@ Dragonfly23 - I would definitely try all the medical approaches first if we can afford them. Adoption is expensive too. If things come to either of those we'll have to reevaluate our time line and start saving money for the specific purpose. Since there are lots of medical treatments before IVF and I don't have PCOS or anything I'm not that worried about it. Just keeping hoping for one within this first year of ttc!

@FlamingoGirl13. I totally understand. Here's to hoping you get pregnant before the year is up and you won't have to go through the process of having to go through the other options since you have no underlying issues (pcos, etc). I think that if things go past the year that I would seek the doctor and get all the medical testing done first before anything else and who knows, it might be an easy fix . My girlfriend says that she is happy that she is going to my first ultrasound and says that she will be sad at first but think she will be fine with it as she is "happy" for me.

Hey ladies! I’m doing great sickness has hit me hard this weekend and fatigue. I’m excited I get my ultrasound done on Wednesday “Valentine’s Day” which this weekend we will present it to immediate family only. We are getting picture done April to announce pregnancy.

Twin run in my family as well. My sister in law had twins as well. It would be awesome but I think I will stick with just 1 Lol, my odds are high for twins as well with family and age. Good luck dragonfly if you do get twins that would be amazing!

@Beaut1ful38. Thank you! If it turns out it is twins, I will be done with pregnancies as three is plentyful and my husband only wants two kids so this will be a surprise for us. So sorry that you have been sick, I hope that does cause havoc on the little bean. Only two more days and hope your ultrasound goes really well. I can't wait to go for mine as that will make things more real. Told my hubby that I have been more tired lately and he's like, you will be, you have a parasite growing inside you and you will be tired more and full of hormones. I enjoyed my last pregnancy so hoping this will be just as good as the last one.

Ladies, I am trying to remain calm but literally freaking out and hoping this is normal. Went to the washroom and when I wiped there was dark brown discharge. Please tell me this is normal. I never had any dischaege with my last pregnancy. No cramping. Hubby says not to worry but you know me.

Dragonfly- don’t worry it’s notmal. I had it last week for two days I was freaking out as well. But stayed calm and did about 2 more tests lol. I had mild cramps too. As along as it’s not red or clots your good. I agree once I get an ultrasound it will be more real. As long as I eat I’m ok. It’s instead of getting hunger pains I get nausea so I know it’s time to eat. Tired hits me Morning mid day and then at night I can of get a energy burst which then at night I can’t sleep good. Oh are you getting hot?? Omg I’m hot all the time I have to have a fan already lol

@Beaut1ful38. Thank you so much for the respnse as I lie here in bed hoping I get some reassurance before I can sleep for the night. Im still taking my progesterone cream so that is still good for the baby? I think I am done with testing as those would probably freak me out. When my anxiety acts out (like tonight) it would heat up the blood in my body and then I am fine but a few minutes later I am chattering my teeth. Then without warnkng it repeats itself. I try to get my mind off of it then I am good for awhile and then it creeps up again without warning. I did an internal check with toilet paper and nothing there. Having some cramping but it feels low. That's okay too right?

If it helps, go to the ob. I did all the time. It helped reassure things and my dr was totally understanding. I even had a home doppler i used 19wks on. It was like 40$ on amazon. Loved it. I hope you slept well and got rested up.

@ Dragonfly23 - Do you feel better this morning? Is your ultrasound tomorrow? I hope your anxiety has gone away. Thinking of you!

@Kelliria. Thank you! I may just do that.

@FlamingoGirl13. Still a bit freaked out, been awake since 5 when my alarm goes off at 6. Still having some minor cramping and the spotting did stop. I guess when things don't happen the first time and then it does it does tend to freak me out. Even with all the reassurance that things are fine, I am still freaking out with every little cramp I get. I will call the doctor this morning once I take a walk down to the health nurse to get more reassurance and to get some peace of mind. Not sure if I will stay the whole day or not as I am really tired and chilled. How are you today?
