Thank you for the positive thoughts everyone. Things aren't looking good. US showed only a gestational sac developed to 5wks 1 day. We thought I was 8 weeks. I could just be earlier than we though. But more than likely it's a MC and it stopped developing at 5 wks. OR its ectopic. Doing tests in the next several days to sort it out.
@SDSwenson I hope things turn around for you. It's possible you ovulated later than you thought. My EDD was moved back more than two weeks. Fx, hang in there sweetie.
@AmMcc12 I like your way of handling boredom! I bought a journal from Amazon: "My Pregnancy Journal" by Pearhead. It has really simple prompts and fill-ins which I like, but lots of space for pictures. I did all the long journal responses the first time around and always felt like I was struggling to say something important LOL.
I am so sorry @SDSwenson!! Sending positive thoughts your way.
How far along are you? EDD? 6 weeks today!
How are you feeling? Today was not fun. I felt tired and spacey with a headache all day. I have had tiny bouts of nausea this evening but a cold walk outside with my dog helped with that.
Doing anything baby related today? Bumping and browsing some of the new pregnancy books I just got in the mail
Raves/Rants/Randoms- I haven't really felt like crying yet but I definitely felt more angry today and easily set off inside.
GTKY: Tell us about your MIL- My MIL is great! She is very intelligent and pretty funny. She is recently retired from being a director in social work so she cares very much about babies and is anxious for us to have one. We are waiting to tell the family still but this will be her first grand baby. My husband is an only child so she tends to expect things like a phone call once a week so that is a little weird for me (she lives 5 mins away down the road) but I find it endearing that my husband calls her bc he knows it keeps her happy.

I'll have to look into that! Right now I have a regular notebook that I was tracking cycles in and writing important notes since finding out
@mom2adoodle no I guess not. I thought thT was strange too. They need to monitor my levels to know. She did an U/S and she said based on that it seemed to be all "in uterine" but she said she couldn't know for sure. She's more so leaning toward the MC, unfortunately. I'd rather have that then an ectopic but I'm hoping the bleeding is just... random and I'm less far along. Which is bizarre.
How are you feeling? Sick. So sick. IBS flare with crazy morning sickness = constant dehydration. I feel crummy.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Raves/Rants/Randoms: my toddler discovered cailou (or however it's spelled). Worst. Kids. Show. Ever. Seriously! How is this show still even on the air?!
Questions? And fellow IBS suffers on here?
GTKY: Tell us about your MIL.
My MIL and I have a bipolar relationship. One minute everything is peachy. The next I'm a terrible mom and woo is her. Ugh. Drama!
How far along are you? EDD? 4 weeks 4 days, 9/24/16
How are you feeling? TIRED! I've had a rough January because DH and I have both been sick for all of it. Thank God for neti pots! My breasts are killing me, and I'm already nauseous. Part of me is hoping it doesn't get worse in a few weeks, but another part of me is hoping it does because that will mean I'm still pregnant. This is my first time being pregnant, but three friends have suffered miscarriages recently, so my nerves are on edge. I can hardly wait until the 8 week confirmation visit! Until then, just trying to keep calm.
Doing anything baby related today? No. I feel like it's too early to get into all that- like it will somehow jinx things!
Raves/Rants/Randoms: I have never been less hungry in my life! I thought I'd be hungry all the time, but I just want nothing but water with lemon in it all the time. I've had to force myself to eat 3 meals each day, but I am trying to make sure they're nutritious. Still, I'm losing weight! I'm a bit overweight, and I didn't expect to get pregnant while I was this large. Part of me is like "woohoo! getting back down to normal size before the bump!" and another part is terrified because you don't hear many people recommending weight loss during pregnancy.
Questions? Anyone else have exercise induced asthma? There's not much information on it. I've been trying to be low-key so I don't need to use my albuterol sulfate inhaler. Like, I walk instead of jogging (which was really a walk with a hop anyway!), and I take longer breaks with my hand weights (5 lb) than I normally would.
GTKY: Tell us about your MIL Well, DH's parents moved far away right when DH and I started dating so it took a while to get to know her. We're both pretty awkward and shy, so I'm just now starting to feel comfortable around her. She's actually a really great person, but she's very high energy where DH and I are pretty low-key. So, we're always exhausted when she visits. Still, with the distance there isn't time to clash.

@SDSwenson Oh no!!!! Keep us posted! Fingers crossed for you. They couldn't rule out ectoptic right away???
