~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How are you feeling physically/emotionally?

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?

Any PgAL crazy you want to add?

I hope everyone has a great week!

QOTW - As my candles are burning in my house, I'm wondering what everyone's favorite fall scent is.

kimmyberly26

Hey ladies.  I'm doing well this week now that I saw little squirts heartbeat.  It was 109 so I was a little worried but the doctor said that it can be completely normal at this stage in the game.

My next appt is in 2 weeks, right before we leave to go camping for the weekend.

 

QOTW - As my candles are burning in my house, I'm wondering what everyone's favorite fall scent is.

I love the smell of Pumpkin and nutmeg in the fall but then it makes me really hungry.

Hello! Thanks for starting this. My EDD is June 7th but that could very well change on Monday when I get an u/s at 6w2d. We shall see.

QOTW: Favorite candle scent is clean linen or during Christmas time I like anything that smells like a Christmas tree.

Hi @kimmyberly26.  Thanks for running the check-in!

My EDD is June 11th.

This week has been the first I've had with any symptoms (mainly bad fatigue) but I keep reminding myself that it's a good sign that LO is ok in there.  So far so good!

PGAL brain comes and goes...my first appointment with the doc isn't until the 28th so I'm getting anxious waiting.  It might be a good thing though because I will see my LO at 8 weeks then again at 12w and 16w.  I think the more check-ins I get the less my PGAL crazy I'll be. 

QOTW: I love anything with vanilla or sandalwood.  It gives the house a warm and cozy feel.  Perfect for the fall! 

ETA: grammar

My due date is June 7. My first appt is Monday at 6w2d. Praying for a nice heartbeat.

My symptoms started at seriously implantation. I have been so nauseous and tired.

Last night I had a sharp pain really low in my pelvis, and it has me nervous. 2 days until I see this baby.

I usually like something like apple scented candles in the fall. Now, everything makes me want to puke.

Hi thanks for starting this. My name is Jenn, my edd is June 10th!

I have been feeling very tired, hungry, and my boobs hurt!

I don't have my first appointment until the 28th of October. I can't wait to see our little bean!

My favorite candle scent the fall harvest from glade right now...

kdemun

My due date is June 12th tentatively. My first appt isn't for a couple more weeks.

Feeling a little tired but overall great. No symptoms but im trying to not have that worry me as I had no symptoms with my son. Slight cramping and super dry lips.

I'm not a fall lover so my scent is citrus to try and keep the summer alive!! ;-)

lsuhoneybadger

Hi everyone! I'm Sara - EDD is June 11. I'm feeling pretty good after seeing my RE yesterday. HCG was 10,070 - so that seems good and on the US we saw a yolk sac (regularly shaped this time) which was positive. My progesterone came back low so he started me on supplements.

I'm just focused on getting past 7 weeks, when I lost my last pregnancy. DH is out of town for a week so I will have some down time for knitting and reading, which will be nice so long as PGAL brain doesn't take over! Then I'm flying across the country next week for a wedding, so the time should fly by until our next US. FX we see a healthy heartbeat then.

I'm sitting here with a caramel pumpkin candle from Target...love the smells of fall!

MollySm

Hi everyone.  Thanks @kimmyberly26 for doing the check-in.  It's great to have you all to talk to as we all try and keep ourselves sane through the first trimester.  My fingers are so tightly crossed for everyone!  

My EDD is June 20th.  We'll see if that changes with my first ultrasound.  

I have sore boobs, nausea on and off, gas pain, some light cramping, and I'm exhausted.  Emotionally, I just feel really cut off from the idea of this.  I can't picture having a baby in June.  I can only picture my December baby.  I'm hoping this is just because it's still so early and I don't feel confident about this.  I'm hoping if I start to get good ultrasounds as things progress that my mind will be able to move on  to the prospect of this baby.  

I had my confirmation appointment yesterday at 4 weeks.  My first u/s is scheduled for the 25th (I'll be exactly 6 weeks then).  1 day down, 13 more to go...

QOTW - As my candles are burning in my house, I'm wondering what everyone's favorite fall scent is.  I don't really love scented candles.  I don't like overpoweringly sweet smells.  I do like the smell of fall air, bonfires, and Christmas trees, so those are I guess my favorite fall smells, even if they aren't candle smells.

