Anybody else just found out they are PG with their first after TTC 12 months plus?!?

[Bunnygirlie]

Hiya, I had a positive test last weekend and looking for some ladies in the same situation to share symptoms and worries with.

Beetle I am on endometrim (3 a day) and get watery discharge, and therefore have the trickle fear.Totally get where you are coming from.

For me I think the fear is made worse by the fact that I did have bleeding on and off for a few weeks Hate being on paranoid knicker watch, hoping it will just go away with time.

How long is everyone on progesterone for? I am phasing it out this week and stop on Tuesday when I will be 12 weeks. As much as I can't wait to stop taking it, I have this irrational fear about stopping the progesterone, that it will cause something to go wrong.

I've not been on anything since BFP, no progesterone or anything. I wonder why it's so different for us all?!?

So 12 weeks today so obviously the sickness will now magically stop yeah?!?!?

Thanks!

Had my 12 week scan this morning, all good. Saw hands and feet and heart beating, very different to 6 week scan, amazing!

Great news bunny! So did the morning sickness and general feeling of yuk stop at the stroke of midnight?!

I have my 12 weeks scan on Monday (will actually be 11w 6d but assume that doesn't matter). Scan dread has started to set in, but telling myself that is normal, I don't feel anything is wrong, just getting nervous. We will start telling people if everything is ok ( we already told our parents) and I think that makes me feel nervous!

Hi, I know I'm a little late joining the party... I am 10 weeks pregnant after ttc for 4 years due to endometriosis. I am shocked, terrified and excited all at the same time x

bugs- nope, I am using the front door, although still really bloated.

shocked- never too late to join the party, welcome and congratulations!

Hi again, all. Sorry I haven't been on in a while: I have mostly been sleeping!
Lovely to hear about your 12 week scan bunny! Can't wait for mine now!

Interested to hear about people being on progesterone until then - I only had it for the two weeks after transfer. Wonder why? Although was glad to get rid of it - and it's parting gift of piles!

Had my 8 week scan last week. Was so nervous, but there it was, heartbeat and all! Becoming a bit more real now.

How are all your symptoms this week? I am TIRED. All the time!!

hat I wish! MS seems to be worse at the mo, keep waking up early and having to run for juice to stop the heaving
I know what you mean about scan dread, the week before was awful, I was a right state at work!

Welcome shock and congrats! How you feeling?

egg yay for your 8w scan

Sickness is really my main symptom, my boobs aren't sore or anything! Bit tired and tummy twinges now and again.

One more week of secrets and then the grand reveal

Oh so excited for you with the grand reveal!
12 weeks seems soooo far away!

Thanks *eggs

hat how was your scan?

12 scan went well! The pre scan terror got to ridiculous levels, didn't sleep at all last night and was absolutely terrified when we went into the scan room....but there it was on the screen, a little moving baby with everything looking good. Relief is an understatement!

We had bloods taken for genetic screening, so have a 7-10 day wait for those results back, but for now just enjoying the post scan relief.

Told my closest family members today, so it has been a very emotional day

Thanks bugs, yep it is such a great feeling, makes up for the terror/ nerves beforehand! How long until your 12 week scan?

It's funny how symptoms are so different, I haven't noticed any difference in my boobs, the nausea has been the main thing for me.

Hat - I know about the pre-scan fear. I think I'm having too many scans as I get so worked up before them that I'd be better off with a bigger break between each one. They have all been for good reasons, but still I'm letting myself get too stressed.

Hows is everyone going with weight and clothes? I weighed myself today and was a bit surprised to see that I've not actually put on any weight. I put on about 3kg during IVF (and 3kg the IVF before) so I've pretty over where I want to be, but no more weight since I was weighed for the last egg collection. However, my clothes are really getting tight! Both my boobs and my waist are bigger and straining out of clothes.

My main symptom is still tiredness, with nausea when I'm really tired. I feel like I should spend time with DH each evening, but last night I just fell asleep on the sofa again! I think he understands, although when he has days off (he works odd shifts) I think he looks forward to me being home to chat to and instead gets a useless tired wife. At least he makes me dinner. :)

Boobs are also big and sensitive, and my nipples are slightly soft and bulgy - like torpedoes poking out the front of my boobs if that makes any sense! Plus a slow digestive system, although my latest regime of a small glass of prune juice morning and evening seems to be resolving that (TMI!)

*bugs, so sorry to hear about your dog, I hope things worked out ok and you don't have to go ahead with it

time, I put on about half a stone with each round of IVF, so that's an extra stone. This time the bloatedness didn't go away when I got the BFP. Combined with nausea that seems to be quelled only by potatoes and toast and being told not to exercise when I had the bleed, I am seriously lardy now! My jeans are really uncomfortable and not sure whether to just get the next size up or wait for maternity jeans (!). Seems so weird to be thinking about buying maternity clothes..and surely too soon?

I also have the slow digestive system, prune juice may be what I need!

Glad to hear that she didn't have to be PTS Bugs, but still a big worry for you.

I've got large boobs to begin with, so that may be why I can't see any difference size wise yet - I could gain or lose a cup size and not notice. I dread to think what state they will be in at the end of nine months!
