Anyone recently found out they were pregnant?

[Alisa SD]

I just got my BFP on the 16th, about 15dpo, DH and I are both super excited but still very nervous since it is so early. I took another test today just to be sure and it is still positive but didn't look any darker to me. I'm a little worried because I don't really have any symptoms, just full-slightly-sore bbs and a little heartburn, along with occasional mild cramps.
It seems like my symptoms have been fading since I got the BFP...shouldn't they be getting stronger if my HCG is increasing like it is supposed to??? I'm worried about ectopic since my cramps seem to be on only one side, it's almost like I can feel exactly where the baby is...is this normal?? the cramps are not strong and only happen every once in a while and I haven't had any bleeding, so I hope it doesn't mean anything. Has any one else had cramps only on one side and everything was fine??

I can relate with everything you said 100%!
My husband and I are very cautious as well. But the more days that go by, the more its sinking in!
I was just reading about ectopic pregnancies as well! That's when I came over here for some support. I have some mild cramping, from the right side and the left side. I believe its just my uterus stretching and nothing abnormal. I am PRAYING for twins actually. I go in for my first prenatal appointment 12/14 so baby can get his first PICTURE. Per the babycenter due date calculator, my DD is 07/24/12. We're gonna be MOMMIES!!!!

Glad I am not the only one with this no symptoms problem! I am hoping for twins too, I am a fraternal twin and they run in both sides of my family! but right now I just feel the twinges mostly on one side so probably not, but we can always hope From what I have been reading it's a little early to feel symptoms for ectopic pregnancy and since there's no bleeding it's probably just stretching (i hope!) My guestimate DD from babycenter is 07/24/13 too!

Congratulations!!!! This is a very exciting and beautiful time for us both!!! Like my friend told me, "The hard part is OVER until the PUSHING starts!!!" We DID it!!!!

The only symptom I have is that I can smell really good. That's it. I think I started getting morning sickness at six weeks with my daughter.

I recently found out just a couple of days ago. I do have some symptoms, but I think they are being overshadowed by the fact I have a nasty cold. Some foods that I have eaten before and been fine with are becoming overwhelmingly sweet and it's kind of icky. This may sound weird, but also my stomach constantly feels warm and watery and it feels SO good, actually!! Anybody else have that symptom in their stomach?

6 weeks and 2 days today! yay! hope this is my sticky baby! i have 2 doc appts next week and one tomorrow (paperwork and maybe ultrasound tomorrow) congrats to everyone else...I dont think I will get the HCg levels thing until next week when I go...

 

[MDeziel78]

OMG just got my numbers 80.50 they trippled.
that is 24.7 hrs doubling time.

Thats so EXCITING!! You must be so releived

Thank u so much I am I got more bloodwork monday.

Good luck today with your bloodwork today
Im suppose to get my results today from mine.....
Lets hope we both get the results we deserve and want!!

thank you, I see your results. I would not worry about it. As long as it is doubling or more. Are you going to get a 3rd beta done?

I believe they are checking it again, my doc is back in tomorrow and they are calling me results of progesterone....she usually does a 6 week scan as well, so hoping for that!! I took a CBD today and it read 2-3 and if I read correctly you have to have a hcg level of at least 200 for that reading...so it means I went from 37 on FRiday to 200 or more today...

Im not sure I'm doing this multi posting correctly on this thread...lol Im new to this???

Have they ever found any hormone imbalance or other problems to show a reason for your recurrent losses??

Now that the initial shock of being pregnant is wearing down a little i do remember that i had a high temperature during or right after ovulation and lasted almost a week or so, maybe longer, cant remember. I was so hot at night and im always freezing! Then at about three weeks i was really congested. When i did my workout routine in the morning i was getting nautious and sickly so i switched it to working out in the evening, i believe that was at 3 1/2 to 4 weeks. This week, week 5 my senses are really strong. I can smell food from across the room!

I am with you both. I just found out on the 8th. I was not expecting it at all as I have endometrosis and was told I would more than likely never get pregnant. I go off bc in May just not to deter anything but never expected to actually get pregnant. I am constantly worrying that something bad is going to happen. I am trying to have faith that all will be ok but it is so hard. Not too many understand if they didn't have issues getting pregnant or didn't have problems when they were pregnant. My first doc appt is the 23rd...hoping then I will be a little less uptight and scared.

I hope all is still going well. I have endometrosis as well and my tubes were partially blocked with scar tissue & such so my chances were not good at all. We were ntnp for four year then the last 16 months we really watched & tried everything. I also did some reflexology at home, i think that is what it was called on you tube, basically massaging the tummy and the toes to unblock the tubes, who knows if it worked, but i tried it for over a month & i got a bfp!!

you know I absolutely will! Hopefully I get the U/S tomorrow but I am sure they will...hope to hear a heartbeat but won't freak out if I don't! I am praying for us all to have happy healthy pregnancies...

All my blood test were normal then I went in to do a saline ultrasound and the RE said there was a septum. It was a partial septum but it was the reason for my twins/triplet loss. They implanted on it and it is very poor blood flow so they cannot get the nutrition and blood they need and they grew to as much as they could before the pregnancy could not be sustained by the blood flow in the septum. Mine was a little over 2 cm which is pretty big probably half my uterus. I had it resected in Dec. The RE said start trying again and if I have not gotten pregnant in 3 months come back and they will do a follow up to make sure it was all gone (even though he should have done it before we were trying again.). Well when I thought I was out I scheduled my appt for followup and then had to cancel because I found out I was pregnant but it implanted late like 13 or 14 dpo b/c I did not get a bfp till 15dpo but I might had gotten one at 14dpo b/c I stopped testing at 11dpo b/c I thought I was out. Well mc at 5 wks and went in to have the followup it was very painful this time. But he said he did not see any septum left so I was good to go. I just hope that he was right I don't know if I can go threw it again.

Good luck on your blood test. That is great about the digital.

Got my beta back yesterday.As I was posting updates from my phone on the forum I fell alseep.
406.07

So all three are
11 dpo 22.4 progestrone 43.98
13 dpo 80.5 doubling time 24.7 hrs.
16 dpo 406.07 doubling time 32 hrs

So higher side of normal betas, higher side of normal pregesterone, levels that are tripling and almost tripling. Does this mean maybe 2, or a girl or is it just a very sticky baby. Either way is fine with me.

I just found out friday that im pregnant after a week of waking up EXTREMELY nauseous all week. I was kinda in denial because I had really just decided to put off trying til we move next year. The craziest part is I have pcos so my cycles were irregular and were once every other month so by tracking im like 8+weeks. I have an apt tomorrow so im so anxious. Glad I found this thread. Good luck to all of u lady's!

I just found out the 10th. I am the same way. So scared. Twelve pregnancy tests. I had an appointment today. I am 10 weeks pregnant. And I still feel like everything is gonna turn out to be a lie. I feel like I am lying to everyone. But I do have sore boobs and I have been nauseated for the past week. This is my first pregnancy. And I don't know how I am supposed to feel. My fiancé is very happy. As am I. Just a bit scared. don't stress though. Less bad things happen when you aren't stressed.

Yay! Glad to see there are many of us! How's everyone been feeling. I can't wait to be at the six week mark on Sunday! I've been taking prenatal vitamins & vitamin c for months. I was also taking psyllium husk to stay regular. Does anyway know if it is ok to continue taking it? My 1st doc appt isn't until Dec 21st.
