March 2013 babies

[Tanja871]

Hey ladies,

Maybe you can offer me some reassurance as I think I am going nuts...

So, I got my first BFP last Wednesday, 11 days ago. It was a First Response test on the day before AF was due. I went out and got a digi with indicator which showed 1-2 weeks. I was feeling a little nauseous, slightly sore boob (yes, just one), slight lower back pain and mild AF like cramping. Since then I have done about a zillion tests and the lines do seem to be getting darker.

However, for the last week I have literally had no symptoms whatsoever So I took my second digi yesterday and it showed 2-3 weeks. Shouldn't this be 3+ by now, seeing as it was 10 days after the first one? According to my calculations I should be 5+3 weeks now...

I am really worried and this lack of symptoms is just driving me mad! I am seeing my GP on Wednesday but being in the UK they don't really do anything until you go to see the midwife and have the scan at 12 weeks. I am so scared of a missed mc....

Can anyone put my mind at rest? This is our first and I have been so desparate for this to work that I really can't relax into it now

Digis are wonderful and crap at the same time. They have a mind of their own. If you were 20 weeks pregnant you might only get a pregnant 1-2 on the test. I wouldn't worry about the symptoms either, I felt fine until 6 weeks last time.

I know its easier said then done but try not to worry
I got my bfp last sunday, the test said 2-3 weeks but when I went to the doctor and she worked our my dates she told me I was just over 5 weeks, so im not sure how accurate them tests are.
Also I have not really had any "proper" symptoms, just been feeling a bit more tired than usual.
Hope i've helped you a bit, think positive

I think I'm about to have a heart attack LOL I took an FRER at 11dpo with a 2 hour hold and the test line was about as dark as the control. Then today at 16dpo, I tested with an FRER with a 20 MINUTE HOLD and got this test:

I hope it's a strong, healthy little one but I'm worried about twins! I have only found 2-3 around 16-21dpo as dark as this or close...everything else is WAY lighter!!! I took soy this cycle and twins run in the family too. YIKES!!

My tests have been ridiculously dark as well. I took a FRER at 14dpo and you can barely see the control line because the test line is so dark.
This was mine at 11dpo:

I also got a 2-3 on a CB digi at 11dpo which really freaked me out.

Thanks ladies

Oh and, of course, huge congrats to everyone on their BFPs I wish you all a H+H 9 months!

I went out and got another digi (hey - it was on offer, lol) and am intending to use it Weds morning, before I've got my GP appointment. By then I guess it should def. be a 3+ as it will be exactly 2 weeks after my first 1-2 weeks result.

We have only told a very few people and they all tell me I should be happy that I'm not feeling horrible with symptoms but I guess I'd rather suffer but feel that it's actually real. Not sure if that makes sense, lol...

Morning All
What a busy weekend you have all had it has taken me ages to catch up as I tend not to be online at the weekends
I am still completely shattered and have been suffering with nausea on and off at different times of the day.
I have taken 7 hpt the last one I took when I was 5 days late and the positive line was way darker than the control line and came up straight away (I wasnt aware this could mean twins!!!)
As for breast feeding, yes it can help you get back to your pre pg weight if you also eat a sensible balanced diet and it also has other help benefits too. xx

I put on about 3 stone with DD and managed to shed most of it but kept a stubborn 1/2 stone.

I've got a bit of that on my tum but most of its on my boobs, which increased a couple of cup sizes during my pregnancy and didn't shrink back down.

I am really hoping to work hard and get back to my original size and shape after my next baby is born as I know I didn't try as hard as I could have before.

As for how I am I'm feeling pretty nauseous today (although haven't been sick as yet). I was lucky enough to skip MS with Maia but not sure as I'm going to get away with it again x

 

[anna1986]

hey all

Hello

I am just 4 weeks today and it seem to have taken forever to get here!!
So excited to be here but VERY cautious too as we hope against hope that our little bean sticks and grows.

So far some nausea, VERY sore boobs and dead on my feet by 9PM! Plus DH complaining that I am a radiator in bed

Love to join you ladies and share this amazing time

 

[iprettii]

welcome hun.

I hope everyone has a great week...

Today I'm feeling a bit nauseous I'm going to take some Emetrol and go on with my day because the nausea has me feeling sluggish and with a 15 month old I don't have the time to feel this way lol.

 

[AmyB1978]

To sum up how I am feeling this morning:

Exhausted, nauseated, wanting to nest, achy/growing boobs, erect/sensitive nipples, bloated as all get out... and trying to embrace every minute of it!

We had a miscarriage with our first pregnancy at about 4 weeks... thankfully we've already past that point with this one and things just "seem" different this time. However, I am still terrified of losing my little monkey. I am trying to embrace feeling crappy. I told DH i don't care how sick I am as long as the baby and I are healthy at the end!

I get worried, when I complain, that somehow it will make something bad happen to this pregnancy. I know that isn't true... but I do think it.
