MemberIn terms of exercise, I’ve been going to the gym and using the arc trainer (basically a cross between an elliptical and a stairmaster, kind of) and just going pretty easy on it/trying to make sure my heart rate doesn’t get too high. I will probably also do yoga soon. I used to be really into jump roping, but have given that up.

How many DPO were you when you got your BFP (if you were tracking?):
I have no idea! I just had a miscarriage in March at 6 weeks and got a BFP 3.5 weeks after I stopped bleeding.
How long did you try before your BFP?
Wasn’t really trying. DH and I only had two chances to BD because he was out of town on business most of the month! I was convinced I was pregnant again. Doctor sent me for a beta with the results coming in at 59. She thought I still had remnants from the miscarriage and ordered an ultrasound showing only a thickened endometrium And told me my hcg was just slow to drop. Went to visit DH for two weeks and when I came back my hcg was at 30,040 I almost fell out of my seat because I was getting so frustrated wondering i wasn’t getting my period!
Do you have any kids yet, or is this the first?
Our first!
Any symptoms yet?
breasts swelled up immedietely, constantly hot, and incessant sneezing. Oh, and around the time I would have expected my period (which I couldn’t quite because of the miscarriage) I spotted and cramped for a few days.
ETA: those were early symptoms. Breasts still swollen, still crampy occasionally, moderate nausea and fatigue are what I’m dealing with most now..
What are you most excited about?
experiencing each day of pregnancy and meeting our LO!
What are you most nervous about?
Another miscarriage, although I am optimistic since I didn’t make it far enough to see the heart beat in my last pregnancy and I reached that milestone today! Baby measuring at 7 weeks 6 days with a heart rate of 176 bpm 😀
What will you miss most while pregnant?
Probably caffeine. Trying to take it easy on the caffeine.

MemberMemberMemberMemberMemberAnother sad post. Found out today at my appt that I have a blighted ovum—gestational sac but no baby inside. Wasn’t ready for this since my levels based on my blood test last week indicated that all was well. I am bowing out of these boards now, but I wish you all happy and healthy pregnancies.
MemberI’m starting to get paranoid because other than sore boobs here and there I still have no symptoms. Anyone else feeling almost completely normal? I won’t be six weeks til Sunday. I’m nervous bc my hubby can’t make my first apt and won’t be there for me if we get bad news :/

i went through this in march.. Started bleeding at 6 weeks and went in for an ultrasound where they could only see a sack. sending good thoughts your way.
MemberThanks everyone, I really appreciate it.
MemberMy doctor advised that DH and I wait at least one cycle before trying again…we weren’t trying but we weren’t preventing and now I’m pregnant again with no cycles in between- so it can happen! And I’ve heard from multiple sources that you’re more fertile after a miscarriage.. Not sure if this is true but we were successful. I know you guys will try again for your lo when the time is right for you! <3
