I almost missed it! Sheesh! Moving has really got me off my TCF game. I'll be back soon.
How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6 weeks tomorrow!!
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Getting more nauseous lately, other symptoms are mild yet present which is good, emotionally I have moments I'm scared about my health and how it will impact my pregnancy and delivery and my life in general. That's weighing pretty heavily as I've been in the "yea something is wrong with you but we don't know what so let's do more tests" phase for a few months now. Could be worse, I know.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: ultrasound on my liver Wednesday to check for hepatitis & ultrasound on my baby Thursday. I am officially past all my milestones!
QOTW: What thing that you have to give up during pregnancy will you miss the most? Apparently healthy eating? I was a rock star leading up to this pregnancy but now I am lucky to have an appetite for anything.

@led hope you're doing better and got someone to do their j-o-b.
Thanks. Blake's doctor was nice enough to send in the labs, but we didn't get out early enough, so I'll get them in the morning. I'm freaking out much less now, though the spotting hasn't stopped, so I'm still not very calm. I'm just really glad she was nice enough to order them at least since apparently my doctor isn't due back until *maybe* tomorrow evening but probably not until Wednesday.
If you are new to the check in, feel free to introduce yourself! Hi ladies! First check in here. I'm 32, DH is 34 tomorrow and we live in PA. We love beer and brew our own. I speak fluent movie quotes. I was an avid poster in my first BMB on TD and I'm really hoping to be able to stick around here with you!
Pregnancy Loss Background (if you feel comfortable): MMC partial molar in January of this year. They cleared us to try again after 3 cycles because my betas dropped to neg almost instantly. They didn't want to do repeat betas. I didn't trust it so I POAS every month until our BFP.
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically like I have a cold or am hungover all the time. Lots of RLP and Ute twinges. So. So. So. Tired. Emotionally... Well, I'm in a glass case of emotion. I'm feeling more positive than last time (I just knew something was wrong then) but the doubt creeps in HARD. The mantras help a lot.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: first appt Wednesday. They'll send me for betas and then set up a scan.
QOTW: What thing that you have to give up during pregnancy will you miss the most? Beer. And excessive caffeine. But mostly beer.
@led I have insanely vivid dreams, sometimes nightmares, sorry youre experiencing this, glad you got squeezed into for some labs. cbowl waiting for ultrasound is worse than the TWW
Pregnancy Loss Background (if you feel comfortable): MMC at 9w3d in February 2015, the sacs (twins) measured around 5w, so Im using my milestone as then.)
EDD: 5/19
How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 4w4d - poppy seed
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, tired and nauseous with occasional fiery boobs. Im getting in my naps when our toddler does, im working until midnight and then up with DD at 8 so that's been challenging. Emotionally Im doing okay. Sometimes I forget Im pregnant, I get some anxiety when I go to the washroom.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: My first appt was supposed to be today, I get there, the receptionist said "We have you in for monday sept 28th, sorry!" I got so teary. So now I cant even get a requisition for blood work or an u/s appt for at least another two weeks. Im so crushed.
QOTW: What thing that you have to give up during pregnancy will you miss the most? Hot tubs & Hot yoga.

Heparin, same as Lovenox. My stomach is just a bruised pincushion. I don't care so much what it looks like anymore, it's just so tender!!
I had to stop heparin a week and a half ago due to a bleed and I still have crazy bruising and tenderness! No fun!
What kind of bleeding? I pretty sure I'm in it for the long haul. My RE said it'll be up to my OBGYN if I continue it throughout the entire pregnancy or just the first tri. But I'd prefer my RE give me her opinion and that's what I'll follow.

@jennatles, that is horrible! I would have cried too. This happened to me with my very first RE way back before DS was conceived and I cried so hard they squeezed me in. My appointment was the day before and they told me the wrong day.
My beta was great yesterday! I'm stopping for now. And we're going to delay my ultrasound a week or two so we can definitely see the heartbeat.

I had a SCH right above the baby so try stopped it. It was a risk stopping but a bigger risk staying on it. I stayed on aspirin though.

