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

[Aphy]

Enjoy the normal day Luna! I hope you have many more of those to come

 

[Girly922]

Glad to hear everything went well Luna!

My nausea hasn't really kicked in yet, I've had a couple of waves but at this point with DD I was suffering like mad with nausea and food aversions.

I got my 3+ on my digi today so I'm really pleased. It was my last digi too so that signals the end of my POAS stage

 

[vaniilla]

Luna - I hope the nausea stays away for good!

Girly - woohoooo at getting 3+ one more worry gone! Hopefully this is as bad as your nausea will be this time around.

I really expected another 2-3 as I didn't get my 3+ with DD or my mc until 5 1/2wks.
I'm hoping, but I don't it. It'll probably kick in next week just to spite me. Haha.

Weenies that is awesome! I want to put cayenne pepper on everything these days lol.

Last night I prepared baked potato with a lot of cayenne pepper. DH likes it but he said it was too spicy

 

[Weebles]

I read some old wives,tales about cravings.. Sweets and it's a girl, spicy and it's a boy. I don't really believe that but I love speculation!

 

[DobbyForever]

I like to watch old wives tales videos on YouTube. The handful I have seen did like 10+ tests and used the majority to base their old robes tales guess, which ended up being correct! I know it's just offs but it's still fun to think about

 

[Mummafrog]

Girly - hurray! I'm glad you got your 3+ I'm scared of using my last digi in case I don't get one.

Yeah I don't really do wives tales.. but I do guess 12w scans quite often anyone hoping for one gender or another without judgement and obviously we all know everyone here will be happy and blessed with a healthy baby

Not felt much symptoms today, just stretchy pain if I lean forward too much. Last time it was all I thought about every minute of the day but I'm glad it's a bit less brain consuming atm because I need to get on with my essays!

 

[Aphy]

Yay! Got my 3+ today so now I can stop stressing cause it seems to be doing what it should. Was anxious since all my symptoms had stopped,no nausea for 3 days now and still so energized (thought you supposed to be exhausted??)

I was expecting to get 2-3 but I've currently got a prime subscription so was prepared to just order another pack off amazon if it did I had initially planned to wait until Friday to use it but all my cheapies are now matching the control line so I caved. Lol.

I think DH is hoping for a boy, although he won't say as much. But he has mentioned wanting one of each. I think this baby is a girl though.

Yay!! Please share some of your energy with me?? Lol

Be careful ladies the weeks estimators were pulled off of the shelves in the us. You can't buy them in stores or online, not even Amazon. I managed to find them at Walmart online (takes a week to arrive) and caved and bought a pack on eBay. Good deal though! $10 shipping included, money back guarantee, and is scheduled to arrive Friday . Really hoping for a 2-3. I think they said it's 200-2,000 so definitely plausible. My walmart one doesn't arrive until Monday and i'll be long gone so telling my parents to send it back

Anybody doing the early bloodwork or are you waiting for your anatomy scans?

Just had my phone prenatal . Love my gyn. First appointment/scan on 12/23 but in the meanwhile she said I can take as many betas as I want haha

 

[Aphy]

Girly,congrats on your 3+,it's amazing what one word,one digit and one symbol put together can duo to relieve anxiety. I am also done poas now. I hope your exhaustion passes soon!

Dobs,I really hope you get to see your 2-3 and yay for the scan being booked!

 

[Thejoie]

What's up with the photo uploader? Anyone else having trouble?

Finally found the clear blue advanced! Got my 2-3 weeks which makes sense as I'm 19dpo today. Yay! Have 2 extras so I can test next week too to make sure we are progressing on track

 

[Weebles]

Just remember that the weeks estimated is from ovulation and not your LMP! Sometimes people get freaked out and worry... I think that's why they are no longer available.

 

[Thejoie]

I was wondering why I couldn't find them anywhere!!! They say RIGHT on the instructions... does no one read them instructions anymore?! lol!!! I found mine at CVS pharmacy- which is where I found a flat First Response too!!

 

[Girly922]

I was wondering why they've been pulled off the market over there, they're not recalling them here (yet?).
I read in the leaflet that 3+ is hcg of 2753 upwards but I'm not sure if that's a recent leaflet and accurate.

I can't believe you guys struggle to get the normal (flat) first responses now too. What are the US doing with pregnancy tests?? I've heard the first response ?curve is really bad.

 

[DobbyForever]

Jealous I went to cvs, Walmart, Walgreens, target in three different towns ><. They always get pulled when I get a bfp r_r

 

[vaniilla]

I don't trust any tests It's why I rarely test more than a day, the lines can differ so much and the worry they can cause if they get lighter is just not worth it for me.

My husband and I are hoping for a boy! And I think it will be For symptoms I am still having regular nausea that requires me to be snacking almost constantly...ugh, hopefully I wont put on too much weight!

Hi,

Can I join the mid-June and July Firecrackers group? I'm 8+3 today, due 7/1/17. This is baby #2 for me. I have a sweet 4.5 year old DS.

I've been reading this thread for weeks, but for some reason have been holding off on joining. I think I will remain cautiously optimistic until our 20 week scan. It's funny, I was never this worried when pregnant with DS. For some reason, I feel like I can't truly celebrate until the anatomy scan shows no major anomalies (i.e., major trisomies that are incompatible with life).

We had a scan done last Friday, which showed a singleton pregnancy and heart rate of 150 BPM. I have been extremely ill with hyperemesis gravidarum again, and I was worried there might be twins in there--especially after reading about everyone's multiples in this thread!

I am hoping and praying that the hyperemesis lets up earlier during this pregnancy. With DS, I was sick until I delivered and had to be taken off work on disability at 9 weeks. It sucked! I took all weekend off work to get IV fluids and IV anti-nausea meds, but am going back tomorrow for my first 12.5 hour shift. I'm super nervous about how I will cope.

Thanks to all for reading. I'm looking forward to keeping up with everyone and their pregnancies.
