I figured I could start the thread early as I want to complain before work. :P
Last night, my back started hurting from my growing boobs. My MS is hitting me pretty hard this time too, and I've had to rush off to the bathroom more than once at work. I wasn't working last time I was pregnant, so balancing work with pregnancy symptoms is difficult.
This is me too. Most of my symptoms disappear until around DD's nap time at which point I have a nap too because I'm knackered, then I wake up feeling nauseous. Things go downhill from there.
Neck pimples and face pimples have joined the party.
Well I did fairly well until yesterday on the way home from work. The cramping started and lasted all through last night, I didn't get any sleep.
More cramping this morning. No spotting, which makes me feel better. I POAS again this morning and it was completely diluted because of all the water I'm drinking but the line got really dark really fast, which also made me feel better.
I decided to stay home from work today and just rest and give myself a day. This weekend we have a lot to do that we can't easily explain our way out of. I'm just hoping today helps because this is so unnerving!
It really is unnerving. I even have pretty clear symptoms, dark tests and no cramping or spotting, so it's like... All signs point to yes. And yet I still can't relax.
Do you have an upcoming ultrasound scheduled? I know we are due the same day.
I'm glad you are taking a day off to just rest and I hope it does you some good!
Insomnia!!! Been awake 1.5hrs earlier than usual for the past week! So annoying. My nipples have been tingly off and on since I tested BFP but today is the first day they have also felt heavier. Hoping this is good. I am on progesterone suppositories and baby aspirin. I have one more week on them at which time I was to see my dr again but I couldn't get in until a week after my prescription runs out. I am very nervous about that.
I had to wake up quite a bit last night to pee, which means I was up for most of the night! I have also been having cramps and feeling crazy checking to see if there is any spotting going on. Other than that I have been lucky (I think) because I have been able to keep down food and just have been eating smaller meals but a lot of them throughout the day.
I fell asleep last night by 8. I woke up twice to pee. Had a weird dream about a guy eating fruit. This morning my back hurts, my boobs are sore, and I have some light cramps. Also, I've been thirsty for days. I'm hoping I can make it through today without heartburn.
I totally get you guys. Every time I wipe, I check. Paranoia
I woke up at 4:15 when I heard my LO fussing. He went right back to sleep but then I was awake. I had to pee, I was starving, and I was dying of thirst. I can never just roll over and go back to sleep so I laid there for 1 1/2 hours tossing and turning.
This was me two nights ago...my LO had a nightmare and after finally calming her down and settling her back into bed I was up....from 4 a.m. onwards.
Woke up this morning completely exhausted, and I got like 9 hours of sleep last night! I also have a stretching feeling in my ute, and my face has broken out like a teenager.
Cramping still and a little heart burn last night. I am also starving a lot. And my Nerves are killing me, 4th betas are today. Ugh this waiting is killing me.
I'm gassy, my breasts are swollen (no complaints) and hurt (complaints) and for some reason my legs ache...like I pulled a hammy or something but I havent done anything athletic! Anyone else have leg problems?
Hi guys!! Brand new to this forum! So I received my first positive pregnancy test for baby#1 on Tuesday! !! I got blood work done that night with HCG 17.8.... doc says super early pregnancy (it's been 3 weeks since my last period). So today I retest to see if levels have gone up. I strongly believe they did because my at home pregnancy test was way darker positive!!! I am also experiencing a TON of symptoms today and yesterday. Sore breasts. I can also smell EVERYTHInG. Esp anything chemically. Which I walk away from obviously. I actually am going to buy all new cleaning products today because of this! Has anyone had an overwhelming sense of smell yet???
Just alot of worrying here today, some cramping, my boobs are kinda sore. I can't wait for my u/s on the 17th, the wait is killing me. My dr said I could get a blood test if I wanted but I said it was OK but now I'm thinking I do want it just to see what my levels are. UGH
I am just BEYOND tired... I work three 12-hour days (RN) so when I get home around 8pm I am up for long enough to eat a quick dinner and say hi to my husband, then in bed by 9pm. I cannot believe the exhaustion! Other than that just slightly sore boobs and a little nausea feeling if I haven't eaten. Come to think of it... I'm pretty hungry all. the. time. yikes! I just want to feel some more obvious symptoms to reassure myself things are progressing well. US is not until 11/18!

I am home today as well! My symptoms have been steady over the past few days: sore breasts, slight fever, gas, exhausted, peeing SO much, and mild cramping (which is super unsettling after MC in June). Last night the cramping was worse, to the point where I vomited. Decided I needed to take a day off (I'm a HS teacher) to rest and chill out! I'm due July 10, first appt isn't until Nov 25th and I have no idea how I will remain patient until then!!
Today I had a very slight amount of spotting. Due to my hormonal self, my reaction was tons of anxiety. I've monitored it all morning and when I was finally content that it was over, I started bawling.
It doesn't help that I just called my OB and they scheduled my paperwork appointment for December 1st, so it'll be even further after that that I get an ultrasound and an actual prenatal appointment. So my symptoms today are anxiety and tears.
TodayI have a huge pimple on my chin. I have sore boobs and they are growing like crazy. When I wake in the am my belly is small and flat and by the end of the day its huge and bloated...I look like I am about 5 months preggo! Very uncomfortable! Overall very tired and just "not with it" feeling through out the day.
@mistabinx I asked about cramping when I called for my appointment, and they said not to worry as long as there is no bleeding. While I was up, I passed some gas and the cramping went pretty much away, so I think it was probably just that. I've been a bit constipated, which is very rare for me. And as ridiculous as it is, I have a tendency to faint, or nearly faint, even when I'm not in a ton of pain, which usually causes me to vomit. So I think that may have been the culprit. I am definitely paying close attention and will call if it happens again. Thanks so much for your concern!
It doesn't help that on top of this exhaustion I have cut out coffee and diet coke, which I LOVE... so it is so hard! My RE says no caffeine, have any of your docs recommended you cut it completely?

Amen to the acne. So fun when my skin resembles that of the students I am teaching. Not to mention wanting to puke on them all morning (and not in a metaphorical way). First appointment today! Can't wait!!!
Tired, oh so tired! Even though I'm finally sleeping through the night I am never in a deep sleep and am constantly aware of what's going on. My nipples are sensitive. I'm gassy and bloated. I think that's it for today... Did I mention tired?

NOPE. Thank goodness. One to two small cups of coffee a day is the generally recommended amount, I believe, but everyone's OB is different. I think the limit is 200mg caffeine/day. I try to keep it to more like 100, but it depends on your comfort level-and if you want to not listen to your doctor.
nausea on and off throughout the day, gas is finally letting up!, pimples, super sense of smell, and I've been an exceptionally moody biatch! The slight cramps today are also worrisome.

I'm just feeling moody, hungry, and crampy, and my boobs are big and sore. If it weren't for my POAS addiction (Wondfos everyday, yo!), I would probably be assuming that this was all PMS-related.
I think I have morning sickness starting to creep up... Was feeling a little sick last week but it would pass very quickly. It's been coming on stronger and lasting longer. I was hoping to keep my secret from my work until the new year but I don't think that's going to happen.
