This is a check-in for those that were active in TTGP board before moving over here. Feel free to answer the questions or just make general conversation. All TTGPers from other BMBs are welcome to participate!
What's going on this week? Baby is as y’all as the edge of a dime and officially an embryo
How far along are you? 4w1d
Upcoming appointments? Still waiting to hear back on betas. Hoping to get repeat tomorrow.
Cravings/Symptoms? Symptoms have been on and off. I have to keep reminding myself it’s still really really early and to relax. I have been tired consistently though so that’s reassuring.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Yesterday I was so stressed and busy. Ds was making me crazy and in a miserable mood all day. We are taking it a little slower today and hopefully relaxing.
What's going on this week? This has felt like the longest week ever!
How far along are you? 4 weeks today
Upcoming appointments? Going tomorrow to do confirmation at Dr to get referral to OB
Cravings/Symptoms? No cravings. Sore boobs, diarrhea, nausea, and so tired
Rants/Raves/Randoms? It feels like time is crawling by until I can get my first US.
Questions? Do I tell my mom over the phone or wait to surprise her in person when I see her in about 6 weeks? As much as I would like to surprise her that seems like so long to wait 😩
@kbrown2385 - Kids can get in annoying moods. Glad you are having a slower day today. Is DS at the age where you can just go with him outside and he'll play by himself?
@MrsJessS - These first few weeks are excruciating! I'll be 5 weeks on Saturday, and that's how far I got last time around. I also can't stand surprises, so I tell everyone in the first few days after I get a BFP.
What's going on this week? Baby's heart should begin beating this weekend!
How far along are you? 4w+5d
Upcoming appointments? Next week on Thursday
Cravings/Symptoms? No cravings, not really many symptoms. I'm still having cramps, sometimes pretty strong, and I've been kind of tired the last few days.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm missing my coworker/friend. I don't know if y'all remember my coworker who is dating my brother. She's been my coworker for 4 years and my right hand person at work. She has also become a really good friend; someone that I always told everything to. And now she's gone and moving to Virginia. I'll get to see her some during the summer, but it's going to be a long year.
Questions? Anyone have cramping? It's not really the RLP, but more just pre-AF cramping. It kind of worries me.
@marebear15 I’ve been having on and off cramping, mostly when I finally sit down and relax. Ds is at that age he can go outside and play by himself but with all the running around we did yesterday it wasn’t an option.
What's going on this week? Busy week! Mom is getting remarried over the weekend so ive been helping prep things.
How far along are you? 6w4d
Upcoming appointments? Had our first appt yesterday and officially graduated from our RE. Heard the heartbeat, strong at 120bpm! Such a magical moment.
Cravings/Symptoms? No cravings but just tired, boobs are SO heavy and random waves of nausea so far.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Anyone else feel like they cant wear pants anymore? My normal work pants are so tight (thanks bloat!) and make me nauseous since they push on my tummy. ugh.
Questions? None this week!

@kobrien827 - Whoot for a good viability scan and graduating from the RE! I think you're the first one here to hear the heartbeat. I'm cramping about every few hours I think? Maybe when I move around a lot? I haven't really paid much attention to how often or when.
@kobrien827 congrats on graduating from the RE! I stay with mine through 9 weeks while I’m on the progesterone... which I’m not complaining because I still get 2 more ultrasounds before heading to my OB Also, that’s a great heartbeat! Congrats!
I’m a TTGP drop out. So I won’t be checking in here officially.
I recognized some of you and wanted to express how happy I am you guys are here.
@marebear15, I had several exchanges with you on TFAS. I was MotherofDragons and was posting in the winter until our life got a little nutty and we backed off of trying.
