Hey ladies I need a little pep talk. When I wiped earlier I had a little bit of colored discharge. More on the yellowish-beige side (not like CM) and now I'm freaking out and scare it's going to turn brown or red. Prayers would be appreciated
I've been lurking a bit. Decided to check in. I had a loss a while ago. Nearly five years now.... At that time, we weren't trying (not that it made it easier) but now that we decided to have another and got pregnant, I'm freaking out at times! had a bit of blood, but my doctor reassured me that all was okay. praying it stays that way! The spotting has stopped and i'm having some of the normal "pregnancy symptoms" that are hanging on and getting stronger.
My first doctor's appointment feels like it's years away!
Thanks girls for the prayers and thoughts. Whatever happened seems to have stop. Boobs pain and nausea still going strong so I guess it's good. I hate how tiny little things send me into full panic mode. I need to chill!!!!
Thinking of you @jolydan, totally makes sense that it's anxiety provoking, nice work getting through the day one minute at a time!! we've been there...
Welcome @samantha1206, glad to be on this journey with you! totally makes sense that this past experience would make things harder for you right now, i hope time passes as quickly as it can...
Mmm what about we make a list of what makes time go faster... about a hundred times a day I think "I can't wait for the next months to be over" which doesn't help because a) it makes time pass even slower, b) i don't want to constantly try to avoid my current experiences even if they're unpleasant...
So... things that help make time pass without feeding the "time-struggle" would be...
- TV shows
(Ok that's sad I blanked for 5min after TV shows hahaha)
- Knitting
- Sending random text messages to friends/partner confessing to bizarre cravings (2 days ago I HAD to get McDonalds when I left work even though I never eat there, and I hadn't eaten beef in almost 10 years - the ensuing text message conversations were pretty funny, my friends thought I was pranking them)
- Work (yeah work has actually been fairly distracting even though it's also stressful)
- Showering
- Short walks during which I take pictures
- Making effort to skype with friends to catch up on what's going with them (work in progress...)
- Teasing partner/husband (actually he doesn't like that, but it is distracting....)
- Mindfulness meditation (in theory, in practice I'm still not doing this very often at all, but I have an app with very short ones, like 5min, that are tolerable)
Feel free to add to the list... I hope you are all having an ok weekend managing everything...
I know I've said this elsewhere on TB, but I've been talking to my baby in my head, or out loud if I'm alone. When I'm getting light cramps, I say "baby see my uterus is growing for you!". I repeat " you are growing, being nourished, you are healthy and you know how much we love you!" It helps me celebrate this pregnancy rather than constantly worrying. Positive affirmations...they really work to calm my nerves!

@jolydan I'm glad everything seems ok now! I know every LITTLE off thing is terrifying, it's just the frustrating world of being PGAL. Hang in there!
My best friend is in town and probably won't be back in town for another 6 months or so, so I'm planning to tell her tonight about the baby. I was in Meijer getting ingredients for green bean casserole since I am majorly craving it right now and stopped in the baby section to see if they had a cute bib that said something about an auntie that I could give her, and I totally flashed back to getting a cute onesie for my mom last pregnancy/loss. It freaked me out, just realizing that I'm within about a week of where I lost last time, and that loss came out of left field after everything seemed to be going ok. I hope I get to a point where I can just relax!!!
Moral of the story, I'm in the worry boat too. One more week and I will be further than I've ever been, come on baby!

Hello everyone! My 72 hr lurker period is over and I just wanted to say how grateful I am to all of you. I am PGAL and having this group of supportive women going through the same thing has been a small miracle for me. I am thrilled and terrified and excited and worried all at once all the time. I got my BFP on the 17th and first doctors appointment is on Tuesday.
Thinking a million positive thoughts for each of you every day and will be checking in again soon!
Had our first ultrasound today! We went in early to ensure we were implanted correctly. 5w6d and we seen a beautiful yolk sack and teeny tiny little dot of baby. RE said everything is measuring perfect and we go back next week to hopefully see a heartbeat
@winnie1122 I had the same feeling today when I was Black Friday shopping! I feel any buy pregnancy related or baby related would be a total jinx. It's irrational but hey aren't we all a little
I'm feeling pretty anxious this evening. Yesterday all my nausea and exhaustion disappeared and now today I have started spotting bright red again. I don't have cramps but my lower back hurts like it would with my period. I already had red blood once that resolved and ended up being nothing but I'm not feeling good about this instance. I'm trying super hard to stay calm and just wait it out but it's pretty hard right now. :-/

