Hi everyone, thanks for the all the congrats and support. And thanks also to those who I asked to share their stories earlier in the week, italian, bean and knicky for starters.
I have been laying low after my BFP on Tuesday, I'm still a bit freaked out and trying to stay both positive and realistic. I had a blood test for HCG at 13DPO which was 29.2, trying not to read too much into it, but it both feels low and maybe ok, so will wait till next week for another one. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy with this sort of level? Also have an early scan booked in next week. Feel like crap, mostly tired, but think I still have this rubbish virus that is going around.
There has been so much on here over the last few days, that I cant even begin to get my head around it. Congrats to wendyb and glad that you are feeling a bit better blackcats, I will be going down the path of supplements next if this one doesn't work out...good luck.
Sorry AF got you gum, I feel exactly like you do in the first week of the 2ww, really positive, though I think because you know that nothing could have gone right or wrong by then, so its all good if you know what I mean :) Though I feel even more like that when I'm ovulating, those happy hormones can convince you of anything
.
I really like that fact that some of you have been here for so loneg and come back as graduates or currently pg, it makes this thread more robust and fulfilling if you know what I mean. And knowing that if it all goes wrong this time, I have a place to come back to where people will understand. Has anyone ever met up in RL? Would anyone be interested in starting a casual group, to meet up for a drink sometimes so we can share our stories and knowledge more easily?
Diege how do you do it with 6!! Flies you made my laugh, I remember reading something a few days back, that said you thought you would be back on the CBFM come summer after your baby - does that mean you will be ttcing, with a newborn? If you are, them I am very impressed, for about the first 18mths after my son was born, the whole idea of ttc continued to freak me out!
Hope everyone is feeling ok this afternoon and at least has some chocolate or wine lined up for later. :)
