JWatt5 · December 2016

Good morning!!!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 5 weeks, 2 days! August 12/13 2017

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? My really bad cramping has finally let up!! Just lots of pulling now when I sneeze or something, little cramping if I get moving around at lot. Tired. The peeing all the time started last night - I was up so many times with terrible vivid dreams in between.

3. When is your next appointment? December 20 2016 - U/S - Hope this week goes fast!

4. Anything else you'd like to share? I broke down and took did a Clearblue Digital on Friday - got 3+ weeks really quickly so that made me feel better.

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? DH and I were thinking of finding out the gender but not until the 3rd trimester - which is my birthday so maybe would be fun to have my birthday cake be a gender reveal cake! We'll see if I can actually wait that long lol - I have nursery designs picked out for each gender - paint colors, furniture colours etc. DH keeps asking our puppy if he wants a sister - he seems certain it's a girl.

taradise99 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 9 weeks 1 day 7/16/17
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? queasy all day, fatigue, cramping
3. When is your next appointment? 12/19- it will be three weeks since my last u/s so I'm very anxious for it!
4. Anything else you'd like to share?

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? Yes, we will find out. Probably not doing anything huge, but thinking of just having our parents over and doing some sort of gender reveal... interested to see what everyone else is doing!!

byrneme · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 7w6d, 7/25/17
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? I've actually been feeling really good - so good, in fact, that I had an unplanned ultrasound on Friday. All is in check and it made me feel better! Food SOUNDS appealing but then, once you get it in front of me, it's not. As I type this I'm struggling to get through breakfast. I'm still tired by mid-day and asleep by 9 - if I make it that long.
3. When is your next appointment? 12/20 u/s
4. Anything else you'd like to share? I have a friend who had her transfer a week after mine who has her first u/s Wednesday and I'm hoping all goes well!

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? We are not - and this took a LOT of convincing on my part. I still don't think my DH is quite on board. My POV is that there are so few surprises in life, this is one I really want. Completely opposite of my type A, planning personality. I think most people are shocked when I tell them this.

kdanjou · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?
13 weeks woo hoo! 6/19/17
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Just some bloating, insomnia, sore legs/hips at night, headaches.
3. When is your next appointment?
Jan 4
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
I have a retroverted/tipped uterus so I'm not really popping yet other than bloat which is frustrating. I want to look and feel pregnant!!!

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special?
Oh yeah we are. I can't stand not being able to plan. We'll find out at the anatomy scan. Not planning on doing anything super special but maybe I'll make reveal cupcakes for the grandparents or something.

I guess next week I'll be graduating to 2nd tri @Colleen0516

ChristinaV2015 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 6 weeks 2 day EDD 8/5/2017
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? queasy all day, fatigue, no food ever sounds appetizing which is weird since I love to eat. I found myself trying to avoid eating.
3. When is your next appointment? 12/16- ugh longest weeks ever
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
Well after my little bleeding scare after our first ultrasound on Friday I've been a little freaked out. Than Saturday night I had terrible constipation which left me in the bathroom for over an hour (sorry for the TMI). After pushing I came out and started hysterically crying that I may have hurt our little nugget!

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? We will not be finding out the gender. We want that "it's a..." moment in the delivery room. I feel like it will give me even more motivation to get through labor and delivery. My family has never found out a gender before delivery but I know DH's family is going to be upset we are not finding out.

Colleen0516 · December 2016

@kdanjou thank you!!

congrats on moving up to the 2nd trimester!!

@ChristinaV2015 I've been having similiar issues. So annoying! But you're not hurting the baby- don't stress

nellin-2 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?
10 weeks, 3 days
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
I'm feeling pretty good. Nausea has really calmed down and I've got more energy. Of course this has me worried because those symptoms are so reassuring.
3. When is your next appointment?
December 21 for my slightly early 12 week scan. If that goes well we can start telling people for Christmas!

4. Anything else you'd like to share?
I have another app ovia that says our bean is the size of a Lego man this week! I pulled out a Lego man to sit on the coffee table this week

It's much more useful than fruit/veg which vary so much in size!

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special?
We are still deciding on this. I'm not a fan of the whole pink/blue everything (I prefer more neutral) so we have discussed finding out but keeping it secret. At this stage I really don't care about sex, I just want to get out of the first trimester and be more confident this little bean is sticking!

