How are you feeling? Ok. Nausea comes and goes but nothing major. Still have really sore boobs which is to be expected since my progesterone is high. The spotting seems like it could be stopping, so that makes me feel a little better.

Any appointments this week? My first u/s is on Thursday.

QOTW: How long have you and your SO been together? In June we'll have been together for 15 years and married for 9.

How are you feeling? Good! A little bit of cramping still which freaks me out. And my crazy migraine from last week is finally gone totally and I hope I never have that lovely symptom again.

[RoLoMa]

How far along are you? 4w2d

How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. Some nausea and super tired but that could partly be having a toddler. I have been having much more cramping than I can remember with DS. Maybe I am just extra cognizant of it this time around. I keep going to the bathroom to make sure there isn't any spotting. I think I need to just calm the fuck down for a minute.

Any appointments this week? I have my first beta draw this afternoon. Repeat will be Wednesday sometime. After that I am guessing we'll set up our first ultrasound. I thought last time we did 6, 8, and 10 weeks before being released to the obgyn but now I am wondering if we only did 8 and 10 week because I can't find any 6 week evidence. I am really keeping my fingers crossed for a 6 week.
ETA: beta #1 came back at 265, beta #2 scheduled for Wednesday

QOTW: How long have you and your SO been together? We have been together for 7 years and will be married for 6 in August.

[peggels24]

RoLoMa, There are a few of us on here who are experiencing a lot more cramping this time around as well. I think it's a multiple pregnancy thing (although now I wonder how my mom had 6 babies and 10 or 11 pregnancies - she must have been in hell with me LOL)

[jax1182014]

[dottiehinson]

How far along are you? 5 weeks today

How are you feeling? Mainly tired with lots of mood swings. Occasional nausea and frequent trips to the restroom. Experiencing increasing amounts of brown spotting, which is reminiscent of my ectopic, although I did have brown spotting around 7 weeks during my healthy pregnancy. Feeling terrified and very guilty that I'm risking my life again for another baby when my 2 year old needs me.

Any appointments this week? Second and third betas scheduled for tomorrow and Thursday. I'm anxious to hear the results from Friday's beta and progesterone draw, which will be in tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

QOTW: How long have you and your SO been together? We started dating 10.5 years ago and have been married for 5.5 years. Time really flies!

I'm sorry you're spotting too. Did you have betas drawn? If you had normally rising betas, it's unlikely it's another ectopic. When's your u/s?

Oh no, are you spotting as well? I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so scary! My RE told me that it's "not normal, but it's common" back in 2014 when I was pregnant with my DD. I've been holding onto that little nugget for hope!

I had a beta and progesterone draw last Friday, but the results won't be available until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. You better believe I'll be on the phone tomorrow putting a fire under my doctor's rear to give me the results. 😂 Second and third betas are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday of this week. A little later than I wanted, but my OB is much less on the ball than my RE was. If it means anything (which it probably doesn't), I'm feeling much crappier/more pregnant now than I did during the ectopic pregnancy, so my fingers are crossed that it's a healthy one!

[dottiehinson]

bethkate Ugh, I forgot to answer your ultrasound question! I have one scheduled for 3/23 at 6 weeks and 3 days. My doctor tried to talk me into waiting until 9 weeks, but I insisted I wanted to check things out earlier. Do you have an ultrasound coming up soon?

Oof. This reminded me of the postpartum cramping and how it gets more painful with each subsequent birth. I'm scared.

Add me to this club. I feel way more cramping this time around.

Love tit because this all makes me feel way less anxious about all the cramping. Reassures me that it's probably a subsequent pregnancy quirk.

I didn't have a single cramp with DS the entire time, but I have been cramping constantly for days this time. My lower back also hurts, which I didn't have either. Hoping it's a 2nd pregnancy thing and not a problem!

1. It really sucks that it takes so long for you to get your blood results!
2. My u/s is Thursday. I'll be 6w5d

[bethkate]

dottiehinson, I hear ya about trying to hold on to hope! Luckily, my spotting got heavier Wed-Thurs last week and has gotten much lighter again since then, so that's helping me to feel better. I'm still well aware of everything that can go wrong, but when I had bleeding/spotting with my losses, it never got lighter, so this is different for me.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that it's getting lighter for you! That's encouraging! I'm sending positive sticky vibes your way, and I'm excited to hear how your ultrasound goes later this week!

OMFG my lower back is KILLING me today. Parts of my job require me to be on my feet for long periods and usually it is not a problem. Today it is so uncomfortable.

My lower back has been hurting badly. I thought it was too early for that, but sounds like it's not.

I'm thankful I don't have to stand for work right now. I was in a meeting where I was standing and I started getting light headed, so I just had to act all casual as I sat on the floor like a child, haha. My back is hurting on and off, but it's okay today so far, and my cramping isn't bugging me yet today. Yay. Small wins.
