Re: Group 3 (EDD May 15-21) Check-in w/o 9/10
Good Morning!!!
Due date/W+D: may 15/ 4w + 5
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Any appointments? Questions?: have 3rd beta today so I am praying that it is still increasing appropriately. If that goes well then I have and u/s scheduled for the 14th.
Rants/Raves?: rant: I wish this pregnancy wasn’t so full of anxiety but with dealing with IF and *tw* previous loss *tw* it’s hard to be excited. I am glad to at least be on the roller coaster and hope this pregnancy is my rainbow baby.
How are you feeling?: okay/ fatigued and have some nausea during the day on and off- especially if I haven’t eaten in awhile.
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why?
I love watching game shows!! I think right now I would pick price is right- since I have watched this one the longest.
Edited to add Tw
Baby is the size of a: poppyseed
Any Appointments: September 24th. This is my first pregnancy and it happened so fast I didn't have time to research anything but from what I understand they'll do blood tests and possibly an ultrasound? Guess I'll find out.
Rant: My MIL, whom I love dearly, has grandbaby rabies. I was sick with sinusitis this week and she was asking my husband when my period was. Because I'm usually a drinker and because she watches me like a hawk I had to sit at dinner last night with a glass of wine just touching it to my lips. I'm not ready for her to know because the moment she knows, the entire eastern seaboard will know.
How are you feeling: Its hard to tell because of the bad sinusitis I had. It's almost gone now so hopefully I can tell the difference between a pregnancy symptom and my illness soon. I have been extremely forgetful though, and messing up basic things lately (like spellings).
GTKY Game Show: I don't really know much about game shows ... Maybe Jeapordy? I love pub trivia and that's basically the same thing.
Due date/W+D: May 16th/4w4d
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed? I think? Haha
Any appointments? Questions?: I got betas pulled last week and those came back good! I am starting progesterone today, so I may have to go get that tested again this week.
Rants/Raves?:
How are you feeling?: I’m feeling cautiously optimistic at this point *TW* I had a loss in July at 7 weeks, so I feel like I won’t feel comfortable until after that point.*end TW* I have been feeling a little nauseous and pretty tired (which may just be my non sleeping toddler).
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Oooh! Wheel of Fortune! My mom and I used to watch it together every night.
Due date/W+D: may 19, 4w1d
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Any appointments? Questions?: I am going to call the doc today. I’m sure they won’t want to see me for a while yet but might as well get it on the calendar.
Rants/Raves?: none today really. My MIL is still here so while it’s great for my 2 y/o I’m ready for her to GO.
How are you feeling?: pretty good. Tired and a bit anxious but I think that’s just called pregnancy??
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? I agree @bpietronicco- price is right — also because I would definitely not win jeopardy!
i know how you feel- TW I have had two losses this past year and a half with the most recent being In February at 9 weeks. End TW. Fingers crossed that we both get our take home baby this time around!
Due date/W+D: May 21 / 3w+6d
Baby is the size of a(n): cocoa powder
Any appointments? Questions?: No appointments yet, but I will be calling my midwife sometime this week to make that first appointment.
Rants/Raves?: I am SO happy to be pregnant! After trying since February, we took the summer off for my mental health. Now that I'm back to myself (at least most of the time!), we decided to go ahead and try. Lo and behold, success! DH is so great for recognizing that I needed help and for supporting me through all the crazy hormones!
How are you feeling?: I'm feeling pretty normal... A touch of nausea here and there, some twinges in my uterus, but nothing crazy!
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Wheel of Fortune! I tend to be pretty good when we "play along" at home
Due date/W+D: May 21 - 3 weeks 6 days
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Any appointments? Questions?: Thursday I have an appointment. I'm really worried that this one isn't viable... my pee sticks aren't getting any darker since I started testing Friday...
Rants/Raves?: just that I hate being a loss mom, I wish I could just enjoy my pregnancy.
How are you feeling?: a bit depressed. No actual pregnancy symptoms.
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Probably wheel of fortune because I might actually have a shot at that one.
