This thread is for August moms who have previously suffered a loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, etc).
Let's all do a little intro, as a reminder and for those that weren't around when we did the first time!
How far along are you?
How are you doing?
When is your next appointment?

Re: PGAL Check-in Week of 12/19
I'm Amanda. I'm 35. I have two kids and have been TTC #3 since June 2015. I had a MMC at 9 weeks back in April, then an early m/c last month. I haven't had a period since that loss and was told I had HCG in my system when I was in the ER for double pneumonia.
How far along are you? Not exactly sure, somewhere between 7 and 8 weeks.
How are you doing? I'm okay, still just incredibly nauseated. Like to the point of tears most nights. I'm taking Diclegis 4 times a day
When is your next appointment? Tomorrow morning! Please send all the thoughts and prayers you have. I'm terrified!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The homemade Christmas goodies have started rolling in at my office. It's a glorious time to be pregnant!
GTKY: My biggest goal is to continue to workout through this pregnancy and stay as healthy as possible. I'd like to end 2017 by being back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

How far along are you? 4 weeks today! I found out very early. I tested last Thursday and got my bfp at 11DPO. I had my first blood test for hCG levels today and they along with my progesterone level came back great so that has me feeling pretty positive! I miscarried in October with very low hCG and progesterone levels but I'm already way ahead of both of those numbers now and way earlier! Come on sticky baby! This will be baby #2 and we just started actually TTC this month.
How are you doing? Waiting anxiously for Wednesday's test to make sure everything is increasing as it should. I really want to get excited about this baby but it is still hard.
When is your next appointment? Blood test Wednesday and then I won't have an U/S until 10/11 weeks.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: the constipation started early this time! I need to poop! Lol
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017? Plant a vegetable garden in the backyard. Something I have always wanted to do but haven't made the time. I want to can a bunch of fresh veggies for the winter next year and what better than my own!
Hello, I had a MC at 9 weeks (as of LMP) and didnt get my bfp unil 12/4.
How far along are you? 6 weeks 6 days!
How are you doing? I am feeling okay. I feel like I just need to eat when I feel hungry, and drink a ton of water. I have been super tired and my CM is flowing like crazy (sorry TMI)
When is your next appointment? I had my dating US today! All was well, and I measured two days ahead. we even saw the heartbeat!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am overjoyed about our appointment today. I truly have never felt happier than seeing that little chocolate chip on the screen. Best christmas gift ever!
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017? I want to get a few more house projects done this year. DH and I moved into and renovated our new house in May, and so we just have to get the nursery done, as well as maybe the bathrooms, and getting a ton of small touch up projects done.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
H and I gave MIL and FIL a photo session with their boys and grandkids for Christmas. MIL is stressing about it and got us to reschedule for tomorrow. Which would be just fine except that I will probably end up spending the ENTIRE day with my in laws tomorrow and I just do not really want to do that. We were just at their house yesterday.
On the upside, the weather should be warmer tomorrow than it is today so the photo session should be a little more of a pleasant experience.
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017?
Run a turkey trot for Thanksgiving of next year? I really don't have any other goals other than having a baby next year.

Hello. I was a lurker on TTGP starting in September 2015 and active starting January 2016. I had a natural miscarriage in August at 6+4 just a few days before the first ultrasound.
How far along are you? 6 weeks!
How are you doing? Pretty good. I had some nausea this weekend which oddly makes me happy and hopeful that this pregnancy is healthy!
When is your next appointment? 12/26 is the first ultrasound!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm trying so hard to stay positive and excited but every twitch and twinge I immediately freak out and brace myself for the worst. I need to make it through this week to the ultrasound to hopefully relax. This pregnancy has started off much healthier than my first one so I'm hoping that's a good sign!
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017? Plant a garden! I've been wanting one for awhile but Florida never could grow what I wanted so now that we're in Washington I'm super excited!
Hi there! I'm Brittany. I have 2 DDs; almost 4 years old and 2 years old. I had an early miscarriage in July. We didn't start trying again until October because I just wasn't emotionally ready. Found out about this pregnancy super early at only 9 dpo on a Wondfo. Hoping for a healthy little one!
How far along are you? 6 weeks 4 days
How are you doing? Ohhh man. Yesterday I panicked. I went to the bathroom and had some light pink discharge. After losing our baby in July, this really scared me. But my midwife is amazing and squeezed me into her already booked day today. She did an ultrasound and we were able to see the baby in the gestational sac, and we could see the little heartbeat! So reassuring! She didn't see anything that could be the source of the bleeding and said she thinks something just irritated my cervix. She said right now all signs point toward healthy and look exactly as they should! But then dinner upset my stomach and of course I spent the next little while thinking, is this an upset stomach, or are these cramps? PGAL brain sucks. But for today I am pregnant with a healthy little baby.
When is your next appointment? 12/30
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just praying for us all
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017? To figure out a way to stay home with my babies! I've got to find a work from home job. This will be our 3rd and I just can't stand the thought of working full time.
How are you doing? I am freaking out. I have been TTC for 14 months and after 3 miscarriages I got a very faint BFP this morning. It just doesn't seem real. It's so early in the pregnancy and I can't keep thinking this isn't real. I'm cautiously optimistic.
When is your next appointment? Calling tomorrow to set up.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: praying these babies stay healthy and grow.
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017? Keep the weight under control. I joined weight watchers in October and have been rocking the program and doing well. Want to keep eating healthy and stay active.
How are you doing? to be honest, I'm stressing. This is where I started spotting last time that ended in a MC at 6 weeks exactly. And I felt so sick yesterday so taking that as a good sign.
When is your next appointment? bloodwork on 30th and U/S on the 10th. Those both seem so far away!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: taking his awful MS as a good sign. And I wish my husband wouldn't drink Mountain Dew. It smells like cough syrup when he goes to kiss me lol.
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017?
DH and I are working on becoming debt free. That's our biggest goal because we want to buy a house in a year or so rather than keep renting.

