How far along are you? 5+3 POAS again this morning. The test line was darker than the control.
How are you feeling? Good. Not much for symptoms still. Or they come and go. I had a bout of nausea yesterday afternoon after work but it went away quickly.
GTKY: What are you craving right now? It smelled like chicken fingers on my way in from work this morning so now I want chicken fingers. Also coffee.
@izza2 are you craving pickles and chocolate milk together? That would be interesting.

How are you feeling?
Mostly fine, except my boobs feel like they are going to pop!
GTKY: What are you craving right now?
I haven't really had any cravings, but I haven't had much of appetite lately, so pretty much as soon as something sounds good, I have to have it that very second. Yesterday I called in a California roll from the sushi place by my house, and when I picked it up, I decided I couldn't wait 5 minutes to get home to eat it. So I stuffed it down my face-hole in my car, in the parking lot. No shame in my game.
Also thinking of @catlady1215 @offtoneverland today
ETA I mistype how far along I am every.single.time.
@offtoneverland - Have fun making the pumpkin roll!
@Hollyyyyy - Lol'ing at stuffing the roll in your "face-hole"

How are you feeling? Good atm. Did a third beta (to calm my BSC) and it came back solid so I'm going to try to focus on everything going well and enjoy that I still feel really good right now. I did break down in sobs last night in the kitchen. I wasn't really even sad, just overwhelmed, DH left his dish in the sink covered in food and for some reason that was the straw that broke the camel's back after a very long and stressful work day. DH gave me lots of big hugs and said he would try to take care of some stuff around the house to help reduce my stress.
GTKY: What are you craving right now? Hmm, would like some string cheese right now and I think I failed to bring any to work with me. Generally not having any strong cravings, but I do find when I get hungry I AM STARVING.

I am 7+6 today. I have a cold, which makes everything feel worse. I asked the doctor yesterday for medication I could take and she told me sudafed but to check with the pharmacist. So I asked the pharmacist who went off, telling me that I should never take sudafed, especially in the first trimester. So I still haven't taken anything and feel like crap. I'm not sleeping and the cold just makes it worse.
Im not really craving anything. With DS, I craved hot pastrami on an everything bagel. This time, food is unappealing.
@catlady1215 @offtoneverland @Hollyyyyy thinking of you guys!
How far along are you? 7+5
How are you feeling? Good, a bit gassy currently
GTKY: What are you craving right now? I don't have any specific cravings but if I think of something, I HAVE to eat it. My mom and DH think it's hysterical because, okay, I'm rather thin. It's more noticeable because I'm also tall. And I generally just sort of constantly snack. I've never had a full abdominal X-ray, but doctors have assumed that my stomach is sort of partially under my ribcage because generally if I eat too much, (TMI?) I feel food start to back up into my esophagus lol, I never experienced before pregnancy like a "I've eaten too much, my pants don't fit" situation (but oh man do I get it now!). So I've always eaten like 1/4 of my meal and then I'm hungry again an hour later. And I NEVER want breakfast before I've been up for at least two hours and my stomach has time to wake up. Well, my stomach is now awake ALL THE TIME. I'm starving ALL THE TIME. And I can eat all the food. Like, in a single sitting I can eat at least 5x more than what I was able to before. DH and my mom keep bringing "panic snacks" in the car for me. Sigh. (Wow, long answer... whoops)
As for the trip from hell.... basically DHs family does not communicate with each other. At all. It's insane. So everyone is annoyed at each other constantly due to misunderstandings, which no one will bother to clear up, and there's my mom -- giddy as ever, completely unable to pickup on any tension or sarcasm, ever. And DH keeps getting pulled into work so he's up at 5am on conference calls, and still working well past midnight so he gets no sleep. And FIL got this gigantic SUV (7 seater?) so we could all fit in one car (but we have a rental car and my mom has her actual car so we could've just taken two cars) but he doesn't feel Comfortable driving it, so DH has to drive it, but DH hates it. And they chose the hotel farthest from my moms house so DH is mad they didn't change it when we told them to a month ago. So I'm just here eating all the things, trying to ignore everyone around me, wondering if I'll be able to stop myself from eating soon so I don't double in weight like my mom nearly did with me lol.
@krashke Yay for the line being darker than the control!
@offtoneverland I'm thinking of you!
@Hollyyyyy I'm like that too, if I'm craving something I need it in the next 5 minutes.
@zamora_spin Being pregnant is very overwhelming, especially with PGAL brain. I'm really glad your betas came back super strong!
@marcus7676 I'm sorry you have a cold, that really sucks. FX it goes away quickly!
@doxiemoxie212 That really doesn't sound like a fun trip...
@ChloandCoco - I've been having cramping since 10 DPO, and at this point I'm splitting it between uterine expansion and gas pains. I said this on last weeks thread, but that nurse doesn't know what she's talking about, and your HCG doubled appropriately. *hugs*
I called my doctor's office and asked if I could get beta draws before my appt. Spoke to my favourite person at the call center - and also the only one who knows I'm pregnant so far (I've been filling in there at work lately), so I'm glad for that.
Just twiddling my thumbs waiting for a call back at this point. They have no reason to say no to the request, because it's literally as easy as putting the order in and then calling me with the results, but I'm expecting a resounding "no".
Me: 30 | DH: 34 | DSS: 14 | DS: 4
PG #2, EDD 10/12/2023
@ChloandCoco FX for your next draw. Sending you good vibes!!
@doxiemoxie212 I'm sorry things are so complicated with YH's family. I do, seriously, love the "panic snacks." That is so funny and thoughtful!
@marcus7676 Sucks to have a cold and just have to suffer through it. Maybe you could get some relief with your face over some steaming water and a towel over your head? Or, second the neti pot idea. I hope you feel better soon.
@zamora_spin So happy for your good beta!!
@Hollyyyyy I'm with you on the lack of appetite.
@offtoneverland Pumpkin roll sounds tasty! Are you staying in for YH's birthday? Or will you do a dinner out?
@krashke I'm still POAS, too. Husband thinks I'm crazy. Mine have been lighter ever since I got a new box (that I ordered before I got my BFP), so I'm hoping it is just the new batch doesn't get as dark. I don't even know if it means anything if the line is lighter....¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@izza2 Mmm...chocolate milk sounds delish. I haven't had in years, but now I'm walking over to Duane Reade to get one.
--------------------------------------------
How far along are you? 4 weeks + 5 days
How are you feeling? Pretty great today. I stayed home yesterday because I was so bloated and needed to poop soo bad (constipation is real, ya'll). But I took the Magnesium Citrate and now everything feels a-ok!
GTKY: What are you craving right now? Nothing (except the chocolate milk, now). I really have no appetite. It is weird. I'm you're typical fat kid who will eat pretty much whenever. I've said more than once, "Well, I'm not hungry, but I could eat." So, I feel very out of sorts.
@krashke Thanks! I hope you get some chicken fingers.
@Hollyyyyy @offtoneverland @catlady1215 You are all in my thoughts, I know it is so hard to be struggling with uncertainty.
@marcus7676 I second the neti pot suggestion. It is also safe to take tylenol during pregnancy, so you could try neti pot plus tylenol.
@doxiemoxie212 Oh dear, I hate disorganized trips. Just keep eating all the things. If you're pretty skinny your doc will want you to gain a little more weight anyway.
@ChloandCoco That hCG rise is tremendous. I think that nurse is an idiot and really obnoxious for even putting concern into your head. You know you ovulated after CD14, and you could have had a later implantation. The fact that you have a good rise is the best indication that this pregnancy is healthy.
I wish healthcare people would just admit that there's a very wide range of normal with hCG, and that the most important thing is that it's going up every two days, even if it's not perfectly doubling in 48 hours, even if it's not "where it's supposed to be" according to some dusty chart.
@doxiemoxie212 Now I have a funny mental picture of you ignoring all the drama around you while happily stuffing your face! lol Hope you're getting some yummy food on your trip! During my first pregnancy, DH had to pack panic snacks for me too wherever we went otherwise I would bite his head off.
@LaceyBee522 We planned a date night on Saturday for DH's birthday. We're going to DC for dinner at a tapas restaurant followed by a play. I've never had tapas before so I'm really excited! I don't think you need to worry about the lighter lines on your HPTs. Sounds like that batch just doesn't get as dark as the others.
@marcus7676 When I have a cold, I put a few drops of eucalyptus oil on the floor of the shower and take a nice, hot shower. The smell of the eucalyptus oil helps clear up congestion. Hope you get some relief soon!

