Thanks girls! Turns out I have a UTI. My hcg is at 78685.4 baby's measurements and numbers are adding up the 6.5 weeks. So everything is great just a week behind what I thought I have my what should have been 8 week appointment on Friday so I'll hopefully have more answers then. Thanks for all the support

@ohmickey331 that's great to hear! Hopefully you can get some rest tonight.

I feel like I feel TOO good to be pregnant.. if that makes sense lol apart from one day of feeling completely hungover, my symptoms basically disappeared two weeks ago. I've officially missed my second period though, so there's something lol. one thing I do find though, is that it is such a struggle getting out of bed every morning because my body feels like it's had the shit beaten out of it! SO sore! I think maybe I'm just too busy running after DD to realize how exhausted I am.

@ohmickey331 Sending good thoughts your way.

I'm having a mix between constipation and metformin induced diarrhea. So annoying. Nausea is still pretty uck, but my Dr. gave me a RX that is helping some. and crackers, all the crackers! ha.  

vvitchhazel

@kaylawing I've been experiencing something similar. I do have MS and I am vomiting, but every morning I'm in and out of the bathroom at least three times with loose stools. It's so unpleasant, especially when I end up throwing up at the same time. I was like this with DD too. I've been told that diarrhea isn't a pregnancy symptom, but with your hormones all over the place, anything that happen. 

kaylawing

@vvitchhazel that makes sense with the hormones. I'm hoping that it subsides soon- what an unpleasant way to spend the morning. 

drablnd

@kaylawing I had the same issue for the first few weeks but it's stopped now and the constipation is setting in

@ohmickey331Sending positive thoughts! Hope all is well.

@breezybee that gif lol. DH and I have been getting a laugh out of doing that impression whenever I smell something I don't like.

Symptoms have been pretty consistent these last few weeks but then out of nowhere at the end of last week, mood swings went into full effect. I was so nasty and nothing was helping me get into a good mood. My heart rate was really increased too and I felt stressed for no reason. Weirdly, while I was being a beast, my regular symptoms sort of went into hiding and I was even able to eat meat a few times. Today I'm feeling back to normal as far as mood goes and my regular symptoms (nausea and fatigue) have returned. Weird little 4 day burst of crazy hormones I guess... I wonder if there's a possibly that my hormones are peaking this week.

I grocery shop on Monday's, and I browse pinterest to make my shopping list. Lately looking at pictures of food in the morning's is just making me feel sick and I don't want to go

I ate a banana before workout this morning and I had my first vomit morning....so gross. 

bamacoop

I didn't have any symptoms until about a week ago, which is on par for me. I'm nauseous all the time without actually throwing up. I have to constantly be eating in order to keep the nausea away, but I haven't been doing a good job of that, so I generally always feel gross. Last pregnancy this lasted a couple of weeks and then I got better, so I'm hoping it'll be the same this time.

Also, with last and this pregnancy I have very sensitive sinuses. Like, the actual area underneath my eyes/to the sides of my nose hurts when I take a shower and the stream of water hits my face. It feels very weird, but I had this last time, so I'm not worried. It's just annoying and lasted my whole pregnancy, and a couple weeks afterward. Ugh.

MJDsquared

This is the first day I've felt gross. I wasn't hungry at all when I woke up, and lately I'm usually starving in the morning. I still ate breakfast just fine. I felt nauseous earlier, but luckily I bought Saltines last night and brought a sleeve with me this morning, so I ate two and felt better. And now I'm feeling it again. And I can smell old coffee from the kitchen and it's really grossing me out.

^^^Was lurking November and accidentally posted that there. I'm mortified. Lol.

breezybee

Haha @MJDsquared How embarrassing lol. It happens

Marley629

Ummm vivid sex dreams! That's a new symptom for me. Wtaf lol especially Bc none of that is going down in my house right now...not with progesterone suppositories 4 times a day... I can't be the only one?!? 

katiegeminimoon

@MJDsquared I did that over on the TTGP board! I wanted to die!

Marley629

@MJDsquared lol I lurk there often and I get so nervous that I'll post there accidentally or lovetit something - I'm sure it happens a lot

MJDsquared

@ktcakes87 Hopefully now I'll be extra vigilant on checking where I'm posting... Yikes!

bkrahn

@Marley629 definitely not the only one! I've been having them for weeks and we have been having zero actual sex! Haha 

Marley629

lol I'm glad I'm not alone @bkrahn

Taggarab

Whew...glad I'm not the only one dealing with the big D as opposed to being constipated. I feel gross pretty much all the time. I have some meds, but am trying only to use those when I need to get out and about. If we are just staying at home I put up with feeling crappy and throwing up/gagging. 

thatlauragirl

The other day I wanted orange Powerade with every fiber of my being. I picked some up on the way home from work, took a few sips, then puked. In 15 minutes I went from craving it to hating it so bad it made me cry.

