Done! I remember you from the other thread but I don't think you actually gave a date! (If I am wrong, don't mind me, I have been dealing with mild insomnia.)

OMG, you have insomnia too!!! What is with that? I was always one that went to bed at 9 didn't wake till 6.

Very normal, progesterone doesn't just make us sleepy it ALSO gives us sleepy insomnia. Totally fair, right?

So at 15 dpo HCG 74 Progesterone 45

My results for 18 dpo (but not quite 72 hours) was HCG 441 Progesterone 51

So almost 6 x up, which means I am doubling every day instead of 48-72 hours. CRAZY!

hey. my hcg was 17.5 at 9 dpo and then at 11 dpo it was 55.5 how is that?? I am not going in again for hcg.

 

[broodymrs]

Congrats tobefruitful! That is a fairy story. By october you'll have a full family, how exciting!

CONGRATS! Welcome to the thread and to First Tri! I would call up your regular family doctor and let them know you tested positive. They will make an appointment for you for when they feel is best.

That's great, it means you're more than doubling in 48-72 hours. They want to see you at least close to doubling.

LOL, because it is an obvious symptom? I normally didn't get it until later in pregnancy. This one is just proving to be different in a few ways.

Big welcome and congrats! Did you do OPKs? I miscarried in November so I know how you feel.

 

[daisyr21]

OMG!!! I love this tread!!! It's like you guys are in my brain LOL. I also have that wet feeling so far I have fought the urge to go check everytime I feel it but you can be sure that everytime I go to the bathroom I'm checking for blood :/ I'm having crazy headaches too and I'm pretty cranky. I don't know when I will be having a scan since I have to wait for some insurance things to go through. Hopefully within the next two weeks.

As far as baby names we like Marina for a girl, haven't thought any of boys. We are trying to keep with our M since we already have Mikaela and Mateo

I really like Marina! When I was a kid I used to watch this old-school version of The Little Mermaid (with the original story, not the disney-fied one) and she was named Marina in that.

 

[twinkletoe]

I have had such insomnia of past couple of days......been blaming hubbies breathing!! Oops!! Other than that I don't feel anything unusual......very gurgling tummy but that's not unusual for me at all!!

I feel so scared talking about it so early, but of you can't talk about it here where can you I guess? Will be so nice to get to know you lovely ladies! Xx

Yes I use opks and temp so I think that's when it happened. Well see if I'm right when I get a dr appt.

Thanks This weather has been absolutely beautiful, my husband and I moved down 4 years ago in October from Ohio. I will never get tired of never ever being cold or seeing snow that's for sure! Although I'm pretty sure I'm going to be one of the hottest pregnant girls ever come summer time!

Hi everyone! Anyone else feeling seriously bloated at the moment? I feel huge.

I wasn't until the last day or 2. Now I sure am!

is anyone else having some crazy vivid dreams??!

Definitely vivid, though not crazy - yet!

So at 15 dpo HCG 74 Progesterone 45

My results for 18 dpo (but not quite 72 hours) was HCG 441 Progesterone 51

So almost 6 x up, which means I am doubling every day instead of 48-72 hours. CRAZY!

WOOHOOOO!!!!! Congrats! Those are awesome numbers! I hope mine are as amazing when I get them back in a couple of hours!

OMG! I'm so happy you said this! I've been having little whooshes too and I keep thinking something is wrong and I'm bleeding. This pregnancy has been very different from my first one so far, so it's like I'm a rookie all over again!

It's crazy how different pregnancies can be right?! I've had 5 pregnancies, and yet somehow it feels like this is a first all over again!

Can i ask what symptoms everyone is getting.

Symptoms: Bloating, nausea, lack of appetite, back aches, cramping, sore nipples/sore boobs (yep two totally different sensations. lol), pulling/stretching twinges, uterine fullness, baby brain, exhaustion, dizziness, food aversion, and probably more then what I can think of. lol All of these have been off and on except for the boobs and cramps. Those have been constant since ovulation.

Hello, found out I'm preg hopefully a sticky bean after mc in oct. going off my period I'm due sept 30 but I didn't ovulate till like jan 18 so that makes it oct 11. So excited and nervous.

Welcome and congrats! I very much know how you feel. I've had 5 miscarriages in the past year and no living kids. How are you feeling with this pregnancy? I'm rooting for everyone on this thread to have a very sticky bean!!

I feel so scared talking about it so early, but of you can't talk about it here where can you I guess? Will be so nice to get to know you lovely ladies! Xx

I know all of my RPL buddies think I'm nuts for getting on here as soon as I did, but honestly I'm just plain excited about this pregnancy and like you say, I needed to talk about it with other ladies going through the same stuff!!

Kestersed, ErinDancey, tobefruitful, liz0012, twinkletoe - welcome and congrats to all of you ladies!!

So bloods have been taken for today, now I have to wait. 2 HOURS!! OMG! The agony! I wanna know NOW! lol

Anyone else have fun issues that you've had to deal with? I have PCOS, Hashimotos, MTHFR mutations, and had a septum removed back in October. lol I get to inject myself with lovenox once a day well into my pregnancy and I'll be on baby aspirin until 30 weeks, and progesterone supps until 10 weeks.
