My beta hcg went from 82 on Friday to 488 yesterday!

Yay! There are quite a few of us in here.
I am going to find out whenever I can, but I don't know if my doc does the MaterniT thing or not. I have my first doctor's appt tomorrow, which I am sure will consist of peeing in a cup and them telling me that I am preggo. My doctor will only see me til 12 weeks though as she only does GYN, then she refers me to another for OB. I guess I will find out more once I go to that doctor.
I don't have any symptoms yet, other than tingly boobs occasionally, but then I think that is in my head. I just stopped nursing my son in November, so I don't know if that will impact those symptoms or not.
We aren't telling people IRL yet either, except I told my mom and my bestie. She (my friend) is also TTC... I dread telling work. We are going through a lot of changes at work and I don't want this to impact my job or make them think that I can't handle things, kwim?
As far as telling everyone else, people will think we are nuts. This will be #4 for us and people just assumed we were done at 3. People just don't have that many kids anymore.
Strawberrymom, going from 2-3 didn't seem to change a lot for us. That's me speaking though and not DH...he might have a different story. Our others are in school already though so for me, they were able to help out. Now that we are going from 3 to 4 I am a bit nervous as our youngest will be 2 when this one is born.
Could we get a list of who all is expecting in October now? I feel like I can't keep up!
I'm going to find out. I think I worked it out that I can get a nub beginning of April, and a gender scan at the end of April. Going to 2-3 was easy for me but the only hard part was my DS2 would wait until I was nursing DS3 then would tell me everything he wanted, drinks, snacks, etc.Quote:

LOL.
I'm really not even thinking about finding out gender. I'm just going with the flow. I prefer to analyze if I feel cramping left or right, determining if leg hair gives any clue, if heartburn and the ring test tell me anything ;) I just don't know how I will feel...right now, its so early we don't even really feel pregnant yet, so give me that belly and I will see if I want to know who is inside :)
I haven't decided whether I'm going to find out or not. I probably will though because I don't usually have the patience for surprises!
I'm really worrying this pregnancy. I got this pain in my arm yesterday, I used to get it when I was on the pill on the week where you take no pills, and I get it sometimes before my period and before I go into labour. I think it's related to progesterone dropping so now I'm freaking out.
I have no hpts so I did an OPK yesterday which was a really dark positive, then I did another one this morning and it was only as dark as the control line. So I was freaking out again, then I did another one with SMU (which I'd only held for about an hour) and it was darker than ever.
I hate these early weeks, I wish I could just go to sleep and wake up at my 12 week scan.
I'm sorry your worried. If it helps I get stronger positives with SMU. I'm worried about this pregnancy too. I just had a miscarriage last month and I didn't even have a cycle before I conceived. But I have to into this pregnancy believing ill get to hold a soft wiggingly bundle at the end of it. I just have too.Quote:

I just got a phone from the nurse at my office and she said my doctor wants me to come back in for more blood work tomorrow.
:worry: :think: :confused:
katie-Did they give any indication what they were checking for? Checking out things online I think your hcg levels were right inline and if there was a problem there, I think they would have said something when they told you that #. My guess would be that it has something to do with a nutrient level being low. I am wishing you the best.
kiara swayed boy.
She said that the doctor just wants to make sure the levels keep increasing how they should be.Quote:

I just had my first doctor's appointment and they confirmed pregnancy with the urine sample. They've never given me a blood test to confirm in any of my pregnancies... She said everything looks good and cervix was nice and long. She said to come back in 2 weeks for the 6 week scan to see the HB, but the next available US was the 28th so it's closer to 3 weeks away, but I was thinking while I don't want to wait longer, it might be better as I would be crushed if it were too soon and we didn't see a HB.
By my calculations, I will be due on 10/18. I was swaying for a girl, but fell off the diet around the Holidays. I still have a couple of very weak sway factors there, but we are definitely hoping for a girl.
Hello ladies! Can I be added? I am due Oct 22 (I think) and I swayed girl.
Added:)
I have an appointment Monday morning I get my blood drawn and then ill get it done again in 48 hours. I ask her then if I could book an ultrasound around the first week of March (so between 7 and 8 weeks for me) I really want to see a viable baby with a heartbeat!!! Anyone have sickness yet? I'm just peeing more and maybe a little hungrier.
I am going for blood work on Monday instead of today. This sinus infection I have is literally taking everything out of me. The nurse told me to just rest and come in next week instead of worrying about getting in there today. I'm on antibiotics (amoxicillin) and have been for three days now, but I swear I feel worse!!!
:tissue:
Oh my gosh I could have written that! I had a terrible sore throat about two weeks back an went on antibiotics and for the first 3 days I felt worse! It took almost a week on them to feel better!Quote:

kiara- I think that it is right at 6 weeks where you can see a heartbeat on the ultrasound so I would wait until at least a couple days after.
Great to see you here Peb! And welcome ICB3!
Mommymachine and Katie, I hope you're both feeling better soon.
Kiara I had a scan at 6 weeks 1 day wit DS2 and I saw the heartbeat, but I have heard of other people having scans that early and not seeing a heartbeat. I'm considering an early scan this time, but I think I'll wait until at least 7 weeks.
I think I'm starting to feel a bit sick today. Half of me is glad because it's a good sign, and the other half is dreading the sickness ahead! It seems to be starting a week earlier with each pregnancy, 7 weeks on DS1, 6 weeks on DS2 and now 5 weeks. It was slightly less severe on DS2 than DS1 so hopefully that's a trend that will continue.
I haven't been feeling anything yet, but maybe a tad queaziness, but then I start to think it is just in my head. I hope I start "feeling" more pregnant soon to put my mind at ease. I did buy another cheapy test and the line was darker, so that made me feel better.
I am waiting til 6w 6 days til my scan. While I am anxious to get it, I think it'll be better to wait til close to 7 so I won't be disappointed if it is too soon for the HB.
Thanks Pangea!!Quote:

I'm still a bit apprehensive about it all.
Have any of you told your news yet, I don't tell until I am 22 weeks, I hide my belly as best as possible, may not be able to do that this time as I have 2 weddings coming up, one in April and one in May.
