Any one have to wait until after AF is late for a BFP?

Hi ladies! Sorry I haven't been on much- between starting to get ready to go back to school, closing on the new house and all the pre wedding festivities for a wedding DH and I are in next week- its been a little crazy around here... And most of my spare time is now spent napping!
Amanda- OMG!!! :happydance: CONGRATS!!!! Couldn't be happier for you!!! MrsD and I are both due around 4/4 so we are all close! Think the thread has hit a lucky streak... Piece- you are next! I can feel it ;-)
Hope everyone is doing well!
 
Thanks kla!! I am absolutely ecstatic!! I have definitely been feeling more tired and my nausea is kicking in MUCH earlier this time around. With my son I had zero symptoms until I was 8-9 weeks along so, so far this is a completely different pregnancy. Maybe I am having a little girl?? Are you and MrsD finding out the gender??
 
I am hearing from more and more people that they didn't start getting sick until later in their pregnancies... One friend didn't start with morning sickness until 3months with her daughter- and 2 with her son! I am sooooo hoping I dont start getting sick right when I have to go back to work!
Not sure about MrsD but I am not going to find out the gender. DH wants to but I have told him for as long as we've been together that I won't want to find out. Something about that scene in the delivery room where the doctors calls out "it's a..." I want that :-) did you plan on finding out?
 
I don't know to be honest... We found out with our son but this might be our last baby and I think a surprise would be so amazing! But when the time comes when I know I could know... It will be so hard to resist!!
 
I know what you mean! I am on Pinterest constantly pinning nursery decor and ideas...I'm afraid I'll cave when the chance to know comes. But I am going to do my best to stay strong! Lol!
 
Kla, how are you? I must say that you are truly missed. I need you to relax and don't forget that I will be sending my shower package to you when you are having one.

I am not here very often anymore because as stated I am taking a break or may even stop ttc completely. If I do I will make arrangement if it can be done to turn over my son education college fund to your little one as a gift from me.

Not feeling well of late, my body feels very ill so maybe its starting to shut down and push me into the more mature part of my life.

Once again the biggest congratulation to you. I always thought going green is best but sometimes you could become overwhelm with excitement and cave. Anything you decide it ideal with me. Keep healthy and strong until next we communicate.
 
Sorry for the late post Amanda, I've just got back from holiday. CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm so happy for you! When do you think you're due? Are you having many symptoms yet? In answer to your question, both me and my hubby want to find out the sex of the baby. Then we can be prepared and buy things early, set up the nursery etc.

How is everyone doing? I survived my holiday...just! I am never going on holiday abroad when pregnant again! I was ok. But felt a bit ill in the evenings and was slightly ill at times. Towards the end of the week, was having a little trouble with my bowel movements (TMI!) and felt really sick. I'm wondering if this is the start of the morning sickness? Overall though we had a lovely holiday and it was great being able to tell people I was pregnant, because obviously we didn't know anyone out there!

One concern at the moment..I have been having some brown spotting. Mainly when I wipe but occasionally in my knickers. I have had this on and off for the past few days. I have read up online and most people say it's normal and don't need to worry if it's brown blood??! Can't help but worry.

Hope everyone is well and congratulations again Amanda!
 
Thank you MrsD!! According to my LMP I am due April 24th! So far this pregnancy has been very different from my pregnancy with my son. With my son I had zero symptoms until I was between 8 and 9 weeks pregnant. This time around at nearing 5 weeks I have terrible insomnia, nausea and headaches and at night time slight heart burn. Hoping for a baby girl this time around!!
 
Hey Kla, how are you.

Finally got blood works back from the lab. The below I pulled from the report.

FSH - 3.91 MIU/ML - Meaning I have a good supply of egg on reserves which is good I think.

LH - 4.91 MIU/ML - Meaning that I low in this area and chances are I don't ovulate and have a LH defect. I am not sure if progesterone would increase it or maybe its something much deeper.

Prolactin 5.9 Ng.ML - This is also low so I may need to talk to my doctor when I see him on Wednesday or find another doctor who deals in this type of thing. I am not sure if this is easily fixed or more indepth.

