Let's start with a short intro for those who weren't with us last week, and as a refresher for everyone else. My first loss was at 8w in march 2016 and my second was an ectopic pregnancy in June How far along are you? 5w2
How are you doing? Pgal brain is going crazy. Today for a while I was convinced I had no symptoms. Still very anxious
When is your next appointment? Feb 8. It will be a long two weeks. I have a dr appointment and ultrasound
Rant/Rave/Questions? I am so tires all the time.
GTKY: What TV shows are you watching? What are your all time favorites? I love comedies and reality tv. I really like American housewife right now. Some of my favorite reality are vanderpump rules and jerseylicious
@GhanimaAtreides I am so sorry the news wasn't better for you today. I know no words will take away the pain and sadness you are feeling. Sending prayers for peace and healing your way.
Ok, so I heard back from the midwife. It's ok news. My first beta on Monday was 29, 249, and todays were 40, 936. Not optimal, but not bad either. She said that she sees plenty of pregnancies where the numbers don't double but steadily rise instead that are perfectly healthy. She's also encouraged that my symptoms continue to be very present, and is estimating that I'm a week behind what I originally thought- so 6+3 instead of 7+3. I go in again next Monday for a second round of betas, and then I see her again on Monday 2/6 for another go at an ultrasound.
Let's start with a short intro for those who weren't with us last week, and as a refresher for everyone else. I have 1 14yo DD and am 39yo. My fiancé is 41 and has no children. We've been trying for almost a year. We had a MMC in August 2016 (was 9 weeks, baby measured 6w3d and no heartbeat) with a D&C. Started trying once we were cleared and we conceived sometime over Christmas. How far along are you? 6w4d by LMP. Did get to see a heartbeat today and the baby is growing so we take that as better than last time!
How are you doing? Nauseous and exhausted. Also on Progesterone suppositories which are the devil for any PGAL woman since the frakking coating is RED! Oh and no appetite. I have to force myself to eat and drink. I'm also getting over a head cold so that's not helping.
When is your next appointment? A better US next Thursday at the radiology center. They have a higher definition US and should help us see better.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I am ranting about the loss of appetite and this damn cold! I can't take any meds of course and my head is just stuffed with cotton and my throat feels like someone shoved a gym sock down my throat. Using essential oils in the vaporizer (like peppermint and eucalyptus) and drinking decaf peppermint tea.
GTKY: What TV shows are you watching? What are your all time favorites? Our shows are on hiatus right now. (The Walking Dead & Game of Thrones) Right now rewatching Sons of Anarchy and naked Charlie Hunnam booty.(Fiancé always grunts whenever naked CH booty is on the screen. It may be because I told him Charlie is on my celebrity fantasy freebie list. LOL)

How far along are you? 8 and 2 by lmp 7 and 4 by first ultrasound (Made friends with the 3D ultrasound lady so she did one for me lol) How are you doing? Nervous that I'm measuring a week behind and have no morning sickness it was raging by now with my other two.. baby measured 6 and 6 when I thought I was almost 7 and 5 with a heart rate of 126.. I don't even know what is normal for that early.. I've been kind of a wreck trying not to think about it

Let's start with a short intro for those who weren't with us last week, and as a refresher for everyone else. -FTM, this is my 2nd pregnancy. MC at around 8 wks end of Sept/beginning of Oct 2016. Had light brown/red spotting on and off for a while since the day after BFP at about 5 wks, with about 3 ultrasounds from beginning to end (only ever saw gest. sac) and tons of betas which were lower than normal the entire time..
How far along are you? -7+6 according to my period calendar 7+5 according to TB. I believe and hope I'll be 8 wks tomorrow though so that's what I'm sticking with :P
How are you doing? -I think I'm doing alright this time around. I haven't had any spotting/bleeding to date (knock on wood). Symptoms sometimes worry me because they're sort of subtle- breast and nipple soreness that's been pretty constant and very sensitive since 1 week before missed period, had a little bit of nausea I guess at around 5 wks but has subsided other than gagging when brushing my teeth that I didn't have before, weight gain, always hungry, acid reflux, burps and gas, small pinches and pulls every now and then as opposed to cramping which I'm not too worried about now, and my boobs and butt are noticeably huge already as my BF and Hubby have noticed.
When is your next appointment? -First appointment is 02/10 I should be about 10 wks. I'm counting down the days and since everything has been good so far I haven't been too worried about rescheduling any sooner. FX.
Rant/Rave/Questions? -Just the anxiety of waiting for appointments and trying not to stress about everything and not telling anyone sucks. I, like everyone else, just want to be DONE with the first trimester already!!
GTKY: What TV shows are you watching? What are your all time favorites? -(I just got cable back on after about 2 yrs without so still looking for something good, but..) Currently watching Impractical Jokers, I love anything that will make me laugh, and Are You The One. All time favorite, Grey's Anatomy, hands down. I did watch every episode of Lost too though.
@GhanimaAtreides I'm so sorry to see your update. Sending you T&Ps.
Let's start with a short intro for those who weren't with us last week, and as a refresher for everyone else.
*stuck in bold* TW- LC mentioned* Hi ladies. I'm a little late but hopefully no one will mind me jumping in. I'm dealing with full on PGAL brain despite my rainbow being here (DS is 6 months). I have a history of IF and RPL. I lost an IVF single (CP), spontaneous twins (blighted ovum at 5.5 weeks and trisomy 15 at 9 weeks), and a single 7w6d. I'm AMA and high risk. How far along are you? 8w1d due 9/6
How are you doing?
Pretty well. My initial progesterone came back low so I am on Endometrin and we have had two good u/s so far.
When is your next appointment?
Tuesday for an u/s and MFM appointment
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Not today
GTKY: What TV shows are you watching? What are your all time favorites? I don't watch nearly as much tv as I'd like to. Love Bravo, behind on the bachelor but all time favorite was Downton Abbey
Also on Progesterone suppositories which are the devil for any PGAL woman since the frakking coating is RED! Oh and no appetite. I have to force myself to eat and drink. I'm also getting over a head cold so that's not helping.
My progesterone suppositories are white, I guess my doctor isn't as evil as some of yalls.
@bostonbaby1 of course you are welcome here I'm sorry for the history that makes you belong here, but you are welcome with us! I'm glad to hear things are going well so far and that you got a progesterone supplement if you needed it

