Monday Symptoms

[canadiansciencegeek]

The food aversions kicked in this morning. Thankfully the lunch that seemed completely unappealing when I was packing it this morning, was tolerable come lunch time. But now the heartburn... ugh, forgot about that symptom.

[ProfEDD]

theophania Yay for great betas!

I'm tired too. Nauseous, boobs hurt. And lots of burping...

The blump is out of control! I'm not going to be able to hide this situation much longer :-(

[PamBeeslyHalpert]

I'm exhausted! I slept 8 hours last night and I'm still so so tired!!
I've also been getting cramps, which I know can be normal but sill worry me a bit very time I feel them.

AFM, I'm so freaking tired. I took a kind of nap while my 6 year old watched power rangers and stuck his face REALLY close to mine every few minutes to see if I was awake. I know I'm totally MOTY. My 6 year old is also an expert nap troll.

I got my second betas in today and they doubled in 42 hours so everything is looking good and I'm feeling MUCH better about it all. Hopefully it keeps going well.

1st Betas - HCG 88 Prog 16.9
2nd Betas - HCG 195 Prog 16.9

Yay for good betas!!

I'm miserable today but it's not pregnancy related. I woke up this morning with HORRIBLE sinus congestion. My head is pounding, my sinuses are going to explode, my ears are aching, and I'm exhausted.

Pregnancy symptoms? None, nada.

Aside from taking my dogs to the park and out for walks I made it a point to veg this weekend. All weekend, and it feels like I haven't slept a wink I am so damn tired. It's a constant battle between nausea and not having the desire to eat when I'm not nauseous. Oh, and my nipples are sore.

[mrsb1008]

Exhausted still. Crazy dreams (though I had those before pregnancy, but I think they have gone to a different level). Constipation... still. I am still able to eat almost everything, though I think I'm developing an aversion to beef. Boobs are still kinda sore, but not like they were a few weeks ago. But I will take all of those over MS.

[lawmom1229]

Tired and nauseous when I don't eat often.

[midnightsun]

Nauseous and yet hungry ALL THE TIME. Food aversions are starting to come around. My husband made an amazing dinner last night and I couldn't stomach looking at it.

[el1zabeth]

barfing. so much barfing

[andtheheartbreakers]

My head cold is so bad I can't breathe through my nose which means I can't sleep. I panic when I can't breathe through my nose so sleep becomes impossible.

The nausea hit me so bad this past weekend and although I'm hungry the thought of anything coming near my mouth makes me so sick. So I haven't eaten really since Friday. And I puked for the first time today, so yay for that.

[mrskait13]

Nauseous, boobs are sore and soooo swollen. They deflated after DS, so they look kind of like my pre-pregnancy boobs!! (I miss those boobs....i want those boobs back). Heartburn like you wouldn't believe, and tums are no help. that just makes me lose my lunch.

[emejay]

I'm tired. So, so tired. My MIL is coming over for dinner (and she's cooking!!!!!), but I think I'm gonna bail on them at 7:30 to go to sleep.

[lilo]

Had some moderate cramping last night, which sent my PGAL brain into overdrive. I woke up this morning with the cramps gone and nausea back. I had a little bit of heartburn last night. Aversions to almost all food.

Tired. And nauseous. But thankful that we had a Mac-n-Cheese bar at the office cafe today (and the Starbucks run this afternoon). Hit the spot!

Mac-n-Cheese bar sounds amazing

[disneygirl14]

Plain exhausted and moody. I have no appetite, only ate half my lunch and got nauseous from it. I don't know if that's from being so tired or being pregnant.

[swbrigadoon]

Great news theophania!

I am throwing a pity party over here. I have felt so sick all day, I couldn't eat anything but rice cakes until 3pm or so. And somehow I pinched a nerve in my back last night which is adding to my misery. As if it wasn't already hard enough to lay down and get comfortable

[pinkclouds]

Nothing at all. I know I shouldn't complain, but it's freaking me out. My cramping even went away. I can't really remember when the symptoms started with DD. Maybe 6 weeks. I'm trying not to worry.

I'm sorry for all of you with the nausea and vomiting. That sounds awful.

