July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[Canda]

Canda - You are not alone! I caved and have peed on 2 more FRER......I bought some as an emergency backup on top of the 2 I had left for Daisy, they were literally calling to me........ lines as dark as the control and I have definitely definitely decided to stop now!

LUckily I haven't caved and bought more tests, mainly because of money but the urge is still there. I have my scan on Tuesday which will be 7 weeks so hopefully that will help.
What I don't understand is how some people just don't know they're pregnant, I've been feeling sick every day and had stretching pains before I took the test at 4 weeks.


I was wondering if anyone here lives in London.

 

[Sarah+]

Good morning everyone

Got back from holidays yesterday. Sorry to hear that some people have had scares. Good luck with the scans and upcoming appointments. I'm sure all will be just fine but I know it's hard not to worry

I see the two Sarahs are due on the same day Yea!

I am also still a POAS addict too..... thought this would go away after my BFP but I still test every few days, and they are getting much darker, which makes me feel better as I have NO SYMPTOMS! May be a tad tired, but otherwise no different at all - and I'm looking hard! Weird, especially as so many people seem to be having so many. My numbers are good, so no reason to worry I guess...

Loved the comments about 12WW. So true. I thought this was meant to be the fun time!

I see the Obstetrician (1st appointment) on Tuesday, when I'll be 6+2. I really hope he'll do a scan! I'll going to make sure I mention all the spotting and pain I had very early on, and he might be inclined to do one, fingers crossed.

Have a great day

Merechick: yes mine is calculated from 2 weeks before conception. It's not actually last period date as I had a long cycle. The docs are going by my last period and reckon I am 7 weeks, but I know I didn't OV till CD20 or 21.

KKSarah: glad to hear the scan looked good. Sending to you and your beanie.

Canda: I'm near London: just into Essex. Good luck with your 7 week scan Tuesday. I have my 7 week one next Wednesday. Getting nervous!! I also had symptoms soooooo strongly before I even took the test. Mine weirdly all vanished or got much less since I tested postive though.

Sarah: glad you're back. Let's hope they'll scan you too.

I woke feeling a bit icky with sore bbs in the night, but then again today I feel totally normal. Scary day for me today and my last LO died at 6+1 and that's today. I won't feel completely reassured until I've seen a heartbeat next Wednesday. If that's all OK, then I may start to relax a bit!

The thirst, the thirst!!!!!!

Anyone would think I havent drank for days!!!!!!!! Its horrible, because I know all the fluid is going into my cheeks, but I cant stop drinking!! Hamster face here we come!!

KKSarah - what a few days you've had! If you read my posts from Friday, you'll see I've been having similar problems - I wont write it again, because everyone has heard it a thousand times already! Glad all seems to be going well though, feel free to PM me if you wanna chat x sending you some because its just so pretty x

Niki- Thinking of you today. Try not too worry, and relish in the fact you are fairly symptom free - it wont last long!!! Your scan next week will put your mind at ease, roll next week x x

Sarah+ pleased you're back - now you can get back to obsessing with us all! Did you have a good time? I'd love a holiday right now This is such a stressful time - I sometimes wish I was still TTC - I think you feel a little more in control..

Gem - how are you feeling today? Still thirsty like never before?

I have updated most of our appointments on the first page, if I have missed you, Im sorry, I couldnt find everyones?! Honey - when is your early scan??

Could you send me them if you'd like them on there - ta very much xx

Well today I have decided to sit on my bum all day. OH seems to think I suffer less with my pain at night time if I have done less in the day - and I am not complaining!!

Hope everyone is feeling sick with sore BB's - the more symtoms the better eh?

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[honey08]

ive not any syptoms today really really worried about this uknow,if i phoned a doc they wudnt see me anyways, then if i had a chance to see a MW it wudnt be 2day anyways will just after sit it thro ! even my boobs arent as sore,did feel a little quezzy this morning but its totally gone!

 

[NikiJJones]

Honey, I'm completely the same. I felt a tiny bit queasy for a while, but think I imagined it. I find it really hard to deal with no symptoms, especially as that was a bad sign last time. I'm sure our beanies are doing fine though. They are just being kind to us.

 

[shelleylu]

Hey Niki - I have also got the odd feeling in my tummy! It felt like pulling when I conceived, right behind my belly button, like a tickle, but weird. Well I had it again last night. Feels like someone tickling me from the inside - but it makes me feel a bit icky lol.

I keep having little flutters too, like muscles spasms. Hopefully its LO saying 'I'm alright, stop bloody stressing!!'

xx

 

[geogem]

Hi there girls!!

Shelley - yes definately still got the thirst!! cant drink enough its bizarre!!!

apart from that no symptoms again!! so cant really complain too much - not ill or tired or anything anymore! - lets hope that is it!! I must admit I never got any sickness with my ds so would like it to go the same way for me!!

but no such luck I'm sure!!

hope all the early scans go well girls - we want to keep it all good news in this thread!!

 

[NikiJJones]

I don't think it matters how many times we are told to stop stressing, we ladies who had had a loss in the past just are not going to be able to relax for a long while yet. My doctor reassured me that you cannot cause a MC by stress, which is good to know.
I'm cramping today, and no-matter how many threads I read that tell me it is normal, I still worry.
I'm also having the flutters/ spasms, and yes: the weird tummy feeling does feel like pulling. It's less of a worry than the cramps. Somehow it feels natural.

