Happy Monday ladies!
I'm cheating a little bit by starting this on a different day than scheduled, hope that's ok @sjohns08
This is our first TTGP check-in! Let's hear how everyone's doing.
Treat this as an ongoing conversation throughout the week.
How far along are you?

Re: TTGP Grad Check-in 2/20
6+3
Anyone have an appointment this week?
I have an ultrasound Friday at 7wks! Last week we were able to see a little hb flicker, hopefully this week we see a strong heartbeat
Cravings/Symptoms?
Very occasional nausea, sore boobs, fatigue. I'm feeling pretty great overall. The weirdest thing is I have zero appetite. I have to make myself eat- and trust me, that is not normally an issue.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
I was just lurking TTGP and thinking how I missed the culture and being so familiar with everyone. I'm sure that will come in time here; there are just so many more users on this board than TTGP. In the meantime, though, this thread will be nice.
Questions?
Nope!
GTKY: What's the best movie you've seen in the last year?
I just saw "Lion" and it was very good. Besides that, though, I see movies very rarely- which is why I started this thread, for selfish purposes. I love movies, but DH hates them (so weird, right!!!) so I don't get to go often. I want to catch up.
6 weeks and three days
Anyone have an appointment this week?
Nothing until March 7th. And it is taking forever to get here.
Cravings/Symptoms?
Mostly just some exhaustion and sore breasts. Maybe a bit of crankiness.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
I love how DH keeps trying to tell me how far along I am. Because you know, he's the expert. And he keeps trying to get me to postpone my foirst appointment by a week or so and I'm just like no bro. No.
Questions?
Nope
GTKY: What's the best movie you've seen in the last year?
I would honestly need to sit and ponder on this for a while.

5 weeks today!
Anyone have an appointment this week?
My first appointment isn't until March 15th. It's killing me.
Cravings/Symptoms?
I crave lemon in ice water. My symptoms are just bouts of exhaustion and really sore BBs. I get nauseated every once in a while but nothing crazy. I'm pretty sure I didn't get hit with MS until 6 weeks with both of my girls and it stuck around until 12 weeks. Praying this pregnancy is slightly different
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
*TW*My only rant is that I'm so sad two of our TTGP grads left us due to MC. *End TW*
My rave is that I'm super productive lately. Im making my self not get behind on laundry and housework because I know if I do get hit with MS and extreme exhaustion this house will be a disaster. My only random is that I am dying to let the people close to me know I'm expecting but DH and I agreed to just wait until after our 8 week appt and after we tell our girls. We can't tell them yet because they have really big mouths and when they're excited there is no secret keeping, haha.
Questions?
Nope!
GTKY: What's the best movie you've seen in the last year?
We don't really go out to see movies often, but The Choice was a good one that I watched at home.
@bluejeanbabi05I too miss the familiarity of knowing everyone. So thankful you started this one!

@canonmom413 I know, I'm devastated for them. My stomach twists every time I see a thread like that on our BMB. So scary.
How far along are you? 6w1d
Anyone have an appointment this week? Still 2 weeks out from my appointment - March 8th.
Cravings/Symptoms? Not much. Just some mild nausea and cramping still. I feel like my boobs have already gotten a bit bigger though.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Nope!
Questions? Nope!
GTKY: What's the best movie you've seen in the last year? Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I Am soooooo excited that there are four more movies coming.
I heart YNAB

Funny, DH commented yesterday that my boobs are at least "10%" bigger, which cracked me up because of how specific and I really didn't notice it. I trust his judgement on that subject better than mine though, lol.
@feeislove maybe he's just a little nervous about it all. When DH is strangely insistent about something weird like that I just smile, affirm his feelings, then do what I want.
And I only noticed because my bra has been fitting funny and sitting in a way that leaves lumps in my shirts. It's so annoying, I forgot how much I hated when they were bigger. Big boobs are overrated - they get in the way.

Hi! Hi! Hi!
How far along are you?
3+6!
Anyone have an appointment this week?
Not until March 7th (6w) but can't really complained about that.
Cravings/Symptoms?
Mild nausea but more oscillating between zero interest in food and ravenous but at the same time nothing sounds good. So far baby likes chicken fingers. BBS a little sore as of the last 48 hours. Really tired. A little crampy. Peeing on sticks daily until it feels more real and I'm late. They are getting darker.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
So happy to be here in such good company! I want to tell the world, mostly because it's all I can think about therefore all I want to talk about. So far only H, doctor, and the cashier at Barnes & Noble (since we bought all kinds of books) know. H is being sooo cute. We bought a book that says what baby is doing each day. He got really excited when yesterday's said babys heart with start beating within a week.
Questions?
When did you guys stop temping/have you stopped? I think im going to since tomorrow would be AF.
GTKY: What's the best movie you've seen in the last year?
The Martian with Matt Damon. It was so good and H thought so too.

