@runnerd: Yay for getting an appointment! I wouldn't feel shady since you will actually be 8 weeks, although the baby may measure at 7 weeks so I'd tell the doc about your longer cycles so no one freaks out when the bean is measuring 7 weeks.
AFM, I go in for betas and progesterone tonight or tomorrow morning (depending when I get home from work) and then again 48 hours later. Nervous
Although I feel reassured that the doc had already ordered the progesterone as part of the HCG, I just didn't know.
-
@NorCalWayfarer: like you said - getting nice dark tests, so that's a good sign. I'll be thinking about you, let us know how it goes!
-
I've been waiting for someone to start this! Thanks
EDD: Early July. Dates are unsure since this was my miscarriage cycle and I got pregnant again. LMP gives me July 1. Charting gives me July 6
When Did You Find Out?: 13 DPO
Child Number: 4
Where You Live: Florida
What kind of provider will you see?: OB
When's Your First Appointment?: I cancelled my appointment with the OB to confirm and went to a free women's clinic instead. Going early last time didn't stop a m/c and the clinic will do an u/s Nov. 21. After then I'll call the regular OB office and make an appointment.
What kind of birth do you want?: hospital and unmedicated. That's what my others were.
What You're Most Excited For: Holding the baby DH and I created together. DH adopted my other kids so he's never experienced the pregnancy or baby part.
What You're Most Scared About: Another m/c. I'm already better off than last time though.
Symptoms so far: Mood swings! Allergies have kicked it up again.

I'm so excited to join you guys!!
EDD: July 16th- for now
When Did You Find Out?: 11/5 (13 DPO)
Child Number: 1!!
Where You Live: Upstate NY
What kind of provider will you see?: I work for an OB/GYN so I will most likely stay there out of convenience. I would love to have seen a midwifery practice though.
When's Your First Appointment?: Calling for confirmation betas today from my PCP, and then i'll officially see my OB/GYN at 8 weeks.
What kind of birth do you want?: One where we both come out healthy! Unmedicated hospital vaginal birth is what I'll strive for.
What You're Most Excited For: Right now? telling both of our parents. We are seeing both sides for the holidays (we live 8+ hours from either family) so we're planning fun ways to break the news!
What You're Most Scared About: M/C.
Symptoms so far: Surprisingly very few! Just felt a little "off" the past few days. Very fluttery stomach, not what I would call nausea. More like when you're anxious about something? Slightly sore boobs, and very thirsty.

@MrsSpottts: @thismustbetheplace: woo!!! Super excited for more July mamas!
-
Anyone having any symptoms really? Last night I had the worst backache and could barely sleep. And keep swearing I'm having these weird moments of queasiness, but maybe that's just wishful thinking since I want m/s to help alleviate m/c worries!
-
@runnerd: Thanks lady! Heading in for bloodwork later this morning so I should get some news Friday.
@MrsSpottts: @thismustbetheplace: Welcome!!
-
Ok, I decided we have enough people for me to start a due date list, feel free to copy and edit this list at anytime guys! Oh and stole last months idea with child # in parenthesis

7/16 - thismustbetheplace (#1) -
@MrsSpottts: @thismustbetheplace: hooray for more July mamas!! congrats ladies!
@runnerd: Not much on the symptom front here. I've been getting exhausted about 8pm every day which is unusual and have a moment of nausea here and there but that's about it! I feel ya on wanting more symptoms to alleviate m/c concerns.
-
congrats to all of you!!
-
@runnerd: Thanks for putting this list together!
My main symptoms are sore boobs, some intermittent nausea/hunger, and my uterus just feels kinda weird -- like strange cramping/bloating. Hoping it's a good sign! ETA -- I'm also really tired but it may just be that I'm not drinking my normal 2-4 cups of coffee a day.
-
I've pretty much been crampy since about 9DPO, but have had serious cramping and back aches going on for the past two days. I keep freaking out that I'm going to go find bleeding, but so far so good besides a little brown tinted CM once today, but I'm pretty sure that's just because my period was due yesterday. It's pretty hard not to let m/c flashbacks come racing forward when I saw that though.
-
Congrats July mommas!!!
-
Hi! I'm so excited to be joining you! I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and having some lovely ladies to share in this journey with
Congrats to everyone!!EDD: July 18
When Did You Find Out?: 11 dpo
Child Number: 1 (1 miscarriage in July -- oddly enough, on July 18)
Where You Live: St. Louis
What kind of provider will you see?: ob/gyn
When's Your First Appointment?: not sure yet
What kind of birth do you want?: unmedicated hospital birth
What You're Most Excited For: telling our families -- both of my husband's siblings/their spouses are currently expecting, so it will be awesome to let his family know there's a third on the way!
What You're Most Scared About: another miscarriage
Symptoms so far: my boobs have already grown quite a bit, I'm queasy most of the day, I want to go to bed at 7 pm, tons of cramping, and my heart is beating faster (happened last time too) -- I had almost no symptoms previously, so these are very welcome

