Pink - good luck for today / tomorrow (not sure what time zone you're in).

After worrying about no symptoms over got bloating bed on off nausea today. Feeling grim because I've still got a cold which seems to be dragging on and on.

Got a difficult weekend ahead as have three friends staying this weekend and our activities often involve a lot of drinking. It's far too early for me to tell them so am come up with a white lie but I highly doubt they'll believe it. Just hoping my symptoms don't get worse so I can at least stay up and enjoy them being here.

Kirin you could tell them you're on antibiotics for the chest infection and can't drink. They won't hold it against you later xx

Wanababy - me and BF BD last weekend (he currently lives in London but is moving at Christmas) and everything seemed fine.

That gender prediction predicts a girl but it didn't get my son right. Would love a girl though.

Hi ladies I posted yesterday and I'm being cautious but I think I may be joining you ladies! AF isn't due til the 10th but I got a faint positive yesterday at 10DPO and today at 11DPO. I would be due August 19th. I had a missed miscarriage back in August and I'm very nervous to be pregnant again. Here are my tests from today, let me know what you think. I plan on take a digital or first response this weekend to tell my fiancé.

Hi ladies :wave:
It has taken me all morning to catch up with this thread haha.
Welcome and congrats to the new ladies!
You ladies with no ms I envy you so much! I feel sick all the time it never ever goes away, I've got those sea bands on and had them on since I got them yesterday but not sure if thwyre helping really maybe a little bit! They are really digging into my wrists though, asin I have two big sore dints in my arms! Is this safe?
I have a question for you ladies... Is anyone still BDing? We did for the first time lastnight since I got my bfp. I was really nervous about it but it was absolutely fine, no cramps or anything afterwards. Which ofcourse worried me haha my body just can't win these days!

Lucky? Haha, I puked 1-2 times a day with both my girls until 20 weeks....most of us are just not far enough along yet.

Girls i'm quite excited about this one, for 2 out of 3 of my kids it is correct! and for this one its predicting girl.

In Brazil they have this "Old Wives Tales" gender prediction test that seems to have a high percentage of accuracy...

ü You will need the AGE and the MONTH when you conceived your Baby...
For example: 20 (age) and 7 (month of July)= BOY (EVEN AGE with ODD MONTH)



ð ODD AGE with ODD MONTH= GIRL
ð EVEN AGE with EVEN MONTH= GIRL
ð EVEN AGE with ODD MONTH= BOY
ð ODD AGE with EVEN MONTH= BOY

According to this I am having a girl. That's what the chinese chart says too.

I feel sick all of the time, too. 2 days after my BFP I felt exhausted, and about 2 or 3 days ago the morning sickness kicked in. I'm sure the sea bands are okay. I had the same problem as you did, they hurt my wrists too much and left big dents so I can't wear them for long.

Yeah same for me with the exhaustion it started pretty much straight away. So hard when you have a toddler to look after!
Well I took them off for a few mins and felt really sick (prob my mind mak ftdit worse knowing they weren't on lol) so put them back on haha. I've just been trying to keep myself as busy as poss today to try take my mind off it. Doesn't always work but feel better not being stuck in the house!

 

[WanaBaba]

Well I got my blood test results back they are upping my thyroid medication. Anyone else have a thyroid problem? X

 

[AerisandAlex]

Boo, go away spotting! Hopeful, have you had your docs appt yet? When I went with my first pregnancy I mentioned the brown spotting and they sent me for a 6 week scan to make sure everything was okay.

Yeah my doc just said spotting isn't too much to worry about :/ he did give me a referral for a dating scan to get done at my discretion but I wanted to wait til 7 weeks so ill see a HB!
So that's 13 days away :/
Tonight it's very dirty brown looking though so I guess that's a good sign!

I wish I had a doc like that! I am having a hard time waiting for my scan because of our MC last year, but I'm afraid to ask for anything sooner because this is new OB and I'm sure he won't want to send me to get anything done until he sees me
I had spotting when I was PG with DD and carried her without any issues The OB told me it was probably just leftover from the implantation...

 

[Luvspnk31]

Wanababa- I have hypothyroidism. I don't see the doc until the 19th, and I will run out of my meds before then, so I might try to get in sooner. I def think my numbers are up.

