Congratulations Myturn those are great numbers. Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy

HCG today was 544, and progesterone 680 I am only taking one pessarie a day now....

so according to betabase it's doubling every 48.89 hours... i think that's good

I am still having trouble thinking of myself as "pregnant".... Instead I can hear myself in my head talking about it (to myself.... ) as "I have had a transfer and it has come back with a positive result.... so my transfer was positive...."

If someone (ie. nurses etc) refer to me as 'pregnant'.... it feels weird.....

How long did it take everyone to "feel" pregnant...?

I am debating whether I should tell people or not.... I really really really want to... but my head says I should not, even though everything is saying it will be fine.... I don't want to tell the whole world... just family and a few friends..... thought I might see how I feel about it after the 6 week scan... which is thursday 16th.....

I am wondering what other LTTTCers decided to do??? who did you tell and when???

Lise congratulations on the safe arrival of your little boy. Sounds like he's nice and healthy too

Congrats again Lise - I LOVE the photo you have on FB with you and both your wee boys - gorgeous!!!

Eeek, our little girls are arriving on Monday. Scary but exciting! Crazy to think though, that even though there is only 6 days to go, I still have difficulty believing that this is real. I don't think it will really feel that way until they are safely in our arms.

[Saffy]

WHAT!! Thats great Melissa you have made it to a great gestation, omg I am so excited for you

[terry]

Hi ladies guess we are all busy posting on our own threads. Has anyone heard of any more LTTTC girls getting s positive result surely it's time to increase the numbers in here

AFM keeping myself busy yep finished worked and this is my second week at home being a domestic goddess haha. I'm on the home stretch exicited to meet my baby but also scared even though this is what I've always wanted. The what ifs are starting to creep in and poor DH thinks I'm going crazy trying to keep everything tidy incase I go into labour

[Saffy]

Hi girls,
I'm still here, sorry for not posting much, been slack!

Babydreamtime- congrats on your new baby!!! hope all is going well.
terry- I'm jealous you are finished work, I don't know how i am going to make it, 10 weeks to go of work for me. You must be nervous and excited! Enjoy your rest period before the baby arrives xx

I am officially at the halfway mark Had my 20 wk scan today and everything was perfect which I am still in shock about.
DH and I actually had a discussion today about whether we will try for another one, I could never have broached the subject earlier in this pregnancy, I was so scared. The logistics will be difficult so we need to discuss now as we have 1 frozen embie but basically I don't have much hope for that or for my egg quality if I went for ivf again ( I would be well over 40 by that stage) so would need to get my 35 yo sister to donate eggs before she turns 36. So complicated, will need to think about it further.

Hope everyone is going well, especially you myturn xx

Myturn that's great doubling wowie to your progesterone!! I still find it hard to say pregnant when referring to myself. I am still not out in the open telling people.... They must just think I have piled on a couple of kgs!! I think I will next week

[Janie71]

My turn your numbers are going fantastic. I started feeling pregnant once the morning sickness kicked in which was between 6-7 weeks both times for me. In regards to telling people I told my immediate family and DHs family on finding out about positive result, then told friends and work colleagues after 12 week scan.

[myturn]

ah joeve.... my BFF didn't officially announce until 21 weeks - she was too scared she'd lose it.... you are only just 13 weeks, I was thinking of officially announcing at work at the start of term 4, so I will be 14 weeks.... (but not sure if I will last!)

for some reason I thought everyone waited until 12 weeks... but it seems that people do tell the 'important people' earlier maybe I shouldn't worry so much... I think I am just scared I will jinx it... a bit like the refusal to POAS....

Hi everyone,
My turn congratulations and lovely high numbers. In my 4 pregnancies, 2 successful, 2 not, I have always told family and close friends pretty much from BFP. Couldn't help myself and even when it went wrong, I still had the fun of celebrating the early stages.

Joeve so happy to see you are doing well.

Janue not long for you now x

Terry, I have been very slack posting, I had my baby boy on the 26 July, but not posted a birth announcement (blush). All great with me and he is just divine. You can take me off the list thanks so much x

Will stalk you all to see how you go with your pregnancies xx

[JBM]

just saying a quick HI to all my old friends in here... hope the rest of your pregnancies goes well.

hugs and kisses to those who have just had babies too....oh how exciting

Can I jump in here?

I'm struggling to find somewhere that I fit.
I'm 4 weeks pregnant with #2 after 22 months TTC, fell pregnant on my 3rd IVF cycle after cycle 2 resulted in a chemical pregnancy.

I'm finding it hard to recognize pregnancy symptoms, vs the progesterone side effects.
I'm so paranoid that I'll have a miscarriage and not know because progesterone will stop me from bleeding.

I'm just really scared

[Emma09]

Anyone?
I can feel my anxiety peaking and I don't think anyone gets it!