Hi everyone. I don't have an official due date because I was having a crazy long cycle. Based on when I got my BFP, I'm between 5 and 6 weeks (I was testing weekly because of the long cycle and got my BFP 2 weeks ago today).

As far as physical symptoms, I'm having fatigue, sore-ish boobs, heartburn, some gas pains and constipation (lovely). Emotionally, I'm a mess. I had some spotting episodes yesterday that I posted about. My OB sent me for levels and wants me to follow up with her on Sunday. I go from one minute thinking everything is fine, to a sobbing unconsolable mess the next. My poor 4 year old keeps asking me when I'm sad and I tell him I have a headache. He keeps telling my DH that he doesn't like when I cry, which makes me even more of a wreck.

My first appointment and ultrasound are scheduled for Tuesday, considering if everything goes well with my numbers.

As far as smells, I'm not a huge fan of candles but for fall I love anything pumpkin spice or apple spice scented.

Sorry for the long, rambling response, I had a lot to get off my chest, only 3 people IRL know I'm pregnant again, so I have limited people I can shared this stuff with.

Laurelyn2012

Thanks @kimmyberly26 for starting this.
My EDD is June 10th but that is just a guess since I didn't have a cycle after my MC.
I have my first appointment on Tuesday but that's just for a blood draw and to set up a dating u/s.
I'm trying my hardest to not let the PGAL brain get to me but I'm finding it very difficult to ignore.

My favorite scent in the fall is probably cinnamon. It just reminds me of everything fall.

MollySm

hjl050308 - I'm sorry you are having such a tough time of it.  Fingers crossed that your levels give you some sense of relief, and that the ultrasound on Tuesday confirms a healthy and happy pregnancy.  I know I feel bad being a mess around my 1.5 year old, and she has no idea what's going.  I'm sure it's much harder with a 4 year old around.  I'm happy to listen any time you want to talk about things - it's hard not having too many people know.  (((Hugs)))

hjl050308

@MollySm, thank you very much!

Preggochic86

Thank you for running this.

I don't have an official EDD but going off my last AF it's June 5.

My symptoms are fatigue, sore boobs, and the last three days nausea, which Is a whole new symptom with this pregnancy.

As for appointments I haven't made one. I know that's bad, but I'm just so scared and I know if I don't make one soon I can cause more harm than good.

Emotions wise it's complicated. I don't really know what to feel at times I'm excited and want to tell everyone, other times I'm scared, numb, worried about every little cramp or pain even though it's suppose to be normal. I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster and can't get off.

I told one close friend and she is so supportive and telling you all makes me more excited about being pregnant knowing I'm not alone. My H really hasn't said anything since I told him but I know he needs time.

My favorite candle scent is fresh linen, and gingerbread.

xnbride

I am new here. I hope you don't mind that I didn't do a formal announcement but I am superstitious about it.

I feel pretty good. I am mostly a bundle of nerves. I really hope that this little one sticks. I had some heartburn, fatigue and dizziness but for the most part I feel pretty normal.

No real updates because I just found out yesterday. FF keeps changing my cross hairs too so I have no idea when my due date is. It went from showing ovulation day at cd13, to cd18 and now it says cd22. I am confused! Feel free to take a peak!

My favorite scent is pumpkin spice. I love fall! Such a great time of year.

Hi Ladies!  Thanks for starting this, @Kimmyberly26! 

EDD: I'm pretty sure my EDD is 6/5.  But that might change

How are you feeling physically/emotionally?  I'm feeling pretty good.  Hardly any symptoms.  Sore bbs at night, waves of nausea...Emotionally I'm a little unattached.  I realized last night that not once have I actually envisioned a baby in my arms in June.  Everything is just very matter of fact right now and a huge "if"

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?  Yes!  Please think of me on Wednesday afternoon.  First u/s. 

Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  I'm having lots of anxiety about bleeding.  To the point that I'm even waking up 5-6 times overnight to check.  I had SO much bleeding last time (literally every day for a month - first mc a twin, then a SCH until I went into PTL) that it's really traumatized me.  I don't know when I'll relax.  I think if I see a ONE baby at the u/s it will help. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW - As my candles are burning in my house, I'm wondering what everyone's favorite fall scent is  I love pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg too.  Right now I have this Pumpkin Cider Donut candle from BBW that smells SO good!

bumpuser9343355

Hi ladies!  My EDD is June 7th.

