February 2013 Love Bugs

Sweetpea - I think they would defy take you. Let them know your concern. That is really inappropriate of the nurse. I'm sorry. You should let your doctor know. If the office isn't considerate, may be worth finding another. In any event, I think they would definitely let you come in for blood work. GL!

Sweatpea,

I would ago ahead and have them check your levels. Just having extra reassurance will probably help bring down your stress levels and make everything easier for you. I know once I passed 5w3d I felt tons better because that is when my m/c happened. Now that I'm almost at 6w I feel like this is a done deal. Don't let them make you feel less than you are. Take advantage of the technology that we have available.

I may give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. I was going to wait til Wednesday maybe even Friday, but I really need the reassurance. I definitely feel better than I did the last time around (Last time I had a lot of cramping). But its still in the back of my mind. Thanks girls!

Anyone else get increased cm during late 4th week?

This may be TMI, but I just had a gush and panicked thinking it was blood or something. Went to the restroom and it was just a ton of cm. So weird!

Congratulations on everyone's BFP.

I'm due 13th February with my first, we've been trying for 9 months. I couldn't believe that it was a positive, it came up straight away on first response.

My symptoms have disappeared which I am a little worried about but I have read other posts on here that have reassured me.

Yep! Had the same thing happen to me. I am worrying so much right now. I've got to stop. I was doing really well and then we told the parents and now I am nervous that we shouldn't have shared so early. It also doesn't help that DH wanted to wait.

Welcome, Becky! Big congrats!! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months! Btw, my symptoms come and go so far.

Well I'm feeling pretty good right now.. I poas after drinking all day and it came up instantly and really dark so I'm thinking that's a really good sign.

Mine line was really dark a few days ago but my bbt has been dropping the past couple of days and that worries me big time. I am so scared of another loss.

I am annoyed at my mom right now she just yelled at me for having a protein shake and an apple for breakfast. Little did she know I had some string cheese crackers and peanuts like an hour later. She really needs to find a place to live and get out of my house. I know that sounds really mean but she is so much drama and has almost lived with us rent free for a year.

Well I went in for my final beta and my first US today. US went well but I still have to wait a couple more hours for my beta results. Well I had a feeling that my edd was off and it was confirmed I was right.
My last was 5/5 which would put me at 6 and 2 today but I could have sworn I felt ovulation on 5/26 which is a week later then normal. During my ultrasound today the tech verified I was right on my time of ovulation and I am 5 and 2 today and everything looks normal at this point.
So my original edd was wrong it should not be Feb 9th it should be Feb 16th.

I have that same feeling about my dates. Last af was 5/6 and Ov'd 5/25 a week late also. Lol. I am having an appt today because I Am cramping terribly so we'll see what happens. FX

Hope all goes well at your apt today!!!!!!!!! Fxd for you.
Wow it looks like our wedding dates were really close to each other and our edd's maybe the same also. Bump buddies?

I would love a bump buddy!! Not really sure how to do it though :/ I will let you know my appointment goes

I am sorry hun! I hope the drop in bbt is just crazy pregnancy hormones. I really hope all goes well. You could maybe poas and see if the line is still dark.

Do you think that if I asked, they would allow me to do bloodwork before a 6 week appt to see where my levels are at?

I didn't call my OBGYN yet, as the last time I called, I had to cancel 2 days later due to a chemical pregnancy. The nurse I dealt with made me feel like a complete idiot. So now I'm hesitant to jump the gun and make an appt.

I'm so nervous I will have another chemical, and feel like I may have piece of mind if they could check and see if my levels are where they should be up until the 6 week appt.

I am so sorry the nurse you had to deal with last time around was unpleasant to you. Don't let it discourage you. You have every right to ask them for a beta if it will help calm your nerves, it is your body and your baby. I am working with a fertility specialist and I have had 3 beta draws.
So I say go for it and make the phone call.
Good luck.

Thanks JME! Do you think my lines wouldn't be as dark if something was wrong? I only have one hpt left so I am trying to save it for the 8 week mark....thats when my test was very very faint with my first pregnancy and looking back I realize then that something was wrong.

I did pee on an opk though and that was still way darker than the control so I will take that as a good sign?

I lost my first at 7.5 weeks and it is getting to that point now and I am absolutely terrified.

Congrats to all the new s!!! Wishing you (and us all!) a very happy & healthy nine months!

I haven't had too many symptoms yet - definitely getting cramps and pulls, etc., but less now than a couple of days ago. I have been a little hungrier and have had bouts of exhaustion, and my b's are just starting to get a little sore.

I too am nervous and just can't wait for the first US and to be able to hear the heartbeat. My first US is going to be at 7w5d. Part of me wants to go in this week, but I also just think I should wait it out. I have been continuing to POAS basically every day. I think I am going to stop now, but it is so hard - I feel like I need that confirmation everyday that it is all still going well. You know?

This is my first pregnancy - who else? What number is this for you? When is everyone's first US?

Are you planning to find out what you are having? We are defy staying team yellow.

Also, did we decide on a thread name and ticker? I still like February LoveBugs 2013! What do you all think? Anyone able to make a ticker once we decide on a name?

this is my first pregnancy im 4w 3d today......my first scan is at 7 weeks on july 6th...i havent poas since last week but i plan on poas on friday at 5 weeks and at 6 weeks to pass the time!!!!!!!!!!! we do want to find out what we are having.......we would be happy with either but would like to know.

So my original edd was wrong it should not be Feb 9th it should be Feb 16th.

fixed.

good for you on team !!! we were with our baby Jacob - wonderful to meet your baby and see what he/she is in person!

whatever you guys decide on the ticker, i can add the code to the first page - probably will want to have a big one and a small one for whatever people want to use.

I lost my first at 7.5 weeks and it is getting to that point now and I am absolutely terrified.

hang in there.

Only if you hcg was dropping would it be lighter. When I mc I poas on a wed was darker poas that sat morning and was lighter then that Monday I mc. I think the positive opk would be a good sign though. I really wish there was some kind of at home check your pregnancy kit. I too have been very paranoid. I am even more paranoid that we told some family. I hope everything works out for both of us.

I think someone should make us a ticker I would make one I just don't know how I think feb lovebugs 2012 is great

 

[fides]

I think someone should make us a ticker I would make one I just don't know how I think feb lovebugs 2012 is great

edit: nevermind - i don't see how i can add a poll now after the fact... hmm, well if someone else wants something other than lovebugs, we can still chat about what name you guys would prefer.

 

[SweetPea0903]

I think the lovebugs theme is adorable! We should use ladybugs in the ticker. I think they would be perfect cuz red is s love color and they are small like the little bundle of joys we are expecting

 

[fides]

awww!
