Pregnancy Loss Background (if you're comfortable): MMC and D&C in September at 10 weeks. CP in November.

How far along are you?: 5w5d

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically pretty good. Boobs are sore and getting bigger by the minute. Constipation is also an issue. Emotionally- not so good. I had a meltdown the other day thinking that we would see a heartbeat on Monday on our ultrasound and then the baby would pass away after that and we wouldn't find out until the nuchal scan. My mind is just going all sorts of bad places.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have my dating ultrasound and first OB appointment on Monday 1/18.

Anything else you would like to share?: I want to buy a doppler but I'm afraid I would just not be able to find the heartbeat and freak myself out when it is really there. Does anybody have a good rec for one?

doodler, They talked a lot about dopplers on A16

Just keep in mind it is rare to hear a beat via doppler before 11/12 weeks.

Pregnancy Loss Background (if you're comfortable): a cp in June of last year followed by another bpf that resulted in a second tri loss at 21 weeks. The cp in October and December. Hoping this is a vey sticky baby.

How far along are you?: 4w2d

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: physically fine for yge most part no symptoms to speak of. I feel a little in my boobs now and then but thats it. However I know that can change I felt nothing with my son until like week 7 then I was sick mutipal times a day.
Emotionally, better today then I was yesterday day but it a battle to keep hopw and excitment above fear and depression.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Nothing yet I have to try and call the doctor today. My doctor from when I lost my son doesn't take the insurance we got but some others at the same office might so im going to see if I can just switch doctors rather than offices I feel like thats more hassle.

Anything else you would like to share?: not really. Im also looking into getting a doppler. Last time DH was never able to take off work to go with me to appointments so he never got to hear the heart beat until the day we lost him.

Pregnancy Loss Background (if you're comfortable): MMC in July at 10 weeks.
How far along are you? 6w1d
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Feeling pretty tired. I have had some food aversions and some nausea the last few days. Emotionally a little anxious. Our last baby passed at 6w2d and I will be that far tomorrow. Im trying to be positive but sometimes it's hard and I just want to cry.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: my first ultrasound is Tuesday the 19th.
Anything else you would like to share? Not at the moment.

Pregnancy Loss Background (if you're comfortable): MMC in August 2015 at 8 weeks

How far along are you? 5w2d

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Tired, sore nips, and some bloating the past couple days - otherwise physically ok which can be nerve wracking too. Emotionally I'm also doing ok - some days I find worries sneaking into my head but I'm trying to push them all out.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Pregnancy confirmation appointment Thursday. It's just for an in-office pregnancy test and to set up your first couple appointments, but I plan to ask about betas/progesterone check and getting an early u/s in the next couple weeks.

Anything else you would like to share? 23 DPO is the day I noticed spotting for the first time during the pregnancy I lost. Today is 23 DPO for this pregnancy. I will be quite excited to get through today without any spotting **knock on wood**.

doodler - I've been thinking of getting a doppler too. I won't buy it until closer to when I should be able to find a heartbeat myself, but I am leaning towards probably buying one.

Hugs to all for the fluctuating emotions between hope/excitement and worried. PgAL certainly messes with your head.

Pregnancy Loss Background (if you're comfortable): Chemical pregnancy in September 2015

How far along are you?: 6 weeks 3 days.

How are you feeling physically? Ok. Boobs are sore and I felt slightly nauseous this morning which went away once I ate something.
Emotionally?: I thought I was doing a little better but last night my aniexty got the best of me and I didn't sleep a wink. I tossed and turned from 11 to when my alarm went off at 6. Also my hips kept bugging me last night. They ached like I was 40 weeks pregnant. Anyone's hips giving them shit? Any way I took today off work.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Ultrasound tomorrow. Gulp. Probably why I slept like shit.

Anything else you would like to share?: nah.

[cassey910]

singingsea my hips have been very sore off and on for the last two weeks. Wishing you the best at your ultrasound tomorrow.

[LadyNymeria]

Good luck tomorrow singingsea!!

Pregnancy loss background:
Miscarried at 8 weeks feb 2013

How far along are you?: 6w3d

How are feeling physically?
Emotionally?:
Physically I'm mostly hungry, all the time. No matter what I eat or how much. Within hours in starving. 6pm on the dot every night I get hit with nausea and the same thing when I go to bed.
Emotionally I'm okay. I asked DH to get me some tests last night just because I've been feeling dizzy and weak lately and that's how I felt when I found out I was beginning to miscarry. I got two dark lines really fast so that help put my mind at ease.

Upcoming appointments or milestones: my appointment isn't until 1/26 and time is moving so slow.

Anything else you would like to share?: I'm trying to be as calm as possible but my mind can't help but wonder if this one is going to stick. With DS and DD I was just so sure that the thought of miscarrying never crossed my mind. This one I just don't know and it scares me.
