What's going on this week? The usual, yall. Still broke AF, though bringing in some $ selling art stuff to friends on the internet. Yay friends, yay internet. Also, lol, my mom is a co-signer on one of my student loans that I was told when I called earlier this month I could pause payments on til Sept.--um, not true lol, as I got a bill today for the missed and upcoming payments. Anyway, she helped me put it on forbearance and then we were chatting and she was being all vague trying to ask me a question and she was ultimately like, "well, you said you thought you were pregnant, how's that going?" and I was like, "Mom. I'm pregnant. I didn't *think* I was pregnant." lol. She's just being over-cautious bc of what happened last time but seriously SMH.

How far along are you? 5w5d

Upcoming appointments? 1 week from today!! At 1pm.

Cravings/Symptoms? I have been feeling nauseated like--briefly once a day? Which I am excited about? But also, I'm like Bring It On, Symptoms.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? DH is having like the worst week ever, but he DID start taking his Zoloft again. I was like You Cannot Stop Taking It Cold Turkey Again If You Start Again bc... wow that's like super bad for you and he KNOWS better. I know it's not a magical cure-all to his depression and will take 1-2 weeks to set in, but he was so much better mood-wise when he was on it earlier this year. I've been missing our TTGP friends, but glad I am able to keep up with some of them lurking and others in other ways like PM.

Questions? No questions, just thanks to @puppylove8910 for starting this thread!

Hi @kagesstarshroom! This thread will hopefully become my favorite because it's so hard to keep up with all the TTGP ladies in here since we're due at different times. I bet you're so excited for your upcoming appointment! I hope it goes well for you. I'm sorry to hear that things are sucking financially still, but I hope that turns around for you soon. And I'm glad to hear that your DH is back on his meds!

What's going on this week? My DS has a summer cold virus which is such a bummer. Being sick in the heat is the worst! Hopefully, he's on the mend soon.

How far along are you? 4+6

Upcoming appointments? First appointment is 8/12! I'll *hopefully* be 7+3.

Cravings/Symptoms? No real cravings. I remember that hitting around the 2nd trimester. My symptoms are manageable and I usually feel the most pregnant later in the evening. I have sore boobs, minor cramping and heavy ute feeling. I get tired more easily too, but I'm keeping up with my workouts which is helping! I'm still peeing on sticks and will probably continue to do so until my first u/s because PGAL brain is REAL.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I have acupuncture today which I'm looking forward to! I'll continue going 1x/week until my first appointment and then will start going 1x/2 weeks. Feeling happy, but taking each day one at a time. I look forward to Fridays now because that's when my pregnancy weeks change over. Looking forward to hitting week 5 tomorrow! FX.

Questions? Nope!

@puppylove8910 Yes! It's nice to have everyone all in one place.

I feel like my $ woes wouldn't be so bad if DH & I also weren't depressed for our own reasons? But... we are... Anyway, summer sick is The Worst. PGAL brain is real but we all deal with it different ways-- I peed on 4 sticks and then was like okay stop! And I almost wish my appointment were later (I'll be *almost* 7w when I go in) but at the same time am not sure if I could wait a second later.

Thanks for starting this @puppylove8910!

What's going on this week? Not much this week, but next week will be crazy because I have a haircut, first u/s appointment, and DS's 15 month check up. Wouldn't be that big of a deal except I have to drive 50-70 minutes to get to each respective appointment. At least they're *fingers crossed* fun appointments!

How far along are you? 7 weeks today

Upcoming appointments? Whoops kinda already covered this - first u/s on July 31

Cravings/Symptoms? feel like I'm constantly hungover. A little less nausea today, but that might be because I took extra B12 yesterday. Oh and had my first RLP last night when I coughed in bed.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I just hope us TTGP grads can keep this BMB fun and interesting

I'm totally jumping ship if this turns into BC 2.0 or if honesty starts getting checked at the door!

Questions? Nah

____________

@puppylove8910 I look forward to Fridays too

And i'm impressed that you've kept up with your workouts!

@kagesstarshroom my symptoms ramped up at about 6 weeks, so FX that's the case for you! And I've been on Zoloft since I was 17 and yeah..... DEFINITELY not a good idea to stop cold turkey. I'm glad DH is back on it!
