Hi laides! I just got my BFP this week and confirmed with beta today at 200. I'm thrilled to say the least but cautiously optimistic as well. Like some of you, the whole thing doesnt feel real yet. We tired for 14 months and got our BFP with the 2nd IUI. Congratulations to all of you and best of luck!!!

For you ladies who are in further alone, how long did it take for you to have symptoms. Seriously, I want morning sickness LOL. I need something to make it more real for me.. I actually read on CNN that those who suffer from morning sickness stand a reduced risk of m/s versus those who do not have morning sickness. Any truth to this? So far the only symptom is sore bb's but that would be the progesterone.

Lastly, for those who had an IUI, did you go in to the RE for a 6-7 week scan? What should be expected? Do you hear a heartbeat?

Hi Ladies
I like this thread. I got my bfp on Monday 5th, I am now 4 weeks 1 day. I havent called my Drs yet, when do you think I should?

Hello! I got my BFP on 12/4 and went in for blood work on 12/5 and today, 12/7. The next time i go back is in 1 week for another beta test to make sure my levels are where they should be. If you got pregnant naturally (no help with fertility treatments) i would call your OB and see when they'd like to see you. Some wait 8 weeks, but i dont think I could.

Hi knoxydd!! Sorry I dont know any of the answers but congrats on yur bfp!! it doesnt feel real to me either yet... why is it in america you all seem to get these blood tests and know our hcg levels?? its sooooo unfair..

rosabelle - you are in uk how come you had your levels tested?? I want some kind of test lol!!
And yeah I think I know my conception date, I've been putting it in to a few calculators but they are really varying now... like some saying 2nd aug some saying 22nd!!! i dont get it im getting cross with them now.

I only got my hcg levels tested because I didn't know I was pregnant yet (wasn't expecting my period for another 10 days!) and went into the ER complaining of SEVERE back pain (it was literally making me cry, it hurt so bad). Naturally, once the pregnancy test came back positive, they had to run all sorts of blood tests and ultrasounds to make sure it wasn't ectopic since I was in so much pain...

The hcg numbers ARE re-assuring, I won't deny that - but I think I would have preferred to stay in the dark about my pregnancy for another couple weeks. Knowing this early comes with a lot of stress. My doctor even told me not to get too excited in case it "doesn't stick"!

 

[josephine3]

So can you go to your doc in the us and request stuff? and just pay for it?

Sweetfolly thats mental you got your positive 10 days before af!!

nah im in australia
i actually had a specialist appointment booked before i knew i was pregnant as we were going to talk about IVF because the doctor didnt think it would happen naturally, so instead of talking about IVF she was congratulating us!
so in the appointment i asked if i needed to get HCG/progesterone done and she wrote it up for me..

I just found ot that I am preggos, 8 weeks, 5 days. My baby will be due july 2012. This is going to be my third one. I already have two girls, hoping this one is a boy. It's been 5 years since my last pregnancy, so somehow it seems new to me again

 

[rosabelle]

When is your first OB appt??

Yes mam it did!! (But they havent told me a new one yet) Haha long story short my normal cycles were about 40+ days so when they (primary care doctor) calculated my EDD based on my last period it was way off..... so when I went for my 1st US at my OB on wednesday they did my US 1st to try to determine how far along I was and couldnt see anything so said they thought I was just really really early... so they did more labs to confirm my HCG was increasing like it should and it was (2000+) and sent me back the next day to a more powerful high definition US machine and were able to see a gestional sack forming measuring at about 5 weeks 4 days on Thursday, no yolk or heartbeat yet but said that it was normal because it was too early to see that yet....did more labs on firday which came back @ 5473 and I am scheduled for another appt and US on Tuesday.... but not sure if they will want me to keep that or not based on labs I will keep u updated tho... Please let me know how your appt goes amd good luck!!!!!!

 

[josephine3]

Hi everyone sorry about the lack of updates from me my laptop is broke!!! ( argghhhh... will catch up with you all soon hoping pregnancy is treating you all well!!!

Im also thinking of starting this thread in 2nd and 3rd tri as well so when we move over there's a thread waiting for us!

6 weeks today and definitely feeling some morning sickness! Not pleasant, but not unexpected either. I was at a holiday party over the weekend and suddenly felt dizzy/nauseated just standing around talking to people. I had to go sit down and have some cold water. I felt better, but it came on really quick and strong!

First prenatal appt is this Friday.. so looking forward to that.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[Bug222]

im doing ok... my nausea hit with a bang at 6 weeks too.. but has settle down a bit now (only puking once or twice a day now)... unfortunately im on modified bedrest right now awaiting a repeat u/s.. i had some bleeding and a lot of pain last week and found out I have two subchorionic bleeds.... so any prayers/positive thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

[EMSchick22]

prayers going up bug222!!!!

 

[rosabelle]
