I started to show abouutttt. . . 14 weeks ish, I'm massive now!!!

I'll post a pic after I've posted cmaries!!!

imsotired - I'm not sure in the US but in england, they won't even attempt to find a heartbeat 'til ALOT later on, unless you have to have an emergency scan etc, don't be to disheartened if they don't try/ cant find it, because 5 weeks is the earliest it starts to beat!!!


It's lovely to hear you're both so in love with it already! hehe

me and my OH were too, then he had a bit of a break down, he didn't know why, started being a total ass and to this day I think it's because he was sub consciously worrying about it! so don't be too upset with him if he gets a bit weird in a week or two, it's TOTALLY normal, I spoke to sooo many women about it, if I hadn't I would have kicked him out! haha he was THAT moody xD

Oh no, you're very little! Awww. I know that I am gonna get HUGE! After I just lost near 30lbs dieting too...Oh well! Cmarie33 where is your bump pic?

Anyway I'm feeling better and not as worrried. I mean, I know all of the things that can go wrong and I'm hoping they don't happen but there is nothing I can do about it but take care of myself and worrying doesn't help me do that! I'm going to try and stay positive. It's so early that there is no use worrying. If something happens, it happens. Just praying for the best!

I think that they are doing a scan when I go for my appt at 5wks5ds. I think that most women who call about their pregnancy call around 6 weeks which would make their appt around 8 wks. I knew early and called around 4 weeks which is why my appy is around 6 because it's my ob/gyn's policy to have the patient come in within 2 weeks of calling. I know that we will most likely not see or hear the heartbeat and we probably won't see much of the baby in there yet. I'm trying not to worry and I can only hope that he asks me to come for another scan closer to 8 weeks so I don't have to wait until 12 weeks.

Yes...DH and I love baby already. I will keep my eyes open for strange behavior on his part, but so far so good. I know he is worried and it showed at first, but now he seems to be trying to be positive for me. I did have a bit of a mood swing yesterday which he was not happy about. I don't know if it was early hormones or just pressure on me. Hoping he can get used to my silly behavior!

I just have to hope everything turns out ok and try not to worry. I cannot wait until I am 12 wks! Thats not until May24th!

 

[cmarie33]

Haha I forgot! I'll email ameeann now! X

 

[ameeann]

it wont let me post it! it says the file is too large :/

 

[ImSoTired]

There are mostly only miscarriage threads/pregnancy problem threads oon the 1st trimester forum! It's no wonder we worry so much! I'm afraid to keep reading because it is all so negative! Wishing there were more happy/positive threads there! I only want to talk to people who are happy and positive about their pregnancy....same with people in real life, I only want to talk to people who are happy about my pregnancy. I want to be positive! I have a feeling that this is all going to work out for the best and I don't want people telling me otherwise!

Not many cramps so far today. It seems as though I cramp more in the late afternoon/early evening? It feels as though I have pulled a muscle in my abdomen also. All in all I think I am doing well! I'm just not having an easy time being patient! I want to see the baby now! lol. 12 wks can't come soon enough.

oh my god ImSoTired CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Is there anything you did different this month? I too am NTNP this month, as don't really want a Dec/Jan baby but curious to know if you did anything different other than NTNP lol!

Big congrats again!

Big congrats again!

Thanks so much! lol, no not really anything different. I was ntnp this cycle as I was stressed from ttc and didn't really want a Dec baby....I got one anyway! lol. Feb and March were both very regular cycles probably due to my weight loss and vitamins/supplements. We just bd'd when we felt like it and boom! I'm Due on the 6th or 7th of Dec.

 

[SazraD]

I'm exactly the same, I flipped put abit last cycle when af arrived and figured I didn't really want a December baby do would ntnp. I've still had to temp though to pinpoint ov coz I need blood work done 7dpo. It turns out we bd'd 3 days before and 1 day after so prob out anyway!

It's nice to hear of BFPs, especially since you were uP the wall with your cycles. Big congrats again!!!

 

[ImSoTired]

SazraD- I also kept up temping to be sure that this cycle was as short as the last and surprise it was! I O'd on cd 16 both cycles making my AF due on the 29th of March. Luckily she hasn't shown yet and I'm hoping that she doesn't for at least 9 months! The only reason I tested on the 27th of March is because I had a dream I got a bfp and even though I had no confidence that I was pregnant I got my bfp! We didn't know we were bd'ing on O day until after the fact and I didn't want to hold my breath because we had bd'd on O day before and nothing became of it. I'm so happy but just trying not to worry is so difficult. Good luck to you!