@bostonbaby1 of course you are welcome here I'm sorry for the history that makes you belong here, but you are welcome with us! I'm glad to hear things are going well so far and that you got a progesterone supplement if you needed it
Thank you! My progesterone was at 8.6 so I was happy to take it. I spotted with DS and the progesterone really helped my frame of mind. I think most doctors don't think it helps or hurts so I would rather take it...
Strange question...but is anyone randomly gaining weight already? I swear I didn't gain anything until like week 12 or 13 and it was a pound or so and then in the second I started popping. I mean really?!? I've already gained five lbs and i'm just over 6w!! What the?! It's not like i'm eating a sh*t...i'm bloated (to be expected) but my booty and hips area are also squishy and my pants don't fit...whhaaaaahhh. I suppose I should take this as a good sign that things are progressing but seriously, am I alone? I got to this point with my loss as well but I don't recall my pants not fitting...was just a wee bloated and maybe up a pound or two.
@bostonbaby1 that's good. I didn't mean to suggest that I didn't think it was necessary. I actually asked for progesterone testing (to three different doctors at three different offices...I was freaking out!) and they said the don't do it until 3 losses in this country, and I'm at 1, so I'm just praying that my levels are ok on their own, because I won't know until it's too late. And at 15 months ttc, I really don't want to start over again!

@BigBadWolf12 & @BostonBaby1 I didnt get progesterone until after 3 consecutive losses and my doc still isnt sure if it'll even help (this is also my 4th doc, gotta love military medicine and docs that move away). We've been TTC since Nov 2014. It's extremely frustrating and PGAL brain is the devil. Fingers crossed and prayers for healthy pregnancies to all!!
First ultrasound this morning! Officially measuring 7+2 which was exactly what I was thinking due to ovulating a few days later than normal and got to see the beautiful heart beat flickering away! I think my husband was more nervous than I was. The last time we were in ultrasound (May 2016 @ 10 weeks ) the blighted ovum was discovered.
@BigBadWolf12 Where are you (just curiosity?) Also @lahearn18 my doctors typically don't do them even after the three losses, unless the cycle was an assisted cycle through an RE. Even with my history, I had to push for it. Last time I only started them because my progesterone was down at 5.? and PGAL brain was just not okay.

@GhanimaAtreides I remember you from my time on TTGP or one of my loss BMBs. I'm so sorry you're going through this. All the creepy internet stranger hugs to you.
@BostonBaby1 Yeah, this doctor just threw it out there as a "hey we can do this too, but there's no real science behind it" as i did sooo many tests and procedures to figure why the heck i was MCing and everything was normal normal normal, so i said why not? So I don't actually have to be on it, I'm just doing it because I at least feel like I'm doing something.
Fellow red progesterone suppository ladies: this may be TMI but do you find if you don't get the suppository way up that you get more of the reddish discharge? I've been good about trying to make sure it gets as close to the cervix as possible but a couple of times I didn't and found I had more of the orange-red coating discharge then I did when I was in more. (Sorry if this is graphic but hey we're all girls here! Lol)

@rainafire77 I know it is crazy. I can't believe how much red one little pill can give off. And for how long. It seems like two or three hours before it stops. Too bad it's not blue. I would not freak out over blue.
