Can we do a recent(ish) BFP check in?

[coribelle26]

I've lost track of all the TTTC BFPs in the last couple of months! I also post on the mobile site and can't see sigs, plus I know a lot of us don't have tickers anyway.

AND other paranoids like me may be reluctant to post in the due date sticky. (I'll do it after I get past the point of my last loss, so about 3 more weeks.)

SO. Pregnants. Show yourselves, and how far along are you?

Me. 10 weeks 4 days. Had the tiniest amount of spotting yesterday and freaked the fuck out but I think it was from not-very-carefully inserting my Crinone the night before. (That happened once a couple of weeks ago too.) NT scan on 9/17 at 12 weeks/1 day, next appointment and heartbeat check on 10/3 at 14 weeks/3 days. And THAT is when I may actually start to believe this is happening. Maybe.

[whiskeyandwine]

I'm so happy you posted this!

Pregnant as of Thursday. Freaking right out. Apparently due in mid-May, but I do not plan to intro anywhere like GotPreg right away or announce anywhere. 

My first beta was yesterday and was good, my follow up is tomorrow. 

But I kind of can't believe this is really happening, and don't think I will feel better until AT LEAST my first u/s. At least. 

[krystee]

I am 10w tomorrow. I still can't believe it's happening most days! Neither one of us can keep a secret and both of us were so excited that basically the whole world knows as of this week, and half the world knew earlier than that. Our parents are over the moon, and it is so cute to see their happiness.

[coribelle26]

I probably shouldn't have done this on a weekend....I summon thee, other first tri-ers!!

(Pretty damn excited for the two I do have as company in here though!)

[krystee]

whiskeyandwine we can have a baby GTG in Chicago next May!

[whiskeyandwine]

You guys. ALL I can think about is being pregnant. Literally. I am thinking about it or sleeping. 

This is not normal, right? What am I supposed to do to stop this?

[coribelle26]

For me that has gotten better. It helps that work has been crazy busy! On days when I'm not spotting or anything I can ALMOST forget I'm pregnant. Almost. And those days are easier, lol.

Also just slipping in here that I'm only 5 hours from Chicago...

[whiskeyandwine]

Yes yes yes to the GTG! 

And coribelle26 - I think it would be better if I were working today. I really do. I have a beta tomorrow and then I'm planning to go do something. Anything. Anything other than be home all day! 

[King26]

I will be 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow. My first ultrasound is Tuesday and I'm freaking out about it. It doesn't seem real yet. We haven't told anyone IRL and don't plan on it until I'm 12 weeks (except my parents who we will tell earlier). I also think about it constantly.

I am so glad to hear I'm not the only one. lol. 

Good luck at the u/s - keep us posted!

Let me try, feistypants and nmosrob and AutumnRose25

[coribelle26]

We are making excellent progress in my list of favorites getting their BFPs but there are still more to go!

[whiskeyandwine]

Monica Geller - Come BFP chat with us!

IT'S TOTALLY ALL ABOUT YOU (AND YOUR BAAAABY!!!) and you should have! So freaking exciting!

[Monica Geller]

HEY! GIRLS!! I try to check in here a couple times a week, but kinda like whiskeyandwine was saying, I have a lot of pregnant stuff on my mind and I don't want to accidentally post something that would upset people here! I'm trying to keep up with all of you though! 

ETA: by "upset" I mean that I might say something stupid and people will think I'm dumb and then call me out and then I will feel bad... clearly I've gotten emotional in the past 10 weeks!


I'm 11 weeks tomorrow! We've told most of our families and a few of our friends, but otherwise we're keeping it kinda quiet right now. I also am having trouble believing it's all real. I'll probably believe it more at the next u/s. We have the NT scan at 12 weeks.  Overall I'm feeling okay; SUPER tired. I go to work, I come home, eat dinner, and am usually in bed by 7:30/8:00.  So I'm not really posting a ton either. I miss summer where I could check in and post any time of the day



I'm so excited for the new BFPs!! 

[coribelle26]

Holy crap Monica, 11 weeks already!? Was it you who waited forever and a day for your beta? I think this time would have gone faster for me if I hadn't found out I was pregnant like 4 hours after it must have implanted, lol.

 I had to wait til like 20dpo for my beta and then it was so high that they decided they didn't need a 2nd and I had to wait til 8w for an u/s.  And then, my ob was satisfied with the RE's care that I haven't had anything else til week 12.  I find myself a little jealous of people who have had multiple u/s. I just want to see the baby and/or hear the heartbeat again! Although my work pants are starting to get a little snug, so I hope that means everything's continuing to develop as expected!

OMG YES. 

lol. 

I immediately went to a due date calculator and it was like, "You're four weeks pregnant!" And I was like, "OMG who the H knows this soon?!" 

The next 8 weeks are going to creeeeeeeeeeeeep by I think.

Lol I think you were still further than me! I don't know for sure since we were only using Clomid and I was half-assed tracking, but I really think I was only 10 DPO. If you remember my first beta was SEVENTEEN. THAT'S LIKE NOT EVEN PREGNANT.

[whiskeyandwine]

Lol, Ok, I don't remember your first beta being that low! You DID know early! 

I am so frustrated because all the websites are like, "At four weeks, a HPT *may* work!" and I'm like, "MAYBE I AM FURTHER!" because it worked immediately. But. You know. IUI. I am 100% sure how far along I am. 

I spent all day on my couch. I will NOT do this to myself again tomorrow. haa.

[coribelle26]

I researched FRER sensitivity and apparently they can pick up an HCG level of like 8. So that had to be what mine was when I took the home test (on either CD 28 or 29, I can't remember). It was pretty light! And I didn't even bother with a digital for several days.

I am bracing myself for the next month being the slowest of my life. But I'm hoping that the beginning of the semester, plus the fact that I'm taking on a new group of students, plus the fact that I enjoy the fall and that makes the time go, will help mitigate a little.

We've had no real system for who we're telling and who we're not. I'm enough of a drinker that everyone we see regularly already knows because it was just easier that way. I have no idea what extended family knows because I'm sure our parents have told people but I don't know who. And as far as a Facebook announcement we've talked about only doing one once we know what it is. When that finally happens there will be like one poorly-connected person who's actually surprised, lol.

This has made the time go much faster for me, at least in my head. The beginning of the school year is so busy and by the end of the day I'm so tired that I just go to bed. This has made me less cognizant of the time!

coribelle26 can I ask where you are located? I have a feeling we're close-ish to each other, unless I'm confusing you with someone else. You can PM if you'd rather. I'm in the center of the Buckeye State!

Uh oh I think we are sports rivals! Luckily I don't really care much about that, lol. I'm in suburban Detroit. You are totally in the Chicago gtg range too! Actually you'd probably be a good central meeting place.

LOL! I don't care enough about sports rivals either!  I watch the games, but I don't get the "PASSION" that some people have :?


I am in range for a Chicago gtg! Actually, one of my IRL besties lives there and I've been there many times.

AutumnRose25 thank you for making me feel less weird about announcing early! We did it early too and the announcement featured our two dogs.(just found it and pasted it above. Can't figure out how to block my last name on the phone, so please don't come to my house and kill me. But feel free to friend me on Facebook!)

My beta was early too. It was 12 DPO if I remember right. Maybe 11. I was so worried when all of you had such high betas and mine was 36. I feel like the time until we saw the heartbeat took forever, but the past three weeks have flown by. I am excited for my first OB appointment on Friday, but I will miss the weekly ultrasounds at the RE.
