1.  How far along are you?
I'm probably about 5 +6; pay no attention to the ticker.  I'll make it more accurate after my next ultrasound.

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week?
MS began on Friday.  I'm not throwing up yet, but have felt nauseous for most of the day every day.  As weird as it sounds, however, I am grateful for this since I had a spotting scare last Thursday.  So far I can eat my normal foods and go about my business as long as I take it easy.  The symptoms do seem to get worse if I push myself too hard.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?
Just staying the course for now!

1.  How far along are you? I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow (6/14)

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? Morning sickness has reared its ugly little head.  I started feeling a little off at the end of last week and this morning it was full force.  Thankfully, I did get some relief and was able to eat and get everyone ready. 

3.  Rants, raves, or questions? Not yet.

1. 6w5d
2. I have just been so nauseous all day every day. It seems to be tapering off a little but it is just miserable. I never had this with my DD until 10 weeks and only when I ate certain things. Constant nausea sucks. 
3. I am super bummed we won't be able to go on roller coasters this year, either for summer or for Halloween! We love to make one big trip to Cedar Point a year.

1.  How far along are you?  According to my ticker, I'm 6 weeks today!  I have my 1st appointment the first week of July.

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week?  My boobs have gotten very heavy and tender and my sense of smell seems to have heightened.  DH was making a turkey sandwich yesterday and I almost vomited at the smell of the mayo.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?  I really wanted a beer yesterday.  I could almost taste it...man, this is going to be a long summer.

How far along are you? 
I will be 6 weeks tomorrow. 

Any fun new symptoms this week?
I have been having cramping and now some difficulty with constipation. Using the washroom more frequently and being extra tired are also on the list right now. I still have a super sense of smell and all foods taste different than they used to. (Cravings/aversions all over the place)

Rants, raves, or questions?
 Not much at the moment. 

Edit

cheymarie29

Ugh! Have been nauseous for about a week but officially throwing up everything I ingest now so miserable.

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week?
Nausea has officially set in, it usually comes in the late afternoon and is the worst right around bed time. I've just been going to sleep to avoid it. 

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?
I'm with @BumpasaurusRex on this one. Summer is here, I live in craft-brew central, and all I want is a beer. BOO.

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? Well, they're all fun and new.  I am experiencing pretty aggressive nausea surrounding mealtimes.  If I go too long without eating, I get nauseous.  If I eat too much, I get nauseous.  If I eat the wrong thing, I get nauseous.  So that's fun.  I'm also really tired, and my boobs are killing me.  But I keep saying that I've never been so happy to feel like shit.  That's my mantra for getting through these early, stressful weeks.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions? Is anyone else having trouble waking up in the morning?  I actually pretty much feel fine after I get up, but the actual waking up is awful.  I usually wake up pretty happily and easily, but even though I'm getting enough sleep, waking up is really uncomfortable.  My eyes feel so heavy and my body just takes longer to get moving.  That's not fun at 6am.

CherryBananas

1. I'm 4 +6

2. I get super nauseous every time I lay down. I usually have a consistent level of uneasiness during the day but as soon as I lay flat - bam! It's making sleeping fun. I have to prop myself up with pillows, but that ends up killing my back. Doing this without my trusty Robaxacet has been super awesome.

3. I second everyone else about the beer thing. ETA: and oh my goodness do I want a bath! A hot, steamy, jetted bath, with bubbles and a bottle of wine and I want to sit there for an hour and watch Buffy on Netflix. 

paigeed

1.  How far along are you? 5!

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week?
Boobs are getting increasingly sore. Still incredibly thirsty. I don't feel super hungry but could finish a HUGE meal when I do eat. I also feel this bubble like feeling on my left side. Hoping that's either the corpus luteum or little babe growing there. 

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?
Rave & Rant--I've been really confident so far that everything is going great on there. Today for whatever reason I'm worrying that lack of nausea=not good. I know that's stupid, I'm just trying to tell myself that it will come. I'm just so excited for baby! 

babyonboardekkkkk

1.  How far along are you? 6 weeks

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week?
My boobs are a little sore. I have the WORST congestion and stuffy noise- no cold involved. But no MS which makes me feel a little nervous. Oh, and there are definitely more burps then usual- gross!

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?
Rave & Rant-- I'm so excited to be pregnant but just like a few ladies above me, my symptoms don't feel super obvious and I still am not fully convinced there's a baby in there! Ha;)

This will be baby #1 for me (33) and husband (37)

PerraSucia

1.  How far along are you? 5w6d (it looks like all the IVF people shared a transfer date)

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? the puking has begun I was JUST saying "man this is great maybe i'll only be really tired this time" just yesterday.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?  is it friday yet?

cheymarie29

1.  How far along are you? 6 +7

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? Vomiting. Have been nauseous but now full on sick. Moody and have just been wanting to be alone and not around anyone. Happy to be pregnant though. Just not happy about these symptoms.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions? Not really just ready to not be sick

turtlemobile2

I think I'm 7 weeks. Maybe. Not sure, I'll know more at my appointment next week. 

