Hi babyxx congratulations!
When do you get your blood results back?
I've just got home from having mine done. Will get results tomorrow.
HI girls!
I'm so happy that I can join! I got a BFP this morning and reckon I am due around September 23rd or thereabouts, not exactly sure yet! Congrats to everyone and looking forward to sharing this journey with you! Hoping we all get our pink bundles!
Wow!! A new due date thread congrats ladies X
So has anyone got any symptoms yet? I've been a bit Crampy and really tired but nothing major so far!
Congratulations on the new BFP's :)
No symptoms so far here apart from oily skin, but usually don't have any symptoms until around 6 weeks when I'll wake up feeling like I've been hit by a truck so enjoying feeling good while I can!
Got my 17dpo blood test results back hcg was 284 (no wonder the frer was instantly positive 9 hours before these bloods!) And progesterone was 90 which in Australian values is the upper end of normal. My ob said several times that the level was excellent but I'm still shocked because every pregnancy so far my progesterone has been low and I've required supplements to keep the pregnancies going. Shocked that on pregnancy #8 my body may have finally done it right on its own!
Babyxx have you got your blood results back yet?
Have my first ob appointment booked for Feb 16.
Hi girls!
All congratolations on your BFP!
I found out this afternoon that i have BFP.
I'm due 24 september!
My boobs are killing me, have to pee all day and than really have to run to arive in time to the toilet LOL. Nausea and fatique too.
Still can't believe it! Hope we got our pink bundlles!
How are you ladies feeling? Besides Keepthefaith, is anyone else going to find out early? Who is going to stay team yellow?

I don't know whether to find out or not. We weren't going to with dd but thought we saw the 3 lines at the morphology scan so caved and found out at a 4d scan at 27 weeks. Then found out at 15 weeks with both the boys because they were to eager to show off their tackle lol. This time I don't know, in a way knowing ASAP will be easier than my daughter getting her hopes up for a sister for months only to be let down but in another way if it is a girl I can only imagine how excited she will be to have that anticipation confirmed at delivery. So far I'm thinking hubby and I might find out in secret, if it's a boy we'll confess to avoid raised hopes but if it is a girl we'll keep it to ourselves until delivery.
still have awhile to decide as we're not even announcing the pregnancy until easter at 16.5 weeks.
I wanna do an early scan at 14 weeks to find out. I'm too curieus, i have to know what it is.
I think I might have got a positive pregnancy test this morning. I guess 0-7 really is possible! I think it is more likely than 0+4. Those are the only two options. I will take another test tomorrow to make sure, but the one this morning was there for sure. I would be due September 29th.
Could you send me some of your super fertile, baby dust? At this point, I'll take blue or pink! Although DH would prefer pink 😘!Quote:

I feel so bad though. Not about another baby. We wanted a 6th one and timing doesn't really matter. It is just that I feel bad about people who have been trying so long. My SIL has been trying for almost a year for her 3rd. How am I suppose to tell her? Sorry, I just need a bit of advice. I am happy. Really I am. I am just worried about her a lot.
I went through that in November. I got pregnant with #3 and was dreading telling my sister, they have been ttc #2 for over a year. I ended up loosing the baby in December and two weeks later she had a positive pregnancy test and then she was dreading telling me. Tables got turned on me:/. Not going to lie, it's pretty bittersweet. I'm over the moon happy for them but feel cheated that the baby I lost never had anyone but me to get excited about it, if that makes since.
I find I can only text baby talk with my sister now, on the phone or in person is just to difficult still. So just try to not be over the top excited around your sil. Hopefully her time comes and you two can be belly buddies:)
Wow, that's awesome! Maybe you O'd early or late? Were you temping or just using opks?Quote:

Congrats! My o-7 daughter is nearly 9yo, so definitely possible! And my cycle was being followed by fertility specialists so o was confirmed 7days after we dtd.
Been a nervous few days for me. After my first lot of bloods coming back awesome my second lot was not so great. Hcg was fine that had more than doubled in 47hours but my progesterone had dropped. It was still at quite a high level but we weren't sure if we'd just caught it at the bottom of its natural peak/trough cycle or if my body wasn't maintaining the levels needed and I'd need to start supplements again. Had bloods done again yesterday morning and my Dr's midwife called today to tell me the results were excellent! Even higher than the first one so it was just the natural pattern we saw, yay!! So nothing else for me until my booking in appointment on Feb 16. Feels so strange not needing more bloods and meds and early scans when I've needed them with all the others. Although I just keep telling myself that this is what my first pregnancy was like and all the extra stuff was just precautions after all the miscarriages whereas the boys we would have lost without all the extras so hopefully this one ends just like my first with a healthy full term baby girl!!
So glad you shared this with me. I have been feeling like such a freak show! The internet says I had a 2% chance of conceiving. I don't know if it will stick though. The test seems a bit lighter today. Time will tell.Quote:

