Due September 3. I got my first very faint BFP at bedtime 7DPO (I do NFP so dates are exact). It continued to get darker on tests very quickly. My first beta level at 9DPO was 37. At 12DPO (the morning of Christmas Eve) my beta level came back at 297. Praying for a sticky pink baby (or two). I've suffered multiple miscarriages due to a blood clotting disorder so I'm still in the paranoid stage.

Hi and welcome Bunnygirl! It's nice to have some company :). I'll update the first post! I'm very sorry for your losses and sending super sticky pink dust your way :). Will you be finding out gender/s?
I'm not sure yet. We may find out but not tell anyone.
How are you feeling Bunnygirl? I just booked my dating scan for the 19th January! Can't wait! Have you booked yours?
So far I'm feeling mostly okay, some nausea, vomited a few times. Mainly I just have a sinus cold I'm trying to shake that's causing me the most trouble. I have my first scan on the 11th for viability and to start my Lovenox injections. I've had 3 beta draws before they'd schedule (levels need to be over 1500 to schedule a scan) and my levels are great.
9DPO: 37
12DPO: 297
16DPO: 3514
Great news about your levels! Sorry to hear about your sinus cold, hope you shake it sooner than later. We're going to have four additions to our group :) all posted bfps the last two days!
Yay! I hate when I'm due at the beginning of the month and all the groups are so dead initially. It's better when more people finally join and more conversation happens.
Pbn3- I think you can add me. Hopefully!!!
Swayed girl, due September 8 per babycenter but dr may change that. I'm thinking of waiting till delivery to find out sex but haven't discussed with hubby.

Hi dpike!!! Added you! We are all pink swayers so far lol!
Hi there! I'm due September 2nd, swayed blue, and will definitely be finding out what we're having as soon as we can haha :)
Hi and welcome RainandSnow!!!
Awesome to have a blue swayer join in and hope there's lots more to come!.
Has anyone picked names yet, or am I the only weirdo? I have two girl names picked out already. LOL

Hi and welcome goodmom!! Are you finding out gender or staying team green?
I have only a couple baby names going through my head..... haven't given it much thought yet lol
Can the frequent urination already have started!!?? Three times during the night I had to get up and go!! Its funny how you dont forget but you forget if you get what I mean?
Hey girls, I'm joining you! :)
I have no idea when my due date is (as my bfp cycle was really long and weird) but probably early September, let's say 9th. I hope I can get a dating scan. At how many weeks they usually do those?
And swayed for girl. Haven't decided if we are finding out or not. Probably we will, I would love to be team green though but don't know if I can :)

