PGAL weekly check in

Hey ladies, how are things progressing?

What pregnancy milestone are you most excited about this week?

ToneGirl

Good morning!  I just got news on Friday that my progesterone increased pretty good (still low but good jump for me as I have very low progesterone) so that was good news.  They also said they want to do an early ultrasound so I will be getting that next Monday so the milestone I'm most excited about is just making it through the week.  Anxious to see if things are progressing.

my first ultrasound is this week! I can't wait to hear the heartbeat.

I hit 10 weeks wednesday, so double digits.  Other than that, it's a quiet week here.  Heard the heartbeat on the doppler at 8w4d, and a few times since then.  Next dr's appt isn't until 12 weeks.  I still have to make it to 13 weeks to be "safe" I think, having had a 12 week loss in the past.

I was queasy yesterday pretty excited about it but not sure if it's pregnancy related or my food choices lol. Feel fine today, my boobs are still super sore but I imagine that is the progesterone supplement doing that. I have my second ultrasound on Thursday (I might move to Wednesday) and I am terrified. I feel like last time we had cardiac activity start it stopped on the next scan, I realize I was measuring smaller then and things were progressing more slowly and all that but it doesn't change that fear. I truly hope we have a real audible hb this week. I tried my home Doppler, yes I know idiotic but I had to try it and couldn't get anything. Faintly picked up my own which was funny because I got all excited for a minute then realized it was most likely just mine.

Still stuck in that holding pattern

Super nervous today. At my last ultrasound everything was great and he did find a subchorionic hemorrhage (aka hematoma, subchorionic bleed, chorionic hematoma, etc etc) and I started bleeding bright red last night. And very light cramping. Currently on bed rest until my OB is out of surgery and can tell me what to do.

Just so nervous. I want to have another US just to make sure the heartbeat is still in the normal range. Ugh.

Hope everyone else is progressing along nicely!

No update. Still no sore boobs but lots of exhaustion and the smell of my garbage can made me heave last night.
Will hit 6 weeks on Wednesday. Choosing not to see a dr until almost 8 weeks means I'm just kind of hanging out for a while

lablover920

6w2d and the nausea has started and the exhaustion is real! Don't see the doc until 8w3d so just waiting for the next two weeks

I turn 10 weeks tomorrow. Most of my losses were around the 6-7 week mark. So i am feeling a lite better. Still will feel so much better to see the 12 week mark. Not far off. Then i will feel okay telling others.

Turned 7 weeks Saturday and 5/20 cannot get here soon enough. First ultrasound we couldn't see much but we did see a flicker and a strong heart rate but I'm still nervous. Super nauseous and queasy last two days. No Bueno. Other than that and the fact that I am hungry all.the.time.... It's pretty quiet.

mellybelles

I'm 9 weeks today!!! I get my second ultrasound in 2 weeks which I am dying for since my symptoms are starting get better ( I'm happy but it makes me nervous at the same time). We saw and heard hb last week at 8 weeks 1 day it was very exciting!

Just had my first appointment with my OB. My RE released me last week after a good ultrasound and heart beat. I'm 8 weeks today. My losses have been between 6-10 weeks. Once I get past that I MIGHT relax a bit.
Just did more blood work and got all the papers together to do all the 1st tri testing. I'm an AMA so lots of poking in the next few weeks. But sitting tight for the next month, just like a regular risk pregnancy I guess. It makes me nervous.

Hopefully a good week for all of us!!

On Wednesday I'll be 8 wks, which will be huge for me. I bought these belly stickers to put on your belly and document your pregnancy. I've been waiting over a year to use them. The first sticker is 8weeks, so I cannot wait to plop that thing on my bloated belly and have DH take a picture. We are also looking forward to telling our family this weekend. It'll be so nice to share in our excitement with them.

nik6499

I never did anything cute like that before I wish I had

felicita11

9w4dtoday and feel much better (which of course causes panic).  Still a little nausea, but it's never been that bad. ::knocks on desk::  No appointment for another two weeks, so I am crossing my fingers and toes that this peanut is ok!  First baby, first pregnancy, so I really have no idea what to expect!

Hi ladies! Joining the PGAL group

Oh man I wrote 3 paragraphs and it only saved that one sentence! The gist: I had three losses inbetween my 4 year old and this pregnancy. I am 5 weeks. My OB says this one is looking good because my progesterone is rising normally, and that hasn't happened in the past.

Felling a bit nauseous and so tired! Boobs are sore! All that extra progesterone will do it

lmspielman

Hi everyone - I am 6 weeks pregnant, after experiencing a MC at 9 weeks in February. I went into the doc last week and the US was sort of inconclusive/too soo to see much, so I'm going back in two weeks. A little antsy as my last pregnancy, the embryo didn't develop beyond 6w4d. 

I've been nauseous and boobs are so sore! Hoping that's a good sign. Best of luck to everyone.

