This is a weekly check-in for those in their 1st trimester: weeks 1 through the end of week 13. I know we've all gone through a lot to get to this point so congratulations and best of luck to all of you over the next several months!
Please post a little about yourself, your EDD (if it’s not listed below), any upcoming appointments, symptoms, etc. Feel free to also share your IF journey, I know many of us can relate.
QOTW: Symptoms can be hit or miss during the 1st trimester. What is the worst symptom you have right now? Have you found ways to lessen it? If so, share your symptom tips!

Re: *1st Tri Check-in Week of March 7th!*
Despite this feeling, I am happy that my little snowflake is doing well and is healthy. I told myself whenever I did get pregnant, I wouldn't complain, so this is me not complaining, just stating facts.
My seabands do help me get through the day, along with preggie pops.
AFM - I'm excited to be at the 10week mark. I have my last ultrasound with my RE on Wednesday before he dismisses me (he tried to dismiss me two weeks ago but I begged for one last appt). I'm kind of sad because I miss the personalized attention I got. I also go in for my NIPT Maternti21 test on Wednesday, so I should get those results within a few weeks. I'm going to WDW on Thursday for a week for a work conference/vacation, so I can't wait to just be able to say I'm pregnant and not hide it while there.
QOTW: The worst symptom I have right now is my insane sense of smell. I get very close to getting sick from smells, so I suck on a jolly rancher to help keep the smells at bay. I have found peppermint essential oil to also help mask the smells that may trigger me.
@kennelchick, you are among friends, and feeling like you have a hangover without the previous night's fun is the worst. I hope it eases up for you very soon. I stopped having nausea a week ago, and I'll be in my 2nd trimester on Thursday. Fingers crossed for you!
@Piperella congrats on graduating from the RE, I know it's scary to leave the security of the RE! Mine dismissed me last week and I did not feel ready!
@chrissym126 thank you for your kind words. Congrats on making it to the second trimester!
Qotw: nausea has been the worst symptom along with bloating. But the nausea has been a lot better since I've been on Diclegis. I highly suggest anyone with bad MS ask their doctor for it, or you could just buy vitamin B6 and Unisom otc and make your own!
Hope everyone is doing well!
unfortunately, we found out last week that our baby had a very enlarged bladder at 12w4d and this week at 13w6d we did not have a heartbeat. Thank you for all of the support that I've received from this community.
@piperella please remove me from the tagged list.
GL everyone and I hope you all have healthy and happy pregnancies and enjoy your little ones when they arrive.
08/2015 at home IUI = BFN
IUI #4 - 08/2016 - 100MG Clomid + Ovidrel = ???
A little background : I have been diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17. I am 32 now, we have been TTC for almost two years but we started to seek help last year. After so many failed cycles, we had our first BFP somehow. My beta is increasing well so far but I am super nervous about all the things that could go wrong.
I calculated the EDD as 11/15 online:) My RE office has not told me much about the schedule after betas. I was anxious and talked to my OB, he wanted to see me on 25th at around 6w. So I am not sure if I need to keep that appointment or the RE will tell me something different. I am just waiting now.
I hope to stay on this board and share/support as much as I can.
A little about our trek (it's much more than a journey after how long we've been at it!): started ttc in March 2014, first appointment with RE in August 2014 as I had not ovulated (though I bled) since we started ttc. Thanks PCOS! We did 6 rounds of IUI with clomid, all BFNs (except the first, which was ectopic). Moved to IVF last September, did one fresh and two frozen transfers. Second one took.
I went in today for my first OB ultrasound at my fertility clinic, and I measured at 5w5d. My doc saw a tiny flickering heart, though I'm not quite sure if I did. He was kinda standing in front of the monitor so it made it a bit harder for me to see. I go back in next Friday morning for another US and more blood work.
My edd is 11/4/16.

@zoefer thank you so much we are hanging in there,taking it one day at a time. I am so very happy to see that you've been able to graduate to this board! I've been rooting for you for a long time!

I didn't answer the QOTW during my last post because I wasn't quite sure what QOTW stood for
So now I am answering it: I think it may be in part because I've got a cold, but whenever I move around for the past few days I feel like I have a stitch in my tummy, like when you run too fast and your side hurts. It isn't super painful, but I hope it's letting me know that LO is still growing!

The worst symptom for me has been heartburn. I've only ever had it while preggers. It makes it hard to eat, but I'm not complaining. I'll take any crappy symptom for a family any day.
Loss mentioned:
My name is Ayah, and we have been TTC an addition to our family for 3 years now. We have been taking treatments for a little over a year when we found out I have PCOS. After a couple miscarriages, I came back to the IF board last month. We just got our BFP earlier this week, and our EDD is 11/18. We are super nervous, and are scared to feel excited once again, but hoping that our u/s on the 28th can allow us to stop holding our breath.
@vnegron87 I'm so sorry about the news, you're in my thoughts. (HUGS)
Congratulations to the rest of you. I wish us all a happy and healthy 9 months.

We have another u/s on Monday. After the bleeding scare last sat, I was on be dress for the week. I feel MUCH better physically and emotionally. I'm not near as scared as I was. I will still rest easier seeing that little baby again in a few days.
Qotw: it used to be my sore boobs. I got a few cheap nursing bras at Burlington and wear them, even to sleep in. It really has helped!
Right now, at a little over 7 weeks, my MS is kicking my butt. I eat all the preggie pops, candies, crackers, soups, etc. I think eating time meals more often has really helped. I also have blown my healthy lifestyle. If I'm craving it and my stomach can tolerate it- I eat it with no regrets!!
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
For some that don't know me:
33yrs old Dutch girl living in Norway, single and preggers (boy I really am aren't I!) of a Danish donor after 2nd FET.
I don't 'feel' pregnant, like no morning sickness or smelling things.
I even woke up Friday with the most horrible feeling that I wasn't pregnant anymore.
As I have had tiny cramps since my FET and they'd stop I really thought that was it. But they are back again, so hope all is well.
It might sound weird, but I kinda wished right now I had ms, just to know that I am really pregnant.
(should I end up getting ms and complain about it, you may throw that sentence in my face!)
My edd is (my estimation) 9th Nov. Which is quite special as (s)he's 'conceived' in November too
