@hopeful_mom make sure you eating small meals or snacks frequently. I've noticed if I go too long without eating my nausea comes back with a vengeance! I've also been trying to eat pretty healthy because I'm already overweight and I'm trying to not gain crazy amounts of extra weight.
@arb425 i didn't want to gain weight through the process either but just all the cycles of clomid and ivf i really gained 10/15 lbs talk about disheartening! As that was suppose to be my baby weight gain. i"m a yoyo and i've always struggled with weight and this will be no exception. I was able to eat healthier the first 6weeks but feeling so bad carbs are the only thing i'm really interested in...and more salt then sweets for now too. I do have to try to eat small meals here and there, i definitely dont have a good routine down for this yet thats for sure!!
Just washing my hair is gonna take all the energy i have for today, its such knot ball, my sunday fun day! At least i finally had a day off so thats nice. hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

@hopeful_mom I totally get it! I've gained about 10lbs through the infertility process. With my existing thyroid issues weight loss is a struggle Don't stress about it too much! Eat what you are able to keep down. I've been just trying to make better food choice and but Olive Garden got the best of me the other day. Talk about carb overload!
Hi everyone! Decided I was finally ready to join the other side! There are several familiar faces on this board, excited to finally be here with all of you!!!
1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 7w2d, EDD August 8th, 2017. 2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? Random waves of nausea all throughout the day, new cravings every week/few days...flan, cheese-its, vanilla pudding, and CARBS, lot of little pinches if I get up to fast or if I have been sitting leaned forward and then straighten up (kind of like a side stitch, but near my uterus and ovaries), and OH MY the EXHAUSTION!!!! I am a night owl by nature, but last Friday night I was out cold at 7:30PM, sleeping 12-13 hrs at night on the weekends 3. When is your next appointment? Dec 29th ( last appointment with my RE), then Jan 9th (with my OB) I am kinda nervous to leave my RE, she is so amazing! I absolutely LOVE my OB too, but I feel like my RE is some sort of security blanket 4. Anything else you'd like to share? This all still feels surreal. Even though I have been having some symptoms, its hard to wrap my head around the fact that I have a baby in there! We've already starting talking names, even though we don't know gender yet... We can't agree on ANYTHING, so good thing we have 7 ish months! QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? Definitely finding out! I can't wait, I just can't do it. DH would love to wait until birth...I tell him this is my consolation prize for all the shots and vaginal USs
Re: 1st Trimester Check-in: Week of 12/12
My last appointment I was up 3lbs but I think that has a lot to do with my thyroid going totally out of wack and the progesterone bloat.
Just washing my hair is gonna take all the energy i have for today, its such knot ball, my sunday fun day! At least i finally had a day off so thats nice. hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
