Who is 5 weeks and wants to be BnB friends thru this journey

[bernina]

Hi everyone and congratulations on your BFPs!

We've been TTC no 2 for about a year and a half. This cycle was our 4th round with fertility meds and we gave iui a try this month as well. 9 days after ovulation I got a super heavy period that was dark red with clots. I figured definitely not pregnant and didn't test. Stopped taking my folic acid and prenatals and decided to take a break from TTC. Fast forward to 24 hrs ago. I should be around day 14 of my current cycle. I started spotting and was very confused since it's the middle of my cycle. For some reason I decided to do a hpt. Imagine my complete shock when 2 dark lines appeared almost instantly. I must be the only person who sees blood and decides that now is a good time to do a test.

I called my fertility specialist first thing this morning and they had me come in for a blood test. After waiting all day the nurse called and said congratulations you're pregnant. I was in such shock that i can't even remember the hcg level she told me. It was somewhere in the mid to high 600s. I told her I thought that was low and she agreed but said everything could still be fine. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound on Tuesday and it can't get here soon enough!

I think I'm 5 weeks and 2 days using the date of iui since that's the last time any sperm came near me!

Sorry for such the long ramble!! I'm excited to have a group of ladies to talk to who are all around the same due date. So much easier going through this together.

Can't wait to hear more updates from everyone!

I will be 6 weeks tomorrow, and this will be my 2nd baby, my first child (DS) is from my first marriage and he will be 11 in December. He also has Down Syndrome. It took me many years to be ready to try for another child. My hubby and I have been married 3 years as of yesterday but together for 9. I am thrilled about this pregnancy and I can't wait to meet this little bean who has made me throw up the last two days lol!

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and your bean! Let us know what you find out tomorrow from the follow up labs. I am sure that they are just wanting to confirm a rise in the HCG.

Keep us posted Jeslynn!!

Keep up posted, i hope all is well. The hcg seems low, but i think its still in the 'normal' range for this early. If you next labs double, everything should be ok. I will keep you in my thoughts this weekend.

Congratulations, I think I am 5 weeks and 3 days!! I really need a support network like this, feeling unconfident already about this one. I would love you guys to list symptoms etc.

I have a 3 year old, lily and had two miscarriages (dec 2011, march 2013).

I got PID from my last miscarriage so feel lucky to be pregnant again however Im so anxious. Reading everyones post's keeps me excited.. sending everyone hugs and well wishes

I think this is great. I can't talk with anyone about all this stuff because we aren't ready to tell anyone just yet. My biggest problem are sore bb's and FATIGUE. Morning sickness can be bad one day and then i will be fine for a couple days. Hopefully I get lucky and it stays that way. I know its early, but i already feel my body no longer belongs to me, esp when a song on the radio made me cry on the way to work and once i got it together, a dead raccoon started the waterworks again. Come on, really, i said to myself lol.
I am SUPER nervous about this pregnancy too. My last one, I miscarried a week before my first prenatal appt They did a sono at ER, so i got to see the heartbeat once time at least and got to say goodbye. I feel like I will be crossing a huge hurdle if i make my first appt this time around. 11/11 seems a million years away. Every time i catch myself getting excited, i get sad. Not ready to even start thinking about names yet.

Yeah I am the same, I have told my mum but she lives in the UK which is where I am from so speak to her on skype but cant really go into details about symptoms with her. Well to be honest I don't have many symptoms and its all really confusing. I normally have a long cycle and ovulate on day 17ish. Last month I ovulated on day 10 and could have sworn I was pregnant, I felt everything, I usually can but then my period arrived and I feel so out of tune now, ike I dont know my own body. This month I got negatives on all OPK's and actually spot bled for most of the month, so me and hubby wrote off this month... and then randomly my period never came and 5 tests confirm I am pregnant including a digital.. so bizarre. My boobs throb every now and then, I have been feeling light headed and dizzy and sickie every now and then. Been having tummy pains especially last sunday but they went so maybe digestive issues... dont know. I just feel like I can't get excited Im just so unconfident in myself. Sorry for the long moan ha. I really hope every is doing well xxx

Awesome news!!!

My sis always had one what seemed like af between conception and bfp w all 3 successful pregnancies. Strange, but happened every time for her. She was always 4 wks farther along than she thought. Our bodies love to trick us just as soon as we think we have caught on.

My first sonogram is Monday, super excited and really nervous.
BBs hurt REALLY bad, have gross blue veins, and almost up a cup size and I have been sick all week and gained almost 3lbs. All this grossness and discomfort I hope are all good signs that pg is progressing as it should and that I finally have my sticky bean.
I joined a prenatal yoga class, and yes i am the least pregnant person in there, but two of the girls in 2nd tri took it in their 1st tri too and love it. It has been really helpful being around people going through it and that i have somewhere where i am not trying to hide it or deny it (another great thing about this forum) like i do with the rest of the world. It has also been great in helping me to relax and embrace and enjoy this and focusing less on the possibility of a loss.
