BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Getting to 10 weeks. Double digits just sound better
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Feeling a lot better the last few days. Nausea isn't as intense in the afternoon/evenings so I'm starting to feel like a real person again!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Ha...ummmm, all of them? I have such a sweet tooth. Mini snickers, milky ways, peanut butter cups, sour patch kids, starburst...you name it!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? first US march 16
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm just so exhausted all the time...
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Recently I'm all about reece's cups.
1. How far along are you? 6w3d. Being at the end of the month I feel so far behind everyone else!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 7w aka Friday we have another viability u/s!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: ooooh now morning sickness has actually arrived. Last week's queasiness was just a warning shot. At least I'm not wondering about pregnancy symptoms anymore, for a small silver lining
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Snickers bars or Butterfingers! I stocked up on sour candies and jolly ranchers to help with ms, so I think I'm about to be sick to death of those
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? March 16 is our first ultrasound. Can't wait!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Nausea, nausea, nausea.... I know its bad when I don't want my morning coffee or my favorite meals. But I'm happy I'm into my 7th week! I can make it 5 more weeks of feeling like this. It'll all be worth it!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? M&M's plain and peanut
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.
BFP 02-15-16 with our first
IT'S A BOY!!!
2. ultrasound tm to make sure he's growing properly
3. people who tell me to "stay positive" when I'm doubtful. you haven't experienced 2 losses so please don't keep telling me that. it isn't that simple.
4. any candy. ever. mainly sour and gummies but I legit like anything except black licorice.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Third ultrasound Thursday
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I've been measuring about two weeks behind so far, first ultrasound was just a gestational sac, second two weeks later was a bigger gestational sac and a yolk sac. Now I have my third a week later this Thursday, and if we don't see a sign of baby then it's not looking viable. I'm so so nervous.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Usually Reese's or salted caramel (anything salty + sweet) but lately I can't do sweets at all.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 8 weeks. I don't know why but it feels like a milestone. After that, my first OB appt w/US at 9+2.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My loss was a CP which in comparison to what others have gone through, seems like nothing. Because I'm well past where I lost that pregnancy, I feel myself starting to settle down and get excited and that makes me so nervous. It's almost like, I'm afraid to be happy now because if something does go wrong, I'll feel so dumb.
Also, I had some pink when I wiped a few hours after sex on Saturday. It was the first time we did it since getting a BFP and now I'm strongly against doing it again at least until my scan at 9+2. I feel bad but it's not worth the anxiety it caused.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Dark chocolate probably althought it really depends on my mood. Sometimes I want fruity, sometimes chocolatey.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16
IT'S A BOY!!!!
DS Born 10/16/16
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 3-16 for my doc appointment. I will be at the same place I was at my loss so really hoping for a good strong heartbeat! I feel like I am almost there and just can't wait to know.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Feeling good...starting to feel more human which is nice but scary because I want to know my baby is thriving and alive.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? peanut butter m&ms hands down!!!
TTC#2: BFP: 8-23-15 MMC: 10-29-15
DD 2: 9-15-16
DD 3: 9-16-17
Next milestone you're looking forward to? Getting out of the first trimester and feeling better! Also STILL waiting on first appointment -_-
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: No comment, keep on keeping on!
GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Chocolate, all day everyday. If it's not chocolate, it's sweet tarts or sour skittles.
2. next milestone you are looking forward to? my first OB appt this Wednesday eeee
3.rant/rave/positive vibes: I feel preggo but I'm not exhausted or sick like I was with my first two(both girls). so I'm feeling pretty sure that I'm having a boy this time but after reading all these common symptoms I feel a little nervous about this pregnancy. anyone notice that one gender was an easier pregnancy for you than the other? I've noticed that trend with my friends.
4. GTKY: what is your favorite candy? just about all. I loathe black licorice, not a big fan of milky ways. I tend to go for fruity/sour/gummi but lately all I want is kitkats. haha

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My ultrasound TODAY!! I am so ridiculously nervous, I literally have butterflies just thinking about it.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Still weirded out by the lack of morning sickness which is in no way the "norm" for me. Hoping my ultrasound can put my worry to rest.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? I am not in the candy mood lately. When I am though I am a sweet/salty girl, chocolate covered pretzels, butterfingers, ect.

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Today. I go to the hospital to have an ultrasound done and get some answers about my Hypothyroidism, which I didn't have with DD so I'm nervous and need to see a heartbeat today. I hope I do.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The Hypothyroidism diagnosis scared me because I read that the thyroid had pretty much everything to do with brain development. I'm just hoping to get the medication that is needed. I'm also seeing my GP today so if the hospital doesn't prescribe the meds, he will. He knows I'm pregnant and I'm anxious. I love him.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Peanut M&Ms for the WIN! And Starburst. For some reason I only crave Starburst when Spring is coming.
