Re: 3/4/16 Friday Ticker Change!
What (if any) symptoms are you having? The worst is the fatigue. I'm always tired. I also feel a little nauseated if I get hungry but then nothing sounds good to eat.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? We have told most family and close friends. We didn't do anything elaborate for anyone, we just told them.
What have you bought for the baby so far? DH and I bought the baby a plush lamb (so soft!). SIL bought us a frame to match it. MIL wanted to buy the crib for us and she actually ordered it yesterday. I'm going to start stocking up on onesies and socks soon.

What (if any) symptoms are you having? Boobs of fire. Peeing a lot. A few random teary moments. A little fatigue. Not so much nausea but a fair amount of indigestion/burpiness/general food weirdness.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? Nope nope nope nope nope not yet. The only people that know aside from DH are my OB's office and personal trainer (and you all, I guess). It just feels way too early. We don't even have an ultrasound scheduled until April 6th (should be around 10+5). If DH doesn't burst before then we'll start telling people after that. If everything goes okay and the timing holds we've got some really cute reveals planned -- FIL is a tax attorney who does our taxes, so we'll hand him and MIL "one more piece of tax paper" just before April 15, which will hopefully be a sonogram picture indicating we have a dependent on the way in 2016. :-) My family and close friends we will probably just tell, but there may be come cute reveals there still to be figured out. For work it will be my week to bring in Friday breakfast for the office in mid-to-late April, so I'll bring in muffins frosted with one letter each of "BABY [LASTNAME] DUE 10/28" and watch people figure it out. And for Facebook, we're Broncos fans, and the timing is almost perfect, so we kind of have to recut that awful "Superbowl Babies" commercial to include our addition to the club.
What have you bought for the baby so far? Not a thing. Again, too early for me. Maybe after the ultrasound.

