PGAL Check-In 4/11

Re: PGAL Check-In 4/11

  • My first check in here. I 

    How far along are you?
    5w3d 

    How are you feeling/symptoms?
    I've been so tired. I'm not sure my appetite is really any different; I've always been known for a good appetite!

     I've been very lightly spotting once a day since two days before my BFP, and it has taken forever (it seems) to get an appointment. I got some heavier yesterday and today, but in short episodes that follow the spotting pattern. I orig assumed implantation bleeding, but it went in over a week and I got a lot of reassurance from friends that it might just be a thing I have during this pregnancy. The heavier bit yesterday afternoon and this afternoon though had me concerned. I go in for u/s etc in the morning (4/14).

    Any Rants/Raves/Questions/Advice Needed?
    i wish I could just know what was up without needing repeat tests. I feel like this is most likely leaning towards a m/c but it seems really strange and confusing. maybe something rare like sch but I just feel frustrated in a holding pattern. 

    Dh and I met when he was playing as a drummer in a rock n roll band in college. We have been together since 1998!

  • Hi everyone!!!!!!

    How far along are you: 3w5d got my BFP today at dpo12

    how are you feeling/symptoms: right now just shock and anxiety. I was telling hubs I probably won't feel relaxed until after the chromosome testing ( if we make it at far) after finding out our MC was from 3 chromosomal abnormalities 

    Any rants/raves/questions/advice needed? So far nope

    How did you meet your DH/SO: we both played sports at the same college. He transferred in my sophomore year and some of his teammates I was friends with brought him along to a preparty at my apartment before classes started back. I called "dibs" to my friends the minute he walked in and we have been together ever since, 10.5 years now

  • How far along are you? I wasn't 100% sure (because with pregnancy comes an inability to do math) but I see that @SnobunnieMel is 3w5d and noticed that your due date is Christmas Eve and so is mine! So basically I'm a creeper that is 3w5d I guess. 

    How are you feeling/symptoms?
    I've been crampy, but I'm chalking it up to implantation. It comes and goes and could possibly be digestive system related. It's hard to tell sometimes. Other than that, my boobs have grown to size humongous and ouch, I've had moments of queasiness, and I pretty much wake up tired. 

    Any Rants/Raves/Questions/Advice Needed?
    Nothing yet really. I'm doing my best to not go crazy and overthink every little twinge. I scheduled my first appointment today and it's April 25, which is a week or two sooner than they have seen me for my two previous pregnancies! I'm guessing that's due to our loss in October. 

    GTKY:  How did you meet your DH/SO?
    Church youth group in high school! We annoyed each other and were merely acquaintances. Fast forward five years where we went on a trip with a group of friends and we hit it off like crazy!

    @AKremer & @JenRN2009  @FiancB- NICU nurses literally changed my life.  What a kind, compassionate, knowledgeable group of medical professionals.  I know all nurses are, but NICU nurses have a special place in my heart.  Fielding all the crazy parent/Doctor questions during rounds, keeping your calm in such a stressful environment, being a champion and educator for new parents, and taking wonderful care of our most prized possessions.  Thank you... just thanks.

  • @MrsBinPA I'm happy to see your update, so great to see the heartbeat!

    How far along are you? 7 weeks today

    How are you feeling/symptoms?
    I've become very tired. Monday hit like a ton of bricks and every day after got worse. Boobs are still big and sore and I'm seriously bloated. Right now I'll take all the symptoms. I told DH I wanted ms so I had that big symptom. He thought I was crazy. I know I am.

    Any Rants/Raves/Questions/Advice Needed?
    I told my boss this week. I wasn't planning on it, but I have a child who becomes very violent in a tantrum and I'm genuinely afraid. Usually I'd have no problem handling it, but I'm not putting my baby in that situation.

