New BFP people come out come out!

[King26]

I know there are 4 or 5 of you in the last 2 weeks! Come in here and let us know how you are doing, when beta and or ultrasound is!

[ivy]

You're sweet to start this, King26 <3

My second beta came in with a 24 hour doubling time so we're moving right along. Last beta is next Tuesday then I would assume an ultrasound a week later.

I'm exhausted and a little queasy and HUNGRY. I read back through the archives from my first pregnancy, and so far things are about the same as last time.

Hope I'm not missing anyone!

[pooh8402]

Thanks for the callout!

I got my BFP at home 2 days ago, at 7dp5dt. I'm awaiting results of my beta, which was drawn this morning.

I'm exhausted and definitely queasy already. I can't stop eating.

NO OHSS SYMPTOMS! So excited about that! Such a huge change from last time.

Eta: first beta is 264.

[seeyalater52]

Thanks for the tag!

My first beta is tomorrow. I'm 8dp5dt today... 3w6d pregnant.

I am a little queasy and so, so tired. I freaked myself out this morning by taking another test and it came up only about as dark as the one I took yesterday. I know that doesn't mean much of anything, especially two days in a row but I would have loved to see it get darker! My original line was pretty good, though, so I guess I can't complain. I also think my FMU was a little more diluted but of course at this stage everything is frightening. I can't wait to have beta results in hand.

[cherryvalance]

Thanks, guys!

First ultrasound is tomorrow. I'm sick with anxiety.

A bunch of people have mentioned they had symptoms way earlier with #2, and that seems to be the case with me. My beta was higher than with DS, so I'm guessing that's contributing to my queasiness. Also exhausted and having the same stretching pain in my pelvis.

[seeyalater52]

I am also having quite a bit of cramping. It was stronger earlier this week, Monday-Wed especially, and it's calmed down a little. Kind of feels like period cramps but not very strong ones? I'm not bleeding or spotting at all. I've never been pregnant before so everything feels weird and different and scary.

So much good luck for the ultrasound tomorrow. <3

I tested for this pregnancy in May with wondfos that had expiration dates in June. Not only did the lines not get darker, but they were barely there everyday. It was so stressful, even though I kept telling myself that I knew better than to put any stock in the darkness of HPT lines. But logically knowing better doesn't matter when it's something this important - you want everything to go perfectly.

Normal. I've been crampy too, and I was crampy with my first as well.

<3 This makes me feel so much better. Google is not a helpful place to look with this particular symptom. 

cactuscookie that's exactly it! I totally know better than to compare the lines, but it's impossible not to do it. Just trying to stay as calm as possible and hope that poppyseed is nestled in there firmly. We are calling it "blaston" (as in: no one sticks like blast-on).   Thanks for sharing about your own weird line experience!

Same, seeyalater52. There's a lot going on in there! 

[ivy]

Good luck tomorrow, cherryvalance. Looking forward to hearing your good news after the appt

[cherryvalance]

seeyalater52, I hope tomorrow is a great day for both of us!

Also, I had a ton of cramping with D'S, and am having it off and on now. It is such a mindfuck, but normal. Drink a lot, too--mine got worse as my pregnancy progressed whenever I wasn't drinking enough.

[nmosrob]

Wow, congrats everyone!

[thoseareradishes]

Congrats and welcome everyone!!

Wait, are you pregnant, cactuscookie?

ETA: whoops, I didn’t see the other post. ❤️

[King26]

Nothing like a baby boom! Congrats ladies!!

[katespade]

I’ve been lurking since my BFP but haven’t jumped in and started posting yet, so I guess this is as good a time as any!

BFP on 5/4 thanks to a medicated cycle with letrozole and progesterone (and weekly acupuncture). I’m 13 weeks today, EDD 1/10/19.

I had my NT scan with MFM last week, and found out I have a mild uterine septum. They’re hopeful that it won’t impact the pregnancy, but MFM will be doing my anatomy scan and I’ll have an extra growth scan at 32 weeks. We also got to hear baby’s heartbeat for the first time at my regular OB appt this week.

We got NIPT results on Tuesday. Everything came back healthy/normal, and baby is a girl.❤️

[cherryvalance]

I had really bad cramping last night for about 20 minutes or so and some blood tinged mucus this morning.

I'm guessing I'm out and we won't get great news today, so I'm just trying to prepare myself.

[seeyalater52]

I’m so sorry you’re worried cherryvalance. I hope all goes well today.

My FRER is not any darker today. It’s not darker than yesterday or Wednesday. I know it could mean nothing but it makes me very worried it’s a chemical pregnancy. Beta is today.

[ivy]

Keeping my fingers crossed for good news today cherryvalance and seeyalater52

[cherryvalance]

Thanks, guys. Our appointment is at 8:30, so we'll know soon enough.

seeyalater52, this is ironic coming from me, but try not to worry. I don't think FRERs ever really showed line progression for me, only Wondfos. I'm hoping you get a beautiful beta that puts your mind at ease!

[claireasmud]

Thanks ivy!
I'm 8w1d today. We did IVF with PGS. I had an u/s at 7w and all looked good. I go in again on Tuesday for one more u/s with my RE and then I'm scheduled with my OB the week after that. I'm a ball of nerves, I can hardly be excited My last pregnancy ended at 9 weeks in a MMC after seeing the hb, so I'm feeling really cautious. I wish I could just be happy and excited, but past history and generalized anxiety disorder have other ideas

[scm1011]

I love this baby boom! H&H 9 months to everyone

Thinking good thoughts for you, cherryvalance. I had some strong cramping and spotting in 1st tri with DS, I hope its nothing.

[cherryvalance]

Monitoring ran over an entire hour. As of 9:40, we were still waiting for a room. We had to leave to get DS a snack and give him a breather. I'm livid.

If this cycle didn't work, I'm going to now have to give serious thought to what we do with our 6 on ice because this practice has gone way downhill in 2 years.

I'm thinking of you.  I'm holding out hope for you, I had bleeding and cramping with both pregnancies between weeks 6&7.  One of these resulted in my daughter so I am hoping the same hold true for you.

[belovedbride07]

Holy cow, so many! Congratulations, everyone!

I’m so frustrated for you. That is so annoying! Are you still waiting or do you have to go back another time?

That's enraging. So what happens now? Did you reschedule or are you still waiting?

For what it's worth, I had spotting with my first pregnancy too.
