Hellobee Boards

@mrsjyw: I'm SO happy for you!!!!! I'm not a nov mama ( I don't think I am anyway ) but just wanted to say congrats again! Your first Dr. Appt is on my LO's 1st birthday!!!

@mrsjyw: Party's this Saturday!!!! I can't wait until it's over! Make sure you take your vitamins and eat well and drink lots of water! Baby J is going to be SO CUTE!

I'm also 28 DH is 32. Married about 14 months. Pregnant with our first, EDD is November 25.
We tried for awhile....this may have been cycle 8? I have a short luteal phase so we are THRILLED it happened naturally. I've had blood work done twice already (according to the nurse, my HCG levels are "respectable...") and I've got a doctors appointment on the 27th for my first ultrasound.

Yay! I'm not pregnant.... but November is very popular with birthdays in my family so it's always fun to see more November babies!

Congrats mommys!

@petuniasandpearls: aw yayyyy!! My first u/s is the 27th too!!!

@sulli301: thank you!!!

@kml636: thank you and yayyy for nov 2012!!!!

Hello!

I'm 24. DH is 26. Married 6 months.
Pregnant with our 1st, EDD Nov 23, 2012ish (haven't seen a doctor yet.

Got pregnant on cycle 5. Very first pregnancy. Was too sick to BD leading up to ovulation, but did it on ovulation day and 2 days after that, and that seemed to do the trick!

First appointment on 4/12, when I'll be one day shy of 8 weeks. Obviously that may change once we've done an u/s!

I had my first ultrasound yesterday and it didn't go so well...apparently the nurse thought I was 6-7 weeks, not 5 weeks, so we pretty much got YELLED AT for coming in so early for an u/s. Had a bit of a scare because the doctor even thought I was 6-7 weeks.

We did see a small little sac, and apparently it was right where it was supposed to be. They also ran blood tests and the results show that my HCG levels are doubling properly and my progesterone levels are good. Even though we haven't seen the heartbeat, they told us the good levels and the fact that there is a sac indicate a high likelihood for a "viable" pregnancy---yay!

We've had a few other communication problems with this doctors office..they have said I said certain things about my medical history (that I had a blocked tube in the past?) that I never said, the phlebotimist is terrible and left both of my arms black and blue last week and blamed it on me, and they've been downright rude to us since. They put us in a horrible mood yesterday, and now that I know my levels are good, I decided to switch doctors. I explained what happened to the new office (I actually used to go there, they are just really far from my house) and they were happy to have me back.

My next ultrasound is in 2 weeks and we should be able to see the heartbeat Now that I know there is a sac, my hormones are good, and I've had no spotting or severe cramps, I'm feeling a little more confident about this pregnancy.

Now I need to entertain myself for 2 weeks...

Almost at 8 weeks and not-so-patiently waiting for our first u/s on the 24th.

I started getting some more pregnancy symptoms this week. I've been feeling exhausted and queasy/not wanting to eat anything. How's everybody else feeling?

@ChelseaRose: @ksnow: our next appt and nt scan is scheduled for 4/24 as well! looks like we'll all be at the dr together!

@ChelseaRose: we told our family and our closest friends. i waited a couple of weeks after the BFP because i couldn't decide if i wanted to tell anyone, but then figured that id want my support system there in case m/c occurred. at this point i'm not planning on telling work until may or june, well into my second trimester. i totally understsand your hesitation, this is my first pregnancy and i had trouble deciding if i wanted to tell "in case," let alone after having suffered a loss previously.

good luck with your 3 hour g-test friday!!

@chelsearose - doing okay; just counting down the days till ultrasound and the first trimester are over! Still have 11 days until our first ultrasound; no tests yet except some blood tests they said they'd give me the results of at the appt- so nothing to report! My friend offered me to borrow her Doppler; but since I've never heard the heartbeat yet, I was too scared to try cause I know it can be hard to hear early on those and I didn't want to freak myself out!

Hi Ladies. I haven't posted on this thread yet but I'm due Nov 28th so I'm 7w2d today. Feeling OK. The morning sickness is starting to ramp up lately. Every morning when I wake up I'm really bloated and gassy and sometimes a little pukey too. The worst thing for me has been terrible pain in my back and hips. I sit at a desk all day so I have to really remind myself to get up and walk around as much as possible since that's the only things that really helps! I have my first ultrasound next week on Wednesday and I just can not wait to see a heartbeat so I can breath a little sigh of relief. We had an early miscarriage in January so I've been very nervous this whole pregnancy.

@petuniasandpearls: aw yay!! Isn't it so surreal and amazing?! I'll be going in around 10/11 wks for my nt scan/us

@petuniasandpearls: yea I'll be having one next week at a lil past 10 weeks and I've been googling what 10 week u/s look like, SO different from the last one at 6 weeks!! can't wait!

@ChelseaRose: hi Chelsea, I'm in the same situation as you. Had a mc at 12 weeks in nov. I'm 10 weeks right now with EDD of 11/12 but I'm so scared! I told two friends who guessed since I wasn't drinking. Otherwise, I'm keeping it quiet . Cautiously optimistic I guess!

Isnt it great to have a community like this where people know what you're going through?? I know its been extremely helpful and comforting to me!

I had my first ultrasound/first time hearing the heart beat today! It was great. They said everything looked good, based on LMP I was at 10 weeks 5 days and baby measured at 10 weeks 4 days, so they kept my due date on 15 November! It was so neat to see the baby moving around in there, can't wait until I can feel some of it!

@ksnow: amazing!! we may just be in labor at the same time!! Lol

Just got back from our second appt, no u/s but heard our bean's heartbeat for the first time. Dr said bean had a really strong heartbeat!! got my blood drawn for the first round of genetic testing.., we go back in four weeks, just about at the 14.5 week mark

@ChelseaRose: sooooo exciting!!!

@chelsearose & @mrsjyw yay! I'm happy everything is checking out good.

Not much to update on over here! Had a very successful first appt. on April 12th. Baby on ultrasound was measuring very close to the due date from my LMP so we kept due date at November 23rd. Saw a flickering little heartbeat!!

Otherwise I feel terrible. Have no energy at all and am nauseous on and off. I'm working two jobs right now, and the 2nd job is having its busiest month of the whole year right now. Couldn't have planned that out any worse!

Waiting patiently for the second trimester energy boost.
