Check-in thread 3/4-3/10

[bethkate]

Hi! I figure we can do some board-wide weekly check-ins until there are more people weekly ticker change threads start to make sense. 


How far along are you at this point?

How are you feeling?

Any appointments this week?

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet?

[bethkate]

Miss Killjoy, I hear you about the weather. It's freezing here today too!

How far along are you at this point? 5 weeks (or 5w3d based on LMP)

How are you feeling? Eh. Mildly crampy and kind of nauseated. I started with some really light brown spotting yesterday, so that's worrying me.

Any appointments this week? My third round of betas are scheduled for Monday morning.

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet? It was last week! Last Saturday it got close to 75F, but today it's not supposed to get above 20.

[bethkate]

Miss Killjoy, yeah, that's what I'm hoping too. It's definitely not heavy, it's super light and sporadic, and it's not red, but in my experience, spotting has never been a good thing. I guess we'll see what my blood work looks like on Monday and then my RE will decide if we're going to schedule an ultrasound.

How far along are you at this point? 4w4d
How are you feeling? Crampy, tired, little queasy. Nothing too intense right now
Any appts this week? Nope, still have to call. They want me to get an ultrasound at 6-7 weeks then follow up after that
QOTW: no! If you asked me last weekend I'd say yes! But back in the teens. Crazy weather

Fx the spotting is just left over blood@bethkate!

[peggels24]

How far along are you at this point? 4 weeks 2 days

How are you feeling? Physically ok...a few bouts of nausea and some crampy but still pretty good.

Any appointments this week? Nope not until the 23rd

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet? It did for a couple of weeks but back to freezing again (which I am not complaining about)

[peggels24]

bethkate fx the spotting isn't anything

[beefinch]

bethkate FX the spotting is nothing!
I spotted/bled all the way through my pregnancy with DS, it was absolutely terrifying but it was nothing each time (9 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks) so I hope that reassures you slightly

[beefinch]

How far along are you at this point?

LMP - 4 weeks 6 days
By my O date - 2 weeks 4 days (if that's even a thing being 2 weeks pregnant lol, but my clear blue digital said 2-3 weeks pregnant this morning) Looking forward to actually seeing what my due date is!

How are you feeling? Fine, slightly more tired in the evenings. Nips are giving me hell for the 2nd day in a row, and I seem to be extra hungry!

Any appointments this week?

Nothing, I have rang my doctors to get referred to our midwife, so I'm expecting a phone call over the next couple weeks to book first appt, and bloods etc. Looking forward to seeing her to see what she thinks my due date will be.


QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet?

Nope - still raining pretty much every day. Although I have seen some flowers starting to bloom. It's my favourite time of the year because it's so pretty. Plus I can't wait until the nicer weather so we can get our garden done!

[bethkate]

beefinch, thanks 😊 I know spotting can be no big deal, but after four losses, I'm pretty worried.

Also, as far as the CB digital, I think the 2-3 weeks means 2-3 past O, so roughly 4-5 based on LMP.

[blabbermouth]

How far along are you at this point?
4w4d
How are you feeling?
Pretty good, a bit of cramps on and off, a bit tired on and off. I went for a nice long hike today though.
Any appointments this week?
Nope, not until the 15th.
QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet?
Oddly, no. We still have a chance of snow here which is really unusual. Hopefully it will be spring-like soon!

Fx for you bethkate!

[izz67]

How far along are you at this point? 5w 2d

How are you feeling? Okay. No nausea, some mild cramping.

Any appointments this week? Nope. First appointment is on the 28th. I'll be 8w 4d.

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet? Not at all. I live in the PNW, we just got more snow yesterday. I'm more than ready for spring!

[izz67]

bethkate, FX the spotting subsides. I hope it's nothing.

[bethkate]

izz67, snow? Yuck! By March I'm so ready to be done with it! I ran a 5k last year the first weekend in April in the snow. It was awful. haha

As far as the spotting, I may be speaking too soon, but it seems to have stopped for now. I'm still nervous to see what tomorrow's blood work looks like, though.

[jax1182014]

You got this bethkate! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow

Definitlg yuck! We don't usually get much after January, so this is odd for us.