Edited for spelling.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? we have a doctors appointment today that i'm excited about (should get to see the baby) and after that, we have an anatomy scan on 3/25 at 12w.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm starting to feel like a semi-human again, so that's good. Some nausea to remind me that i'm only semi-human at the moment.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? My absolute favorite is Butterfingers, but it always gets stuck in my teeth, so i settle for a favorite of dark chocolate m&ms.
@jillianpardo My first pregnancy and last were completely different, as well as this. The other 2 pregnancies were both boys, so i'm not sure if gender makes a difference.
@housewifehobbyist So sorry! I hope you get into the dr and get some answers. Keeping you in my thoughts.
1. How far along are you? 9 weeks, 4 days
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Hitting that first trimester mark.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I had an ultrasound today and have officially made it past my first loss. My doctor found a strong heartbeat and the fetus was measuring closer to 9 weeks 6 days.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? I'll eat most chocolate, but my favorite is always the Reese's seasonal peanut butter cup - the egg, the christmas tree, the pumpkin, etc.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 12 weeks, my nurse hubby and our doc both say that's the magical "safe zone"
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: have seen our baby twice now, beautiful growth, strong amazing heartbeat and our doc is confident, so I'm getting that safe feeling finally *knock on wood*
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? ALL of the candy LOL
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Today, we are officially past finding out about our loss, and we heard the heartbeat on Friday so we are incredibly grateful. Our first full midwife appt is Friday morning, so looking forward to that!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Aside from my wicked morning sickness today (which is a little atypical, since it's been getting way worse for me at night as opposed to when I wake up), I'm just totally enamored with the fact that our little baby is the size of a Lego character and has hands and feet and working organs. It's totally surreal to me.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? At this moment, peppermints are the only thing I feel like I could stomach, but lately I've been hitting up our office candy drawer with Hershey minis and tiny Twix a little more often than is probably advisable!
*hugs*
1. How far along are you?
9w3d
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
12/13 week scan. We didn't make it past that point last time.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm freaking out constantly. With every twinge I feel my brain first goes to the most horrible explanation. Even when the obvious is a simple fix like going to the bathroom or stretching. The closer to mmc day, the more insane I'm becoming.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy?
Superfruit starbursts. Specifically the acai
@housewifehobbyist I was coming to send positive vibes and hate to see your update. Hope you get in quickly this morning. Thinking of you.
1. How far along are you? 6w2d (later in the month with you, @supernerd42
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? I think this Friday at my next ultrasound. I had my first at 5w6d. I was just totally underwhelmed. I know that there's virtually nothing to see at that point and even my RE was excited but I just didn't get the peace of mind I was looking for.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: WHY AM I SO HUNGRY?! and nauseous. It's the strangest thing.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? MILKY WAY all damn day
Me: 29 DH: 30
10 weeks
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Getting past our first trimester screening
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
My PGAL brain is...having a headache lately. Imagining maybe having good news to announce at the end of the first trimester is helping a little!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy?
Sour candy, only it can't get sour enough!
7w1d
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
my ultrasound next Monday
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm tired of being tired!!!!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy?
Ive been eating sprees all weekend lol
O16 April Siggy
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My second ultrasound and OB app March 23rd
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: still trying to be optimistic about this pregnancy after 3 losses in 10 months
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Not really a candy person
1. How far along are you? 6 weeks
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Getting through this week and hopefully not bleeding/spotting like last time. Then, appointment 3/16 and hoping for US.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm still very thrown off by lack of morning sickness but I'm grateful as long as there's a healthy baby in there. I know it's still early and not everyone gets MS so I'm trying to stay calm.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? Dark chocolate and sour patch kids.
Married 7/15
BFP #2 2/18/16
@housewifehobbyist - I am so sorry. Hugs!
1. How far along are you? 10w1d
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Today, I have another ultrasound at 3:00p.m.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Not really a rant or rave but I think DH got butt hurt because I told him I wanted to go alone to today's appointment. I've had 2 prior losses and if for whatever reason this one doesn't work out for us as well, I really don't want an audience.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy? I love me some Swedish fish and licorice, but not black licorice.
1. How far along are you?
9 weeks
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 10weeks
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
i haven't had any spotting for almost a week now! I have been put on progesterone pills so hopefully my levels will go up. I got to see our little dumpling last Wednesday just to make sure it was growing before I continued my progesterone and it was! Measured right where it should with a 177bpm heartbeat.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite candy?
gummy anything-Bears, Coke bottles, peach rings, sour skittles
