Symptoms thread for the week of March 11

So my previous ravenous appetite is gone and nothing is appealing. Anyone else?

DuchessOfCambridge · March 2017

@jess0211 I'm getting there. Some things are still appealing but the ravenous feelings are gone. Trying to make myself eat breakfast right now.

2Dash · March 2017

No food is really enticing to me. I eat something very plain when my body insists other than that I couldn't care. One weird thing is I want absolutely nothing to do with anything sweet - like even fruit which I normally love is a no go.

Also - work up this morning with a very sore lower back and my stomach feels like I've been doing sit-ups which I haven't. Would have loved to stay in bed this morning!

jess0211 · March 2017

@2dash I also have no desire for anything sweet and normally I love chocolate

BayCamp · March 2017

Same here! I've usually got a major sweet tooth and I just haven't lately. Probably a good thing because I've been eating nothing but carbs, hopefully the lack of sweets is balancing me out.

kyersten · March 2017

@2Dash Also feel like I was doing sit-ups too (and I wasn't). My whole torso just feels sore right now.

I have been having major food aversion this week to almost everything. Finding it difficult to settle on foods that don't sound totally gross to me right now.

@TallMomma29 I am getting really annoyed by sounds that aren't really that loud. I think I ticked dh off by critiquing how he was dumping some stuck packing corners out of a cardboard box the other night.

bcashaw · March 2017

@TallMomma29 omg YES I'm so glad it's not just me. I nearly kill my step kids every night because I can hear them whispering in their bedroom a floor below mine.

@jess0211 I have been forcing myself to drink meal replacement shakes because they are literally the only thing I can force myself to eat. And saltiness crackers.
It's actually the worst. I ate 6 sleeves of saltine crackers over the weekend

Yeah... I got suddenly hit with nausea too. Which I'm glad about, because yay... symptoms. But on the other hand, NOTHING sounds good. I don't think I'll actually throw up or anything, but it's just like a mild nausea where everything sounds terrible.

ArtificialRed · March 2017

Uh, yeah. Food adversions are just horrible. I lost about three pounds last week from it. Hopefully that slows down...

Anybody else still getting randomly cold? I'm so ready for warmer weathe because if I start feeling chilled, it's like nothing will warm me up again. Some nights I take showers just so I can be warm for a bit. Well, also because nothing stinks in my shower and it takes away any queasiness. Showers are awesome.

BayCamp · March 2017

I feel like I have a fever today even though I don't. I'm freezing, and it's Florida so it's definitely not actually cold. Like sweatpants, sweater, socks, and 2 blankets cold. And I've been achy and congested since last night. Throw in the all day morning sickness and it's safe to say Paw Patrol has been parenting for me today.

adirat · March 2017

Yep, right there with you -- super cold all the time. I have a history of hypothyroid so I'm having my blood checked again to make sure it's OK... being cold was one of my big hypothyroid symptoms before I started meds so I'm a little nervous since (tw) hypothyroid in pregnancy can cause loss.

Today I ate half a delicious quesadilla, barfed it all up, then ate the other half. I am a real champ. For real though, I've been able to eat so little the last several days that I will take anyyyyything at this point!

ArtificialRed · March 2017

@adirat that's a good point. It's been almost four weeks since my thyroid numbers were checked, maybe it's time to check them again.

adirat · March 2017

@artificialred I had mine checked at the RE's the day of my first beta (I think 13dpo?) then again last week. I'll find out the new number at my endocrinology appointment tomorrow. When I first told my endocrinologist (not RE) I wanted to TTC last year, she said she likes to check TSH and T4 at least every 6 weeks throughout the pregnancy, but more often in the first tri since the highest-risk period is before the placenta forms. I agree it may be a good idea for you to have yours checked too if it's been 4 weeks.

captainfoxtrot · March 2017

I've been cold all the time too! (But I had hyper thyroid issues, not hypo..)

ArtificialRed · March 2017

@adirat okay, I can't count so it's only been three weeks since the blood work. Since cold spells like this aren't unheard of for me when I'm in general good health, I'm feeling pretty comfortable to wait for my scheduled blood work which is next week. They said they would take a list of things, and I'll just make sure thyroid is included. Side note- not looking forward to giving multiple vials. I do not handle it as well pregnant as I can normally. I used to have so much trouble with needles but then I got hashimotos, and I managed to get used to it. But now I'm back to freaking out again. I'm terrified of passing out and/or getting sick. I'll have DS with me, so I'll have to suck it up and put on my brace face. (Which is probably for the best!)

Pregnancy makes me whiny. Can I add that to my symptoms list?

panache-2 · March 2017

::::TW::::: I don't know where else to post...I didn't want to start a new thread. But, my time here is short lived. Started having a miscarriage early this morning. Good luck to all of you ladies. HH 9 months to all of you!
