Ticker change simply means that you have started a new week of pregnancy. For example, I go from 11 weeks to 12 weeks on Friday 3/30, so my “ticker” changes on Fridays. It is our way of marking a milestone.
Questions stolen from Sunday.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
2. How are you feeling?
3. Any appointments this week?
4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?

4. Rants/raves/questions?
i am normally super nonconfrontational (to a fault) but when i am pregnant that goes out the window. for the most part it is entertaining for my friends (and for me sometimes) to see what i normally keep in my head, but in certain situations (work, mostly...and also social media, but that is basically just here and instagram for me) i have to really work to keep that filter working at least a little.

Just because the rude doctor says everything is normal, doesn't mean it is.
Married since 2010, TTC since Dec 2013
Dx: PCOS
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 11 weeks & lime
2. How are you feeling? Today I'm doing better. The rest of this week was awful, I've got a cold or something and had a fever on and off for like 2 days so I went to the doctor and they were like we can't help you it's a cold...
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, next week!
4. Rants/raves/questions? I've been MIA here for like a month. I intro'd and stated participating mid-Feb and then went on vacation and kinda lost track of things. I thought this would be a good thread to start participating again!
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? Oh man, this is so hard! Is it bad if I can't think of any?!? Things haven't always been easy but everything that's happened has helped shape me into who I am now and I like that.
How are you feeling? The past two days my stomach has hurt im not nauseous just pain and I'm tired from running around all week. Overall im feeling pretty good though I wasn't starving last night so thats good.
Any appointments this week? Next Thursday
Rants/Raves/Questions? Last pregnancy I had a different app and it updated me on the day that I turned a different week now this app updates me everyday. I dont feel like its necessary to tell me every day but I like the articles so ill keep it.
GTKY: If you could give advice to your 18 year old self what would it be? That boy doesnt matter to you why would you drop out of college and spend all your money and time on him. He isnt worth anything and will never be anything in his life. Be more independent and not depend on someone for happiness. Be happy and save your money you'll need it in 2 years..

Terrible. I’ve spent my whole spring break trying to get over a cold (teacher). Plus I’m in the finishing stages of my Thesis for my masters, so stress levels are really high.
3. Any appointments this week?
Just got back from my “tummy check” appt. took awhile but she found a heartbeat. Longest minute of my life!

5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Don’t waste your time as a psychology major, go straight to elementary education (you’re going to switch in a year anyways, save yourself the stress).
Crazy.
Switching from physics? That’s a pretty big leap!
I'm now in HR, although I originally planned to go into research.
@sammierose464 - another reformed Physics major here- I kept sane with a double major in English. I’m now in Risk Management.
/ Back to lurking from Wednesday. /
I kept my strong interest of research and stats, but don't get to do too much with it.
I try to balance my love of words and my love of numbers. Sometimes that works better than others. I miss playing in the lab though...
