***** 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?

Great news Goingfor4

TS - my MS has started too but it's in the evening - with the boys I was always sick in the morning so of course dh thinks it's because it's a girl this time!!

Off to my German course today, all day , hope I don't drop off after lunch as I have become rather prone to an afternoon nap!!Will be getting some English pregnancy magazines froma friend so that will be good, oh and another test - just to make triply sure!!

Have a good weekend everyone

Deb

oops - - I meant goingfor3

Fabulous news goingfor3, a heartbeat, how exciting!!! And how nice of bubs to get him / herself into the right position for you to see that!!

I went to drs to get midwife referral and after all my griping about waste of time, actually saw lovely thorough new doctor who got me to do a urine sample - so this time will hopefully be 'officially' confirmed. He said they'd only call me if it was negative, but we all know that I'm going to be phoning next week to check, don't we? Does anyone know if the lab urine tests show hcg levels, or just positive / negative? It would be good to get some numbers - not that I need anything else to obsess over!

Dr asked if it was a 'planned' pregnancy - didn't quite know what to say! Planned in the abstract, yes, we wanted another one eventually, but with history of infertility neither of us expected it to happen first time we did the deed ... or rather, dp thought it was completely impossible, I had a sneaking suspicion my cycle issues might have been resolved by having 1st one but didn't let on does that count as TTC? Think we are slightly mad having two this close together but right now all I can see are the advantages and desperately hope this all works out!

Doing OK, just tired, crashed last night at 9 after half a bag of Doritos, all I could face eating. In fact I couldn't face anything at all till dp mentioned these Doritos were up in his room - suddenly that was the most exciting news ever! Boobs are bigger and a bit sore - only stopped bf'ing August so like supperwoman they're probably still v. responsive to the hormones - but otherwise I think I'm losing weight because am eating so little - but that's fine, I'm sure I'll put it on later, and am taking Pregnacare to make sure we get nutrients in.

Sorry v long post, will shut up now. Oh, Rolf - how did your dh react??

Goingfor4 eek!!!!!! This will be the last time I ever do this no number four for me!

systemsaddict - I would says it was planned just sdooner than expected!

I feel very sick this morning and I keep telling myself it's a good thing even though all I want to do is lie down. I'm going to Brighton today to go to the sealife centre - not really sure going somewhere so fishy is a good idea when I feel sick!

I hope you all enjoy your weekends.

Can everyone please just post how many weeks and days they are?
I am 5 weeks today

Supperwoman I am 21DPO, CD35 so I guess that makes me exactly 5 weeks today too.

HI I think I am six weeks exact - due on the 1st June.

I am so tired - I was in bed at 9.00pm last night but had to get up at 7.00am this morning when dd woke.

Great news goingfor3. What a relief for you

Systemsaddict - my DH was a bit bewildered at first (like he doesn't know how it happened!) - but I think he's pretty happy. It's takes a while for things to sink in for him so I'm keeping my mouth shut about it for now. I guess becuase of our obstetric history neither of us want to count our chickens.

Having said that, he's off test driving another utterly impractical car this afternoon! I blither on about us needing a Ford Galaxy and he puts his fingers in ears as he trots off to try out another 2-seater

My 1st 2 are 17 months apart. It's lovely having them close together.

Hi

Hope everyone ok.

Will post more later. I am 5 weeks three days from my dates.

goingfor3 that's fab, i'm really looking forward to mine next week. have had a little bit more spotting but it's dark and seems old and i'm so bloomin sick i'm really hoping all is well.

yesterday dp had to come home from work as i was so sick i couldn't take care of ds. it was horrible, much worse than anything i had with ds. feeling a bit better today though and lemon is my best friend.

looking at the screen seems to make it worse so signing off, hope everyone's feeling good and growing lovely bumps!

Hi Everyone

Hope everyone is doing ok.

Goingfor3 - did post on the pregnancy after m/c thread but will just reiterate thats brilliant it must have been emotional, its great news.

TwighlightSurfer - you never know you may be eating for 3 (or 4).

DLM - Bless you with the sickness, mine isnt as bad as that more feeling nauseous and shattered, but I have started drinking Rooibos tea and it does seem to really help. Hope things improve soon.

Kif - We got a really good double buggy - new for £41 plus postage off ebay. (I share it with sister in law when we sit for each other). Its not too heavy, still keeps you fit walking up a hill. But not too bad.

Today's been an odd day. I had MS mildly most of yesterday but today NONE. My belly hasn't hurt from all the "growing" nor have my boobs been achey. I'm totally freaked out!!! If my boobs weren't big and my belly not bloated, I wouldn't have a clue I was pregnant. IS THAT BAD? Could something be wrong? I know loads of women get pregnant then don't know it for a few months. Maybe if I hadn't been so attentive to my cycle I would be one of them. BUT geeezzz I need a symptom.........please..............

I am still very tired .