I've had a pretty shitty day. Today was the day in my last pregnancy that I miscarried (24dpo or 5w3d). Well, because the world hates me, I started cramping this morning, shooting pains...in my rectum (wth???), and then I started bleeding. It wasn't bright red but it was definitely red and either dark or brown. More than spotting. I called the doctor and got in this afternoon. Surprisingly, he did a pelvic and said that the cervix was firm and the blood was old. I asked about the shooting pain in the rectum, which I also felt when he did the pelvic, and he said it could be the uterus is growing that way for now. He also said that this is the time that the placenta attaches, so that is what the blood could be from. I'm having an extremely hard time believing that this could be normal. I should get my beta results in a couple hours, and luckily I had a draw last Tuesday so I'll have something to compare it too. I know the PgAL mantras say to remind yourself that today you are pregnant, but I feel like I'd rather say I'm probably not pregnant and hope for good news. I'm not normally so negative IRL.

Paging MrsEmuTavi because I know you had the same but yours was only spotting right?

The MA joked that I will have to sit on a donut for the rest of pregnancy. I mean, I'll do whatever I need to do to get a healthy baby, but you're telling me that my whole work will know that I'm having rectum pain. COOL.

[uclameghan]

I still have none and it's kinda freaking me out. Well, I guess I've been more tired overall, but I'm also battling a nasty cold.....

So sorry - me too. My cold started last Wednesday and quickly went downhill :/

[MrsEmuTavi]

@hoven, I've had spotting twice this time around and once last pregnancy, so far it means nothing. I've had brown, bright red, and rusty red blood (so basically all you can think of). Once was a trickle for a few hours, once was a gush of red, and once I didn't catch it until it was over already. A liner was needed all three times but not a pad, I consider it spotting if you need a liner, not a pad.

Just checking, and I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, you're sure the blood was from your V? My guess is you are like me a wiped in a paranoid fashion making sure of where it was coming from before freaking out so you are sure it was from your V.

((Hugs)) Keep us updated!

Ya I'm positive, plus when the doctor did the pelvic he swabbed some of the blood.  When he saw the color he was less worried, but I'm still freaked out.  It's almost weird to think that I wish it was coming from the back door haha.  But it is definitely from the uterus, I just hope it doesn't increase.

Mine was heavy when it just started and quickly trickled off so hopefully it is the same for you.  T&Ps!

hovenb sorry you are having such a tough day. Spotting sucks. FX that your betas look good and that all is well.

I misspoke earlier about not having symptoms. I don't think I can eat the chicken I cooked for dinner tonight (makes me nauseous thinking about it), my boobs hurt after a whole day without a bra, I needed a nap today, and the dreams have started.

Amazing, mind blowing sex dreams. Surprisingly MH was in them. We had awesome sex in front of a whole bunch of people and then I had to go for my ultrasound. I forgot to drink the 16oz of water and then the doc found the HB and told me I was at 18 weeks, not 7. Oh, and the doc opened my uterus up to measure the baby and the baby spoke like a dolphin. I don't think I've ever had this weird of a pregnancy dream.

[Deleted]

I vomited for the first time last night and I am having a hard time eating. I'm just annoyed because I'm about 9 weeks and I have been good until this point.

[cowplanet]

Never-ending nausea, boobs have been sore since 9DPO, food aversion seems to extend to everything today, always tired, and now have some serious indigestion/borderline constipation. Awesome sauce. I did buy a comfy maternity sports bra yesterday and think I'll be buying a couple more shortly - it didn't give me uniboob, so that's a win in my book!

DH had the nerve to tell me to get "lacey bras" and downloaded a Victoria's Secret coupon. I just gave him a dirty look and left the room.

[minionkeeper]

All the sick nauseous crap is tucked away behind the fact I have had intense abdominal cramps for 2 days now and through the night enough to keep me awake and make my back sore. I'm waiting til tomorrow to call the doctor if its still here. Meanwhile my bed is my new favorite place. I keep falling asleep like I haven't slept in years.

[hovenb]

Beta came back, here are the numbers:
14 dpo: 238
18 dpo: 1116 (doubling time like 43 hours)
24 dpo: 6532 (doubling time of 55.7 hours)

Doc says these are good numbers, but I told him I didn't think so because they didn't double within the 48 hour time limit. He said, well that's true, but I can't really say if you are going to miscarry tomorrow or in a few weeks, but right now it doesn't look like it. I told him my numbers rose last time when I was miscarrying, and he said, "Oh really?" Granted, last time my doubling time was 68 hours and I had passed huge clots.

So ya, I'm just sitting here in limbo.