I'm also dealing with congestion and nosebleeds and my sense of smell is on superhero level right now.

bethk1993

Nausea and vomiting. Sore boobs. Exhausted. Hormonal. Vivid dreams. Sensitive to smell. Food aversions. Heartburn. Memory worse than usual. Occasionally dizzy. Ugh..... the symptoms just don't stop and they're so different from my twins. I had a dream pregnancy with the boys and this one is just so completely different. I just hope that means it's a girl lol

AMCsquared

See everyone is posting about diarrhea yet they tell us it's not a symptom. I don't get it!

grochril

So concerning Diarrhea.. I also use the Ovia pregnancy app.  It lets you research symptoms and what not.. on here diarrhea is listed: 

collectiveliving

Good morning everyone.

I'm 9 weeks and 3 days, and have been nauseous the past few weeks, but just had my first vomiting in the public work bathroom like half hour ago.
I think I'm hungry again, but scared to eat right now.
Do you all wait a while before eating again?  

I've got some ginger ale to sip on, crackers, a banana, and plenty of bland stuff. 

tmk0325

I'm not sure if I should put this here or start a thread, but I'll start here I guess. For those of you who know your HCG levels has anyone been very high around 8 weeks and is only expecting one baby?  I had my blood draw on Friday to confirm the pregnancy and I got my labs back yesterday and my HCG levels were almost 148,000.  While in the normal range its on very high end. I emailed the nurse and asked if I should be concerned about multiples and she said the only way we would know would be an ultrasound (which I have scheduled for May 26th).  I never knew what my levels were with the twins and I'm slightly freaking out that there might be two again! May 26th can't come soon enough.  

mrsorigami

been feeling barfy the last couple of weeks.  just doing what i can to get through this!

Marley629

@tmk0325 at 7w, 3 d my HCG was 56,000; keeping with the doubling method it would have exceeded 150,000 by 8 weeks (though I think HCG slows down at a certain point - but I don't know when) and I'm expecting a singleton 

cait5413

@tmk0325 I have never been told any Hcg levels with either pregnancy. But fingers crossed it's just one this time! Waiting for an ultrasound is the worst!

acgonzalez22

@collectiveliving I usually eat bland for about an hour after, then eat whatever before I eventually throw up again. 

Happy to report the shortness of breath and dizzy feeling is gone with the addition of the iron and electrolytes for my anemia.

dilbert890

I'm eating crackers too! @bamacoop diarrhea is no fun and is one of my symptoms as well. I haven't puked, not sure what is worse. I called telehealth, they said I had a virus.. but I was sick again last night. Telehealth is dumb, but that's a rant for another thread. Hope you feel better soon. 

Ive been tired, same, sleeping a lot and waking up feeling beat, but for the most part I don't feel pregnant as well.. my boobs don't hurt like they did week 6.. maybe this won't be so bad! 

raeoutwest

@bamacoop I'm right there with you! If I'm not eating I'm nauseated. I don't know if that's been tricky for you but it has for me! I teach high school and I don't allow food in class. If students bring food I sometimes say things like "you don't see me eating in class and I survive" lol, so now I'm running to my cupboard during passing period trying to stuff my face with a bunch of saltines before my next class comes in!

moonlady-2

I'm 7+3. Still not sick/nauseous . I wonder if it could still come? Anyone else not been sick at this point and then had it kick in later? Maybe I'm lucky?

tracefacemsu

@ohmickey331 glad to hear everything is ok! Good luck at your appointment this week.
@collectiveliving if i feel like I'm still hungry even after I've eaten, I usually wait 5-10 minute to let my stomach settle before eating more. I have a bad habit of inhaling my food when I'm starving and for me, that makes nausea 10x worse.

AFM, I've had nausea and fatigue which has been par for the course over the past few weeks. I haven't vomited in over a week, so I'm pretty happy about that. However over the past few days I've been noticing dry patchy skin on my chin that's never been there before, and I was wondering if that's a pg symptom too. Maybe it's a sign of dehydration? Though I feel like I pee all the time and it's usually a light yellow color (sorry for TMI). Any thoughts?

bethk1993

@moonlady-2 I never had nausea with my twins. But this pregnancy I have horrible nausea, and it really started at about 7 weeks. My understanding is that some start having it later but once you're past 12 weeks (most of the time) it's all over. (I'm praying for that relief!) again, just my understanding.
