moosegal · April 2012

Good morning!

QOTD: I'm feeling ok except for all of my mini freak-outs I keep having. Go back tomorrow for another u/s and I'm hoping beyond hope everything is still ok.

I haven't weighed myself since my BFP, so I have no idea how much weight I've gained

Sleeping is going pretty well, although I'm up once or twice every night to pee!

Mrs.Babbsy · April 2012

I have been having really bad m/s and I am just so tired this time around. I am exhausted and still puke several times a day.

I don't know about weight gain, but my pants are getting tight, I might break out my maternity pants soon because I just don't care what people think, I want to be comfy dammit!

Sleeping, well last night was my first night getting up to pee a million times. Also, I usually have a toddler or 2 in my bed so I don't sleep that great anyways

maby22 · April 2012

Hi...I'm new I don't know yet how many but we have our 1st u/s 04/13 and will know then. My due date is 12/06.

I'm feeling extremely bloated, none of my pants zipped up today. I haven't gained weight though. I am speeling ALL the time, can barely make it though the day.

theworms · April 2012

QOTD: how are you feeling? ok, for most part. i still have moments of crazy anxiety but i am trying to stay calm and enjoy it.

have you gained any weight? no, i've actually lost about 13lbs since BFP, my appetite is seriously lacking and i have to force myself to eat

how are you sleeping? i fall asleep ok but once i get up to pee falling asleep again can take up to 2 hours

farmerlynda · April 2012

Good morning!

My due date is 12/5 (my littlest brother's birthday), and we have our first u/s on April 17 (my mom's birthday) so we don't yet know how many. But given my wacky betas it's likely we had a disappearing twin and have one in there now.

QOTW: I'm still nervous but trying to relax and enjoy being pregnant! It's so hard, and I wish I could go back to being naive like I was when I was first TTC. Now that I know everything that can go wrong, I'm always on the lookout. I did get some good news though -- I told my mom I was pregnant yesterday and she said that her b/w was low back in the day when she was pregnant with me. She didn't remember the specifics because it was almost 30 years ago, but that gave me comfort.

I've been sleeping well, and I don't know if I've gained any weight but I am definitely bloated and can't fit into any of my regular pants! I've been rocking stretchy dresses, skirts, and yoga pants for the past couple of weeks.

nancyjane5150 · April 2012

Good morning ladies!

QOTD: I am feeling pretty good. I only have a little nausea throughout the day. I haven't gained any weight, I've actually lost weight. I think it's because of all the water I've been drinking. It might also be because nothing seems very appetizing. Even with the weight loss my pants are all to small... Indifferent Oh well. I am sleeping pretty good. I tend to sleep on my right side a lot.

Run20K · April 2012

Overall I feel good. I have daily reminders that I'm still pregnant, which reassures me. My next appointment is on Friday and I am cautiously optimistic that everything will be okay.As for weight gain, I weigh myself every Tuesday and have gained 3.4 lbs. Most of that gain is from the last week, and I probably ate too much. I'm back on track now with eating more nutritious meals, so hopefully the scale won't creep up so dramatically next Tuesday. Also my body is changing a lot, and I have a stomach pouch that people from work have been glancing at. As for sleep, I'm getting a lot of rest and am happy with that.

limpetfan · April 2012

May I join?? I'm due 11/1/12, pregnant with a singleton.

QOTD: I've been feeling better for the last week or so (which I hope is because the placenta is taking over...?) - less MS, not quite as exhausted. But, I've developed some wicked heart burn the last few days! I'm starving a lot of the time, but so far I've lost a couple of pounds instead of gaining. I sleep like crap because I'm either uncomfortable or have to pee! Big Smile

AmyH0807 · April 2012

Hi everyone!!!

QOTD: I am starting to feel sick throughout the day. It's not only in the morning and I have been really tired. I haven't gained any weight yet, but my pants are feeling tight. I have been sleeping pretty good, except when I have to get up to pee a few times during the night.

