Hi Albany - That will be me I think - have calculated my due date should be 4 August 2010. Still being very cautious as I am only 5 weeks preggers and haven't had that damn beta! Just clinging onto the 5 +tve HPTs!

Olim - Those HPT's don't lie!!! Which cycle day do they do beta's there? Is it 16dp and did you have a 3 or 5 day transfer? I am all about optimism!!!! :D :D :D

I have the worst gastric reflux! That is the only way I know I am still pregnant! I never had it in my life and my throat is burning! I guess the baby doesn't like the food I eat. It will take some adjustments I guess. Be happy you have those HPT's to rely on still. DH told me no more HPT's after beta :cry: :cry: ! He says to save money for the baby!

Albany - I don't get a beta at all here in UK - it's rubbish. Today I am 16dp5dt. My BB hurt which is what I am relying on to let me know I am still preggers - although they used to hurt every time of the month anyway so that's not much to go on! The nurse at my clinic told me not to do anymore HPTs too - easy for her to say - I have nothing else to go on until my 7 weeks scan (2 weeks tomorrow and counting!) when we should see a heart beat. Apparently the foetus is the size of an orange pip by today!!

My DH has also told me to stop POAS- haha - have spent over £40 on HPTs this week alone - eek! Am going to try to restrict myself to 2 a week...we'll see!

ps: how did you do your pregnancy tracker on your signature block - have been dying to be able to have one of those!

Ticker

Post by albany07 »

Yay for Orange Pip!

Olim - I guess that is good and bad. I think good b/c 20 - 30% of pregnancies end in m/c (just read this somewhere). So, if you know too early about bfp, you are heartbroken. If you have to wait 7 weeks you are ready to tear all your hair out. One pain you can't see on the outside and the other makes you look really :twisted: ! I think it's good, stop POAS and you are PUPO. So am I for that matter. My clinic does beta one day before standard. So, we know we are pregnant and we should relish in that fact. If for some reason it doesn't realize a birth, we should still RELISH in the fact that we have a little being living inside of us right now. Sorry for going off on a tangent, here is the ticker info:

So, I posted the link in the previous email. Go there, follow instructions, choose the BB code option, copy the link, paste the link under your signature in your Profile. Make sure to delete anything before and after [IMG] symbol after pasting to your signature line. It took me 2 tries.

I hope this helps. I am glad that you are here!

OK - now I am being stupid - this is the code it is telling me to copy and paste and it's not working - do you know which parts I should be deleting! Jeez - it's more tricky than getting pregnant!

Give me the date of your due date 8/4/10 right? Also, give me the style description and the baby you want. I will post your link so you can paste it. Unless you want to give it one more try. I think you are not clicking bb code under FORUM SIGNATURES right before the link they provide for you. It's not a prob, I can do it , but wont get to it until tonight. I have a 4 hour drive ahead of me back home to chicago. Cherrio! I think you Brits use that! Olim teach me some English terms, so cool... I wish I could hear you!

Yaay - thanks for the tip - it's worked!

Have a safe journey - I don't envy you your 4 hour drive.

Cheerio is definitly one of ours yes! Will think of some more for you - 'toodle pip' is another for goodbye - but quite old fashioned! Will drop a few more in for you when I think on.

Am glad we are both here too and praying that we stay that way. It's nice to have a familiar friend around especially so early on when we haven't told people yet and people don't know what a long haul we've been through to get here :)

Ha, ha, ha... I was wondering where you are and realized you are probably sleeping - it's 4am for you!!! But as I hear on my Sirius Satellite Radio 1, you all know how to rock on until the early morning! Not anymore!!!!