I didn't temp this cycle due to my IUI (I heard it can play havoc with temps)
We should also start a BSC thread, I loved that in ttgp and I think I'm just as BSC now as when I was ttc. For instance, I literally just had to run to the bathroom and throw up, and I was happy after. I know throwing up sucks but I'm thrilled to have symptoms. I have mental issues.
So... I'm BSC too @bluejeanbabi05!

Anyone have an appointment this week? Not this week, but Next week on Tuesday will be my first OB appointment.
Cravings/Symptoms? Crave lots of sour and spicy foods. Tacos... Pretty under the radar with symptoms. I get fatigued easily and have found that I am more delicate and sensitive. No morning sickness. Sore Ta-Tas that have gone from a B cup to a D cup. Occasional cramping when getting up after not moving a while, no spotting.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Randoms: My lack of symptoms is very scary. I try not to think the worst, but a lot of the time I don't even feel KU. DH has tried to be encouraging and supportive... but it's hard to not be afraid.
Rant: My MIL tried to tell me that at 4weeks my baby was about the size of a granola bar. I only looked at her like, no. You have no clue. She's also trying to bring in old wives tales and it's really making me cranky. I know she only means well and she's super sweet, but lady, back offfff.
Questions? During your first OB (those who have gone) what can you expect? I'm trying to prepare!
GTKY: What's the best movie you've seen in the last year?
I haven't seen many movies this year... I guess I really enjoyed Hotel Transylvania last night haha!
@cactusblossum Hi! Welcome to the party! Glad you could join in

@VLillyV- Your MIL sounds like a treat. I feel you on the not feeling pregnant thing. If I hadn't have been trying and tested early, I probably wouldn't have figured it out yet.
@cactusblossum - I stopped temping after DPO 18 when I was getting very dark HPTs and was convinced this wouldn't be a CP.
How far along are you? 5W3D
Anyone have an appointment this week? Not til next week!
Cravings/Symptoms? Emotional. Tire quicker during workouts. Sore boobs. Cramping here and there. (@jessafishyI don't know how you feel better about having them! For me it's a little nerve wracking!) Occasionally I have very mild pangs of nausea. Oh and bloating. Like crazy. Feeling very squishy and it's really uncomfortable!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Yesterday DH got up early (6:30) and I went back to sleep. Around 7:30 my dog started barking. I still wasn't ready to get up, so I figured DH would get him since he was up and I was still sleeping. After 15 mins he was still barking. I got up and went to the office where he was and said "don't you hear the dog barking?" He said yes, and that he expected that I was going to get up to get him. Because he's MY dog. And it's time to get up, because it was late. I was soooo mad. First of all... getting up before 8 am is not late. Second of all... you don't dictate to me when I have had enough sleep. Third.. thought you might do your sleeping pregnant wife a favor and take the dog out of his crate and put him on the sofa until I got up to take him out. (Because just doing that is usually enough to shut him up.)
All the pregnancy rage you guys. All the rage.
Questions? Nah.
GTKY: What's the best movie you've seen in the last year? @bluejeanbabi05 my DH doesn't like movies either! He's so strange. I can't remember the last new one I saw... but I want to see Beauty and the Beast so bad! And DH refuses to take me. So I'm probably going alone.
BFP #2 3/18/19 * EDD 11/25/19* DS born 11/30/19
I'm sorry your DH is being a jerk.

I'm trying to only "love" posts like that too because the TTGP is risky when you are KU and have signatures and such... don't want to hurt anyone's feelings
edit I can't type when I'm excited ... or type ever lol

@bluejeanbabi05 You are so kind!
@jessafishy I remember you and I like you a lot! Thanks for the love and for being so sensitive
@ everyone -- big hugs friends! I hope you are doing well. I seem to have developed my first pregnancy symptom today (low blood sugar headaches ugh) so I hope you're better off than I am!
I wonder if I should start lurking your board now since November isn't up yet (though it's a little wild west for my tastes).
