*~PGAL Check-In 5/18~*

[mrsoscarfelix]

This is the weekly check-in for January moms who have experienced pregnancy loss before this pregnancy. I'm sorry you have to be here, but let's get each other through the next 9 months.


If this if your first check-in, Welcome! Please share the following in your post:


Pregnancy Loss Background (if you feel comfortable) :

EDD:


_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How far along are you (weeks/fruit):


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot?

[mrsoscarfelix]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 5w tomorrow / Sesame Seed


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I am not feeling much. My boobs are a tad sore. I was feeling a little queasy this morning but that's about. Emotionally, the lack of symptoms are really messing with my PGAL mind. I still have a week until my appointment and it's almost been a week since my last betas. I wish I knew if things were okay.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Not this week


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot? Definitely the Virgin Islands, my family goes once a year I haven't been able to go because of work but I do love it.

[amandflo]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 5wk/2d, appleseed


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I felt great all weekend, and then this morning I woke up feeling very, very nauseous. Boobs aren't sore anymore though, and my cramping seems to have subsided. Emotionally, I'm nervous and impatient. Our betas on Saturday were great, but I don't like the fact that I'm going to have to wait a whole week until my next appointment with our RE.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Nothing until a week today, but we'll be getting an ultrasound!


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot? This is so hard, I've been to so many amazing places. I think it would have to be Italy though. Cinque Terre in particular, though it's been a few years since I've went there.

[icequeen]

mrsoscarfelix, I totally understand that the lack of symptoms can be worrisome. I am over week ahead of you and still feel little. I had symptoms about 2 weeks ago and now they are gone, which is totally freaking me out. My appointment isn't until next Tuesday. This week is going to infinitely drag on. I'm also super impatient, amandflo. I can't stop thinking about how slowly the time is passing, ugh!

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6w3d

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? I'm feeling a little too good to be true. I started off feeling super tired and nauseous but now I just want to eat everything in sight and have little cramping. I'm still tired and moody but I can't help feeling scared that something is going wrong because I am feeling so "normal".

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next appointment is with an US to check for heartbeat, next Tuesday. Fuck! So far away!

QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot? Costa Rica is so naturally beautiful and unique. We went for our honeymoon and DH studied abroad there. I hope to go back again.

Pregnancy Loss Background (if you feel comfortable) :
See siggy. 3rd times the charm!


EDD: 1/25/16

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 4 weeks exactly!


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, I'm having like...cervical twinges. That's about it. With my 2nd loss, I had crazy symptoms immediately so I'm not feeling too good about this one. Emotionally, I'm doing pretty well since I see my RE weekly.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Friday is beta/thyroid test, and next week is our first US already.


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot? I really liked Jamaica!

[mrsoscarfelix]

amandflo YAY for great betas!! My next appointment is in a week and it seems sooo FAR AWAY! FX the time goes by fast. I have always wanted to go to Italy!

icequeen FX the time goes by fast for you also - the wait is seriously the worst. I am glad you are feeling good but I know what you mean by just waiting for something to be wrong. I was in Costa Rica for a hot second on a cruise - it was beautiful!

[gidgetgirl08]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit):5 w 5d - Orange seed


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? emotionally - today is ok. Physically- my stomach doesn't want to settle - crackers are not helping. I'm just hoping that water doesn't make me nauseated again this pregnancy.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: no appt until 5/28 and that's just a confirmation. Nothing fun (ultrasound) will happen before they have me POAS for them.


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot? this is a tough question - probably St. Kitts - it's Caribbean without being overpopulated and touristy.

[mrsoscarfelix]

gidgetgirl08 I hope you start feeling better! I love the Caribbean!

I don't know how the heck I missed you today, but I am SOOO glad you are here!

I am glad you see your RE weekly and I am going to add that I am jealous! My symptoms are lot less intense than my first two losses, actually this one feels completely different. I am not sure how it makes me feel. GL on the testing on Friday - hope everything goes well!

DUDE. Me too! I don't have ANYTHING other than a few twinges, which I've been told is normal. Not cramping, no bleeding, just feels like stretching. I hope we both (and all!) have sticky babies!

