Ladies, please pray. I just found out I'm pregnant! ! Happy and scared I'll lose this one. Can't write much, headed out. Love to you all. And if we're friends on Facebook, please don't say anything there. We won't announce until 20 weeks.

@rebecca - Congratulations! Wow! Keeping my fingers crossed for you, I hope your body "remembers" what to do, so to speak.

@miracle - Still no AF! I hope it's not from the vitamins, I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed!

Good Morning ladies. Cd 34 Still no AF. I had some spotting yesterday that was there every time I wiped from 10:30 am - 4 pm. and then nothing after that. If this is my period than it's the lightest period known ever. I am a VERY heavy bleeder during my af, always have been. TMI - I normally soak through tons of pads in my cycle.. so this is strange. I am wanting to wait until the spotting stops, give it a few days and then test.

@Bhanna - Hi there. Thank you. I really hope and pray too. I hope you get some "good" news in a few days. :) Keep us posted.

@Rebecca - Oh WOW! Congratulations! Very happy for you! I hope it's a sticky lil bean. Can't believe it... you are one fertile mama! Of course I won't say anything. I think that goes for anyone of us in here that may be friends of facebook. I will follow your lead..

@Skyline - I really hope and pray the same thing. Even though the bottle of vitamins I mistakingly took for a month say's 45 + (high potency heart, bone and hormone support) on them. Can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but I went in to the supplement department at the health food store "Whole Foods" to ask the employee to tell me why the bottle say's hormone support. we both couldn't see any ingredient that was listed that would mess up a cycle. There was no maca root, no chasteberry, no vitex, ect.. Hmm? There's always the scary thought that I am hitting early menopause or something. I hope not.

@miracle- I seriously got so happy to see it was a false alarm! What in the world is going on with this spotting! Spotting was always normal for me but for someone who its not...i mean, thats gotta say something! I think anything different is great! FX for you lady, you deserve this more than anyone i know! So tomorrow is cd35? So you will test then?! EEEEk! I think since you were just at that big doctor's appointment, they would have been able to see if you were hitting early menopause. Stay positive friend!

@rebecca-Wow! Congrats! You are going to be one busy mamma lol!

@Bhanna-Oh i hope she stays far away!!!!

Well ladies, my grandma passed away last night. Very bitter sweet. The hardest part is seeing my dad hurt. She was a wonderful lady, with the best sense of humor and was so loved. She was surrounded by her children when she went to heaven.

I get to see the baby today :) We have what might be our last RE appointment. I am not sure if they will graduate me, or see me one last time. I kinda hope we get one last time there. I have been increasingly more nauseas. Not much throwing up, but more so dry heaving and a ton of gagging. Always first thing in the morning and before bed. I am really struggling wtih keeping myself full, but not over eating. It seems impossible. I am literally hungry five minutes after i feel full, but then will feel sick if i eat too much. But then if i am hungry i feel nauseas! I am trying to find a happy medium, but it really does not matter what i eat...i dont get full. How do ladies just not get huge during pregnancy?

Okay help please, I am officially six days late and no sign of af. But three negative tests ( last one on sat ) what could be happening?

@Lschrader - So sorry to hear about your grandma's passing. :( Sending you a (((((((( hug )))))))). Alas, your symptoms are kicking in now. Fun, fun fun.. not. Hope you find ways to get relief without having to eat a ton of food that makes you gain a ton of weight. Baby is first and all but I feel bad for woman who gain a whole bunch.

@Cmmhopeful - I hope you get answers soon. Did you ovulate later than you thought? Are you tracking/charting your cycles? How positive you O'd when you did? You are not out until the witch shows up just remember.

AFM - Ughhhhh spotting has started again. I think I am just having a weird stupid period. Something has gone awry for sure. No other weird symptoms. Usual pms stuff, bloated, irritated, hungry, gassy, constipated.. cried already once today. I wish this would get on with it. Too scared to test. Don't want to see a bfn. Figuring the worst because of the spotting on tp.

@miracle - Man, I hope it's not a super light AF. Hang in there! I am glad the vitamins don't appear to have anything that would hurt your cycle, maybe they gave you the extra boost you needed, wouldn't that be something!? Hopefully it's not early menopause.

@LSchrader - So sorry about your grandma passing, sending hugs. Let us know how your u/s goes today, it's nice that you get so many. Wow. I still can't believe your time is finally here! Oh, and about announcing, we waited until 13 weeks I think. It was hard at first, but it got easier to wait. Don't worry, you shouldn't feel like this the whole pregnancies, and you are supposed to eat 500 (?) more calories than usual. I seriously kept a bag of saltines on me 24/7 during those first weeks and would eat one or two whenever I had a twinge, it really kept the hunger/nausea at bay.

@cmm - Do you normally have a regular cycle? Some women have low levels of hCG that can take a while to show up. Fingers crossed for you!

@rebecca - Keep us updated!

AFM - My office has dried out mostly, I went over the carpet with a shop vac last week, that helped. I better run, I need to stop a pick up some prunes! (the poor little boy has been constipated. )

@miracle - Just saw your last post. Ugh! I really hope it's not just a weird period. Hope you get answers soon!

@miracle-Since its still really weird, i am hoping its a good sign! Finger's crossed for you still!!! Thanks, it was a hard day, but feeling better now.

@skyline-Thanks lady! She is in a much better place now. I have been living off of saltines. I just feel like i am getting huge already! I don't feel like i am overeating or anything like that though. I am trying to drink a lot of water also.

@cmm - hopefully you figure this out soon! Has this ever happened before?

AFM-Our u/s went great today! I graduated from my RE which is bitter sweet! All the nurses hugged us and gave us a nice send off. It's crazy how much bigger the baby looks everytime we go!! We got to see the umbilical cord too! It was so neat to see. The baby's hr was at 182. Seems so high, but he said it was totally normal!
