  • @GoldenTMama So sorry it took a WEEK to get back your progesterone and that you still don't have HCG results. :neutral: I would be irritated too!! Are they concerned at all about the progesterone level? FX for a good u/s tomorrow and you get some concerns relieved and questions answered.

    MrsNap_515 Yay for another u/s! Please be sure to post it if it's a good one (crossing all the fingers it is)! I love seeing all the LOs grow!

    How far along are you? 
    9 weeks

    How big is baby? A cherry or the size of the One Ring from LoTR :lol:

    Upcoming appointments this week? none until 9/1

    Any new symptoms or changes? PEEING. OMG, the peeing. It's like there's no more room in there or something, and I have a constant need to pee. Also, the hunger seems more ravenous these days. I don't need to eat much to satiate, but I definitely need to eat every 2-3 hours. I'm playing with fire if I wait 4. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Things seem to be going well so far! I'm starting to wonder if I'm far enough along to order a Doppler. Thoughts?

    GTKY: Favorite morning beverage-coffee/tea, how do you take it, etc? Drinking my bottled Starbucks mocha lite frappucinio as we speak! I only drink 1/2 a bottle at a time, since I usually want 1 Diet Coke later in the day. It keeps me well below the 150mg recommended caffeine max that way. :smile:
  • How far along are you? 8 weeks

    How big is baby?  Raspberry

    Upcoming appointments this week?  2nd US on Thursday

    Any new symptoms or changes?  Boobs grew overnight. & @dubcompanion's fire nips.  

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  Rant: I have an absurd travel week and am sandwiching my US between two flights.  I won't even get to go to my apt despite flying home for the US.  So annoying.  

    GTKY: Favorite morning beverage-coffee/tea, how do you take it, etc?  Coffee.  And I am absolutely having my 1 cup per day as allowed by my doctor.  I take it with 2% milk but will use almond milk sometimes.  
  • I switched to decaf coffee within the first few weeks, and I had killer withdrawal headaches, I also have been loving diet caffeine free pepsi lately

  • @hippiemama ugh!! How upsetting that your insurance is changing!! I have the opposite problem, my insurance is crap right now and we have to pay for EVERYTHING! We were hoping to switch to better insurance before baby arrives But our insurance year doesn't end until April 1 (so weird) :(

    thank you @dubcompanion I think the tests were part of routine blood work that I was probably supposed to get done earlier but I was feeling so sick and tired from 7-10 weeks that I couldn't get to the lab because it's closed for lunch and weekends and I was already getting to work super late everyday so I couldn't go in before either. I will email my OB today to see what she thinks of the results, but she will probably just want to wait until I come in tomorrow

  • @dubcompanion love the baby size comparison :lol:

  • @MrsNap_515 It's from the Babysizer Geeky pregnancy tracker! I ultimately chose a Bump tracker (as evident on my siggy) but have bookmarked that one all the same. :smiley:
  • @GoldenTMama my FX for you girl that the lab processing is just being ridiculously slow and you have a fantastic appointment tomorrow! <3

  • OMG @dubcompanion that site is hilarious, i just checked it out....I'm also the one ring, a tater tot, or a lug nut :lol:  I'm going to have to send DH that site!!

  • @MrsNap_515 Yeah, it's a great site and right up DH's and my alley! :wink:

    @GoldenTMama True, at least you have the appointment tomorrow. There's not much they can do for potential intervention until then anyway. Keep us posted!!
  • How far along are you? 10 weeks 

    How big is baby? Strawberry 

    Upcoming appointments this week? Had my first OB doctor appointment yesterday- Have my NT scan in 2 weeks

    Any new symptoms or changes? Same old, different day. Sore, itchy boobs. Leukorrhea, Nausea which if I don't go too long without eating in between meals isn't too bad- mostly just gagging/dry heaving. My pants are starting to get tight, feeling so bloated! 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Just excited that I have gotten to double digits! Really nervous about my NT scan- it is so hard to keep PGAL brain away. I am not even that worried about the results of the scan more than my baby still being happy and healthy growing in there

    GTKY: Favorite morning beverage-coffee/tea, how do you take it, etc? I am not a real big coffee drinker- I will drink a iced coffee from time to time but it needs to have lots of flavoring in it because I hate the taste of coffee. Right now I have just been drinking a coke in the morning- the little caffeine helps and the carbonation settles my stomach
  • @gracie4400 Weird dreams have definitely become a nightly thing for me. I can't always remember them but they're very vivid at the time. In between the weirdness, there's often a baby theme too - either I'm taking care of one, I'm pregnant, I see other babies, etc. It's all very Inception-like with the layers. :wink:
  • Hey all!

    How far along are you? 10 weeks

    How big is baby? As big as a strawberry.  1.2 inches long

    Upcoming appointments this week? I finally have my first appointment Friday and my fingers are crossed for an ultrasound!

