Rant/rave/symptoms: last night I think I might have had my first food adversion though I'm sure it's too early. My dinner tasted of rot but my husband assures me it was fine. As a side note how do I even know what rot tastes like?
Questions for the Group: none yet.
GTKY: Tell us about your TTC journey: Two years ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I have been on all kinds of BC for it. Last April I got very ill with another cyst spent two months in hospital before it was removed. The cyst was so big that they thought it might be a tumor or a growth. Well to cut a long story short I had laparoscopic surgery on 2 June and was told afterwards to go home and start trying for babies. And here we are.
Edited because I can't count.

GTKY: Tell us about your TTC journey:
We started TTC right after we went to Disney world in March. I was already past my fertile time and didn't know it then. AF showed within a week. So I don't count that month as trying really. In April and May we just used my period app for when it was telling me I was fertile. Well.. It was wrong! I started charting and using OPKs in June. That was all it took. Actually knowing when I O'd. It probably helped that we were on vacation during my entire fertile week too. All I could think about was the sun and babies haha. When we got a BFP two days ago we were stunned. Still are actually.
The bump taught me so much!
What's new with baby (size, development): Appleseed
Whats something new you are doing to get ready for baby: trying to stay stress free, thinking about items to register for and makin baby room plans (I don't feel comfortable making it official until I see my dr.).
Rant/rave/symptoms: I'm so excited to be expecting my first but so nervous at the same time. My husband and I never dreamed I would get pregnant so quickly. My breasts and nipples have been sore for about a week and a half, I had my first food aversion at a restaurant 2!days ago, I've had minor nausea but no vomiting. I have also had some cramping that comes and goes. It only lasts about 10-30 seconds at a time.
Questions for the Group: Has anyone else experienced the cramping mentioned above? It's the only symptom that really makes me worry. I don't have any bleeding or anything else unusual, but the cramps can sometimes be pretty strong. They come on usually after I stand up, and don't last very long.
GTKY: Tell us about your TTC journey:
I have been married about a year and a half. My husband and I wanted to wait at least a year, and we wanted to plan around my schedule (I am a teacher). We wanted to TTC ideally between May and September to maximize my time off with baby. We officially started trying in May, and got a positive test in June. I always assumed it would take a while due to some other health concerns (hypothyroidism, overweight, issues wth my cycle from a young age). I am so excited and very hopeful that it will be a healthy pregnancy.
What's new with baby (size, development): It's an embryo now!
Whats something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Canceled my dental appt for tomorrow (replacing a couple new fillings)
Rant/rave/symptoms: No symptoms yet other than fatigue.
Questions for the Group: What are you reading right now? I'm reading Expecting Better.
GTKY: Tell us about your TTC journey: I was diagnosed with endometriosis in August. As a result, DH and I decided to move up our timeline from January 2016 to May 2015 knowing we may be unsuccessful on our own. We ended up getting pregnant on our second cycle. We are both surprised and ecstatic!
@J234 - I have been trying to walk at least 4 miles a day (not always all at once!) and I do body pump (weights) 3 times a week. I was told this was find as long as I did it before I got pregnant. I would stay away from any impact exercise and definitely take breaks when your body tells you too.
Trimester/week: 4w5d
What's new with baby (size, development): Still in there!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Trying to hold myself back from buying a million things right now!

Not much yet
Whats something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I think I'll probably be much more relaxed with #2. Hubby talked about getting room ready and I laughed. Baby won't really need a room till 6 months after. Our daughter was in our room at least that long. No reason to get rid of our guest room yet!
Rant/rave/symptoms: the norm. Queazy and kinda tired. Oh and low back ache after wrestling with getting a damn car seat out of MIL's car.
Questions for the Group: no questions yet.
GTKY: Tell us about your TTC journey:
I have Thin PCOS and After TTC for 2 yrs and a yr of acupuncture. We were going to do a round of IUI when I got my surprise BFP. Thats how I got my nov13 babe.
Finally stopped nursing in Jan and so my cycle finally returned I was a little worried we were going to need help this time. I am getting older (almost 35) and didn't want to wait around for two more years. Well surprise surprise. BFP this month. Super excited and looking forward to being pregnant again (ok not so much on the Queazy part...)

GTKY: Tell us about your TTC journey: we started in April of this year. The first month was a no go. The second month I bought the wondfo opk's and realized I was ovulating way later then I thought! I thought I was ovulating on the 7th of June, but it turns out I didn't ovulate until the 16th! I got my BFP on June 26 (super early!). Buying the opk's was the best decision ever! I think my hypothyroidism is what was effecting my ovulation and making it happen later then normal. Going by my last menstrual cycle my due date would be 2/28, but since I know when I ovulated, I know my due date is around 3/7 or 3/8!

GTKY: Tell us about your TTC journey: my DH and I have been TTC since August. We had an early MC on 4/17/15 and began trying again right away! Just got my BFP yesterday! I had my HCG and Progesterone levels done yesterday (my Progesterone was a very low 2.9 last pregnancy so it was something to keep an eye on for this time in case supplements were needed). My HCG was 988 and Progesterone is 18.5, so far so good! Am getting rechecked tomorrow and we will go from there! I had never gotten my AF since the MC so we will do an ultra sound next week to get me my EDD, but as of now it looks like it will be around 3/4/16! Am just over the moon about this rainbow

What's new with baby (size, development): still a poppy seed
Whats something new you are doing to get ready for baby: trying to really eat well, spending as much fun time with ds while I'm off this summer while we are just a family of 3.
Rant/rave/symptoms: definitely a quesy stomach. No vomiting, just feels off. I also have to pee all the time! I am a teacher and working on curriculum this week which means stuck in a room with 6 other women for 6 hours straight. I'm starting to worry the need to pee every 20 minutes is going to get noticed.
GTKY: Tell us about your TTC journey
Dh and I have waited for 2.5 years since ds. I was hoping to start sooner but my OB wanted us to wait 2 full years since I had had a Csection. Dh works all year but seasonally he works longer hours so we had to wait to make sure third trimester wouldn't fall during the fall (last time I spent a month on bed rest). We also wanted a spring baby since I teach and would have more cushion with summer vacations. We got our BFP during our second month of TTC.
What's new with baby (size, development): Poppy seed.
Whats something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Not much yet...Trying to potty train the toddler - I don't really want two in diapers. Actually remembering to take my prenatal vitamins, cutting back on coffee (boo!)
Rant/rave/symptoms: Just exhausted and bloated. And peeing a million times per day, which I'm sure is also because I'm drinking one million litres of water per day.
Questions for the Group:
I will be 6w1d at my initial consult (pregnancy confirmation, bloodwork, discuss hospital and process) and 7w for my first u/s.
I do know every OB office is different in terms of when they schedule appointments and what first appointments typically include.
What's new with baby (size, development): Poppyseed-ish!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing yet -- just excited that we told my parents, my siblings, and DH's sister! We couldn't keep the excitement in!
Rant/rave/symptoms: Just feeling a little bloated so far. Oh, and even though I'm only 2 weeks pregnant, all of my friends are going to know what's up IMMEDIATELY. Like, I would be surprised if they didn't figure it out this week... since we are big craft beer drinkers!
