kmcarino: CONGRATS on your BFP!!! hopefully we'll all be on here together for the next nine months!!! good luck on your third beta!! i agree with you, i'm awaiting my ultrasound as well, and will "hopefully" be able to breath a little easier at that time! keep us updated! : )
Hi everyone! I am so glad to be here with you...this is exciting and nerve wrecking all at once. I wanted to share my symptoms. I am tired most of the time, I am nauseous and queasy but not all the time. I am definitely more hungry than usual and I don't feel good until I eat something, then I feel much better. My back isn't botherine me, at least not yet. I really haven't had any cramps since I was 8dpiui, 13dpiui and 14dpiui so I hope everything is ok. We all worry until we see the ultrasound. I did not feel bloated until today. My boobs aren't sore, just a little sensitive. i remember with my last pregnancy my boobs were not sore at the beginning but were very sore at 6 weeks. I go in for my third beta tomorrow morning. Everyone enjoy their BFPs!
Ladies-
I want to encourage you to invite as many people as possible to your community when you see new BFPs and you know they're due this month! I will also send them your way from the Pregnancy 18-34 Forum so we can build your community here.
Congrats!

This is my first time on the suppositories. I am sooo anxious for all of us. I am hopeful that we will at least see the gestational sac on the US. I will only be 5w4d at that point. I just hope things are in the right spot. I won't mind the waiting once I know that things are o.k.
I am on the progesterone suppositories as well.. and we have done them for over a year each cycle.. but one time i thought i had had enough of those, so i switched to the injections.. OOOUCH! they are intramuscular..we ended up getting pregnant.. and loosing it, but my bum was SO sore... it had knots all over it i could barely sit/lay or anything, so i happily went back to the suppositories!! : ) but hopefully we'll make it to the 10 week point where we can come off them all together! : ) i agree the time will go slowly.. but as long as we stay pregnant i don't care either way!! i'm defintely super paranoid at all times that i'm about to miscarry.. lots and lots of prayers for everyone! : )
rachjas- never mind! i see you are on progesterone suppositories- sorry! LOL! i take prometrium, but i take the pills. i'm still LMAO!
oh cool so you are only a couple days behind bny and i ! i have been having bad lower back pain just in the last week. its so scary cause i had it when i mc last 2 times. but i think (hopefully) everything is ok. i go back fri to check hcg levels checked again. then ultrasound when numbers get high enough. i wouldnt worry if i were you. your numbers are good! what suppositories do you take? you mean for constipation? i dont know how we are going to pass the time! we will all just have to pray or each other!
I have been having cramping since last Friday, the day of my first beta. My Af should have been here yesterday or today. My beta was done first at 11dpiui. But, I think I was only 10dpo on that day. My second beta was done 13dpiui or 12dpo. It went from 15 to 40. I have been having mild lower back pain off and on. I normally get that before AF. I did have notice that last week after school I was very tired after school. I have started taking naps. I actually noticed the exhaustion last Monday. I also have been having very mild indegestion/heartburn. I would love to have symptoms though. I just want everything to be o.k. I really wish RE would have completed a third beta. But nurse said since it more than doubled, they wouldn't. By the way, I do not like suppositories!!lol! How in the world are we going to pass the time?!?
haha.. i do the same... keep making sure that they hurt! which it is normal for them to hurt on and off.. so not sure why i do that.. but i need some sort of reassurance! as nickswife said.. one of the things that clued me into maybe being pregnant was the exhaustion! its crazy.. but i love each and every symptom! i urinate frequently and already (tmi!) have bad constipation as well.. and the sore boobs.. i have been super nauseated with one pregnancy (hyperemesis gravidarum) and it didn't start till about the end of the 5th week and lasted the rest of that pregnancy (~10 weeks). oh and i'm SUPER hungry!! rachjas - i have had friends that don't have any symptoms their entire pregnancy.. so its really just different from person to person! : )
The only symptoms i am having is before i even got my BFP i was so tired- thats how i always know im pregnant! my husband even knew before i tested. my boobs are very sore and get nauseas here and there but thats about it. everyone is different, i was kinda wondering the same myself. with my other 2 kids i was really sick but its not bad now. i am still kinda early i guess. i am just really frweakin out tho, im so scared to mc again. i keep feelin my boobs to make sure they still hurt- they do! LOL> so exactly about how far along are you now?
Are either of you having any symptoms? Could I not be having much since my hcg levels started off lower? Or, does that not really have anything to do with it?
bny- yes i seen that you are also 4w 3d today also! i go back fri to get levels checked again..thats always the scary part for me..i just pray they keep going up! i have to have 2 shots of lovenox a day. its not bad. i just have tiny bruises nothing major. i just hope we all have sticky lil beans and all goes well! keep in touch.
thats great you get to go early for your sono and again at 7 weeks!!!! : ) I get a little nervous myself about tubal pregnancies since i have horrible endo!
usually an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy will have slow to rise beta's .. they ususally don't double every 48 hours or so.. and most of the time ectopics also will have spotting as well.. most of the time they are symptomatic by 6.5 weeks or so.. which can be spotting, and pain to one side or the other. GOOD LUCK! i hope everything looks great! keep us updated!! : )
nickswife: i can't believe how close we are in dates, and that your on lovenox as well! i'm currently on regular heparin, but i hear they might switch me to lovenox since its only once vs. twice daily.. Its amazing that it can keep us pregnant!! my tummy is black and blue already, but i'm loving that i get the chance to be pregnant and give the shots to myself and that so far its working! : ) keep me updated!

bny807- I am glad your hcg is doing what it should be this time. Like I said, RE wanted to see my in my 6th week.. but she didn't remember that is her vacation week. So, nurse acutally scheduled me for the 24th, but I got a call later saying RE would rather see me before her vacation. So, that is why I am early. Plus, I am at risk for a tubal. We want to make sure things are in the correct spots. I have a feeling if everything is good, she will have me back in my 7th week for another US to check for th HB. Do you know what signs of a tubal are?
nickswife- Your numbers look great! I can't wait to hear about all of our upcoming appts!

Hi ladies! I also hope to be here until November! I have 2 boys from a previous marriage 17 and 9 and just had 2 mc, may and oct of last year. I am now 4wks 5d and so very scared! i have been having my levels checked, fri the 20th-27 mon 23rd-203 and the 27th- 775! i go back fri and next fri until they get high enough for an ultrasound. i also have a blood clotting disorder si i am on lots of folic acid prenatal vits and lovenox injections. just praying all is well this time! congrats and good luck to you ladies!!
OO so exciting!!! man.. i wish mine were coming up that soon! i did get my beta checked only twice.. in the past i have had issues with my beta's in the beginning being slow and low, so those we checked more than twice.. they scheduled my ultrasound later since we weren't 100% sure when we concieved and we'd rather ultrasound later i guess so we don't get scared for any reason... hopefully you'll be able to see a gestational sac at that point.. but it would be too early to see a heartbeat most likely.. keep me updated yeaaa the 13th isnt' too far away! : ) congrats congrats! : )
My 1st ultrasound is set for 3/13. Normally, that would have done it during the 6th week, but the doctor is going to be out of town. So, she wants to see me ahead of time. What do you think we will be able to see at 5w4d?
bny807- Congrats to you also. I hope that this pregnancy works out for you. You truly deserve it! So your next appt. is for your ultrasound? Did they check your hcg twice?
As for me--me 2nd beta was 40, 13dpiui. It more than doubled. I used one of the beta calulators and it came out to be 63% increase. My RE seemed very happy. She told me to call the office in the am to schedule my ultrasound. I figured I would get my levels checked at lease once more?!?!
