  A few days after my BFP, I may or may not have taken my two positive pregnancy tests to work with me.  And, checked them sporadically, throughout the day.  Not my proudest moment, ladies Would I do it again? Most probably.

  I have pictures of the 2 regular tests and one digital test I took early on (light lines)... And the test I took a few days after my missed period is still in my medicine cabinet. I plan to keep it indefinitely. I look at it at least once a day. I've considering peeing on more sticks, but have managed to stop myself so far.

  I have kept the sticks from all my pregnancies.

  When I got home yesterday, I ate almost an entire bag of the Trader Joe's Chicago-Style popcorn (caramel and cheddar mixed together). As soon as I stopped eating, I started feeling nauseated (because I stopped, not because of the food itself) and then didn't eat almost anything for dinner. Oops.

  I am really struggling with being overweight going into this pregnancy. I'm really bumming out about already weighing as much as I do and then having to gain weight on top of it (and can't try to lose weight, even though when I was trying pre-pregnancy it wasn't very successful). Being sick and unable to exercise recently hasn't helped. I'm planning to talk to the doctor at my appointment, but this is eating away at me a little bit in the meantime.

  I totally get this, and feel your pain. FX your doctor has some good suggestions.

  @effthisnoise‌, but anything from trader joes is healthy, right??
  
  @Budders12‌, no use in berating yourself now, easier said than done. Just focus on trying to get some excercise in as much as you can, and eating clean. I had a coworker who lost weight in her 1st trimester b/c she stopped drinking, so you never know. Focus on what you can do now. I'm with you now, wish I was 10 lbs less at the start of this pregnancy.

  DH and I have not had sex in 2 weeks since I got my BFP. I'm terrified of cramping, spotting, etc. afterwards. I also have had NO energy! He is probably going through withdrawals since we were ED or EOD for the few months of trying. He's being a trooper so far though.

  I can relate. I have obsessed over my weight for as long as I can remember. I'm committed to eating healthy and exercising but it freaks me out a little to know that I NEED to gain weight. At my first appointment I'm going to talk to my Dr about not telling me what my weight is throughout the pregnancy, maybe just telling me if I'm doing good or need to cut back a little. That way I'm not haunted/stressed by a number and can do what's right for the health of my baby.

  @Budder12, I hope you get some sort of plan from your doctor and I understand. I was trying to lose weight before the BFP, I lost a few pounds using the myfitnesspal meal tracker, but I've noticed the scale slowly going back up the last two weeks. I did read that if you're significantly overweight it's OK to diet somewhat in pregnancy, but it depends. I also recall from TTGP that you had some serious other health issues that prevented you from doing intense exercise and various other things. I dont know if it works for you, but for myself I notice that I gain weight less quickly if I make an effort to get enough sleep and drink lots of water along with eating more fruits and vegetables than anything else. I know with the nausea it's not always possible, but it's all I got.
  
  I still have all my pee sticks, but they're in the bathroom cupboard and I forgot about them. Then the other day I opened the door and saw them all. It was strange. Still didnt throw them away.
  
  My FFFC: we're visiting DH's best friend and his family this weekend. Dh is the godfather of their kids. I'm so excited to go on a trip, but I just started to realize, I'm going to be hanging out with kids. Now I'm worried it'll be boring family-stuff for three days.

  Last sex was just over 4 weeks ago. A day or 2 before our FET on 9/23. 2 weeks restriction and then I've been bleeding and spotting on and off since 5w6d when I raced to re's office for scan and bloodwork. 7w1d today. Saw heartbeat this am and 20 min later gushing blood and clots. This is my first tri story. I am going to be one of those women who bleeds. Awesome. I'm so excited to wear a pad every day while pregnant. Yippee. Also. My hand hurts from whacking dh.
