When did you get your BFP and how far along are you? Today! 3/20 at 11DPO 3w4d based on LMP. Squinter on Wondfo & faint but obviously + on FRER. Terrified of a chemical so I will be a POAS addict until I have at least 2 HCGs done.
Rants/Raves/Other? I was really expecting to be out & was prepared to call tomorrow to get them to order my injectable meds. I think I am a bit in shock today.
Symptoms? Some cramps which feel like I should have AF. They got more obvious last night & we're making me SS. The only other thing is thirsty!! I blamed salty food the other night but it really hasn't gone away.
Questions? I hope it's OK that I'm in November! Based on O, which was early EDD, is Nov 30, LMP Dec 2. I am on the cusp!
GTKY: How did you tell your DH/SO? Given the history it was pretty much a non event. When I found the wondfo which was sitting while I tried to go back to sleep was + I knew I needed to do a confirmatory test for him. I went back in the bedroom and sat on the bed. He woke up. I said I was pregnant, showed him a pic of the tests, he said they were definitely + but faint & then he went back to sleep.
So happy to see you here! We certainly welcome you with open arms. With DS, I participated mostly on Oct. '13, even though my EDD by LMP was 9/30. Early US put me into Oct. and he was born Oct. 3. I figured as a FTM, I'd go overdue and I seemed to identify more with them because by the time I hit certain milestones, many of the Sept. '13 moms were way past that. Lurking/participating both boards may be a good option for you! I may also do some lurking/participating in Dec. '16. By LMP, I'm due 11/24, but 11/27 by O date.
@HeyBooHey How did your January Whole30 go? Mine didn't. I was about 2 weeks into another one when I got my BFP. I decided its too hard to keep up while pregnant. But I am still trying to keep my food closer to Whole30 style if possible.
@MrsDho11 Nope, it's not too early for those symptoms. You though period hormones were crazy. Pregnancy hormones are way crazier!
@zrain I actually am surprisingly calm for being PGAL as well. I really though I would have so much anxiety but I don't. Something about this one just feels more positive to me. Also it's hard to pinpoint your O. Maybe you will be able to get a dating ultrasound.
@m6agua It went really well! I finished it and then kept very clean for Feb. I am still eating very paleo, except I have added white rice (I cook it in bone broth). I am still actively avoiding gluten and have been eating very minimal sugar. I plan to keep it up as long as I can. So far, I do not have any aversions, cravings or morning sickness, so I am able to do it. I realize that it could all be thrown away if that changes! Glad to have another Whole30'er in the BMB!
