Nausea all the time (I feel for you @workmanj1 ), lots of aversions, exhaustion

QOTW: Are you finding out the gender?
this is a sensitive question for me and I will answer with the disclaimer that I'm not judging anyone for finding out or how they chose to parent. I'm not finding out the sex. I believe gender is a lot more complex than boy or girl. I know this question will be asked pretty much nonstop throughout my pregnancy so I need to find a way to answer that doesn't offend and doesn't devalue my experience as a trans person. Any (respectful) thoughts are welcome!

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Not much, but I am so hungry! I had breakfast, late morning snack, early lunch, snack about an hour after lunch, a second lunch around 3pm, just ate a huge dinner and I'm sure there will be another meal before bed. Yikes!
I need to stock up on healthier snacks to have at work so I don't keep eating mac N cheese & granola bars every day.
3. When is your next appointment?
7wk ultrasound Sept 26th... 2 more weeks!
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
This still doesn't feel real, I don't really feel pregnant but praying I still am. Would progesterone prevent bleeding if a MC happened at this point?
QOTW: Are you finding out the gender?
Yes, we plan to find out so we can pick a name ahead of time, but we won't tell anyone. I want gender neutral baby stuff, and people will be more likely to shop from our registry if they don't know the gender.

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?
I had my first OB appointment today! They put me at 11 weeks 3 days, and due April 2.
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Feeling pretty good currently! Just frequent urination and heartburn, but nothing really too bad to complain about.
3. When is your next appointment?
October 12th. I am already missing my RE and weekly ultrasounds.
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
I got to hear the baby's heartbeat today for the first time! That was pretty exciting.
QOTW: Are you finding out the gender?
We will not be finding out the gender, my husband really wants it to be a surprise, so I'm ok with that.
1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?
10w1d, according to the transfer day. 4/11/2017
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
None, still. Well, except for hunger. I'm always hungry!
3. When is your next appointment?
Just had my first appointment with an OB today. The baby was busy flipping and kicking!
I have another appointment next week with the genetics department for nuchal translucency ultrasound and a bunch of blood tests.
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
I've moved on up to insulin to control my blood sugar (I'm pre-diabetic). But I feel much better about having more control over my blood sugar now, and I'm seeing a dietician every couple of weeks to make sure that I'm eating right and so is the baby!
QOTW: Are you finding out the gender?
I know the gender already, as I did the PGS screening. I thought about not finding out and let it be a surprise, but then felt a bit weird about giving my RE more control over our family planning (because, he knows). And also I was way too curious and had to find out.
Unexplained infertility/AMA, polycystic ovaries, insulin resistance

2.What oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Nothing besides peeing a lot, some tiredness, and my boobs are a little tender.

Meet with a MFM on 9/21
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
Had my second appointment with my RE on Weds. Baby was measuring great and hb of 171
QOTW: Are you finding out the gender?
Yes we are. I've waited long enough to not find out. Were going to have a gender reveal party also
