If your due date is 4/6, 4/13, 4/20 or 4/27 - your "ticker" changes today! Join us.

Basing this off O date, not LMP and will change to a different ticker day, if needed, when I get an officially due date.

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 4 weeks (yesterday), poppyseed

2. How are you feeling? I’m freaking out a bit. I can’t believe I’m actually pregnant! It’s such a weird thing to think about. I'm also relieved lol Symptoms wise, I’ve been constantly sick with heartburn and cold for the last couple of days. I’m someone who’s always been tired so I don’t feel extra tired. How do my boobs not hurt yet though? LOL

3. Any appointments coming up? First I have to find a ob/gyn! My insurance cut ties with a huge medical group in the area and my new ob/gyn happened to be in that medical group. I’ll be calling around on Monday.

4. Rants, raves, questions? I’m just super excited. It still feels like a dream though. Maybe it’ll feel more real once we start telling people and see the doctor. For when you are a FTM who has never been pregnant, when is the typical first appointment and what do you do at that appointment? I know a lot of women who have had losses and they do a bunch of testing ASAP so I’m not sure what is normal for a first time pregnancy.

5. GTKY: How did you tell your partner about your BFP? He was there when I took the test. He got home from work and I was like “I haven’t started my period yet, I want to take a test”. I saw the line almost immediately but he didn’t believe it at first. He felt better as the line got darker. Maybe for the second I’ll do some fun surprise but he wanted us to find out together for this one.

@justkeepswimming8 First appts vary a lot between practices. When I was PG last time, I had an intake appt at 7 weeks, then an U/S and genetic testing appt at 10 - 11 weeks. From what I've seen others saying, the first appt is usually between 8 - 12 weeks. Some practices do them earlier though...

5. GTKY: How did you tell your partner about your BFP?
I texted him to come into the bathroom and told him to look at my phone which had my BFP under it, lame I know We had been TTC months prior but decided to stop trying so I was so sure it would be negative but part of me just wanted to test anyway and sure enough, BFP!

5 weeks on Friday 

Feeling very tired. 

First appointment is Thursday morning for blood work and "financial planning" 

no real rants, raves or questions. This isn't my first rodeo and so far this pregnancy has felt identical to my first two. 

Told my SO that I was pregnant by asking him to go to the store for more pregnancy tests. Two positives wasn't enough proof for me.

I am not trying to cause trouble I am not being dumb but what is a Tixker please I want to learn from you thanks, Maggie

@maggiebakescakes a ticker is the day that you change how many weeks you are based on your due date. When you first open this app it will say how many weeks and days you are. So the days that you hit a new week like 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks, that's the day of your ticker change. Hope that makes sense!