    Any new symptoms or changes? Boobs still hurt, have horrible morning sickness still.  Not much has changed since 5 weeks when I found out

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  I am just sick of being sick

    GTKY: Favorite morning beverage-coffee/tea, how do you take it, etc? I have not been eating or drinking much that is warm/hot.  So I have been eating a lot of fruit and drinking smoothies and iced coffee.  :#
  • How far along are you?  8 weeks

    How big is baby?  Kidney bean 

    Upcoming appointments this week? 2 more weeks sadly! 

    Any new symptoms or changes? Still no morning sickness so that's a plus. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Congestion is killing me!!!! I don't want to take anything until I have my first apt. 

    GTKY: Favorite morning beverage-coffee/tea, how do you take it, etc? 

    Tea! Earl Grey, black. Sometimes if I'm feeling like a cold is coming on I throw in a peppermint tea bag with my earl grey, it's my favourite and reminds me of the winter holidays. 


  • How far along are you? 7 weeks

    How big is baby? Blueberry

    Upcoming appointments this week? Tomorrow with MFM doc and an ultrasound

    Any new symptoms or changes? My boobs are super sore, I'm practically hibernating and the MS is now through out the day almost everyday

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant- SO and I broke up...but I'm in good spirits. I feel better without him around stressing me out. Unfortunately he asked me to terminate and he got the worse curse out of his life. Luckily I have amazing parents, sisters and friends who have been beyond supportive through these last few weeks. I'm thankful for them.

    GTKY: Favorite morning beverage-coffee/tea, how do you take it, etc? I can't stomach coffee anymore...the smell turns my stomach so I have been drinking fruit infused water.
  • Oh shoot! Totally forgot I go here now since my EDD changed to the 21st :) And I had to do actual work all day so I barely got to even look at TB until just now! 


    How far along are you? 8 weeks today! Feels like a good milestone for some reason.

    How big is baby? A small seahorse of some sort or a raspberry. I love the Ovia weird animals updates haha

    Upcoming appointments this week? None until next Monday, but that's just a physical and blood work so nothing too exciting.

    Any new symptoms or changes? Actually feeling pretty great this week! I've decided to not be upset about not having extreme symptoms because I have had waves of them every other day or so, so I'm just thankful it's not constant! 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Just waiting for a few more weeks to spill the beans to work people and other random people in my life, I really suck and have almost mentioned it way too many times!

    GTKY: Favorite morning beverage-coffee/tea, how do you take it, etc?  
    Just water the past few years. Used to be a huge coffee drinker since I worked at a coffee shop from the time I was 16. But I stopped drinking it after I graduated college, and drink a lot more tea now. But I'm not a have to have a beverage in the morning type person. Though there have been a few days where some caffeine has sounded amazing lol
  • @MrsNap_515 praying for two healthy little babies at your appointment tomorrow :)

    @GoldenTMama 11 weeks! So crazy to think there are people on the BMB that are that far along already lol. Keeping good thoughts for you for a great appointment tomorrow as well!

    @hippiemama ughhh insurance is literally the worst! Hopefully it won't impact you guys too much and you will still have great coverage! MH's coverage can be changed each year in November and I'm going to look into the cost of getting lower/no deductible and only having copays, but it may be outrageous, I guess we will see. I hate the control they have over our lives!

    @misha0130 oh gees, I'm really sorry to hear that, but happy for you if you feel you will be better off! I'm glad to hear you have lots of support surrounding you! You can do this!

    *waving hiiiiii* to everyone else! So many cool people on this ticker change :D
  • @Schumerator I really am. I wish we could work it out, we have been together almost 3 years with one break up. But a week after I told him he changed. He kept referring to the baby as a burden and how our lives will change and he wasn't ready. He will be 33, we are both established and have careers. I am nervous about a baby after 9 years almost too but he was resentful. So I told him I didn't need that around me since I am already high risk. A baby is a blessing regardless and he didn't feel that way. We both have daughters so it's not our first go around with being a parent. I don't honestly know what his deal is but I can't try to make him happy about this. His mom tells me he will come around but I'm not holding my breath.
  • @Schumerator thanks! glad to see you in here too!! :smiley:

  • @Schumerator Haha well, my EDD is technically 2/28, but I have been on this board since my BFP so I stayed. But yes! there are a few of us at 11 weeks now! Crazy and exciting! :smiley:

    I had my appointment today. No ultrasound, but the doctor found the heart beat with the doppler really quickly. it was fast and strong, about 155 (in the healthy range!), so we are super happy to know baby is okay. Also, the doctor was not worried about my progesterone level, so I was just freaking myself out (as usual). 

    @misha0130 and @MrsNap_515 How did your appointments go today?

  • @GoldenTMama Yay! So glad you had a great appt and got to hear the HB. Also glad the progesterone levels are no concern. :smile:

    @Schumerator Welcome! We're a great ticker change group!! (Soooo not biased, haha!)

    @misha0130 I'm sorry your partner isn't supportive but I'm proud of you for sticking to your guns and putting yourself and your baby first! I'm also thankful you have a good support group IRL!
  • That's great to hear @MrsNap_515!!