 

[flagirlie7]

I have been on Levothyroxine since March this year (started at 25mg, but they retested and got me up to 50mg, which I have been on ever since and it lowered my levels to like 1.7 or so). However, I can tell I am so forgetful lately that I requested they recheck it! Still waiting on results.

 

[glbaby1]

Alright ladies, I updated the front page- lemme know if you're having intuition about the gender, i'll post it up front. Also the date of your first scan!

Darkriver- do you know your due date?

Hey Ladies! And congrats and welcome to those new MTB's joining us. So my first scan Is January 8th. Found out yesterday that my DH, who is starting a new job today, has to go to Dallas for new hire training for two weeks on January 5th. Originally, he was supposed to go this Sunday, but the class is full. This is highly upsetting to me because the reason we got pregnant in the first place was so that he can have a child of his own (I already have three) and experience all of the magic that comes with pregnancy. Now he's going to miss the most important appointment of all. My biggest fear is that there is no heartbeat and I have to do a DNC... Without him :'(. And yes I tried to move the appointment but no go. Luckily, my Bestie of 27 years has agreed to go with... For now. As far as gender, with 3 girls and this is definitely the last, I am afraid to say because I may jinks it because I desperately want a boy.

Evening ladies,

Just catching up on all I've missed. Congrats to ladies who've already had positive appointments. I've been trying to remind my husband to call the GP for me at 9am the last few days to book me an appointment, but he keeps forgetting. It's silly system at my GP, you have to call in the morning to get an appointment that day or the next day and as I teach, I can't call at 9am. That's what time I have to collect my class.

I got my 2-3 weeks on a digital this evening I'm still beaming, as I was worried yesterday after my cramping got bad (in hindsight, I now know that was gas so nothing to worry about!). I can't wait to see a 3+ hopefully a week from now and then feel a little more relaxed that everything is hopefully going okay.

Is anyone having vivid dreams yet? I had a horrible one last night where I started bleeding heavily (I must have been more scared than I thought yesterday). It felt so real that when I woke up I was really upset before I realised it hadn't actually happened!

So getting to know you guys a bit better, what does everyone do for a living? I've already mentioned a million times probably, but I'm a Year 3 teacher (7/8-year-olds).

Yeah Hun you should def get a blood test done as soon as poss x

I'm a legal assistant (real estate)

 

[WanaBaba]

Just sent a pic to our family of my LO wearing a top saying "I am going to be a big sister" we were going to wait until we had a scan or heard heartbeat but my oh came in with the top I ordered and I just couldn't help myself haha! They all live in a dif country which is why we can't tell them in person. I am so excited! But now I'm feeling really nervous that something might go wrong because we've told them so early! Agh wish I could feel less anxious xx

 

[clynn11]

I think I have everything updated to the front.

Once you girls find out your first scan dates, let me know and I will add them.

If you are having intuition of gender, let me know that too as I think we're gonna test the theory out and see how many of us are right!

If your name is on the front page, I either accidentally missed your post (a lot to keep track of) or didn't see a due date for you. Let me know!

 

[clynn11]

Here was my 5 week 'bloat'. A little unhappy with myself as i'm the heaviest i've ever been getting pregnant. Hoping that eating healthyy and easy exercise will help me get totally healthy for my little babe. I'm usually around 140, right now i'm around 170 Can't wait to see this bloat turn to bump though! Will take a 6 week on Friday and compare

 

[Maisypie]

Hey Everyone,
Took me awhile to catch up of what's going on. It seems like everyone is experiencing similar symptoms. I got hit with naseau this morning, I get hungry and eat and them I feel like poo. I am also exhausted....all the time. I go for my first appointment on the 10th and then again on the 19th.
My family thinks I am going to have twins (I was on clomid and twins are in my family) but the Chinese calendar predicted a boy. I am good with whatever.

 

[PnkPolkaDots]

Just got back from my doctor's appointment. My pregnancy was confirmed with a blood test and my HCG was 380! I go back on Friday to have it checked to be sure it's rising. I was so so worried she'd tell me that I'm not really pregnant or that my number is very low and to expect AF to show up any day now.

I have a headache and nausea right now, but I'm still feeling SO happy and grateful today! How's everyone else doing??
