Can I tiptoe in here? I know the same can be said for all of us, but I am so very nervous and tentative with this one. Got confirmation this morning that there is indeed a little bean in there. I'm a bit nervous, as my symptoms (or rather lack thereof) are the same as with Paisley. With Bug I was exhausted and with Riley I knew almost from conception that I was pregnant and had symptoms even before I could realistically test. With this little bean and with Paisley I haven't really had symptoms...more just suspicions because I've been more aware of when I ovulated and knew there was at least one time around ovulation with each of them that we didn't use protection. (My problem isn't getting pregnant...it's staying pregnant. I'm evidently rather a fertile myrtle, I just can't hang onto them).
Of course right now I feel like crud, but I think it's more due to this crummy head cold that Bug gave me!! Sitting here drinking orange juice and wondering what all I can do naturally to relieve the crud. I guess you could say with this little bean I am CAUTIOUSLY optimistic...because unlike with Riley and Paisley, I have been religiously taking prenatals and will be calling later today to see about getting in to see a doctor right away to check my levels and see if I need to be on progesterone, etc. I'm going to be so much more proactive in trying to keep this bean!! With Paisley, even after the early (4wk) loss of Riley I think I got too laid back about it all after the first 2-3 weeks...and wouldn't you know, at 4 weeks from knowing (at 8 wks) I started spotting...and hearing the heartbeat didn't mean anything.
The lack of symptoms at this stage don't worry me overly much...but like I told my friend, if it meant a healthy take-home baby, I'd be totally willing to deal with morning sickness!! I had pretty much round the clock queasies with Bug, but only threw up once...so yeah...I'd welcome the queasies (even the pukies) if it means this one sticks and is healthy!!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeee so excited for you! Gah, September was just....TWELVE BFPS SO FAR?? Whatever y'all did, can you bottle it and sell it to me???
I think I had pretty much joined and left by the time you guys joined. Best of luck to you! I keep telling myself that will all the BFP's here and pg people in my life that my turn must be just around the corner. But I have been saying that for a really long time now...
I'll let you all know, but may eventually delete the connection. I'm not usually so private, but I've found out a lot about these anti mothering trolls lately & it skeeves me out that people are like that. I did like the semi privacy of the loss boards.
