February 2015 Rainbows

Confuzion - I'm sorry you aren't happy with your betas :-( I think those numbers look good but I understand your dissapointment!
 
That's great news mrs. lemon!!

Thanks girls. After doing a lot of reading and research, I'm satisfied that my numbers are normal so feeling better again. I wanted to have a super fast doubling time thinking it would reassure me, but in truth, nothing will reassure me until this baby is in my arms. So back to limbo until I have a scan. Still anxious and I hope all the stress and anxiety is worth it for me come some day soon.
 
Welcome laodicean!

Hope your blood test gives you some reassurance woofie :D
 
Confuzion-I understand how you feel about your betas. I honestly think yours are just great! My numbers weren't even close to doubling. Mine were 4548, 4802, 5710 all within 2 days of eachother. I'm super worried too. I'm now on progesterone which I've never taken before. I guess I'll get some answers with my scan this Monday. Wishing you all the best.
 
Hi

Another PAL here with a February due date. Feeling really ambivalent about being pregnant - on the one hand, after my recent loss, this baby is very, very much wanted. On the other hand, after my recent loss (and all the others), I'm mostly convinced I'm going to lose it.

Plus I've found out so frickin' early - why do this to myself?! It's just more time that I have to worry!

Welcome and congrats!! I know how you feel about finding out early. I just wish I hadn't found out until I was already 8 weeks along! haha
 
evening ladies,

After a Friday the 13th of terrible luck and a few cervix pains, I caved and bought another pack of clear-blue digital`s. After still getting the pregnant 1-2 yesterday morning i was convinced another loss was coming my way..

but i just took a test with a two hour hold and I got pregnant 2-3 weeks :) so so happy its gone up.

really hope this is it!

Congrats on the 2-3 weeks!
 
I'm so crampy today, it's not painful per se, but I just keep worrying over every twinge... If all goes well, this will be our last pregnancy, so I want to enjoy it, but feel like I can't!
 
I feel the same way MrsPoodle. Not feeling crampy. Not feeling much of anything besides sore boobs and sleepiness (which I can blame on the progesterone). I try so hard but feel I can never get over my worry long enough to enjoy any moment of this pregnancy.

I'm thankful that my spotting still hasn't returned. Evertime I go to the bathroom, I think I will find blood. I've been pleasantly surprised the past few days. I'm still very nervous over everything. Wish I could fast forward time and know the outcome of this pregnancy already!

How are the rest of you ladies holding up?
 
Glad you spotting hasn't returned confuzion!

In general I am just a very nervous person, so it is hard for me to not worry about every single thing. I am trying hard to stay positive, knowing that is best for the baby. I also have the sore boobs and fatigue. Also after I eat I get a severe stomach ache, but I don't feel like I will vomit...not sure if it is MS or related to my stomach issues without my usual meds...or a sign of m/c?
 
I`m having some shooting and sharp lower back pains (on the left) is this normal..

My MC started with back pain I am so so scared :(
 
Mrs lemon - backache is a part of pregnancy. As long as you've got no uterine cramps or bleeding, you've got nothing to worry about right now :hugs:. I get backaches too and have since the BFP.

savvy - Definitely not a sign of miscarriage. Pregnancy slows down your digestion so it might be related to that.
 
MrsLemon, I have had some dull lower backaches over the past week or so.

confuzion, thanks...I am hoping my digestive system slows down...I usually have the other problem with my IBS. I guess I would rather have the bad stomachache than the vomiting! I am going to try to eat even smaller meals more frequently and see if that helps any.

If there are any gluten free friends here I was searching online for some good substitutes for saltine crackers...I can't have wheat/dairy/onion/artificial sweeteners/honey/etc...so my best option is a plain rice cake. Other ideas listed were gluten free pretzels, brown rice pasta, applesauce and yogurt. Of course I am craving a juicy cheeseburger on a soft pretzel bun, french fries and a milkshake...this might be a long 8 months if I get more cravings I can't eat! :(
 
oh thank you ladies!! isnt it just so hard the slightest twinge, takes you right back to that moment :(

maybe im having a sad day!! how is everybody enjoying their weekend?
 
:wave: May I join? I am due in February sometime, roughly around 6 weeks :thumbup:
 
Welcome Zebra and congrats!

And welcome to all the other new ladies on the thread! :) Hope you're having a nice weekend!
 
And PS - I will change my status to Pregnant once I get through my betas this week. I promise. :)
 
I feel like the 1 symptom I had of bloating has disappeared. Ugh. I just want Monday to be here already.