So far I have been feeling okay.  I've been really tired and nauseous in the morning before I eat.  Boobs have been sore, been peeing a lot, and have started to have some food aversions and cravings.  With my last pregnancy I didn't feel many symptoms so I'm hoping this is a good sign.  Emotionally I have been doing well, actually better than I thought I would.  I did have a miscarriage dream last night which was not fun, but I have been staying busy and I think that has been helping.

I have my first appointment on Monday and I am definitely nervous as I never made it past my first appointment last time.  Hoping and praying everything will be fine and we will see a heartbeat this time.

Thanks for starting this, so glad I have a place to come and talk about all this with women who understand!  Good luck to everyone who has appointments this week!

ETA:  Forgot to add my favorite scent!  In the fall it is definitely pumpkin spice!

kmolsonmay5

Hi All!  Thank you for starting this.

EDD - June 2

I have had nausea --no puking, just feel like I could at any time. It started about a week ago and is much better this morning which of course has me majorly freaking out.  My PGAL brain kicked in full force yesterday and is terrible today mainly because the the thought of chicken no longer makes me gag. 

My first appointment is not until the 23rd.  I will be 8 wks and 2 days which is when I went in last time.  It is agonizing to wait this long.

I find it sort of sad that my PGAL brain makes me so cautious of everything that I don't have the joy that should come with a pregnancy.  I am hoping that lessens after my first ultrasound.I have found that all the great stories on the PGAL board have helped with this.

My favorite sent is pumpkin spice.....I love fall!

BruiserB

@kimmyberly26 Thanks for starting this!  Hello ladies - I hope we all have a nice, long stay here!

My EDD is June 8 according to Fertility Friend, June 2 according to LMP.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally?  Physically, just feeling tired, with some sore boobs and waves of nausea.  Way more boob soreness and nausea than with any pregnancy before, so hoping that's a good sign.  Emotionally, still anxious.  I've been this far before with a bad outcome.  I think both the hubs and I are scared to get too attached, but I somehow just have a better feeling this time.  I hope it's right. 

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?  I have my first ultrasound Thursday 10/17, followed immediately by my first OB appt.  I'll be 6w4d at the appointment.  

Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  I am so freaking anxious about this upcoming ultrasound and appointment.  The last time I was in the ultrasound room, the news I received was devastating, and I was all alone because hubs was at work.  I have to be alone again this time because he can't get out of class that morning - I was tempted to accept my mom's offer to drive down (she lives 4 hours away).  Oh, and I'm also wondering if I'll ever stop staring at the TP every time I go to the bathroom, waiting to see blood.  Stupid PGAL!

QOTW - As my candles are burning in my house, I'm wondering what everyone's favorite fall scent is. I love a good pumpkin spice or apple spice.  Think it's about time to bust those out again in fact!

ricecakes1216

Hey all! I really like this idea.

EDD: June 10

Overall I feel like crap! I have a long list of food that just makes me feel terrible. I'm ok with the feeling but it's a good sign.

I've been having more noticable cramps lately, which worries me. I had a lot of cramping with my last pregnancy and that ended poorly so my mind goes to the dark place.

My first u/s is the 23rd and it cannot come soon enough! I can't wait to see baby and know things are as they should be. Then I can tell the rest of my family and be excited!


QOTW - As my candles are burning in my house, I'm wondering what everyone's favorite fall scent is.

I love almost all fall scents. They are my favorite!

Hello!! Thanks for doing this check in!!!

Well our EDD is June 19. Had blood work done Fri and will go back Mon and Wed. Since I am almost 40 Dr wanted to make sure to progesterone and HCG is ok.

We found out on Thursday. Super excited but scared at the same time. MC at 11 1/2 weeks back in February so will be nervous until after first tri is over.

We just had an appointment a week ago with the Dr to talk about infertility treatment. Was suprised when we were pregnant but super excited.

I love anything pumpkin, apple or spice flavor this time of year. I don't however have any candles. Might have to get one.

Thanks again for the check in and congrats ladies!!!

