as hard as not testing is, my advice is step away from the tests.:hugs: today you are pregnant! pregnancy after loss is so hard...just take it one day at a time. i actually let myself be in denial for a good while, just to "protect" myself mentally and emotionally. not saying it was the best plan, but i survived!:haha:
 
Im still testing.. lol!
The line comes quicker and it gets darker everytime. Think I am geting to the point I feel like I can just relax.

I got myself a ticker :) in my signature. Didnt want to right after like I did before but felt like If I am going to try to relax and enjoy this, no matter the outcome, I should do everything I want and ir related to being pg :)

Also I ordered my fyrst u/s :D november 9th! :D Will be about 7 weeks I think :D
 
ReadynWaiting, I did the test this morning and it wasn't darker than my previous line. Mind you the last one was pretty dark. Assay said, now this makes me worry. I guess it would be easier on me if I had morning sickness or something, but I don't feel anything.

You're right jumpingo, I need to step away from the tests. I also play the denial and still say "if" when it comes to the baby. I just don't want to get too attached.
 
Ttc you could also be dealing with the hook effect. I'm all for testing up to 5 wks but after that you are playing with fire. At this point an u/s is the best indicator of anything. Even hcg levels can cause stress if they aren't doubling like they were. Is your scan tomorrow? I can't keep track of who goes when. Lol
 
Happy Monday...ok maybe not :haha:, but I am trying to think it is a new week and one step closer to all of us being past the dreaded first trimester. I hope everyone is doing well.

Welcome oilymomma!

I tested probably 5-7 times but I think I am done. Got my 3+ weeks on a digi and called it a day...well except for that one last one I took the morning of my first ultrasound because I am a crazy person :rofl: Now it makes me too stressed to think about it I saw a lighter line because of the hook effect or too much water, but I totally getting assurance that comes with a couple dark lines.

My MS is fully here I believe. I am not sure if it is normal because I do not vomit but I have this low to medium grade nausea that usually starts in the afternoon through the early evening. Sometimes eating makes it better and then sometimes worse. Trying to figure out a pattern. Although I do not want it to go away totally...again crazy person over here. Ha!
 
Hey ladies! Hope you don't mind me joining your group! This is my first time ever being pregnant so I'd love all the support I could get. My predicted due date is June 29! I go for my first ultrasound on November 14th. Feeling pretty exhausted today, can't wait to get home and nap! How is everyone else doing?
 
I stopped testing myself around 20dpo. The lines weren't "behaving" every time I tested and it was stressful so I stopped. Everything is fine though because I had a scan today and there was my viable little one with a strong heart beat. I do have a small sch tho so have been told to rest for 2 weeks.

I say, yep testing is a false sense of security but I it makes you happy, do it!
 
Thanks ready, it was a huge relief, especially as my uterus has felt "sore" since the day before my BFP. Not crampy, just sore, it is a weird feeling that I never had before.
 
Are there some things you have been wondering about or are maby troubling you about your pregnancy, birth or after delivery that you have started wondering about or even thought about before geting pg?

There are two things that have been on my mind.

One is that we live in a town that we dont know lot of ppl. Been kind of hard geting to know ppl. Dh has good work buddies but none that he hangs out with after work and I have been in university since I started and got to know lot of ppl but only like ppl you like to chat with in school and if you bump into them. Some of them I would like to get to know better and make my friend :) but just not gone that far yet. Only person I have bonded with that much lives in a nearby town 30-40 min drive away. We have no relatives here and our closest one (mum, dad, siblings) all live about 4-5 hour drive away.
So what concerns me is what do we do when I get into labor.. I mean bout our two boys? Do I have to be alone on the hospital.. hope to deliver while they are at school or what..? I am not sure if our parents could come and stay with us for like 2-3 weeks until thebaby is due, I mean they do have their work and their lives (well my inlaws have stopped working). also, not sure If I could handle have someone in my home for that long period. I love them all dearly but, well. So I dont have a clue how we will do this haha.

The other thing is that we live in a terrace house? (thats what google translate gives me.. it is like two story houses and all of them connected! Like 5 apartments in a row on the sideway not up.. Mine is like two story, with patio and garage). And there are so many cats in the naibourhood and they come alot in our garden and onto our patio. Here in Iceland it is custom to let babys sleep outside (they are well clothed and in special sleeping bags) in a pram (our is similar to this one)

And I am afraid of the cats geting in the pram and sit on the babys face or something, peeing in it.. I know it has happened (maby not sit on the babys face, but get in with the baby and pee in prams, specialy if they are cept outside like if baby wakes up and you get it in and let the pram be outside just for a short while).. do you have any advice about how we can keep the damn cats out of our yeard?!
I mean, I look out and they are trying to catch birds in the trees in the garden, there ar cat poo here and there in the grass and sometimes if I am watchin Tv and look up and out the window they are just siting on the patio staring at me!
 
ReadynWaiting - I have my next scan on Friday. It's actually not that bad waiting, but I just want to get through the next couple weeks so I know I am in the clear.

Catalyst - I can't help you with the kids issue. We are choosing c section so that we can plan around moving the kids to family when we have the baby. I find it interesting about the baby sleeping outside. I know from pictures when I was little, my parents did had me nap outside in Canada too. What is the meaning behind that? Is it that you always have the baby sleep outside, at night too?
 
No not at night :)
I think it is an old tradition. They just sleep realy well, at least my boys did. Much longer naps than inside. Always warm and happy when they came in. Like slewping in a tent I think, always thought it was cozy and would love adult one hahahaha (crazy).

But you gave me an Idea. My inlaws have stopped working. Maby there is a chance oue boys could stay with them for a while since school finishes early june. Hadnt thought of that! Thanx ;)
 
Crazy glad ur scan went well. My appt ain't until November 14th and that seems ages away

I've heard of that tradition in Iceland. Until what age do you have them nap outside?

It's so interesting the different customs in different cultures. The first time I heard about putting babies outside to sleep I was horrified, because it's just not something I'd ever heard of before.

Mind you, I'm sure every culture has customs that baffle and horrify other cultures. :)
 
Ttc-I hear ya on wanting to skip the next few weeks. I just want to know this bean is ok.

Here in Denmark we also let the kids sleep outside in all kinds of weather. We do it as long as they fit in the pram and stroller.
The kids sleep way better outside and it's good for their health. And the chance of a baby getting kidnapped here is 0%. My mom would leave me sleeping outside on the street when she went shopping, to restaurants and so on.

Regarding the cats, you can get a screen to cover the pram when it's raining. That way the cats can't get to the baby.
