  • @Holls214 I'm a born again virgin! I told my OH to literally get it in before the transfer his fault for not listening  :D  I think I'm actually more upset about it than him but I'm so sick it's ridiculous and I'm not even on the suppositories however my vag is still not back to normal so I need the doctor to figure that out too.  It's not on fire so it's bearable but it does concern me because I always want the dr to make sure I don't have a UTI.   Today I forced myself to eat crackers every few hours and I kept trying to eat just something so even though I felt like poo at least everything has stayed down so far anyway ;)

  • Ha ha seriously about the born again... I have even had some steamy dreams too which I guess are a part of pregnancy too. ;) I didn’t get sick today either. Little win for us. Hopefully your doctor can figure that out. I know you have been dealing with that for a while sorry!!!

  • Awww @hopeful_mom thank you!! Hopefully the nausea will start to ease for you soon!
  • @mtpbadger welcome!! Sorry you are so tired but it sounds like you are avoiding most of the nausea which is good! You must live in Wisconsin? We have a lot of family that lives over there. Hopefully you aren’t always freezing like me with the cold winter coming.

  • @holls214 I went to school in Wisconsin but currently living just outside of DC. I was back in Wisconsin (Madison) over the weekend and BRRRR was it cold!! I am not cut out for that type of cold anymore. My office is constantly freezing (I think they seriously still have the A/C on in November when it's 45 degrees out). It's horrible!
  • Ahhhh got ya! My sister and her husband got their Masters in Madison. Cool city. I am always cold now. I swear I look like a mess with 19 layers on. haha

  • @20t how did ur US go? Hope all is good!!

    AFM: i graduated from the clinic yesterday so it was a hard scary day for me so it's interesting that I was still so sick on that day. I wanted to get past that hurdle from last time so I thank God everything is going and hopefully it continues!!

     Peanut is doing great so that's the important thing!   At first it looked like the baby was sleeping but then all of a sudden the baby was dancing all around it was hard to even get the images and then to hear the heartbeat but it's great.   I go see the OB now on Monday.

    this throwing up is just ridiculous it's really such wear and tare on the body.  Last night was just awful threw up five times I was just so sick.  Any tricks you do after to help you feel better?

  • Awe hi peanut!! I’m still sick too. I have been doing the unisom stuff which has lessened the throwing up but then I’m exhausted all day. So I don’t know which is worse. So glad everything is going well with the babes!

  • What a wonderful ultrasound @Hopeful_mom! And yay for graduating!

    I was hoping to have an ultrasound today for my monthly appointment (yikes, it really is monthly now!), but they did a doppler instead. Oh well. I hope your OB appointment goes well!

    @Hopeful_mom - happy RE graduation :)

    glad to see new faces in this conversation - Yay for reproductive medicine!!!!!

    I’m 11w2d today! Nausea is changing - it’s now less intense in general, but then I feel just overwhelmingly overall sick if I get hungry. I also feel the exhaustion lifting up a bit. Also, it’s been over a week without progesterone!!! It’s very scary, and my next check isn’t till 13 weeks, but the boobs are still pretty sore and itchy, so I think it’s a good sign. Getting comfortable at night is becoming a bit harder, and I occasionally have weird punchy cramps all around my belly, which I attribute to stretching.
    Also, TMI, every time I need to poop, I get belly ache :( it eases up as soon as I do the deed, but it’s so uncomfortable and painful, and sometimes happens in the middle of the night. It also sometimes comes with the lower back paint too. Ugh!

    On the great news - our old house sold!!! With all the stuff we left in it! We should see the proceeds on Monday, but we’re already spending that money. We got a Cali king size bed (will arrive in Jan), and an amazing swivel/rock/recliner nursing chair (won’t arrive till about April).

    i can’t wait till 2nd trimester, the bump, and doing full on baby items shopping

  • Hopefully you ladies have had a better weekend than me. I’m sick with a cold and combined with vomiting it’s just misearable. It’s 4:45am and been up most of the night. 
    @FuzzyDust selling houses and buying new stuff is always exciting! We sold our first house last May and bought a whole bedroom set, king sized bed and dining set. We also bought new couches since we now have 2 living areas. Did you already buy a new house?