Colleen0516 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?
9 weeks 5 days
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
My symptoms still vary a lot. Some days im more nauseous than others. Ive been congested a lot, I thought it was a cold but now im thinking is the pregnancy. I have also had some bad headaches (Mainly at night). Leg cramps and body aches too- no wonder people think they are getting sick and dont know they are pregnant.
3. When is your next appointment?
December 20- Ill be 11 weeks at that point, so if my appointment goes well then I will be telling my extended family over Christmas too!
4. Anything else you'd like to share? This is the longest i've gone without a sonogram so I very nervous too! I like seeing the babies on a weekly basis- it makes me feel so much better.

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special?
I think we are going to find out their gender. I will plan the nursery around whether they are same sex or different sex- but either way they will be in the same room. I do find it really exciting to wait the full nine months and then find out in the delivery room though, so it IS TEMPTING. I dont think I have enough will power though, and I want their bedding and clothing to be colored not all yellow. I will definitely do some sort of a gender reveal. I know some people find them super cheesy or over the top but I feel like it still gives my husband and me the opportunity to feel the anticipation and excitement.

janejane-2 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?

13 weeks and a few days. 06/14/2017

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?

Random hunger pains soon after I've finished eating. Though I am eating smaller meals likely b/c the twins are starting to take up too much room.

3. When is your next appointment?

Not for a month. A whole month. I don't think I've gone this long without a doctor's appointment. So strange.

4. Anything else you'd like to share?

We finally shared the news with our families. Everyone is excited. Its odd knowing that everyone knows. I'll tell my close friends this coming week.

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special?

We really want to find out. I don't think our OB/MFM will tell us until week 20 so we're thinking of going to a private facility in the next few weeks. I think they can tell with some certainty around weeks 14-15.

@Colleen0516 This will be my last week on this board (wow can't believe it). Thank you for keeping up the list

mjacks16 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 10w2d, EDD July 8
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? Not many at all, which you know is making me crazy. Just some bloating and aversions to food. Also, vivid crazy dreams!
3. When is your next appointment? Jan 4 - feels like ages away
4. Anything else you'd like to share? For anyone with constipation issues, try chia seeds. I put them in my smoothie or yogurt. My acupuncturist recommended them and they work!

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? Yes, we plan on finding out. We are also doing NIPT which I believe will tell us early.

JuliaAnn86 · December 2016

Had my first US today and found out we're having twins! Got to see them and hear both heartbeats. Dr said heart rate is perfect and they are measuring fine

JWatt5 · December 2016

So exciting @JuliaAnn86 Congrats!!

persnickity · December 2016

Congrats @JuliaAnn86!

For anyone with constipation, there are some yoga stretches that can help. Same goes for congestion. It's amazing that a few minutes of stretching can help so much!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 6 wks 2 days, 8/5/17
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? Boobs are crazy tender, congestion, and being hungry at night. I sorta wish I had something more. I could use the reassurance.
3. When is your next appointment? This Wednesday! I can't wait to hear the heart beat.
4. Anything else you'd like to share?

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? We're planning on finding out. Not to decorate the nursery, but for names and planning purposes. The nursery will be unisex. I'm not a fan of pink/blue since I don't really like pink and love blue. We're kind of boring people, so I don't think we'll do anything special to announce.

bookworm40 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?
5 weeks 6 days
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
They seem to come and go.. Today just sore boobs and some random cramping.. FREEZING cold and extremely exhausted.
3. When is your next appointment?
This Thursday 12/15 - Hopefully will hear a heartbeat!
4. Anything else you'd like to share?

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special?
I know I want to find out, DH on the other hand keeps going back and forth.. thankfully I have time to work on him lol.

MicronesianMamma · December 2016

1. How far along are you? 8w3d
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? Cramping on/off, sore boobies, nausea all day, major aversions to food, totally exhausted all the time
3. When is your next appointment? 12/15. First appointment at new OB office, don't think I will have u/s
4. Anything else you'd like to share? Had 8 week scan on Sat and CRL only measured 7w3d. Even though RE said everything looks fine, I can't help but be nervous.

