@sparklingdiamond I'm sure it will be fine. I did the same once, and my RE reassured me that it would be fine as long as I took the next dose. It sucks to worry about every little thing!
@prpl11butterfly I’m so sorry that you are having such a stressful first trimester. I am thinking about you and hoping that Friday’s appointment will bring the relief and reassurance you need. What time is your appointment?
2. Previous loss(es)? 3- 2 in the last year 1 before DD
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Emotionally feeling better than last week. Physically sick all day long.
4. Any appointment updates? 1st US Thursday. I don’t think I will fully breath until I hear that heartbeat the first time.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions?
6. Any milestones coming up? My last two didn’t make it to the 1st US so that is a big milestone. My 1st loss had no heartbeat at 9w US so it is a big milestone.
7. GTKY: What is one thing you are thankful for today? I am so thankful for DD. She gets me through my worst moments. ❤️

Sorry I haven’t been around much the last few days. The exhaustion is getting to me. I napped for two hours yesterday evening and was still able to go to bed by 10.
Next US is Thursday. I’m nervous like usual. Baby’s heart rate last time at 6+1 was 104. So I’m just hoping now at 8+3 heart rate is higher and growth is on track. I’m also hoping the two cysts they found didn’t grow at all. I definitely feel pregnant (sick to my stomach and tired) so I know more than likely the appointment won’t have bad news. I at least was smart enough to schedule it in the morning so I don’t have to wait all day long.

@prpl11butterfly I hope you're doing ok. I was happy to see that your doctor was able to provide you some reassurance.
AFM, we have our "viability" u/s today. I hate that term, but today's the day we need to see the heartbeat. Sitting at my desk almost being sick from the anxiety.
@bakerstreetboys will be thinking of you today. I also hate that term that’s what they called ours last time too. I mean, can’t they just say it’s a US? I suppose it’s for billing purposes.

@bakerstreetboys thank you. I'm doing okay. I go back and fourth with how I see this going. I'm keeping everything crossed that you have a beautiful HB in there!
@meatballs37 you dont need to apologize. We are all there with you.
Afm. Yesterdays migraine was rough. I left work early to try and get some rest before the kids got home. DH and DS (especially) were super great at taking care of me. Niece was perfectly behaved which is taking care of me in her own way. It's still hanging around but I think (hope) another round of tylenol and caffeine will put an end to it. I posted in the spotting thread yesterday morning. That seems to have subsided. They had seen the bleed in the US and while nurse assured me it was small, it was 50% of the gestational sac. Obv dr google had some things to say and that was my mistake for looking... I am trying to see this as a good thing in thinking that the bleed broke because baby grew so much that it caused it to "pop". I dont know if that's how it works.... Fri really cant come soon enough.
So logically I know that symptoms come and go, but I woke up this morning and noticed I have very little-no breast tenderness, and I'm freaking out. My symptoms started disappearing before my MMC was discovered last time, so of course in assuming the worst. I have an US on the 13th, which is so far away. I feel like I should start preparing myself for the worst now. I hate 1st tri.
@ruby696 I’m so sorry about symptoms disappearing. I know that has to be terrifying. I’ll be thinking of you and hoping that time will pass quickly for you without too much anxiety in the next week.
@ruby696 I know you are a little behind me. The same thing happened to me about a week ago and I was freaking out. My symptoms are all back now. I know it's so stressful and I'm so sorry you are feeling that you need to prepare yourself for the worst. I've felt the same way so many times this pregnancy. Big hugs

@ruby696 pgal really really sucks. We should be enjoying a break from symptoms and yet we panic. My tenderness comes and goes. Somedays its aweful and somedays have none at all. Fx that Tue comes quickly and everything proves to be going perfectly.
We saw the heart beat! So happy to have that first hurdle out of the way. Now to stress about something else...the heart rate was only 100bmp, and I'm 6w5d. From what I see online, that's low. My RE commented that it was low, didn't say anything else, and scheduled us to come back next Thursday. So of course I chewed on that the whole way home and started worrying. I called and left her a message to call me back. PGAL sucks.
@ruby696 I'm sorry that you're stressing. It's so hard not to analyze every little twinge or lack thereof. With my successful pregnancies, I definitely found that the breast tenderness would come and go. Would your doctor see you earlier just to give you peace of mind?
@bakerstreetboys hmm that’s odd. At 6+2 for our first US, our HR was only 104 and my OB said that was normal for that gestational age.

@meatballs37 That's good to hear that someone else's doctor wasn't worried. I really should stay off Google, but I'm not so good at that. I expect I won't hear back from my RE until tomorrow. She doesn't have the greatest bed side manner, so maybe "it's low" would have been "it's a bit on the low side, but I'm not worried" with another, friendlier doctor.
@bakerstreetboys I’m so glad you got to see your LO today. I’m sorry about the low heartbeat and the stress it’s causing you. PGAL brain really is the worst.
@bakerstreetboys I thought about it, but unless I'm measuring ahead and baby has a crazy high HB, it's just going to stress me out more. I'm going to try to distract myself and hope it comes back tomorrow.
@bakerstreetboys happy to hear all went well today! I’m also surprised they would say the HB was low, my RE told me they are happy with 100+ at my 6 1/2 week US.
@bakerstreetboys I’m so glad you guys saw a heartbeat! I’m sorry you’re stressed about the heart rate. PGAL brain is a stealer of joy. I’m thinking of you!
@ruby696 I’m sorry you’re stressing. I’m doing the same thing. My MS has significantly decreased the past two days so I’m convinced something is wrong. I’m with you and I’m feeling the same way. We will get through this. Check in with us tomorrow and tell us how your boobs are doing (one sentence I never thought I would ever say, lol).

I’m an idiot and POAS yesterday. Of course the line wasn’t darker than the control line like it was a few weeks ago and now I’m even more worried. I still feel like I’m having symptoms though (food aversions, slight nausea, tired). My next US is tomorrow and I wish it was today.
I absolutely HATE the first trimester when you can’t feel the baby and it just feels like you are living on a hope and a prayer.
At least in a few more weeks I will be able to break out the Doppler.
