I finally got my BFP and am sooo excited (and admittedly a bit scared). We already have a complication - overactive ovaries. Which means they are dumping fluid into my tummy cavity. I had to have minor surgery to drain it today. I am now ordered to rest and drink lots of gatorade (yucky stuff). I have had some minor cramping all week, but since I found out I am actually pg, I worry about the cramping - I am so afraid of loosing this baby. My progesterone levels are high though wich is a good sign. Sorry for the slightly rambling post, thanks for listening to me.

You absolutely can join us! CONGRATULATIONS! Sorry to hear you're already having a hard time. Hang in there! Hopefully it will pass! Just so you know, cramps cam be a very normal early pregnancy sign. When I got pg with my DD I had cramps so bad I was sure I would start my period any second, I even went & bought a heating pad! I also had cramps the first few weeks with this pregnancy!

Thanks! Hearing that someone else has had the cramping thing and been ok really helps - i know it is normal; sometimes the doctors can talk all they want, but someone who's been there means a lot more.

Cramps are completely normal, nothing to worry about, I would be worried if you DIDNT have cramps. I had them worse than AF cramps for the first 6 weeks and it drove me nuts. For about 5 of those weeks I kept constantly thinking my period was coming any day now. They slowed down in the second trimester for me, but still come here and there, nothing for me to be concerned about.

Congrats on the pregnancy

Thanks for the warm welcome. So far everything is good - my beta count (whatever that is) went from 42 to 192 (it's supposed to double everythree days) and my progesterone is over 100. I am soo excited and amtrying hard not to worry over every cramp (even if some are kinda sharp)

Thanks again to everyone!