I'm glad to hear the spotting has stopped. Good luck with tomorrow's blood work.

[bostonbaker]

Good luck today, bethkate! I hope your numbers come back great.

[bostonbaker]

How far along are you at this point? 4w3d by LMP (EDD 11/10)

How are you feeling? Not bad.  Last week I had some nausea, but nothing since then.  My boobs are growing and I'm bloating already, ugh. 

Any appointments this week? Not until 8 weeks. 

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet? No, so cold today!  Still running my space heater at work.

[zonagirl]

How far along are you at this point? Five weeks, 3 days.

How are you feeling? I have been sleeping about ten hours each night, and waking up feeling rested, so I clearly need the sleep. My stomach has been a bit off. No sore boobs here, which is really messing with my mind because I definitely had soreness at this point with my first.

Any appointments this week? Nope.


QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet? Not yet. Though it is supposed to get into the sixties today!

Thanks! I posted in the randoms thread, but my betas came back at 5118 today. I was aiming for over 2800 based on the doubling time, so I'm thrilled! My ultrasound is 3/16.

Great news!!!

How far along are you at this point? 4w1d

How are you feeling? Pretty good, other than a cold and sore boobs.

Any appointments this week? No, not til April

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet? Nope. We get teasers of 40-50 degree days only to have it snow the next day.

What wonderful news! I'm so excited for you!

[dottiehinson]

How far along are you at this point?
4 weeks exactly!

How are you feeling?
A little tired, a little bloated, a little crampy. I'm terrified I'm not feeling pregnant enough (although even during my healthy pregnancy with my DD, I'm pretty sure I felt fairly good until 6.5 weeks when the morning sickness hit hard!). Trying not to overanalyze everything, but "PGAL/PAIF brain" is really starting to get to me!

Any appointments this week?
Beta and "pregnancy confirmation" (basically peeing in a cup) appointment on Friday. Super anxious for it to get here!!

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet?
We don't get a lot of variation in our seasons, so winter is pretty mild here. It has been rainier and a bit chillier here than usual, but that means about 62 degrees. (I'm originally from the Midwest, and I really miss having four distinct seasons!)

[blabbermouth]

dottiehinson, my husband really likes your username

Good luck with your betas and appointment on Friday. I think a lot of us are understanding of the nervousness. It took us two years to conceive and it was by IUI so I really want the best outcome!

My symptoms are about the same as yours I'd say! A bit of those three, and also really hungry.

[dottiehinson]

blabbermouth Thank you for the reassurance! I need to work on my thought stopping and positive reframing skills when I start overthinking everything (I'm a psychologist- I should probably be better at this! 😂).

Best of luck to you as well! And thanks for the compliment on my username! Gotta love Dottie- I'm a huge baseball fan and grew up playing softball!

We're heading down to Phoenix next week to watch some spring training!

Sounds like you'll be an asset to the group, "do as I say, not as I do!" haha

[Deleted]

How far along are you at this point? Exactly 4 weeks according to LMP.

How are you feeling? A little nauseous, a little tired, boobs are a little tender. I also felt like chugging a bottle of Frank's Red Hot last night, so that's new.

Any appointments this week? Going to make one today!

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet? According to my kids' stuffy noses, yes. Spring is upon us. It's starting to warm up and there are flowers everywhere!

[dottiehinson]

blabbermouth Yay, how fun!! I used to go every year before DD was born! Spring training is so relaxing- nice weather, the crack of the bat, overall laid back atmosphere. Enjoy every minute!!! 😁⚾️

[esgrunner]

I'm going to tentatively jump in....got a very very faint BFP this morning!

How far along are you at this point? 3 weeks 3 days according to online calculator

How are you feeling? Tired, but I have a 19 month old that does not enjoy sleeping much (Hi to my August15 ladies!) (although last night was a good night); fleeting boob soreness but just here and there; very nervous after a loss last fall

Any appointments this week? I'll call the office this afternoon

QOTW: Is it starting to feel like spring where you are yet? We've had a weird winter in the mid-Atlantic, with a nice stretch of spring in February!

[peggels24]

esgrunner, Congratulations and welcome! I'm very sorry about your loss.
