  • @zamora_spin I am going to try adopting your perspective on MMC, it sounds a whole lot better when you view as what your body DID do, thank you. ♡

    && @ChloandCoco you are a rockstar tagger!!! 

    Sending all the good vibes to everyone on this thread, this is a very tense and stressfilled couple weeks for each and every one of us! 
  • How far along are you? 7 weeks 4 days

    Any milestones you would like to mention? I just can't wait for my first appointment. After I see a heartbeat, I will have so much weight lifted of my shoulders.

    Any appointments coming up? Monday 10/30. Luckily in the morning so I don't have to stress out all day.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope.

    How are you doing (Dear diary posts welcome)? The cramping is worrying me. Trying to stay positive.

    GTKY:  What are some small things that make your day better? Literally coming on here and seeing other ladies' ultrasound photos.

    @PatientlyWaiting10 Thanks for sharing! I have been so mystified as to how this seems to be. With my losses we didn’t check progesterone until after I’d been spotting, then both times it was extremely low (like 1.2 and 2.7). I was told it must just be low because my body had already recognized the miscarriage, seeing as how I had no trouble with DD. I also had to advocate to get it checked as soon as I got a BFP this time because I couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t right.

  • @Dashaina that's great!!

    so for about 15 minutes I've been having this dull feeling that reminds me of a very mild contraction from my 1st pregnancy. Anyone else getting odd feelings? I know so much can change in our uterus (I'm 8 weeks tomorrow) and trying not to freak out. 
  • OK... Finally figured out where all the info was on my pictures. So my due date is changed and I'm measuring ahead. Should I be concerned about that??

  • @Dashaina no you likely just implanted early based on what you said in the ultrasound thread. 
  • @katie121209 I get odd feelings all the time. Sometimes it's a tug, sometimes it's a flicker like cramp, sometimes it's a tightening type cramp. Are they coming in repeats? When I had my first loss I had pretty weird cramps that felt like my stomach was tightening and it would contract and get worse every few minutes. My second loss I didn't experience anything like that but I was 2 weeks earlier with that one. Drink lots of water, I find when I do get weird sensations water helps. Thinking of you and hoping it's just your PGAL brain playing weird tricks on you
  • @40momma this is like a tightening cramp. With my loss my cramps felt like menstrual cramps for several days. I'm hoping I just need to go to the bathroom and this is all normal. 
  • @katie121209 I've had some weird ones too. Mostly I just feel very aware of my uterus.. but some are tighter, sometimes it's just a pressure feeling. I don't really know what's normal & what isn't anymore lol 
  • @Dashaina great news!! I hope this allows you to feel much more at ease now! 
  • @doxiemoxie212 you know come to think of it that would make sense based on my luteal phase length (10/11 days) and I felt pg around dpo 5. Ok.. Phew.. Feeling better about that now. PGAL sucks... Literally has me thinking EVERYTHING is somehow going to be horribly wrong. I miss blissful too.

    @bkrahn I definitely feel more at ease... Especially since I am measuring past 8wks...for me that is a milestone and  I feel like I'm in the clear as can be given the circumstances zone.

  • @Dashaina So happy for your wonderful u/s!
  • @katie121209 with DD1 and this pg... I've had very mild "contraction" like pain. It lasted roughly 3 or 4 nights for around 30 minutes with DD1 and with current only happened twice at the beginning of this week and I did this yoga uterus relaxation technique my aunt taught me and it did the trick of helping ease the discomfort quickly. I agree with @40momma about drinking water too.

  • @Dashaina I was waiting all day for your post and I’m so glad everything is looking good! I would be so excited if my due date was moved up! 
  • @dashaina Great news!  So glad everything looked great!!  AND that you got to see and hear that precious little heartbeat!  YAY!!

    @katie121209 Yes, I get weird cramps and feelings all the time.  If I'm laying flat on my back and roll I feel pulls and twinges (that most of the time scare me), if I'm sitting, walking, relaxing, all different kinds and all different times.  A lot of the time though it has to do with gas or BM.  Hopefully that's all it is for you and you feel better.

  • @lisa2589 It's so strange how our bodies work isn't it?  DH actually said last night when I wasn't feeling well after I took my progesterone, "maybe you have too much."  I'm not sure if that's possible, but who knows... I'm on 100mg twice daily by mouth.

  • @PatientlyWaiting10 If taking progesterone orally is making you sick you could ask your dr about taking it vaginally. Fewer side effects that way.
  • @zamora_spin I usually just feel a little nauseous about a half hour after I take it.  And it usually only last s an hour or so.  And it seems like it depends on what I eat too on how it effects me.  I don't know, so strange.  My dr. also told my the suppository is messy and kind of not fun that way...It's a toss up, which end do I want the hassle.  It's worth it in the long run, right?

  • @PatientlyWaiting10 If you're not having too much trouble, I'm sure it's fine, I've just heard some people get really sick taking it orally. I've been using Prometrium as a suppository since 4dpo and it's not a big deal. It did lead to some early pregnancy like symptoms before I was pregnant - like swollen boobs and a couple waves of nausea, but now I wouldn't even know I'm on it. At night almost nothing comes out because I put it in right before bed, and during the morning after I put it in I just wear a liner for the first part of the day. It's just kind of a pink discharge. 
  • edited October 2017
    @zamora_spin Good to know!!  I've heard good and bad about both.  I'm also on Promethium.

    ETA: Thanks for sharing your experience with me!

  • Thanks ladies. It lasted about 30 minutes last night and 30 minutes again last hour. I called the nurse who gave me the standard yeah it could just be your uterus starting to stretch out call us back if pain increases or spotting. She told me to try relaxing bc it's only going to make it worse if I'm stressing about a possible MC. Easier said that done :( PGAL brain 
  • @katie121209 I'm glad it's not lasting too long and that you called.  Yes, definitely not easy with PGAL.  Try to do something that will keep you busy so you don't think about it as much.

  • U/S later today and I'm scared to death. I've convinced myself of the worst possible outcome and it's so hard to think otherwise. I'm 6w3d and very few symptoms with light spotting that comes and goes. I'm praying hard for a positive u/s with a good strong heartbeat. 
  • @40momma thinking of you! Hope everything goes well!
  • My social media feed has been full of pregnancy announcements this week and seeing them makes me SO nervous and uneasy. 
  • @40momma GL today!!  Keep us posted on how it goes!

    I so wish I had good news to tell you ladies, but unfortunately I don't. 
    Betas were low (500 at 5w6d), not much to see on abdominal u/s and so we didn't even bother with a vaginal. I've started bleeding and cramping and I just already know the outcome. 
    Please take care of yourselves ladies and stay strong, you give me hope that someday I can join you. 
  • @40momma I’m so sorry. I know there are no words right now. Hugs. Please be kind to yourself.
  • @40momma :( I'm so so sorry this is happening. I wish there was anything we could say that would help, but we all know that's impossible. Sending you so many hugs.