HI everyone

Posted a weeks ago or so, but been feeling rough every night and sick with it, never sick at night with DS's so this is wierd, am very tried 2 and thie screen making it worse.

Just trying to catch up with everyone, haven't seen a dr or midwife yet, will book appointment soon, want to keep it quiet til 12weeks, trying not to tell work until after christmas as not sure how it will go down with colleagues
Has everyone else seen a dr??

Hope you all having a good weekend.

Hi, I hope its ok to join you all? Twighlight's message is similar to how I am feeling. I got my lovely bfp on thurs the day af was due. I had been having a little bit of nausea and slightly tender boobs for a couple of days. But since then I haven't had any more symptoms. I am only 4 weeks 2 days so would have thought too early for symptoms but as I had some I am now totally freaked that they've gone. I have 16 mth dd but had ms in july so you can understand my fears....

Welcome LilyPink - Congratulations. I wouldnt worry too much about the lack of symptoms. I read somewhere (think it was mn) that lot of people dont get symptoms until at least 6 weeks.

Ts & Lilypink. Also I have a friend who had no symptoms at all. And another one (an older mum) who didnt realise she was pregnant until 4 months and went to the gp because she had a bloated tummy. She thought periods had stopped due to menopause.

Tigger13 - Sorry you are feeling so shocking. I feel rough (not as bad as you bless you) in the evenings which is different to with my ds. Dont know if you read my earlier post but I have found Rooibos tea helps with the nausea.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Ps when I went to gp to make booking appointment with midwife she worked edd as June 6th.

Thanks Tizzwizz, I feel though that sometimes you just know when it 'aint right. I did with my last mc. But I must remain positive - but then should I as then getting hopes up?! Oh this is stressful.

I remember when I had my dd the sickness was awful (which actually started at about 5 weeks), so I sympathise with all of you who are feeling bad - the smell of fridges was so horrendous that I ended up buying a new one!

Have a lovely sunday everyone and I am going out for the day so no frantic boob prodding checking for 'tenderness' for me!

Tigger
Hope you're feeling better today, I've started feeling sickly at night and never did with my ds's either - maybe we're both getting pink ones this time!!

I haven't been to see the DR yet, don't want to go too early.

Deb

Tigger I know what you mean about tellng work. I want to hold off from telling them too but theres no way I will make it till after Christmas. My friend popped in yesterday and asked had I had a boob job done

With my last two pregnancies I showed really early on about 8/9 weeks. I am dreading the reaction from work as I only returned from maternity leave in June.

I feel sick in the mornings and so tired that and massive boobs are the only early signs.

Hi Everyone, and welcome to all the new people!

Woke up this morning feeling absolutely huge! I already look about 6 months gone. Is this normal so early on? I didn't show at all until 8 months with DD. None of my jeans or trousers fit me and I'm worried that I'm doing the baby some damage by squeezing myself into my clothes.

I have already told work and my boss was far from happy. I work in a nursery and there are going to be 3 of us at the same time so I'm hoping that is all she is worried about.

I've got an appointment with the gp on wednesday morning but this hugeness is beginning to worry me. My friends have started joking that it might be twins. Surely you still wouldn't be showing at 6 weeks with twins??

LazyLou, my friend was showing at 6wks with twins! Sorry if that's not good news.

Am still feeling a little nauseous, tired and have sore boobs but on the whole am just feeling excited! Think i'm about 5 or 6 weeks preg, can't be sure as my periods are always very irregular, have midwife appointment on the 31st. Can't wait for the 12 week scan.

Tryingfor3, I had a 6wks scan with Ds as I had some bleeding, we saw his heartbeat and have a picture of the 'blob'! Am only a little bloated, can still fit into all my clothes thankfully.

Lazylou after the first baby you get big very quickly. I already can't fit into some of my clothes and have dug out comfy mat trousers from last time round!

Hi. Had mild symptoms late last night (uncomfortable belly) but woke this morning feeling unpregnant. I took a pregnancy test again and BFP. My DH thinks I'm worrying for no reason and should be happy I'm feeling good. I'm still tired so I guess I can count that. With DD I didn't have symptoms for another week.

On a fun note I found this and thought I would share Chinese Gender Chart. It's correct for my DD. Does it hold true for any of you? According to the chart I'm having a girl.

Back from my day out - paintballing - I didn't participate of course! Spent most of the time flitting off to the loo on knickerwatch!

TS - Good news about the symptoms last night. I am going to test again too. When I am 5 weeks (thurs) and see if I get stronger result than my first test at 4 weeks. Thursday seems so so far away...

Can I just ask when did you all get your first signs such as sore boobs and sickness? My husband thinks I am a loony, but once it is on your head that something is not right there is not alot else you can think of.

Oh and according to the predictor - a boy!

Lilypink my first symptoms were my sore boobs around CD20. I felt odd/off by CD28 (kinda anxious). By CD30 my tummy was cramping. Now at 5 weeks I feel NOTHING really.

Wow a boy.

The chinese gender chart got it wrong three out of four times for me!
