Hi ladies, I've had random waves of nausea as well but only lasting a few minutes. I was sick with a cold when I got my bfp and I have been EXHAUSTED since day 1. I can't stay awake past 8:30. Last night I fell asleep on the couch sitting up at 9:10. I was never like this with my first. I too am so tired I can't make it to dinner....too much work and I am too tired! Lol. Good also just makes me more sleepy!
Welcome to the newbies!

I'm really sick too, as in I have a terrible cold and a rattling cough that just will not budge! Is it common to get this at the beginning of pregnancy or is it just our bad luck? So much to learn

Welcome to the newbies!

I just told my SO last night it MUST be twins because I don't remember being so utterly drained with my 3 other pregnancies...

I was pretty lucky with my daughter and didn't really have any nausea...but I didn't either with my other pregnancies. But nothing by way of that so far. Maybe I will be lucky again?

Definitely sore breasts though, that always tips me off that the tests aren't lying!

Welcome, Lavochain!

I am definitely exhausted, too. I'm so tired by the time i get home from work I feel like I could take a nap and sleep until morning Ive been having a lot of muscle aches, too. My legs and arms. Its weird! No nausea yet

Top is Tuesday PM, middle is Wednesday PM, bottom is FMU today. So slow progression- I'm trying to decide if it's worth calling the doctor since I'm on meds that aren't safe in pregnancy and can't be stopped cold turkey, and b/c I was on progesterone last time... With them staying faint, it still reminds me of my chemicals...

 

[Hollynesss]

It wouldn't hurt to call your doctor

 

[tgrich]

Scgirl how many dpo are those?

 

[SCgirl]

I have no clue when my last period was since I have a 10mo and we weren't trying- but it's been less than 2 weeks since we had a "whoops" night- so my guess is 10/11/12dpo

 

[Jodie.82]

Hi ladies
Can I join please? Just got a BFP on a digital putting conception 1-2 weeks ago, calculating by my last period and cycle dates makes my due date 08/07/16
I'm still very much in shock as this was unexpected!!
Have a daughter who is 4 and my first would now be 15
And I'm 33
And actually back in London now so need to update my details on here!!

 

[Jodie.82]

Ps have been getting slight cramps which were worrying me but am reading that it sounds pretty normal? I don't rmember getting them in previous pregnancies

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Jodie, I have been cramping on and off, and did with my first pregnancy too. Definitely normal from what I've heard and read!

 

[jalilma]

Ladies... I just need to throw a small pity party... I. Feel. Like. Shit. Today. This little bean is making its presence known today with crazy nausea, extreme fatigue and some dizziness. I'm not complaining but it's only 1030 and I still have 7 hours of work.. I'm having a hard time coping at the moment.

Welcome, Jodie!

Jalilma:

A few of my coworkers who I've told have been telling me stories about how often pregnant women wet their pants Apparently we have to be very careful when sneezing, coughing, laughing and throwing up Two of them even said they wet the bed once or twice while pregnant. Moms who have done this before, is it really that bad?! Should I go stock up on Poise and Depends?

 

[tgrich]

Scgirl I tested positive 9dpo and kept testing each day mine were very little change like yours but then I thought about it and if in 48 hours my number doubled from 20 to 40 that's not much of a change but still on track I wouldn't be to worried I waited a few days and tested again and you could definitely see a difference . I love having my babies close in age it's tough but amazing!

Haha I'd heard the same thing! Thankfully, I never had that issue- while pregnant. Now AFTER having the baby, I had a bit of a rough time with it... I think it took close to 4 months before I stopped wearing liners!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Got my beta results at 10dp5dt (15dpo) my level is 204.1

 

[SCgirl]

Cowgirl07 that's higher than mine have ever been at 15dpo

 

[SCgirl]

I did end up calling the OB. Apparently they're ok with me taking a Class D drug during pregnancy. So I called my internist and made an appt for early next week to come off of it. Also asked about progesterone- they aren't worried about it right now- if I have a few losses again they'll look into it...

I had read later it could be an early pregnancy sign. It makes sense since when u r pregnant ur immune system stinks. Also, the increased estrogen can cause nasal stuffiness.

I just told my SO last night it MUST be twins because I don't remember being so utterly drained with my 3 other pregnancies...

Omg...I might die! Lol..I am afraid of how I would keep up with 2, let alone 3. Someone mentioned it to me joking cuz my tests were so dark....I still hv almost a month before I would know anything!

I was cramping slightly on and off from before my bfp up until now. It comes and goes but nothing super painful. Baby is just getting comfy hopefully so try not to worry!

Hysterical!! with my first, I didn't have issues while pregnant but after...it was terrible.

Jalilma - nausea is starting to hit me too, n it's a bit early which is scary. Do u hv some crackers u can snack on every two hours? I also heard the motion sickness bands can help. GL!