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? We are going to find out but only tell a few close family members. We want everything gender neutral, which doesn't necessarily mean only greens, yellows, etc... - I'm all for my girl wearing blue trucks or my my boy wearing pink stars

Our nursery theme is along the lines of being outdoors in a fantasy land so it's very gender neutral. And the name we've picked is for a boy or girl so everyone can know the name ahead of time, just the gender will be a surprise!

taradise99 · December 2016

Congrats @JuliaAnn86! Another twin momma!

ARB425 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 7weeks 1day. EDD 7/30/16

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? Very sore boobs, poor appetite( I'm starving and then 5bites in I can't eat anymore), exhaustion.... getting my thyroid retested next week since it went crazy again

3. When is your next appointment? I had an u/s today and met with my RE. We were able to see little one's heartbeat which was amazing. Heartbeat was around 120bpm. I'll be on progesterone til 10 weeks and at that point I will have graduated my RE. Time to find an ob/gyn! She was able to give us a few good referrals so now to check if they are in network and have good reviews. She said that there is still a chance that I'll have bleeding because I still have a large clot in my uterus but it isn't close to the sac so the chance of miscarriage is small.

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? Most definitely we want to know what we are having! I'm way too much of a planner not to know! I'm not really sure about a gender reveal party yet. But if we did we probably would just have a small party with friends and family.

Colleen0516 · December 2016

@JuliaAnn86 congratulations!!! You must have been so excited!

@MicronesianMamma I'm so envious! I love that your name is unisex too!

@mjacks16 thanks for the chai seed recommendation, I'm gonna try it!

rmarble23 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 13w today EDD 6/20....ill be in the second tri for next week @Colleen0516

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? heartburn! i have the congestion too but its hard to tell if its the cold weather or pregnancy but i feel like im sneezy and snotty also i can barely stand to even put a towel on my boobs with my nipples sooo sensitive, again with the cold weather they seem to always be "out"
3. When is your next appointment? monday i have the u/s to check for downs and then i meet my ob 12/23
4. Anything else you'd like to share? i started buying maternity clothes, not b/c i feel like im showing, i just feel fat, but i wore my first outfit on friday for some errands and i felt so good, i wish i had more so i could start wearing to work since clothes are difficult lately, but i only bought one pair of pants i can wear to work

i am holding out for christmas gift cards before i go crazy

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? we will be finding out and i would love to do some kind of fun reveal but haven't put too much thought into it yet

MelD17011 · December 2016

Hi Ladies - I am headed to the 2nd tri board this week - look forward to seeing you all over there!

Colleen0516 · December 2016

Last night, while I was in bed, I was thinking about how many of us have fading symptoms or our symptoms are "not that bad" and we all kinda wish we had a little more to confirm our pregnancies (Bunch of crazies, myself included

lol) I thought it was odd that SO many of us felt the same.
Well, I'm wondering if its because we have all been through infertility. We have all been put on high doses of different medicines that basically make our hormones go crazy (similar to pregnancy)-- and a lot of us have done it several times! I wonder if our bodies are just used to the hormones and we just don't feel it as much as people who conceive without IF?
It makes me feel better to think like that- so i'm going with it lol Its getting me through this torturous 2 week wait until another sonogram where I can see my babies and know they are okay

beckij34 · December 2016

Just a heads up that I'm moving on to the second trimester thread. Congrats to all the newbies!!

kdanjou · December 2016

@Nellin and @mjacks16 My symptoms started to subside right around that time, and I think it's pretty common. I heard a nice heartbeat at my 12 week appt so try not to worry too much!
@Colleen0516 That is an interesting theory. Maybe being put on so many different hormones really gets you used to crazy symptoms so you don't notice them as much? Although, for my first baby I didn't have IF treatments and I still had almost no symptoms in first tri. I guess I just got "lucky" with not having much nausea. At the time I was wishing for all the nausea just to be reassured! But DD turned out perfect so I just think every woman and every pregnancy is different.

byrneme · December 2016

@JuliaAnn86 yea!! Congrats!!! I remember when you posted your beta numbers and thinking that was going to be the case. So happy for you!

persnickity · December 2016

@Colleen0516 Interesting theory. It makes sense that we saw so many hormones that we just got used to them. I wonder if it's also because had different random symptoms during IF that is hard to associate them with pregnancy now. Or we got discouraged from symptom spotting and just stopped being so hyper aware.

nellin-2 · December 2016

@Colleen0516 I think we just worry more about everything. It's taken so long, and so much money/hassle/pain/heartache to get here.

