Hi holli,
i am due july 31, this is also our first and we are super excited but guarding our hearts just in case something bad happens, I have been having some mild cramps and I had an ultrasound and they could not see anything in my uterus but they said that it might be too early. I had a hcg done and it was 1166 and I read online that you can't see a sac or fetus until your number is above 1200. Maybe I am not as far along as I thought. So we are being cautious.

How are things with you? How old are you guys? How long have your been married? How long have you been trying to conceive?

I am 27 my husband is 26, we have been married for 5 years, this is our first try. We have also been living in china for a year and plan to live here for about another 10 months. So keep in mind that their medical advancements are not as far along at the states and that they only speak chinese so understanding everything is a bit difficult. I do have Dr.S in the states that I relay information to. So, it's going to be interesting.

I might be pregnant and if I am i'd be due aug 2nd. I just have to go get my blood work done to know for sure. And if i'm preggo, this will be our first :) I am both excited at the possibility and nervous...

My husband and I are both 23, and we were going to wait a few years, but I had surgery in july which showed I have endometriosis, and they weren't even sure if I could conceive. My dr (who I totally love and trust) said I have a very short window of time to conceive, so we have been trying since then. I was on my first cycle of clomid when I got pregnant!!

Also, I have had a lot of cramping. I got really scared last week because it seemed to be mostly on my left side(i thought it could be ectopic), so I called my dr and got my hcg levels drawn and they were 1968. So he ordered a stat ultrasound, and they saw the sac in my uterus. He repeated the bloodwork saturday because every 48 hours your hcg should double, and it was 3952. So far everything looks ok...I am having another ultrasound in about 12 days because he said by then they shoud be able to hear the heartbeat on the ultrasound and we will know everything is ok!! I will be glad to make it out of this scary part of pregnancy!

I hope the best for you, please keep in touch. I can't imagine being in china going through all of this!!

*holli*

p.S. You have any nausea yet??

Let me know what your blood work shows! Have you taken a home test yet?

I hope the best for you, and although my husband and I were whole heartedly trying to conceive, and even on fertility drugs, we were both shocked for about two days after we found out...It is a miracle, but also very overwhelming!

Good luck!! Keep in touch

Hey all i'm due in aug. And this is my first child and I didn't think this was going to be hard but it is and my god now I wish I wasn't preg. But i'm and I would do anything to chage it now. :d I find out two weeks after I have sex with my b\f and then I keep it to my safe before I told any body about but now ever body knows and I real wish I could keep from everybody know because I don't like everybody feel my belly and if tell anyone not to touch. My belly they all get mad at me for it. :x but I real don't care it me caring this baby not them. Well thank you for just list to me.

I did take a cheap stre brand test and it said neg. But why I still think I might be pregnant is last year around this time I was pregnant and I could just feel it, I just knew, and no test would come out positive. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to get blood work done then and I miscarried :( but now i've decided to wait to see if my period comes at the end of the month, then i'm gonna go see my doc and get my blood work done. Til then all I can do is wait. Apparently false negatives run in my family... So we'll see...

And in case ur wondering why I think i'm pregnant, i'm just tired all the time, feel sick quite often during the day. All I wanna eat is chicken, and my breasts are sore to the touch. Plus, when it was time for my period at the end of last month, all I got was 2 or 3 days of light light pink spotting.

How are u feeling now? Congrats on getting pregnant so quickly :) that's fantastic!

Will I feel real good but I cry and I get mad over any thing all my b\f has to say is he love me and I get mad and then if he dosen't tell me I think he dosen't love me and then I go to crying so all the time I get mad are I cry so I hope that it will go away soon.

Oh I know what u mean, babygirl.

Yesterday I got off the phone with my mom (just talking about work, nothing bad or anything) and as soon as I started walking away from the phone I just burst into tears.... I've cried at so many things. I cried last night when my bf told me that the reason he hates christmas is cuz that's when his gf before me broke up with him, but he said this one would be the best he's had cuz he has me, and I started crying. I am like a faucet lately... Songs make me cry, movies make me cry.... It's awful.

I have had a little nausea and threw up once, mostly at night I feel naseated. The last two nights I have felt that way but we have eaten dinner late.

When was you lmp? Mine was oct 24th, your number is higher than mine, that concerns me a bit becuase I am due july 31st and you are due aug 5th, it seems my number should be higher than yours.

But honestly I dont know when my ovulation day was I had the dc from nov 4th-14th, so who knows.

How bad have your cramps been and what have they been like? Mine are in the center and only last for about 20 seconds and the worst of the pain probably only lasts for 3-5 seconds but it makes me stop what I am doing and wait for it to pass. I have had a few stabbing pains in random spots. It's all so confusing, this waiting is killing me.

I just turst the lord and know he is in control.

Keep me posted

I am due august 6, 2006. Anyone interested in being my buddy through this is more than welcome to email me!

This is my first time!

Do you guys think this is normal????
I am 6 weeks pregnant as of yesterday and saturday night I started spotting a little bit. Girls I am so so scared of something happening to this baby, as it is my first so I don't know what to really expect! I go to the doctor 9 days from today 12-14-05 for my first visit. I am due 8/6/05, and I have not told anyone other than my husband yet we are hoping for a christmas surprise!

Congratulations areneau! And spotting is completely normal :) good luck with ur pregnancy! I hope all works out for u!

Thanks so much for the comfort!

Do you know what will happen at my 1st doctors visit next week?

Should just be some starter tests to see how it's going with u. Likely a blood test and such. Also u might then shedul ur first u/s. But i'm not sure. Really it's just for conformation that ur pregnant.

Thanks!!!!
They had mentioned an us b/c I will be 7 1/2 weeks by then but what will that show? You know? Also do you have any suggestions on telling our families? This will be the 3rd g.Child for his family and 1st for my family!

Amy

At that time u should be seeing the baby's heartbeat and that's all I can remember.... Sorry. As for telling ur families, think of a nice creative way, maybe give them all christmas cards sign from u, ur husband and baby makes three. Something like that. Maybe u can slip an u/s pic in or something.

Good idea on the us pic.
