Hello ladies, since it was mentioned before that we don't have one
yet. I figured I would start one up. We have a good few ladies I think.
Here we go!
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
3. How far along are you?
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
1.
I am feeling good this week. Kind of tired but the nausea has been to a
bare minimum thank goodness. Peed on many sticks between yesterday and
today. I need to not let paranoia get the best of me. I am happy, but
trying to stifle it a bit.
2. My appointment isn't until next week and I am waiting impatiently.
3. I am 5 weeks and 1 day. Inching ever farther every day out of the danger zone.
4. My favorite book right now is Reflected In You by Sylvia Day. It is from the Crossfire Series. Very 50 Shades of Gray-esque. Not that I need any more books like that, lol.

1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
A bit tired, had 2 days of headaches after that bug that made me get rid of any and every fluid in my body from both ends..praying morning sickness IF any is not like that. I might go insane lol. Just a bit tired since it rained today so slept in. I go to our first class today at the pregnancy center the first 6 are religious based, then a few lectures, etc. Other plans are to price the heck out of all this yard sale stuff (planning a sale EVERY saturday until we move) since people are doing their Spring cleaning and giving it all to us to help with moving expense truck/forking over a deposit since we have money in limbo until other deposit comes back)
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
No appts this week but just set up my 1st official appt in Tampa at the clinic I am going to hope becomes the one I want to be at since the Dr's there all deliver at the hospital of my choice and we are moving there asap (praying for next month) I will pick up the paperwork on Friday so it takes some stress off the waiting room game on Monday. DH probably won't be able to go with me due to work. But they will do the first U/S.
3. How far along are you? Well per LMP it is 6 weeks 2 days BUT I know for a fact I didn't ovulate until like day 21...so it might be a week less but I should know more next week and update my ticker.
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment? Girlfriends Guide To Pregnancy and Baby Bargains.
Thanks for starting this! I have been wondering if we should start one!
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
OK mentally, emotionally I am a wreck. I feel like I am being so mean (I was like this we DD) Physically I now know things are going well but I am still spotting and cramping again today.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
I had an u/s yesterday and it looked good per the u/s tech(possible heartbeat). I am still waiting for the Dr to call me.
3. How far along are you?

Don't really have one right now. I am waiting for a few to come out this month.
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans? I am exhausted and beginning to like ms will be coming soon and my boobs hurt. Emotionally Im happy to be pregnant bit naturally terrified after two losses.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.

3. How far along are you?

3. How far along are you? 5 weeks 4 days
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment? I have read many books recently, just got Divergent as popularly suggested by many ladies on here, but havnt started it yet.
Great idea for a Topic! I look forward to getting to know you all!
1. How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
I'm feeling pretty good this week, just EXHAUSTED! No Naseau or M/S, but I am struggling to keep my eyes open today. Last night, I went to the gym for the first time in 3 weeks and just walked on the treadmill. I felt good when I left, but am Wiped out today!
I think that cravings may have also kicked in. I have been wishing for fried foods and mashed potatoes for 3 days! I will have the potatoes, but an trying to avoid the Fried chicken!
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
No appointments. My first Dr. appointment isn't for another 2 weeks, so I'm Trying to not drive myself Crazy in the mean time. Thankfully, one of my good friends is a Nurse Practitioner/Certified Midwife, so I've been Pumping her brain for information! She gave me some great advice on nutrition, symptoms, etc., then says... CALM DOWN! lol
3. How far along are you? I'm 6 weeks along. My EDD is November 3rd!
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment? I Just finished an Oprah recommendation: The Twelve Tribes of Hattie. LOVED it! Now reading John Grisham's The Racketeer. It's not his best, but its easy reading.
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans? My legs are killing me and I keep having dull cramps and I hope its just the baby growing, I have one more week until the u/s to hopefully hear the heartbeat so I am over thinking, and last night I cried while watching HIMYM.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc. This sat is just a regular check up.
3. How far along are you? 6w2d
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment? None currently until I find my lost catching fire book.
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans? Feeling good physically, for the most part. Got some bloating and constipation and my boobs are killing me.
I've felt great emotionally until last night. Something about hitting 5 weeks made me super anxious last night and I could barely sleep. I think it is b/c both of my losses were in the 5 week period. I just want to get through this week.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc. Tomorrow I get my 3rd and final beta. I think they'll be good - in a crazy PGAL moment, I took an HPT last night and the test line was about twice as dark as the control. It was crazy dark! I wish I had a picture. It was darker than the control before the control even showed up. Anyway, I think if the numbers look good they'll have me come in for my 1st appt next week. So far, things are pointing towards ute pregnancy, not tubal!
3. How far along are you? 5 weeks today!
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment? I'm actually not reading anything but the Mayo Clinic book on pregnancy, and some other one about pregnancy week by week. I plan to start Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs this weekend.
Dx: Feb '13 - HSG shows clear tubes but minor diverticulitis; Borderline DOR; Low DHEA and low testosterone.
Moving on to IUI or IVF.
We've got a peen.....it's a boy!

