Next appointment? No idea yet, still waiting for the OB's office to call me. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow I'll call them.
Symptoms/How are you feeling? Mostly nauseous, and also like my digestive system isn't working quite right. Plus, going up a flight of stairs is winding, when I used to do it ten times a day with no issue.
Rants/Raves? I'm irrationally excited to be participating in this check-in. But if the nausea could dial back, that'd be great.
GTKY: I work in Information Security for a large healthcare company. I used to a lot of different stuff in that job, but when we merged with a larger company my role got scaled back a bit. So now I handle day to day security operations for the office I work in (opposite coast from the main office) and do most of the training/education/awareness/communication writing for the entire company. Plus any little odd projects that don't really "fit" anyone else's role there.

How many weeks?: 5+2
EDD?: 9/17
Next appointment?: first appt is on 2/5, they'll do an u/s that day too!
Symptoms/ how are you feeling?: Heartburn, even from water, slightly nauseated after eating and mild cramping.
Rants/raves?: I got blood work done for my annual physical before BFP and it came back the I'm pre-diabetic. I'm so disappointed in myself. I plan to reverse it so I don't get GD, but all I want is a donut!
GTKY: WM what do you do for a living? I'm a registered dental assistant. I mainly work in the front office since coming back from mat leave last year though. I plan to go back to school to become a dental hygienist.
Next appointment? Feb 4 for a follow up ultrasound.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? So awful. Constant nausea. I just lied on the couch all weekend. Even doing the dishes was hard.
Rants/Raves? Got my ultrasound today. Happy to see the little heart beat. Slightly worried since bebe is a little small.
GTKY: WM what do you do for a living? SAHM what did you do prior to being a SAHM? Executive assistant to a bunch of accountants.
Did they tell you that the ultrasound size can be off by a few days for a variety of reasons (earlier or later implantation, varying growth rates within the norm, etc)? My doctor said +/- 5 days is prefectly normal even if you're sure on your dates.
Yes he said +/- 4 days and this was 6. We did an IUI. I am not too too worried because it's an ultrasound of a blueberry sized baby. I imagine it's hard to be completely accurate.

How many weeks? 6 weeks
EDD? 9 / 12 / 16
Next appointment? 1 / 25
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nausea, major bloating, fatigue, heightened sense of smell, difficulty eating and simultaneously always hungry, sore nipples. So just feeling a bit off...
Rants/Raves? Traveling at 6 weeks was a bad idea. I'm glad we're finally home.
GTKY: WM what do you do for a living? SAHM what did you do prior to being a SAHM? I SAH but before that I was a music teacher. I am nannying currently but I bring DD with me.
Late to the party - I was off yesterday and spent the day out with DD.
How many weeks? 5 weeks today!
EDD? September 20th
Next appointment? I called my OB this morning to set up my first appointment - I should hear back today or tomorrow, but she generally doesn't schedule the first appointment until 8-10 weeks unless there are unusual circumstances.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Generally good but definitely more tired than usual. I wake up multiple times a night and can't seem to get back to sleep and have been tossing and turning a lot.
Rants/Raves? It seems like every week I hear about another friend/family member who's expecting this spring/summer, and it's making it so hard not to spill the beans! DH and I won't tell family until we've had the first appointment, and friends/work will have to wait until the end of 1st tri.
GTKY: WM what do you do for a living? SAHM what did you do prior to being a SAHM? I work in professional development at a law firm.

Late to the party, but I'm here.
How many weeks? 6+5
EDD? 9/8
Next appointment? Thursday
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Blech. I feel gross, but the puking is inconsistent. To my mind it's better than constant vomiting, anyway.
Rants/Raves? I keep waking up at 3 or 4 AM and not getting back to sleep.
GTKY: WM what do you do for a living? SAHM what did you do prior to being a SAHM? I was a baker/cake decorator, like I mentioned last week. It was awesome. Now I'm going to school studying Sustainable Management.
Next appointment? I should find out later this week. We had an appointment with the RE today and had our first ultrasound. The OB needs the records from the RE before they can schedule us.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nausea is getting worse every day. I just ordered some ginger candies to try to help with that. I am also peeing constantly, even getting up in the middle of the night, which I never used to do. Very sore boobs.
Rants/Raves? The peeing is really annoying.
GTKY: WM what do you do for a living? SAHM what did you do prior to being a SAHM? I work with kids as either a Therapeutic Mentor or doing In Home Therapy. I am like a therapist, but can't call myself that because I don't have my masters degree. I just started a masters program this fall and should be done by Summer 2018, so I can be at therapist.
Me: 28, all tests normal DH: 34, very low count, motility, morphology DX - MFI 11/14/09 - Married 01/01/14 - TTC #1 01/06/15 - Started working with RE 04/06/15 - Recommendation - straight to IVF w/ICSI 09/04/15 - Started working with new RE Nov/Dec 15 - IVF w/ ICSI #1 - 11R/8F - 1 transferred, 3 frozen
Next appointment? Haven't called yet. Still waiting to hear back if I can enroll in STD so I don't want records of an appt on the books
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Pretty decent but I can't make it past 930pm if you paid me
Rants/Raves? We told my MIL not to share our news but she spoke to DH last week and said she told her best friend, who is a psychic. The psychic said "I knew they were pregnant before you told me." Apparently she's also shared with MIL what we're having.... OK psychic. Whatever you say...
GTKY: WM what do you do for a living? I'm an executive at a Marketing company
