November BMB Waiting Room

creamcheeseplease

Anyone else waiting for the BMB to open up? 

creamcheeseplease

Hoping to find some ladies to chat with over the next week or so til the BMB opens. My name is creamcheeseplease, and I just found out last night after getting negatives on cheapies, but AF didn't come so I took an FRER which was positive. 

So far all I'm feeling is nervous. I have been job hunting, but it looks like if all goes well I will end up sticking it out where I am for a little while longer. I'm a corporate librarian, and I have a DS who was born March 2017. 

Edited to add: looks like by ovulation due date would be November 2 or 3.

kopp5988

@creamcheeseplease Congrats!!! I’m with you! I just tested positive 30 minutes ago! I’m shaking I’m so shocked! I believe my due date would be the 4/5.

creamcheeseplease

Hooray!! Congrats @kopp5988! Did you tell YH? 

kopp5988

I did I can’t keep a secret to save my life. Plus we were going to a winery with friends today so I needed his help to divert attention lol. Did you tell yours?

inthewoods23

*lurked over here to say...* Congrats @kopp5988!

creamcheeseplease

@kopp5988 it must have been so hard to fake drink at a winery. Did your H drink your drink or something? 

Mine actually read the test for me lol. I really didn’t think it was going to be positive after my negatives. 

kopp5988

Thank you @inthewoods23!

@creamcheeseplease I just told them I was in my TWW and period was only a couple days away so I didn’t want to chance it. Which isn’t totally a lie since I got my BFP at 11DPO.  Aww well I’m glad he could give you the good news then!

misshelen86

*lurking again @kopp5988 Congrats! Wishing you a H&H 9 months!

mycousinvinnie

+1 on waiting for the BMB to open.  I just tested positive yesterday but by my LMP, I’m guessing that puts my DD as the 5/6.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

kopp5988

Thank you.  One of my all-time favorite movies!

creamcheeseplease

Pretty quiet here so far.. what are you guys up to tonight? @kopp5988 @mycousinvinnie

im doing laundry and letting my son watch nursery rhymes for a bit. I’m definitely going to bed early though. I’m really tired, a lot more tired than I remember being with my son. It’s so early for that! I’m only 4w today. 

prpl11butterfly

@kopp5988 congrats!!!

kopp5988

@prpl11butterfly thank you!!

@creamcheeseplease I totally failed at chores this weekend, also crazy tired and I won’t be 4 weeks til tomorrow. Seems strange so early on but idk what else would be causing it. I made butternut squash risotto for dinner and it was delicious. Now I’m just watching parks and rec with my husband relaxing with tea. 

mycousinvinnie

We had a really low key weekend, my parents came for dinner and we did some yard work.  It was gray and raining today so naturally, I feel super sleepy.  

creamcheeseplease

@kopp5988 butternut squash risotto sounds delicious! 

@mycousinvinnie rainy days always make me sleepy too. 

Its crazy windy here and I could hear it howling through the window all night. So annoying. I also called and made my intake appointment with the nurse and then my OB appointment, not until 3/25. 

kopp5988

@creamcheeseplease it’s delicious, I make it about 1 Sunday a month. And I’ve got leftovers for lunch today, which are starting to call my name. The wind is crazy here too today. And that’s gonna be a long month wait!  My OB said they schedule for 8 weeks pregnant so I’ll have about the same wait as you before then.

@mycousinvinnie we also had a lazy rainy day yesterday 

I went to the OB this morning for a walk-in blood draw to check my levels. They said it’ll take 24-48 hours for results. It’s taking everything in me not to go buy more sticks to pee on every morning to make sure everything is all good. I took the only two I had Saturday and Sunday, Sunday was darker than Saturday, which was still pretty dark, but I’m paranoid. 

creamcheeseplease

@kopp5988 that's nice that you can have your levels drawn. I'm in the same boat, I have no more tests. I kind of want to go get more, but I know its sort of a waste. My OB doesn't do levels unless you have had previous complications. They do draw blood around week 6 but I never saw any beta levels on the results. Hopefully the month will go quick. I'm already considering getting an earlier appointment since I know my OB would see me after week 6, but I know I should just stick it out. 

Work is so annoying today.. I ordered some shelving for my boss in like October. Now I am being told there is a $550 expedited shipping charge. Um no, we received these shelves in November and they most certainly were not expedited and I most certainly am not paying for this. 

kopp5988

@creamcheeseplease wait so the company is trying to charge you for expedited shipping on something that already shipped and was delivered?!

creamcheeseplease

@kopp5988 haha yeah. Ridiculous. 

kopp5988

I bought 2 more pregnancy tests this morning on my way into work because I keep feeling the need to retest over and over again. I hate myself lol

creamcheeseplease

I'll probably pick up one more pack this weekend when I go to Walmart on Saturday, but that'll be it. I hope.

kopp5988

@creamcheeseplease I hope you’re able to control yourself better than me. I also ordered a box of cheapies from amazon because I can’t handle being completely in the dark between now and an 8-week appointment.

creamcheeseplease

@kopp5988 were they the easy at home ones?

kopp5988

@creamcheeseplease I got the Wondfo brand ones 

amyjay23

Hi! Just got my BFP! Due date should be November 11th according to my LMP. Super early test on the FRER. Fingers crossed hard, as I had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago.

Sending you all love and all the positive vibes!  

kopp5988

@amyjay23 Congratulations!! Sending the positive vibes back at you

MusicalFamily

Congratulations everyone! 

Got my bfp 6 days ago. My EDD is November 1st based on my last AF.  I’m a STM and have a 3 year old son.  We’ve been trying for a year and 7 months so I’m excited this is finally happening! When I tried with my first, I got pregnant the first month. 

My DH and I are both music teachers. 

kopp5988

@MusicalFamily congratulations!! Have you told YH?

I love that more people are joining our party! 

Got my blood results from Monday back this evening and hearing the doctor say I’m pregnant made it seem all that much more real. I’ll go back tomorrow for the 48 hour follow up test.

klstone25

Hi ladies! I hope you don't mind if I join you. I just got my BFP tonight. My EDD based off of LMP is November 7th.  I am a STM and my DD is 19 months. I had a super short stay on TTGP this time around and look forward to getting to know all of you! 

@creamcheeseplease Congrats! I had wondered where you disappeared to from the TFAS thread.

mc0303

Hiii! Congrats @creamcheeseplease @kopp5988 @MyCousinVinny @MusicalFamily @klstone25 Wishing you all H & H 9 months!

I got my BFP last night on a FRER and have gone through roughly 10 tests since then. I am still in complete shock. I'm SO incredibly nervous because it's so early. I feel like I'm going crazy with the anxiety of hoping/praying/wishing it sticks. 

I am a FTM. MH was with me when I tested. When time was up, I looked at it from faraway and declared it negative and he left to go make dinner. But I immediately walked over and picked it up. That's when I actually saw a faint line and had no idea what to say besides "babe, can you come back here right now?!" We're equal parts anxious and excited

MusicalFamily

Yes! I couldn’t hold it in. I bought a shirt a while back for my son that says everyone loves a big brother so I could surprise my husband with it haha! We are so excited and blessed I had my blood test on Monday night so I should be getting my results back today. Tomorrow I go in for another blood test and u/s. Yay for a definite pregnancy!

creamcheeseplease

@klstone25 so excited to see you here!
Congrats @MusicalFamily, @mvc003!
