@babycanuck: I'm sorry. Take care of yourself
-
I called my OB on Monday morning and surprisingly they wanted to see me today. They did a urine test to confirm (it was still faint, but positive - which I expected at only 12 DPO) and took 5 vials of blood. We scheduled an US for 1/19 (I'll be 6 weeks at that point). I'll have another appointment on 1/27 with the dr... then it goes to every 4 weeks. So, I get to go a lot over the next couple of weeks!
I am a little worried though - we found out yesterday my DD has the flu and I did a Dr. Google search of flu and pregnancy (hint - don't do that unless you want to freak out). Now I'm all worried I'm going to get it and we'll lose the pregnancy... sigh! Anyone else deal with this in other pregnancies?
Other than that - feeling good so far. Have had a few twinges of nausea (which I keep second guessing is the flu).
How's everyone else feeling?
-
@CarrieLouWho: Congrats on your
5 vials of blood? The one thing I'm not looking forward to coming up is that. I hate needles.I'm feeling tired/sleepy. My eyelids are drooping, haha. Other than that I feel pretty good too.
I'm anxiously awaiting my first appointment on Monday.
I spoke with a nurse at my OB/GYN yesterday and she said they'll be able to do an ultrasound (yay!) I'm counting down the days. -
@CarrieLouWho: Nice you got into the doctor already & you've already got some appointments lined up! 5 vials of blood is a lot though!
@jenm: Tired and sleepy is pretty much my main "symptom" at this point too! Not sure if it's a legit symptom or not but I figured I'll go with it.
My first visit is 1/26 and I'll be 6w6d. They're supposed to do bloodwork, an exam, and an ultrasound. Crazy! Still in denial!
-
@CarrieLouWho: yay for an appointment already. I'm 5 weeks today according to my app but I'm starting to feel nauseous here and there too along with my favorite symptom of all time, metillic taste in my mouth. Yuck I had it with DS but don't remember it happening this early so I had DH to get me pickles since it helped last time. Also my smell is heightened and I'm getting a little food aversion but I think it's from the metillic taste making everything taste yucky. My advice on your dd and the flu is don't Google try to keep you hand clean and away from your face good luck with that I hope she gets well soon.
@shortiecake: I'm still in disbelief too. I Think I'm more shocked now then when I got my bfp with my DS it's crazy

Hi everyone! Very very hesitantly joining - got a squinter BFP yesterday and a not-so-squinted this AM!
Location: Ontario, Canada
EDD: September 17, 2015
How far along: 3 weeks, 6 days (according to my app... Who knows, tho. I wasn't confident in my O date as it was only my 3rd cycle since AF returned!)
First child? Nope, 2nd! DD is 16 months
First doctor appointment: haven't phoned them yet... I will call next week!
Any symptoms so far? Vivid dreams about being pregnant! It was actually what tipped me off to test yesterday! I had the same with DD!
Who have you told? DH and one BFF (needed her eyes to read the squinter!!)
-
@Ocean girl: Congrats! I had vivid dreams too which tipped me off. They have toned down a little but I had another last night. I dreamt we had a baby girl and I kept thinking she was my niece as a baby but everyone had to keep telling me she was mine, haha
-
@Ocean girl: welcome I had a vivid like that when I found out I was pregnant with my ds too but I didn't this time.
-
@Ocean girl: Congrats!
-
@jenm: vivid dreams were bad for me the first week I found out, like week 4. They have toned way down now that I'm half way into week 5
-
@CarrieLouWho: DD & I got the flu during my 2WW with this one. Somehow I managed to conceive. Try not to stress. This flu season has been particularly brutal. There's nor much you can do about it.
@Ocean girl: Welcome!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!Dreams sound so nice! DD has been sleeping so poorly until yesterday, I've pretty much been a zombie for over a week. She STTN for the first time in MONTHS last night and felt like a new woman: mopped, did all the laundry, cooked dinner, cleaned the kitchen, went to the bank! Hopefully its the light at the end of our tunnel. I was beginning to regret #2 so soon. O.o!!
-
Location: CA
EDD: Sept. 19th based on lmp
How far along: 3 weeks 5 days
First child? 2nd. DD is 19 months.
First doctor appointment: Feb. 9th