Svenny think happy thoughts this week, and I will be sending positive vibes your way every single day!
I'm absolutely exhausted! I don't know if it's the time change or the fact that I'm growing a human being. Either way, I'm beat. Emotionally I feel pretty good. I'm much less worried now. I haven't had any spotting, so I'm taking this as a great sign!!
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
Nope. Not til the 27th. Then we get to take a peek at the bean.
3. How far along are you?
I am 5w4d today.
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
Goodness. I haven't had any time to read lately. I read kids books every day, I'm a teacher. Does that count? My favorite kids book right now is...Clementine by Marla Frazee.
TTC since 6/2012
BFP #1 1/15/2013, EDD 9/27/2013, MMC 2/1/2013
BFP #2 2/26/13, EDD 11/8/13
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
Coming down with a cold so other than feeling sick (sore throat, headache, etc.) I feel great with the pregnancy symptoms. The symptom I feel the most is weepy... I am super duper emotional and feel like I can cry at the drop of a hat. I'm also having crazy dreams that are so vivid, I wake up and question whether they were real or not.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
Anxious, excited, and extremely nervous for our first appointment this week. We will be having an ultrasound on Thursday and I'm panicked on whether we will see the heartbeat or not. I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible but with our previous losses we never got to see the heartbeat on the u/s so I'm a bit of a wreck this week!
3. How far along are you?
6 weeks 3 days
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
I love to read but am struggling right now with finding something really great to read. At the moment I'm reading The Great Gatsby but I do not like it at all (pushing through to finish it) so I'm so glad this is the GTKY questions so I can see what everyone else puts.
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
Feeling just fine and dandy other than sore nipples and being super tired. My plans consist of grocery shopping and making spinach enchiladas.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas?
Just had my first appointment with my midwives today! Our first ultrasound is scheduled for April 10th!
3. How far along are you?
5 weeks 5 days
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
I'm currently reading the last in The Wheel of Time series. If you like fantasy it's a series worth checking out!
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
Tired/Nervous/Anxious
Unfortunately the most I have planned is a trip to the grocery store
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
I wish
3. How far along are you?
5 weeks 5 Days
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
I need to go to the library so none at the moment

This is great! Thanks!
1. I have my moments, some times of the day are better than others. Over I'm at peace and pretty calm. But I still have a bit of my guard up. Plus, I've been having some cramping today and after having a bleeding scare over the weekend, I'm a little on edge. But everything looked fine at the emergency u/s on Sunday, and I go back again tomorrow. To this day, I still really haven't experienced any symptoms that are note worthy.
2. Weekly u/s appointment is tomorrow morning.
3. 6w4d today.
4. I haven't picked up a book since the hunger games, which I still need to finish the last book.
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans? I am tired and a little nauseous. Mentally I am ok just nervous about my first beta
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc. Thursday is my first Beta
3. How far along are you? 3 weeks 6 days
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment? I am continuing my education and in college so I am writing a paper on Mark Twain so I am reading a lot on him.
2. I had beta's done this morning waiting to hear back. Also am hoping to have an ultrasound this week.
3. I think I am 5w 5d
4. Right now I am reading the last book in the bronze horseman series. They are amazing books!
My symptoms completely vanished! I did have a little cramping this morning, but i think its because my pants are tighter today. My skin has stayed clearer, which is a great perk. Emotionally I haven't had any symptoms.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc
Nope. Going in in two weeks for our first ultrasound/heartbeat. So excited!
3. How far along are you?
LMP says 5 weeks 4 days [due Nov 8th], but OPK/BD would put us at 5 weeks today [due Nov 12].
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
Gone Girl. I just finished reading it, and it is so good!!

1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
So so tired on all fronts. I am dreading the end of the week. I would have been excited if I wasn't pregnant. My friend got my husband and I tickets from a co-worker to South by Southwest (a music/film/interactive festival here in Austin), and I have felt so crappy that I ditched him for the first half of the festival, but Friday, Saturday and Sunday he has created an all day 10am-1am schedule of music, parties and films, and my feet hurt just looking over it =( I don't want to be the unfun old lady and bail.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
Nope. Next week.
3. How far along are you?
5.5 weeks
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
I wish I had more time to read!
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
Not the best. This has been the 1st week in which I have been getting super nauseous. I'm overly tired too.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
Not even sure what they really are... ah. That's my confession for the day.
No appts. My 1st isn't until April 1st and embarrassingly, I don't know anything about beta's
3. How far along are you?
6 weeks & 2 days!
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
Reading Life of Pi and love it! Will be starting Jenny McCarthy's 'Belly Laughs' after.
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
Physically, meh. I woke up with a bad headache that threatened to turn into a migraine this morning; have been feeling more run down this week. Mentally/emotionally, still scared and cautiously excited. A little less overwhelmed than last week.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
No. My first appointment is next Friday.
3. How far along are you?
5 weeks, 2 days.
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
Currently reading "The Midwife's Confession" for a book club I facilitate at work. It's very good so far!

1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans?
I'm feeling pretty good. It's still really early so no huge symptoms, but a lot of little things I wonder if they are symptoms. Emotionally I got a little stressed and upset trying to get my beta done but it all worked out and the nurse was just being dense.
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc.
2nd Beta tomorrow. FX for good numbers.
3. How far along are you?
3 weeks 6 days
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
I like the under $5 ebooks on Barnes and Noble. Trashy romance books are my thing.
I wasn't active on any of the PGAL boards, but I hope it's okay if I join in. (I just miscarried in February).
1: How are you feeling this week physically/mentally/emotionally? Any plans? I'm feeling pretty good physically. Some tender nipples, a little back pain, and some mild exhaustion (but it's hard to say if thats from the PG because I've been chasing around my 18 month old in some hot as heck weather). Mentally, I'm a bit nervous that we got PG again so soon, but trying to tell myself not to worry about that
Emotionally, I'm feeling pretty good actually. Very excited and don't know how I'm going to keep this secret!
2: Any appointments this week? Betas? Etc. No appointments till April
at 7.5 weeks. Going to try to call and see if I can come in sooner.
3. How far along are you? I'm 3 weeks 5 days, very early, I know.
4. GTKY: Favorite book of the moment?
Haven't been reading at all lately
But my guilty pleasure at the moment is watching an episode of Pretty Little Liars while G naps.
I have no problem posting a weekly check in for us. I know we see things differently and have different anxieties than others who are either first time mothers or haven't experienced a loss.
I have to make sure all the PgAL ladies are still with me here! AL galsGotta stick together.
