Hello

Well i'll be the second. Just found out i'm preggie again after a m/c in march. It was so suprising and only took the test to see a BFN so i would no my AF was on it'sway....but got a BFP!!!. My partner was a little shocked as that day he hadto drive 3 hours away to get a sprem test that cost $230!!! only to have me tell him "we having a baby". I really hope this little one hangs in there. I do have a question as i have no one totalk toas we not telling anyone till 13 weeks. I getting AF pains strong is that normal?

poppy21- It's normal to have some cramps but not sharp ones.  Can you compare them to your last miscarriage?  We're they strong?  Also, is there any bleeding that is coming on with the cramps?  If they get to harsh call your doctor!  When are you due?



As for me!  I'm on my 5th pregnancy with no children.  I have had 4 miscarriages and this one seems to be going better than those did.  I tested positive on the 28th of October.  However, I tested negative on the 16th and the 19th.  I should have started around the 15-18th.  So I think that I ovulated late.  I had a miscarriage in August and had a 31 day cycle in September.  I have been told my due date is June 25, 2011 however, the doctor agrees and says since I got negative test on those two days that I concieved late and gave me a due date range from June 25-July 5th.  So, I went to the doctor on the 28th and he immediately started me on progesterone and did blood work...my progesterone came back at 2.2 or 3.2 and hcg was in the 500's.  He told me to come back on the 29th and my hcg was at 856.  Then I was called and told to come back monday and I went tuesday 11/2 and my hcg was over 3000!  Which it should have been.  That's the highest number I have got so far with any pregnancy.  I have an ultrasound and my first appointment scheduled on the 18th of November.

hi, I this is my tenth pregnancy!!!!  I have five wonderful and healthy vhildre, 4 girls and a boy and I have had 4 m/c.  I think I am due around july 10, although I havw had healthy pregnancies I am still petrifed that something will go wrong.  I too have menstrual cramps but oddly enough I dont normally get them with af.  I have my first u/s booked for next thursday and hoping to see at least a yolk sac.  I did a clearblue digital saturday 30 oct and it said 1-2 weeks and did another (Im a poas addict  lol)  wednesday 3 nov and it said 2-3 weeks so looks like hormones going the right way.

well when i had my 1st m/c i had no pain what so ever just bleeding. But no bleeding so far. When my twin sis was preggie she had the same pains so i'm just trying to not think about them. Her Dr told her it was just the hormonal change ect. Wow 10 preggies no baby well i think you will be fine with his one. i'm due 13th july. My parnter is a farmer so i'm due right in calfving season. hahah

Hi .. I am nearly 5 weeks pg after frozen IVF cycle.  We have been ttc for nearly 5 years with unexplained infertility, with only one chemical pregnancy. Since then, I've had 3 rounds of IVF, the first was unsuccessful, the 2nd I got a BFP, the bub developed nicely with strong hb (last healthy scan was at 9.5 weeks) but had a missed miscarriage diagnosed at 12 weeks, the baby measured 10 weeks, and now this is a FET and I'm due 9 July

Waiting on my 2nd beta now .. hoping it's a good number and that will be one less thing to worry about ... I hope we all have a happy stress free pregnancy!

ok .. this may be a very shortlived time on this forum as I got my hcg levels back from today and it's only gone from 201 - 293 in 4 days .. my clinic said to keep positive, that they had seen weak ones like this take off but it just makes me feel sick .. I really thought this was going to happen

Keep us posted...I feel the same way that you do at this point.  I can't seem to make it past the 5 1/2-6 week point.  I've been spotting since the 22nd of October just a spot a day no pain what so ever.  This morning I get up and wipe and much brighter but still dark.  My last betas were higher than I have had before...but all we can do at this point is pray.  I don't know anything about IVF or how it works but I'm praying that you will pull through.

Hello Everyone!

I'm currently 4wks 1day pg after TTC for five months. My EDD should be around July 14. I go to my first dr's appt on Nov 11. This is my fourth pregnancy; I have two children and 1 m/c.

With both of my other children I was diagnosed w/ gestational diabetes and I have an insufficient cervix. So, besides praying that this first trimester goes well and the baby sticks around for the entire pregnancy, I'm also hoping to carry as close to term as possible and that I don't have to go on insulin later in the pregnancy.

Hello!

I'm currently 5 weeks 2 days pg.  We were trying for a year and four months this time.  We have a 3 year old boy.  It took a year and three months for him.  We are very excited and surprized.  I was told on October 28th that I did not Ovulate this month.  I also did not get a positive OPK.  Well my body must of decided to O late this month.  I took a PT on Oct 28th and it was negative.  The doctor sent me medicine to start AF but told me to take a HPT before I start the meds. Well Nov 4th I got my BFP.  My first doctor appt is not until Dec 8.  They will do an U/S.