    GTKY:  How did you meet your DH/SO?
    We met in high school but did not date, he says I was too cool for him. We dated briefly 5 years later but it didn't pan out. Three years after that he called me out of the blue to grab a drink. We've been together ever since!
  • @MrsBinPA - Hooray for a heart beat and some growth!
  • @MrsBinPA how far behind were you measuring?  I'm dealing with the same thing.  When I had my first u/s last week at 5w3d I was measuring two days ahead at 5w5d but at my u/s this week at 6w1d I was measuring a day behind.  Makes me a little nervous that the growth has seemed to slow, even though my hcg is going up and we saw the heartbeat.

    So starting to think I may be back out again. My crazy self keeps retesting daily and today my FRER digital said no that was a yes on Thursday. Still waiting on beta and have a second set tomorrow but feeling like this isn't very promising. I actually managed to get my first wondfo squinter yesterday afternoon so took that as a sign my levels were rising since it wasn't even FMU but today I feel crushed. These days waiting to know for sure feel like the longest days ever 



    edit: bright red bleeding now. 3 days of positive tests and now I'm out.

  • @SnobunnieMel I am so sorry, take care of yourself.
  • @SnobunnieMel Oh no! I'm so sorry.

    I'm afraid to say that I came here to say the same thing. 3 days of faint positives and a negative yesterday and today. I'm having awful cramps and a backache and I know the floodgates are going to open any second. 

    If I'm even able to come away from this and try again next cycle I can guarantee I won't be testing until af is late.

    This sucks so much. 

    Peace out December. :(

    I haven't introduced myself on the main board yet, but figured I would start here. DH and I have been TTGP for a little over a year and a half so far. 7 months in we were referred to an RE when my doctor found out I had fibroids, and I had two surgeries last summer to remove them all. We got pregnant our first Clomid cycle in December and I was part of the September 2016 board, but I had a MC in early January at 6w4d. My beta this past Friday was much higher than last cycle, so I'm trying to remain hopeful with this one!

    Looking forward to getting to know everyone on this board. 

    How far along are you? 4w1d

    How are you feeling/symptoms? Pretty good so far. On and off mild cramps which my doctor says is normal, and waves of nausea. I'm actually excited about the nausea since I had so few symptoms last time. 

    Any Rants/Raves/Questions/Advice Needed? None yet!

    GTKY:  How did you meet your DH/SO?  We worked together at our last company and started dating relatively quickly. He actually was involved in hiring me (he obviously was interested in more than how good of a fit I would be on the team!  :D). 
  • @jenmlangtake2 and @SnobunnieMel I'm so so sorry to both of you. Sending you so many hugs!
  • @SnobunnieMel and @jenmlangtake2 I am so so sorry. Sending big hugs.
  • I am so very sorry to see this @SnobunnieMeland @jenmlangtake2.  Take care of yourselves.

  • Hello, ladies! My husband and I had a BFP on Friday, and, like many of you, we're cautiously optimistic. 

    How far along are you? 5 weeks (+/- a day or two)

    How are you feeling/symptoms? Not too much of a difference yet. I have been feeling slightly queasy, but I don't know if it's all in my head...Other than that, I've had a little tiny bit of light cramping and am hoping this is normal.

    Any Rants/Raves/Questions/Advice Needed? I really would love to try to relax and be optimistic. I want to be able to treat this pregnancy as if it was my first, but that's proving a little hard. I trying to decide if I should ask for my HCG and Progesterone levels when I call to make my doctor's appointment. Any advice on this? 

    GTKY:  How did you meet your DH/SO? I met DH at work. He's actually quite a bit older than I am. He was/is a tour boat captain and I was the narrator on a nature cruise boat. He's a great guy, and hopefully this will be the first child for both of us.

  • @lyndam1 your OB may want you to come in for labs since you have had a loss.  I will say that waiting on HCG levels is also anxiety inducing.  I personally would opt for them, but I'm of the mindset that it's better to have data and understand what might be going on in there.  My data has been all over the place & has had me on a rollercoater I'm still not off.  If you get the labs trust your doctors interpretation of them!  I am not good at doing that and have caused myself unnecessary stress.
