The Fabulous ONE Thread - Sept 5 to Sept 11 - Page 3

Thank you everyone!

Now I am at the stage of worry. Every little pain or cramp gives me a bit of worry. I am always like this though.

My line was a little bit darker this morning. We are pretty excited.

Good luck to everyone! I wish all would get pregnant.

So how long are you ladies going to wait to test?

[bolobear]

AF seemed heavy like a real period but short and lighter. I saw no blood clots in my diva cup. I think I'm on cycle day 4 but I just took a test and got a BFP. I'm confused. We'll test again tonight. But if there's a line then I really didn't have my period and that means I really wish I didn't have 2 beers saturday night and 2 glasses of wine last night.

I also didn't temp because I thought I had my period. ??
I'm very confused and not sure it's for real, but DH is giddy as anything.

[LivingSky]

bolobear: How confusing! I'd make an appt with your doctor and get a blood test. And maybe hold off any more alcohol for now - but I wouldn't stress too much about what you've already had. It wasn't that much, and it's in the past now. I'd just assume you're pg from here on out until you know for sure!

Good luck and here's hoping it's good and sticky for you!

I would LIKE to say that I am going to wait until the 16th-17th when I am officially late.. but let's be honest, I'll probably start Saturday, lol. I REALLY do want to try to wait until at least Monday though... With DD, I tested once on 9dpo and got a BFN which gave me enough disappointment to wait until 13dpo when my temp went triphasic ... sooooo I don't know what I'll do but let's just say my self control when it comes to peeing on things is sadly pathetic, lol.

If it makes you feel any better, I bled with DD at around 5 weeks pg and thought I was losing her... It was 2 days worth of light bleeding. Had I not already known I was pg, I would have thought it was my period for sure. We went to the ER and found out nothing, went to the Dr the next day and OB checks me and the blood was coming from my cervix (it was all angried up from the new hormones apparently) and she was absolutely fine. We even got to see her heartbeat ... we couldn't measure it because she was soooo small but we saw it fluttering As for the alcohol, I think you're okay this early... I know it's scary but this early, everything will be just fine. Good luck and I really hope this is IT and everything is just fine.

ETA: Ohhh and looking at your chart, your temp JUMPED on the day of bleeding... that's a good thing! It looks like you had some heavy implantation bleeding!!!! I think you got a belly fruit in there!!!!

LOL! I understand completely. I've set the 17th as my test day. I only have one test and it's an expensive digital one, so I don't want to waste it! I'm not sure if I'll make it that long though. And I have to run some errands in town today, so I might be tempted into picking up some cheapie dollar store tests. ARGH!

Any symptoms so far? I felt tummy-achey and just icky all day yesterday but it seems better today. I'm in hyper-body-awareness mode of course - ANYTHING could be a symptom to me right now!

[mija y mijo]

Outsideofthebox: Congrats!!!

Bolobear: That sounds really confusing! But a BFP is awesome news!!!

AFM: Please move me to 2ww. I had a definite temp jump the past two days, so I'm positive I O'd. I can't wait to start testing!

That is very similar to what happened to me when I got pregnant with DD. I had a couple of BFNs, started what I thought was AF but it was lighter and only lasted a couple of days. I had one last test and took it "just in case" and got a BFP.

I really wouldn't stress about the alcohol. I finally got my BFP while I was in Vegas for my brother's wedding, and had been having a really good time. I didn't think there was any chance I was pregnant so I spent four days drinking pretty much all day (never 'drunk' as I didn't drink that fast, but it was all day long). I had coffee and baileys with my mom playing slots, beer with lunch, daiquiris at the pool, wine with dinner, and champagne to toast my brother and his bride. Seriously.

Of course as soon as I got my BFP I stopped drinking. My DH wasn't with me (he had to work) and I didn't want to tell him over the phone, and I didn't want to tell my family before I told him so they all just thought I was hung over and didn't want to drink anymore. I still remember my dad asking me if I wanted a beer at the pool. I said no thanks, just a water. He said "A water, AND a beer??"

Anyway, long story even longer, DD is now over 2yo, has always been slightly advanced developmentally (she walked at 10mo!), has a huge vocabulary, smart as a whip, and the healthiest kid I know. There is absolutely zero signs of any effects on her from mommy's good time at uncle's wedding.