Gem: how are you feeling today? Is the nausea back, or has it left you be for another day?

 

[NikiJJones]

I was posting at the same time as you Gem! Hence why my question has come in after your post. Yes: perhaps we're the lucky ladies who are going to sail through without much ickiness at all!

 

[maybethistime]

Hey all,

Not wrote for a while so thought id leave my mark,

Been feeling a bit down for a while and un motivated which aint good cos i have an assiment due in a few weeks,

been getting shooting pains all over, and feeling quezzy then sweet fa, boobies kinda tender in morning and night time, not peeing as much but think thats cos i cut down me liquid intake at night,

shelly i get those tickly feelings all over me tummy first time I got em I did laugh n me fella just looked at me as if i was weird.

Niki when u feel icky in morning do u eat straight away? or soon after cos i do then the icky feeling goes away till I get hungry.

Honey8, my sicky symtoms only kicked in towards end of week 6 then they left then came back, its doing my head in cos I thought they were supposed 2 get stronger, but my buddy on here is same stage as me and she has not been sick yet,

 

[geogem]

I hope so!!! I must admit I feel fine!!

Bit of the funny feeling in my tummy too but apart from that and the thirst thats it now.

Never know whats gonna happen tomorrow tho do you!! Heres hoping it stays the same!!

 

[NikiJJones]

Maybeth: I eat pretty much as soon as I get up, yes. Also I have porridge for breakfast and that seems to stave it off. It is supposed to be really good for keeping your sugar level constant all morning, so that is possibly why I'm getting off lightly.
I know what you mean about the symptoms doing your head in!! Logically if the hCG is causing them, and rising all the time, they ought to carry on getting worse, no go away! But there I was sick as anything in week 3, and now way better. Trust hormones to not be straightforward!!!!!

Gem: I'm finding I get thirsty, so am making sure I drink tonnes! Zita West's book reckons we ought to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I was on 6 a day when TTC, so have just upped the stakes now to 8. Not peeing that much though, so beanie is obviously doing something with all the liquid! Yeah: probably starting a one-baby bottled water factory in there!

 

[Sarah+]

Thinking of you today Niki I'm sure you'll feel like a weight has been lifted tomorrow and again after your appointment.

I think I finally have some symptoms Yea Really thirsty, the odd 'off' feeling in the tummy and darkening areolas. A little tired too but I feel much better after I exercise (walking/jogging) Oh, and I've started waking at 5am needing to go to the bathroom like my bladder has shrunk.

Has anyone named their bean yet? We're referring to ours as +1 (as in me/us 'plus one').

 

[geogem]

nikki - We have a water cooler at work and I have been having at least 20 cups of water there a day - which are probably about half the size of a normal glass so think i'm definately getting enough!! but same as you still not peeing alot!!

Oh and we've called it peanut!!

dont know why just came to kind the other day!!

 

[geogem]

Oh and my midwife appointment is 5th december shelley.
thx

 

[maybethistime]

Well I just cant wait to get my scan done, but to be faire I dont really want to go, told me fella I keep having thoughts in my head that somehting has gone wrong, but then something else says everything is going to be fine.

Then Im arguing with my self (yeah I have finally lost it) I didnt wanna get excited about the pregnancy, i have not read any books or watched the dvd the midwife gave me its really getting me down.

but hey roll on 3 weeks. xx

Ours is called Smudge

 

[TigerLady]

Hi, everyone! :wave:

NikkiJ clued me into to this thread...

This is my first pg post, so am totally nervous! I got my very very very first this morning! I had been trying for 6 months! It is 18dpo today, and def no AF, so I am pretty sure about it. But I'm so nervous cuz it is soooo early and the line is a bit faint. I took a hpt at 13dpo and got a and was gutted.

Anyway, today I obviously feel much much better!

I won't go to the doc for at least a week or so, but FF puts my EDD at 27 July!

Wow. This SOOOO doesn't feel real yet.

all around!!!

 

[Elliebank]

Hi everyone, would love to join this thread please!!! Doctor has given me EDD of 27.7.09, but I think it's 30.7.09 as I O'd late. Still can't quite believe that I'm pregnant, took me 14 months!!!

Looking forward to getting to know you all & sharing symptoms - my main ones are being bloated, hunger, sore nipples & twinges in abdomen & boobs.

Congrats to everyone!!

 

[Lanyloo]

Hi everyone,

Not posted for ages, been away for the weekend then had a scare but after early scan yesterday we saw a healthy bean with heartbeat.

My EDD is now 10th July, can we change it on front page please?? My next scan is 3rd Dec. I'd post a piccie of my 6 week scan but dont know how!

Hope everyone else is doing fine. I've been really sick today and yesterday after having 2 weeks of mild nausea, thought I'd escaped the bad sickness although I've not been sick yet. Today my boobs are starting to hurt really bad which serve me right for moaning because they werent really sore!!

Anyway, hope everyone else is doing ok. Must catch up on the thread!
