Hellobee Boards

I wasn't going to post in here yet, because of the sadness that came from starting the DIG back in March... but I need to be brave, so here we go.

EDD: July 5-6th, based on IVF transfer.

How far along: 3 weeks + 5 days (I'll be 4 weeks on Monday)

First child? This is pregnancy #3, but (hopefully) baby #2.

First doctor appointment: I'll see the GP at 14dpo for bloods, and try and ring the OB to book in around then too.

Any symptoms so far? Not much so far... just lots of CM (sorry, tmi? haha) and some cramping.

Who have you told? Outside of hubby, just you guys & my IVF support group. I'm normally really open about IVF and stuff with family and friends, but after our missed miscarriage, I just wanted a pressure free cycle. Still trying to figure out when to tell my parents.

I really, really hope I haven't jinxed things by posting here BUT I am so flipping hopeful that this might be our rainbow baby.

Another "is it really time for July babies again???" congrats ladies!!

@Boheme: I missed this somehow!

@Boheme: Um omg congrats!!!

@Boheme: What?!? Congratulations!

@Boheme: @jaguar: congrats!

@jaguar: Okay, Jag, if you are going to be brave, so will I. I really wasn't going to do this until I saw you on here. I am elated we are due date twins again.

EDD: July 2nd 2015
How far along: 4 weeks + 3 days
First child? This is my 3rd pregnancy and, God-willing, my first child
First doctor appointment: I haven't called my doctor yet, probably wait a few weeks. The discomfort of having to cancel OB appointments and sonograms is all too familiar.
Any symptoms so far? Not much, just some boob pains and cramping.
Who have you told? I have told my husband, sister, two coworkers, a very close family friend and my support group at my church. I told the people I did so they would pray for us, I am not so much "announcing" as asking for prayer and support. DH and I have decided to wait until our first ultrasound and 12 weeks to tell family and friends. We will hopefully tell our family at Christmas. We told our family last time at 8 weeks, so we want to wait longer. I know I would want them "rooting" for us, but after two losses, it's more complicated.
.

I wish everyone here the absolute best!

Chiming in with @coopsmama and @runnerd to say I can't believe it's been a year! I love my July baby, congrats mamas! Will totally be stalking you guys.

@simplyfelicity: @jaguar: So happy to be here with you two!

I can already tell this baby isn't going to be kind to me Food aversions through the roof, I have the nose of a bloodhound, and I am so dizzy. I had zero symptoms until 7 or 8 weeks last time!

@Boheme: Congratulations! Sorry you aren't feeling well, but hopefully that puts your mind at rest a bit!
@jaguar: I didn't have much in the way of symptoms last time either. Are you having any yet? I am having some cramping here and there but not as much as last time. Maybe a bit more tired than usual. It's so hard not to compare, but I know pregnancies can be so different from each other.
Hopefully, we get lots more mommas!

@simplyfelicity: I super love this list

@Reese: So glad you are here! I am still in that stage, too. It's nice to be around others who understand. Praying this is it for you!

@simplyfelicity: Mainly cramping here. And a bit of nausea if I don't eat... but I don't think I can blame the pregnancy yet.

@Jess1483: I'm petrified/excited of my name on a list! haha

@Reese: Hullo, approximate due date twin! Welcome. xx 4 weeks today here too! I'm also feeling the same.

GAHHHHH one hour til my clinic opens and I can ring them to come in and get bloods done. Want to barf.

Hi ladies! Another cautious joiner... thanks @simplyfelicity: for the encouragement!

EDD: July 7-8?

How far along: less than 4 weeks (I think). I didn't get a until Friday (CD 30) so I think I probably ovulated around CD 20-21)...

First child? No, DS is 16.5 months so hopefully they will be about 2 years apart.

First doctor appointment: I will call my midwife who delivered DS if my test is nice and dark next week.

Any symptoms so far? Not really, I was nauseous yesterday but feel ok today. Maybe just tired and thirsty?

Who have you told? just my bff. I haven't even told hubby yet! We are away visiting his parents so i didn't want to say anything until we are home.

I had an early m/c at 5 weeks last cycle so I'm super nervous. This feels too good to be true right now.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys better!

@QBbride: Yay! You are here! You' ll have to tell us about how your husband reacts to the happy news.

@Chaosmaven: welcome!!

@QBbride: Many of us (geez, almost all!) are in the same boat. This is our month!!

ETA: avatar change! I used to have a regular avatar that was similar to this but I lost it I settled on this one because it seems the most similar to the old one.

@QBbride: Yes, let us know how your partner took the news!

@Chaosmaven: Welcome, so nice to meet you!

@Reese: I like this new av. I really need to update mine too.

@simplyfelicity: Gah... scared of the list. haha.

@jaguar: I'm so sorry was that your first beta? Sending you positive vibes and good doubling rates. I've heard a low of positive stories with lowish betas to start. Hugs.

@jaguar: I had low hcg levels when I was first doing my beta testing. At about 12dpo my level was at 15 and then more than doubled to 91 around 14dpo. I would not stress too much about the number until you get your second beta results back.
