The closer I get to my u/s, the more anxiety I feel creeping in. My MMC was confirmed during my first appointment u/s for my Jan17 pregnancy. The office only has one u/s room, so it'll be the same room and potentially the same tech. I'm trying to take comfort in the fact that I have a ton and symptoms and a really good feeling about this one, but it's hard sometimes.
I had my first sonogram last week! I measure three days behind but I was able to see and hear the see the heartbeat. With my mmc with my Jan17 pregnancy I was measuring 1 week behind at my first ultrasound. That time I didn't get to hear the heartbeat and barely saw it. When I went back the heart beat had stopped. I'm hoping history isn't repeating itself. I'm cautiously optimistic my OB gave me my prenatal packet and confirmed me as a prenatal patient which he didn't do last time.

Ugh, panicked this morning. First, endometrin suppositories are gross. They are so messy and I end up with a leaky vag all day. Well for whatever reason, I had a rough time getting it in this morning and then 10 minutes later I had some light pink spotting. I panicked and then realized that I probably just scraped myself with the applicator. Not really what I needed today!
I have my moments, but I just have such a different feeling about this pregnancy. It's a great thing.
The morning/all day sickness is awful. My diclegis helps, but it's so freaking expensive that I feel guilty taking it. H says to just keep taking it and not to worry, but I feel bad. I'm so looking forward to second tri.

I'm 5 weeks today. Still way to early to feel comfortable... so pee sticks are still happening.
No real symptoms yet except the sore boobs finally started. With my first, food aversions didn't start till 7 weeks so that's helping me feel ok about symptoms.
However I found out someone we don't get along with real great... but can not avoid... is pregnant. It's already in my head that if I lose this one, it'll hurt even worse now.

Hugs all around. PaIF is no joke. I feel like I can't enjoy this time because it won't last. I've waited so long to get pregnant and I feel robbed of the joy.
I hope after my first ultrasound on Wed, I'll get into a better head space. I'll be 5w4d.

Spotting this weekend really had me scared yesterday...there were a lot of tears. But I have to remember to put it into perspective. It was old blood and not accompanied by any cramping, so I have to remember that its normal.
Looking forward to my appointment on Friday and hoping to see that baby is continuing to grow.
Does anyone have/plan on having an at-home doppler?
I've heard so many bad things about them, so I don't think so. I've just heard that they're really hard to get an accurate reading and are meant to be used by trained professionals, so you could be worrying yourself for nothing if you can't find a heartbeat.

I'm nervous. With my mmc, I didn't find out until our first US at 9 weeks. With DD, I was under a RE, so I had weekly US which really helped with my PGAL brain. This time I'm just an OB patient so I have to wait again until 8.5 weeks. I had MS with my MMC as well, so although it's reassuring to be sick right now, it doesn't mean too much in my mind.
It's hard because I want to buy some things on sale (like I found a dbl stroller for $100 from a local mom), but I don't want to just store that for longer if this pregnancy isn't viable.

I'm having serious pgal brain today. I miscarried at 6 and a half weeks last time and that's only a week away. For some reason that's making me feel super nervous to think about.

((Hugs)) hitting those milestones is so hard. I know after I passed them I felt so much better.

I'm finding myself terrified and completely consumed with thoughts of another MMC. One of the hardest things about losing Emmett was that I didn't know it happened. It could have happened again or could be happening again and I would have no idea...

Sending hugs. Hope this week speeds up and all goes well at your apt.
I stupidly googled something about my crazy cycle I got pregnant during... not smart. 😩 I know better than to google!! Now I'm all worried my egg and lining weren't 'good' anymore cause I seriously was surging for almost 2 wks straight and ovulated so late.
Atleast I have an ultrasound on Friday. Super early and won't see much but maybe it'll help. Fingers crossed.

So DH and I are fighting.
Tonight his friends invited him on this golf trip to Florida in 2 weeks. His Dad lives in Florida too. He asks me tonight if it's ok for him to go.
Now, both of my losses happened when he was out of town. So I told him that it would cause me alot of anxiety. So he tells me that him going will not change the outcome of this pregnancy. I asked him when he had to make a decision and he said tonight. So I said I don't know what to say. He gets angry and yells "you don't know what to say about me going to see my Dad?!" then storms out of the room.
Wtf. Why bother asking me. The rational part of my brain knows he's right but it doesn't change the way I feel. He just doesn't need to be such a dick about it. Or maybe I'm being a dick. I don't know. Pgal brain sucks.

I'm so sorry. I know it's so hard when they can't understand. But that's just it. They can't. Lots of hugs. Is there any way you can tag along?

((Hugs)) to all of those having anxiety with triggers and milestones.
I'm right there with you. I'm having a really hard time this week. It's proving harder to not have early US than I thought. I went down a rabbit hole yesterday. With my MMC, my US was on a Friday. I never fathomed I could get bad news, so I was devastated, blindsided, and forced to make the natural, pill, or d&c decision so quick. I opted for the pill because I didn't want to wait all weekend being pregnant but not. It didn't work completely and after another try, I ended up with the d&c 11 days later. I always thought I would opt for the d&c right away. Well I started to envision the bad scenario to prepare myself because my nausea wasn't bad yesterday and it made me really upset. My appt is on Friday the 17th (I'm superstitious with my loss and this freaks me out again) and I leave for my Xmas trip on the 21st. If I get bad news could I even get the surgery before going home? Am I going to have to endure miscarrying while traveling and over Christmas instead of making an announcement? Would I try the pill and have the surgery after I'm back? I don't have much Pto. I'm just not in a good place right now.
