I can't figure out if I should put me updates here or in my blog...
but here it goes...

So it's official... I'm pregnant...
four weeks and three days
super happy...
I'm just so afraid something will go wrong
how do you get through the first three months without worrying too much?

For the last week I have had slight cramping and someone here told me that it is the egg implanting deeper in the wall, I really hope that is correct, I was worried that the pain was from something going wrong.

a friend of mine had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, I really hope i never have to go through that.
I have wanted a baby for so long, and now I have one (kinda) and I don't ever want to loose it.

I had booked flights to visit my parents but now I am not sure if I should go or not
I would be just 7 weeks when I have to fly and the flight is two hours (and then flying back 4 days later)
I have read that if it is not a high risk pregnancy you can fly in the first trimester but I'm just afraid to do anything that might cause a problem
I don't want to take any risks

I went to the doctor this morning and she took blood, I will get the results tomorrow
I walked in the door and smiled at her and she said "pregnant?"
her assistant looked very confused
I said "yes, and I feel it a lot already" and she said "yeah, swollen boobs"
I hope that no one else notices that!
we want to keep it secret until we are closer to 12 weeks

I have my first appointment with the gyn on the 16th of June, at 5weeks 6days.
so then I will know if it is high risk or not
she wanted to give me an appointment in July because she said it is difficult to see anything on a scan before 6 weeks, but I wanted to see her before my trip...

fingers crossed everything will be ok....

so, due AF today or tomorrow, been having some cramps for three days now... but no sign of AF.
Weird, normally as soon as I feel it, it's there.
but now after three days, still no sign...
thought all hope was lost for this month... but now not so sure...

June would be month number 4 for us...

My first symptom was dizziness. In the very first week even. Good Luck!

I also have no idea what half the things you write mean... I don't know the lingo. What is TTC and TWW? Sorry, people write these things all the time, but I have no idea what they stand for. They should make a cheat sheet page for us new moms.

Best of luck. I hope this is your month.

so, update... No BFP yet, but I'm glad that my cycle seems to be pretty regular after five years BCP. I've got a 27 day average.

I'm now on day 18 of my cycle, have had faint kind of period pains every day since day 12...
I don't know what that means, but hoping for good news!
Did anyone else experience anything like that?

This is our fourth month TTC
just have to get through the TWW now!
wish me luck

been sick this week, some kind of stomach bug I think, and my skin has completely broken out today - nasty!

did a HPT on CD23 which I think was 11-12 DPO and it was negative (the day before yesterday)

but maybe it was too early to test?
one more week before I expect AF.
