Pregnancy Info HOME

HOPE~~ COngrats that is so awsome. Just dont stress and take it one day at a time. Dont worry about the x ray you are so early into it that it wont hurt the little one. Sit back and enjoy the next 9 months. So I have been sick for a week now. It hits me the most when I eat and in the morning. I took a test yesterday and got a BFN but I sat down and relize that I was testing way to early I am not set for af till the 4th. My temp is staying around 98.13 so what do you guys think. I was thinking about taking a test tomorrow or the next day do you think thats still to soon?

Hope - Congrats again! My only suggestion is to enjoy. I know its easier said than done, but if there is one thing I have learned about pregancy is that there is nothing you can do, nothing good comes from worrying. Whatever is meant to happen will happen. I truly wish that during those first few months I would have enjoyed it more and not been so stressed and worried about EVERYTHING. I will never get those times back that I should have been enjoying. So remeber NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM WORRYING. I think its only natural for women, espically those of us who had trouble getting pregnant, to worry but just stay calm and concentrate on being healthy for you and your baby. With all that being said Congrats again!! Tryingfor#3 - If AF isnt due until the 4th then you are testing too early. That temp is pretty high though - whats your coverline or what is it normally on this CD? Wait until AF is supossed to arrive to test again - this will save you money and your sanity!

CONGRATS Hope!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO excited for you :) HH9M to you sister! Ashley is right, relax and enjoy my friend :) This is special time for you and your baby to grow and bond...don't stress and lose that precious time you have together...it's only 9 months after all ;)

Ashley~~ I dont know what my cover line is because this is my first real month taking my temp every day. DH is on me to take a test and I was trying to explain to him about how if I test to soon then I could get a false negitive and he didnt get it and asked me to take one this morning wich I did and once again got a BFN. But I know its to soon so will wait till this weekend. The calander says the 4th but I know from months before I always start on the 6th or 7th its like my day. So we will see.

Oh my temp went to 97.68 today but I only got like 5 hrs of sleep so I know its not a real reading. so not going to stress about that today.

I just read where you are very worried about the x-ray. Don't be worried at all. Did you know that they used to(before u/s's) use x-ray to confirm that the baby was healthy/growing at the proper rate? They used to do these in order to diagnose things such as bone growth and even to determine other things such as single or multiple gestation. Too weird! However, they did figure out that the x-rays were way too powerful that they used at that time to determine these things, so they stopped using them for the health and safety of mom and baby during pregnancy. It is true that enough radiation waves are dangerous, but not much at this early of stages will affect your baby. Relax, and keep that stress level at bay because it's not like you went in and was exposed to a high amount/level with ONE x-ray. Medical professionals are overly cautious when it comes to pregnancy and x-rays. Rightfully so, however once at this point will not harm your baby. My advice is to make sure you are taking your vitamins and folic acid. Your level of HCG from what you posted is wonderful! I can't wait to see your next numbers...they will be just as beautiful and much larger than the current one!! :) Relax as much as possible, and don't forget to drink plenty of water and eat about 6-8 small meals a day. No help on nausea as mine is still bad and nothing has helped. However, if it's bad, your doctor can call something in for you to help. Don't hesitate to ask for that help if you need it. I'm so excited and happy for you darlin'!!!! HUGE hugs to you!

Linda - How are you?

OMG . . . My best friend just told me that she took a pregnancy test and she thinks that she saw a second line. They werent even ttc. If she is prego then I will be happy for her but sadly it just adds to the stress. Sorry i just needed to rant for a few . . . yall know what I mean!

Thank you so much everyone, for your support, courage and kind words, my appointments not on wednesday they moved it to thursday, i caled the RE's office today to ask what the next step would be after the BETA test on thursday, she said they usually do 2total beta tests and 2 total ultrasound, and then refer me to obgyn. SO i cant wait till then, thursday seems so far away LOL. i didnt have any symptoms and still dont, just frequesnt urination, it must be too early for it... I am thinking about getting a juicer, coz i dont eat veggies at all, so somehow i need to get some in my body... i have been on iron pills and prenatal vitamins for over a year now, so thats good.... so just waiting for thursday 7.15am, i can access the levels from the web protal, so i will have it before they call me :-) and i will post it as soon as i find out, pray for me dear friends....

Hope - I am praying for you, I am sure everything will be OK. Lets wait for Thursday together hehe. It does seem so far away - at least your appt is in the morning, I have to wait until the afternoon for my u/s BOO!! I am sure you will be having symptoms soon :)

Hey girsl I just wanted to give a quick update I am currently on cd20/7dpo and my temp went way down from yesterday 97.97 and yesterday it was 98.37 so I am thinking this might be my implantation dip. Also fertility friend said that if I conceived then the baby would be due on March 16 that is my mom birthday and she pa__sed away in Jan 96 and then my dad pa__sed 9 months later in Oct 96 they were both 53. I will update more in the morning. Krissy68