Goodluck everyone xx...
Hi 2xblue!!! Great to see you here! I'm having my dating scan done at 7 weeks :)
Did a frer this morning and it's getting darker :)
Attachment 29127
Lovely line 2xblue! I've got one test left but I'm trying to hold out. When I did my 14 and 15 dpo tests the test line was dark but still not as dark as the control line. I just want to see it super dark so trying to wait until Thursday :) but I may end up doing it on Sunday which will be 20dpo.
How did you all find it when you found out your pregnant and you could stop your diet? I almost cried at the store yesterday when I realized all the things I could eat lol! I did pretty strict LE diet for 6 months and god it feels good to eat anything I want or anytime I want. Last night I couldn't sleep straight away and felt little hungry and it was so nice to be able to eat :)
I stopped the diet fully the cycle I got my bfp. I'd been strict le diet and vegetarian March to August and then from af - o strict le and relaxed in the 2ww from September to November. Went off diet as in didn't count any nutritional intake but still tried not to go overboard. I'm still trying not to overindulge the couple times I did made my tummy really hard and sore lol! I must say I'm enjoying my meat again lol, I started having it again during my relaxed 2ww's. I honestly think I'll be having a boy as when I fell pregnant my diet was almost exactly what it was when I conceived my 2 boys but that's all good :) I'd rather be pregnant with my last baby and have him be a boy than not pregnant at all!
I'm not even worried about gender now so I feel lucky in that regard, my worry has now turned to having a good scan result at 7 weeks lol! There will always be something to stress about :)
I just realised I may sound like I don't understand GD but I truly do! I ached for a girl so badly for the first six months of swaying and tried so hard not to jeapodize my chances by blowing diet and one attempt. It wasnt until cycle 7 was another bfn cycle that I realised I no longer cared and felt time slipping away from me. If I'd fallen pregnant during that first six months and got an opposite I know I would've been somewhat devasted. That's what I mean about feeling lucky that I no longer care :) Doesn't mean I wont be sad about never having a daughter it just means I wont be devasted to hear blue :) Also being 37 and dh 44 my focus is now more on having a healthy baby as opposed to if I was younger. It took a long time to come to this realisation. In saying all this I really hope we all get what we swayed for but I'll be happy to be the one that gets an opposite :) hope this all makes sense lol!
Pbn, I totally understand you. You were on the diet a very long time and probably if I didn't get pregnant in few months from now on I would probably gone on relaxed diet aswell...
I love to hear you don't care about the gender that much anymore. That's a good place to be in. I really want a girl so bad and I need to start preparing myself to hear boy. But I truly know I will love a third boy as much as much as my other boys. My friend is pregnant with their third and it's a girl. They have two boys. She will have a babyshower in two weeks time and I'm little scared to go there. I am going but I think it will be hard to see all those lovely pink things. But also I'm very happy for them. Mixed emotions you know.
In the end all that matters is that baby is healthy. Our first baby had trisomy and those times were really difficult on us. That's why I feel so guilty sometimes wanting a girl so bad...
Within days of my positive pregnancy test I was craving proteins and fats so intensely. I hadn't been doing a particularly food-strict LE diet, but I dramatically reduced my intake of proteins and fats (I'm normally content to eat meat, cheese, and milk all day every day), cut back on calories, skipped breakfast most days, and dropped quite a bit of weight. I ended up dropping roughly 20 lb since August, although I've since gained about 5 lb back in the two weeks since my BFP and me feeling constantly starved. That's tapered off in the last few days though. We didn't do anything with respect to timing as we've found I don't seem to get pregnant without having sex the day before O.
Has anyone else had their beta levels drawn yet this pregnancy? I've had mine drawn at 9DPO, 12DPO, and 16DPO. Since they were over 1500 on the last draw they scheduled my ultrasound (1/11) and aren't doing anymore checking of my levels.
I have 1 more pregnancy test to take. I've only taken 2 and will probably take another tomorrow. I'm at my parents house with the kids so I've had to be very sneaky. I just snuck out to get prenatal sand have had eggs every morning. I'm so excited to be off the diet. I can't wait to fog rickety shopping!!!
So I haven't told DH yet. Act. We been gone since I found out. Any cute ideas on how to tell him when I get home? I thought about a chalkboard sign in the kitchen or putting the kids handprints on a paper a putting a heart for #3 and due date.
I tried to run yesterday but took it slow. Holy moly the amount of ewcm that came out. Also I've already had some morning sickness in the am. Just feel off, no throwing up yet. My bed friend just looked at me and knew, I can't believe my mom hasn't realized. She did notice the acne, my face is horrible since the start of the 2ww.
Pbn-I'm so glad you are separated from GD. I was upset when we found out ds2 was a boy but ok when he was born. I'm sure I'd do the same now so that is why I'm thinking of waiting. If I have a baby in hands, boy or girl, I'll be ok.
2xblue-I am so sorry to hear about your first baby. I can't even imagine. No need to feel guilty though, you've been through a lot.
My friend just had a stillborn baby and that makes me really scared. It has made her crazy and it's only been 6 months and she's trying again. I don't think she's emotionally ready but I don't know if she ever will be until she gets a child. So sad! I'll def. get every test possible.
I haven't even called the dr yet. I'll do that next week. I'm sure I'll get a dating scan at 7-8 weeks.

2xblue I'm sorry about your first baby :( don't feel guilty for wanting one gender more than the other, its human nature to want what we dont have :)
Bunnygirl I have my first doc appointment on Thursday so I'm assuming they'll order bloodwork. Unfortunately my family gp is on annual leave so I have to go to a random doctor for my initial appointment and to get my referral for my dating scan. But happily I can start seeing my ob then. They've let me start seeing her at 8 weeks intead of 12 weeks :)
Dpike I love the idea of the hand prints and heart! Or maybe you can use your last pregnancy test somehow - maybe tape it inside the heart pic?
I know I don't have my bfp yet but I really hope this month I can join this group.. Going to follow you all!!
Pinkin I really hope to see you here !! Did af end up showing?
No but it on its way for sure! Neg test last night
How many dpo are you?
12 dpo today!! Roll on AF!!! cant wait to get started ttc again
Good luck Pinkin!

Dpike, did you do another test? I did a cheap one today and it's getting nicely darker :) Did you tell your DH and if so how did you do it? I really wanted to surprise my dh doing someting special but DH knew I was going to test so couldn't really surprise him that way :)
Pinkin, hopefully you will join us soon!!
Thank you Pbn and dpike. It was really difficult and after that I have always been scared when pregnant that something is wrong with the baby. Next week I will call and ask about NIPT. I think I can have it for free due to our history. I really hope so! I really want to know that the baby is healthy. I've been thinking maybe ask to write the gender in a piece of paper and put in an envelope and that way we can open it when we want to. Or maybe we won't open it ;) But I think I couldn't do that if I knew it was written in there.
Have you girls told anyone else than dh you are pregnant? I haven't. We usually have told quite late, after the first scan around 12 weeks. I would love to tell my mom earlier but habe to think about it. Been also thinking about the cute ways to announce it. Pinterest has alot of brilliant ideas!