[missglitz]

Pregnancy Loss Background (if you feel comfortable) : CP in Jan 2014

EDD: This sticky bean - 1.10.15


How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6 wks , 1 day


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? I'm exhausted. I have been doing pretty good during the day but by dinner time, I'm done. I'm glad to have made it past my CP length, but still carry nerves daily. I hate waiting!


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Appt with ultrasound (hopefully) next Wednesday.


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot? The beach.

I am very tired by the end of the day as well. I am having a hard time making it to 8pm! I'm glad you passed your CP length but I agree the nerves are always there. FX the time goes by fast and the weight doesn't seem so long !

[berries555]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6w2d


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Stressed. I feel like my symptoms are continually disappearing. Like my last 2 losses last year. I had consistently been exhausted. However, last night, I could not sleep. So PAIF brain starting and that just made things worse. I had been falling asleep the minute my head hit the pillow, however, last nigth I was up a good hour after I laid down.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: My first u/s is next Wednesday (5/27). It cannot get here soon enough.

I am starting to feel my symptoms less and less and if has been definitely freaking me out. PGAL/PAIF brain is such a MF. FX that time goes by fast until your ultrasound!

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6w2d


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?
Physically I am exhausted and getting waves of nausea, emotionally I just want to know this little baby is still growing and everything is good. So anxious

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Not until the 29 (first ultrasound)


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot? I love Punta Cana. I have only been once but I want to go back so bad it was so beautiful, white sand a blue blue waters.

+1 on the exhaustion. I am in the same boat about waiting - it's been a week since my betas and a week until my doctors appointment. I can't stand it not knowing what's going on. I hope time goes fast until your ultrasound!

[germaphobe]

mrsoscarfelix thanks I hope your week flies by too!!! I just wish I could just have my own ultrasound to check on this little peanut. With my first pregnancy I was pretty chill, it's crazy how PGAL brain does to you.

[rslh10]

Pregnancy Loss Background (if you feel comfortable) : 1 ectopic, 1 CP, tons of medicate cycles, ttc for 20 months.

EDD: 1-8-15, but I'm a repeat C-section so I will be earlier than that (hence my hesitation to join in here vs. dec)

****

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6w4d/ blueberry!


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, like crap. Nausea ALL. DAY. LONG. it's that sickness that just sits at the base of your throat and makes you feel like you're going to puke at any second. Emotionally....I don't know. Some days I'm fine, some days it's hard.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Tomorrow is my second ultrasound. We saw a sac in the right place last week, so hoping to see more this week. I've been having sore boobs/nausea since about 5w6d (my first loss date, I think baby is telling me its all ok). Hope to see something promising!


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation spot? Oh this is easy. We went to the outer banks for our honeymoon and it was amazing. We have yet to go back, but I want to. We just went to Orlando last week for our 5 year wedding anniversary, and we went to harry potter world. It was awesome, but so freaking hot. I don't do well in the heat. lol!

I hope you start to feel better. Emotionally I am kind of the same way but I do feel kind of detached from this pregnancy. GL on the ultrasound and I hope all goes well!

So I am freaking out a little bit ladies. I had some bleeding last night. It was like a small little gush of bright read blood. Then it pretty much stopped. Now there is a tiny bit of brown when I wipe. I am waiting for RE office to open. I am only 6w3d. I dont know if a scan will do much good. Will they be able to detect a hb this soon?

((hugs)) lady. I am sorry you are going through this. At 6w3d the answer is maybe - I know its a sucky answer. There is a chance the heartbeat is visible but there is a chance it won't be until closer to 7/8 weeks. I suspect if they don't see a heartbeat they will have you come back in a couple days/week to re-check. FX everything is fine - let us know what happens!

[berries555]

mrsoscarfelix I am just going to wait until next week to go to my scan. I don't want to go and still be in limbo. I talked to my u/s tech and nurse and they both said I could come in, but I might still be in limbo.

The bleeding has completely stopped. It was a small gush of bright red and is now nothing, so why stress about it. I read that about 30% of women have bleeding spotting during their pregnancy....so since I continue to fall into the small categories of sucky things (IVF, multiple loss...etc), I guess I might just fall into this small percentile.

It is common for spotting, especially in early pregnancy. I understand not wanting to be in limbo and I hope you are able to keep calm until your scan.
