop testing now. Just got a 3+ on my digi so I'm happy with that for now.

My moods are crazy, I've been so weepy but now I'm just so angry all the time! I'm so unpredictable!
 
Hi there! I saw the link to your group in another thread and would like to join. I got my BFP yesterday with an EDD of 10/21. I'm a mommy to my 20 month old spitfire daughter :) Can I just say I love the name of the group?! I love owls and it's actually the theme of my daughter's room!

Hi, welcome to the group :) congrats on your pregnancy!

Owls are awesome aren't they. My Gran actually loves them and collects anything owl related, I'm working on a cross stitch design for her.

Good to see we still have some new ladies joining in! This thread still moves sooo fast - takes me a good part of my mornings here to catch up with all the overnight chatter!!!

I have a bit of long haul work travel coming up in early March.... (Oz to Canada, so 26 hours of flying) which is going to be full on! I'm used to the 13 hr LA trip - but this will be the first time doing it without the aid of sleeping tablets to get my time zones sorted en route...so I'm a bit worried i will get no sleep on the plane and be ruined when i get there for my meetings! I guess we will see!

Ahh yes I hear you! I was taking temazepam to help my nerves last time I flew - I'll just have to take deep breaths this time!!

Hi ladies. Can I join in. Got my second beta today and the numbers are looking good so I wanted to join a group of ladies going through the same things. My EDD is October 25th.

I'm about 4 weeks along. Had one MC last year but my fingers are crossed because my betas then were barely above 5 and didn't increase. This time I got an 87 and a 283 today. And I threw up this morning at work. I don't know why, but I was kind of happy. Made me feel like this is really happening because it's still so surreal.

Anyway, wishing you all a h&h 9 months.

Hi hun welcome and congrats! Sounds really promising!

Got my first blood draw today at 4+4 (according to lmp) and got 784!! So happy right now I can't believe its that high. Don't know if my doc will do a second draw on Friday or not so we will see! :dance:

:happydance:

Hi ladies, got my bfp two weeks ago, im due on the 6th October can i be added to the group please

Welcome and congrats!! Lovely to see so many joining! :) :)

Welcome to all the new ladies :D xx

Girls Im in so much pain with my boobies!! I have soaked them in a bath too.. then remembered I had to climb out and dry them... nipples are so sensitive I cant even have a sports bra..normal bra or nightie on them... and bad ligament pain around my groin... anyone else suffering these? x

:hugs: sounds like you're having an awful time with them, mne are bad but not that bad, bath soak seems to be helping mine. I hope yours settle soon hun.

Can I join you lovely ladies?

Got my bfp on 30th Jan. can't believe any of it is real at all as my period wasn't due to start until today (usually 34-37 day cycles, and I know i wasnt pg last month!) so it picked up very very early on a frer (13 days early and so Typically I am the awkward one!) . 7 tests (okay more like 10!) later and still two lines getting darker. Booking appt not til march so in some strange out of body state until then. So far, nothing out of the ordinary apart from overwhelming urge for liquorice allsorts 3dpo. I cannot abide them and need to leave a room they are in normally, so me shoving handfuls down my throat like it was an elixir of youth made me wary.....

All being well, and depending on which calculator to believe (lmp 8th Jan, cycle avg above)EDD is either 15th Oct (mine and Boyf's 9th anniversary!!) or 22nd Oct, but I guess this will be cleared up in time. So no one make any plans for halloween just in case. Havent told family yet as it's not sunk in and our first month NTNP so just taking each day as it comes. This will be our first so looking forward to keeping updated (all being well) H&H 9M to all!!! Xx:hugs:

Welcome and congrats!! :happydance: weird about the licorice allsorts lol!

Welcome to the new ladies!

Guys, I'm six weeks tomorrow and feel like I need maternity pants already. My clothes fit, they just don't fit "right" and everything is so uncomfortable! My tummy feels bruise and my hips are sore. I wish I could wear yoga pants to the office. Ugh.

Omg I'm the same everything's just not quite right. It's a nightmare lol.

So mad at my body. Here we go again so I got my results and have had to start progesterone inserts and I had yo increase my neupogyn because my white blood count is at a lower level then it should be for a pregnant woman. Tomorrow I find out if my little bug will be viable. Prays lady's its going to be a bumpy trimester for me.

:hugs: FIngers crossed for you hun I hope everything turns out fine. xx

Ahhh Greece in the summer sounds fab! Scottish summers are a bit less hot lol.

Wow that's an amazing way to tell him! I couldn't keep it in lol had to tell oh straight away, he was at work so I text him asking to call me when he got a minute and the wait for him to phone back was excruciating! :rofl:

We're not big on valentines day and plus we will be flying into bangkok on the day lol we'll just be exploring with the rest of the family who are also going. And trying to not tell anyone about the pregnancy :shock:

5 weeks completed. Feels like time is moving slowly :)

Oh yea. The days a really dragging by for me too. Feels like an age but we haven't even know about this baby for two weeks yet.

Yes t does feel draggy at the moment, 2.5 weeks since bfp but seems ages, and scan still an age away. Going on holiday should help me take my mind off obsessing though.

Welcome new ladies :flower:

We've no real plans for Valentine's. My ex was meant to have

I've been feeling really tearful and over emotional the past few days. I forgot how crappy 1st tri could feel.

:hugs: the hormones send emotions all over the place ey :flow: it's nuts.

That's a bit naff of your ex :hugs: I hope you have a nice evening in.

RIght I should get ready for work, still got packing to do afterwards!!!!!!!! We fly tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:
 
I would feel better if i had an actual appointment booked. Being told someone will call me between 9-12 weeks is a bit meh tbh :( So yeah i feel that time is going backwards haha.
 
Hi all, welcome new ladies H&H 9 months xx

I am finding this bit is going really fast.. I am coming up to 7 weeks already.. im scared :cry: I cant stop crying.. I have so much anxiety and nightmares have been worse so not sleeping.. working fulltime where no one knows and I have today off work but I just want to sleep.. im cancelling an exam I had later today as I am so stressed.

OH cant do anything to help me.. everything is making me get palpitations with worry..boobs so sore and nauseated so much..sipping ice cold water with 3/4 ice.

As for valentines we dont normally do anything.. but this year at 6pm we will be sat with our midwife at the local birthing centre hospital having our 1st appointment.. and I cant wait to tell her how I have been feeling as I feel so rough :cry:
 
We live in Melbourne, Australia. Yet to fix an appointment for my first scan. When did you ladies scan for the very first time ? 6 weeks or 8 weeks ?
 
Rhi I can imagine that feels naff tbh :hugs: I hope they do call you on time and get things organised.

Serenjay :hugs: you're doing an awful lot. Try to be kind to yourself :flow:

KrazyMomma here we get paperwork appointment at 8 weeks and first scan at 12. Xx
 
Im just so emotional Tally :cry: must be hormones xxx

Krazymomma here in UK we have scans at 12 weeks but as I have had 7 early mc I was offered a scan at what I thought was 6weeks 1 day but baba was there with heartbeat measuring 6 weeks 2 days on 9th feb.. a few women only get to see the yolk sac etc then so I would wait till 8 weeks to be sure you can see something. (all depends when Baba implanted..some implant later)

I have another on 23rd I will be 8 weeks 2 days as its a follow up with the EPAU to make sure baba is still growing. Then my normal scan at 12 weeks. x
