A week ago...

A week ago we found out we were pregnant! In 9 days we'll have our first OB sonogram, and know if we have anything really growing in there... I vacillate between being totally hopeful and then not. My breasts continue to be extremely tender, kinda like having tiny razor blades in there. I have been wearing a sports bra to bed, which helps - thanks for that suggestion!

How far along am I, officially? How do you calculate the pregnancy when you've done medicated IUI? It's not like I ovulated on CD 14. Anyone know? I just know I'm 21dpo today.

Count back two weeks from when you O'd and use that date as you LMP. So if you are 21 dpo you should be 5 weeks pregnant.

Congrats!!

This is so exciting! I can't wait for my first ultrasound, too. And, I totally know what you mean about tender breasts. I know the wait is tough, but hand in there!

I wonder what it is about early pregnancy that gives one such strong symptoms? Some say it's the HCG, some say it's the progesterone...but I am baffled here.

Did you find that you had any symptoms with your HCG trigger or progesterone? I never have any so I wonder if I were to be come pregnant, would I feel much at all?

Just some random thoughts I've had on the subject for a long time.

It's so exciting to see you with a BFP! Congrats and please keep up with the updates! :))

I am not sure if I said congratulations yet, so, congratulations!!! I am so thrilled for you!! Sending you many good vibes for a happy and healthy pregnancy.I would calculate the pregnancy by considering the IUI your O date (i.e. 2 weeks pregnant at that date, so 4 weeks pregnant at 14 dpiui etc).

Ditto the five weeks.

Fingers firmly crossed for your sonogram.