I did have my first u/s sound yesterday and everything looked good. I go back on Monday to hear the heartbeat, which I am really excited about.

amaksym05 · April 2012

QOTD: how are you feeling? I am feeling ok. I am still having some discharge from the SCH seeing that always makes me anxious and stressed. I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy but it's hard some days. I hope my NT scan on Friday will bring us relief!

have you gained any weight? No I haven't gained or lost.

how are you sleeping? i fall asleep ok but I toss and turn and always wake up too warm or cold and it never fails I have to pee every night at 2:00am.

sbrowns08 · April 2012

Hi All!

I'm feeling pretty good these days, I think I'm over the worst of it. I never had terrible m/s, but I really only crave carbs and fruits. Veggies and meat never sound good. I'm not nearly as tired as I was on PIO. I'm still plauged with nearly yconstant headaches, which is another story entirely.

I've only been weighed at 10 weeks and 12 weeks. I didn't gain any in between those visits, but overall I'm up quite a bit since the summer (prior to our three inject cycles and IVF).

I haven't slept great since my BFP. I wake up a lot, but it's no big deal.

CLaNa · April 2012

Hi Ladies,

I have been feeling fine. I am starting to get some dizzy spells though. I haven't gained any weight yet, but I think I'm starting to get a little bloated so it may be time to start pulling out the loose shirts. I sleep just fine aside from the hourly trips to pee!

My next appointment is Monday for my NT scan. I am so nervous. I'm glad this weekend will be busy since the weekdays are creeping by sooo slowly.

pb_bride · April 2012

Hello theworms & other ladies in 1st tri-

QOTD:

how are you feeling? This past week has been worse than before. I had v little sx's the first 8 wks but now in my 9th wk, I started getting mild queasiness, esp in the morning, and have no appetite. But other times, I eat like a horse!

have you gained any weight? About 2.5lbs since BFP

how are you sleeping? Still terrible with insomnia. Had 2 nights of good sleep over the weekend; last night woke up at 3a and couldn't fall back to sleep until 5a.

sloannmark · April 2012

feeling good and sleeping so-so. Weighed myself for the first time in a while, I think I've gained about 8-10 lbs! I need to slow it down!

ljhgrey · April 2012

I'm new! 6 weeks tomorrow, EDD 11/28/2012! Pregnant with one sweet LO

I am feeling well, for the past week have been very tired, and very anxiously awaiting each u/s. It's nerve-wracking not knowing what is going on in there! Have had some restless nights, and today a bit of nausea in the morning, but no full-blown sickness yet.

jessican08 · April 2012

Hello there!

QOTD: how are you feeling? have you gained any weight? how are you sleeping?

I weighed myself a few days ago and was actually down 3 pounds from my weigh in on ER day...I'm sure that will be changing soon though with the amount I've been consuming!

I'm feeling pretty good. I've been a bit queasy the past 2-3 days, mainly from about 2pm on, but it's not too bad.

Sleep-wise...I'll have a few good nights then a night like last night where I'm tossing and turning, waking up, etc.

joules12 · April 2012

Hello all!

Can you please add me? I'm still in quite a bit of limbo with this pregnancy; however, as part of my "trying remain optimistic about things," I figure that joining this check-in might be a good thing. I haven't yet been given an EDD (undoubtedly because of the limbo/uncertainty). Based on how the LO was measuring at yesterday's u/s, it is 11/20...which is about a week behind what would be expected based on my ER date.

QOTW: Other than being very tired (which I've been since starting PIO), I'm feeling fine physically. Mentally...I've been all over the place! Today, I ran into an acquaintance who is an OB/GYN specializing in Maternal Fetal Medicine at the large university hospital where I work. Chatting with her a bit gave me some good information and also eased my mind a (slight) bit more about my small gestational sac and its potential associated risks. Trying to remain focused on the LO's solid heart rate and growth progress.

My sleep isn't solid, but it's still feels pretty glorious. A bit of weight gain...could be pg-related bloat, but is more likely the increased amount of carbs I've been taking in lately.

Trish11278 · April 2012

Congrats to all the recent BFP!

QOTD: I am feeling pretty good. Nausea seems to have started to die down. I am still not a fan of drinking liquids especially water but I am forcing myself. Probably not as much as I should though.

