Just a reminder: there is a general loss trigger warning on this entire thread.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
4. When is your next appointment?
5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)
6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants?
Re: PGAL (Pregnant After Loss) Check In, 12/10
2- tired, nausea if I’m up moving around, and cramping in/off while walking. Bloated beyond belief- broke out maternity clothes.
3- stressing and worrying.
4- Friday for sono then OB
5- hate having to change wound dressings for patients when I just want to barf on them while doing so.
6- restaurant paid for! I don’t travel much and can stand coach
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? - 8w4d, I lost my first pregnancy at 7w on Dec 10 2015 so getting through today is big for me mentally.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) - the same, occasionally nauseous, always bloated and tired. Called in sick to work tonight (I worked Fri night and it was awful, plus I only got 3h sleep post shift and then only 5h last night because the boys had a restless night)
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) - still pretty good, very anxious for my ultrasound to get here. If we see a heartbeat again at that one, I will feel a million times more secure. My first ultrasound said "low heart rate of 93bpm" but the same thing happened with one of my twins, plus my uterus is so retroverted I had to hold my breath while the tech dug around with the TV wand to get a measurement because she couldn't see otherwise.
4. When is your next appointment? - ultrasound on the 19th
5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here) -
6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants? - unlimited first class! I'd pay for all the food if I could go anywhere I wanted comfortably for sure!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 10w2d
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Still awful..constant nausea, exhaustion, and I still hate food.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Pretty anxious. I got the go ahead to stop taking my estrace and progesterone shots...which should be a good thing, but I'm freaking out thinking its too early. I would just keep doing them, but as far as I know all of the pharmacies in the U.S. are out of progesterone in oil (how does that even happen?!?), so I don't have much of a choice at this point.
4. When is your next appointment? 12/21-12 week OB appointment

6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants? That's a hard one, but probably free restaurant food. We don't travel a ton and coach is usually bearable.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 7wks 4days. My first loss was at 11 wks and my second was at 5.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) My symptoms were really waning. My midwives suggested I see an OBGYN as well, as a backup, so I had an appointment on Friday. Neither the OBGYN nor my midwives seemed too concerned about my lack of symptoms, but I was prescribed oral Progesterone supplements anyway. I've been taking them for a couple of days and damn, luckily it's the weekend because I am freaking fatigued. Ain't nothing I can do but lie in bed. These extra hormones are kicking my butt, but hopefully they're helping. I don't look forward to going to work tomorrow!
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) It's hard to say. I'm still super up and down. Super confident one minute and super worried about losing it the next.
4. When is your next appointment? I have an ultrasound and my next midwife appointment on Jan 2nd.

6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants? I've never flown first class, but LOVE the idea of traveling as much as I want. And I am pretty certain I would enjoy some first class leg room too!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
8+6
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Not not many symptoms. Occasional nausea (no vomit), occasional sore boobs, bloat, acne and fatigue. I didn’t have many symptoms with #1 they were actually more mild.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
i hope I’m measuring right. I’ve been measuring a week behind but could just be due to late ovulation. Hope SCH has passed.
4. When is your next appointment?
Tomorrow morning for viability and dating.
5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)
It bothers me that my SIL never said congratulations to us when we told them. It’s gonna be weird when they come over for a week in Jan.
6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants?
Never pay at restaurants!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
8 +3
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Still sooo so tired. I seem to be able to only stomach carbs, which makes me feel unhealthy. So glad @elizabethrn87 said she broke out maternity clothes. My clothing is tight already and thought it was more what I am eating but now I am thinking it is more the pregnancy.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
The baby had a strong heartbeat this past Wednesday so I feel a little better. I did have a loss at 11 weeks, so I will not feel relief until my 12 week appt.
4. When is your next appointment?
First week in January.
5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)
I am still fighting a cold. I am scheduled to fly out for business tomorrow and thinking about seeing if I can cancel. I will be back on Wednesday but I know I won’t sleep well in the hotel.
6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants?
never pay for food in restaurants! With all of the money I save there, I am sure I could afford a few first class tickets.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
7w 5d, past my last miscarriage date which is good.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
sore boobs, more like nipples, are still hanging around. Acne is a wonderful symptom that I havent had before. Still tired. Nausea has been few and far between but I also didnt have it with either of my boys.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Anxiety is pretty high tonight. I go for another blood draw to check hcg levels tomorroaw before work and then have an ultrasoind at 330. My last ultrasound was at 6w 1d but all they saw was an empty sac that measured 5w 4d. Ive been a nervous wreck since then.
4. When is your next appointment?
see above lol

