Symptoms Thread (02-11)

I've been nauseous for the last 2 weeks but today is the closest I've felt to puking. 
I used to love a good quesadilla but I can't even being to think about eating that much cheese without thinking about throwing it up. I've been an emotial mess, crying over everything and I can't get "in the mood" to save my life. My poor hubby.

Only 4w5d so my symptoms are still sparse. This is the weirdest, but one of my very first symptoms, which went away a few days after the positive test and then just came back today; burning itching eyes, like WTH! When I drink enough water to make that stop, I'm peeing every hour on the hour. Luckily I've only been a little queasy so far. Boobs are sore, but since I'm on the small side anyway it's not awful. They're my best constant though, and for some reason I thought they had stopped hurting/were hurting a lot less today. Instantly I went to the bathroom to poas of course. But the worst one right now is my hip joints. The shoulders hurt too if I'm laying down but dang, I've been trying not to walk around too much today for the hip issue. Ugh at every step!

@mommac2017 thanks for the reassurance!! I had my second beta today, and it was 1630, which is almost triple what it was on Monday! I feel like I can now relax until our first scan.

The only thing I can drink is water. No coffee, no pop, no crystal light. All I've eaten today is a bagel and two bites of chicken. Everyone tells me at least I won't gain weight during the first trimester and nausea is a good sign that everything is going well with the pregnancy, but that still doesn't make me feel better. Nausea is so terrible!!!

Has anyone been experiencing ringing in their ears? I first felt it yesterday while I worked out. Then today while driving home. It sounds like you're underwater and then a ringing comes. It doesn't last long though.

At my appointment yesterday the nurse told me to take 25 mg of Unisom before bed and 25 mg of vitamin B6 every 6 hours during the day to help with the MS. I have only taken the Unisom so far because I had to order the B6 off amazon, but now I feel like a million bucks! It's not a cure all, but I feel human again.

@Dinosaur, my OB also recommended B6 but didn't tell me the dosage! I plan on asking tomorrow at my appointment. I'll mention the Unisom too. Thanks!

@mommac2017 - I want to kiss the feet of the nurse who recommended it! It's that good.

I'm in Week 6 and have absolutely zero symptoms. If it wasn't for my experience with my first pregnancy, I think I'd be snowflaking and googling myself into a freaking out. 
Sorry to the ladies on the opposite spectrum.

I am feeling fantastic this morning. Trying to enjoy it while it lasts and not start downward spiraling into "where did my symptoms goooooo?!?!"

I'll probably POAS at lunch to calm myself down.

Peeing on things is fun

@jessafishy still symptom free? Dealing with this this morning (boobs no longer sore, no longer feeling super bloated) and also not trying to freak :-\ I just POAS yesterday and got an immediate positive.... 

jessafishy

@rawr1131 Yes. I had some VERY mild cramping last night and this morning but otherwise pretty much gone. I did POAS at lunch and it was a very dark positive so I'm trying not to get too anxious about it.

I just keep trying to remind myself that I didn't have many symptoms with DS either, just cramping and some mild nausea.

You guys. I keep having the most fucked up dreams. Last night I dreamt that I was in a hotel with a random smattering of people from my high school. A guy with us turned into a shark and legit (graphically, too much Shark Week) ate another one of my classmates. It was so vivid.

Wtf pregnancy.

@cythe I was fixing to post this exact same thing.

I keep having dreams I'm in prison, this was the 2nd or 3rd dream like that.  Last night was so freaking surreal.  This guard was chopping inmates heads off with an axe.  I rush in to help a friend and have him pinned against a wall and he is just swinging away.  I can hear it hitting the cinderblock wall between me and him, bang, bang, band.  And there are several women around.  I can feel warm blood flowing down my side and I don't know if it's mine or someone else's.  I just close my eyes and pray that I pass out.  That's when I woke up.

Crazy pregnancy dreams in full effect too. They only started early this week and they've made me feel so much better and safer about this pregnancy which is ridiculous. But yeah, nausea in full effect today. Blegh

Right there with you. I had awful morning sickness with DS but that didn't start until 9 weeks - I can't remember anything before that ... aside from the SCH I had!!

Question - does anybody know if a sour stomach can be a pregnancy symptom?  My coworker is out with the stomach flu and I'm REALLY hoping this isn't that.  I don't feel nauseous, but my stomach feels like it's roiling and like I'm going to have diarrhea (although I haven't yet).

My breasts are starting to ache. Which is good because while I've had mild cramping this whole time I just wiped after using the bathroom and I saw some pink on the TP. My logical mind knows spotting is normal. (It's normal right???) But I'm trying not to freak out <--- that's my "trying not to freak out" face.
