Hellobee Boards

@missybear: Just checking in to see how you are doing!

@maddyz: This is true! The OB's office told me to stay hydrated, which I'm trying to do but pure water sounds awful to me. Thanks for the Gatorade suggestion. That's a really good idea!

In regards to the screaming teething baby, this, too, shall pass. You can do this!

@Legowife: Congratulations! I hope all goes well at the appointment next week!

@Legowife: Congrats and fingers crossed! Not sure if it will make you feel any better but I had some strips that looked similar with this and my last pregnancy. Last time I had a super dark line on a FRER and NOTHING on the strip. This time my strip didn't turn even slightly positive until what I'd guess was 15 dpo? Hard to tell because I only guess on the dates this time but literally 4 other brands were clearly positive before even getting a squinter. Good luck tomorrow and hope you officially join us soon!
@maddyz: My two are 20 months apart. The first trimester was hard but I absolutely love love love the age gap now (3 and 1.5). You will make it through!
@MrsKoala: Could you try warm water or seltzer? I can't drink plain cold water either. Hope hydration helps or at least they go away by 7 weeks. That is miserable to deal with.

@skipra: For some reason, it's the water flavor that I just can't do. I drank Sprite all last night because I needed bubbly plus flavor. The Gatorade worked like a charm, though. I almost feel like a normal human being!

@jasmum milk wasn't a problem for me before but was not something I ever drank. I have been obsessed all through pregnancy with lo1 and breastfeeding. It's needed.

I'm rethinking my dates. I was going based on LMP, but that can't be right. This was definitely a Christmas baby, no other BDing within a couple weeks (ah the glamorous life of having a toddler!) so I think that puts me at 9/15 or 9/16.

I have an ultrasound on 2/5 so I'll find out for sure then

@mrsjd: not soon enough!!! I'm so impatient And soooo jealous of your 1/26 appt!!

I'm thinking about getting a weeks estimator test to see if I get a 3+ like I think I should at this point...

@mrsjd: lol I think they're like $20 and I know they have a huge range but the ranges are supposed to be the "normal ranges" of hcg at those times... If my grocery store has them, I think I'll pick one up tomorrow when we're running errands. I need some reassurance! With LO1, my LMP and actual O date (I was actually charting) were SO off since I had just come off BCP, I got an ultrasound at 6w and like 3d maybe? It was SO reassuring!

@Applesandbananas: Oh and I just read about how your dates might be off. Mine too. I was supposed to ovulate around 12/11 but I'm pretty sure I didn't until at least the 22nd. I was so frustrated not knowing what was going on I got OPK's and they were positive on the 24th and 25th (didn't have them before that) but I had symptoms on the 22nd. So I'm guessing my EDD will probably 9/13-9/16. If it turns out to be the 13th, that was my due date with LO1. Kind of random! Maybe we will end up due date twins

@skipra: aww, that'll be fun to have the same due date as with your LO! When is your first appt?

@skipra: I got 2-3 on a 1.5 hour hold at 5w1d, I think that's pretty good! I'll take the other one Monday with FMU, I was googling at it seemed like most people got a 3+ around 5w4d. It's a big jump with the way their hcg ranges are set up. It gives me a little reassurance!!

@Applesandbananas: Congrats! I think that's great and should be very reassuring.

I'm 6 weeks today! Baby is the size of a blueberry (those fruit comparisons are going to get old FAST)

@LovelyPlum: Yep, me too!

I believe I am officially joining the group!

Any symptoms so far? So far not too much. Sensitive teeth for awhile but that has subsided. I had terrible morning sickness with my first so fingers crossed it isn't as bad this time around. The next two weeks should tell if I'm following the same path.

Who have you told? My husband. Two years ago we had a CP and I really want to confirm this one is sticking before I say much.

After 3 Clomid cycles, 1 CP and 2 Years worth of trying, finally a BFP for longer than 3 days! Took a break in November and was going on cycle 4 with Clomid but left my pills at home when I went out of town. Figured I was out, but decided to do 1 opk which came out positive on the 28th. On Monday 1/11 decided to use a hpt I had and I couldn't believe it when I saw a BFP! I poas 12 times! 13 if you count the doctors office! Still in such shock!!! We're over the moon with these news! Hoping my little poppy seed sticks around! Congrats and best of luck to everyone here!

@M4mi: congratulations!

Oh and I wanted to ask if anyone else has incredibly strange and horrifying dreams that seem incredibly real...or have started to do and say strange things while sleeping?..... I feel like I'm going a bit nuts....

@skipra: I ended up not taking it this morning. My FMU was so light. LO was up from 2:30-6 and so when I got up at 7:30, it wasn't really FMU. I'm going to take it tomorrow!
