PGAL 1/4

in September 2021 Moms

This is a check in for those of us who are experiencing pregnancy after a loss (miscarriage, chemical pregnancy, stillbirth, child loss, to name a few). Hopefully we can all lend support to each other through the hormone filled craziness that is pregnancy!

Just a reminder: there is a general loss trigger warning on this entire thread. 

1. How far along are you? Any milestones?  

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?

4. When is your next appointment? 

5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)

    1. How far along are you? Any milestones?  3w5d; I’m right at the point where I realized something wasn’t right last time. My tests from yesterday are darker than the day before so that’s reassuring. Tomorrow is my first milestone. It is affecting me some. I’m analyzing everything and I wish I could just stop. 

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? My symptoms cone and go in waves very sporadically. I kinda wish they would stay so I could feel pregnant. I think the bloat is finally kicking in. 

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? A little anxious today but everything is progressing normally. I have no reason to think anything is going to happen. 

    4. When is your next appointment? Feb 18th; When I asked about an US they said I would get one in the room during my appointment with a bedside US machine. I told them that wasn’t good enough for me. I need a better quality US with my history. I need to know if there are any SCH, how big they are, and where they are located. A bedside US machine isn’t going to tell me any of that. 

    5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)  my rants are above 😆

    1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 5w6d  

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? The nausea is kicking my ass right now. 

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Awful. It’s overwhelming. 

    4. When is your next appointment? Jan.21 is my first appointment. I’m very anxious for it. 

    5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): I get acid reflux normally and have been on a medication for it for over a decade. But the medication is Class C, so I stopped taking it. Omg I am f-ing miserable without it. It doesn’t matter what I eat, or don’t eat, I am in immense amounts of pain vomiting stomach acid. The replacement med that my general practitioner told me to take does nothing for me and OB doesn’t want to see me for 16 more days. How the hell am I supposed to 16 more days like this? It triggers hormonal rage lol

    1. How far along are you? Any milestones?  5w4d.  I have officially made it past when my chemical pregnancy ended

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Tired and uncomfortable. My ovaries are swollen so it make things very uncomfortable. 

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I almost feel numb.  We found out both our embryos implantated and while I'm excited I just can't let myself get to excited. There's just so much that can happen yet.

    4. When is your next appointment? Probably next week.  The fertility clinic will contact me tomorrow. 

    5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)  I know I have a long way to go, but I'm just so tired of being sore/uncomfortable. Between the UTI and endo flare last week and the swollen ovaries the past few days it's like I can't get any relief from pain.

    @JustAnotherUsername16 That sounds miserable. I’m sorry you’re going through that. 

    @Centralmnmom That’s exciting that both embryos implanted. I‘m sorry you’re so uncomfortable.

    1. How far along are you? Any milestones?  4w5d

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?  Boobs are sore in the evenings. Bloat is real. And my appetite has been low, no nausea I’m just not really getting hungry.

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?  Calm right now most of the time, but I expect my anxiety to increase as I get closer to my first u/s.

    4. When is your next appointment? I had a confirmation appt on Monday and my OB prescribed progesterone, it’s my first night using that so we will see how I feel in the coming days. I need to schedule my next appt for about 2 weeks from now when we will do a dating/viability u/s. 

    5. Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here)  I was going through testing this fall to see if we could determine why I was having reoccurring miscarriages but everything came back normal which was so frustrating. I really really hope this progesterone will get me through the first tri and give us our rainbow baby.

    @cheers28 I was just put on progesterone too. Mostly for possible SCH. It has been shown to help them heal if they are present. Hopefully the progesterone does a great job for you and you glide right through first trimester.

    @cheers28 they were never able to determine a cause behind my miscarriages either - it’s so frustrating. I’m praying hard that the progesterone does good things for you!!!

    @JustAnotherUsername16 - No answers are the worst! Like I didn't want to be diagnosed with something but at the same time that would have at least given us a clearer path moving forward.

    1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 5w5d

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? My boobs are SO sore, nausea comes and goes and I'm super hungry like all the time. Is that even a pregnancy thing? 

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Like crap. I check my heart rate all the time because I read something about it being higher when your pregnant and I have to stop myself from testing everyday

    4. When is your next appointment? January 27th for my 8 week check up

    @knottie I wear my Fitbit and it tracks my RHR. It’s pretty cool how it goes up with my BBT right after ovulation. 

    Yesterday was my first milestone. It’s the DPO my bleeding started last cycle for my CP. I had some spotting earlier this week but it was brown and old and was just there once. I think I went to the bathroom twice as much as was necessary that day because I was so scared it was continuing. I haven’t seen any signs of it again. I’m thinking it may have been some implantation bleeding.

    Mine dropped today but my temp went down a little too so I wasn’t surprised. I’m not worried too much about my temp drop because all my pregnancy charts go up and down plus I’m on progesterone so it wouldn’t drop naturally right now.
