Re: Check in August 28 1st Trimester
I am 6 weeks and 2 days! Its going fast! April 23
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Maybe a little nausea but it could be the vitamins. I've thrown up twice in the past few days. Other than that nothing really
3. When is your next appointment?
Next friday is first US with RE
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
Kinda bummed to not have a US confirm the pregnancy (sac, fetal pole, HR etc) prior to telling my parents this weekend. I'm nervous that if the US shows nothing next week I'll be devastated I ruined the "you're going to be a grandparent" thing. We have to tell them because we won't see them in person again until mid october and as of now we have a family trip planned to the Bahamas at Christmas and will need to change the location due to Zika (which I don't entirely buy into anyways). I was going go to to one of US places but DH is worried we won't see anything because it's so early and then i'll be even more devastated this weekend not knowing...
QOTW: Have you bought anything for baby yet?!
A cute onesie, walked into Buy Buy Baby for the first time...wow overwhelming!
Measuring 6 weeks 4 days. April 23rd is still EDD for now.
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
I have to pee all the time tmi lol. And a little tiredness.
3. When is your next appointment?
I have a scan with my RE Sept. 6th.
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
Other than being scared that something is going to go wrong I am slowly beginning to get excited.
QOTW: Have you bought anything for the baby yet?!
Haven't bought anything and probably won't for awhile. Maybe a little superstitious or cautious lol.
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? sore breasts and fatigue
3. When is your next appointment? tomorrow, for my first u/s.
4. Anything else you'd like to share? This board was so helpful to me during my first pregnancy. Unfortunately, I went into pre-term labor at 18 weeks and we lost out baby girl last November. I am nervous and anxious far beyond what I was last time, but am seeing a counselor and doing yoga/meditation to help. I decided to come back to this board and the PGaL board because I know the support from others going through something similar will also be tremendously helpful, so thank you all in advance!
QOTW: Have you bought anything for baby yet?! Not this time. We still have stuff we bought last time and I just can't bring myself to get that attached yet. I have been looking at baby items in the stores and on amazon though, allowing myself to be hopeful
@meredithj123 thank you for starting this board! I looked Tuesday and didn't see one, so glad to see one today! Good luck with your first u/s next week!
@rel_1987 the 6th will be here before you know it! Good luck!

Still have food aversions and still tired..just last week i started gagging to the point of getting sick when taking my prenatals.
3. When is your next appointment?
No appointments until September 12th at MFM
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
I had another bleeding scare on Saturday and ive been very worried since the doctor said there was no reason to come in..so i am going tomorrow to have an elective ultrasound to hear their heartbeats to put my mind at ease..
QOTW: Have you bought anything for baby yet?!
Ive bought girl clothes before getting pregnant in hopes that there would be a girl!! Lol!! I will be buying a few boy items too when i feel like leaving the house.. so ill have both sexes covered in case.. oh and i also bought them their first book!
1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 8 weeks and 6 days. EDD April 6th.
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? Feeling pretty good. Lately I've only really been suffering from fatigue, hunger and food aversions. I have little desire to eat meat most of the time, it just grosses me out all of the sudden.
3. When is your next appointment? Tuesday, September 5th is my last appointment with my RE. I'm excited but also sad to be moving along. I love all the nurses there!
4. Anything else you'd like to share? Not right now.
QOTW: Have you bought anything for baby yet?! Not yet. I did start a private baby registry on Amazon the other day though to start saving all the things I want to buy.
@meredithj123 Thanks for getting the thread started!
@rel_1987 Ugh, I forgot peeing all the time as a symptom. I feel like I always have to go, especially in the middle of the night. Its so annoying. Lol.
@halips Good luck on your US tomorrow! I hope it goes well.
@momma6angels11 Good luck in your second trimester!
1) I'm 6 weeks 1 day along with an EDD of 5/3
2) As for symptoms I'm experiencing exhaustion during the day but trouble sleeping at night and waves of nausea. I think my breasts are growing too.
3) Mynext appointment is 9/12 for my first ultrasound and a meeting with the nurse practitioner
4) **TW** This is my second pregnancy but my only one since suffering from infertility. My pregnancy with my son was planned but I was very sick and nauseous the entire time. I'm pretty nervous how this pregnancy will treat me but I'm just so happy to be pregnant at this point.
QOTW: I haven't bought anything but always started thinking about a pregnancy announcement. My husband and I are keeping it pretty secret until we feel everything's in a little bit more of a safer place.
@halips wow what a journey you have been on! I hope this pregnancy ends with a beautiful baby in your arms!!!
@momma6angels11 your bleeding sounds scary! I hope you and baby are doing okay!
RE changed my due date based on Conception not LMP: 6w 5d/ April 23... I assume this will continue to change with U/S?
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Nausea something fierce, food aversions: good bye dairy, exhaustion and increase in urinating.
Cramping more than normal has me nervous. It feels like my period is coming.
3. When is your next appointment?
My Aug 30th U/S got cancelled because Harvey flooding in TX. CORM is closed until further notice.
OB appt set up with insured provider Sept 15 (8w 4d) does not include U/S. Hoping to talk them into it.
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
My husband just deployed and am excited that I don't have to cook!! Love Salads and bread right now!
QOTW: Have you bought anything for baby yet?! Not yet. I did start a private baby registry on Target which was fun.
@Prayingfor2 wow you're amazing doing this pregnancy with your husband deployed. Do you know when he will be back?
As a military family, we are used to him being gone. We chose to start treatments right before he left so that he would be home to bond and see all the firsts. The first year is so important.
We have iPhones so we are able to iMessage/ FaceTime almost daily and he plans to be "present" for as many apppointments as possible.
I totally understand being "thankful" for the nausea and other not so friendly symptoms because it means we were successful in this long journey! This is my second (secondary MFI) pregnancy and I am babying it so much and trying not to freak out with the cramping. I didn't have cramping with my first. Congratulations to you!
1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?
I'm 8w4d today. EDD is April 11, 2017, according to the calendar.
2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Nothing much really, other than insatiable appetite?
3. When is your next appointment?
I was released from my RE last Friday at the 8-week appointment. The next appointment is with an OB on September 14th (10w1d). I couldn't get an appointment with an OB I wanted, but seeing a nurse practitioner in the same clinic.
4. Anything else you'd like to share?
FTM at 39! I'm feeling nervous and scared. So far the bean's doing okay but this lack of pregnancy symptoms is not comforting! My RE and acupuncturists tell me to consider myself lucky and just be happy with it.
QOTW: Have you bought anything for baby yet?!
Nope, not yet! I probably won't until I'm past the first trimester, and likely will go crazy around xmas.

@cashewchicken welcome and congrats on getting released to your OB. You are lucky with no symptoms but I keep telling my hubby I have a love hate relationship with mine. I hate them because they suck but I love them because they are the things telling me I'm still pregnant.
@jfeeney06- Hopefully your symptoms lets up soon! I do envy a bit as I have no idea in between appointments how my bean is doing! I look forward to the day my bean starts kicking so I'll have daily assurance that he's alive and kicking...
Though when I hear about the case of severe morning sickness like the Dutchess of Cambridge, I'm reminded how lucky I am (with regards to early pregnancy symptoms)