Nausea has decreased the last couple days and my first ultrasound is on Wednesday at 8wks 6days. I'm nervous! Nervous! Nervous! The 8/9 week ultrasound is when I found out I had a MMC last time, so just holding my breath that everything is moving along like it should be.

I'm so happy you're doing this!! I started a blog and documented with elaborate chalk boards and photos last time. But with our loss at 14 weeks I'm really hesitant this time around. Show us your belly sticker photo when you do it!

nik6499

yes I wanna see!!!

vppittman

I had my 2nd U/S today. Each time I have been so nervous! Everything was great though. 8w3d heartbeat at 183bpm.

nik6499

That's so exciting!!

sbodman82

Looking forward to my first ultrasound!!! Im hoping f to hear a heart beat

koala1107

I'm 7 weeks today and have my first ultrasound tomorrow after a missed miscarriage in January at 9 1/2 wks. Praying to see a heartbeat but unfortunately my worry won't ease for another few weeks as last time we saw a heartbeat the first scan but none the second. This pregnancy feels different though and I'm cautiously optimistic. Hope to post some good news tomorrow! Prayers and good thoughts to all you ladies going through this too!

BostonBaby1

Had a great U/S. We measured 7w1day which means we lost another day but they aren't concerned. The u/s tech even hugged me after! There was a nice heartbeat at 159. It was music to my ears.

DH and I were hugging after in the room and I'm pretty sure he had a tear or two (he usually only cries "on the inside.") he said "I can't believe there is a baby in there!) so glad he got off work to be there.

I'm released to my MFM so I go in on Thurday (after a visit to my normal ObGyn.) it was interesting setting up the appointment when she asked me for the date of LMP. Having to tell her we had a m/c on 3/2 took me down a notch but I'm still very happy. I'm excited to have a more firm due date on Thursday but they are thinking 12/18-12/20.

laxdixdar

Nothing new here.... My first appointment is Friday, so i will finally have an official due date. I don't think i'll ever feel "safe" until i have a baby in my arms. And a more embarassing update.... i'm still poas'ing. 

SomedayInMyArms

Everything has been going well since last week. A little nausea and dizziness, but everything has been pretty mild. I am 9w4d today and have my first appointment with my actual OB on Wednesday since being released from my RE. We are going to listen to the heartbeat go over all the important things and hopefully have an in room ultrasound. I am praying everything goes well.

Good to hear positive updates ladies! We are going to make it to December and hold these sweet babies in our arms! I am so excited to finally be a mother!

Beckah31

I graduated today! Ok, it's just from the RE- but still! And no more pio after Wednesday when I get to switch to Crinone twice a day. Fun. But at least my backside won't be sore and itchy.
On a slightly sad note, today I found out Dos Equis makes this margarita beer stuff and after a sip of DH's I realize A) it's absolutely perfect I can only have a sip or two and C) all the best drinks seem to come out when I'm pregnant and I'm not sure why that is.
I'm gonna stockpile for January!

nik6499

@Beckah31 OMG so true!!!! I only found out I was pregnant when I did because we were having a board meeting. We like to drink at these and I had bought all kinds of new alcohol I wanted to try before and figured I should test first....... I took a couple sips of this mikes hard lemonade black cherry OMG it was phenomenal

glovebug

I have my second appointment tomorrow at 8wk6d and I wish hubby and I weren't sooooo nervous. Last time my blood pressure was high and the Doc was super worried...praying I can relax and get a good report. It's so excited to see people's later us that actually look babylike. Love all these good reports too. 

vmatt850

Dr called this afternoon and said everything I'm experiencing with the SCH is normal but he will be doing an ultrasound at my first OB appt which is next Wednesday. Is it next Wednesday, yet?! Just hoping for the best and a healthy heartbeat and measurements! I will be 8w3d so if everything goes accordingly, I can't wait to see how different our little speck looks.

Ugh. Just a ball of nerves until then, for sure.

CMDD

Found out DH won't be able to come to dr visits with me because theres no way he can leave work. So that's kinda sucky.

mamacloud

No news this week, since I'm in between appointments. Next appointment is next week, so looking forward to that and trying to stay calm in the meantime. We had a positive US last week(7w4d), but our loss occurred at 13w4d last time after a perfect 10w scan, so I'm still nervous.

tralalablah

New here, I'm six-ish weeks along, my appt with my midwife is not until 12 weeks, so I have some waiting to do.  I had my daughter Jan 2013 and a miscarriage before that.  I'm nearing the point where I miscarried before, so I'm trying to stay calm and hope for the best.

Charmndmom

First u/s tomorrow at 7 weeks. We are pretty nervous but also excited!

koala1107

Have my first ultrasound in 2 hours and am a nervous wreck. Can't stop crying ugh pregnancy hormones. I want good news so badly it hurts!

BostonBaby1

@koala1107 we are all with you sweetheart… I know this is an extraordinarily emotional time, just know that we are all praying that it goes well for you! (((Hugs)))

nik6499

@koala1107 I'm wishing you good thoughts!!!! Let us know how it goes
