I'm not sure of the sex yet guess wise as few things like going off baked beans happened with jess but never had lots of cramps and constipation so could be boy??? Will see how drinking one cup of tea in morning when 7 weeks goes as if makes me sick then prob a girl lol

All can concentrate on at mo urgh wash hard to focus on anything at work lol

Not drinking, testing smu, no clue for af because my cycles have been off since having the baby, and haven't been keeping track since preventing! Haha

The progression is reminding me a bit of my 6w loss... But after sitting a bit the bottom does look a bit darker... (Same tests different light)
Also just remembered yesterday's test was from last night- so' the last 2 were taken around 14hrs apart.

It's official- I've gone crazy again

Keep testing I tested two days apArt and one was faint other can defo bevsure was a line fingers x for u

I will seem stupid now but what is a chemical? Is it where line don't get darker then get af?... Sorry xx

 

[SCgirl]

A chemical is a pregnancy only confirmed by chemical tests (blood, urine)- before anything could show up on an ultrasound. It starts to implant, but doesn't completely or doesn't start to develop. (so usually prior to ~6w is considered a chemical pregnancy)

I've had 3 chemical pregnancies so far, followed by 1 pregnancy that gave me my DS...

And definitely not stupid! I'd never heard the term until it happened to me! Most people don't even know they're pregnant that early...

 

[Lavochain]

I will introduce myself again,

Hello, I am in my first tri due date July 6th, 2016!!!!
It's been a long road.been trying for 1 yer and 7 months with three mc and four rounds of clomid here we are!
I have had my hcg levels read and they are looking good! Soon will have our first u/s


��

Hi there, we have the same estimated due date! Happy 9 months to you

Glad the ball is rolling for you buttons.

SCgirl - I really hope that you aren't going through a chemical again and little bean sticks.

I really have the urge to take another test to confirm the pregnancy however I am terrified of getting a faint line or god forbid none at all. I'm really struggling with my anxiety today for some reason. :/

 

[jjbuttons]

Thanks hun soz to read that tho big hugs

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

Lavochain, I was struggling with the anxiety for the past few days as well. I took a PT yesterday which was a lot darker than all of the previous one so that's settled my mind a lot.

SC, FX for you that the bean is a sticky one. The tests are definitely progressing though.

Me: Busy weekend ahead. Engagement party tomorrow, last minute things to do today. Exhaustion is hitting hard today. I'm already ready for bed and it's only 3! Hope you ladies have a great weekend

 

[jalilma]

I don't feel prenant.. I do however feel overwhelmed. Everybody in my house has pms.. Seriously. I might just make some brownies, get some ice cream cuddle in bed with my dog and play candy crush all evening.

 

[Babylove100]

SCgirl - got everything crossed for you that it's not a chemical! Those tests def have progression so hopefully it's just a slow starter

 

[DandJ]

My nurse just called me and said my levels were 546 (which I'm at 19dpiui) which she is asking me to come in again in Sunday for additional blood work because I should be in the 1000s by now?

After the call, I did my math and I'm pretty accurate with doubling every two days. Monday was 156, Wednesday was 306 and today was 546..... It's not quite 600 but close. How the heck am I supposed to be in the 1000s by now? I should, hopefully be in the 1000s when I go in on Sunday.

Should I be worried?? She told me it could still be a normal pregnancy and I'm over 60% rising, they just want to monitor to make sure everything is ok. Blah... Not how I wanted to start my weekend!

 

[Carlinator]

Oh no! That's not nice of them to worry you so!

I think as long as it doubles every 2-3 days you're fine, not necessarily every 2 days.

I hope your next draw puts your mind at ease! I wish I could get in at my OB sooner but I don't want to see a different Dr so I gotta wait.

 

[Carlinator]

How come my ticker counts are off? Everyone else's seem to be in sync.