BFP #2 2/18/16
What (if any) symptoms are you having? Fatigue, nausea hasn't been as bad since I started Diclegis a week ago. Lots of bloating - I know I'm not "showing" but I look like I did when I was 20 weeks pregnant with my first and other people have made comments.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? Just immediate family and a few friends. I would really like to wait until 12 weeks to tell work and others, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to wait that long - I've seen people eyeing my stomach, and two people at work have made comments now. We announced our daughter on Facebook just after 12 weeks but might wait a little longer this time around.
What have you bought for the baby so far? Nothing! Our daughter is 17 months so we already have a lot of what we will need. At some point I'm sure we will buy more clothes (especially if it's a boy), a double stroller, another car seat, etc.
What (if any) symptoms are you having? My nausea is really bad at night, so sleeping is hard. Bloat/gas.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it?
A few friends after we got our beta, we texted. We told our moms last weekend. We gave them a gift bag with a personalized photo album, due date countdown, and a sono pic from ivf. We will tell the world later on.
What have you bought for the baby so far? A ton of stuff!! Since we had to pay for ivf out of pocket, we have spread out baby purchases for the last 6 months so we wouldn't be financially drained from ivf.
RE DX for me: Anovulatory cycles/Mild PCOS RE DX for DW: Endometrioma on left Ovary.
Reciprocal Ivf Feb 2016. DW eggs and I am carrying. EDD: 10/27/16
8 weeks today! I don't know why, but it feels like a milestone! Baby is the size of a little candied cerize as per Ovia.
What (if any) symptoms are you having?
I was in panic mode yesterday because I was feeling great yesterday. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were awful days consisting of sleeping in the car during my lunch and a very foggy brain. But yesterday I was fine and of course the panic set in. Where did my nausea go? Why am I not tired? Why am I not falling asleep by 830PM? Why am I not as bloated? I was a wreck. Today has been kind of the same, but I did feel low-grade nausea as I was driving to work. I felt better when I read in "Expecting Better" that on average women experience only 6 really bad days of during their first tri. I really should stop overthinking everything.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it?
I've told a few close friends and my sister. I haven't told everyone yet. I'm telling my parents on Monday after the ultrasound/check-up if everything goes well.
What have you bought for the baby so far?
Nothing. I'm superstitious, and I just can't do it! I'll wait till 2nd tri!
What (if any) symptoms are you having? I have mild nausea mostly all day long. I'm also super tired... that's been the hardest symptom for me to deal with and still get work done.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it?
I have told a few close friends who were supportive of me during my infertility and efforts to conceive. But we haven't told most of our friends and haven't told our families yet. We are planning on telling most people after 12 weeks.
What have you bought for the baby so far? Nothing yet! I have made some plans for how we are going to reorganize the house to make space for baby stuff. We are converting an office into a nursery so we need to shuffle things around. But I haven't done any actual buying.
What (if any) symptoms are you having? Sore boobs, a few random bouts of nausea, waking up to pee in the middle of the night but not really having much pee.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? A few friends know. I think we will start telling family in the next few weeks. I don't have my first OB appt until I'm almost 10 weeks and I'm not sure I can wait that long. Plus, I think my mom is just going to be able to "tell" when she sees me for Easter. I think we will wait as long as possible to tell DS (he's almost 4.5)
What have you bought for the baby so far? Nothing. We have a lot of essentials from DS, but I really have the urge to set the crib up. However, that needs to wait until DS knows!
MMC 3.30.16
What (if any) symptoms are you having? I was so nauseous for over a week until the nurse out me on a new prenatal vitamin with more B6 which has helped greatly. But I still feel eh sometimes. Definitely still very tired. All I want to do is nap.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? Immediate family knows and close friends and my boss's. We wont be making the BIG announcement until after 13 weeks or so...
What have you bought for the baby so far? Nothing. I can't bring myself to do buy anything just yet. My MIL has bought a few things though.
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.
BFP 02-15-16 with our first
IT'S A BOY!!!
What (if any) symptoms are you having? Just when I think the boob soreness is going away, it doesn't. The fatigue is getting worse. And my latest whine is I'm always out of breath. Like breathing hard, heart beating faster, every time I do anything. It's annoying.
Have you told your friends and family you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? We have only told my oldest son. I don't know why I haven't told anyone else. It's our last and I guess I'm waiting on some really creative way of telling everyone. Maybe Easter, maybe in April when we find out the sex. I don't know yet.
What have you bought for the baby so far? Nothing. Unless you count the cute nursing cover I picked up yesterday. If it's another boy, I'm covered. We'll just need another car seat and crib.
What (if any) symptoms are you having? Tons of bloating and fatigue still, mild nausea (it's gotten worse the past few days), headaches.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? This weekend we are finally going to tell the in laws, then next week my parents! We are planning on giving them a gift (it's FILs birthday) with mugs saying grandpa/grandma established 2016. After that I plan on telling our siblings by texting a picture of the sono. And I'm telling my cousin/bff Monday. Other than that, everyone else can wait until the first trimester is over.
What have you bought for the baby so far? Nothing, although I did buy a groupon for prenatal yoga. I just upgraded to an SUV aka my mommy mobile, that's kind of for baby!
It's a boy!
How far along are you?
9 weeks baby is the size of an olive and big milestone baby is not considered an embryo anymore baby is now a fetus. Not sure what that made me just super excited when I read it
What (if any) symptoms are you having?
My MS has subsided a lot i was having all day MS now maybe once or twice a day and usually only if i haven't eaten in too long. The new ones got a few days ago is the lower back pain ouch.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it?
we have told family we have close to us because they would have figured out if we didn't. One of them had a birthday days after we found out and although I'm not a huge drinker he would have known something was up if i refused to take shot with the birthday boy I'm DD only works for so log with him. Waiting to tell our parents next week when we will be home we wanted to tell them sooner but i can't pass up telling them in person. We will be playing dictionary and have them guess the word pregnant for one set the other we have a word puzzle for. I have ideas for FB?social media announcement but i'm not settle on anything yet.
What have you bought for the baby so far?
Nop we are moving so its less stuff to pack, We did receive a hand print clay thing from a friend and luckily my cousin decided she wanted to ship what she bought for us all i said was that you so much I can't add more stuff to the suitcase. I have been looking into different stuff though just mostly research on diaper bags and car seats.
How far along are you? 9 weeks!
What (if any) symptoms are you having? Exhausted and unmotivated day and night! Also maybe tmi, but along with that comes absolutely NO sex drive!(poor hubby) I'm also a lot more nauseous this pregnancy than with my first. It could be worse, but when it hits, it's very strong and hard not to puke. Although I haven't thrown up in 2 weeks I just feel sick a lot :-/
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? I have told my mom and sister, a few close friends, and my in laws as of last weekend after our first Dr. Appointment. We just keep bringing him places with his big brother shirt on, and waiting for someone to see it! As far as a letting more extended family, and public announcements. Not until Easter I don't believe.
What have you bought for the baby so far? Nothing yet, although I've tried a few times to score a Tula blanket, because I want one so bad! To no avail! We already have one, so there aren't a lot of big purchases needed aside from a crib. Which we won't get until we find out gender. If we find out number 2 is a girl though. Oh lordy, the spending will start!
What (if any) symptoms are you having? Every time I eat I want to throw up....so....I'm just really looking forward to the 2nd trimester and hopefully having this all day morning sickness go away.
Have you told you family and friends you are pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it? I've only told two friends. I planned on telling all of our families for Easter, but my sister noticed the band of my maternity jeans (so bloated and reg jeans are just way too uncomfortable) one day after lunch. Of course, I denied and just said that I gained weight. When I got home, I put my DD in her "Big Sister" t-shirt and had to walk into the kitchen to show my sister. She was shocked. She won't tell anyone so we still plan on telling our parents and siblings on Easter.
What have you bought for the baby so far? Ha, NOTHING. This is our second LO so I already have a lot of stuff (and plenty of clothes if it turns out to be another girl). The only things that I will need to get is a double stroller (I'm considering the Contours Options Elite Tandem stroller), an infant insert for my mamaroo, and I'm looking into the halo swivel bassinest instead of using our regular bassinet.

Exhausted. All. The. Time.

Nausea and exhaustion. I've been such a lazy bum.
Have you told family and friends you're pregnant yet? If so, how? If not, when do you plan on it?
We've told immediate family. We just called or Skyped to let parents and siblings know. Since my son knows, we're waiting for him to tell extended family and friends.

Just the moms and a few people at work (for work safety/schedule reasons). We'll announce to family at Easter and then social media a bit later.
What have you bought for the baby so far? Just a cute pair of jammies and some little booties. I couldn't resist! It's a good thing there isn't more neutral clothing I like or I'd go nuts. We still have the big big stuff from DD. If it's a boy we will have a bit more shopping to do though!
