Soon to be 34 and feeling pressured, anyone else?!?!

DW says not to trip out about the blue dye. This was mid day yesterday's test and the line has faded a bit but here it is! We will still be testing again in the next few days.

I had a blue dye test & it was right for me so I'm sure all is fine. Very clear positive there whoooop xx

That's a great BFP! If you're worried about the blue dye test (and they aren't as reliable, but I'd say they're still relatively trustworthy in most cases), then go grab a cheapie at the Dollar Tree, or a FRER.

I'm so happy for you two!

Will DW be getting hcg betas done? I think since she has a history of ectopic pregnancy, it would be a wise choice, IMO, along with a reassurance scan at 6-7 weeks or so...

But in the meantime, I dance!

Yes Wookie. We are on it. Appointment scheduled for next Tuesday, waiting on a call back from the Dr to get the order for betas, midwife has joined the celebration and we will be getting a scan next week as well. DW is a picture of hormones and worry. The cute kind though. She called me this morning to ensure that her food selections for the day were good, let me know she was drinking her water and only had one cup of coffee. Lol!

Oh...and she picked up frer this morning too.

 

[wookie130]

Okay, good to hear! Take it one little step at a time...the first tri is TOUGH. It was an anxious time for me, waiting for test results and scans, etc. And while you feel like doo-doo, you don't necessarily feel pregnant. You just feel like doo.

I still dance.

Its amazing honey! I was a ball of worry right through to middle of 2nd tri and made my normally calm boyf a nervous wreck too. So happy for you both!

 

[LeahMSta]

Here is a pic of our frer this morning. I still can't believe that it is actually happening!!!

 

[joeys3453]

leah i am so happy for you guys!!! now just enjoy this and try not to stress about anything!!!

 

[wookie130]

Oh, it's happening! Look at that awesome FRER!!!! I dance!

 

[onebumpplease]

Beautiful lines

Beautiful!

Thanks everyone. We are both somewhere in between excited and terrified. I don't think we'll be able to breathe until after we see the bean in its proper place. Tuesday feels like an eternity away. We can already tell a lot of differences between the two pregnancies though. DW is hungry CONSTANTLY, has been getting ill in the evenings, is gassy and has sore bb. I'd say that there is a fair amount of hormones flying around in there. Lol!

 

[Lisa40]

It must be really scary after a loss Leah

Roll on Tuesday so you can see little bean in the right place.

A friend of mine had an ectopic pregnancy & then it took them a year to conceive the second time. She's now 24 weeks along & doing great.

Big hugs to your DW too, it's gonna be a roller coaster of emotions for you both but I'm sure from what I've read here you'll take care of her & support her throughout the whole process.

Really am so happy for you both. Like Wookie I dance

xx

I would think it would be terrifying, Leah...I had two losses, and I was VERY VERY TERRIFIED when I became pregnant a third time. It almost becomes becomes surreal...you just can't believe that anything good will come from the pregnancy. After my 7 week scan, I did begin to feel a bit better, and by 25 weeks or so, I truly relaxed. Well, kinda. I didn't actually exhale until Hannah was placed in my arms, which is VERY normal for women who've experienced a loss. Being as your DW experienced an ectopic, which is potentially life-threatening, I imagine you're both pretty nervous. The fact that things FEEL differently this time, is quite telling, however. Trust your DW's instinct about how things are going...when I was preggo with Hannah, I just felt...MORE pregnant, and DIFFERENT than with my loss pregnancies. It was a different experience, with basically some common symptoms, if that makes any sense.

Good luck! I wish I could speed up the clock for you two, so that you can have your medical reassurance and confirmation NOW...but, pregnancy is one big fat waiting game in one sense or another!
