Today is time sheet day, and my partner is on vacation. So instead of my normal 16 plus 2 reports, I have 25 plus 3 reports. This will take about 5 hours. And it is staff appreciation day, so they want me to go play instead of doing my work, but have the work done on time. Nope. Not taking work home. I'd rather work ar work and have fun at home. I'll eat the food and sneak away.
renegadewhit , . good luck! Wishing for good results for you guys.
My u/s is tomorrow! Finally. It felt forever away and now it's finally here. My DH couldn't come with me because of work so my mom offered to come for support. I figured if it's bad news, I would want someone there with me.
Yes, I want to live vicariously through others' first appointments! *stomping feet* I'm always at the end of the month! My first appointment isn't for three and a half more weeks. renegadewhit. Many good wishes for you today!!
I had my first beta drawn this morning. I should hear back this afternoon. I made the mistake of peeing on another stick this morning also and it looked lighter so I'm kind of freaking out.

Good luck today. But I will also say, don't worry about the line color. Seriously. It will play head games with you.
My first pregnancy I was peeing on them every day and it was a total mind f*ck as they always came back darker or lighter. After about a week of needless worrying, I took all the wondfo's and threw them in the trash. Like the outside garbage so I wouldn't fish them out. Everything was fine with the pregnancy, so here's hoping all is good with yours.

Thank you. Logically I know I need to step away from the peesticks but it's hard. I'm going to try my best to just wait for betas from here.
DD had to have blood drawn (finger prick) today I think the stranger holding her finger bothered her more than the actual blood draw but it's sad watching her cry!
I started getting a stuffy nose yesterday, coupled with extreme fatigue, so I figured they were pregnancy related & was totally OK with it. But then I woke up today with a full blown cold. I hate colds.
My mother came and picked up DD so I can get a few hours of work done..but I think I'll spend the quiet time on the couch watching trashy TV because I feel lousy.
caer FX for good beta today. I know it's so hard to stop peeing on things, especially when it feels like that's the only thing that will make you feel better!
Juat called and scheduled my first Dr appt for 2 1/2 weeks from now! I hate that they schedule from LMP, even if I know when I O'd (CD23..but I couldn't lie about when my LMP was b/c it was following a CP so I had gone in and they have it documented), but I'm anxious to get in and figure we will discuss it from there. Can time go faster now please??

Good luck to everyone with appointments/betas today!
Also, +1 to liking the idea of an appointment thread
Not much going on here today, it's just a typical Wednesday. Woke up feeling better than yesterday, but then got in my car and the nausea hit. Also getting antsy for my first appointment next Friday. I'm hoping they do an ultrasound just so I can get reassurance that everything is as it should be. It's incredibly weird going from my last pregnancy after IVF where I had three betas, and then three ultrasounds (it took a couple early ones because my RE was concerned at first about a possible ectopic), to now... nothing except the pee sticks from last week.
. and ugaqueencity - I was having the same conversation with DH his morning. On one hand, I'm grateful to have the early monitoring. Plus, there's no good way to find out things aren't going well. But on the other hand, the waiting is really stressful!
ugaqueencity, my RE doesn't have a patient portal So I have to sit and wait on pins and needles for the nurse to call me back, and they explicitly tell us NOT to call them, even if office hours are almost done for the day.
Mine doesn't either. It's the worst! I hope they call you nice and early today.

Good luck today ., renegadewhit, mikaela20, and caer! I have my fingers crossed all goes well. So many good vibes sent everyone's way! Sorry if I forgot anyone.
I had my first beta draw this morning and hoping they call back this afternoon. My bleeding has slowed significantly and I peed on another stick this morning and it was darker than last week so I'll take it. I'm going to try to stay positive and not let my anxiety ruin this for me.
The palms of my hands have been itchy on and off since a few days before my BFP. My feet, arms, and back feel itchy today too. Not sure if I'm being paranoid and hyper vigilant or if this means my bile acid levels may already be elevated, but I will most definitely be up my doctor's ass about getting the bloodwork done ASAP. Fuck you, cholestasis.
I hope that ugly bitch doesn't end up being the cause. FX it's nothing.
LOL I just realized that summer vacation ends in three-ish weeks, and how on earth am I going to keep up here with the dailies without being able to use my phone? #FirstWorldProblems
caer, my tests were always getting lighter and lighter with FMU and it really was a mindf. I had better luck with my SMU showing darker lines, and my betas were good. So hopefully you're the same!
I hope that ugly bitch doesn't end up being the cause. FX it's nothing.
Based on my levels last time, I have a 90% chance of it recurring. I just wasn't expecting it anytime soon, since it's typically diagnosed in 2nd or 3rd trimester.
That blows. I'm so sorry. I don't have any much knowledge of it, but I'm wishing you non itchy vibes.