I am just surprise that I have good eggs and that what I going through is not menopause so now I have to find out what is really going on with my body.


Hell to everyone else.
 
Oh Piece, you are too generous and thoughtful but that really won't be necessary! Your friendship and support are all I need :) I am doing pretty well thankfully... A little bit off on and off nausea today- but still mainly just tired and sore boobs. Fingers crossed it stays that way...I made it through the bachelorette party for the wedding I am in, now the wedding Friday. We have another sonogram Thursday so I am looking forward to seeing the changes over the past two weeks!

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Don't automatically think the worst! You could just be coming down with a bug of some kind. Not sure how it's been in the Bahama's but our weather up here has been all over the board (50's-60's one week, 90's the next) and I know the weather can make my body feel off, too!

MrsD- Welcome back! Glad you *generally* enjoyed yourself! Hope this isn't TMI but I have had on and off constipation for the past 3 weeks or so. I find that drinking plenty of water has really helped. Also- eating more fruits and veggies than I used to. It must have been great to just let people know and enjoy being pregnant! We are telling our close family and friends this weekend- it will be 8 weeks and I'll have had 2 sonograms...2nd is Thursday so hopefully all goes well! I can't wait to be able to share this news with our loved ones! As far as your spotting goes- I wouldn't worry to much. Like you, I've heard that brown isn't anything to worry about. If it continues or gets worse, changes color etc. call your dr.

Amanda- Hope you are feeling well! Any idea when your first dr appt will be?
 
I am getting the pregnancy confirmed right now as we speak! Just waiting on lab results :)
 
Kla, giving await a fund is nothing for me. I do own a solar business, including some properties and if I not using why keep it but. I respect you for your honesty, I will be taking a trip in short order to view considering living in another country.

You ladies enjoy the pregnancy and once again congratulation to you all.
 
Spotting has been a little worse so I rang the doctor today. They got me in for an appointment straight away and are sending me for a scan tomorrow morning.

I can't stop crying. I am so scared. The bleeding is still slight but has been getting gradually worse by the day. I just want everything to be ok and I know I will be heartbroken if not.

My appointment is first thing tomorrow and I know today is going to go so slowly as a result.

I really wasn't expecting that reaction from the doctor. I thought it would be a case of.."it's very common. I'm sure it's nothing. But maybe we will send you for a scan just in case"
But instead it was "it's not uncommon but could be a miscarriage".

Piece- I certainly didn't mean to offend or hurt your feelings and I hope I didn't! I am sure there must be some way for you to gain access to the funds again to have for yourself and your own purposes? Where are you thinking of moving to? Will Dwayne be joining or will this be a fresh start for you? You know i wish you nothing but the best!!

MrsD- PLEASE stay positive. Focus on the first part of what the dr said "it's not uncommon." when I was 19 I found a lump in my right breast. I was panicking, obviously and what does the dr doing my exam say "well that's definitely not normal." yeah? No shit, Sherlock! (pardon my language!) I think that drs sometimes lose sight of the sensitivity of issues because of how often they see things... It turned out to be a benign (harmless) tumor that i still have today. Stay positive and calm! Sending lots of prayers and good wishes for you!!
 
MrsD my sister had terrible bouts of bleedingn in her first trimester and she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on July 27th. Turned out to be placenta previa and it fixed itself with a little time. Try your best not to stress Hun first trimester can be extremely common so don't give up!! I will keep you in my prayers Hun!!
 
Thank you ladies. Your support really means a lot to me. It's great having such a lovely group of ladies to share this with! I am trying to stay positive but also don't want to get my hopes up. I am spending the day doing the washing after holiday and catching up on loads of TV. At least that's kind of taking my mind off things. There has been hardly any bleeding in the last few hours, so I'm trying to see that as a good sign.
Hubby is being great too. He's going to come up with an excuse at work tomorrow to get the time off to come with me. He's telling me to relax and won't let me lift a finger! It must be hard for him too and I know he's a bit down about it.
I will of course keep you posted! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