Due date/W+D: 5/23 / 3 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): I can't remember
Any appointments? Questions?: I have an appointment today! As I posted in my intro, this appointment was originally scheduled to discuss surgery for my endo. Thankfully, I just got the BFP yesterday! I have really short cycle lengths and I'm not sure how that plays into the EDD. So I'll be confirming that today. Also, see what she says about the bleeding ovarian cyst. Hopefully, it'll resolve on its own.
Rants/Raves?: Just really really grateful that I was able to conceive at the last minute! This was my last month we were going to try before I went back on BC to give myself a break and do surgery.
How are you feeling?: Nausea, but I honestly can't complain too much because pregnancy symptoms are a lot more better than endo symptoms. That's actually what prompted me to POAS. Usually my endo symptoms get super bad before my period but they weren't that bad this time around.
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Wheel of Fortune all the way! I do pretty well from home. Also because its the easiest game with the highest cash return.
ETA: I just realized I probably don't belong in this group. But if ya'll don't mind, I'll just stay here until my OB can give me a more solid EDD. Thank you.
Due date/W+D: 4+2 (EDD May 18)
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Any appointments? Questions?: Scheduled my 8 week appointment with a bit of back and forth with my OB as well as a blood test last Thursday (which showed I was 1-2 weeks like I thought). I O'ed on CD 35ish so according to LMP would be due late April, not mid May. I didn't go back in for a second beta, which my OB offered to order. Mistake?
Rants/Raves?: DH had been giving me grief about temping since I would take too long to get up when DD (12 1/2 months) woke up every morning. It's nice that he now gets why it was important for me to temp.
How are you feeling?: Just started getting tired the past 2-3 days. This is actually still one day earlier than my BFP for DD (4+3) and all I had then was cramps so I don't know if it's that I know what I'm looking for now or what. I also had really bad (and early) Round Ligament Pain (RLP) last time, starting at 8 weeks and it's coming on already this time. It's usually a 2nd tri issue but my round ligaments hate my uterus so... Pulling out the adorable maternity belt for any walks/runs longer than a mile already! I'm still BFing so only notice the nipple soreness with that - wouldn't have felt it otherwise.
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? I don't think I'd be great but I love Jeopardy.
Fingers extra crossed for everyone, I cant imagine how worrying it must be to be pregnant after loss. I'm so sorry you're robbed of some of that new pregnancy magic, hoping all goes well for all of you.
Due date/W+D: May 18 (4w2d)
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Any appointments? Questions?: first appointment on Wednesday with general physician. They do weight, urine sample, as a few questions. Nothing too crazy/exciting.
Rants/Raves?: Not much to rant or rave about today. Just a typical Monday.
How are you feeling?: normal so far, was a bit gaggy over some rank smells yesterday, which lead me to POAS in the first place.
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Family Fued. I'd kill it!
Size of a poppy seed
No appointments scheduled yet. Will probably call next week. I won’t be seen til 8 weeks, so no rush.
No no rants or raves this week.
Feeling? Sore boobs. Even rolling over when I’m sleeping hurts. Tired, but not sure if that is pregnancy related or just night shift and two toddlers..... Other than that, I feel great.
Game show? I don’t really watch them, or any regular tv for that matter (just Netflix). But always enjoyed price is right. But I would be too terrified and nervous in front of that many people.
Size of a poppy seed
My first appt is 10/8. Trying to be patient! My first son was our rainbow baby so we had betas and a 6w ultrasound. Our daughter was our surprise and we did betas and baby #3 i’m just praying all is well.
Feeling great! Not sure if I should be feeling more. Still seems early for nausea and fatigue. Sore boobs from the day I took the test.
Game show? Not a big game show fan but maybe wheel of fortune?!
Size of a black peppercorn
I had my first appt yesterday 9/11. It went great- we set my next for 9/25. Hopefully we will see the baby!
Feeling pretty lousy. I have had a sinus infection and so much nausea.
I'm not a game show person. We actually don't own a TV so idk!
Due date/W+D: May 15, 5 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed
Any appointments? Questions?: I have an appointment scheduled in the beginning of October where I’ll get an ultrasound!
Rants/Raves?: none
How are you feeling?: so, so tired
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Probably the price is right! I watched it all the time when I was little with my grandmother!
