Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[Weebles]

Huge congrats Dobby!! I'm happy for everyone getting their BFP but it's extra exciting when you see someone who was ltttc.

My appointment yesterday went well, everything looks good on the ultrasound, HB is 134. My Dr has decided to use the due date from my LMP since it's close enough to the scan so it's June 30th now... I kinda liked July 4th better. He also said I can pretty much expect to bleed from time to time for a few more weeks. Ugh! It's so stressful that my blood pressure is high for the first time in my life. All the bleeding is below my baby so he's optimistic and said to relax. Easier said though. Other than fatigue hitting hard at different points throughout the day I have no symptoms.. So different from my first that it's unsettling.

Hope everyone and their bumps are doing well!

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Fleuk I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I'm sure everything will be fine!

HCG again today around 1:30. Just praying for over 1000... If it is I'm thinking this will be my last beta and then we will schedule an ultrasound.

Thank you Fluek

Vanilla I'm the same as you and get looser bowels when pregnant, I think we're lucky for that though in comparison :/ I also go off meat! Haha we have similar pregnancies apparently xD I haven't gone off meat yet, last time it was around 5-6 weeks when the thought of chicken not in a stew or whatever would turn my stomach.

I'm glad it's not just me who goes off meat Poor dh who's terrible at cooking had to make his own dinners and eat them with the door closed in the kitchen so I couldn't smell it


Weebles - That's good to hear that your appointment went well, I can imagine the bleeding is stressful regardless, hopefully it disappears

.
Gagrlinpitt - good luck with your hcg test today!

 

[confuzion]

Mummafrog! - nice to see you on here. Now both you and Rainbowsun are 2 I remember from the June 2014 sunflowers group!

 

[Mummafrog]

Haha I just couldn't go in the kitchen last time! My poor 19 yo husband had to learn how to cook damn fast xD but he's soo good now and makes me lovely dinners also the smell of cooking bacon made me hurl.. so annoying xD

Aww confuzion I feel proud you remember me hehe, you're like famous on this site xD we're two days apart this time are you having an early scan?

 

[confuzion]

LOL I wouldn't say I'm famous. But I've made a lot of friends on here having TTC for so long before my daughter.

No early scan for me this time. Trying to stay as ignorant as possible until after the holidays. Have my first appointment and assuming ultrasound at 10+1 which is the 28th of December.

Good luck on your hcg today!!

I have an HMO and had to switch networks to get the doctor I wanted, no big deal but now I have to wait till Monday to make my appointment. Sigh.

I was feeling like I was getting a cold yesterday but feel okay today so hopefully my body is fighting off whatever is happening. Come onnnn lil bug- help momma fight the cold haha...

I promised myself I'm going to go to the gym tonight. I'm tired but not from pregnancy. I still get up at 4 to temp and then I always have to pee so I do my pregnancy test and then I'm up researching something

Today it was stretch mark creams and oils. Don't ask my why that matters at 4weeks to me but there I was 4:30am and I'm ordering things on Amazon. I need to let the temping go... but it's a reassurance to me so it's hard. Gonna try to let it go this weekend...

 

[Girly922]

I was just talking about temping on the rainbows thread. I was reading a page the other day that recommended continuing to temp until 12 weeks as a significant temp drop can signal pregnancy loss just as it does before AF shows, so I'm continuing for peace of mind. Lol.

I love the fact that you were ordering stuff at 4am just because it seemed important at the time

 

[Mummafrog]

Confuzion - yeah, I'm so glad you finally got wonder tot and you've got another little bean on board! I understand you wanting to take it slow, enjoy Christmas with your babe

Thejoie - you're going to knacker yourself not sleeping and going to the gym! I understand not wanting to stop having the reassurance, I tested again this morning. I'll do one more cb next week and hopefully get the 3+ and then I'll stop and wait for my booking and early scan.

I'm really feeling stretching tonight.. it's much earlier than the first time. That's probably normal.. but it better not be twins! I wouldn't be able to do my time off from work the way I'm planning with twins
My mum is staying here and we're really close, it's SO hard not to tell her but I want to do the big surprise at Christmas when I've got work sorted and a scan pic hehe.