I am not sure if I have gained weight yet. Haven't weighed myself. I am sure the OB will tomorrow (my first appointment Big Smile )

Sleeping is not going so well. I am usually a back or belly sleeper and I am too paranoid to do either now. I am trying to sleep with pillows between my legs and that helps but I can not sleep through the night like that. Luckily the back pain seems to have died down at night.

Sarah226 · April 2012

Hey Everybody!

QOTD: how are you feeling? I seem to have developed late-stage morning sickness! I threw up both Sunday morning and this morning. Tongue Tied I've also been really, really weak in the mornings, but after I eat something I'm okay. Maybe I need a midnight snack or something.

have you gained any weight? I haven't weighed myself--we don't own a scale--and the RE never weighed me, and I haven't had my first OB appointment yet, so I don't know! I assume so, though, since my pants are pretty snug and I've been wearing most of them with the button undone with the bella band.

how are you sleeping? Not really any issues there, luckily, except that I usually have to get up to pee. I usually can fall back asleep just fine.

IttyBittyBaby · April 2012

Hi Girls! I went to my first ultrasound yesterday and saw that I have ONE healthy baby, heartbeat = 143bpm = measuring 7 weeks, 3 days! I feel like I can finally try to enjoy being pregnant.

QOTD: how are you feeling? have you gained any weight? how are you sleeping?

Im feeling pretty good. Im not really having morning sickness - but I do have aversions to food (especially meat) and I can never find anything I really want. I actually have lost 4 pounds. Not from anything other than being overly picky, not hungry. Im still so exhausted! All I want to do is sleep and then when I go to bed I am "wiggly" and cant sleep. When I finally fall asleep - I wake up to use the restroom - I cant win!!!!

IttyBittyBaby · April 2012

Oh and my due date moved to November 19th. Sorry.

kobrie01 · April 2012

QOTD: how are you feeling? After four straight weeks of daily nausea and vomitting, I had three days of feeling great this past weekend. Then yesterday m/s returned with a vengence! have you gained any weight? Nope how are you sleeping? I'm sleeping great! probably b/c I take 1/2 unisom plus B6 at night to help with my m/s.

jillychris · April 2012

Hi!! I love reading everyone's updates!!!

QOTD: how are you feeling? Okay so far today. I haven't taken a zofran yet, and no nausea. Holding off as long as I can, as I'd really like to not take them. I had a great day Saturday (no vomitting), the worst day I've had yet on Sunday (with a zofran every 6 hours), and then no vomitting again yesterday. Who knows what my body is doing, but I'm hopeful with two good days in the last few, that maybe I am nearing the end of the m/s!

have you gained any weight? I've gained about 5 pounds since my BFP, but none in the last couple weeks.

how are you sleeping? For the most part, good. Just waking up 2-3 times to pee, but I am able to fall back asleep!

DC ICSI Momma · April 2012

I'll Join the Check-In! I'm due 12/4/12. Don't know about multiples until 4/12, my first U/S but transferred 2 3-day embryos.

QOTD: how are you feeling? have you gained any weight? how are you sleeping?

I am feeling very few symptoms. Some food aversion, nothing i can think of sounds appetizing. Mild cramping.

Haven't weighed myself. Probably should to get a starting point, but, my home scale doesn't work.

Sleeping TERRIBLE. I can get to sleep fine and stay asleep for 2-4 hours. After that it's a fight to get any more sleep before the alarm goes off. The early morning beta appts this week aren't helping. (But they are sort of fun).

thebeadinglady · April 2012

QOTD: how are you feeling? have you gained any weight? how are you sleeping?

I am feeling pretty good actually. The nausea seems to be slowly going away, though I still get the horrible sour/metalllic taste in my mouth every time I eat. I don't really know if I have gained weight or not. I refuse to look at the scale when I go to the doctor. I assume they will tell me if they are really concerned about my weight, and so far they haven't said anything to me.

I am actually sleeping amazingly well right now. I get at least 8 hours a night, and it isn't odd for me to get a nap in during the day too. If I could do nothing but sleep all day I would be seriously happy.