I'm just nauseous all the time. My doctor called in some meds for me and they have been helping about 70% of the time if I get enough sleep. Otherwise I pee a lot. And my boobs hurt. And I always want pizza or fish sticks with tartar sauce.

Rants/raves: I'm already showing. I might have to tell work sooner rather than later. I miss wine.

angeltennis3

1. 4w1d

2. Nothing noticeable yet. Mostly the fatigue and a little bit of food aversion but nothing I would probably even notice if I didn't have the pee stick to prove it. 

3. I mentioned this in the Monday bitch fest thread, but I am frustrated with my doctors office. I called Monday at 8:30 am and again today at 1:00 pm and have yet to get a call to schedule my first ob appointment. I am seriously considering switching if I don't hear back tomorrow because I think it's ridiculous it takes that long for them just to schedule an appointment. Imagine if this were an emergency. With my first, it was only a few hours and they called me back. 

SabrinaAced

1) 6 weeks on Wednesday 

2) morning sickness started today with dry heaving in the shower -- nauseous all day eatting fixes it for a minute then nausea and bloating from eatting starts again

3) I want WINE!! visited my family back home in California over the weekend and thats what they were drinking had to tell them I'm on an unprocessed diet and not drinking right now (hard to lie to them but semi the truth as I'm trying to eat healthier with the pregnancy) 

tclayton53

@kelliematteson that was me my entire first pregnancy and everything was fine! 

LinnyAnne10

1.  How far along are you? 5 weeks and 5 days

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? MS,but no puking just feeling sick. But I think today I'm narrowing it down to dairy as what is setting it off. which sucks since I'm craving milkshakes. A cold has hit me over the weekend. and bloating. 

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?
My rant. I want a smoke. so freaking bad. but I have been smoke free for 4 days now. But I still want a darn smoke. 

babyonboardekkkkk

tclayton53 awwww, thanks! It's so weird to have this tiny secret. I'll stop wishing ms on myself!

blush64

@LinnyAnne10 it is great you quit!

Eveinshock

6w1d and I'm starting to have intense stretching pains pretty often. Mostly right side but sometimes left. It's not horribly painful but it's nothing like menstrual cramps either, it's like a pulling. I don't know what this is, I dont remember this feeling the first time although I only made it to about 7 weeks then.  

NurseTMD85

1.  How far along are you? 4w5d

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? I have menstrual-like cramping every night. I also have constipation that makes it worse. I only feel nauseated when I think about eating certain foods, but I have been able to eat and keep everything down. Other times I cannot inhale my food fast enough. I have tender breasts, but no worse than my pre-period soreness.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions? I can't sleep because my cramps are so bad at night and I'm having a hard time making it through the day with my eyes open

caribbeanmama-2

1. 6 weeks 4 days

2. Cramps (period like), sore bigger boobs, and nursing is uncomfortable like when my milk first came in.  Oh and the afternoon fatigue is real... Like that old Tom and Jerry cartoon with Tom using toothpicks to keep his eyes open - yes I just dated myself...

3. Last pregnancy I was so nauseous by now - no puking - just disgustingly nauseous.  Don't want to bring that symptom back but am nervous that it's not there....

peachesnbean

1.  How far along are you?
5w1d
2.  Any fun new symptoms this week?
Well, my ladies are just so sore I can't sleep on them. I don't know if I would call that fun...
3.  Rants, raves, or questions?
Missing Diet Coke so much today! Thinking about treating myself to Sbux for my caffeine today for being off it for 1 whole week (and then some) lol

kswiger06

@peachesnbean I don't drink coffee but love pop! I cut out caffeine when we started trying. I tried to cut it out completely but when I'm craving it I get caffeine free diet coke. It tastes pretty good to me although non diet drinkers turn their noses up. It might be a good option for you too:)

peachesnbean

Thanks @kswiger06 I am trying to avoid the "diet" drinks too. I had awful MS/HG with my girls so I am trying to cut every corner I can to ease it this go around. Its tough! I've been drinking pop since before I could walk (thanks mom and dad) and started diet pop when I was in 9th grade. I am ready to be free of this addiction! 

SawyerRichardson

1.  How far along are you?
5 weeks today.

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week?
Just really sore breasts, but they have been that way for a while. No MS for me yet hit I'm sure it is coming soon. I started spotting yesterday and it has continued to today. Trying not to freak yet, just going to watch for a while and see if it gets any worse.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?
Just dying for my first appt in July. It feels so far away!

scifichick09

1.  How far along are you?

6 weeks, 3 days

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week?

