First ultrasound 2/19 - one baby with a heart rate of 127! EDD 10/11/2016
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My next Dr. appt in 2 weeks, just to hear my doctor tell me again that everything looks ok.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: No rants this week... just staying positive. We had our ultrasound on Friday which revealed a healthy baby and heartbeat. One week closer to a healthy baby.
4. GTKY: Did you watch the Oscars last night? Thoughts? I didn't watch, I just get so bored with award shows. I'm happy for Leo though.
@simcal18 Thank you so much. I'm 100% back to normal now! And my OB brought me in for an ultrasound (my first with this pregnancy) and everything looks wonderful with the baby and I got to hear the heartbeat.
measuring 6 weeks which is going perfect measured since my ovulation but it's a week before my lmp measurement. saw a heartbeat also. much more relaxed.
My anxiety has been through the roof recently. I'm 8w 2d and my loss happened at 8w 6d and was random and unexpected (I had just had an "everything is fine" US at 8w) .
So far this pregnancy I've mostly just been saying to myself "you're pregnant" and not so much "you're x weeks pregnant" and just avoiding counting in general but right now I can't seem to shake it. Positive thoughts and prayers welcomed.

3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am SO looking forward to telling our daughter, but we are waiting until we hear the heartbeat at our first ultrasound on 3/17. SO HARD to keep this news from her for now!
4. GTKY: Did you watch the Oscars last night? Thoughts? No, we were camping this weekend.
BFP #1: 10/2011, Pre-eclampsia in last 6 weeks, emergency C-section, DD born 6/25/11

I'm in need of some support please. I just had my ultrasound and while I'm 7+1 from LMP I'm only measuring 5, and no sign of baby yet. Just a gestational sack and yolk sack. Thankfully my doctor is awesome and has me in for another ultrasound next week.
I'm so sorry for the stress @housewifehobbyist. Sending you lots of positive thoughts & support!!!! Hopefully things will be fine and you're just a little bit earlier than you thought you were. Please keep us updated if you can.

Would you ladies mind doing a chart stalk for me? I know it's not normally done after pregnancy but I really don't think I O'd late and I just have a bad feeling. Maybe you see something I don't.
@housewifehobbyist I think the O around CD 17 makes more sense, but I also don't think it's entirely impossible that you Oed a week later and your post-O temps just didn't rise a ton. Try to visualize your cover line around 98.2 -- it doesn't look that crazy. Granted, your CM lines up better with the first O date, but the fact that you had a negative HPT at 11 DPO makes me think that later O isn't entirely out of the question. Any reason why your earlier temps may have been a bit warmer or your later temps may have been a bit cooler? Temps are funny things sometimes -- they're helpful guidance but they're imperfect. In any event, I definitely wouldn't count yourself out yet.

Thanks @MRSCORKER and @simcal18. We were trying to avoid that month so there's not a lot of options for day of conception. I guess I have to just wait and see (I hate waiting!) but at least my doctor is nice enough to check with me in a week to see if I've made any progress.
I agree by the chart it looks possible that you could have ovulated six days later than you thought, especially since you did miss that one day. I've also heard of babies "hiding" - especially if the mother has a tilted uterus - and not being visible at first. As hard as it is, you'll just have to wait for time to tell. I hope your news is good.
@housewifehobbyist You were trying to avoid and got a bfp? Just like @MRSCORKER ? That is so crazy! I didn't know that. I'm super glad you both are here though.

Haha! I should say we were "supposed" to be TTA.

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Next Thursday I get my first US! I'm hoping this time there is something in my sac!! I've already made it further than before!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm excited that the baby is starting to make it's presence known a little more. I'm getting a little nauseous when I get hungry, so I'm constantly grazing
4. GTKY: Did you watch the Oscars last night? Thoughts? Oscars? I just barely made it to see Leo win!! I was the Titanic generation and I remember my locker being covered with Leo and all the boy bands
Lurking to support and chart stalk: @housewifehobbyist I agree with simcal that it's possible you O'd on CD23. That would make your conception at O-1, with a positive test at 10 dpo. That's not crazy. That would have your theoretical LMP at 19 January, so as of yesterday you would have been ~ 6w2d. FX for you that you see more next week. Hugs!
Next milestone? Seeing a real live baby with a heartbeat on the scan in 2-3 weeks. I want this baby so bad but I just can't believe this is real right now.
Rants/raves: I want to tell my coworker friends, but can't until I can tell my boss. And I don't want to do that till after the scan.
My family is gonna give me Hell about this baby at my age. Even though it's not them having it or caring for it.
If this baby is healthy, I am loving the much less severe morning sickness this time around.
Last night my boobs hurt so bad they woke me up! And I'm so tired I have trouble staying awake at work. So so tired!