  • Ladies, I’m back. I haven’t posted in a while because work has been crazy and I get sooo exhausted by the time it’s 7pm it’s not even funny. 

    @Holls214 sorry you’re feeling sick - this is the good/bad of the first trimester where it’s nice to have symptoms but it makes us just as miserable. 

    @hopefulmom congrats on graduating - you did it! Such a huge milestone - Happy for you. The baby looks perfect! Are you still on PIO? Do you get to stop soon? The only trick I have is to eat something cold after? That always held me because my throat is usually sore after vomiting.

    AFM: had my US today - I was super nervous and took DH along because I didn’t want to drive myself. Well everything looks great - Baby is on track measuring at 6w5d and we heard the heartbeat!!!! Yes something we’ve been waiting for for so long. The US was over quick and my husband hugged the RE which I don’t think the RE was expecting :smile:

    I go back in 10 days and if everything is good then they’ll prob discharge me soon. This feels surreal but I am trying to enjoy every minute of it.

    BTW, my pharmacy ran out of PIO so I have to get a compounded version from a different pharmacy! Joy! 
  • @Holls214, yes, we got a new house about a month ago, and we’re waiting for the old to sell so that we could start buying new furniture. The old house was smaller with a lot of built in storage. The new one is huge (also 2 living rooms, so still need to furnish the second one), and nothing built in. Our new huge dining set and a king bed frame are coming in January, can’t wait!

  • @rainbows2018 congrats on a great US and strong HB so important!! I love your DH is so supportive and excited!! That's sooo important!!
    still doing PIO will probably stop it in a few days. 
    For PIO did u try freedom pharmacy they had it when I needed it last week and got it the next day.

    @Holls214 ugh I'm  sorry you are now even sicker you poor thing! We could've chatted last night I think I first finally fell asleep after five am.  I was up all night sick without the vomiting but sick nonetheless with my head in a bag anyway :s   Since I keep throwing up my prenatal vitamins the OB gave me a different one to try today so let's hope that this will be a little better!!

    @FuzzyDust exciting to hear all of your good news yay!! congrats on the house being sold and they took everything couldn't be happier for you! 
     Glad you're starting to feel some relief I can't wait to be able to see that too! Having issues with the pooping to the doctor so I should try Colace three times a day which didn't sound enticing either. I still have the spotting and I feel like that makes me even more irritated so that's annoying on top of it, so I feel your pain!

    Had my OB appt today, What a difference a tummy ultrasound is you can barely see my little peanut
    HB 150 today next the big test that I'll be a basket case for
    Technically I'm 11w5days but my overachiever is measuring 12wk3days :)
    The clot he called an SCH today which is scary but still small enough he's not concerned today.  I will feel better when it goes away because those are not such great things to have especially throughout the pregnancy.

  • @FuzzyDust that’s exciting! Yay! 
    @rainbows2018 glad everything is going well. How exciting you heard the heartbeat. We’ve only “seen” ours. We will get to hear it on Wednesday though. 
    @Hopeful_mom sorry you are not feeling well still either. Are you still working or been taking time off? I unfortunately had to take today off. And on top of being super sick I had to take my cat to the vet because he is sick too. Ugh. Glad you are progressing along and measuring ahead. Can’t wait for our next US on Wednesday.

  • @Holls214 your poor fur baby that's terrible!!  He's having sympathy pains for his mama!!   Hearing the heartbeat really is such a treat im excited for you.
     No working for me since I freelance I only get paid when I work and there's just no way I can right now. Especially reading up on the SCH says you should have bed rest I'll definitely will be taking it easy.   I've worked way too hard to get here!!

  • @Hopeful_mom glad you are able to take some time off. I might just take the rest of the week off to decompress from being sick and get some rest. I wish I didn’t have to work right now. It’s a struggle. We got our announcement pictures done over the weekend and I still don’t know when I’m going to feel safe enough to get them sent out.

