***** DUE IN JUNE 08 ****** OMG I can't believe I just got BFP

[nh101]

I got BFP this morning six months to the day after my MC, only 12DPO but so happy. Please pray this one holds on!!!! I am due on June 1 according to OV calendars so have the pleasure of starting this thread.

Anyone else out there or am I the only mental person who tests this early?

It's a long time ago and my 'pregnancy' brain is making me forget a LOT I'm afraid. I just remember that it was essential oils that were the problem, and it looks like you've got the list of ones to avoid. I'm off to the Dr's at 1.40pm so will ask her then and see what I can advice after

Looney, it would be really really great if you could ask. Thank you so much. Seems the shower gel has rosewood in and that's ok apparently. Might retrieve it from the bin then...

No probs.....lol at getting from the bin!

deb - try squeezing a bit of lemon (and lime if you've got it) in your fizzy water. it's really helped me. i'm still naseous all the time but not on the verge of throwing up!

systemsaddict - i really feel for you, with ds i was feeling so tired and rough and kind of depressed as i don't deal with preg hormones well and dp would say things like, you can use pregnancy as an excuse to be a b*tch and that sort of thing! he just truly didn't understand what i was going through. eventually it all blew up and we nearly split up but he finally read a bit of one of my pregnancy books and realised i wasn't just making it all up. this time round he's being much more considerate but i still envy those mums with really involved dads that massage feet every night etc. etc. btw i get the, i'll give you a rest thing too, although i am home and he works so i guess i can't complain too much.

josey - i am so with you when it comes to smells making me sick. dp had a caramel latte in the car yesterday and i drove all the way back from sandhurst to london with my shirt over my nose because the caramel was making me gag!

lilypink - good luck for today!

floss - great news, hope you have smooth sailing now!

i have my scan tomorrow am at 9 so will let you all know how it goes.

Hi everyone

I just got a BFP last Thurs, this will be my first! v. excited but really nervous. have no symptoms yet except tireness - can't sleep more than 4hrs a night since I found out.
going to see the DR tomorrow.

oh and forgot to mention, some women just don't get morning sickness. it doesn't mean anything's wrong, it's just one of those things. i think they say between 50-80% of women suffer, although how they figure that i have no idea! my mil never had it one day with either of hers so she has a tough time understanding what i'm going through, in fact sometimes i think she may think i'm full of it!

Hey all- can't stop staring at bean pic....dh says s/he looks like a christmas tree! Morning sickness has kicked in with a vengance and I am thanking god that I can curl up in bed for the rest of the day....have ordered ginger beer, marmite, fizzy water and lime cordial (advice from various people) from Tesco's. Will get DH to buy sea bands for me on his way home from work. Quite pleased that am feeling this way though- better than the sick-with-worry feeling that I had on Thursday!Looking forward to next scan on Friday

Just a quicky......going for a blood test tomorrow to check hormone levels. She said that they will check for twins at the normal 12 week scan (due to family history). We're dating it atm as if my last period was a period but if the blood test will confirm what day I'm on. Hopefully get test results back in about a week. That's it. Booked in for widwife on 13th November and if test comes back as further gone, they may have to change it.

Thanks for support guys. I think he thinks it's 'just' hormonal - like extreme PMT - and so 'all in my head' - doesn't realise the impact of the physical symptoms too - and he's used to me being superwoman and handling everything so is finding it hard to adapt to new reality. He's going to have to though - it's not going to get any easier when beaniebaby arrives! I am seeing midwife Wednesday and hoping she will give me strict instructions that he has to do more; it will be more convincing to him coming from a medical professional. Although he won't be at the appointment, so come to think of it I could make sure she says whatever I want

Welcome HeyBaby07!

Hi I joined the thread over the weekend but have been puking too much to contribute anything and my Dad (who lives 100 miles away) was admitted to coronary care.

So all in all a great weekend! Think the support on here is phenomenal!

EDD 5th June and can't wait for the second trimester!

Hi, welcome emotionalwreck! Sorry to hear about your dad, hard to handle stuff like that at this point, especially at a distance, and especially if your sickness is bad. I had some experience of this during last pregnancy. How is he doing now? Hope you have people taking care of you ...

Hi Everyone

Got BFP last Thurs evening. EDD 22 June. This is my first baby. Am 35, so hope no complications. Was surprised at how quickly conception happened!

Am excited and scared all in one. Not too many symptoms at the moment, mainly stomach cramps which seem to get worse when someone is stressing me out and tiredness.

Wish these stomach cramps would go away really as finding them very unsettling.

Janet.

Hello Ladies and babybeans
ugh we are all feeling nice and sick again today then!!!
DH is being quite supportive no where near the rubbing the feet thing, but is letting me off with murder saying that he did mention in the car he hoped it didnt last too long!! I promised it wouldnt lol!!

Debs,have digestives next to your bed and try eating 1 or 2 before you get up. I was so so sick with my DS for 9months but I was ok with DD just the 1st 16 weeks. The fact you were ok with your boys is prob a girl making trouble for you

Welcome to Heybaby, emotionalwreck(hugs by the way, hope your Dad is alright) and August26 the cramps will get better I had them bad for the 1st couple of weeks.

Away to stomach feeding the family lol xx

Just read some of the olders messages on this thread and feeling really relieved that I'm not the only one not feeling pregnant, AT ALL! (apart from the metal taste sometimes) have never experienced this before and still in denial that it's actually true!
Any suggestions for encouraging a good night's sleep? can't switch my brain off...

Well, here is my update... I have just come back from the EPU and my 7 week baby measures 4-5 weeks, so we all know what that means, my baby died about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Which is exactly when I lost all my symptoms and stopped feeling pregnant, so my instincts were right. So that is 2 mc in 3 months - what am I doing wrong?

I wish you all the best 9 months and please cherish those horrid pg symptoms they are signs of your little bean kicking away. xx

Lilypink - I'm feel so sad for you! Did they say they could do any tests or anything? I'm here in tears for you, how very sad. I really really hope you have better luck next time round - life can be so unfair at times!!

Lots and lots of {{{ hugs }}}

Lilypink- I am so very sorry sweetie. This whole mc thing is devastating, I wish I could take it away from you.

Hoping you come back to us soon. Best love and big hugs.

PS- if you feel up to it there's a lovely mc thread in ttc.

Lilypink
I am so sorry-big hugs for you

Lilypink-forgot to say don't blame yourself. I've had 6 m/c and I know its nothing I've donex

I really don't know what to say Lilypink, you're a trooper. The life cycle is not perfect but with a little time things will be as they should be. You can look for reasons but according to all I've read MCs are still a really big mystery. I do have one idea so you're not left standing out in the cold with your question. While spending a year TTC I researched the cycle thing through and through. One part is interesting. If your egg is fertilized in the last little bit of your cycle, what would be 10 days or less of your regular lutenal phase, the fertilized egg doesn't have enough time to do something required for it to remain healthy. To say it differently, if you have a regular 28 day cycle and OV late....say CD20, that only gives you 8 days in the lutenal phase...therefore, supposedly not enough time to mature in the lutenal phase. I'm sure if you google it you'll find a better explaination. I hope this gives you something, maybe not what you need, but a little to focus positively on for your next go. Best wishes to you.

I'm so sorry, Lilypink. What a horrible thing to happen to you.

Are you going to wait for things to happen naturally or go into hospital?

xx

Big hugs Lilypink
