Looks like there are several of us over here now so I figured I’d start this! Other bmbs don’t have any sort of time limit (like how there’s the 3 month rule for posting in the grad thread) so I assumed that’s what we’d do here too!

What's going on this week? I have my first US tomorrow and am dying. It is all I’ve been able to focus on all week, sorry work. I think my anxiety will go down once they say everything looks ok. Other than that, I’ve had a million meetings and am very over it. Ready for the weekend. We’re going to a football game Saturday but that’s our only plan as of now so I’m hoping for some quality time with DH since we’ve been ships in the night all week. At least he’s coming to the US tomorrow!

How far along are you? 5w6d

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow ahhhh.

Cravings/Symptoms? I’ve been eating a ton of carbs but I don’t know if I’m necessarily craving them or not haha. Either way looks like I already have a small bump so I need to chill. As far as symptoms I still have sore boobs but that’s about it unless sleeplessness is also a symptom- I’m struggling 😴

Rants/Raves/Randoms? Pretty much covered all this in the “what’s going on this week”...maybe I misunderstood that question lol

Questions? For anyone who’s a STM, does this anxiety ever go away?

What's going on this week? Nothing. I’m a grad student so today’s my last day of class until after thanksgiving and I need it so so badly.

How far along are you? Between 5+2 and 4+5. I have pcos and irregular periods but was tracking O.

Upcoming appointments? December 3rd. I can not wait! I feel like I can’t breath till I see this little peanut doing ok in there.

Cravings/Symptoms? I know it’s early but I have been super nauseated every morning. My mom was hospitalized in all her pregnancies for morning sickness so I’m hoping I’m not taking after her. I also just no longer sleep. Like I fall asleep at like 9pm and then am up at 3 am.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? Just so so ready for break. Also caught my hubby reading a pregnancy book for dads last night, pretty sure my heart exploded.

Questions? Nope

@b@b_1029 I hope tomorrow’s ultrasound goes so well and you can see a haply little baby all snug and sound lol. I also have a bloat baby. I’m like there is no way I’ll be able to hide this if I get any more bloated. By the end of the day I look 4 months along lol.

@beckylookatherbump same haha I put on this dress yesterday morning with tights (which were already bad news) and was like wow, I look several months along right now. Changed that very quickly. I’m just glad it’s sweater season! I’m with you on the anxiety before the first appointment! That’s so sweet about YH 🥰 I bought mine one but we hid it when his parents were coming over and I don’t think he has picked it up since.

@b_1029 thank god for sweater season. It’s literally the easiest season to hide a bump in. Well pull that book back out. I also bought him one on supporting your wife through pregnancy lol. Hopping he can take the hint lol

Hi Friends!!

@b_1029 my eating has also gone to hell this week... I blame the stress. Lol Good luck with your US tomorrow. For me, my anxiety definitely calmed once I saw a HB and then a lot more when I could feel movement (but it was still always there in the background, just not as bad. Unless he stopped moving for a period of time).

@beckylookatherbump I hope you don’t end up with Morning sickness as bad as your mom!

What's going on this week? This week is crazy. Major restructuring at work combined with work travel combined with finding out I’m pregnant makes me a crazy person.

How far along are you? 4+2 I think based on OPKs

Upcoming appointments? Nothing scheduled yet. I had my second beta draw yesterday and they never called. Which makes me think it’s bad news 😭

Cravings/Symptoms? Nothing. Except my boobs leaked before I took a test (which is why I took the test) but nothing since.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? Mostly covered above.

Questions? Is it bad news if they haven’t given me my results from my second beta? It’s been almost 24 hours.

b_1029 · November 2019

@millpe ahhh that’s so frustrating! I know at my RE if you went in for bloodwork before 12, you’d get the results that day but if you went after, you’d get them the following day. I hope they’re just being slow AF and everything is right on track!

millpe · November 2019

Update - they sent my 2nd beta results to my portal! I went from 205 on Monday to 599 on Wednesday. So happy they doubled like they should! Now I just need to call tomorrow to schedule my first appointment and ultrasound. Her email said IN 7-8 weeks, but I’m hoping she meant for when I am 7-8 weeks.

@b_1029 Good luck today!!!
@millpe 🎉🎉🎉

millpe · November 2019

@b_1029 good luck today! Can’t wait to hear the good report

I have my first appointment scheduled 3 weeks from today!!

beckylookatherbump · November 2019

@b_1029 I’m sorry you are having so much anxiety but I hope today’s appointment is super great! Fingers crossed.

@b_1029 The anxiety never really goes away. After they are born, you still worry all the time, but about other things.

ETA: I hope your appointment was great.