  • @Holls214  awwwwww that's so exciting you'll have to share when you're ready!!  It's funny you say that because I was kind of asking the doctor that today but he didn't give me a solid answer so I'll have to see what he says at the next visit.   Until I actually start showing I don't think I'm saying anything just yet.  
     I give every pregnant lady that can manage working at the same time all the credit in the world! I need the money but it is what it is.  the same way I needed money for IVF I'll figure this out, this is my million dollar baby I need to take care of it :)

  • Had an ultrasound today. Maybe I was in a bad mood from being sick and Doctor was super late but I didn’t really like her... argh. To find someone else or try again?! We still haven’t heard the heartbeat which is frustrating. Got 8 vials of blood drawn too. Here’s the picture- not a great one since he was moving around... happy thanksgiving ladies!!! Hope you all have a wonderful day.

  • @Holls214 hi prince!!! That first one is a great pic!! He's looking perfect!!  Why so much blood?? Wonder why she didn't let u hear the HB? Hope you are feeling better!!! 

    AFM:  It's been a day my brown spotting turned to red so u can imagine the heart attack I was having!! Luckily the dr agreed to see me before leaving for the day! Thank g-d pnut is looking good and strong but I'm a mess
    They say I need to take it easy which I'm doing!!! Ugh this is gonna be some pregnancy.  And of course everyone at the office today had big ol bellys in the waiting room! I want that to be me already!!
    The SCH is still the same size so I don't get it as he assumes that's where the bleeding is coming from...I thought it would've shrunk a lil.  

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL! We have so much to be thankful all day sickness and all ;)!

  • It was for all the testing and genetics screening too. I dunno why we didn’t do a tummy ultrasound only a vaginal. Argh. Oh well. This cold is kicking my butt. Miserable... 
    sorry you are still dealing with bleeding!! Glad they got you in and peanut is doing well. Maybe you just need to take it easy for a couple days. Yes we sure do have a lot to be thankful for.  <3

  • @rainbows2018 I switched to getting my PIO from CVS to Shrafts 2.0, too!  I was afraid I might have to go off the sesame, since I now have two small itchy welts, but DH pointed out maybe I am just letting the oil get a bit to warm under the heating pad beforehand.  So I will try to go back to just holding it in my hot lil hand.

    ***lurking / hopeful???? ***


    1. How far along are you?  3+4 / 6dp5dt
    What is your EDD?  August 5th
    2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having? 
    Irritability, crazy dreams, Ute fullness/ warmth/ twinges, mild cramps, mild dizziness or lightheadedness?  Which is weird, like not quite nausea but just weird.
    3. When is your next doctor's appt?  Beta Day is Monday... repeat Wednesday, and if all is well, first scan on Dec 5th!!!
    <span>4. Anything else you'd like to share?  So yeah, very new here.  I know I may be jumping the gun a little.  I'm just also jumping out of my skin a little!  I'm so nervous and excited and I don't know where to share (besides any private groups).  The November FET thread has had a rough week.  So it feels insensitive to post about squinters there.  And until it's more official, I don't feel ready to AW on TTGP yet, either.  KWIM?  Hope it's okay if I sit with you????</span>
  • @BusinessWife woohoo for squinters praying that baby gets darker and u have a great beta!!
    so glad for you to be on this side with us!! Here comes your Christmas miracle :)

    hope everyone one enjoyed some turkey! Here's to keeping it down  :D

  • YAY of course come on over. I felt that way too posting on our boards even though most had success but you still feel bad. I lurk on some of your ladies boards too. Praying for an awesome beta for you. 
    So far so good on keeping the food down. I made the smallest plate now I am ready for a bit more.

  • @Hopeful_mom @Holls214. Thank you guys so much!  With the azoo, I have only ever had SWNs, so as many times as I have watched others go through it, this is still a first for me!  Trying to be logical and not put too much stock in perfect darkening of the cheapies, as there's still <i>something</i> there, and there actually was a nice bit of progression starting between two nights ago, yesterday morning, last night... I have a few more blue dye + - tests, and digis, and I may go ahead and grab some more frers while I'm out today, for good measure.  I have probably never in my life wished for a Monday to come quicker before!!! Lol

    Glad you ladies were able to enjoy some holiday eats :)
  • @BusinessWife - woo-hooo! A squinter and the symptoms sound great! Keeping my fingers crossed for darkening line and amazing Beta on Monday!

