30 years old, A little preggers, due on May 12. Bump buddies?

[Rachel789]

I really do not have many symptoms, I kind of want to feel more so I actually feel pregnant. (I may regret saying that if morning sickness kicks in ).

I do have major bloating though that hasnt gone away, which makes wearing jeans VERY uncomfortable. I feel a little cramp/twinge here and there but thats it. I always thought if I was pregnant my boobs would be sore, but they feel fine!

I got my blood test results back today and I have to go in again tomorrow and Tuesday to make sure the levels are going up as they should. MY HCG was 206 from yesterdays draw and once they reach 1500+ which should happen by Tuesday my dr. will see me a week later for my first scan So I should be 6 weeks then. Most drs don't scan that early but I am still with my RE so I think they monitor you more close early on.

I went in to a doctors office and asked for a blood test... I didn't believe the two tests I took lol. I am hoping I follow in my moms footsteps and don't get morning sickness haha. THese bloaty cramps really suck.

 

[pinktiara]

Took my test 9dpo and got the faintest positive. Have been getting slightly darker. I'm 31 in January got pregnant on second cycle. Will be due may 13 if it goes well I'm so emotional and tired same as I was with my first ugh.

 

[Rachel789]

I am going in for my 2nd blood draw today to make sure the levels are doubling. I took a couple more HPTs today and they look twice as dark as 2 days ago so I am hoping that is a good sign my levels doubled! I am finally starting to feel a tiny bit of soreness in my boobs today, I wouldnt even notice it if I wasnt poking at them

aknqtpie-I am also praying I don't get morning sickness. Half the people I know got it and half didn't, I hope I am one of the lucky ones!

My BBs haven't been sore either. My nips got a little tender last week, but that was about it.

So is it normal for them to have you come back so many times to get your HCG checked? My doc is not having me do that.

 

[veronica s]

OK, so I'm getting a little worried. MY HPT this morning was a tiny bit lighter than yesterday's. Although I did get up to pee at 1 am and then tested around 4:15am. Yesterday I think I got up to pee at 1 am and then tested around 5:45am. I don't know if that makes a difference. But it has me worried. Seriously, I've been thinking about it today non-stop......actually obsessing about it. I went out and bought more hpts just now, and I just feel like crying. Am I overreacting??? I think I know the answer to that.....

 

[Rachel789]

I am with a fertility specialist so I think they treat every pregnancy as high risk and have you repeat the HCG test every couple days to make sure the levels are increasing as they should. They also said once my HCG reaches 1500+ They will have me schedule an ultrasound for a week later. If my HCG keeps doubling as it should I will only be 6 weeks for my first ultrasound which is really early. I think the norm is 8-10 weeks. Once all is good, maybe after the first trimester my current dr. will release me to go to my regular ob.

 

[Rachel789]

I wouldnt worry about that at all. After you get your first + you should really stop testing. I tested again today and mine was darker however I wasnt testing daily, this was 2 days after my last test. But I am going to stop testing now so I don't drive myself crazy if the line changes, it's not worth it. When is your first appt? If it would put your mind at ease maybe you can ask your dr. to get your blood drawn to check your levels then get it redrawn 2-3 days later to make sure they are doubling.

 

[aknqtpie]

Stop testing!! You will drive yourself bonkers! I tested one FRER, then did a digi the next morning to confirm.. and then did one more line.. but no more!!! haha.

 

[pinktiara]

I test everyday haha my lines get darker and darker but I find if I wake up to pee and a few hours later test than of course the line I lighter I wouldn't worry at all. My boobs are killin me and getting bigger already same with my first one. I was a bit crampy last night i assume implantation. Oh yes I am also super bloated like 4 months pregnant bloated lol

Hey ladies! I see a few familiar names on here, looks like I found ya'll

Anyways, I would love to join you ladies. I am due May 1 2013! (according to LMP)

I got my BFP today. I wasn't even planning on testing til Monday! I jumped on here after a couple day absence and my POAS addict came out while I was getting ready for dinner with DH and a friend of his. I looked over and not even 2 minutes later there was a beautiful BFP. I left immediately to go get one from the Dollar Store which was positive also. I'm going to take another in the AM and confirm with a digi, then stop testing. (try to atleast lol)

DH and I will have been together 3 years in May next year when Baby Powell will be due. He is 26 and I am 24, 25 in October. We've been married since January 30 2012
