 1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 
12 weeks 2/27/18

 2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? 
Recently I've been suffering from an on again off again migraine. Tylenol just doesn't help and I miss my excedrin!
 3. When is your next appointment? 
Aug 28th
 4. Anything else you'd like to share? 
I had the NT scan last week and for the first time got to see baby moving around. It's funny because I read that at this point the baby is moving, but its totally different to see it. It actually made me really excited to see that things are moving along as they should
 QOTW:  Do you plan on finding out baby/babies' gender or will you wait to be surprised? 
Definitely finding out! Maybe for the second one I will be surprised, but I feel like it's fun to know for the baby shower.

Hi everyone just found out 8/13 that I am pregnant, so very early. 
1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?
4 weeks 1 day. April 23rd
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Nothing really besides insomnia which is horrible.
3. When is your next appointment?
I go back 8/16 for repeat hcg and progesterone testing.
4. Anything else you would like to share?
Tw* I have previously had 2 early 1st trimester losses so I'm cautiously optimistic. My 1st hcg level was 161.8 and progesterone was 22.48 that was on 8/14.
QOTW: Do you plan on finding out baby/babies gender or will you wait to be surprised?
I have waited long enough lol so we will do a gender reveal party!!!

 1. How far along are you? 
6 weeks and 4 days, so due early April.

 2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? 
Luckily I haven't dealt with any morning sickness yet! Hoping I'm lucky and that just never comes. I have been feeling extra tired, so going to bed early each night, but I have to get up to pee at least a couple times a night.  I also feel hungry all the time.  I can eat dinner and then be hungry again like an hour later, ugh.
 
3. When is your next appointment? 
I had my second ultrasound today.  My RE said everything looks great.  The heart rate was up to 125, which they said was good, so I'll take his word for it.  My next appointment is 8/22, for another weekly ultrasound.  I'm staying with my RE until I hit the 10 week mark and then will be released to my OB.

 4. Anything else you'd like to share? 
My RE told me today its ok to start working out and going back to the gym for light exercise.  So I plan to start walking on the treadmill a few nights a week.  Are any of you ladies doing any special types of workouts or classes?

 QOTW:  Do you plan on finding out baby/babies' gender or will you wait to be surprised? 
I want to find out he gender, but my husband doesn't.  So unless he magically changes his mind, we'll wait an be surprised at delivery.  I tried to explain to him he'll get to be surprised even if we find out earlier on, but he isn't budging.  Ugh.  I also said we won't be able to get things monogrammed if we don't find out (which he is probably happy about lol).

Not much to say this week. Just plugging along. 
 QOTW:  Do you plan on finding out baby/babies' gender or will you wait to be surprised? 
Yes we are planning to find out the gender. We have that ultra sound scheduled for 10/2 sooo far away. I'm pretty sure my DH will have me at the local 3d/4d place before then he can't wait. I'm hoping for a reveal party but DH is impatient and may not wait that long.

@meredithj123, good luck tomorrow! 

meredithj123

@Prayingfor2 what was your second beta? 

kaseycoco

@meredithj123 good luck tomorrow!
@ackershan congrats on the long awaited BFP! Don't be nervous about lack of symptoms, it doesn't mean you can't have a healthy pregnancy. Women often don't feel much until 6 weeks anyway, and even since then I have had very mild symptoms. The wait for the first ultrasound is definitely a long one though!
@momma6angels11 welcome! I remember you from the FET board, glad to see you over here!
@Prayingfor2  welcome! I know the feeling of wanting to shout the news from the rooftop after waiting sooo long! Congrats on the long awaited BFP.
@thucks glad to hear the nausea is slowly getting better. I'm keeping my FX you're all clear by the second tri

OMG so I woke up from a dream this morning I was sitting up in my bed with the pillow purched behind me and I was holding my boobs lol. I was dreaming that I wasn't making enough milk so I was pumping as much as possible to build up my supply again. OH the dreams we have I hope it's not a sign of what coming cause I need that milk supply lol. 

momma6angels11

@thucks i certainly hope you dont have that happen! It happened to me with my last baby and i finally just had to stop.. the crazy dreams we have during pregnancy!! Lol!!
