October 2012 Babies

Yeah, I've had some fleeting nausea, the taste in my mouth (thank you baking soda mouthwash, only thing that gets rid of it), cramping, being tired, mildly sore boobs, and being hot flashy. Edit: Also the sense of smell! Argh how could I forget that. I want to stick a lemon up my nose or something. Last time at 6 weeks like a switch morning sickness hit and I had food aversions so I'm trying to eat really well (lots of vegetables) until that happens.

Congratulations!
I found out the day after AF was due and was a definate positive that came up straight away but not as strong as the control line. I have a 24 day cycle tho, so thats why Ive found out earlier than u!

You can make tickers in lots of places. Lilypie is where I got mine, there's also baby gaga and others. They usually have little walkthroughs where you pick the background and choose the date and stuff. Then you go up to profile (I was clicking on the wrong one, but it's the one right above 'new topic') and paste the BB code (there are several formats you can choose but forums usually use BB code) and there you go.

Hi ladies!!! CONGRATS TO YOU TOO!!! YAY FOR OCTOBER BABIES!!!

Got my BFP on 12dpo (Monday) and DH and I are super excited!!! Also have an underlying sense of anxiety as is normal I guess - wonder when it will subside a bit!? My BT results show my HCG levels are doubling as expected - stoked. Have a 6 week scan booked too. It's all on!!!

Due 3rd October (so Im approx 4 weeks, 3 days?)

Looking forward to chatting to you on our journey together...!!!

Hi Beachoholic and congrats!
I hear you on the anxiety. I got an 8 week scan last time because I'd had a previous missed miscarriage. I doubt I'll get anything like that this time. We'll see once I actually nail down a midwife! I do think I'll buy a doppler this time though. Not like it's good until nearly 12 weeks, but it might be fun for DD to listen to the baby.

Kellz I work, though only 3 days a week. I went back when DD was 4 months, as though I was entitled to more, I'd basically started the job the day I got a BFP with her. I think this time I'll take maybe 7 months. The idea of less pumping at work is appealing, but the longer I stay away the more bored I'll get! I really like working part time. Just enough time at home and at work to fully appreciate how hard/rewarding both of them are. Two of my coworkers are out on parental leave now, one is taking 9+ months and the other is taking 7. I think they are both due back at work in April.

Thanks M4B! No ms yet, but Ive never had any at all before either. Getting a bit tired but am permanently sleep deprived so not sure its preg related or not! No other symptoms at all yet either, but thats not unusual for me. 3 preg tests, no af, and a blood test all confirm I am utd tho, lol!

OMG Beachoholic!!!! Big congrats hun!

If you want too, come into the FB IVF group and let everyone know your news!! We all LOVE hearing the natural miracle stories! You brought a big smile to my face this arvo when I read this! I wish you a happy & healthy 8 months chick xo

Congratulations Jane! When are u due? Ive not got any symptoms at all yet.
Will attempt to start a list of names/due dates etc, but Im a bit computer-illiterate, so may need help!

Thanks for setting that up Kellz! I'm so jealous of all you no MS people. Mine started at 5 weeks on the dot. Started at 6 weeks on the dot last time so I was hoping for at least another week. No food aversions yet though, that was the worst last time. I wasn't able to eat any vegetables for 3 months.
I've been trying gingery drinks but DD keeps begging them off me.
MS is so much easier with no kids. I'd like to be sitting on the couch watching TV but I've got to go out and push DD around on her bike and stuff. Oh well!

Hi Jane and congrats!
