Angel: It's so lovely to read that you're back, and that you are coping as well as you can be in your situation...I have no doubt that, with your determination, you're next one is your little rainbow baby, I'm rooting for you x
MnJ: How exciting that would have been for mother and daughter to be pregnant at the same time?! My mom and my nan were in the hospital beds next to each other giving birth to my younger sister and my uncle at the same time (There's only a couple of days difference between their birth dates) and, as a result, my sister and uncle are like best friends!
Armymama: Is that OPK from after ovulation? If it is, I'm anxiously awaiting that pregnancy test, because I've heard that OPKs become positive if you're pregnant because LH is so similar to HCG! Good luck!x
Janelleybean: I think (Fingers crossed) that I've already congratulated you for your BFP, but I think a second congratulations are in order for those AWESOME HCG NUMBERS!!! How high are they?! You either have one extremely healthy sticky bean or two little ones snuggled up somewhere inside there!! Very excited and anxiously awaiting the outcome!
HisGrace: Good luck for those beta results on Thursday! I have every faith that everything is progressing ok!
Lisalee: ARGH! How exciting is it that you're finally showing?! You must be so happy!! All I have at the moment is bloat as if I'm 6 months gone...I've had a lot of ignorant comments like "Wow! You're going to be HUGE if your bump is that big already?!" from a stranger!! To put it simply, I WASN'T impressed and I set him straight!
Hello to all the other lovely laides, and can't wait to catch up with you all soon!
My Bio: I'm happy to share a little personal information with you all
I'm Loren, 22 years old and living in London! I have a fantastic DH, who is the same age as me. I was in the middle of university training to become a vet but, after realising this wasn't the path for me, I'm completing my exit degree by December of this year in pre-clinical veterinary science...not sure what I'd like to do with my degree, but it looks like my first career will be mommy for a while anyway, which I'm more than happy with!
We are already a family of six, with 2 dogs, a cat and a rabbit! No children yet, so this one on the way will be our first!
University has taken up so much of the last 4/5 years of my life, that I seem to have no real interests anymore apart from reading for some downtime/to relax! I have a real passion for animals, however, and would like to base my future career along those lines!
AFM today: I feel like such a dumb worryhead! I've stupidly continued to take hpts until my first scan (This Saturday...yay!) and got extremely worried this morning when I took an IC and the second line was lighter than the control...I thought something bad was going to happen! After looking online, however, I read that once your levels of HCG reach around 30,000 hpts can't accurately detect hormone levwels properly anymore...I decided to test this by diluting my pee with water and BAM! the line is the darkest I've ever seen it! Needless to say, I'm now reassurred again that everything for now is still ok (See below!)
I've been feeling pretty awful these past few days, too, and that's mainly the reason I haven't been on. MS is in full swing and, no matter how much I wished for it, I feel so awful. It comes on in the morning and I heave for a few hours (Regardless of whether I've eaten or not!) and I only get a couple of hours relief before it returns again. I'm also having the worst heartburn and, for the first time in my life, migraines. I'd never heard of migraines during pregnancy, but I'm guessing it's because of the hormones? I keep having to tell myself off because, when I feel a little low, I convince myself I'm not strong enough to deal with all the things pregnancy will throw at me, but I'm hoping this is a normal emotion..
All in all, I'm extremely excited yet scared about my u/s on Saturday...we've wanted this for so long that I still feel in awe that it's finally happening for us, and I'm terrified that nothing is there, even though I've got all the evidence that there is!
but attitude he has always got a scheme up his sleeve and his next idea is the best, luckily I keep him grounded well I have had to be the boring one as bringing up two children on your own isn't always easy
. I am a little cautious about sharing loads due to where I live and our history in our little country but you know what, you only live once and in this day and age getting all my personal information is easier than me just posting it online on a forum