-
@BlueberryPie: welcome!! and love your username, haha! that is soooo fun that your family will be welcoming so many babies in the next year
-
@BlueberryPie: Welcome! Wishing you a happy and health 9 months! So exciting you have so many people to share it with!
My early m/c was the weekend I'm due with this one -- it's also the weekend of a Half Ironman race I was training for last year but ended up not doing since I was a wreck that whole week/weekend. Was going to sign up for it this year, but got my BFP the morning registration opened! So two years in a row I'll be missing the race, but hopefully with a much happier outcome in 2014
And maybe I can get my butt in gear and do it in 2015!
-
@runnerd: I can totally empathize with you. I've been nervous with any cramps, but so far no bleeding *fx* it stays that way. I had one big cramp this morning on the way to work and all I could think of was oh no, I'm miscarrying again! But it passed and since then it hasn't been bad at all. Are you getting any betas done? I know you are going to see a new doctor, but just wondering if you're doing anything before your appointment? I'm hoping betas will calm my fears....
-
@NorCalWayfarer: while i would love some betas, no I'm not. I'll just be hoping for no major hiccups between now and my doctor appt. I'm excited for yours though cause I'm sure it will be confidence building news
-
@runnerd: Thanks! My sisters-in-law are actually due one day apart and I'm three months behind them -- it's going to be wild! On another note, sorry you had a little scare with the brown cm earlier
It sounds like you know the cause though, so hopefully it was just a one-time spot!
-
@NorCalWayfarer: oh fun! so are you into running at least some I guess since that's one of the three?
I can't convince myself to run since I got the BFP. I had spotting after 2 of the 4 times I ran during the pregnancy last time, before taking off running for a month before the m/c.
I am really bummed that I'm scared to run, but I'm trying to find alternative exercise like pilates, yoga, elliptical ( I say that, but I haven't exercised since I got the BFP lol)
-
@BlueberryPie: wow, yea that is going to be super fun!!! my husband's two cousins who are sisters had babies less than month apart last year and I know they are loving it.
-
@NorCalWayfarer: Thank you for the welcome! Life can be kind of funny in the timing of these things, can't it?
-
@runnerd: Well I wouldn't consider myself a "runner" per se, but I dabble in it
Have only been doing yoga and pilates since getting my BFP. What about biking or swimming? (you can see where my allegiances lay in the tri). I think I may get back into biking since it supposed to be safe until you are showing. And then I can do some swimming once the weather warms up a bit and my belly gets in the way of other activities. @BlueberryPie: It is funny
You just have to laugh at it to keep your sanity, that's for sure!

thanks ladies!!!
-
@littleredhairedgrl: Welcome and congratulations!! I'm so happy for you! And so excited to have another July mama
I can definitely feel you on the thirst symptom -- I chug one glass of water and need another 30 minutes later. I'm insatiable!!
-
@littleredhairedgrl: Welcome!!! I am also really thirsty...and then I have to pee a lot. It is a horrible cycle!!
-
I'm feeling a lot of relief right now, although I know it's still early and I don't even have my 48 hour levels back. But -- just got my initial betas back from the doc and HGC is at 456 and progesterone was at 21.1. From BetaBase.info and Babymed.com it looks like average HGC for 17DPO is 300, so I feel good about my #s. Doc also said they want progesterone above 20, so I'm good there too. So relieved for the moment!
I treasure the nurse's words -- "Congratulations, you are pregnant!!" 
-
@NorCalWayfarer: That's awesome! So glad you were able to get such relieving news -- those are excellent numbers.
@BlueberryPie: @littleredhairedgrl: Welcome ladies and congratulations! So fun to see our group grow in numbers. July is going to be a fun month!
-
@NorCalWayfarer: woo! Those numbers sound great!!
-
so glad to be a part of this group since we can really tell anyone yet!
my RE called and left a message on my phone last night congratulating us and reiterating that we will be back for another beta on monday and then sonogram on thursday, but then he said that he'd be keeping his fingers crossed this weekend for us and that kinda made me nervous.. my hcg was at 191 and progesterone at 51 yesterday and the nurse said this was really great, so not sure why he ended his message like that
still thinking positive and super excited though! just extremely tired and mild cramps and oh boy the bloating!
-
@littleredhairedgrl: that would bug me too that he ended his message like that... I'm sure he didn't mean anything specific, just that he's rooting for you in general!
I'm glad for this group too causes it kills me keeping secrets. DH and I can't even wait til Christmas or Birthdays to give gifts to each other, so it's so hard not telling people about this "gift".
-
hahaha @runnerd dh and i are like that too!! it was just my bday on tues and i received all my gifts from him the day each of them arrived in the mail, no wrapping or anything. he gets too excited to wait.
-
I'm jumping in ladies!
EDD: July 19, 2014
When Did You Find Out?: Like 2 hours ago! CD 32/ 13DPO
Child Number: 2
Where You Live: Los Angeles
What kind of provider will you see?: My usual OB/Gyn
When's Your First Appointment?: Dunno yet
What kind of birth do you want?: Had a c/s with DS (he was breech), so considering a VBAC. But I wouldn't be devastated if I had to have another c/s (just want a healthy baby)!
What You're Most Excited For: A growing family and a little sibling for DS.
What You're Most Scared About: Job prospects... I'm currently a SAHM but was planning on going back to work after the new year. Not sure how this will all fit into my plans now... hmmmm...
Symptoms so far: I really thought AF was coming... been having usual cramps, low back aches, moodiness, sore boobs. Did have some migraines a few days ago (a bit abnormal for me), as well as some mild nosebleeds. Nothing crazy though.

@Mrs. Amethyst: Congrats, and welcome!
-
@mrsamethyst congrats!!!
-
@Mrs. Amethyst: welcome!! Congrats!!!
@littleredhairedgrl: That would irk me too but I'm sure he's just rooting for a sticky baby! Fx for you, I know how nerve wracking waiting for betas can be.
The Dude and I are the same way w gifts! We always know what each other got and usually can't wait. Same for our families! Keeping the secret until Christmas is going to be so hard! Especially since we're seeing extended family over Thanksgivig - would be nice to announce in person but 7 wks is way to early for me.
Although I feel reassured that the doc had already ordered the progesterone as part of the HCG, I just didn't know.
It sounds like you know the cause though, so hopefully it was just a one-time spot!
