After 2 years of trying, my 4 year old will finally be a big brother! I just got word that my Beta #'s went up like they should :)

Wouldn't it be that I (for the first time) didn't chart the day my period started, and actually didn't feel my typical ovulation pain, so I thought we had missed it when had some fun.....

I'm pretty certain that I'm about 4 weeks and maybe a day or two though...this cycle wasn't terribly active in the bedroom, ha ha!

I'm a little too familiar with losses and infertility, but have my fingers crossed that finally treating my thryoid + progesterone support will get me through. 

I've been given some info that low protein and low vit B6 contribute to morning sickness, so I will be testing this theory in the coming weeks, if anyone wants to join me. Though morning sickness was a welcome reassurance with my son, I don't know if I could handle going to school, & taking care of him while puking....

I really didn't think we caught the egg this cycle so I took a pregnancy test the night before the 14 days was up so I could have a glass of wine...and surprise!

Is anyone else still peeing on a stick....it's a little reassuring, but the line still isn't as dark as the test line yet, so I really should just stop obsessing.

So far, some twinges in the boobs, occasional slight wave of nau sea when hungry, smell things very strongly, very forgetful, lie awake at night, a little more tired, bloated belly already, cramps and twinges in the uterus on & off, and utter shock and excitement still!

Something feels different about this one, so I think I'm in it for the long run :)

I don't know if it's just a subconscious hope, or reading into meanings, or whatever, but I'm thinking girl? (I'm known to be wrong every time when I guess for someone else though, so we'll see!)

Healthy 9 months to all :)

I was thinking we weren't going to be expecting this month either. My husband got back from Afghanistan on the 11th of Jan and for some reason I miscalculated when I should O (I seriously have a test book body, they could have been talking about me when they wrote the texts.. I O between day 12-15 on my 28-29 day cycle) so I thought we would be safe. Ends up I oed between the day he got home and a few days after. I teased him that it was "perfect timing" even if it really wasn't.

I'm thinking girl this time but I have no real clue. Ive been right 2 out of three times. My middle I was thinking boy because I didn't have morning sickness and with my first I had horrible morning sickness. She is definitely 100% girl. So we shall see about this one. Id be happy either way but my girls really want a little sister. My oldest has been asking for a baby sister since her brother was about 5 months old.

Welcome!!  And a HUGE congratulations!!!!

Your story sounds kind of similar...we were surprised about this, too!!  After 4 losses last year, my last one ending in Nov/Dec at 10 weeks, I guess my first post-m/c cycle did the whole "messed up" thing (for the first time after 5 other miscarriages and 3 births), because I didn't feel any ovulation pain (which I can't remember the last time I DIDN'T feel it) and didn't see it on my chart, yet low and behold, CD22 gave me a blaring positive.  We were very happy, just hoping this baby will end up in arms!!!