Due date/W+D: May 15 - 5 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed
Any appointments? Questions?: My first ultrasound is September 26 and I am VERY anxious but excited. I have also scheduled a 4th beta on the 14th to calm my anxiety.
Rants/Raves?: Nope.
How are you feeling?: Fatigue on and off. I had heartburn a lot last week but it seems to be a little better this week. Headaches and dizziness off and on.
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Wheel of Fortune!
Pregnancy #2 Natural Miscarriage at 6 weeks 03/2014 Due date 11/9/2014

Pregnancy #4 Missed Miscarriage at 11 weeks 11/2018 Due date 5/22/2019

Due date/W+D: May 21, so 4wks/3days according to Ovia
Baby is the size of a(n): Poppyseed
Any appointments? Questions?: No, my OB/GYN office is apparently closed on Fridays so I didn't get to make an appt today.
Rants/Raves?: Not looking forward to being tired and bloating.
How are you feeling?: No symptoms yet.
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Don't really know what's on these days?
AFM I had my u/s today (5wks 2 days) and the gestational sac is in the right place and they could even see the start of the yolk sac. Next ultrasound is on the 24th where we should see the heart beat.
Due date/W+D: May 21st / 4w3d
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Any appointments? Questions?: None yet... when did everyone call their doctor to schedule their first appt?
Rants/Raves?: My rant is the reason why I haven't called the doctor yet. *TW I've had 3 CP since TTC this past December. Each time I basically felt like a complete idiot because the doctor asked why I was even taking a pregnancy test because it was too early (while I do test early... I was actually around 4 days late the day of my CP/when I went to visit the dr. so it didn't seem too crazy to admit I was testing. So I'm scared to call the doctor and deal with the same level of ridicule at this stage. end TW
I used to live in CT and I would change doctors if I still lived there, but in Hawaii there is a shortage of doctors and just to get an appointment for a new doctor is about a year long wait list (when I first moved and wasn't ready for a second kid yet I ended up at planned parenthood to get birth control because no doctor would see me for over a year).
How are you feeling?: My boobs are really sore. As in DD accidentally hit them yesterday and owwww the pain. But I'm so scared of this pregnancy not being viable that I want all the symptoms, bring on the nausea please!!!
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Family Feud. I bought a daily calendar Family Feud for one of my coworkers one year for Christmas and we ended up using it to play Family Feud every day. I wasn't that good but it was a lot of fun.
Due date/W+D: 5/15/19, 5 weeks + 4 days today.
Baby is the size of a(n): appleseed, pencil eraser.
Any appointments? Questions?: I just got the results of my 3rd beta HcG all of them doubled! I'm scheduled for an US tomorrow. I had one a week ago but baby was too small to find (I was only 4 weeks then).
Rants/Raves?: We made a last minute trip to the beach yesterday and the weather was great minus the winds from hurricane Florence. Probably the last time at the beach while still looking good in a bikini
How are you feeling?: I had early spotting after my BFP so that's why I had so many appts and tests done already. Sore boobs since 1 day prior to BFP, some pain in my lower back, and somehow every time I want to stretch I end up feeling like I've strained my abdomen which is the most annoying symptom so far. No nausea so far.
Gameshow, which one would it be and why? Supermarket sweep because there's just something fun about running through grocery store isles like a madwoman grabbing everything in sight.
I've kind of wondered "oh is this a symptom" since I found out but the last few days have been VERY clear.
@amc772 I used to love watching supermarket sweep!
Due date/W+D: Due 5/18, 5w1d
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Any appointments? Questions?: No appts yet. Contacted my dr in hopes of being able to set up Hcg and progesterone blood draws.
Rants/Raves?: We just moved to a new state two months ago and I haven’t met my dr yet. I’m really hoping with my history (6th pregnancy, 4 losses) he doesn’t f around and just does the stuff I ask to keep me slightly sane during this.
How are you feeling?: Good so far. Had no idea I was pregnant except for sore nipples and some cramping.
GTKY - If you could be on a gameshow, which one would it be and why? Wheel of fortune! Dh and I watch it every night along with Jeopardy...and I’m not smart enough for jeopardy lol.