They both say 253 days to go, but one says 4 weeks 3 days, the other says 3 weeks 6 days! Huh! I think it's definitely implanted already...Actually had implantation spotting Halloween night, thought it was my cycle starting early!

 

[DandJ]

That's what I thought too! Their calculations must be off or something. I'm only getting blood drawn so much and monitors because I had an IUI with them and then if everything is normal around 7-8 week mark, I get transferred to a normal OB with normal appointments.

When are you seeing your dr?

 

[Lavochain]

DandJ - Sorry I'm of no help but I hope everything goes well for you at the weekend. At least they are keeping an eye on you, I'm sure everything is fine.

I've just taken my ClearBlue Digital test and it has confirmed that I am pregnant and 3+ weeks apparently! I thought I was 2-3 post conception so I might be further along than I thought. It is so comforting to see that word on the screen though.

That is weird! Same remaining days... Weird.

Lavochain, thank you for the kind words! Yay for a 3+ on digi!!

 

[SCgirl]

As far as predictions go, I have no idea. Last one I knew was a boy, and wanted a boy. I definitely want a girl at some point (dh has already agreed that if we are able to have more children and don't have a girl by our 3rd, we can try to adopt one), but honestly I'm good with either this time around! (We have so much boy stuff around and a boy would be so close in age to my son that they could be super close, but I'd also be thrilled to be able to buy dresses and paint nails etc)

 

[WantsALittle1]

I had a feeling it was because most women don't know when they O'd so they base it off LMP.

Thanks WantsaLittle1- but Holly is right, would be weird to see a ticker that says 2 weeks pregnant!

Haha yes what would they even show as the picture? Just an egg holding up a sign that says "Fertilize me"

 

[WantsALittle1]

K just made a super early one, this is what it shows:

Anyone having cravings yet? I keep wanting sausages ate some last night and just had a whole pack for lunch lol

Thought cravings start later (think 13 weeks with lo) :s super emotional today cried to oh few hrs ago lol

Xx

 

[Carlinator]

Cravings - Well I've been a lot hungrier than usual in general! I actually thought something was fishy with that the day before I tested, as I'd eaten a whole pot of beans and rice for lunch and went on to eat a large dinner as well. That's good though, I hadn't been eating enough for a long time. I need to work on my nutrition bigtime! I know plenty about it, I've just been lazy and kinda depressed, and also having problems with a tooth making it hard to eat. Yikes.

I see my OB December 1st, I will keep calling to see if they have a sooner appointment. It's weird to think I'll be 2/3 way through my first trimester already when I see him! He seems so nice, I met him after my last MC and he was going to do a bunch of tests on me in January if I hadn't gotten pregnant...so I suspect he will do any needed testing for baby. Wow. I'm going to be so nervous. Would there be a heartbeat at around 7 weeks?

Went to the regular Dr and confirmed pregnancy just with their pee stick lol, but they didn't take any levels by blood. I came in to get antibiotics for my tooth and try to push for my insurance to cover an extraction, but I don't know if they will or not. And I hope I don't have to wait til 2nd trimester to get it pulled :-/

I guess I am stressing today...I'm in my senior year of college and have some research papers to finish, and also...courses to design. I know that sounds weird, but I need 3 art classes to graduate (mostly online college, it's neat) and they're only offering one online...So I thought I had to only come up with an idea and find a mentor for one course, but now it looks like two! Agh! And I don't really know what I want to "study." Or what I should, as I'm kind of going the direction of Art Therapy? (That's where most of my credits lie, in art and psychology). Anyone have any ideas? Lol...I have about a month to finalize this stuff. This semester has just been so so crazy. School, the miscarriage, got sick, got married to OH October 25, then had to catch up with more school!

And now a baby, omigoodness

You should be able to see a heartbeat at 7w! With my son at 6w1d he measured 6w0d, looked like a grain of rice with a flashing pixel- which was his heartbeat! At 8w they often resemble gummy bears, but he looked more like a blob... It's ok- he ended up cute