Congrats Mommymachine!
I never stayed team green. I can't wait so long to finf out LOL. But i like the idea though to not know it. If this whole girl-thing wasn't such an issue for me than i would like to stay team green.
I'm so moody all day, it's just horrible! Can't stand annybody to ask me a thousand things like my boys are really good at. So i took my dog and went for a walk to calm down.
I jumped in here too soon I think.. Negative tests now and spotting for the last two days. If AF arrives (as I am sure it will) then I wish you ladies a healthy happy 9 months!
Just took the plunge and posted my sway attempt, eek seems more official now! Hope haven't jinxed myself ...................
Oh no mommymachine! What brand of tests have you been using? Are they the same tests you got the positives with?
I'm sure your fine posing your sway keep the faith. I never posted my sway from October and ended up loosing the baby, maybe I should have posted it:/
So sorry mommymachine....
I'm gonna look at your sway Keepthefaith!
I will post it too after my ultrasound.
Good luck Dutchgirl, Ive decided not to go for a scan until I get the Harmony test at 10 weeks. I am too nervous to go before that! Really hoping haven't jinxed myself posting my sway!
Looks pretty quiet in here. I am joining in. Got my bfp a week ago and the tests are nice and dark today. Thinking my due date is october 5th.
I have never been so anxious in my life. Every twinge or ache drives me crazy. I am sooooo scared of losing this pregnancy like the last three i had.
I had zero sway..totally prepared for boy. Symptom wise I am starting to feel sicker and my boobs hurt and i am very tired. Pretty typical stuff. Hope to be joined by more ladies soon!!
Hi Rosie, congrats on your bfp!!
How is everyone??
Have had another nervous week here, had bloods on wednesday last week which showed my progesterone levels were down so had to start pessaries again, another blood test friday which showed that my progesterone was holding steady. First pessary was only about 8 hours before Friday's test and level was well in safe range so the pessaries may not really have been necessary but my dr is very cautious and given my history it does give me peace of mind.
Then on Sunday hubby and I DTD for the first time since the bfp and wouldnt you know it I've been spotting ever since. Its 95% brown with only the occasional tiny pinky/red steak but of course I started preparing myself for the worst.
Monday/Tuesday were horrible stressful waiting days although my m/s started to really kick in so was telling myself that was a good sign.
But yesterday I had another blood test to check on my progesterone and then my first scan!! There was my little blob, heart flickering away at 120bpm, measuring 0.69cm long (6+3wks 2 days behind lmp dates) happy and healthy as far as you can tell at this point :bigsmile: was measuring 2 days behind my lmp dates but I know that doesnt mean much at this point because the measurement is so tiny a day or two either side is normal. Felt the biggest sense of relief ever! And the sonographer couldnt find any cause for the spotting so looks like its harmless.
I noticed she was holding the probe slightly left of midline and angled slightly towards left as well. Ever since about 10dpo Ive had twinges in a very distinct spot high just left of centre so I asked her if thats where the baby was implanted and explained about the twinges (but secretly hoping it was there and there is something to ramzi's theory!) Her response was "Hmm not reaallly, I'm preettty much scanning on the midline" she suggested the twinges were probably caused by the side I ovulated on but when she checked my ovaries she said she couldnt see anything on either of them to indicate the side of ovulation (although I felt it was my left at the time). At the end she concluded that she hadnt seen anything else that she thought would cause twinges so prehaps it is bub. So fingers crossed now there is something to ramzi's theory as I definatley feel twinges just left of midline and scan showed the yolk sac very clearly on left of baby in sac (sonographer pointed that out). Either way I came out of the scan beaming with relief that I definatley am :pregnant:, there is just one and it is right where its supposed to be at the top of the uterus, preeettty much midline but also suddenly a very strong sense that this is my :babyf:
So now just awaiting a call from my dr to let me know yesterdays blood result and then wait 2.5 weeks until my booking in appointment when I get to see my bub again.
I get to join:) October 7th is my due date. But I was induced for my last 2 at 39 weeks because of size;) ds3 was 10 lbs 5 oz even a week early!
Hoping this baby is healthy and I can relax and enjoy.
Missy-that is so exciting you got to see baby's heartbeat! I hope your bleeding goes away so you can be worry free
Rosie- when will you see the dr?

Missy...hard to have worries...hope you can relax soon!!
Queen...i haven't even called yet to make an appointment. I feel nervous about it. I got my positive hpt so soon that it hadnt crossed my mind to call yet. I am wondering if they will scan me a few times since I have had three losses including a missed miscarriage. I am terrified of it happening again.
Rosie, I don't plan to call for awhile. I figure they can't do anything to stop a mc(unless it is a progesterone issue, right). I guess they would maybe give me an early ultrasound. But to be quite frank I am still paying on the 4 ultrasounds I had to have with my loss! I would rather wait. FX we all have healthy sticky baby's:-D and this is nothing but a conversation to have.

Nothing wrong with waiting! I am just wondering if I am not supposed to since I had 3 losses. I just don't want to jinx it ya know? I think like atomic said though that if the pregnancy is healthy it will produce enough progesterone so I wouldn't worry about that factor.
As someone who's had lots of losses I would call ASAP and get a blood test. Issues with progesterone don't mean the pregnancy is not healthy. It is up to your body to produce the progesterone for the first 7 weeks after that the placenta begins to form and by 10 weeks the placenta should be taking over progesterone production. My Dr says that if there is an issue with the pregnancy this is when it will fail. But you can have a healthy pregnancy which doesn't get a chance to develop properly if your body fails to provide adequate progesterone early on. This is my issue. If I didn't have all my early tests and supps there is a good chance I still wouldn't have had a baby to take home. So please call your Dr ASAP so they can do whatever is necessary to ensure a sticky healthy pregnancy.
Queen - I too have big babies. My 2nd was induced at 38wks due to size but ended up only being 7lb11oz but my 3rd came a month early at 8lb2oz so pretty nervous what this one will be. But I guess that's my fault for choosing to breed with a man who's 6ft3 and was 10lb at birth.
I just assume my problem isnt progesterone related as I had a missed miscarriage which means I had progesterone that was so high it wouldnt release the bad pregnancy. I will still call in the morning and see if they want to see me.
