October 2014 - am I the first one here...?

[makesamesswhenstressed]

Just got 2 very very (very very very) faint lines. The magical due date doo-dah says 3rd Oct is the magic number. Who knows? It could all go tits up still, but if you, like me, suspect you might be in the early stages it would be nice to chat.

I'll start the list shall I?

MakesAMessWhenStressed DC2, EDD 3rd Oct

Managed to read the whole thread as DS is napping. I will endeavour to keep up!

Hello everyone! Soooo happy to find this Group, I got my BFP last Weds total shock as only just started trying and no symptoms other than bigger heavier and sore boobs. It's five weeks since my last period so I guess I'm five weeks pregnant. Do I need to call GP? Really anxious about losing it but trying to think positive, this is my first baby :-).

Sorry - forgot to say due date is 8 October according to Internet and ovulating on 15th Jan.

Hi Spanielface, we've the same due date! We're really rather surprised too, we had been planning to start TTC in March when DS will be 2 so had relaxed things a little and weren't careful once this month..I know it only takes once and all that but

Hello - I am new (to these boards and to pregnancy) and according to calculators I'm either last day of September or early October... Can I join in anyway?

Lots of new autunumal mummas, welcome all!

Pretty sure stress is best avoided in early pregnancy, I must remember this when I next decide to watch England throw away a win against France!!! No more rugby for me

Avoid stress?! Not possible for me this week. Meant to have a lovely week off with dh, didn't happen, he ended up working all week. Plus various other things and now I'm back at work tomorrow!

Hiya got my blood results fri my hcg level was 306 and my progesterone level was 76, ive been back again for bloods again hopefully they will have doubled and they will arrange a scan next week, got to ring up tomorrow for results,
Keeping my fingers crossed x

No stress avoidance here either - DH is going through a consultation process at work that may end up in his redundancy. We started ttc, then (after having unprotected sex on a grand total of two occasions!) we received the letter and decided to stop trying until we knew what was going on. 2 weeks later, woke up with sore boobs, tested and got a bfp! Hopefully everything will turn out ok, and even if his job goes he should get a decent redundancy pay out, but still stressful. On top of that, DS has been ill with a high temperature for 3 days now, is utterly miserable and waking 2-3 times a night. Bah.

Makesamess so sorry to hear that take care of yourself and big hugs xo

Trouble hello! Lovely to see a Mar 12er here! Didn't you move from London to the south coast? Hope all is good. We moved from London to the US (just outside NYC) in late 2012 (dh is American). We're doing lots of DIY on the house we bought in Sept - I was painting the linen closet today. Nothing like a bfp to make me want to unpack our linens!! Dd will be 2 on 25 Mar (and DS will be 4 on 16 mar). It's a great age!

Queenasanti glad to hear your hcg & prog are good. Fingers crossed the hcg doubles nicely. Do you mind me asking why you're having bloods done?

Have been having weird tummy aches today and (tmi alert!) more creamy discharge. Means I've been frantically knicker checking! Tiredness is starting to hit too. I find the first trimester the hardest! And I only get nausea & exhaustion rather than vomiting...

I've got some 7th Oct buddies now :)

makesamess if you are still around, so sorry to hear what's happened. We had a few "chemical pregnancies" between DC1 and this...and I'm only a week late so this could still be one...it's tough. A rididulous amount of hoping and planning has already happened. Hope you feel better soon and ready to try again.

Hi I got a definite bfp on a digital this morning after agonising over the faintness of lines on other tests. Looks like I am due 10th October, with my 2nd. My pfb will be 2 on Friday .
Another teacher here so very pleased to get an October date as it means I get max. ML with minimum loss of pay.
No real symptoms yet other than fuller feeling boobs and exhaustion but I usually feel like that by the end of a week dealing with a toddler and lots of teenagers

Pinkhollie dc2 edd 10th Oct

So I have a question about dtd sorry if tmi!!...are you all still doing it? We are but it makes me worry about my little bean! I've read that its safe but im an eternal worrier!

Hello!

A very excited first timer herewith an EDD of 10/10/14.

Thanks so much for staying the read and for the link on exercise. I'm a runner myself but sure to an injury (not running related) I didn't run much last year. I was just starting up again when I got my BFP! I've decided to go for gentle running, nothing close to my previous marathon level of course, and see how I get on.

My OH is so excited but like Makes and MrsHende we keep reminding each other that we need to start realistic, as well as positive of course! I'm in my mid 30s and just don't want to take anything for granted.

Good to meet you all, and congratulations!

Hmmm, I meant thanks for starting the thread (makes) and for the link (cakebaker) x

Oh and congratulations everyone especially the first-timers I was on the Feb 12 bus and found it an absolute lifeline.
Mum2kiss I think you should be fine dtd but I feel nervous about it too and too tired to actually want to.

Hey all! Can I join?

Got a BFP on thursday on an ic, confirmed yesterday with a CB divi.

First time for us too. EDD 11.10.14

*digital!

Mum2kiss I personally havn't dtd more because I feel like poop than because of worry.
First day back at work after a week off and im shattered already. Hiding upstairs atm, not in a great mood either so best to avoid too much human interaction I think!

Yay blood results in and my hcg level has gone from 306 to '802', in 48 hrs so looking good

@ Flipfantasia: back in 2012 I had a mc then fell pregnant again and had an ectopic with removal of one of my tubes, I fell pregnant and 3 months after and was monitored; blood and early scans, I was lucky to give birth to my beautiful baby girl summer 2013, because she is only 6 months old iam still very paraniod of the whole pregnancy thing so asked to be monitored again and the hospital are great, I now have an early scan on Friday so very excited and nervous.
Hope everyone is doing ok and that you arent all feeling to sick, takecare x

Mum2kiss, we dtd throughout my last pregnancy (although less towards the end) and no problems at all. I haven't done this time but just because I've been up every night this week with an ill toddler, so definitely no energy for anything like that!

Queenasanti great news about your bloods! Looking good thanks for explaining - sorry you had such a time but glad you have your DD (and this little bean!). My midwife has suggested bloods to me this time due to previous mc (with an early scan at 6-7 weeks) but it's due to snow here tomorrow so doubt I'll drive there tomorrow (am nervous of driving on icy roads!).

Hi all. Could someone add me to the list please, got into 26.1.14 with eff of 5.10.14.

Have a 3 1/2 year old ds sat next to me. Should of been Oct10 baby but he was impatient and arrived at 33 weeks in Aug10.
We have been trying since July 13. Suffered mc end Nov13, horrific experience at 10 weeks. Really hoping for a sticky bean this time. Sticky baby dust to everyone. X

Queen, that sounds good.

Welcome newbies. Vicky, we're edd buddies! I guess you're probably taking that with a pince of salt with you 1st arriving early. My 1st was 3 days early, although 8days earlier than my LMP due date. Don't know if that's partly to do with more awareness of my cycle so possibly a more accurate dd this time. Who knows?

Feel a bit nervous as I don't have much in the way of symptoms. Maybe I'm still a bit queasy, but it comes and goes. Maybe I still feel dizzy, but that seems mostly gone too. I am tired, but that could just be life being so busy! I'm going crazy!!!
