[morwen]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 9/blackberry


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: some random soreness on my left lower abdomen, it's annoying. I've got 2 more weeks until my next appointment, and I'm really hoping to hear the HB again then.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next appointment is in 15 days for family history and discussing genetic testing.


GTKY: What is your favorite comedy (movie or TV show)? Right now I'm watching The Other Guys, it's making me laugh.

[SubtleGrandeur]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 8w3d/peanut m&m


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Pretty nauseous at random points of the day. It seems to be worse at dinner time than in the morning. Emotionally, just trying to stay positive. Today I am pregnant!!


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: We have an u/s tomorrow afternoon. I keep repeating "There is a baby in there. There is a baby in there." in my head over and over, but it's not helping much. I'm really nervous.


GTKY: What is your favorite comedy (movie or TV show)? DH and I are big fans of The Goldbergs. I love seeing all of the random 80s stuff.

[followthesun]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6w5d sweet pea


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: physically ok. Sporadic boob soreness has been decreasing, and random nausea which is really more just like not wanting to eat. Or, I'm starving. Emotionally, I'm having a tough few days. Waiting for this first appointment is hard, and I know that it's only my first hurdle. I think what I'm having the hardest time with was that mine was a MMC last time, so I had no clue anything was wrong until my NT scan at 12 weeks. While I have no reason to think anything is wrong this time, and I try to remind myself my past doesn't dictate my future, I'm still haunted.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Tuesday 7/7. First u/s and appointment. I have anxiety about the whole experience, but I desperately need to know things are moving along.
I may ask for another u/s between the first appt and the NT scan just to put my mind at ease. Not sure what they will say. DH doesn't think it's a good idea because it will keep me in that loss mindset, but I don't know.

GTKY: What is your favorite comedy (movie or TV show)? I love New Girl. I think Zooey Deschanel is "adorkable"

[mellymel15]

Thanks for the check-in, morwen. I hope you hear another strong, healthy heartbeat at your next appointment

SubtleGrandeur, sorry about the nausea. Wishing you the best of luck at your appointment tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers super hard.

followthesun, I feel basically the same way as you physically and emotionally. Being PGAL is really, really hard.


How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 7w3d/blueberry


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, I still feel pretty OK. Boobs are still sore, I've been breaking out a little (mostly on my back—yay), sometimes I get random nausea at night or I just don't feel like eating anything for dinner, and I've been feeling a little sluggish. Emotionally, I've really been struggling because the fear of another loss is just so overwhelming. I want to believe everything is OK, but it's been very hard to stay positive.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: My first ultrasound is tomorrow at 9 a.m. I am so anxious and scared. This was the point last time where I found out the baby was measuring too far behind and that I'd suffered an MMC. Just two weeks prior, I saw one small drop of blood when I wiped after peeing, but that was it and I didn't experience any other symptoms to indicate that something had gone wrong. I haven't seen any blood this time around, but I know that not everyone has symptoms before a loss. I'm just terrified of suffering another MMC.


GTKY: What is your favorite comedy (movie or TV show)? I love both of the "Pitch Perfect" movies. There are so many parts that crack me up. I recently saw the second one and was laughing so hard when Fat Amy was serenading the guy she liked (I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet).

[tkford216]

I want to give (hugs) to those of you feeling nervous or discouraged this week! PGAL is hard. Hang in there, ladies! I have my FX so hard for all of you. followthesun, if an extra visit in week 10 or whatever would help you feel better, I say ask for it. A 4-week waiting period is torture with PGAL brain.

AFM,
How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 7 weeks, 3/4 days, blueberry

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, I'm doing okay. My boobs are sore on and off, my bra is a little too full now but nothing crazy. I'm mildly nauseated every so often, but like others have said it's more of an aversion to food. Constantly tired, sick of peeing all the time. Emotionally? Omg, I feel so much better after seeing the HB yesterday. It's done wonders to help me feel more optimistic about this.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I'm going back in two weeks for a quick physical and another u/s. My OB agreed that waiting another four weeks was too long.

GTKY: What is your favorite comedy (movie or TV show)? This is tough. I don't know that I have a favorite, but I still enjoy the "classic" slapstick comedies, like Monty Python Holy Grail, Airplane, etc.

Oh, and thanks for the check-in morwen!

[mrsred09]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 7 weeks 6 days, Blueberry I think


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Still so much nausea, but I think some of that is brought on by my anxiety the last couple of days. I am so anxious for my appointment tomorrow and it's causing me lots of tummy issues.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: TOMORROW!!! I am so excited and anxious to see if there is a baby in my UTE. I don't think I will be sleeping tonight at all. Tomorrow is also my loss milestone when we discovered the Blighted Ovum last pregnancy.


GTKY: What is your favorite comedy (movie or TV show)? I am a lover of Friends. I own the entire series on DVD and still watch them all the time on tv and Netflix.

[leahks77]

How far along are you (week/fruit): 6wks, pea

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, okay. Nothing sounds good to eat and I'm pretty tired. But doing okay. Emotionally still rocky. I thought seeing a HB yesterday would help but thanks to my MMC, I just can't feel excited. Trying really hard to repeat the mantras. And to enjoy this pregnancy as long as I have it. I am pregnant and I love my baby.

Upcoming appointments or milestones? None this week. Repeat u/s next week.

GTKY: What is your favorite comedy? Hmmmm for TV I love modern family, new girl, Goldbergs... I know there are so many movies but my mind is blank!

[ishihara]

*potential loss mentioned*

SPOILER: Click to show

I don't know if I should be posting here anymore. I found out at my appointment on Monday that there's a good chance that my pregnancy isn't viable. There's still a chance that things will work out, but I'm in a "manage your expectations" situation. I'm pretty crushed. This would be my third loss at or after 6 weeks, which would give me a firm RPL diagnosis.

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 7w4d


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: physically still having pregnancy symptoms (nausea, sore breasts, fatigue). Emotionally: see above. Feeling sad and angry and defeated.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: follow-up u/s next Monday. Hoping that things look better than two days ago, but in all likelihood they won't.

If I get bad news next week, I obviously won't post next Wednesday. In case this is my last PgAL check-in, I just want to wish all of you the best. I have my fingers crossed that all of you have happy, healthy pregnancies.

[mellymel15]

I'm so sorry, ishihara. I really, really wish you weren't going through this. No one should have to experience repeat losses. Sending you lots of hugs.

[tkford216]

I'm so sorry ishihara. If you need to talk, know we're all still here for you.

[leahks77]

ishihara I am so sorry you are going through this. Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way.

[morwen]

ishihara hoping you get good news at your next appointment. Hugs for all the stress.

[followthesun]

ishihara, I'm so sorry to hear. It is so unfair to deal with multiple losses. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for a good outcome. So many hugs to you. Here if you need us.