Thanks for starting this thread! This is definitely the spot for me. It really is so nice to know I'm not alone and everyone in here has the same daily concerns and worries that I do. I sure hope that we're all wasting our time worrying and in time, we're bringing home that baby!!
I'm currently almost 10 weeks. According to my first ultrasound when I would have been almost 8 weeks, baby looked more like 7 weeks. Because of my past, my OB has me scheduled to go back so we'll see what happens on Tuesday! It's so exciting yet nerve wracking at the same time. I just keep telling myself nothing about this pregnancy has been like the last. Hopefully that's a good thing.
I look forward to staying in touch with you all throughout the months!!!
I'm hanging in there. MS had kicked in. I'm trying to figure out something to eat in the middle of the night as the nausea seems to be triggered by an empty stomach/low blood sugar. I feel OK once I can keep something down. Lemonade has been a life saver as far as liquids I can stomach. Hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving (if you celebrated).
Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I spoke with my midwife this morning and she is going to try and get me an ultrasound to check things out. Unfortunately the bleeding has not stopped and now has clots so I'm still not feeling optimistic. The midwife says it's not over until it's over so I'm just trying to keep myself busy to take my mind off things. Lots of laundry and baking today! I'll update if anything changes. Hope all you ladies are feeling well and enjoying your weekend.

Today I bought two baby lambs at the store while out and about. One is white and one is grey. I know its too early to be buying things for them and my husband said I shouldn't in case something happened but I just needed to. If something happens, I'll pack them away. I think since I'm at nine weeks, and I'll be nearly eleven by my next ultrasound I'm going to try to relax a little and enjoy being pregnant. If I can enjoy this nausea and barfing, that is. I'm having no issues, no cramping, no bleeding, just a lot of anxiety when I think too much.
I've been pretty sick and the fatigue is really kicking in. I've been off all week and am dreading going back to work tomorrow. Trying to take comfort in the physical symptoms as a sign that things are progressing inside. Still 3 more weeks until my first appointment
Doing alright! Regaining some energy which is nice. This might be the most productive Sunday I've had in awhile, lol! Survived a Christmas gathering with friends last night. The husband and I had many lines all planned out but shockingly no one really gave me a hard time about not drinking. They may have a clue and are being polite. I'm a terrible liar so I'm happy for that!! Lol
I had the most horrible, vivid dream last night that I started bleeding a lot like my mc. It felt so real. I woke up and ran to the bathroom in a panic. My viability scan is in the morning and I'm so nervous. I think it's weighing on me heavily. Fingers crossed for a good ultrasound. I've never had a good one.
GL tomorrow @tennisbabymama !! Thinking positive thoughts for you.

Doing okay! Very nauseated the last day or two and grumpy with some hunger too. It amazes my DH that I can be nauseated and hungry at the same time. the spotting I was having remained light for a couple days but Today's the first day I haven't seen any and hoping is remains that way. Starting to feel more positive and letting myself enjoy being pregnant
Been having some moderate pain in my left side the last couple hours and (tmi) yellowish discharge when I wipe. I'm flipping out that it's an ectopic pregnancy.

@megstervt Agree with above that you should call your doctor, even just for peace of mind. I've never experienced one but I've heard that an ectopic pregnancy is extremely painful so fingers crossed that your moderate pain is just from your body adjusting. Thinking and praying for you!! Keep us updated.
Not yet. I've had pain on my left side almost every cycle after ovulation, so I keep trying to tell myself that it's not pregnancy related. It's stopped now, but I'll probably call tomorrow during normal business hours and talk with a nurse.
@tennisbabymama FX for a successful scan tomorrow! I also had a very vivid dream about my viability scan...which isn't for a while. It was not good to say the least...so I guess it was a nightmare. My doc is calling tomorrow to schedule mine.
Just went to the toilet and saw blood when I wiped... I'm 7 weeks and 3 days. Not bleeding heavily and no clots but I'm now terrified that I'm losing it again. DH is really upset and neither of us know what to do. Waiting for the dr to call me back and just praying now that it's nothing. I had some spotting at 5 weeks which was nothing and had a healthy scan at 6 weeks... But this is definitely more than the spotting before.
