Hellobee Boards

2nd beta is back. 116 which is exactly double. Going in for my third tomorrow and hoping the numbers are a little better than double! Cheapie test this morning came up positive faster and the weeks estimator on the CBED took a while longer to give me a week estimate so I'm hoping we are teetering over to 2-3 weeks?? How's everyone else doing? I randomly got really itchy last night all over before bed and I wonder if I ate something off.

welcome @coprtopmom - we are true due date twins.

hope your 3rd set of betas come back doubled up again @gingerbebe - I'm sure they will!

I've been having some random cramping here and there and have been really thirsty. Hopefully cramping is normal...

I lost my sense of smell after my surgery (good for morning sickness hopefully!) but I swear I've been catching whiffs of weird stuff all day. Something metallic, like warm coins. Then other times I feel like I catch a whiff of something like black peppercorns or even natural gas! Weird. Feeling hot today (after feeling freezing the last few days) and not much appetite.

@Mrs. Confetti: board hopping to commiserate with you on diarrhea lol. I've had that more often than constipation, wth, lol

ETA: now I'm thinking I sure do pick good topics to board hop and chime in on LOL

Still really early, but I'll join this board.

@CoprtopMom: I have been so thirsty and peeing all the time too. I'm in for a world of trouble when I go back to work next week. I'm a teacher and my planning periods are back to back into middle of the day. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it.

@gingerbebe: I hope that itching goes away. That just sounds uncomfortable.

@psw27: As long as its cramping without bleeding I'm sure you are fine.

@Mrs. Confetti: Sorry your digestive system is out of whack. Pregnancy does some crazy things to our bodies! I've been farting up a storm myself. I keep trying to blame it on the dogs.

@tequiero21: Welcome!

Added my appointment to the list. They fit me in Monday!

2/7 psw27

No bleeding or anything I'm sure it's fine @kate6214. Just sometimes when I go from sitting to standing. I'm trying not to over analyze. (Hard to do!!)

@psw27: Same with cramping here...i would say everyday this last week iv had mild cramping on and off. I heard it is normal, as long as its not very severe...

My second appointment is January 13!

I had an emergency appointment this morning. I've been spotting the last two days, so I was brought in for an ultrasound and a fourth beta. They were so nice and even ran the bloodwork while we waited. My numbers are over 1,000 (more than quadrupling...) and we got to see a gestational sac but no fetal pole yet.

I'm 5w tomorrow, so my second (should have been first!) ultrasound is next Monday!

@psw27: cramping is normal! It's your uterus growing

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Hooray for everything looking good! Sorry you had to go through a scare, but glad it wound up happy.

@psw27: Yes, VERY normal to have mild (up to moderate) cramping. I had plenty early on with my first, and have had some with this one. I kind of like it since it gives me a little reminder that yay, I'm pregnant!

@gingerbebe: Fingers crossed! Glad your first ones were good!

@gingerbebe: hooray for betas-- hopefully the wait isn't too rough! I'm impatient.

@Mrs. Confetti: sounds like its inevitable. They said the progesterone is irritating my cervix, and I need it for another 7 weeks!

@T.H.O.U.: still a chance. She saw two CL cysts but I think that just means I released two eggs? I'm only 5 weeks. You can't see the fetal pole until a bit later, so I'm scheduled for 6w1d.

Estimated Due Date (EDD): ~9/13
When Did You Find Out?: this evening
Child Number: 2
Where You Live: DC metro area
What kind of provider will you see?: OB-GYN (the question is: military or civilian)
When's Your First Appointment?: I don't have one yet, I'll probably have a test done when I take LO in for her Dr's appt Monday
What kind of birth do you want?: probably same as last time: medicated (my sis had a natural birth this time and said "not worth it!")
What You're Most Excited For: watching my LO become a big sister. Also: baby snuggles!
What You're Most Scared About: miscarriage (this would be miscarriage #3)
Symptoms so far: emotional, sore-ish boobs, and my skin didn't break out like it normally does before AF
Any fun plans to kick off the new year?: We were traveling
Do you have a blog? Not that I keep up with anymore.

Yay welcome new mamas!

Progesterone level came back - 25.6! Woo hoo!

HCG results in the AM. Fingers crossed!

I am so excited to be able to join this conversation! We got our BFP this morning! I needed to tell someone so I thought HB would be the best place!

Estimated Due Date (EDD):
September 12 (online calculator at this point)

When Did You Find Out?:
Sunday, 1/5 at 15 DPO

Child Number:
#1 -First time mom

Where You Live:
Chicago

What kind of provider will you see?:
I'll be making an appt at my OBGYN that is connected to the hospital where we want to give birth

When's Your First Appointment?:
Not sure yet as calling tomorrow for the appointment (maybe early Feb.)

What kind of birth do you want?:
I just want a happy & healthy baby but will be happy to get signed up for an epidural!

What You're Most Excited For:
Being a mom and getting to see DH as a dad!

What You're Most Scared About:
Only telling HB's since I am nervous about miscarriages. I haven't had one, but a lot of friends have dealt with this.

Symptoms so far:
Slight cramping (felt like I was getting my period)

With the weather being so bad in Chicago right now it is a good excuse to hibernate and that way it is easier to hide from friends and family until the time is right.

@Mrs. Confetti: Thanks! Congratulations to you too!

@gingerbebe: Woohoo! Can't wait to hear your excellent hcg results!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: My fingers are crossed it's just one, right?

Welcome @lindy and @pancakes!