 

[Girly922]

I'm keeping my digi until next Friday to hopefully get my 3+

My parents are currently on holiday abroad until mid December so it's a lot easier to hide it from them. My mum would just know! I've booked my viability scan for December 23rd, and then we'll see them on Boxing Day so will announce then all being well.

Hmmm that is a valid point. If only I didn't have to pee at that time- it'd be easier to get to sleep!! Sigh... I need to delete the Amazon app. It's going to get me in trouble.

I'm going to do the same! I'm running out of pregnancy tests!! Lol!! But I love seeing the progression

I am in the same boat. I talk to my mom almost everyday!! Thanksgiving is soon. I dunno how I'm going to make it without telling her!!

That's what I'm afraid of!! She's gonna see me on Thanksgiving and she will know! Maybe I'll bring one of my attention hogging dogs to distract her haha

 

[Flueky88]

Weeble glad your appt went well


AFM ultrasound went well measuring 7 weeks 1. Heart beat was 151. It was so awesome seeing flicker from heartbeat. I go back 4 weeks.

 

[808malia]

Glad to hear everyone is doing well!

Afm: I am thinking about telling my parents on Thanksgiving next Thursday, but not sure... I wont have my scan til the week after, and I really want to see a heartbeat before I start telling parents and so on...(although they will most likely know something is up when I turn down wine at the dinner table) But with both of my last pregnancies we never saw a heartbeat so I guess I just want to be sure...

 

[Maries_s]

I'm glad everyone is doing alright. I've been having headaches and a little of morning sickness.

 

[vaniilla]

Thejoie - I can't believe you're buying things at 4am! if it was me I'd be clicking and buying the wrong stuff, probably end up with gardening equipment and a boat

Confuzion - yeah, I'm so glad you finally got wonder tot and you've got another little bean on board! I understand you wanting to take it slow, enjoy Christmas with your babe

You'll have to make sure she stays distracted I'm sure she'll love the reveal though!

That's a tricky one, we have a similar issue as we have family staying over for Christmas and we won't see them for ages afterwards. Are you able to book an early scan just before?

 

[wannabeprego]

Hi ladies! I hope you don't mind me popping in for the night then disappearing. I just got my bfp today. I'm a little nervous getting excited since AF isn't due for 3 more days, but I'm going to enjoy what I can.

My O date was a little questionable due to temps so I may be off by one day, but right now I am looking at July 30th as due date. I would much prefer a July baby as I'm a July baby, and I'm a teacher so every week in the summer counts. I want as much time with my baby without being off work as possible.

Welcome to the group and Congratulations! H&H 9 months to you!

I've been reading this thread for over a week now, because I got my BFP last Tuesday. But since this is an IVF pregnancy and I've had a miscarriage in the past, I held off joining until I got two positive betas. HCG was 366 at 15dpo, and 840 at 17dpo, so I'll be keeping my fingers cautiously crossed.

Right now my EDD is July 23. I'm also a teacher, and a little nervous about a baby late in the summer, but we've waited so long for this one that I'll take what I can get

Welcome to the group and Congratulations! H&H 9 months to you! Congrats on great betas!!!!

That is awesome news! I am so glad that your US went so great!!!

 

[Mummafrog]

That's wonderful news Fluek! Glad little one is snug and strong in there

Hehe she's leaving in the morning and I've managed to keep it to myself! I don't think she suspected or she would have asked she's coming back for another couple of days soon.. but then probably not till Christmas so hopefully the announcement will be fun! I might put a scan pick in her card.

I'm doing really well eating healthy and drinking plenty so far, I need to kick myself to do light exercise more though >.>

 

[Thejoie]

Vanilla- I have an Amazon problem. It's WAY too convenient!!! I'm a member son j get free 2day shipping too. I'll let you guys know how I like the cream and oil!

Flueky: glad your appointment went well!! That's always such a wonderful feeling

Not really unless there is a problem... But my parents only live about 15mins away so, I can try to hold out. But unless I make myself "mocktails" they are gonna know something is up... That might be easier than telling them before the scan though...

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Results back 954. Doc is very happy and we are done with betas.. From #1 to #4 is been doubling every 48 hours!!! Now the nurse will call me tomorrow and I'll schedule our first ultrasound the first week of December!!