Also I think I've lost trust in my body to do what it's "supposed to do". The "your body is designed to carry a baby" argument doesn't work when your body has failed you over and over again. In the rational part of my brain I know this is crazy but it's hard to overcome and learn to trust in nature again.

JuliaAnn86 · December 2016

Thank you so much @byrneme, @Colleen0516, @taradise99, @JWatt5, @persnickity! We are so thrilled!!!

kdanjou I have a retroverted uterus as well and from what I've read/heard it will take us longer for the bump to pop out!

@Colleen0516 that is an interesting theory!

1. How far along are you? 6 weeks 4 days What is your EDD? August 4th ( Found this out yesterday, my calculations were off by 3 days)

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? none! Which had me freaking out yesterday. I told the Dr that as well right before my ultrasound. He said "Don't feel cheated, feel fortunate." I was so sure the screen was going to show nothing.... because I feel so good. I was thrilled when we saw/heard both sweet babies.

3. When is your next appointment? 12/26/16

4. Anything else you'd like to share? The fact that we're having twins is still blowing my mind. I knew there was a chance with us putting in two but the reality that they both stuck is still just surreal. We are on cloud 9. Waiting for it all to sink in and then I'm sure I'll be freaking out about all that we need to do to get prepared for them.

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? We do want to find the genders. I think we'll have some type of gender reveal party. Maybe a cake or balloons, we'll see!

ChristinaV2015 · December 2016

@JuliaAnn86 congrats on the twins!! So exciting!

Welcome to all of the new mommies to be.

So today other than feeling tired my nausea and overall feeling of blah is not there and of course it has me super concerned. Oh how IF has skewed normal views of pregnancy for all of us! My sonogram Friday morning can not come soon enough!!

Hopeful_mom · December 2016

hi Ladies - I've been lurking for a while as i'm a big fam of @colleen0516

(and i see a lot of other familiar names yay!!!)) but too nervous to post and really come to the other side, its a whole new world and its a bit scary to say the least. Since I did have my first US, I need to believe that all will be ok and we can move on to the next step. This is also the first day in a few i can look at the screen, whoa i've been so sick!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 6wks 3 days (August 8, 2017)

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? OMG think of your worst hangover and multiple that by 3. I was really feeling fine on and off but I hit 6 weeks and haven't not felt dizzy, nauseous or light headed once. Could barely eat the last 2 days. the thought makes me cringe. Mint candies and others are helping to just get me to and from work. I can barely function and no one knows so it makes it that much tougher. Everyone thinks i had food poisoning, but only so long that can last. Hoping the meds my dr prescribed can help....of course not covered by insurance!

3. When is your next appointment? nest wed or fri depending on work, still get excited and nervous for it.

4. Anything else you'd like to share? Its been a really hard road as it has for many of you and i've been praying for g-d to bless me with more then one healthy baby, especially as i transferred 3, thank g-d my prayers have been answered and i get to join the TWINNING PARTY

so excited and freaked at the same time. Just praying we will all make it through this journey!!

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? I've always thought like someone else previously mentioned above that waiting would be what could get me through delivery! I've always thought that, forever! We don't have many surprises left in life. Still not sure but with 2 on the way who knows.

Congrats to everyone!!

carafeick · December 2016

I've been debating getting online this time around - 2 losses this year has me a bit gun-shy. But! What the heck - I need people to talk to!!

Here goes, and Hi everyone!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? - 5w1d, August 15, 2017 if Singleton

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? - Slight cramping (only noticeable at night, early AM), I thought I was a little nauseous yesterday but could just be in my mind

3. When is your next appointment? 1/5/17, First U/S and RE visit

4. Anything else you'd like to share? Our betas this time around are really excellent, which I know means nothing but we're crossing fingers, toes, hair, and everything else in hopes we see a heartbeat it a few weeks! We transferred 4 embies this go 'round...gotta be at least ONE viable one in there.

byrneme · December 2016

Welcome @carafeick! You too@Hopeful_mom , good to see you on this side and congrats on the TWINS!!!

persnickity · December 2016

Had my first ultrasound today! I've got one little one with a heart beat of 121 bpm and measuring exactly on track!!! Perfect Christmas gift!