Carriebear22

Hello Ladies! My date is June 19th and this will be our first. Our loss was on march of this year at 6 weeks. Only 4w2d currently so very early. I have been feeling cramps for nearly a week now but I was reassured that is ok. Knowing That with the last time i had no symptoms at all and couldnt turn a home test (only blood test), and this time around ive got the cramping symptom and had 6 positive home tests (yes, 6 home tests, its reassuring to see the line get darker) makes me feel more confident about things. Wont get to see anything until first appointment on 11/12, this is going to be the longest month ever!!! Will feel so much better once I see heartbeat.

My fave fall candle scent is nearly anything with caramel (salted caramel, pumpkin caramel latte, caramel apple). One drawback, the smell always makes me hungry for something sweet!

chrystalgriffith

Hi ladies my estimated due date based on my last period is June 6th 2014 . How have I been feeling emotionally and physically ? Well this week been having neasea sore boobs headaches dizziness and cravings forfruits . Emotionally I'm a basket case I will. Be confirming my prdgnancy on October 16th and hoping to get positive news.

MrsBHM

Hi Girls! Happy to see so many of us here! It reassuring to know other women are doing this with me, so to speak. My due date based on my LMP is June 8th, which is exactly a year to the day after my miscarriage at 5 weeks. I'm praying that on that day next year we will be happy instead of remembering a sad day. I had my first appointment last week and saw the gestational sac and yolk sac, but it was still a little early to see the baby. We scheduled a second ultrasound on Friday to see the baby and I pray, the heartbeat too. I'm feeling pretty good. Exhausted, my boobs hurt like crazy, and I have waves of pukiness but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Looking forward and not so patiently waiting for our appointment on Friday. You all will be in my prayers as we trudge through these looooong pregnancies together!

Kinipela7

Hello!  I know I'm in the wrong month, but I have been here for awhile now and don't want to leave.  Let me know if anyone has a problem with that.  My EDD is May 20th.  I had my ultrasound on Thursday and I am proud to say that I have passed my loss mark and we saw the baby with a nice strong heartbeat.  I feel like I can breathe a little bit, however I do get nervous when I feel some cramps.  My next appointment will be on November 7th at 12 weeks, the day before we fly to FL to go to a wedding.  

QOTD:  Vanilla!

katiebartton

Hi everyone!!! Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend!

EDD: 6/1 based on LMP 5/30 based on my dating ultrasound


How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I'm physically feeling pretty bad. After sleeping 12 hours last night I still felt the need to take a nap today. I'm attempting to not take zofran today and so far I haven't gotten sick!

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I go back to the OB in 3 weeks which feels Like forever!!!


Any PgAL crazy you want to add? I'm feeling pretty good today. We just had a dating ultrasound yesterday and saw a heartbeat of 145 bpm. Trying to stay positive,


QOTW - As my candles are burning in my house, I'm wondering what everyone's favorite fall scent is.
I love any of the apple pie or sugar cookie scents. I like the baked good smells!

samm1983

EDD 6.5.14

How are you feeling physically/emotionally?  nausea & horrible headaches.  I'm fine with having symptoms, but the only pregnancy that I didn't really feel this way with was DS.  The other 7 I felt like crap.  So, to me it feels like a bad sign.  :-(

Any updates or appointments? 2nd u/s is next Friday.  Praying this baby has grown and still has a strong heartbeat.

QOTW - Pumpkin!

RoccoStar

@kimmyberly26 - I'm so glad that you started this! My EDD is June 9th right now, sorry - I know I'm a day late to the party! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Emotionally not too bad, I have some go to statistics that I'm reciting in my head whenever pgal brain tries to start up. Physically I've just been exhausted, I hope the baby wants to sleep this much when it arrives. Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? We saw the yolk sac two Fridays ago to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. Next Friday we go in to hopefully see the heartbeat, and then we would be released into regular care. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ QOTW - My favorite fall scent has to be pumpkin, just had some pumpkin ice cream last night

ASHandANDY2025

Hi, my name is Ashley, I've never done this group thing but my bump.com to do list tells me to connect with other moms to be for support, and believe me. I need support. My husband and I just lost a baby in June and didn't realize that getting pregnant again was going to be that easy, but it was. I turned 5 weeks on Friday. We are so nervous and scared. Tips on how to stay positive, and what everyone felt @ week 5 would be great. Every time my body changes just a little I think something is wrong. I think I'm slowly losing my mind. Lol

ASHandANDY2025

Oh and EDD June 14, 2014. First dr.s appt. is this coming Thursday
