June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[DobbyForever]

Should be ok. I got mild cramping when I twist or turn certain ways. My last pregnancy, I had cramps after moving a heavy ish object alone. I was in so much pain I was on the floor for 15 minutes. Went to the doctor and my bean was just chilling. Doctor said they are more resilient than we think they are, and your body is in super protection mode. It will get you to stop doing things it does not like in ways you will mother like haha

Always wanted a GSD the size is too much though so I have a sheltie and an aussie

Has anyone noticed that the new FRERs dont progress like the old ones do?? I'm getting so nervous!

Here are my tests from this morning

First test is from Thursday, middle is yesterdays, and bottom is this morning. There isn't much different and I'm worrying

The rapid result test definately show a darker line though

 

[DobbyForever]

It's pretty similar to me. But I took way more tests more often this time around with the new frers than I did with the old ones. So hard to compare. My 11-16 dpo looked like it wasn't getting much darker, but once I took every other day out the progression was really clear.

I def see yours progressing though! Love the lines!

 

[ashleyg]

Even if I take out the middle and just look at the top and botto, it doesn't look that much darker I don't know why the rapid result shows a much darker line

 

[AngelofTroy]

I haven't used any frer but I don't think the new ones sound great so I wouldn't pay much attention to them. I've used cheap internet ones and I see a clear progression (still testing daily!)

 

[karlilay]

Should I be doing more tests? I only did two on Tuesday, as I was two days late?

 

[ashleyg]

AngelofTroy- yeah my cheap clinical guard ones show progression but those take a day or two in between to really show a difference lol. I can't help but worry about it. With my daughter the line progression was super obvious, but that was with the old FRER

 

[AngelofTroy]

Mine are only really clear every other day. I know my lines were faint with my son for a while and I was worried for ages and he's 3 on Tuesday!

 

[ashleyg]

The first trimester is just so full of worry lol I hate it! I went in for my 2nd blood draw today so on Monday I get the results to make sure that my numbers doubled. I think after I get that result I'll feel a lot better lol

 

[AngelofTroy]

It must be so reassuring having bloods done, I don't get those offered, my GP just took my word for it that I'm pregnant!

 

[ashleyg]

Oh my gosh I think I'd be such a nervous wreck until my first appointment! It still shocks me that not all doctors send you for blood work!

 

[opretriezz]

Wish I could help, I didn't take any FRERs, but I have heard many not liking them. Have you tried a digital?

 

[ashleyg]

I have! All of them said pregnant lol but I like to see the lines darken! I took a two more this morning and they are definately darker!!

Top test was taken two days ago, the 2nd blue dye was taken just now and so was the cheapie!

 

[DobbyForever]

Karl, lol no. Don't keep testing. I only did because I had a huge stash built up haha.

Ashley, that blue dye test is excellent progression.

Blood tests aren't offered at my gyn unless they think you have an abnormality. I demand (politely but firmly request) mine because I have high anxiety disorder, so without having an early serial beta I will literally worry myself sick until my first appointment.

Thank you! I feel better after seeing it.

I could't NOT have a blood test done and just wait until my first appt. I would go crazy.

 

[ashleyg]

We are telling my dad tomorrow that I'm pregnant! I'm going to surprise him by putting a little note and two pregnancy tests ( a FRER and one digi that says 'pregnant') in a box. I'm so excited to see what he says lol.

So I peed on two more tests tonight to get them ready for his surprise. The digi only took seconds to say pregnant and my FRERs test line is finally a little darker than the control. I feel much better

 

[opretriezz]

Yay! How exciting. Let us know how it goes!

 

[DobbyForever]

Yay! I love that feeling when that happens! Excited to hear how he takes the news.
