QOTW: Any cravings/aversions thus far?

jaytee16

Hi ladies!  Hope everyone is doing well!  Wishing you ladies all the best in 1st tri and I can't wait to see you join us over in 2nd tri!!

I officially hit 14 weeks today, ahhhh!!!!  It feels like such a huge milestone, I can't believe it's here!  I've been feeling pretty good, the babies must be growing like crazy because 1) I am so hungry all.the.time this week, and 2) I had some serious back pain and cramping/RLP the other night.  I guess if I'm housing two lemons, they gotta make space somehow!  Besides that, the headaches come frequently, but I really can't complain too much.  I'm hoping for some 2nd tri energy!  

QOTW: I go back and forth between sweets and salty snacks.  This week, ALL the snacks!  lol

I'm 14 weeks on Sunday, so I suppose this is my last first tri check in too! That is crazy. This feels like such a big hurdle to have overcome. Still 4 weeks until my next appt (2 week vacation during my normal 1/month appointment time). I have thought about asking for another appointment next week, just to hear the heartbeat... is that crazy/overbearing? There were no concerns at my 11.5 week appt but the next time I go in I'll be 17.5 weeks! 

@Ducky719- good luck with the NT scan! I tend to get yeast infections after I use antiobiotics for a UTI... it doesn't seem fair. Hope you feel better soon!

@jaytee16- thanks for running check in and congrats on moving to 2nd tri! 

QOTW: my cravings have been all salt. Soy sauce, specifically. One night, for dinner, I had squash sauteed in soy sauce because I was determine to satisfy my craving but too tired to go buy takeout. My sweet tooth has been surprisingly quiet (although if you give sweets I will eat all of them!)

Hi ladies!

No doctors appointments this week. I am going to Chicago for the Reproductive Immunologist on Monday (appt. is Tuesday). My first OB appt is Wednesday- which is the first day of the Fall semester. I can't believe how tired I am! I said I was going to do nothing this week- but I've been running around and I think it's just too much for me. I am already dreading next week since my calendar has 3-4 items each day. 

I'm also freaking out a little since the RI is putting me on IVIg infusions and the pharmacy said I was doing them once a week, at home with a nurse... My sister had them and she said they kicked her butt and she couldn't do anything afterwards. I just don't know how a teacher can take one day off a week for the next few months... (deep breaths, maybe it's not that often, or available on weekends)

QOTW: Totally craving sour cream- I add it to a lot of items, but mostly been having mexican a lot more often. I've even made my own sour cream based salad dressing so I can still have my cravings and eat healthy.

Hi Ladies!! Yay @jaytee16!! I'm heading over to 2nd tri with you, it's so exciting to make it to 14 weeks! Gosh time is flying! I'm with you on the sweet and salty snacks, being hungry ALL the time (I snack all day long...and night, lol) and the headaches. With the headaches I can't always tell if it's due to the pregnancy, allergies, or the super salty snacks. Otherwise, I feel great and a lot of energy most days! 

Good luck to all still in 1st tri, we will be waiting for you all in 2nd tri!

Hi ladies- I'm so happy to my moving over from the IF board! We got our BFP about two weeks ago after IVF #1. First beta 354, second beta, 5218! Our ultrasound is next week. I can't wait to see if there's one or two in there! Not many symptoms yet other than being tired, blue veins in my boobs, and having super weird dreams. I'm excited to get to know you all!

QOTW: Craving salt salt and more salt.

Aeml1985

Hey ladies I'm feeling pretty good at 9 weeks, only nauseated if I get too hungry (which happens often), 3 more weeks until my next u/s, thinking of getting a Doppler, the wait is killing me.
QOTW: really only craving/missing sushi; we're going to Vancouver next month and I'm not not eating all that deliciousness

Margritli

Hi all!

Congratulations on all the ladies moving on the 2nd trimester! So exciting!

I am 10w6d today. Still sick, but not as much as before, so I am hoping that the M/S is starting to let up. I am soo hungry, so it would be good if I could manage more than just a banana and some crackers soon! 

@jaytee16, I can take over the weekly check-in for the next couple of weeks if no one else can. 

QOTW: Cravings: Ovamaltine (the Swiss kind, of course)...go figure. Aversions: Pretty much everything else and definitely meat - yuck! Just the thought of it makes me gag.

Checking in here! 7wks TODAY! Still wrapping my head around the whole two in there thing. EDD is still April 10, but I have a feeling these babies will be March Babies.

No cravings or adversions yet!

jaytee16

@aliciafirewife - I'm 14w and it STILL hits me every so often that there are two in there!  lol.  I hope 1st tri is good to you!

@Margritli - thank you for volunteering, I appreciate it!  Good luck with the rest of 1st tri and look forward to seeing you on 2nd tri in a few weeks!

Congrats to those moving on to second tri, so exciting

I am 10 weeks tomorrow, eek! I am also done with PIO today which is so exciting! My first OB appointment is on Tuesday, so I'm excited for that!

I've had a lot more aversions than cravings, not too much sounds good. Only food for a 10 year old boy sound good to me (Pasta, Pizza, Chinese Chicken Fingers, Gatorade, etc.) I'm hoping that I feel like good and healthy food soon! I've been so exhausted lately so I'm sure not eating well hasn't been helping.

I'm 10w2d today. I recalculated and discovered that I'm a couple days behind what I thought, and my actual real DD is 3/18/15.

I'm excited for so many graduating to second tri! That is such an awesome milestone. And I'm very jealous!

I'm having a rough day. I still can't nail down a health care provider, and it's been 2.5 weeks since I've had an u/s and b/w, with no appts scheduled. I'm very close to going over the edge! At this point I have zero confidence in making it to term. This is not a good day. I know it will pass though. I'm just trying to get past some severe diarrhea and get my stomach somewhat normal.

QOTW: Any cravings/aversions thus far? My aversions are basically food. My appetite sucks. My cravings are frozen drinks of any kind: frozen lemonade, Slurpees, smoothies, etc.

@chucktgirl‌ I'm keeping all my crossables crossed for you and sending your little bean all the sticky dust! Good luck finding a dr soon!

8 weeks on Sunday and today I was released from the RE!!!  In 11 days I'll be an OB patient again! m/s started kicking in about a week ago and has been kicking my butt this week ....even waking me up at 2am to trick me into thinking I'd puke (no puking as of now....). Comes with the territory so I cant complain!

QOTW: I have an aversion to most food. Once I find something I can tolerate a day or so later it makes me queasy then too. Also too food doesn't really taste very appetizing anyways so I'm not interested in things for that reason too. I never thought I could live without at least a decaf coffee in the morning but I just realized today I haven't had one cup in well over a week! So weird!
