Hey ladies I can't stop peeing on sticks and I keep flapping bout line darkness, it's nearly as dark as the control line but not quite? I would've thought it would be as dark if not darker than the control line? DH says I need to stop looking for signs of impending miscarriage I just wish he would realise how scared and worried I am. I had a dream last night that I woke up bleeding and clotting.

I kinda wish I'd had the beta done instead of chickening out cos I was scared of the results, I can't go now til next week cos the children are on half term, I'm seeing the dr next Wednesday so I'm going to request them then, it feels so long away.

And to top it all off I've got a sore throat which is making me feel cack.

Gosh I'm a barrel of laughs today Happy Halloween!!!!

I know how you are feeling... Today I have had some very distinct sharp pains in my groin, abdo, hips and lower back. But.... it could be because I have got a snotty cold and I'm all achy and everytime I blow my nose even that area hurts ... I hope I'm not miscarrying again I took another drug store test today just to be sure and the test line is stronger than the control line... I'm just so nervous all the time... no bleeding just cramps

Ask your dr if you can have beta tests twice weekly for the first 12 weeks, I am and I tell you it is very reassuring otherwise I would be peeing on sticks all the time too I had another one today but I don't think I will be reassured until the next one since I'm having pains today... Has anyone else had these pains this early on?

I enjoy reading everyone's symptoms. As this is my first pregnancy everything freaks me out a bit. I have been really crampy, lots of lower back pain and hip pain and my bbs are sore off and on.

So today I am 18 dpo. I decided to use up both my last two tests. My CB digi finally went over to 2-3 which relieved a lot of my anxiety. And my pink dye is also a lot darker than my one at 14 dpo.

Thank goodness I read your post! I am pretty much the same!!! I even have groin pain LOL!!! I am 19DPO so that's good to know

Hello ladies. I'm new to this forum. I'm 37, DH is 42. I am a mom of 2, although this will be DH's first. We were TTC for 7 months and then stopped. 2 months later, here we are, pregnant. My cycles were like clockwork and my LP was usually 13-14 days, never 15. So, when I hit 15DPO and no AF, I took an HPT and got a BFP! Called my Dr right away and he sent me in for a beta hcg. It was 541. Yesterday, I went back for my second beta and it was 1524. My Dr wants to send me for an u/s next week just to make sure everything is going well. I had a miscarriage 4 months ago, so we're being cautious.

This is the first time I've found out I'm pregnant so early on. I have very little symptoms. My boobs are very tender and sore, that's about it. I'm tired more during the day, but at night I can't sleep. My appetite is great, but once I have the food in front of me, I don't want to eat it. I've been forcing myself to eat for 3 days now. With my 2 other pregnancies, I suffered with severe hyperemesis and it was awful. I'm only 4 weeks 2 days and with the other 2, the sickness didn't start until week 8 and didn't end until week 36. So, I don't know what to expect just yet, but I'm hoping for the best.

DH is having a hard time right now. He's freaking out actually. After our miscarriage, he turned 42 and said that he didn't think he wanted to father a child after all, that he was getting too old. He said being a stepfather to my 2 children was just perfect for him. So, we stopped trying to TTC but I was still temping and we thought we were in our "safe" days when we BD. He's not coping well with this at all. He's mostly worried about our finances because the company he has been with for over 10 years is being bought out and he is unsure if they will keep his position. Honestly, it's draining all of my energy reassuring him that everything is going to be just fine. I've only told my 3 closest friends and my 7yr old. She has been my biggest cheerleader and supporter.

Anyhow, I think I've rambled on long enough. My due date is 07/08/14, (DH is a mathematician, so I'm hoping for 07/07/14 birthdate. Also hoping he comes out of his funk soon.)

Keeping my fingers crossed that we all have a happy and healthy 9 months.

Good luck Charlie we will all be hoping for good results

I have told about a dozen people that NEED to know - mum, uncle, school teacher, and a few playcentre friends and 2 close friends...
Last time I was on this forum I m/c and did NOT expect it after two healthy pregnancies as none of us do expect it. I also suffer from HYPEREMESIS through pregnancies from bout 6-7 weeks when I start spending many days in hospital on drips and potassium. So I can't believe my biggest concern is m/c the girls at playcentre and school cover for me with my two sons and one awesome friend is coming in once a week if I ne to go to hospital to clean my house - of course paid.
A friend of mine is 22 weeks along and just gone to hospital today because she is bleeding so hoping she is alright, I can't tell my b st friend I'm preggerz because they have been trying for 5 years for another child and it hasn't happened. We haven't told my husbands parents because they are so unsensitive, they always say my sickness is all in my head and whn I m/c they said don't cry about it, it was only early and there wasn't a baby in there it was a fetus I mean how unsensitive!

