Hey,

I haven't posted in here for a wee while for a number of reasons, but I have still been lurking. I really hope you don't mind me popping by and I really hope I don't upset anyone!

I want to congratulate all of you who have recently got the elusive BFP. I've had my heart in my mouth a few times over the last few weeks for some of you and thought that I'd finally actually say something!

This thread was one of the first that I followed and it's just so nice that you have all stuck together

Congratulations once again!!

 

[cmwilson]

Hi Cupcake! You are always welcome here! I recognize you from Nat's journal. Congrats to you on your BFP! When did you find out?

 

[CupCakeFairy]

Thank you!

Yeah, I'm more of a lurker/stalker than active poster - pretty much like me in RL actually! lol

I took a random one last Thursday to prepare for the lap and dye!

So chuffed for you though! Think you were my BFP icing on the BFP cake

 

[raventtc]

congrats Rachel and now Caroline!! OMG i am sooo excited for you both!! I am in tears about right now.... but totally happy ones

nothing going on for me or with me right now...i am totally thinking i should change my picture to my pets since its got some sort of luck on here with bfp!!

 

[bnporter81]

I'm thinking the same thing...I think I'll put my kitty on. I don't care if it's stupid...I need all the luck I can get!

Caroline, congrats!!!
Those are some beautiful DARK lines. I know your blood work will come back great and you have one sticky little bean there!

Katya, it does look like you've ovulated!But I know it must be frustrating to feel like you didn't BD enough.

 

[cmwilson]

Yay for kitty picture Bethany!! So cute! Bring on the good luck!

I just got my first hcg results and I'm definitely pregnant!! My level was 255 which they said was good. I go in on Monday for another blood test. I hope it increases!!

I haven't told DH yet because he is at work and I'd rather tell him in person. This day is going to draggggg. I think we'll tell our parents and my sister and sister-in-law right away but I want to hold off on telling others to make sure I make it to twelve weeks (except for you ladies ). So

 

[seabean]

Caroline, that's amazing! What great levels! I can't imagine waiting the whole day to tell hubby! He'll be so shocked and happy!

And now, for the interpretive dance production of "Caroline's BFP", as told by the gallery of smiles:

 

[seabean]

ok phew, back to work for me. i apparently have WAY too much time on my hands

 

[cmwilson]

Oh Dee that was so cute! Thank you for the illustrations, they pretty much nail the story!

 

[mrsc81]

I will be so happy when everyone in here has got there BFP!

 

[Rachel789]

Caroline- OMG I knew it as well-CONGRATULATIONS!!!

SOOOOOOOO excited for you! And those levels and lines are beautiful!

Bethany-I love the kitty pic, soooo cute...I hope it brings you luck

Katya-It does look like you o'ed. I know it would be disappointing if you didn't get to BD but it would be a good thing you o'ed. You will always have next cycle if this one doesnt work out

Raven-You should add an animal pic, it seems to be working

I am so excited with how many BFPs have been showing up in this thread, how amazing! It is only a matter of time before everyone has their BFP.

I got my 2nd bloodwork results and they went up a lot! First one which was 14 dpo was 206 and two days later on 16 dpo they quadrupled to 856 The nurse seemed very pleased with how much they went up. I had my blood drawn again this morning which will be 4 days after my last so I am curious to see what my levels might be at today! I feel a little tired off and on and boobs are getting more sore but other than that I feel just fine!

 

[rmsh1]

BIG congrats Caroline! So happy for you, this thread has had such a huge amount of luck lately, you are all going to join preggo land very soon.

 

[rmsh1]

Bethany, I hope your new avatar does the trick! Raven, time to get a pet avatar

And Rachel, yay for high levels!

 

[bnporter81]

Rachel, YAY! for high levels!!Sounds like everything is going great!

Caroline, OMG, you must be soooo excited to tell DH the news. I know he'll be on So happy for the two of you

 

[Rachel789]

Caroline you and I are only 4 days apart, how cool!!

 

[cmwilson]

Bethany - I am DYING to tell DH! I can't wait for him to get home! Plus my parents and my sister knew I was testing today and want to know but I want to tell DH first! Ahhh! I hope they don't get impatient and call.

Rachel - That is so cool we are only 4 days apart! My EDD is 5/12/13. I can't wait to share this journey with you! Your beta numbers look great. I hope mine are as good as your next Monday!

 

[Rachel789]

I know how exciting!!! I am sure your numbers will be great Are you feeling any symptoms yet? I still barely feel pregnant, but I am sure soon enough I will be missing feeling this good

 

[cmwilson]

Well there were things looking back now that I thought I was imagining...

Symptoms:

Early on I was having pain in my lower back, close to the left side. That went away after a few days.

About a few days in I started to have drainage down behind my nose into my throat and my throat was dry.

From 6 or so dpo to about 11 dpo I was feeling a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen like there was a line across my pelvic bone and downward pressure. I still feel it every now and then with some little twinges.

The last things have started since Saturday (13 dpo). I haven't been very hungry or I'm starving but sometimes when I eat it's hard to get it down like I'm nauseous but I don't really feel sick. I noticed also on Saturday that my areaolas looked bigger. I really thought I was imagining it but I think they are bigger. And the last two days the sides of my hurt.

Phew! Sorry for all the detail. Just excited.
