First time being pregnant and scared!! Just took a test this morning and got the positive---about 15 DPO(so I think I'm about 4 weeks??). So far I have slight cramps where I keep thinking my period is coming...also breast tenderness and I keep burping!! Is all the burping a sign of morning sickness to come???

Congratulations!  Not sure about the burping.  Burping usually helps my upset belly feel better though!

I don't think burping is a sign of morning sickness to come - just a normal sign of pregnancy. I had almost no morning sickness with my first but I burped constantly (it was so annoying and gross). With this pregnancy I'm super sick all the time but no burping.  Just goes to show... Every pregnancy is different!

Congratulations! I am experiencing all of the same symptoms, but not the burping Haha Welcome to the board!

Hi Cc- I'm in NY- Queens, specifically.  How about you?

 And I'm not burpy, but I am farty & it's ridiculous!

Hi! Lower westchester... Is this your first? When's your EDD?

fishy24

Yes, it's my first!  You? My EDD apparently ranges from 12/10 to 12/13 depending on which site I use.. But the estimator on Fertility Friend (where I tracked my actual cycle) says 12/10 so I guess I'll go with that until the doc lets me know.  How about you?

Congrats and welcome! I think they are just two different symptoms of pregnancy, not related.

Same! FF has me at about dec 10, I think I ovulated around 3/20 but I'm not sure bc I didn't use sticks or anything... It's my first and my biggest craving is hot sauce! Besides feeling drained and waking with a terrible headache I'm doing ok-- how about you?

I bought an OPK but never ended up using it because I thought you really had to start on CD5 (like the instructions said) and I just wasn't home to use it that day. I actually would like to give it to someone and have a friend at work who is trying- but how do I give it to her and say "oh, i just don't need this"??  But otherwise, what a waste of $30!  Of course I also had signed up for a year of FF because there was a special.. i guess i'll use their pregnancy site but I think the boards here are better. Oh well- never been so happy to waste money!  In any event, FF had me ovulating on the 18th and another app I'd used to just track my period after I went off the pill had me ovulating on the 17th.  I assume I conceived around that weekend.

It's strange- I'm really not having any cravings yet and I almost have more energy than usual, at least when I first get up.  But I'm finding that if I don't eat on a regular schedule, I get a little dizzy and spacy feeling.  I was away last week and with the holiday this weekend (Passover for us), I just haven't been on my 'normal' schedule.  I am really interested to see how I feel this week.  I can say that boobs are absolutely killing me.  I've been sleeping in a soft, wireless bra and find that as long as they're supported, they're ok.  It's crazy- mine are pretty small and I have NEVER "needed" a bra.  I'm off to buy more soft bras later today!  

 Have you told any family yet?  We told our parents and my brother & SIL, as well as my aunt and uncle who are as close to  us as my parents.  However, my aunt is pushing me to tell my cousins.. I hadn't planned on that, it's still so early.  I don't know what to do.  Don't want to offend my aunt but feel like now we've told SO many people (it feels like a lot because I have stepparents!) These are all people who would find out if something sad happened, but still, it feels like too many! 

Ah- this is a book- sorry!

Fishy24,

I had only signed up for the free FF although I thought about doing the year (until it happened!) I have a friend who is trying to conceive now and anxiously awaiting the "non-arrival" of her period... As for my symptoms they have been coming and going. My boons go from hurting to not and I usually get slightly nauseous in the afternoon or evening and not in the morning. I will say my boobs have grown for sure but not sore enough to warrant wearing a bra to sleep. My eating has been strange... I don't really ever have an "appetite" I simply eat bc I know I should. When I do, I always want hot sauce... We have told my mom and a very few close friends bc it is so early...but people are pushy!!! And I feel like its bad to lie when people have known we were going to start trying...it was rough last night when for a friends bday I wasn't drinking and had to say I had given it up for lent. Needless to say people are suspicious. I really dont want to say anything (to the general population ) until I hear a heartbeat. Oh, I also took a 2 hour nap today midday (with Easter company over my moms) and I felt amazing after!! Wondering how I'll feel this coming week! Keep me posted and good luck!
