Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)

HERE, just plug in your last period date (LMP) and you can see your estimated due date and exactly which week you're in currently.....

I have already done that. It says I am in my 4th week, with an expected due date of October 30, 2007. A little Scorpio...

Then you’ll probably get your order in about two or three weeks... because nothing is going to show up before then, and I wouldn't want you getting unnecessarily worked up over it....

Two or three weeks? That feels like an eternity. It means I have to endure this school schedule for much longer, and they say the worst of the flu season hasn't even hit yet😢 Is it even possible to take medical leave until then? I am at a loss... Does anyone know a reliable private pediatrician who practices around the Vineyard area?

You could probably get the scan done sooner... though they might not schedule you for an ultrasound right away.
Give him a call, lay out the whole situation, and just see what he says...

I’m planning on heading over to the Vineyard, but I have no clue which of them handles private appointments....

And how far along are you? I think I will give them a call and ask. Goodness, my brain feels completely fogged up. Perhaps I am asking foolish questions, but I feel as though I don't know anything anymore...😍

I know that feeling all too well... I’m 33 weeks along myself, but looking back at my very first posts, I sound just like you...🙂
Even though I was absolutely over the moon about being pregnant, I was also terrified and had a million different questions and uncertainties swirling around in my head... but you have time. Just take it slow and you'll figure everything out eventually..

If there's anything specific on your mind, just ask... that's exactly why we're all here.😘

You should be able to see something on the ultrasound in about a week 😍 ...... you'll get that first photo with the little dot 🤣 ........ God, just thinking back to when I was obsessively waiting for that tiny little speck to show up on the screen... and now? Now I'm stuck shopping for those maternity belly bands to help hold everything up (honestly, they are so incredibly unflattering 😢) because I am carrying everything so low right now. 🤣

But they're practical 👍

First comes the comfort of gold, I suppose...😉 I just really hope they don't carry a ridiculous price tag.😬

Huge congrats, rustyorca15!!!! 😁😁😁 🙂

I know Dr. Eljuga works over at the main hospital and runs a private practice too.
Anyway, go ahead and enjoy yourself—hopefully I’ll be joining you guys sometime soon! 😉

Thank you so very much for the congratulations and for providing that information. I believe I have heard of Dr. Eljuga before. Thank you once again... 😘

I'm pretty sure there's an Eljuga medical clinic somewhere 🤔

That’s exactly where I’ll be heading! Honestly, the pediatrician there is absolutely wonderful.

It does exist; I actually managed to find their website. In the meantime, I have been speaking with a close friend who has navigated this entire process twice before. I have decided to schedule an appointment with her gynecologist... everything seems to be moving forward steadily🙂

super 😘

rustyorca15 said:Everyone, I simply couldn't contain my anxiety any longer and ended up taking a test last night around 11:30 PM. According to Clearblue, I am pregnant 😍 🙂
Yesterday marked the 28th day of my cycle. Is it possible that I am seeing this too early? Could there be an error in the reading? Should I perhaps purchase a different brand and try testing again...
I am actually PREGNANT!!!!

Honestly, they don't usually mess up like that... there's no way it'd show up this soon if it wasn't happening.

Welcome to the club!

Thank you, Richard Wilson17!!! 😘

I woke up this morning feeling quite paranoid. I’ve had some digestive issues since yesterday, which is always a primary indicator for me that my period is about to arrive. I am fully aware that I have to endure all these physical symptoms—feeling as though I'm certainly going to get my period, only for it to never actually show up—but I found myself genuinely frightened nonetheless.
Then, upon arriving at the office this morning, I realized I could barely keep my head upright due to how exhausted I feel. It seems as though my chronic fatigue has finally begun to set in, and I’ve also been experiencing some mild bouts of dizziness.
As for last night... my husband and I were lying in bed around midnight, and my stomach was just... completely empty. I was famished, truly ravenous. My dear husband got up and brought me something to eat, and I finished it all before falling fast asleep like a baby. 🙂
This pregnancy is quite an interesting journey 😍

If you're dealing with dizziness, try taking some effervescent iron supplements... I went through the same thing for a few days... felt like I was about to pass out...
