How long have you been trying for? Just shy of 2 years
Preg Symptoms: Some nausea, sore boobs, increased thirst, frequent peeing, sleepiness in the afternoons, cramps when I sneeze or sometimes just randomly. All of that I can handle. I have also apparently forgotten how to walk without injuring myself though, which is pretty annoying.
ETA: more symptoms.
We had been trying for over a year. I have pcos and wasn't ovulating. I went on medication (metformin) and really dedicated myself to fitness and becoming healthier. I lost 30 pounds! My family dr had said if I wasn't pregnant by my follow up appt in August that she would send me to a specialist. Well a few days before my appt I tested positive! Talk about perfect timing!
I've been having a lot of cramping so I've been trying to take it easy. Also very tired, bloated and just started having morning sickness. Boo!
EDD: 4.22.14
Symptoms: just got some forehead acne! And gassy.
Thanks for doing this thread! I really love the whole site, but glad to see all the FTP symptoms.
Of course!! I think. This thread seems to have been created for further support of all members. Congratulations!!
Im from Northwest Indiana.
EDD: April 19
How long have you been trying?: 4 months
Symptoms: Just tired so far, but I'm a school teacher and we just started back last week so I'm not sure if I'm exhausted from my third graders or the pregnancy. Boobs were sore last week, but not much over the last few days.
Late to the show here... work is interfering with my bump time again... anywhoo...

How long have you been trying for? Went off BC at the end of May...shocked it happened as fast as it did!
Preg Symptoms: mild nausea alternating with extreme hunger /thirst, a little more tired than usual, growing/ sore boobies, light cramping and bloating.
Of course you can participate! I think anyone should be allowed to post where they want and feel accepted so I think you'll be just fine here!
We created this thread as an outlet for first time preggers to share whats going on, how everyone is feeling, general questions, and perspective of being pregnant for the first time. all that good stuff.
I found myself reading the PgAL weekly thread and found how incredibly supportive and wonderful everyone was of each other and really got educated on the ups and downs of this journey from their perspective. However I do find myself not chiming in because I just haven't had the same experience as those strong ladies have had and was just looking for a different kind of outlet.
I wish everyone the best for happy and healthy pregnancies, and everyone is welcome.

Ah, pregnancy is beautiful
Our due date is April 18th, and our first ultrasound is August 26th ( which is my hubby's birthday!) so the due date may change.
We haven't really been trying to conceive, just not preventing. I was working 3rd shift and not sleeping but shortly after I switched to daytime hours and felt better, there were 2 lines in the HPT.
So far the only part of me I can tell is pregnant is my boobs. They're already bigger. Almost feel like I've gone up a cup size! And they're very tender. Been feeling light-headed the last week. Some nausea, but I think that was some anxiety. Just started experiencing some heartburn the last couple days.
