1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 8 weeks, raspberry bebe!

2. How have you been feeling? A little better lately - stomach ache on and off all day, nothing sounds good to eat, can only eat tiny portions, tired, bloated.

3. Any appointments coming up? First U/S tomorrow!!!

4. Rants, raves, questions? Nothing, I just really hope things go OK tomorrow.

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant? I tested early in the morning, so I crawled back in bed and put his hand in my tummy and said that hopefully the third time's the charm.

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks! Size of a blueberry.

2. How have you been feeling?

I have been feeling pretty sick this week. Tuesday was ROUGH but otherwise it has been mild nausea throughout the entire day. I have been having some difficulty eating so I have been snacking throughout the day and just picking at lunch and dinner. I also had a near pooping disaster earlier this week that I hope to never experience again. Other then that I have been on edge about my brown spotting that occurred yesterday but it seems to have stopped for now so I'm crossing my fingers it was a fluke. I ended up leaving work at noon and after getting my blood drawn I went home and slept the rest of the day. Glad I did too because I had a bad night of cramps that had me running to the bathroom to check and make sure nothing else was going on. Sigh.

3. Any appointments coming up?

I went in yesterday to have some labs drawn because of the spotting. My Dr. office said it could be a sign of low progesterone so I'm anxiously waiting the call about the results. My first real appointment is in exactly 2 weeks!

4. Rants, raves, questions?

I'm just so ready for this first appointment. I don't think anything is going to make my anxiety go away until I hear the heartbeat for the first time.

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant?

I woke up really early the morning I tested and got my BFP. So I didn't want to wake my husband up and I already had a baby onesie I wanted to surprise him with that said "And so the adventure begins" on it. So after I got home from work I placed the onesie in the dryer and told him there was something wrong with it and I needed him to take a look at it for me. He walked in and saw the onesie right away but it look a few minuets for him to process what was happening. He asked me if I was joking... like why would I joke about that? lol Then he got really excited and we both cried but when he asked to see the positive test the line was so faint he almost didn't believe it! lol

@JJMNO1616 I'm sorry that you're having such a rough time with the spotting and cramps, and all that on top of feeling crummy. FX for good news from your bloodwork, and maybe they'll wind up being able to get you in for an U/S just to ease your mind.... thinking of you.

jenotontx · August 2017

@hedgepig Thanks! I'll post as soon as I hear back from the office. I'm so excited for you tomorrow! Can't wait to see your update on the U/S thread.

saralee797-2 · August 2017

@hedgepig Good luck tomorrow!!
@JJMNO1616 I hope your results come back fine but if they don't low P is easily fixed with meds. Don't worry!!

ngolimento · August 2017

How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 7 weeks. Blueberry.

2. How have you been feeling? I was pretty ok until about two days ago, then the nausea train came to town. Blaaah.

3. Any appointments coming up? On the 28th. 4 more days until I see my baby for the first time!

4. Rants, raves, questions? None other than the "if my husband says he is tired one more time, I will kill him" usual.

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant? With my DD, I bought little Batman socks with capes on them, and surprised him. This go around I handed him the peestick while he had my daughter on his lap. All the glamor is gone with the second .

scuba_chic · August 2017

How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 6w3d; size of a ladybug.

2. How have you been feeling? Constant mild nausea/dizzy feeling but no MS yet. Would really love to get some energy levels back.

3. Any appointments coming up? Sept 5

4. Rants, raves, questions? DH is enjoying our vacay in Aruba that doc was adamant I not go. I convinced him to go because we still had friends going and it would cost more to cancel his flight and hotel. So while he's on a beautiful beach, I'm at work everyday and lonely at night. I could go out and do stuff, but no energy to do it.

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant? DH always joked that the day he found out he would be a dad, he would run off to Mexico. We have two cats that he loves, so I made them both fake passports, handed them to him and told him he could only take one with him lol. It was corny, but different.

hedgepig · August 2017

@scuba_chic Just FYI, you post on the ticker change for the day that you are exactly 6 weeks, or 7 weeks, etc. Since you are 6w3d, then your ticker change day should be Monday, when you'll be 7w0d.
Edit: no worries about having posted here, and no need to change anything, just wanted to let you know

Edit x2: I'm sorry you're home alone and sad... that sucks

Ahhhh!!! Thank you for the clarification. I was wondering why there were so many different ones. Duh! Thank you! haha

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
9 weeks - cherry! Moving over from Sunday ticker after getting my adjusted EDD (3/29) based on my appt on Tuesday this week hi Thursday ladies!

2. How have you been feeling?

Much better this week. Weeks 6 and 7 suuuuucked, I felt so sick. Much less nausea this week but still dead tired and not feeling 100%. Hoping this trend stays until 2nd tri and then I start feeling good again!

3. Any appointments coming up?
Just had my first this week on Tuesday - got to hear the heartbeat and had my first u/s! Best day ever. Next one is in a couple weeks to meet one of the OBs in the practice to start to decide which one I'll go with.