6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants?
unlimited first class travel ticket. I have always wanted to see the world so that would be amazing!
BFP 2/2016 M/C 3/2016 @ 5 weeks
Trying for #4 since 11/2015
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 7+4. This Saturday is the day I gave birth, Friday is the day I was induced. So some rough ones coming up for me. This is my first so maybe it won't be rough. Who knows?
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) Not awesome. Nauseous, food aversions, and a complete aversion to COFFEE, I am still up at 5:30 and cannot bring myself to go near the coffee, just made it for DH and I am having ginger tea. If I don't eat, I feel sick, while I am eating I feel fine, but as I start to finish eating I feel sick again. RLP when I get up to quick. Hip pain after sleeping. I am a barrel of fun! lol.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) Ok. I do have a little bit more anxiety towards life, and spiraling is way easier. When I get upset at something I find it way easier to keep imagining the worst case scenario whereas pre-pregnancy I was way better at stopping that. As far as loss anxiety...I'm ok. I have so far been able to stick to the mantra that I can literally do nothing about not getting an ultrasound, I can't hear the heart beat yet, I just gotta wait, and if something has happened I have made it through worse, and I'll make it through this. We'll see how long I can keep it going.
4. When is your next appointment? 12/28, I'll be 10 weeks. I am mourning the loss of my old birth center. I am not even going to the appointment at the big hospital, I was so disappointed in how not like my old birth center this new birth center was that I think I will hate the hospital.
5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): Nothing today!
6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants? Restaurants. I love to eat (usually)!
@comealongponds hugs to you! But an anniversary past! Yay.
@elizabethrn87 @chaser61 I am living in maternity pants and leggings! Nothing wrong with that.
@mhaack92 that progesterone thing sounds so frustrating! Hope you feel better soon, I'm with you on feeling awful!
@DynamiteTrujillo I hope you can make it through being so tired at work today, or that it subsides!
@wildtot hope your appt goes well tomorrow and your SCH is resolved!
@busymommy23 I hope they see what they need to and your ultrasound goes well!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
11 weeks today! Made it through my 10w4d milestone on Friday
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Waning, which is a good thing.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Getting less and less. It is what it is, I cannot control it, so I just have to wait and see!
4. When is your next appointment?
TODAY! and U/S on Thursday
5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)
Meh, nothing really here.
6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants?
Do I have to pay for the vaca itself if I have the free ticket? LOL! If so, then I'll take the restaurants!

5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)
I'm just annoyed I'm not showing, I just look fat. I haven't gained a pound but I look heavier, like my uterus is pushing up all my guts and making me perpetually bloated.
6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants?
I think I'd pick restaurants.. and then travel coach for all of my trips with free food!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
I will be 8 weeks tomorrow.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Finally having some symptoms, which is reassuring. Serious nausea started this weekend, and I now like to go to bed at 9 pm...usually I got to bed at 11:30, lol.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Better than last week since I finally got some symptoms. Still anxious though. Will feel better after my appointment hopefully!
4. When is your next appointment?
Tomorrow!
5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)
My husband complained all weekend about how tired he was. He got plenty of sleep...not sure what is so tiring to him.
6. GTKY: (I'm stealing all the ones I remember from TTGP. So sorry for the repeats grads! lol): Would you rather have an unlimited first class travel ticket or never pay for food at restaurants?
OMG the travel for sure. We love to travel, and flights get so expensive, especially now that we have a kid that is no longer a lap child.
