The nurse said it is a little low, but it may still be very early, so I am going back for another beta and we'll see if it's doubling. I am not exactly sure when I ovulated -it may have been later than I thought. I don't know. Soooo, I am trying not to freak out/get my hopes up until I get my 2nd beta results. Still having a lot of cramping. The nurse said my progesterone was great (30.6?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773945 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 16:27:16 +0000 Tionn3 2773945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I had a lot of cramping before my BFP, I swear I thought I was getting my period. I actually had cramping that felt like my period was coming all the way to week 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773942 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 16:15:42 +0000 raspberries 2773942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh, congrats!!!! I hope your bloodwork went well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773892 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 14:11:10 +0000 LindsayInNY 2773892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: Congrats!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773883 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 13:48:47 +0000 Shantuck 2773883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: My second successful pregnancy also involved tons of cramping. I think I had cramping off and on until week 7 or so. I definitely didn't have that with my first successful pregnancy (or my two intervening first trimester losses between those successful pregnancies). I was told cramping is normal but obviously it worried the heck out of me coming off of two consecutive losses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773876 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 13:31:47 +0000 MrsADS 2773876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mdf106 thanks. That's good to know. I don't think I had cramps like this at all my 1st pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773870 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 13:19:06 +0000 mdf106 2773870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: I had a lot of cramping very early in my second (successful) pregnancy. It felt like my normal PMS cramps, which can be pretty significant. It prevented me from testing early, because I was so sure my period was coming, and it was so unlike early on in my first pregnancy when I had none of my normal PMS symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773853 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 12:33:41 +0000 MrsADS 2773853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going this afternoon to get bloodwork at the OB's office. I have been having a ton of cramping all day which doesn't give me a lot of confidence :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773852 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 12:29:11 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2773852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: congratulations!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773847 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 12:16:21 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2773847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!

It's a weird feeling, ha. We had to go to a RE and do IUI/Clomid to get baby #1 (not the same as IVF, I know!) but I just assumed it would be similar if we tried for baby 2... guess not. Lol. It's a good thing, like you said I feel like the stress of having to decide whether to try for another one is now gone, the decision is made for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter/page/2#post-2773840 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 11:57:36 +0000 winniebee 2773840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: positive for sure!

This appears to be the real thing. :shocked: </p> [attach=4451/17/owh1hx.337x600.20170918_062101.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773753 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 21:28:46 +0000 SweetiePie 2773753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: Yeah, I never had baby fever either for this one. I always said to my husband "I wish we could just throw caution to the wind and have unprotected sex and just see what happens" so that I didn't have to make such a hard and fast decision about this. So definitely consider yourself lucky in that respect! I literally tortured myself for about a year, whether to call my RE or not. It was hard to do something that I didn't feel totally confident about, let alone something pretty unenjoyable to boot (ivf). At least if we could have just had sex ntnp it would have been fun :silly:<br /> But anyways, this may be a big blessing in disguise for you - I hope it's a boring, uneventful pregnancy and an easy breezy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773735 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 19:03:37 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2773735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it in all the pics without squinting. Congratulations! Hopefully this pregnancy will be much smoother :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773725 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 18:14:03 +0000 MrsADS 2773725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all. @sweetiepie thanks, I totally feel the same way. Like in the long run, I want another, but the thought of going through it all again is really overwhelming. I don't have baby fever at all. I had a complicated first pregnancy with preterm labor and then the first year was just so awful with colic, reflux, not sleeping ever, etc. and I think I probably had undiagnosed/untreated ppd. I'm actually glad (if I am pregnant) that it worked out this way - it's like the decision was taken out of my hands, which is better! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773714 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 17:09:00 +0000 knittylady 2773714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it in the first and definitely this last wondfo! Gentle Congrats! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773703 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 16:16:16 +0000 theotherstark 2773703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: definitely positive! Congratulations! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773685 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:20:12 +0000 SweetiePie 2773685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely positive on that wondfo!<br /> I also really didn't feel convinced that I wanted another (and I even did IVF!) but now at 14 weeks I'm coming around to the idea. It's not like I didn't/don't want another, I'm just terrified because my first go round was HARD. But in the end I know that I won't regret having another, but I may regret it if I don't (and it was because of my own decision).<br /> Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773677 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 12:45:51 +0000 hilsy85 2773677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like my wondfo yesterday at 11dpo :) congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773673 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 12:38:43 +0000 Purpledaisy 2773673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely looks positive to me! I'd try a digital. I got a positive when my line was that light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773668 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 12:05:28 +0000 mrsrain 2773668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely positive. You'll probably see a digital positive in a day or two which might feel more real 🙂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773663 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 10:48:07 +0000 MrsADS 2773663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all. I'm trying not to freak out. My husband thinks it's not a positive, so if it is a :bfp: , I guess I will have to wait a few days to get a darker one to convince him. I am thinking I ovulated later than I thought. I'm also having some mild period-like cramping today, so I don't know what that means. </p> <p>I guess I knew this was possible (ntnp) but really, really, really did not think it would happen. My husband was still trying to talk me into trying for #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-eyes-on-squinter#post-2773652 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 09:20:58 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2773652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, that's positive! So many hugs! You got this mama, congratulations! </p>