chamomile-2 · December 2016

1. How far along are you? 10 weeks 4 days
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? Fatigue, hunger but then can't eat too much or get awful gas pains, bloodhound sense of smell still but no nausea yet! But I finished my PIO shots this past weekend which feels AH-MAZING!
3. When is your next appointment? Nuchal translucency scan and cell-free DNA test in 2 weeks.
4. Anything else you'd like to share? BEWARE THE EXTERNAL FETAL DOPPLER! Both the nurse and the OB couldn't find heart tones today externally (despite trying while internally pushing uterus up and simultaneously pushing hard on abdomen, which was pretty awful). They sent me over to ultrasound and once I finally got in, all looked great, baby measuring spot on for dates with heartbeat 167 and waving its arms and legs at me, wiggling all around. It was a nervewracking and super scary hour while this all took place though. My uterus isn't normally retroverted but has tilted that way as it expands. So just be aware you may not get an external Doppler tone this early and all can still be well!

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Still can't decide! Husband and I are both ruminating on it and will decide by time of cell-free DNA test because we'll have to warn them if we don't want to know.

ARB425 · December 2016

@Hopeful_mom TWINS! Ahhhh so exciting! Congratulations!

@persnickity isn't it just amazing? I could watch/listen to little ones heartbeat all day

persnickity · December 2016

@Hopeful_mom congrats on twins!!

@ARB425 It is amazing! Never heard such a beautiful sound before.

Colleen0516 · December 2016

@hopeful_mom I have been SEARCHING the boards, looking for a post from you; I've been curious how your u/s went! SOOO happy that it went well! Congratulations on joining us here, and on being a twin mama!!!

@carafeick Welcome!! I know its scary, but this board is a great place to talk out those fears!! Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!

@kdanjou , @janejane , @rmarble23 , @MelD17011 wishing you all the best of luck in your second trimester!! Will hopefully see you all up there soon! (and Thank you for the posts

)

JWatt5 · December 2016

Welcome @carafeick!!

So happy for you @persnickity !! Gives me so much hope for next week's scan!

I'm SICK - DH came home with a cold Monday and I told him to sleep in the spareroom but that didn't stop it from spreading! Yesterday I felt nauseous after eating and though hmmm maybe this is the pregnancy but not so sure now. Rocking headache, mouth breather and even more tired than before - lets hope this passes fast!!!

persnickity · December 2016

@JWatt5 Look up how to do the yoga pigeon pose. Do it for a minute on each side at night before going to bed. It's helped open my sinuses. Allowed me to stop being a mouth breather.

PurplePumpernickel · December 2016

Hi friends!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 8w5d, EDD July 23, 2017.
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? Definitely morning sickness. I made the mistake of taking the dog out before I ate a few days ago and had a terrible, terrible day. If I eat first thing it isn't AS bad, but I still have good days and bad days. I'm tired all the damn time. Even if I have a good day, by the time evening rolls around I just want to curl up and go to bed at like 6:30.
3. When is your next appointment? First OB appointment December 20!
4. Anything else you'd like to share? I've never particularly liked my stomach as a part of my body, so I'm still finding it odd to touch it, and therefore touch the baby. Even in yoga class, when we're told to put a hand on our belly, I'm always, "yeah, I'm good." It is just odd.

QOTW: Are you planning on finding out what gender(s) you are having? Or are you waiting until delivery? If you are finding out, are you doing anything special? I think we're going to wait until birth. DH is flip-flopping a little bit and now thinks he wants to know, but I want to keep it a surprise. We'll see!

@Brynme thanks! Hoping I won't be going anywhere for a while

This is an interesting side to be on for sure! Still feels a bit surreal!

thanks for all the good wishes!

i can't get over how bad and consuming the sickness can be, at least carbs r starting to be my friend

@PurplePumpernickel i can't say i've ever been a fan of my tummy either but i try often to talk to them and touch my tummy thinking they can hear me, I've already got a bump so its gonna be some time until i can see the bump they will make, so for now this will do.

A lil nervous that i haven't heard the heartbeat yet, i can only imagine how glorious it sounds. @persnickity @ARB425

@jwatt5 i have to keep water by my bed as i can't stop breathing through my mouth lately. My OH was sick too and i sent him to his mothers

BUT I've been so sick that it doesn't seem like it wouldve made a difference.

@Colleen0516 Very Interesting theory. I do wonder if thats why i'm so nervous about everything. I just think it took so long to get here i'm just sooo nervous something will go wrong and i have no control over it.
