Mid-May buddies!

Hi Ladies,got my BFP last night.
I have a party to go go next saturday and I am really worried everyone will realise I am not drinking! Thinking that if anyone asks if I want a drink ill get vodka lemonade and pass it off to DH first chance I get and then get myself just a lemonade!
I have told my mom and my sister.
My sister is also pregnant but she is already 18 weeks,she was a great shoulder to cry on when I had my mc last month.

I hear ya. My sil gets married next weekend. Its a three day event. I live on wine. I really dont know how ill make it through? I was thinking the vodka lemonade thing too.. And nobody knows. I dont want anyone knowing. Last time everyone knew we were struggling with infertility. Everyone knew we were doing treatments. Im enjoying the peace of nobody else knowing truthfully.

 

[ButternutBabe]

I actually really didn't expect this cycle to be the one for us. The only time we could of conceived would of been during a quickie in the shower, but apparently that was enough!

The only person I've told other than my partner is my sister who has a six month old of her own. I'm happy to keep it a secret until I'm at a safe stage.

 

[Dannypop]

Ha ha Butternut my friend had a quickie in the bath after her and her DH agreed they would not have a 3rd baby. Her one time was also all it took!

 

[lengyel87]

That's awesome Butternut ! Haha.

Has any one else done any other tests ? I'm 4 weeks exactly today but I'm not sure what my tests should be looking like they are still light. Line is definitely there. Just not as dark as the evap line.

 

[MissDoc]

Lengyel, I test daily still. The lines are finally dark, but still not quite as dark as control... Very close though. I think how dark doesn't matter as long as there's progression in the initial phase.

Ladies, I am so so antsy to hear my second beta results! They'll call around 4:30 today. Hope they've increased the right amount!

I did a digi this morning just because I had one. It said 1-2 which is spot on as I think I am 4 weeks tomorrow.
I have no tests left now! I might just buy some poundland ones though for peace of mind.

 

[JenzyKY]

My husband and 2 of my friends know. I'll probably tell my Mom when she comes in a few weeks.

I've tested every day but today since 9 dpo. My FRER got to close to the control line yesterday.

 

[Joyouss37]

Hi all! I got my BFP Tuesday, but have been cautious since AF isn't due until tommorrow. I think I am finally letting myself believe it. This will be #5 for me, #1 with my current husband (#2). Trying to decide if I should try to get bloodwork done....never have before but I am 37 now and am worried about that too.

 

[ButternutBabe]

I'm glad I'm not the only one still testing every now and then. I did a test this morning (I have a huge pack of very cheap test strips) and my positive was almost instant and very dark. I've been contemplating using one of my expensive fancy tests but there's really no reason to now.

Congrats Joy! While this is my first I love big families and plan on having four or five myself eventually. Fingers crossed for you that you make it through these early days with us.

 

[Dannypop]

I know how you all feel! I didn't care with DS1 or DS2 cause I never had any hassles with MCs and so I was blissfully unaware how lucky I was.

Now I am only going to be happy when I hear the heartbeat at the 7 week scan.

I called my gynae to ask when I should go for bloods but still waiting to hear. He's a fertility specialist so is pretty jacked up.

I have only done 1 test and not planning on testing again but I just want those bloods done! Feeling a little queasy in the evenings and a bit tired but no other symptoms yet. From what I remember the awful all day queasiness hits me at 6 weeks. Hoping it does so I know all is OK! But oh watch me moan when all IS ok and I am feeling crappy! Can't win ha ha

Really hoping I get MS too because of previous loss. I'm sure I will regret that wish in a few weeks if it happens!

 

[Skye1231]

Finally after a year of trying since my MC we got a positive test! EDD May 12 on our 5 year wedding anniversary. Hoping this one sticks ❤️

 

[Classic Girl]

Would love to join! If this is indeed our rainbow, EDD may 15!

 

[Jmxswack]

I got a positive test yesterday. Edd may 17th.

I have only told my husband but we had a pre-planned excuse to go visit my family out of town (wedding) scheduled for next week and will tell my parents/siblings and then his parents/siblings when we get home.

We just had a miscarriage in August and conceived without a cycle in between. We are trying to be hopeful.

But it did help me decide that since we told those family members about our loss last time that I'm fine with telling them right away this time. I just want to be able to celebrate this pregnancy, and hope for it to be full term.

 

[MissDoc]

Congrats to all the new BFPs! I love how much this group is growing!

 

[Dannypop]

Skye how special!

Welcome Classic girl and Jmx. It's amazing how many of us have experienced a MC. And now we are all aboard this thread to help each other through the 9 months ahead. I agree Jmx that I want the people close to me to know what's going on so their support is right there

 

[amanda1235]

Dannypop and jmx I agree too. Since I had to go the IVF route, it was easier for me to tell my close friends and family what we were going through. When I got pregnant the first time, we told those people that it had finally worked.when I miscarried, at first I felt embarrassed for having told people before the 3 month mark, but in the end, I was really happy I had, as those were the people that I needed for support after the loss. No shame in telling people and being excited from the get go

 

[MissDoc]

Just got my hCG back from yesterday's test. They almost tripled in 48 hours (was 122 at 3 wks 4 days and 361 at 3 wks 6 days). They said they want to see over 1000 by Tuesday. If it is looking good, then they'll book an early scan for about a week after that.

Apparently my RE's office keeps me until week 10 before releasing me back to OBGYN, even though he didn't actually do any intervention to help with this pregnancy (it happened naturally). Weird! But I don't mind, they provide close monitoring which is nice.

 

[ButternutBabe]

Today I'm week five! I experienced some nausea earlier but moved passed it quick. Other than that no other symptoms or exciting news to report haha

How are you all feeling today?

 

[lengyel87]

Woohoo ! Loving all the BFPS that have joined today !
I am feeling good today. My back is starting to hurt and my stomach is already hard and I feel huge... I heard that's normal for your second.
I can't wait to tell my mom tomorrow when I see her !
