Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
TMI: I had light brown spotting once on Saturday and once on Monday. I was having some back pain and weird pulling feeling on my left side by my public bone so my dr. Wanted to do blood work. My first draw showed my hcg level at 180 and progesterone at 16.5. They were happy with my progesterone and figured they caught me early in the pregnancy and that's why my levels were low. I was still having the weird feeling on my left side so they wanted to make sure my levels were rising appropriately. Got my results today and they rose to 433. I haven't had any more spotting since Monday but I keep having this weird feeling like right above my pubic bone a little left of midline. Like a pulling or a slight pinch. It doesn't hurt but it's a weird feeling. Anyone else have that? Maybe it's just a weird gas pain? I swear I wont relax until we see that HB.
When is your next appointment:
March 24th
GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be?
ummm oh man this is hard. Probably any kind of beef. I love steak and roast and ground beef. And potatoes. A meat and potatoes meal.
@peachykeen17 I had some cramping (and a small amount of very light brown CM on day AF was due). The cramping has died down a lot, but it switched between feeling like AF cramps and gas cramps. Dr. Google said it's common and is cramping from changes starting to take place to the uterus and cervix. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It was mild cramping, so I never worried too much about it.
Week:
Week 5
What's new with baby (size, development):
Appleseed (.25 inches)
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Nothing I wasn’t doing when TTGP. Taking prenatal vitamins, trying to eat well, rest, etc. Too early to start setting up the nursery…
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Well I was cramping for a while, but that has died down some. I also had some sleep issues for a week or two, but that is gone and I’m sleeping better now. The only current symptoms I am experiencing are 1) thirst which requires me to drink more water and thus go to the restroom more, 2) my hair is also getting oily sooner than it used to do, and 3) fuller/tender feeling breast.
When is your next appointment:
March 18th

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Not much...DH and I went to Target last night to look at baby stuff and got very overwhelmed very quickly! Why are there so many different types of bottles??
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
I had some cramping for a couple of days earlier this week but that seems to be gone for the most part, right now I just kind of feel bloated and like there is some pressure. At times I'm worried that not having symptoms is a sign that something is wrong but then at other times I'm grateful I'm not feeling sick...I work in food service so I'm afraid of dealing with all the smells in the kitchen!
When is your next appointment:
Not scheduled yet...calling my doctor tomorrow morning.
GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be?
Probably pizza...you can't get sick of pizza!
What's new with baby (size, development): This week comes the heartbeat!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Reading as much as I can :-) I am a researcher personality type.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: While I was in the shower today, my hands turned blue! Not the skin per se, but huge blue veins popped up all over. Dr. Google says this is normal but it was creepy and I wish someone had warned me about this. What other weird, creepy surprises are there going to be? :-)
When is your next appointment: March 18 is first ultrasound, and if it goes well, the fertility clinic will allegedly transfer me to a regular OB at that point.
GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be?
I want to say chocolate, but from a nutritional standpoint, let's say there is a potato bar.