I have a question.  Should I go and get a blood test to confirm the pg?  The doctor said I did not need one since I had a positive HPT.

Good Luck to everyone!!!

Hi there.  My name is Amanda and I am just over 4 weeks, due date of July 15th.  I too have a history of m/c.  This is my 7th pregnancy, and I have one DS who is 9 months now.  I am nervous, but staying positive. I will be 42 when this baby was born, was almost 41 when my son was born, so a bit older.  I am also CL of the Pregnancy 35+ forum, so if there are any "old moms to be" like me, feel free to visit us there as well!  I look forward to getting to know you all and wish all of you non eventful and stress free pregnancies!

Hello all,

I'm 35 y.o., and this is my 2nd pregnancy. My first ended in miscarriage in Aug 2009. I am under the care of an RE for now. I was doing Clomid +IUI + trigger shot, and it worked the 2nd time! I'm currently 4w4d, Due Date July 12th.
I am also taking Prometrium.

I am cautiously excited...I have my first appt at 7 weeks. My first(and only) beta at 4w0d was 206. My RE doesn't do 2nd betas...strange I know:) But I'm ok with that.

My symptoms are mild twinges. I had been sick with a cold and had very sensitive nipples but that sort of went away. I am quite hungrier - no food aversions..everything sounds good to me LOL. No nausea at all...although had some earlier.. so it's still early I think to be getting sick or have nausea.

Hi everyone,

I do not know whether I should be in this group or the June 2011 group.  I had an FET on October 7th (2 day embryos)...I THINK my due date is June 28th but not sure.  I'll let you know after I see the dr. for my 8 week u/s.

I have one dd who is 21 months old and one miscarriage in September '09.

Happy 9 months to everyone on here!!

Hey to all the pregnant mummies out there,

The names Kelli and im kinda happily pregnant for the fourth time.
I have a daughter thats two and two m/cs after her. One when DD was 6 months and the last was a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in july.

Im now 6 weeks and 2/3 days and my two BETAs were 10 DPO 58 and last tuesday 1295.. Currently awaiting my 3rd blood test. I will not be having a ultrasound till the last few weeks of my first trimester because i could not deal with the decision to have a D and C or wait narturally....

I dont know if its normal to feel like im feeling which is half scared and half anticapating whats going to happen as im deadly scared it will result in two missed miscarriages...
I have had some pinkish coloured CM? only 3 times on 3 diffrent days and ahve no idea what it means as i havnt had any sex since the spotting started..

So i believe im due on the 2nd of june.. going by my LMP!!!

Hi, so I've taken two pregnancy tests so far (4 days apart) and they both say "pregnant"! I'm thinking I'm around 4 weeks and 3 days at this point. We have a smart/wonderful/handsome 5 year old son. My husband and I have been TTC for over a year now; we got pregnant but had a m/c in August of this year at 9 weeks, found out at the first OB visit at 9 weeks. This will be my third pregnancy and we are hoping/praying for this pregnancy/baby to be as healthy as our first.

Congratulations to all!

To Kelliebubba, I am right there with you on the half scared half anticipation! I have to keep talking myself out of going crazy! Good luck to all!!!

Hi everyone. This is my 4th pregnancy - I have a 5 year old and a 4 year old and had one m/c between them. I had a mirena IUD removed August 23rd, 2010 had 1st AF on Sept 5th, 2nd AF on Oct 3rd and then got my BFP 1/Nov/10 at 10 dpo ( very very faint positive). Pee'd on a stick again at 11 dpo, 13 dpo and 15 dpo also and the line got a little darker each time which made me happy! Pregnancy confirmed with Bl test this week. Due July 15th, 2011. So far feeling really super tired and sore sensitiive boobs. Occasionally I feel a bit off coloured this week but no bad morning sickness yet which I suffered with both my kids ( but not the m/c). I am 5 weeks tomorrow so there's a long way to go!

I am really happy/ excited but completely petrified and nervous at the same time. My midwife does not do betas till 6/7 weeks and will have an untrasound around 7/8 weeks to check heartbeat etc and check there is only 1 ( yikes!)

Hope you all have a great 9 mths!!

Hello ladies and hi Tash!!!  I thought I'd join the July 2011 group!  I found out on November 8th (9dpo) that I am pregnant!  I had an IUD removed (after 3 yrs) on Aug. 18th - so I was very lucky to get pregnant so quickly!  This is my 2nd pregnancy.  We have a 3 yr old son.  So nice to meet all you ladies and hear your stories of your journeys to conceiving! I go see my Midwife this coming Wednesday for my first appointment!  

Happy 9 Months to you all!
