@smmatt08same thing happened to me with my ultrasound yesterday too! I was so nervous that something was wrong, because of the spotting, that I only felt relief when I saw the little heart flickering away. DH was there with me and I could see him smiling but he said I looked so stiff and had a blank look on my face. Afterwards I was completely enthralled and couldn't stop talking about it but during I was so not emotional, I thought I would of cried but I didn't. Know you're not alone there!
The same thing happened to me yesterday. With our son's ultrasound I cried from happiness the second I saw the heartbeat... with this little one as soon as I saw the heartbeat it made me even more scared (due to me bleeding). I thought... great now if I end up losing this baby I'll have known that he/she was "alive" and feel even more horrible. Ugh I need to stop thinking so negatively!!!!!
I have another confession... I have an embarrising amount of pictures on my phone of my postive HPTs and I look at them randomly throughout the day.
Guilty, as well.
Also, I kept them. They're in a little baggy in my nightstand. DH and BFF agree- I'm disgusting.
Oh, I kept mine too. They're in my medicine cabinet in the bathroom
I only took one test, and I didn't take any pictures of it, BUT it's been sitting on the bathroom counter since 1/23. It's a digital, and still says PREGNANT very clearly on it. Not sure when or if I'll throw it out.

I still have all my positive pregnancy tests from my first pregnancy in 2013 And I'll be keeping all mine from this pregnancy too!

Ummmm I may have taped each positive wondfo to a sheet of graphing paper, each day's test below the prior day's test, so I could easily see the positives getting darker. And that sheet of paper might still be on my nightstand...
I'm insanely excited that we are moving. Not only because the house is beautiful and we will have our independence back, but because I get to pack everything we own and dictate what will and will not make it through the move. No more junk or thread bare clothes in my house darling husband.
@Piperella you are not the first person to bring up the ticker and it makes me feel so guilty. I use TB mobile and for the life of me can't figure out how to edit or update my signature/tickers! Open to suggestions.

I have to be honest - I have a hard time keeping people straight. I'm hoping that as this group progresses, if I am lucky enough to stay in it, I start being able to match people better. But for some reason I have trouble remembering names that aren't real names and pictures, especially if they're not pictures of the people. That said, I know I have a non-real-name and not-me-picture, which is because I'm "hiding" in case anyone I actually know sees me!
@korycir You're only 137 weeks pregnant.. not as bad as some others... I don't know how to do it using the app, as I don't see tickers or signatures on the app. However, you could use the browser on your phone to log in and possibly change it that way.
Gah, I feel horrible putting this out into the internets.... but SO has an ex-wife that will not quit. They've been divorced for more than 3 years and she still thinks she has some right to him. She won't acknowledge me as his partner even if: we live together, we've been together for over a year, their two daughters love me, and my SO's parents and family all have accepted me into the family. His ex-wife still says shit like "oh that girlfriend of yours is still in the picture?"
I fantasize about the day she comes to pick up the girls from our home, and she sees me and my huge belly. I'll just smile and wave and wish her a beautiful day.

Hahahaa. Guilty as well. I have all 4 still sitting in one of the bathroom shelves. I only have ONE picture though, of the very first test I took in my office bathroom.
I've never participated in a FFFC, but I want to add that when I see people with outdated tickers, especially the ones that say they are like 183 weeks pregnant, I try to imagine their avatar with a HUGE, octomom sized pregnant belly about to explode. People really need to update their tickers and signatures.
ETA: Needed to embellish the word HUGE.
There is a lady I work with who unfortunately carries her weight like a baby bump. Someone asked her like 2.5 yrs ago if she was pregnant and it's been on ongoing joke (that she loves to play along with) that her "baby" is already starting to walk inside the womb because it's been there so long....
@korycir I'm the same, I really only use my phone, and have no idea how to change any of my info. It took me two days just to figure out how to update my info for this pregnancy and not my daughter.
My two FFFC (on Saturday, yep), are that I love seeing the snark, but totally cry when it's directed at me. I'm like a closet snowflake, but I hate it. I hate my tear ducts!
Second, I got my BFP and was like, ummmm. I just had back surgery and our daughter just turned eight months. When we told our eleven year old about this baby, he literally looked at us like, seriously? I kind of wanted to say, I know kid, I'm right there with ya.
Flame me for being a heartless bitch--I'm not really, but I feel like it! I'll be excited, and I'll love this baby so so much, I'm just having a little trouble getting there.
@eve0614 I understand the feeling of being a biteacher underwhelmed with all the happy pregnancy feelings. I have a 3 yr old and 18m old and we live in a tiny house and I wanted another but holy hell I just keep thinking how the F*** am I going to do this!
I'm sure it'll get better but for now I'm wondering what the hell I was thinking!
I can't stand to read the posts where users complain about their symptoms. I know they're hard to deal with sometimes, but we should all feel lucky to even be able to complain of nausea.
After three consecutive miscarriages and being stuck in a Groundhog Day of ongoing first trimester months... I don't have it in me to complain or listen to complaining.
I'm so sorry for your losses. But I have to say, it's not fair or right to expect people not to complain because of your feelings. So I should never complain about work because some people don't have jobs. Or I can never vent about my 3 year old's attitude because some people don't have kids. Do you see what I'm saying? I'm not one to bitch about my symptoms to Internet strangers, but complaining to my husband about my indigestion and nausea doesn't mean I don't want this baby. It means the symptoms suck. That's all.
