Welcome to the PAIF 1st tri check-in.

1. Your EDD
2. How many, if you know, beans you have cooking.
3. What treatment got you your BFP

For everyone else:
1. How far are you now?
2. Symptom check:

4. Anything you’d like to share with the group?

For the amazing ladies heading from here to second tri, congratulations! Please tag me in your last post and I'll remove you from the roster. Have fun!

First trimester can be a very nerve-wracking time and even though spotting can be quite common, it doesn't help the nerves!

1. How far are you now? 13w4d
2. Symptom check: The headaches are rough. Started a few days ago, and I thought it was connected to my lack of water. Today, I woke up with one, drank a lot through the day, and only felt better after taking Tylenol (which was home rather than in my purse).
3. What and when is your next appointment? OB next week - just a monthly appointment. Big ones are in December with the high risk doc.
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? We should get our cell-free DNA results back this week! I'm looking forward to finding out the sex. I'm moving on to 2nd tri next week, so good luck to all of you!!

QOTW: My guilty pleasure is rap. Specifically popular rap, so I've been listening to a lot of Lil Yachty, Future, and Rae Sremmurd lately.

4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? We are having twins! I am totally shocked. I keep telling myself I am pregnant today and love these babies. I have the gender but we are going to wait. PgAL brain is totally real. I am so scared.

Congratulations on twins!! IF brain is still going strong for me, so I can only imagine how you feel. Today you're pregnant with twins and that's awesome.

@katerli, congrats on the twins! Glad your SCH is getting smaller and FX it keeps getting smaller.

1. How far are you now? 9w4d

2. Symptom check: sore boobs started and holy cow! I have DH massage them daily and it is the least sexual thing ever but it just feels so good! Still nausea when I don't eat and general crappiness around 4pm

3. What and when is your next appointment? Regular OB on Wednesday! Yay for being a "normal" pregnant woman!

4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I just can't believe I'm almost to double digit weeks. The weeks seem to go by quickly even though I also feel like I am counting the days.

@katerli congrats on the twins! Two for the price of one! Did you transfer 2 embryos?

1. How far are you now? 11weeks
2. Symptom check: The heartburn and vomiting this weekend was really bad. I started to get dehydrated and then my headaches started. My skin is also super DRY!
3. What and when is your next appointment? I went to one of those 3D ultrasound places to check on our jellybean on Friday. $35 was worth my piece of mind. We saw the baby moving her arms! My next obgyn and genetics appointments are on 11/22. Then MFM appointment is on 12/1.
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I'm so excited to be pregnant!

QOTW: river DH and I love the Lil Yachty Brocoli song. DH loves when I dance to it! I love watch reality tv. Right now I'm watching 90 day fiancé.

[fightersince83]

How far along? 13 wks 1day
Symptoms: achy, tired, nausea
Next appt: MFM 12/1
Anything to share: I got my flu shot today. I have to call a couple companies about the NIPT test to see if insurance will cover it. They did last time but apparently the companies changed their billing now so I have to see.
QOTW: my guilty pleasure TV show is Married at First Sight. Someone on one of these boards had talked about it and I DVR'd it because it sounded so nuts and now I'm hooked.

[fightersince83]

river I just realized this is our last post in 1st tri. Wow!

[airbear916]

Congrats river, and fightersince83, on heading into your second trimester!

@katerli,- So exciting! Congrats on your twins!

1. How far are you now? 12 weeks
2. Symptom check:Still having nausea and migraines.
3. What and when is your next appointment? Appointment with the OB on the 23rd
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? We got our genetic testing blood work back on Friday. All was normal and we found out we're having a girl! Today we had our NT scan. It was sooooo awesome! They said everything looked great. She was moving all around and crossing her legs. She flipped positions a lot and was very active. My hubby and I are even more excited now. Definitely makes it seem so much more real. The blood clot in my uterus is gone too but they did say I have cysts on both my ovaries but they should resolve on their own.

My guilty pleasure is definitely reality TV. fightersince83, I also love Married at First Sight!

[fightersince83]

airbear916 I'm glad I'm not alone on that one. DH thinks it's so ridiculous but then he asks me to fill him in on the drama after so he's at least a little interested 😂

[fightersince83]

river have you lined anyone up to take over the check in since we're outta here next week? I still can't believe it
