Man you guys are chatty
Courtney try to stay positive, I'm sure your little bean is fine.

AFM I got my hcg results for 4w2d 232 does that sound good to you guys? My OB isn't doing repeat beta, not sure why but he seemed happy with that result. I have booked my dating scan for September 28th so I'll be between 8-9 weeks! I can't wait to see our little baby bean on the big screen. I too have loads of creamy cm that keeps sending me to the bathroom in fear!! No ms yet just sore bbs and super uber tired all the time.

I hope you all are doing well xx

I did a lot of reading on this after my 15dpo, 4+1 beta came bac at 93. Your numbers are perfect and on track. Probably why hes not doing repeats

Some HCG reference levels in here as to what to expect (only a guide though) x

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Oh courtney, what colour was the spotting??? could it of been old implantation blood etc??? you levels sound great to me...

Foxy your levels sound great to me... im sure i seen somewhere that at 4 weeks your HCG can be 50-500, so there is a broad scale.

Somersetlass: welcome hunnie ive added you to the front page

AFM: urgh im full of cold!!! ive got no energy, my head is stuff, my nose has given up on me... I seriously cant bebothered! and ive got about 101 jobs to be doing in the house and i just cant bebothered, im still in my pj's and i probs will be for the rest of today hahaha

You do right! Stay in those jammies! You need to rest up and get well Hope you feel better soon!

Yep my 15dpo / 4wk+1 beta was 93, and seems my docs are also happy with that! x

So happy it's turning out ok for you Courtney! Sounded really scary.

I'm really hoping I have a boy for my first. I was the oldest in my family and always wished I had a big brother to protect me. Plus, my evil MIL only had three boys, so she's been aching for a girl for 35 years and I'm afraid if I have one, she will never leave me alone. She's really bad with my SIL's DS. She steals him every time she is around and even during family photos like he is her son. I'm not sure I could handle it. My SIL is much nicer than I am.

My goodness time goes by so slow! When are all of your ladies having your first scan? I am a week from today and will be six weeks and one day. Do you think it will be too early to see the heartbeat?

I love reading and catching up with everyone. I can talk babies all day long but my dh already thinks I am crazy because I am constantly going to bed reading pregnancy blogs on my iPad....

 

[sarahuk]

Im having my first scan 1 week tomorrow. Ill be 5wk+4 Its super early so we are hoping to see atleast a gestational sac. Hope you get to see more! x

 

[TonyaG]

Courtney I'm so happy that the doctor said everything looked good. Has the spotting stopped?

My first scan is September 7th which will be at 6 weeks. I have another blood test tomorrow to make sure my beta is rising.

 

[jtink28]

my first scan is on sept. 18th...i'll be 7w2d, hoping to see the heartbeat!

question for you ladies - do any of you feel "not pregnant"? i am only 4w4d, and really, no big symptoms. i reached for a beer last night while my husband and i were watching tv, and he had to say, "what are you doing??"
a little achey in my abdomen, slightly sore breasts, that's it!
i know i am pregnant, but i don't think i feel pregnant at all!

i will be happy with a girl or boy, but i secretly want a little boy first

 

[Sass827]

Mine is Sept 19, so I will be 7 weeks 1 day. I've heard you an see the heart beat flashing on the scan and some will be able to hear a little, but many can't hear until 12 weeks. I hope we can hear or see something bc I have DH coming with me and I want him to feel included too.

 

[Sass827]

My sense of smell is pretty good, but that's about it. I was really feeling pms like most of the week. The one thing I've got going that warms my heart is how hard my skin is getting between my hips. =
oh and I'm pretty tired.

It was orangish pink in color. So strange bc my levels are so high. It worries me that they weren't able to detect anything on sono. I called my Dr office today as ER doc told me to follow up. They are Sooo annoying, they need to review the med records from ER and will let me know what they want to do. To be honest if my HCG levels are so high I do not want to go for repeat HCG checks. I just want my progesterone checked to make sure that's not the cause for spotting and mild cramping. I don't understand why these offices over complicate everything. It's like just friggen get me in office and possible do any early scan to make sure all is ok. I'm tired of this bloodwork nonsense. Ugh. This is so stressful. Ok sorry about my rant its just getting so annoying especially after all my losses you would think they would be a little more proactive!

I got my bfp today.. I super happy! My due date will be May 12th, or close enough. lol

Congrats & Welcome to all the new BFPs!!!!

 

[Babies123]

I woke up today with af like cramps - just like I usually get right before af arrives. Im hoping thats ok! is that normal? Ive had very slight cramping the last few days but this morning was a little more painful. I got up to use the bathroom and felt cramps so i went right back to bed. They feel fine right now but I was a little spooked bc ive heard cramps are normal but just slight cramps.
Anyone else experience this? Im scared!

 

[veronica s]

So I am 3w4d today and my OBGYN called me this morning and said my blood test from 2 days ago is positive and it looks like I'm 3 weeks along, duh! He wanted to see me in 3 weeks, on Sept 17. I will be 6w1d. What should I expect at this appointment? So nervous.

I've been taking poas tests every morning since Tuesday and they keep getting darker. That's a good sign. But I still worry. =/

pretty positive that those are 100% normal. my mom (who has had 6 healthy pregnancies) said that you should only be concerned if the pain takes your breath away, or if it's accompanied by blood.
i know, this whole early pregnancy thing is so nerve-wracking. i am dying for more symptoms, then when i get one, i analyze it to death

You should be fine. I had mild cramping with my last pregnancy all the way til i delivered (17 weeks ) I also know a lot of girls that had bad cramps at times through their pregancy. They have happy, healthy babies now! No worries!!