Still so thirsty all the time, and gassy. My boobs officially started getting vein-y last night

3.  Rants, raves, or questions?

Same as @SawyerRichardson , just can't wait for my first appointment on June 27th!

Mine has been alternating days, severity wise. Today it's bad enough to affect my productivity in a big way. 

sunshine2417

1.  How far along are you?  6 weeks and 6 days along!

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? Well, the nausea and ALL DAY SICKNESS... I mean, "morning sickness" has reared its ugly head starting exactly on 6 weeks. I basically spend the entire day contemplating where the safest place to vomit will be and what foods won't be too horrific in reverse. I've also had the most ugly crying aka total meltdown moments... Ya know, over my phone battery being on 2% (while I was laying right next to my charger... I was just afraid it was going to die and that my husband didn't care) or the fact that I saw a bug crawling on my shirt and I didn't like that.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions? Is it worth it to call my doctor about the all day sickness? I've tried ginger ale, crackers, bagels, vegetables, sorbet, mints, milk/calcium, laying in bed for an hour before getting up, afternoon naps, etc. I literally feel like a newborn--I wake up, eat, spit up, go to the bathroom, and back to sleep. Are we supposed to suffer this much or has anyone found any relief that's not food based? This is my first pregnancy so I'm new to all of this and it's hard to hide these symptoms from suspecting friends and family members until after our first ultrasound in two weeks!! We have tons of weddings, baptisms, birthday parties, and family events this summer that we are traveling all over the place and I'd love any form of relief or suggestions! 

poofwok

1. How far along are you? I'm 5w6d I believe

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? Just lots of fatigue and headaches

3.  Rants, raves, or questions? Just wanna get through 1st tri and have my 1st ultrasound! Anxious!

Jlk2016

I'm 5+1 and Boom! Just like that all I wanna do is puke!

flipflopped

5w3d and nothing going on. No complaining here
hopeful it keeps up but if not hopeful I can slide through with just nausea and no throwing up like last time. Even if it lasts the whole pregnancy I'll be happy. I'm a bad throw uper...lots of blown vessels that would out me. 

momousekee

4w4d. The cramps are making me crazy. I vacillate between "pregnancy is setting off my ibs" and "early miscarriage sign??" 

I'm ready for this symptom to go away. 

peachesnbean

@Jlk2016 - 5&2 today and to answer my husbands question of "how are you feeling?" "I am so pregnant it hurts".

For the past few days I have been getting nausea at night. Last night it hit harder than usual, but wasn't really a surprise. Fell asleep nauseated and woke up feeling queasy still and was really bummed. HG with my first 2 and was praying it wouldn't hit this time.

Also, my ladies are constantly achey. I no longer need to randomly feel myself up to check- I'm good.

1. 5 weeks

2. Everything is new this week! Symptoms I had without realizing what they all meant? Nipples be SORE. Oh man. I thought husband just got too crazy on our anniversary vacation two weeks ago, but no. Looks like they are pregnancy sore. Light headedness and headaches a few days now.

3. Rants - I need my muscle relaxers and ibuprofen for chronic leg pain. WHYYYYYY. Raves - No more litterbox for this lady!! Questions - Will Jon Snow defeat Ramsay Bolton in the next episode or will it be another cliffhanger?!?

Vastra

@kswiger06 and @peachesnbean  I grew up on the West Coast, where we drink "soda," and I am always completely delighted by the use of the word "pop."

1.  How far along are you? 6w 5d

2.  Any fun new symptoms this week? The nausea. No puking yet, just waves of feeling like I might, accompanied by dizziness and some clamminess. I've been feeling dizzy pretty much this whole time (I have always been a fainter), but the nausea is new today. I'm wondering if it has to do with the Rhogam I got yesterday.

3.  Rants, raves, or questions? QUESTION for ladies who have had Rhogam: Did you suddenly feel new symptoms after the shot? It could be coincidence, since nausea is hardly an unusual symptom.
Told a very close friend this morning over breakfast. I was nervous to tell her, because I know she started ttc last year, and she hasn't said anything about it in over a year. She was wonderful and supportive, but I still feel a little bad, because I know she really wants this too. 

fourPsinapod

@Vastra I don't remember anything in particular except feeling woozy afterwards (I'm a big baby anyways and it's not a very pleasant experience to begin with) but I've heard of different reactions in different people. I hope the nausea subsides for you either way! 

NurseTMD85

@momousekee OMG the cramps!!!!! I constantly feel like AF is coming any minute. It is so hard to stay calm!