Has anyone else got a cold or constipated feeling?

Hi everyone and congratulations on your BFPs! Hi Jakes, nice to see another April SweetPea!!

We've been TTC no 2 for about a year and a half. This cycle was our 4th round with fertility meds and we gave iui a try this month as well. 9 days after ovulation I got a super heavy period that was dark red with clots. I figured definitely not pregnant and didn't test. Stopped taking my folic acid and prenatals and decided to take a break from TTC. Fast forward to 24 hrs ago. I should be around day 14 of my current cycle. I started spotting and was very confused since it's the middle of my cycle. For some reason I decided to do a hpt. Imagine my complete shock when 2 dark lines appeared almost instantly. I must be the only person who sees blood and decides that now is a good time to do a test.

I called my fertility specialist first thing this morning and they had me come in for a blood test. After waiting all day the nurse called and said congratulations you're pregnant. I was in such shock that i can't even remember the hcg level she told me. It was somewhere in the mid to high 600s. I told her I thought that was low and she agreed but said everything could still be fine. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound on Tuesday and it can't get here soon enough!

I think I'm 5 weeks and 2 days using the date of iui since that's the last time any sperm came near me!

Sorry for such the long ramble!! I'm excited to have a group of ladies to talk to who are all around the same due date. So much easier going through this together.

I'm from Michigan and so far have only told DH and my best friend.

Can't wait to hear more updates from everyone!

Gypsy mama, how funny we wrote our posts at the same time about hyperemesis lol.

Hope it stays away for us both this time. that was the reason I knew I m/c last time - my hcg level was still rising but by 9 weeks I wasn't in hospital - sure enough a mmc. Luckily mine seems to go away at about 16 weeks I couldn't imagine being like that for 36 weeks. I'm here if you ever need to talk about it. I know at times it makes you want to give up when you get that weak

Hahaha. It's so funny, in a weird, twisted way that I've been thinking okay, if I'm not sick and in the hospital in about 3 weeks, I'll know something is wrong. I don't think it's likely to have hyperemesis with 2 pregnancies and not with the 3rd or any subsequent ones, so that's my cue. But I'm staying positive and have a backup plan like you do, if it does indeed rear its ugly head. But if by some miracle it doesn't and everything is great with baby, I would be happiest woman on earth.

It's a tough thing to go through because unless you go through it, it's truly hard to understand. Oh, how I wish it was just morning sickness like everyone would tell me. It will go away soon, they'd say and instead it got worse. I was hospitalized at least twice a month through my last few weeks. It made my pregnancies horrific and made me think twice about having any more.

So, although I'm dreading it, I'm also looking forward to it, because I'll know once it comes, that I'm having what is considered a "normal" pregnancy for me.

 

[mumaoftwoboys]

I know - I went into a herbal shop the other day with some miracle the would have something new fr me to try... she said 'have you tried ginger?' I accidentally laughed out loud and sid are you serious? She looked at me and said well it works for some people... I said 'yeah ones not with hyperemesis!' then proceeded to ask her if sh knew what it was... she said something to do with your liver? I said - Kate Middleton had it.... oh the penny drops LOL!

 

[mumaoftwoboys]

I just got my HCG levels back again... I am so HAPPY!!! 12 DPO they were 21, 16DPO they were 190 and now at 19 DPO they are 810!!!
They are doubling every 1.5 days

Bellybands on sale. Saw this the other day. FYI

Seriously. I might cry, I had no idea this existed. I'm 4 weeks and I'm so bloated! All day today I've been out on the town with unbuttoned pants. I was going to go to a maternity store tomorrow to buy different pants and now I don't have to. THANK YOU.

So many of you ladies are tired. I WISH I was tired. I am unable to fall asleep and stay asleep until 5am some days. I feel like I'll be able to sleep at night, but once I get there, I just lay there for hours. Bleh. However, I'm not exhausted either. I feel pretty awake almost all of the time. My mom says that I should appreciate the energy while I have it. =p

 

[mumaoftwoboys]

Groan - I think I'm going to have to go back to the dr tomorrow - why is tiwhen ever you leave the drs your symptoms get worse? Coughing with a very sore chest when I cough right now I even coughed before and slightly peed my pants

 

[charlie00134]

For those worried about pain I've done lots of googling which says it's normal. The only reason I'm getting a scan is its severe and I had IVF which canvmuck stuff up. I will report back when I have the results.
