I think I'm joining you (and worried ? inside)

Hi ladies! I don't even know who here remembers me since I've been around SO long most of the ladies from when I joined are on PAL now, and I've been posting less on TTCAL and more on T-TTC lately, but I got a BFP last night and another this morning on a FRER. (Nice line, darker than any I've ever seen with my last 2 pg's) So it looks like as of now IUI#2 was a success!

I have my beta Friday morning, so I could use any good thoughts, prayers, sticky dust you can muster!

But of course I'm terrified because I've had a 5.5 week loss AND a c/p (more recently), and I'm feeling AF-like cramping off and on. Basically it started last night, right before the BFP. It's not bad, just worrisome! So please assure me that these cramps are normal!!! I really want to stay here for another 36-ish weeks!!!

Yay!!!! Of course I remember you and that's fantastic you got your BFP!!!! Congrats, welcome and H&H 9 months. And sending you dump truck loads of sticky baby dust!!! Party!!!

PS: Cramping is normal. I actually had cyclical cramps on and off around 5 weeks. It was almost like mini cramp contractions. And, I honestly can't count how many "I have cramps and I just got my BFP" posts I have seen since being on SAL. So, it is normal. Smile

First off I want to say Congrats!! I remember you

I had the same cramps and my doc. said that was normal, I know it's scary she said as long as there is no bleeding, then everything is ok. H&H

Yay!! I remember you from PL and TTCAL. Congrats! And the cramps are totally normal. I actually had really bad cramps in week 4 this time and was positive I was going to m/c. It turned out to be constipation ...

gallerygirl · March 2009

you may recognize more people here than you think!

Congrats!!! I am so happy for you! I also completely understand your nerves. I am holding out to pass my milestones, too, before getting too excited.

I have been having some mild cramping off and on, too. It is normal, your baby is just settling in. I can't wait to hear your beta numbers!!

I also just want to say, it is nice to see an "oldie" get a bfp.... CONGRATS!

perfectpeach · March 2009

albertabride06 · March 2009

Congrats, I do remember you. I hope that you have a H&H 9 months

Gregsbride22 · March 2009

Of course I remember you! So happy for you and sending you lots of good thoughts for your beta Friday morning!

pahokie · March 2009

I remember you, too! Congrats on a successful IUI!!! Cramps are very normal. I worried, but was able to clam myself by remembering that they ar normal and that I wasn't spotting.

I know it's hard, but remember your #1 mantra: Today I am pregnant and I love my baby.

NelyBelly · March 2009

*super sticky dust* to you! Hope you're here to stay.

crysbena · March 2009

Congrats Carebear!! (I admit I was lurking over here) I'm so happy for you!!

~*Jamie*~ · March 2009

Congratulations!!! That is such great news! Cramping is completely normal. I was always convinced I would start bleeding any minute after I got my BFP because I had so many AF-like cramps.

soontobemrs.boulet · March 2009

Welcome and Congrats! Remember that the cramping is very normal.

egankn · March 2009

Congrats CareBear!!

Here's all my spare sticky baby dust, GL on friday!!

Tonya_G · March 2009

OMG honey, I am SOOOOOOO excited for you!!! **does a happy dance all around SAL**

And no worries about the cramping- I was cramping all last week, it's gone now, and it was just my little bean snuggling in for the long haul- I know yours is doing the same!!!

When's your EDD?

snowflake_bride · March 2009

YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!!

I am so happy for you!!!!!!!! Cramping is totally normal ... it means that the little baby bean is burrowing in nice and deep and getting comfortable right now, and in a couple of weeks it will mean your uterus is growing. Of course, I am still freaking out about my cramping, so I know that is easier to say to someone else than really believe about yourself!!! I really hope that this is it for you though, I want to hang out with you for the next 36 weeks too!!!!!

nellieboo · March 2009

Congrats Carebear!!! I remember you, that is SO exciting!!!! Sending lot's of sticky baby dust your way. GL!!!

lplassman · March 2009

CareBear, I definitely remember you! I am so very happy for you! Congratulations!!!! And yes, cramping is definitely normal!

lovesinthehouse · March 2009

I didn't know you got a BFP, and I saw you over here, so I just wanted to say congratulations!!!

gwenypher7 · March 2009

Congrats!! I remember you! I'm so glad you got your bfp!!

As for the cramps - I had some pretty severe ones around 5, 6, and 7 weeks. I always thought I was about to get my period, but it turns out that they were implantation or gas and everything is fine.

After we saw the heartbeat for the first time, I started to calm down when I felt any cramps - and now I still notice them, but it doesn't freak me out nearly as much.

I think once you get past those first terrifying weeks (maybe after you see the heartbeat), you'll be able to breathe a little easier.

Good luck!!!