 

[ameeann]

yay! it worked! xD cmaries bump

 

[ImSoTired]

Aww omg you are both so tiny! I'm gonna be the size of a house by then! Such sweet little bumps!

 

[cmarie33]

Aww thanks ameeann! had such a lazy day today. Haven't even got dressed! Lol xx

 

[Mrs. JSH]

Aww, you ladies and your bumps are soooo cute!! Can't wait to see a bump pic from you, imsotired!

Well, I didn't want to tell you all this last week because I didn't want to take away from imsotireds baby news, but I have not such good news from the dr.

I had my appointment last wednesday, which my dr scheduled because I've only had two "periods" since I stopped taking my pills in august, the first period brought on by provera, and the second kind of came on it's own, though my dr thinks it was the provera still cause it was so close to the other one. So basically the doctor told me that not getting my periods means I'm not ovulating (duh! lol) and the problem has absolutely nothing to do with my birth control use, or taking it for so long. She said most likely there was a problem already and the bcp's only masked the symptoms.

So she took bloodwork (and of course I'm still waiting to hear back about it...) to see if there was any other medical reason why I might not be getting my period. She said from there I could start taking clomid to try to get me to ovulate, and if nothing happened about 6 mths then we'd do more tests. But I told her that I'd rather do all the tests first before taking pills that might not even do anything, so we're going to do that route first.

I called her today and they told me she will call me back tomorrow with the results from my bloodwork and to confirm that I'm definitely not pregnant. Once she does that I have to refill my provera prescription, take that for 10 days, and hopefully when I get a period after that, schedule my appointment for the hsg test to see if I have any blockages. And in the meantime my hubby is getting his swimmers tested, just in case. If the tests show nothing than I will be alternating between provera to get periods and clomid to ovulate, until we either get preggers or give up I guess.

It's crazy that I always thought I would have problems getting pregnant, but to actually get told that it will be difficult was still hard to take.

Well, hope that information doesn't upset our mama's, but I just wanted to share. Feeling really down this past couple of weeks so this just topped it off for me. I'm super emotional right now and can go from super happy to irrationally pissed off for no reason in 2 seconds.

I'll fill you all in once I hear more tomorrow. Let's just hope they didn't find anything in the bloodwork and we'll move on to the next test

 

[ImSoTired]

I'm hoping it is nothing serious Mrs JSH. You can talk to me anytime. I'm sure your doctor is doing everything she can to help you and I hope she can get you back on track really quick! I know it must be scary for you but try to be tough.

My doctor told me that my problems weren't from bc either but it most certainly was because before the pill I had my period around every 30 days give or take a day then suddenly after BC I have a 63 day cycle and a 72 day cycle? I don't think so. I have been having a lot of hormone issues and I'm surprised I got pregnant as fast as I did. Only 10 months after stopping BC, 7 months ttc. My hair is still falling out from stopping the pill. I'm hoping those wonderful pregnancy hormones will grow my a nice full head of hair again (even though it might fall out again afterward). At this rate I will be a bald pregnant woman!

Lastly I doubt you'll want to see my bump, I'll be the size of a house by then! I'm so happy I lost all that weight though because then I'd really be huge!

Anyway Mrs JSH keep us updated and I hope you are ok! I will keep my fx'd for you!

 

[SazraD]

Thanks ImSoTired. I am presuming am I out this month but then we usually bd in the 2 days leading up to O and maybe O day and it has never given us BFP so maybe as we've done it different this month it might... only time will tell!

Hearing your great news has definitely given me hope anyways! I've got a scan today to check my ovaries for PCOS but I've had blood tests and nothing was shown in them. I've also had HSG and my tubes are all clear. If they can tell me any results at the scan today that will be great, if not my next appt is the end of May

 

[cmarie33]

oh mrsJSH what an ordeal! I hate that bloodwork takes so long to come through. At least you've still got options- not that it's easy to try and think positive at the moment. We're all here for you whenever you want to talk xxx

 

[ImSoTired]

Hi girls. Not many new symptoms. I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow and my appt is on tuesday. We are going to tell our families after the appt if everything looks good on the scan/ bloodwork. So we will be telling the world at around 6 weeks! I can't wait! I'll be 12 weeks on the 24th of May. It really doesn't seem like it's that far off! I hope the time flies by! I am still worried and nervous but the excitement is definately growing everyday! I can't wait to have my little baby in my arms! I will before Christmas time!