Let's all do a little intro, as a reminder and for those that weren't around when we did the first time!
Hey! I'm had 1 MC at 8 weeks and have 1 4 yr old DS
How far along are you?
6 + 3
How are you doing?
When is your next appointment?
I had an appt today! We saw a heartbeat!!!!!!!! My next appt isn't until 1/17
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm just soooo happy we were able to see a heartbeat today!!!
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017?
Lose all the baby weight!
M/C #2 - October 2016
MMC #1 - April 2016
How are you doing? No morning sickness, just the sleepys and sore boobs. Other than that, I'm fine, scared, but fine.
When is your next appointment? 12/27 for another U/S
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The baby's heartrate was low (80) at 5w6d U/S, so we're getting rechecked next week. I need all the happy thoughts I can get. I've had three losses since July.
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017? Be able to fit into more clothes in my closet!
Mama to a 4 year old son.
Big dreamer.
@Thatgirlwithglasses, I can understand the worry. But as some others said on your other post, less than 6 weeks is really early. Had an u/s at 5w6d and they couldn't even see a yolk sac or fetal poll. Two weeks later, heart beat of 172. I bet you're bub's heart just started beating around that scan. Try to stay calm and positive. I know it's hard.

MMC #1 - April 2016
Hi! MMC in March at around 12 weeks, got my BFP on November 27
How far along are you?
7+6
How are you doing?
Trying to get over a nasty cold, otherwise the usual queasiness, sore boobs, and fatigue.
When is your next appointment?
Today! We have an ultrasound tonight, and I am TERRIFIED. It's at the same place where we found out our last baby had no heartbeat, so I can't tell if the pukey feeling is from pregnancy or nerves today
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I have the most amazing, supportive husband who has been my rock throughout this whole thing. I feel very lucky
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017?
To grow my small business so that I can quit my regular job!
I've only been checking things out from the sidelines, it feels nice to get involved this time around. I'm 40 and we've been trying for a few years through IVF (unexplained infertility)
How far along are you?
6w2d
How are you doing?
Nausea in the morning and then again late afternoon/evening - never enough to vomit but noticeable. Also I've been waking up around 2am during the past week, a little nauseous, and unable to go back to sleep. MOODY. So, so moody. I'm on Progesterone injections - I'm not sure how much is the HCG and how much is Progesterone related.
When is your next appointment?
January 5th, 1st ultrasound, I'll be about 8w2d I think. In August, when I was pregnant last, the U/S tech was Nurse Ratched and basically made a bad situation (no heartbeat) much, much worse. So, this time I'm going to a facility in the suburbs where my doctor also sees patients.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Rant: Christmas is hard this year. Not sure why - I should be excited! But I fear the worst.
Rave: My sister (the one with 4 kids!) has been amazing. Very supportive and encouraging.
GTKY: What (aside from having a baby!) is your biggest goal for 2017?
Hmmmm...promotion at work, perhaps. Not sure yet, I'm so focused on hopefully becoming a mom!

How are you doing? Sick and tired and PGAL brain is real. We tried for 8 months and then had a miscarriage. The emotional toll that plays on you is crazy.
When is your next appointment? Tomorrow! Beta confirmations. So far everything looks great with the first round of tests, so I chose to post optimistically.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm so tired of people telling me not to stress. No part of me WANTS to stress. People don't understand the weight after a miscarriage, especially one that resulted after months of trying. I'm truly a positive person, promise.