Who have you told? DH and my sister.
So excited to be here! Yay!
-
congrats @somebunny!
-
@jenm: @Honeygold89: the whole dream tip-off blows my mind!
I'm looking forward to all the other crazy dreams to be had this pregnancy. I had some pretty strange ones when I was pregnant with DD!! -
@Somebunny: congrats and welcome!!
-
@Ocean girl: @Somebunny: Congrats & welcome!!!
@Honeygold89: hope your 1st appointment went well!
-
Hi ladies! Congrats to all the new BFPs! Sorry I haven't checked in in some time. Have been so busy at work! How are all you ladies feeling? Any new symptoms lately? I still have sore breasts, and a couple other things here and there, but for the most part, I sometimes don't even feel pregnant, which is kind of freaking me out... People say that can be totally normal, so I suppose I probably shouldn't worry...
-
@mrscobee: I find I don't feel pregnant either. I had tons of symptoms with my first 2 pregnancies - nausea, painful pinchy nipples, cramps, tiredness, constant need to go to the bathroom. This time around I've been so busy I haven't even had the time to think about it.
-
@mrscobee: I'm feeling pretty good. Occasional light cramps, bloat and sore breasts are my main symptoms. Now kind of waiting to see what happens next...it seems like the days are passing so slowly!
-
@mrscobee: I feel normal. A little tired and I've got some bloating going on, but over all good. I don't feel pregnant yet either. I didn't with DD until the bloat got out of control and I was forced in maternity pants at 8ish weeks.
-
I'm still trying to spot flu symptoms since my dd had it. I think I have sinus stuff though - super congested, sore throat and my ears are stuffy - but no fever.
I've been super tired. But it's been hard to tell what's pregnancy related and what's me not feeling good.
I have felt quite a few twinges in my abdomen. And I'm not going to lie - I've taken a few more pregnancy tests to see if the line gets darker -
@CarrieLouWho: I took a weeks estimator today just to see what it said and it said 2-3 which is 4-5 weeks so on track.
My doc appt on Thursday was just to confirm the pregnancy and she wanted me to come back next week for a US but they were all booked so I go on the 21st (I should be 7+1) and then if all goes well I go for my first prenatal appt on the 23rd. She had me to do betas Thursday and repeat them Saturday. We wind up tell my parents and his mom and sister. We made little bags and put some mints with baby hand and foot prints in them along with little plastic baby carriages and a not that said coming September 2015. My mom didn't get it at first she asked, "what's coming" but my dad was like oh no another baby and they both fell out laughing so of course my moms hoping for a girl. DH mom had the best reaction, she screamed so loud that it made LO cry and she was aw you're pregnant and she did a little dance because of the September DD since it's close to her and her twin bday which is 9/11. Other than that we aren't telling anyone else until afte 12 weeks and I pr won't announce it on social media until we find out what it is.
As far as more symptoms I have started getting slight twinges in the lower abdominal area and a little nausea here and there but nothing major yet. -
@CarrieLouWho: I hear you on taking more tests! I have one stick left…and I told myself I could use it on Monday! (I'll be 20DPO) After that, I have to wait until I see the midwife on 1/26 Unless maybe I buy *one* weeks estimator a little closer to the appointment…
@Honeygold89: Exciting you have some appointments lined up! And very cool that you were able to tell your families! I hope my mom reacts how your DH's! That's really cool! At this point I'm still going to try and wait until 11-12 weeks which would be end of Feb/early March…but we'll see if I can do it. Want to figure out a cute/creative way to tell my parents because this will be their 1st grandchild.
-
@shortiecake: yeah I'm excited and so ready for the ultrasound I hope this week fly by. Have you looked on Pinterest they have great ideas for everything!

@diedraechin: @elljay: Congrats! Welcome!
-
@elljay: Congrats!

@elljay: CONGRATS!!!
Anyone else starting to feel the waves of nausea? I'm 5 weeks today and it really started hitting this weekend. Any time I go too long without food and BAM - I feel sick. I need to go to the store and stock up on snacks to keep everywhere. That's the only thing that got me through with LO#1.
I will say though - I am actually grateful to be feeling a little nauseous (it's mild right now - just feels like I got off a roller coaster)... after all this time TTC, it feels good to have some pregnancy symptoms. I guess that's one positive to IF - you feel so excited to have symptoms even if they aren't so fun.
-
@elljay: Welcome and congrats! Another due date twin! Yay!
@CarrieLouWho: I'm a day behind you (4w6d) and so far haven't felt much in the way of nausea. I wonder what tomorrow will bring! I did use my last FRER just to make sure I'm still in business (20dpo today)…and it was a relief to see a pretty dark line! I'm curious when I'll start noticing the tell-tale signs of pregnancy...
-
@CarrieLouWho: No nausea, but my sense of smell has spent the day changing. Everything is smelling sharper or stronger than it has in the past.
-
Called and have my first doctors appt for Jan 30th! We leave for a week in Mexico with DD and my ILs the next day - here's hoping for an uneventful trip!
Ladies, I can't stop peeing on sticks! DH supported my habit by picking up an FRER on his way home from work on Sunday! I didn't trust the 6 BFPs I had gotten on WondFos!
@elljay: congrats and welcome!!
-
Also, DH confessed last night that he is hoping for twins!
Ummm, what?
