Tests from 16 and 18 DPO, maybe wishful thinking, but does the fact that it's thicker than the control make a difference?

My test from today, 10dpo. It's my last test so no more testing for me might play around with my OPKs and see how those turn out! Lol. I'm feeling very irritable today and OH got the brunt of it I can't tell if my fatigue is from pregnancy or just being a mom of 3 that never sleep through the night!

Yeah I got a darker line with the cheapie with the first BFP than my ANSWER tests. But as I kept testing, the ANSWER progressed a lot faster than the cheapie (no where near dark as the control yet).

So I think some tests are better for picking it up early while others are better for progression. My ANSWERs have progressed really well until now. Oh well. I will try not to worry unless they get lighter. I will wait a few more days before trying another one.

I was 9+3 when I had my first ultrasound with my youngest. It was my first visit with my OB and the nurse did the usual pregnancy test with my urine at the beginning of the appointment. It was extremely light. She asked how far along I was and when I said 9 weeks she said I was either earlier than that or had a miscarriage. She even ordered a hcg and ultrasound before I left! Sure enough he was in there beating away at 9 weeks. I felt like she was out of line to try and assume a miscarriage based on the test!

Ladies, have any of you experienced severe lower backaches at 4 weeks? I've been very uncomfortable all day between the lower back ache and some mild cramping. I typically get lower back aches with AF, so it makes me a little nervous. Thoughts?

I had really bad, shooting lower back pains yesterday. Not as bad today. But today I've had a couple of twinges and pulling in my right uterus area. Nothing seriously painful, but I'm not going to lie...they hurt! Lol. I have a rice bag that i put in the microwave for a couple mins and then put it on my back. It works wonders! Good luck!

 

[babyfeva]

So sorry slowloris. Hope that you can join again.

Has anyone else been experiencing diarrhea? I've had it for the last 2 days and I'm hoping it doesn't stick around much longer! Lol. I read that it can be due to hormonal changes in early pregnancy. But it also might just be something i ate. Who knows?? Lol

My son vomitted all night on Sunday then DH was sick with diarrhea Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, then I got sick with it on Thursday. Still feeling a little weak but no more diarrhea. My son had diarrhea today I think it might be a virus going around. Although with my last 2 pregnancies I did have 1 day of it. It's hard to say. Just stay hydrated.

Im 1 day late for my af now.

Ny internet dips were still faint and abit rubbish so i got a first response yesterday.

my bfp line came up in 3 seconds before the control line had barely got there. Super quick.

got a bit of white lotiony cm last night. Went for a walk in the countryside and i feel sretchy achy when got back to the car but it went straight back off. Feel so scared of over doing it. Its such early days for me. Goes to show how quick your body changes

Thanks! I've been drinking tons of water

Slowloris I'm so sorry

Laura, congratulations!

Gdef I have been having that too and I am.definitely not sick. Everything I eat seems to go right through me, it's really unpleasant and I can't wait for it to pass.

I've had it since the first day post ovulation and it hasn't gone away. Granted I already suffer from lower back ache on any given day. But I've had af type cramps for a few days now. I've had them with all my pregnancies and they still make me nervous

 

[Happy happy]

confuzion - that's good! I am glad they're being so proactive. the timing of this pregnancy was wonderful (though really, I would have been okay getting pregnant last August when we started, too ) because my doctor was beginning to question if I was ovulating. Despite having charts and OPKs saying I did, she was preparing to put me on clomid after my annual visit -- which should have been in June. so I'm very grateful because I didn't know if I wanted to go on Clomid or anything when I was 99% sure I was ovulating. this morning I woke up with such a sense of peace, for which I'm grateful. whatever happens, it is out of my control now. I just need to take care of myself and my little bean. hopefully my blood tests show more insight that will be reassuring. it's hard, and especially after multiple losses. loss is never easy, but my insecurities about myself grew with the second. I am glad things are looking good for you so far and will pray they continue!

bridgetboo62 - the hospital online tour looks great! I'm glad you found a facility that makes you happy -- that's half the battle! I am in love with the birth center so far, but I have never actually seen it, I only know from friends. so I am eager to check it out next week. I know it's easier said than done, but don't stress yet! like you said, you have a lot of time to script out your plan and find someone willing to accommodate you. it will fall into place. you've obviously done your research, which is awesome! I definitely was less educated for my first delivery than I am now! also, my birthing center is across from the hospital and it is covered under my insurance. it is run by midwives and has birthing tubs and such -- but obviously in case of dire need, the hospital is there and they'll remain with you if they transfer you.

https://www.birthcenters.org/birth-center-locator I would check out this site, then check and see which ones will work with your insurance. ours takes almost anything, just to varying levels. I did a quick check over the OR area and looks like there are a handful of them near you. so maybe one of those would be an option?

babyfeva - will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! I hope they are able to tell you more soon! I think those fears are completely natural, but definitely doesn't help to ward them away!

Oh goodness Wnt2beAMom that's so scary! I am glad you're okay! I hope she keeps her mouth shut for your sake. Good plan on calling out and seeing the doctor. You deserve a little break after such a moment!

Welcome Gdef and congratulations! Welcome to our talkative family!

I hope you hear from the midwife soon Happy happy and that they're able to get your tests scheduled shortly! My first round of bloods is today. I'm just ready to get it over with already! You'd think I'd be used to bloodwork by now, but nooooo. Also do you have a journal or anything written up about your hypno-delivery? I would love to read about it! That's something I was considering very late-in-the-game with A, but then she came a month early before I had made any decisions! So I want to research more on it for this go-around!

slowloris I understand completely what you mean! no point in stressing yourself out when all we can do is wait. I'm trying to be patient. much easier said than done!

Mastitis is evil. That's ALL I can say on that topic. I got it once with my LO and that was horrible!

Welcome Laura109! Congratulations!

Also welcome xxshellsxx! My goodness mama Cloud 9 indeed! I pray all goes well and smoothly for you in the next 9 months! (well I guess it's technically 8 now but still as the saying goes... )

And finally, welcome kell! Baby #6 -- yay! Are you finding out what you're having??

Sheesh that took forever to catch up! But glad to see such an active, supportive group here for the February babies!

I'm going to grab breakfast before the little wakes up, then get ready for my bloodwork. I'm terrified I will pass out... and no one is available to go with me for it! So, here's to hoping!

Good morning . I don't have anything written up buy I'm happy to answer any questions or anything you may want to know. I'll have a look online today and see what websites are most accurate..according to how my experience was as it was great and I would highly recommend it!! Xoxo

Ahhh..I've not had diarrhea as such but certainly been much looser .. It can be down to the hormones as you've said and pre natals can also cause it too..Some women have diarrhea instead of ms ... lovely!! Haha xoxo
