CB digi still says 1-2 and I'm 5 weeks tomorrow

Something just doesn't feel right. Can't do anything except wait!

Hoping for the best for you

Was it fmu?

I hope everything is alright

 

[stuckinoki]

Finally found a provider willing to take me on as a patient!!!

She wants to meet me and chat tomorrow and hopefully she will take me so I don't have to be referred out to another specialist.

Part of me is hoping she will try and do an US but the other part of me doesn't want it yet!

Fx fx fx

We've never made it this far before

 

[Buttercup84]

Beeka, keeping fc for you!
Sounds exciting stuckinoki, hope the provider is a good fit for you. I definitely think that this is your sticky bean!

 

[NDH]

Beeka try jot to worry til you get bloods dobw. The weeks indicators aren't exactly reliable. There was a lady on here who was still getting 2-3 weeks when her bloods came back over 7000 so she should definitely have been getting 3+

 

[NDH]

And Stucki I'm glad you found a provider to take you on. it makes me angry that their concern is their stats over your well-being

 

[Radiance]

Anyone else taking belly shots yet? I have mine up on my journal - cannot wait to post them all over FB

The bloat for #10 is real... Let me tell you!

 

[mlw24]

I'm due March 23rd!!

Sorry girl - try not to worry too much, I know that is hard to do right now but maybe there isn't anything wrong. Have you tried taking other tests? Are the lines still dark? Maybe try a different brand of digital?

When do you plan on going in to the doctor? If it makes you feel better, you can always go into the ER and see what is going on. Not sure if that'd be an option for you but if I was that freaked out over it or concerned I'd go.

 

[.hopeful.one.]

Ahh! The ms is killing me today. I can't keep anything down Is anyone else having issues with it? Any good tricks? I've been drinking ginger ale and trying to eat a little something every few hours but it's still bad.

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Bella I'm still bfing and don't have any tenderness when feeding - unless she yanks it in a funny angle or something. I did have a couple days of random tenderness like when my shirt rubbed against my boobs when I reached up or something.
but I've never had breast tenderness in pregnancy before anyway.

Thanks NDH! Keep me posted as to how nursing is going for you!

OK.....be honest.....

Who is still testing daily?? Or is it only me

I did two tests the day I got my BFP, then one test last week. I'm with BellaRosa - I'm scared to test now in case I get a BFN. I'm not really having any symptoms now.

My boobs have only been a little tender on the sides, not like last time when my nipple were hurting. I read you don't always feel tender breasts like the first pregnancy since your breasts were completing their final maturation during the first pregnancy.

So bloated...I look further along.

That's reassuring as I've not been feeling any breast pain/tenderness, but I guess after nearly 2 years of breastfeeding then they don't need to change much.

Are you still breastfeeding???

Joo, maybe you can weigh in too...

Breastfeeding while newly pregnant - mine are sooo sore!!!! Nothing I can't handle, but every time DD latches on I cringe! What are your experiences so far?!

Yes, my boobs and nipples were very tender before I got my BFP at about 4+3. I was cringing when DD latched on too, like when she was newborn. My DD has lost a bit of interest in nursing, feeds are getting shorter and she sometimes says no. We've had a slight change in routine meaning I can't nurse before breakfast anymore and sometimes she doesn't nap, so doesn't have her wake up milk. She is cutting back molars at the moment so this could account for the discomfort and loss of interest (I hope!!) rather than the pregnancy. Apparently pregnancy can alter the taste, has anyone else heard this?

Awwww. Yes, I've heard that. My DD is actually taking in MORE feeds... She had been down to 3x per day, and now every time she gets the teensiest bump or bruise it's "na-nas make all better?"

Radiance - so we are

Can you ladies help at all? I just rang my gynae unit as I took femara to get pregnant and the nurse said there nothing they can do until I'm CD37! And I have to test again on that day and then ring up to confirm and book a scan! But 6 weeks is earliest they can scan apparently

Mine's not til 8 weeks too.... I feel your impatience!!!

Anyone else taking belly shots yet? I have mine up on my journal - cannot wait to post them all over FB

Yes! I took a 3 week shot and am overdue for my 4 week shot. Trying to get a weekly belly shot this time because I didn't always get one last pregnancy! It's nice to load them on to the baby bump app too

Aww beankeeper that really does sound bittersweet. My DD comes off the breast a lot sooner and says it's all gone, I'm terrified I'm losing my supply.

As for bump pics - I had a lovely set of bump pics last time but from about 30 weeks I was unlucky enough to start getting stretch marks and by the end my bump was covered. Don't fancy doing them this time now. Can't wait to start seeing everyone's bumps xx

Be proud of your tiger stripes! You earned every last one! And bump pics can be of covered bumps! Mine are!

So far I haven't been having any issues with that - but I know I probably will once I hit 6 weeks. Hope you feel better!

Thanks! It hit for me just a few days before 6 weeks. It's definitely not fun but it is reassuring that things must be going well. I can't complain too much.

Welcome to the new bfps! What an active thread. Question for you ladies, anyone having low back pain that seems to be concentrated on one side in what I would think is the ovary area. I've been getting a dull throbbing in my low back in the left side and its freaking me out a bit. It's nothing really painful just like a dull throbbing ache or pulling sensation but it's not comfortable. I'm only 5+2 so I don't think i could be feeling an ectopic this early. No other cramping really. It comes and goes. I've heard it could be the corpus luteum... Anyone having anything similar?

 

[SilasLove]

I got a quant blood draw today and I'll have my second on Thursday. Then Dr said we will schedule an u/s.

 

[KalonKiki]

Welcome and congrats to the new , H&H 9 months! :wave:

Oh my gosh, Fezzle! I'm so excited to see you in here. I remember you from Melly and Confuzion's journals, I really hope that this is your sticky rainbow.
Also we're due date buddies.

Thanks Buttercup for agreeing to put the banners and Mama Animal list on the first page, it will be so much easier to keep track of everything.

I'm really hoping that this is a lucky thread for us all, FXed that we all have healthy babies that we'll get to meet between February-April.

 

[Fezzle]

I just realised this morning we have a chance for a leap day baby- I was born in a leap year- two weeks before the leap day though! I think it would be cool, though I also don't want to be that early.

 

[kittykat7210]

I think i'm out guys, my cramps are getting worse, getting quite painful now and i feel like i did last time

 

[CurlyRose]

That would be amazing! Wouldn't be too early for those of us at the start of the month either! Surely someone will manage it?

Kittykat, I really hope you're not out and it's just something stretching or settling.

 

[BellaRosa8302]

kittycat! Hoping for the best for you!
