Chart help!?!

[Goldenpup]

I stopped testing. Can't believe it's not due to fri. How long is your LP? I'm 5+4 so when I made it to 5 I had got through af week.

 

[Tridda]

16 day LP. Got my first bfp at 12dpo. I can't wait to get past my AF day. Last night I had a dream that I started bleeding. Wasn't sure if it was real or not when I woke up this morning, all confused
What's your edd?

 

[Goldenpup]

I had a dream like that too, thankfully it didn't come true.
My EDD works out at 25th July. I haven't put up a ticker yet. Still nervous about it all.

 

[Tridda]

Yeah I made one at the attempt of thinking positive about this one. I'm scared to be excited and let down but I also don't want to take away the fun and exciting part of it. Hoping to get to the 6 week mark so I can relax a bit, I had my mc at 5+5 last time... So just waiting to pass that at least!

 

[Goldenpup]

My target is 8+2. I'm really hoping it was all to do with my b12 and now that it's been sorted I'll get to take this baby home. Did you have any signs before your 5+5? I had spotting which increased from 6+4. Well my first target is getting through week 6 with no spotting

 

[Goldenpup]

I think it's only with journals the title can be changes

 

[Tridda]

I had no sign of anything wrong when my mc happened. We BD'd and right after I had a little brown blood, and about an hour later I had the MC. Just extreme cramps right before/during. yeah I figured I will call on Monday and make an 8 week appointment, I figure if I make it that far and they can find a heartbeat at that time, I will have less to worry about. My OH thinks I'm crazy to worry as much as I am, but I can't help it!

 

[Goldenpup]

I was meant to book an app this week for a fortnights time but I'm going to book it on Monday instead. My clinic operates a 2 week wait system unless emergency so that'll take me to 8 weeks then. Hopefully get a reassurance scan before Xmas. If everything is ok then, we will tell DH's parents

 

[Tridda]

Yeah, I'm gonna try to make an appointment for the week of Xmas. Don't really want to go in before then. Maybe one set of blood work and then an appt for that week to confirm my levels are increasing normally.

 

[Tridda]

So last night my OH's friend stopped by to drop some baby clothes off for his brothers baby (his GF is due in a week). I went thru and picked some clothes out that looked unisex that I thought were cute because they already have a ton of stuff so they don't care. So now I have this pile of baby stuff staring at me at my house, lol. It probably wasn't the best idea cuz it made us all excited! My OH is starting to get antsy about wanting to tell people... We agreed on New Years if I make it that far and they can find a heartbeat.

How is everything going with you?

 

[Goldenpup]

Oh that's really cute! At least you've started collecting stuff. I think I'm a while off that. My DH keeps wanting to tell me his plans for the nursery. I'm like "wait!" Lol
How many weeks will you be on New Year's Eve? That'll be a perfect start to the year telling everyone. We are telling dh's parents anytime from 7 weeks on, haven't decided on an exact day yet. Still worried about how "secret" it will be when his mum knows.
I'm doing good. Had a nap this afternoon. Going Xmas shopping with a friend tomorrow who wants to stop for lunch and wine. I've already told her I'd drive and collect her but she keeps insisting that her DH will get me. Don't want to make it too obvious. Don't know what to do.

 

[Tridda]

Haha it wasn't our plan to start collecting, but the opportunity was there so might as well.
New Years eve I'll be at 9 weeks. I have my first appt on 12/29. My first ultrascan they are doing on 1/12 @ 10 weeks. Just made the apps today.

Haha, that's funny about your friend. I've just been telling people I'm stopping drinking to be a little healthier because I've been drinking too much lately... That usually gets me off my back

 

[Goldenpup]

Ohh exciting dates to look forward to. I still haven't booked anything. Will get something sorted on Monday hopefully as I'm off work.
Yea I might try that one. Doubt she'll believe me lol

 

[Tridda]

Yeah... Now its just getting to those dates!

Hah, ive been really off and on about drinking so people are used to me saying I dont wanna drink. I also dont hang out with friends much anymore, I feel like an old lady sometimes. Mostly just go to work and spend time with OH.

 

[Goldenpup]

You will get to those dates! I know it. We both are getting are rainbow this time.

I'm 6 weeks today. One app says it's the size of a blueberry, the other app says it's a lentil.... Just put on my jeans to go shopping and they are tighter than before. I've been wearing bigger trousers or leggings all week so I really notice my jeans. Just bloated.

A few times before we got our bfp I've been with friends and drank very little so hopefully she won't question me because she'll be able to tell! Next thing to get over is Christmas staff party and Christmas itself!

 

[Tridda]

6 weeks is a big hurdle to cross now to 8 weeks! If she questions you, just make a joke of it and try to blow it off- all you can do. Lol. Xmas will be interesring though, maybe fake drinking? Haha... I also have a dinner at work I have to go to, which will make it pretty obvious I feel.

I have also been bloated, but I think most of it comes from these dang prenatals, they make me constipated! (Tmi lol)

I am 4+3 today, still with backpain and cramping. Sometimes I get the cramps so bad I think I'll start bleeding, but nothing yet.

 

[Goldenpup]

Someone told me their friend was trying to hide that she wasn't drinking on her 30th birthday and had a wine bottle filled with a soft drink that looked the same. That's what I may do on the staff night.
I know, 6 weeks, now to just get through it without spotting!!!
Hopefully the cramps are not af related. You can relax more when you get to 5.

 

[Tridda]

Haha yeah that's a good idea. Just gotta fake your way thru it

As for the cramps, I've had them since around implantation. So I'm getting used to them, but pain like that just worries me because it's similar to mc pains. Although a lot of women say they are having it around this time so who knows.

 

[Goldenpup]

I think I had pains that week too. Just your body getting used to your LO in there. My shopping trip has completely wiped me out, I was breathless anytime I had to do stairs today. In my pjs now, fire on and crappy shows on tv. Perfect night in.

 

[Tridda]

Haha. Sounds good to me! Comfy!

I've been cleaning most of the day, and later on the OH's brother and gf are coming over to watch a football game. Hopefully her water doesnt break on my couch (her due date is dec 4).