HayGirl5 · April 2012

My biggest complaint right now is a headache that I have had for eight days and just can't get rid of. I took Excedrin regularly before and Tylenol just isn't cutting it! I have nausea at times, but it is not unbearable and just recently started having aversions to foods and smells.

I have actually lost weight since I gained ten pounds when I first got my BFP due to mild OHSS. I am noticing that I am getting a lot flabbier though and my belly is still sticking out a little even though my bloating has gotten much better.

Some nights I sleep fine and other nights I can't go back to sleep after waking up to pee. I am exhausted all day long though.

Hope everyone is having a good week!

MAbride0808 · April 2012

QOTD: how are you feeling? have you gained any weight? how are you sleeping?

I'm feeling good, but still exhausted. I didn't think it was possible to always be so tired. I have gained a few pounds but I think most of it is bloat. I'm sleeping much better since I got a body pillow.

JodiAriel · April 2012

QOTD: how are you feeling? I was super nauseous for the last 2 weeks but feeling a little better today. Still tired most of the time. I also am super stressed with work and trying to make all my appointments. I feel like we are just a # at our midwifery office where I am used to being known at our fertility office (there was only 4 people in the whole office including the doctor).

have you gained any weight? I actually have lost 7 lbs.... nothing fits however! I cant do up my jeans and wore a pair of maternity jeans for the first time today.

how are you sleeping? Like crap! I used to get up once a night to pee and now I am getting up 2-3 times a night between being hungry/thirsty and having to pee. Plus I have so much going on in my head I have a hard time falling back to sleep once I do get up.

albjag · April 2012

QOTD:

I am feeling great. No nausea or morning sickness. I am just tired and hungry. I haven't gained any weight, but have a bloat bump so it's getting hard to hide.

I am sleeping great! I get really hot at night though.

psychmusetls · April 2012

My nausea has gotten worse and my gag reflex is more sensitive. But in the grand scheme of things, I cant complain. I'm sleeping alright. Im so exhausted I'm sleeping more and better than ever before. No longer in need of sleep aides! I'm getting up 1-3 times a night to pee.

Just wanted to add - cant wait for my u/s on Friday! Really nervous about graduating but i'm ready for this!

RRL2012 · April 2012

How Many: Confirmed on Monday that we've got 1 bean growing.

How are you feeling? Only symptom that has been consistent since my BFP is sore boobs. Emotion wise I am still really nervous that I am going to m/c. I have no history of this, but I know it's fairly common and for some reason I'm convinced it's going to happen. Every time I feel something we in my underwear, I am sure it's blood and then I check and it's just the Endometrin leaking out. I wish I wasn't so paranoid and I could enjoy the excitement of being pregnant more.

Have you gained any weight? No...I think it's too early for that.

How are you sleeping? I am going to bed 1-2 hours earlier than I normally do. I wake up 2-3 times to pee. And I think because I am going to bed so early, I am waking up really early.

Ruthie04 · April 2012

I'm so excited to see so many wonderful women on this list!

QOTD: (1) I am having a rough bout of m/s. Everyone keeps telling me it is almost over, but it's getting worse! I also still have my weird crampy, stretchy feelings several times per day. My energy comes and goes...but at the end of the day- I still love being pregnant! If only the anxiety would go away. (2) I look HUGE. I told my boss yesterday and she said she already knew. Apparently, I'm not fooling anyone. However, I haven't gained a single pound! (3) With the exception of running to the restroom 2-3x/night, I am sleeping so well!

veggiechick120 · April 2012

QOTD: how are you feeling? have you gained any weight? how are you sleeping?

im feeling better now that i started my new thyroid med. much less exhaustion during the day. i still wake up to pee every few hours though. i am up 4 lbs total, my dr says i can blame it on all the progesterone im on lol

Faith722 · April 2012

QOTD: how are you feeling? I feel good. Still a little crampy, but nothing real strong. That's the only symptom I have that I think isn't directly related to the PIO.

have you gained any weight? I have gained and lost 3 lbs since ET. I think it was the ridiculous bloat I had the first week after ET.

how are you sleeping? I have a hard time falling asleep. Then I sleep great and have a hard time getting up.