Lots and lots of women have surprise pregnancies and have a few drinks before they find out. As long as you avoid alcohol from here on out, your baby will be just fine.

Congratulations!!!

AFM, more bleeding and a temp drop this morning. I am so bummed. Can I please be moved back to Waiting to O?

Two cycles temping now, and each with an 8 day LP. That is just really not going to work out.

I am going to double my B6 - I was taking 50mcg, and am going to boost it to 100mcg. Is there anything else I can get over the counter or maybe at a health food store to try to get a longer LP? I want to try one more cycle on my own before going in to my doctor.

I am also thinking about trying soy again this cycle.

Meh.... I am just so bummed.

[motray36]

outsideofthebox - Congratulations on your BFP!

bolobear - I agree with everyone - confusing, but certainly promising . I also had some cervix-related pregnancy bleeding like Attached2Elijah mentioned, so it may be that (especially if you "up in there" with the diva...or anything else ).

As for me - I am 7DPO, and am considering it good luck that my DPO matches the date . Temp still above the coverline (this mornings was even taken early!). My sister was in town this weekend, as I mentioned, and so any possible symptoms (not feeling well, over tired), may be a result of that as well! I've also had some watery - stretchy CM the past few days...but if I put it on FF they take away my crosshairs. booo.

cyclebuddies (MommyMatsumoto, Attached2Elijah, LivingSky, and any others!). DH is leaving on Monday (so 13DPO), and so I told him yesterday that he has until Friday to tell me if he really wants to wait until I can tell him on the webcam (such a pain in the arse for a number of reasons) or if we can find out before that, if possible. If I have to wait until 13-14 DPO I might lose my mind, but I do have 3 OPKs that I can pee on just to pee on something in the meantime . If I am given the go-ahead to test sooner, I will probably get some cheepies and start testing on Friday.

Yay, I won't be peeing alone then! LOL!

And CONGRATS to you!!!!

Bolobear - In April, I had some bleeding that I thought was a short, light period, followed by a BFP. Sounds like this is pretty common. Congratulations!

[MountainMamaGC]

Bolobear, congrats and good luck! Dont worry about the alcohol. I went to a wedding around the time AF was due with DD. She is awesome.

Just Lily, I am sorry AF is here. Have you thought of trying maca. It wont mess up your hormones, just balance them. I have a friend that used OTC progesterone cream to balance out her LPD. She now has a baby girl.

I had another pregnancy dream. I was in the hospital and these women were hooking me up to machines and IVs. I was very pregnant. I begged them to let me go. Finally they said yes and unhooked me and I left.

I don't know anything else, in fact, I am glad you mentioned the B6, as I think I might be in the same boat. I had a temp drop yesterday at 9dpo, and it was still low today. No AF yet, but I don't see how this could be a pg with a temp drop like that. This is also only my first month off BCP's, but I only have a window of next this month and the next before I'd end up having a baby in the middle of my 4th semester of nursing school. I'm going to pick up some B6 today, so thanks for mentioning that, as otherwise I would not have known about it!

BOLOBEAR when are you going in for a blood test? CONGRATS!!!

I'm going to wait until the 14th test. That's when FF recommends that I test and I'm so over getting BFNs from 8dpo on. Plus, I only have CBE digis and I'm not going to waste those. My DH thinks I'll cave and go get some Dollar Tree tests, but I told him that I will have more self control this time. LOL I don't have much to obsess about. I thought I felt something in my uterus yesterday while I was shopping, but I didn't want to read too much into it. I had a sinus headache for the past 3 days and finally feel better today, but I'm not sure that's a symptom since I get those a lot. Oh, and I had a dream last night that I was surrounded by pregnant women. That's pretty much how my real life is, but it was somehow made worse in my dream. Ugh.

[MommyMatsumoto]

Bolobear, I'll be praying for great blood test results!!

Oooh! Me, too! I'm 4dpo right now. I'm planning to wait until AF is a few days late, so probably somewhere around the 21st I'll test. Unless I start getting crazy, unmistakable symptoms before then.

When you work in healthcare, you tend to start thinking that you have every symptom of every disease and condition you study or encounter. And of course 99.9 times out of 100 it's all in your head. So it would probably be pretty easy for a woman working in L&D or NICU or OB-GYN to dismiss pregnancy symptoms as psychosomatic for a pretty long time.