    @Hopeful_mom, sorry to hear about more blood, but good to know u/s looks all good. This must be nerve wrecking, it must suck to constantly worry like this ❤️ Hope the bleeding resolves quickly.

    @Holls214, feel better soon!!

    I’ve been feeling so much better since yesterday - it’s scary. I’m 12 weeks today. The nausea is definitely going away. Burping is still here though, and occasional stomach aches. There is also so much more vaginal discharge, I keep changing my panties twice a day (I really dislike liners, and they don’t absorb this kind of stuff very well). I’m still waiting for the extra energy second trimester should bring, and still sleeping 10 hours every night

  • @BusinessWife I had never seen a positive test either so I was obsessed with testing. This is what I did... haha. My husband thought I was crazy.

  • @FuzzyDust glad you are feeling better! Sorry about the discharge. I agree and hate panty liners. I would rather change my undies too. I’m waiting for the energy too. I also have to sleep 9+ hours a night. Been having to start work a little late because I can’t  get out of bed some days. Hopefully it will get better soon!

    @Holls214. Looks about right!  Lol. DH definitely already knows I'm crazy lol. But after all we've been though, who could blame a girl???

    @FuzzyDust. Thank you!!!  I am hoping so hard too!  I have just been using mostly cheapies, and I saw a line this morning, but still not super strong, so I was feeling a bit nervous.  But I was also just feeling a bit off, which I was trying to take as a good sign (except I still felt like crap and definitely didn't want to be at work lol) and now that I'm here, all day I have been burping too!  I never knew that was a pregnancy thing.  So I will get these slightly nauseous queasy waves, but not enough where I'm actually going to be sick, and then burp!  Lol. So hearing you say that about the burping is weirdly reassuring. ❤  I don't like liners either, but I found some that were all organic or something? Omg those were so much better, more of a cotton feeling on top than that gross perforated plastic stay-dry layer on the regular ones.  And they were still pretty cheap too!  Maybe look for those?

    *typo
  • @Holls214 Those are some pretty lines! I wish I had a progression picture, haha. I was out of the country for a good ten days or so, so I totally missed that window. I tested 13dpo it had what I thought was an evap line. I came back and tested 24 or 25dpo and the two lines were very obvious at the point. :)

    @BusinessWife That's amazing! I hope that squinter turns into something darker!

    FET #1 TBD  Surprise BFP 9/2017 while waiting for FET... hoping for the best!

  • Right now, tonight's tests are not all that encouraging... the cheapies all have a similar faint line, nothing super exciting.  The two evil blue dye EPTs both have a faint line, but not super clear, and the frer is like basically nothing.  Maaaaaaybe something super faint in there, but certainly not enough for me to play that game.  So ya.  Hoping for better news by Monday.... all I can to is wait and see I guess. :/  I'm 7dp5dt today.
  • @BusinessWife I think it's still early! All I had were internet cheapies and at 13dpo it looked like nothing, literally. Even my husband said it looked negative. I would trust the beta on Monday! Just three more days.

  • @Holls214 ur Little prince implanted right away your tests are ridiculous, amazing!!!

    @BusinessWife  I thought I would test at 7 DP as a friend was all gung ho and very encouraging and I was just about in tears she said she saw something that I really didn't but was still trying to be helpful.  Then 8dpt is when I had my first real squinter so try and keep that in mind and every day after I still kept testing  and some days the line was the same not darker as our HCG usually doubles every 48 hours so try and keep that in mind too it's not easy I was a basket case through all of it but those are my tips here's a photo that I took earlier on.

    The blue is an ovulation test and the pink is an hpt.
    i did the blue dye too  but it's hard to see even though it's there

  • @BusinessWife Congrats!! As you put it on the IF thread for TTGP, you're PASP.  ;) I understand not wanting to post there until after your beta. When you do, it's likely to be one of the biggest grad threads ever.