4. Rants, raves, questions?

Still missing food but my appetite has gotten a little better the last week or so. As far as raves go, nothing can top seeing that little heart beating on the u/s. DH took a video and I've watched it about 500 times.

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant?

I tested that morning before work and got the faintest line ever and wasn't sure if I was just seeing things. Spent the rest of the day googling faint positives, lol. Bought a pink dye test on the way home and took it when I got there, it was very obviously positive. I left it on the bureau in the bedroom, and when DH came home I casually asked him to grab me something off of it when he went in there. He was in shock and looked like he might pass out, lol. So so excited though, we couldn't stop smiling and nervous giggling for what seemed like hours after.

hedgepig · August 2017

Update: my OB's office just called because they needed to reschedule my U/S, so instead of Friday, I go Tuesday. Grrrr.

SharonKristin · August 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? I am 5 weeks today. The size of an apple seed

2. How have you been feeling? feeling tired and super bloated little cramping here and there once in a while I feel a little sick and my breasts are sore at the end of the day when I take my bra off

3. Any appointments coming up? I have an ultrasound scheduled with my RE on Wednesday which seems soooo far away.

4. Rants, raves, questions? I'm having such anxiety and I just want to see a healthy baby and heartbeat on Wednesday!

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant? this will be my third baby so I just showed him the positive digital I took...not very exciting

jodes727 · August 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?

7 weeks today, size of a blueberry

2. How have you been feeling?

The exhaustion continues but other symptoms have let up a bit. Definitely still bloated, sore boobs, but it seems like I feel a bit more sick/uneasy late in the afternoon.

3. Any appointments coming up?

We have another u/s on Wednesday. Excited to see how much he has grown since our 6w u/s and to learn if there are one or two in there!

4. Rants, raves, questions?

I so wish I could turn off my pgal brain It is so hard not to let it control my thinking!!

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant?

We did our FET and I knew I wouldn't test before our beta draw, so we both found out when a nurse called us to tell us 10 days after our transfer. After our first FET our RE called us because it had failed, so as soon as I heard the nurses voice I knew we had a BFP

geojaminee · August 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
5 weeks- Appleseed

2. How have you been feeling?
Totally fine actually. I had like 72 hours of mild MS, but I haven't had an issue since. It's still early though.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not til Sept 18

4. Rants, raves, questions?
It's so weird still. This feels so much different than last time. I haven't told many people, and it feels so weird to pretend like its business as usual but I've got this huge secret.
5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant?
Well, this was a huge surprise. We had just DTD, and as I was about to input our activity into my app, there was in big bold red letters *PERIOD EXPECTED TODAY* and I had no sign whatsoever. My app said I O'ed 3 days early and I kept ignoring it thinking it was a mistake so my period was due 3 days earlier than usual. My friend talked me into taking a test, it was positive o.O and I just showed him the test like WTF and he said WHAT?! HOW ARE YOU PREGNANT?! And then gave me a hug. Exciting, but literally, a unexpected relief from the stress of TTC.

@JJMNO1616 What a cute way to tell your H!! Hopefully the spotting is NBD and FX for a great appt!

beenabee · August 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 8 weeks, raspberry!

2. How have you been feeling? Better, weeks 6 and 7 were super rough. I've been taking 3 nausea pills a day for a week now and they've really helped. I'm still not feeling 100% but definitely better.

3. Any appointments coming up? September 11th is my next appointment. I'll be meeting with someone, I forget what they called them, and then my OB for another ultrasound, yay! I'll be over 10 weeks so hoping to catch baby wiggling around!

4. Rants, raves, questions? I found baby's heartbeat for the first time on my home Doppler yesterday at exactly 8 weeks! I found it with DS at around 9 weeks so I knew I'd be able to find it a little sooner with this one. It's literally the best sound

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant? It was the morning of my birthday and we were NOT trying, we were actually preventing, but for some reason I wanted to test (mothers intuition ) so I tested and sure enough a BFP. It was like 5:00 in the morning and DH was giving our DS a bottle so I texted him to come into the bathroom and showed him. I wanted to surprise him but I was majorly freaking out so I needed to tell him. We were over the moon after trying for 3-4ish months and throwing in the towel, then finally getting a BFP.

mstoddart · August 2017

(I'm a few days late to the ticker change, but I am a Thursday girl!)

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 6 weeks! Baby is the size of a sweet pea or ladybug, depending on which app you ask

2. How have you been feeling? Decent! My biggest complaint is the insane exhaustion and fatigue. Levels of tired I didn't know existed. Nausea here and there, very unpredictable. Breast tenderness has lessened, which makes me nervous.

3. Any appointments coming up? I saw my RE for an ultrasound on 8.25, which was great. I'll see him one more time and then if everything looks good I'll graduate to my OB.

4. Rants, raves, questions? I wish there was a way to force my self to enjoy the happy without worrying about the what-ifs. Also, how do I make myself drink more water?

5. GTKY: How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant? We were seeing a RE and did IUI this cycle, so there wasn't a lot of room for surprises. I did get up and test at like 4:30am (because I had to pee), so I woke him up with the positive results.
