TW: pregnancy mentioned

in TTC after 35
Today we heard the heartbeat! I should be 6 weeks 4 days but am measuring 6&2. Hb is 121 and the nurse said anything over 100 is good!

I want to thank those who have lifted me up, grieved with me, been angry with me, and celebrated with me the last 2-1/2 years. This is an incredible community and I am so thankful for everyone. I will be leaving TTC After 35 at this point, thought I would never graduate and am still in disbelief, but will look forward to lurking to see your successes in the coming months.

    YAY! That is absolutely fantastic news.

    This means we now need a grad check-in thread. My u/s is tomorrow, I'll be 7w4d. I'm super anxious but also resigned to the fact that I've done all I could so far and it's out of my hands.

    @marijaa333 love the idea for a grad check in! How exciting about your ultrasound today! So you’re about a week further than I am, how are you feeling? For me the dizzy/lightheadedness and nausea are the worst.

    Yes, exactly a week then! I'm 7w4d today according to my calculation, 7w1d according to the OB's measurements, but she said anything within 5 days at this stage is expected. The U/S went fine, and I feel much relieved. Heartbeat was 140.
    I feel pretty crappy - nausea and exhaustion that seem to still be increasing. They started in earnest at the end of week 5 and so far I've been consistently wiped and queasy, although eating VERY frequently helps.
    How are you feeling?

    @marijaa333 I feel the exact same as you except my symptoms of nausea started at 3-1/2 weeks like with DD. Eating frequently has helped though I’m down 3lbs so far and a long way to go. I also get dizzy vertigo feeling esp when I turn my head or move my head from down to up.

    @Momifbysea I get the dizziness every once in a while too. I'm just taking it one day and a time and remembering how grateful I am to have come this far.

    Thanks @PoeMasque. I can’t count the times you kept me going over the last couple years. This is still surreal, not sure when I’ll really “believe it” if that makes sense.

    @Momifbysea so glad I could lend some support :) I completely know what you mean by not believing it yet, just wait until none of your pants fit and you’re feeling little flutters - should be soon!
