Good luck maybesoon, I hope that everything works out and your little bean is healthy!

I too like to POAS after getting that BFP LOL, I have taken 5 so far, just between yesterday and today!!! I think I do it just to make sure I am still pregnant, that it is real, and plus there is still that excitement that comes with seeing the positive, I don;t think that will get old until I run out of tests LOL. I have about 7 left...

Bahaha, I had 2 FRER leftover from last month, so I used one yesterday morning, then went and bought 2 digitals... so I have used one of each. I will get paranoid if I keep using them!
 
have you tried dry spray shampoo? LOVE that stuff when i'm too lazy to wash my hair in the morning!
 
I love the dry shampoo too! It helps dry out greasiness for sure. I used to use it when I didn't want to wash my hair the next day or after a workout before I could shower if I had somewhere to go.
 
I used dry shampoo or just tied my hair up (was lucky I could as it was long)... it eventually calmed down though!

Maybesoon - Glad that your little bean is still hanging on in there, but bet that was scary! Good luck with your follow up appointments sweetie! :flower:

I'm just enjoying what's left of this rainy bank holiday Monday... not looking forward to work tomorrow, as I am just soooo tired lately! Spent all day Thursday and Friday trying to hide my yawning at work! Tee Hee!

Big hugs :hugs::hugs: to all of you!

quick question - is anyone having AF-type cramps? i know it's normal, but it's unnerving! they're not strong, just light AF style cramps. no spotting, either. just curious! :)

I am having those too! Had them a couple days before my BFP and still today as well. I described them as AF cramps toned down a bit... Apparently that's normal.
 
good. i read online that it's normal, but i'm glad i'm not the only one with them. :)

yeah, they feel a little different than AF, not as strong. i just can't wait till sept. 18th when i have my first ultrasound - then i think it will truly hit me that this might really happen. :)
 
Thank you ladies! I'm going to have blood work ran in the am & depending on what that shows they will set my follow up ultrasound accordingly. It just sucked that it was my first ultrasound & they didn't let me see my little bean. They wouldn't even let my DH in the room.... :cry:

Yup me too!! I keep running to the loo when I feel somthing down there too but it's just loads of CM! I won't get a scan until 12 weeks :( x
 
i'm only getting a scan at 7 weeks because i'm high-risk. (i have crohn's disease)
i know at 7 weeks, it won't look like a whole lot, just a round blobby thing, but i'm still excited :)

i totally keep running to the bathroom to check if AF came. loads of cm...kinda gross! hehe
 
I was running to the bathroom yesterday too! I have been getting increased CM, and I got a few cramps yesterday. I am going for my blood test today at lunch, and then set up an appointment with a potential doctor next Tuesday. Which is good since I am taking that day off anyways!!! I have to find a new doctor since my previous doctor does not do OB anymore :( Boo.

I hear ya! My OB has me scheduled for October 10th, it feels like FOREVER away! Part of me is going to doubt the reality of it until I hear that little heartbeat :cry:
 
I am sure I will have a real appointment later on, but I want to meet this doctor and see if she is someone I like. I know it is early to do anything else really besides sit and chat... I will only be about 5 weeks.
 
Thank you ladies for the prayers and good luck wishes.... I was an absolute WRECK when I got there at the office.. It seemed like an eternity before they called me back too...Probably was considering most of the staff takes lunch from 11:30-12:30... I kept thinking--I need to PEE! And of course I did need to but I was needing to before they called me back..:rofl:.. My test came back +++++!!! The nurse did the little wheel thingy and said my due date was May 5th--but I'm sticking with the 4th.. Hee Hee..My son was born April 4th, and though I know this one will probably come a week early from the due date via c/section--I like the sound of May 4th...LOL Then she asked me to come to the front desk and I had to ask about the blood test.. Apparently, the urine test was put in but the order for my blood work wasn't, so it never got signed off on by the doctor..:( She marked my chart, and told me as long as my test was ++++ she'd leave it up to the doctor to decide (I'm sure he will) but my next appointment isn't until OCTOBER 22nd! I asked her why so far off and she said that his policy is to see you between 11 and 12 weeks.. I said I know all that but he's been monitoring my m/c's and hormones and such... She was nice and all, I'm not saying she wasn't but she kind of shrugged her shoulders and said that I was welcome to call back next week when he was there and speak to him myself.. I'm going to do that! October 22nd--I'll be 12 weeks! She was a new nurse in his office, so that may be part of the reason she probably felt like she was explaining all his policies and such to a 3 yr old throwing a tantrum..LOL.. So I called the dh and told him, and he said--GOOD, NO MORE THINKING ABOUT BUYING TESTS...:rofl::rofl::rofl: We still aren't telling anyone till my first real appointment, which I guess if I have to wait till 12 weeks, I do.. He will do an u/s during that appointment--found that out from my co-worker who is due in December because that is what happened at her first/12 wk appointment.. :dance::happydance::dance:

As far as greasy hair--My forehead is soooo oily--I've been using rubbing alcohol on it, and I've not noticed my hair being oily, but my son has very oily hair--DON'T FREAK OUT--I have him use a tar shampoo 2x a week and dish detergent (like Dawn) at least 1x-2x per week.. I know the dish detergent sounds funny to use on your hair--but it helps--It says on the bottle "Cuts grease and grime"..LOL :)

Welcome NEWBIES!!! So glad your here!! :):):)
 
ugh, i couldn't imagine waiting 8 more weeks!!!!!

my bff only has 2 ultrasounds per pregnancy - 8 weeks and the gender scan at 18 weeks. i can't believe it.

since i'm high-risk (i have crohn's disease) i get a ton of scans...that might be the only awesome thing about being high-risk.

still, i don't even go to my first doc appt. until 7 weeks. it seems sooo far away!! :)
 
I can't imagine having to wait 8 weeks! I called my EPU today as last week I was told they'd scan me at 6 weeks due to m/c's and ectopic and I spoke to a really mean woman who told me there's no point scanning on Friday cos chances are nothing will be seen and it would waste everyones time. I said it wouldn't waste my time if we could see and she basically told me I wasn't important she meant the sonographer :'( I'm now booked in for 10th Sept... TWW ARGH! And it seems like an eternity away!

I hope you manage to speak to your doc next week and get something sooner! Xx
 
Hello and welcome to all the new ladies... ive added you all to the front page... (if ive missed anyone just shout at me :haha:)

Maybesoon: i really hope everything turns out ok hunnie, i was spotting/bleeding in my last pregnancy and it was just the most horrendous and depressing thing to go through. So glad you got to know bean was still there, although not been able to see much. I got a scan at 5 weeks before and all i seen was a circle with a white outline :/

Waiting: sooo glad you got the results from doctors :happydance: but 22nd of october??? Blurghhh deffo go back and see if you can get in earlier :)

AFM: Im still waiting to get a letter or a phone call to let me know when to go for a scan :/ Hopefully i get to know soon :) Im thinking probs when im around 6-7 weeks though.

As far as testing goes!! hahaha..... ive used 29 IC's and 4x Clearblue Digitals! haha... ive got one left and gonna use it around 6 weeks :)