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 4w 5d
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, I'm just tired. Still feeling the stretching. I've been more constipated, I've noticed.. Emotionally I am good, for the most part. We told our parents last night, and that was both nerve wrecking and exciting. I could tell they were nervous too, so it makes me a little more nervous. Overall though, I'm glad we told them.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Appointments are in October.
QOTW: What thing that you have to give up during pregnancy will you miss the most? COFFEE and zzquil. Mostly I've been exhausted lately so I've been sleeping like a baby, but for anxiety purposes I'm scared about not being able to take zzquil to be able to sleep. AND I JUST LOVE COFFEE!
Ugh, I moved my ultrasound back a couple weeks and now I'm totally regretting it. I know it's the right thing to do but I just feel sick about it.
I did the same thing...it's so hard waiting. But it's so much better being farther along and knowing that you will be at a definitive point in your pregnancy to see a heartbeat etc. Hang in there! When's yours? I'm 9/29.

It was going to be Sept 21, then I pushed it back to Oct 8, then I panicked and called back and they put it on Sept. 30. I'm feeling so much better about it now. Oct 8 was just way too far away for me. Especially because of my horrible experience with an 8 week ultrasound during my MMC.

Thanks for understanding ladies. Im mostly upset because although September 28th isn't terribly far away, itll take another week or two to get me in for an ultrasound. I was hoping to get in right at 6/7 weeks to check for heartbeat. the aaaaaagony!

Won't you be 6 and change on the 28th? Or is your ticker wrong?

Yup, that's why I was wanting to get an ultrasound that week as a HR should be detectable at that point, for scheduling I'll be looking at an ultrasound probably second week of october if they can squeeze me in. So in and around 8 weeks hopefully. I know a week is just a week, but my heart hurts, waiting is painful.
eta: it would've been nice if my u/s was schedule that week but now the scheduling process wont start until i see the OB on the 28th.
I sort of got results. My progesterone was 19.4, which is higher than it's ever been without supplements. But the hCG is only showing as a positive/negative result and not giving me a number. So it says positive, but I'm going to have to call in the morning to figure out what's up with that. But the high progesterone number is making me happy.

Could the doctor checked off qualitative betas instead of quantitative by mistake? Hope you get your actual number soon!

Not sure. That's why I need to call. But it doesn't make sense to have a standing order for qualitative betas, so it doesn't seem likely. But I don't know. If that's what it is then I'll get it changed in the morning and go back in tomorrow then again Friday. My doctor should be back in the office tomorrow, so hopefully we can get this figured out.
Okay, so it turns out Medicare does not cover quantitative hCG tests, which is why she ordered the qualitative without realizing as it was the one that popped up on the screen as the covered option. So now I don't know if I should bother. It'll be about $250 for two draws OOP.
Ugh. I hate this. I wish I still had secondary insurance to cover it. I'll probably just pay it, but damn.

This stings. I definitely take Canadian health care system for granted sometimes.
$250 OOP is a lot @led, that sucks! I got hit for a $60 co-pay at my appointment today because it's considered a specialist visit. Horseshit, America. The appointment went well, but I got to see my regular OB (thank God) who informed me that my last loss wasn't a partial molar?? WTF. She said the lab results were "inconclusive" which means they couldn't rule out a partial molar but also means it could have just been a random event or chromosomal anomaly. The OB who did the D&C and follow up appointment definitely did not explain that at all. So now I'm less worried this will be another one, but I'm still a little annoyed at his lack of explanatory capability. First U/S scheduled for next Friday. I could vomit just thinking about it.

That's good news! Though it really sucks your last doctor was a douche at explaining it. Good news nonetheless! Not the $60 co-pay, though. Is that going to be for every OB appointment? Because that's absurd.

Yeah the douche is strong with him. But he's a Giants fan so I usually give him a pass. Not this time, man. I also declined betas then because it's one less thing to worry about and now not technically necessary. The co-pay shouldn't be every time, at least I hope not! Once the pregnancy is confirmed for insurance, it should then technically be covered under preventative.