I have seen an array of HCG levels on here so while there are ranges of normal it might not be your normal. I think as long as they are rising consistently you're moving in the right direction.
I am a very numbers driven person so I can see how we fixate on the numbers and I know it's that much harder for the PGAL ladies.
That's just my two cents and hope that those in limbo can find some peace from the worry and maybe just focus on staying healthy physically and mentally for your little beans.

@izza2 I'm glad you got the orders, but I'm sorry you have to wait. I'm so impatient, the waiting would drive me bonkers.
@catlady1215 Yay! So exciting you got to see the blob and hear a heartbeat!!
Off topic: Is anyone calling their zygote/blastocyst/embryo something? I've heard people do cute things like peanut or bean. Husband and I have started calling it The Parasite. I'm worried we're already causing psychological damage. Lol!!
@offtoneverland I think the mental health call off day is just what you needed today!

in my head I call it ladybug.. mainly cause the 1st day of my cycle when I got pregnant, a lady bug landed on me and I hoped it was good luck. Not sure what 'name' will stick with DH.

@catlady1215 yayayayaya! Seriously so happy for you.
Also, @LaceyBee522 we called DS gremlin. I had trouble switching from Gremlin when he was born (we were team green so Gremlin was his name for a long time). Two is just Two. My H wants to call it Blueberry but I'm not so sure.
My update: The nurse called and said they can't tell much from my numbers so they want me to do another beta tomorrow. Now I just need to decide what time to do it. I really want to do it in the morning so that I get the results before the weekend, but that would be less than 48 hours from the last beta. She said the timing didn't really matter but I don't want to go too early. I'll probably go around 3 and hope that it's enough time to get my results before the weekend! I took another FRER and the line is as dark as yesterday's test. Probably can't tell too much from the lines, but I'm going to keep POAS anyways because it makes me feel better!
