(((Hugs))) mosdub. Have you read the PGAL mantras? I find them reassuring, especially when I think I'm jinxing myself with something. I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation!
Thanks for posting the link, I love the mantras but haven't read them with this BFP, I've only seen them around

((Hugs)), ladies. PgAL brain sucks.
Howw are you feeling - emotionally and/or physically? Physically, blah. I have to eat every few hours or I can't eat. Still have occasional cramping. Emotionally, I've been better. My logical mind knows the doctors are wrong, but PgAL brain is strong.
GTKY: favorite vacation spot or dream vacation spot? Dream spot - Ireland No favorite, as we haven't repeated yet. Still working through baseball stadiums.
How are you feeling - emotionally and/or physically?
Physically - okay - some cramping and nausea. And I'm so bloated Emotionally - Time is at a standstill - I wish I was far enough along to have an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay. I get my second blood draw today to compare HCG to last Friday. Last Friday's test I didn't get results until Tuesday - hopefully it doesn't take as long this time.
GTKY: favorite vacation spot or dream vacation spot? We really like Punta Cana for all inclusives. Dream spot would be Ireland and Italy. I would love to do a 2 week trip around Europe but not sure that's in a cards at least for now.
BFP #1 December 2012 - MMC January 2013, D&C February 2013 BFP #2 October 2014 - DD arrived July 16, 2015 BFP #3 July 2016 - MC @ 9 weeks August 2016 BFP #4 Due January 2, 2018 - Please stick baby!
I think the hardest thing for me is that I had no idea anything was wrong with my loss earlier this year. no bleeding, no cramping, had m/s, etc. so if I had all those signs with a non-viable baby, how in the world could I ever differentiate between a good and bad pregnancy?

Same here. I don't have any advice but I get this so much. (((Hugs))) It's really hard.
caer I'm crossing everything that your second beta is good. It's really hard with no symptoms. ((Hugs))
kinipela7 I hope everything is ok. Pregnancy dreams are all kinds of messed up and don't help.
kaits8 I'm glad you are getting some reassurance from POAS. I am trying to only do it every few days in hopes that I see changes. The struggle is real to not test at every bathroom break.
callmeKD pgal brain is such a bitch. I am so excited for you though. Twins would terrify me, but I've secretly always wanted some.
Fearsy I am still crossing everything for you. I hope you can take yesterday's good results to help you get through the wait. I am also super annoyed at your docs office for you. I am experiencing the same shit and it's really terrible.
ladytiffany24 I wish there was a way to go to the bathroom and not panic. The struggle is real, and it fucking blows. I'm so sorry you have to be scared.
erinshelley21 the symptom game is the suck. You don't want them, but you want them for reassurance. It's the worst and I'm sorry you are scared.
renegadewhit I am smiling at your post about the ultrasound. I am so happy for you. I hope the dreams and subsequent bad thoughts go away soon.
glb30 I'm glad the beta numbers are rising and I also wish the next 8 weeks would fly by. The waiting is pure torture.
mosdub I hope you can enjoy your vacation and not panic too much. Everything is crossed for you.
bluedaisy0627 I hope the cramping calms down and you can get some reassurance out of your symptoms.
sarahh I hope your beta numbers are good and that you can get the results today. Waiting is so terrible I couldn't wait until Tuesday, you are a saint.
All of you are making me wish we were going on vacation. We don't travel often due to my husbands work right now, but I'm hoping to start up family vacations again in a few years.
So I went to the lab right when they opened to get my blood drawn, hoping they would be able to get back the results today. Nope - Monday at the earliest. Great - I get to wait and think about it all weekend! Normally in a situation like this I would drink but that's not an option anymore!

I put this is the randoms already but I got my beta results and it was a doubling time of 55 hours. I know that's in normal range but I made the mistake of googling it and now I'm freaking out. I hate PGAL brain so much.

Big hugs all around. I've been pretty relaxed, despite lack of symptoms (other than threesies aka morning sickness of the booty). I did have brief panic attack that I wasn't getting enough folic acid because in the last few months we've been trying a more low carb diet. I doubled checked my prenatal vitamins and it has the recommended amount for pregnancy, and I've been taking those horse pills since 2012.

Symptoms don't mean anything. I never had spotting with either loss. My blighted ovum was the most symptomatic to date, totally meaningless. Most pregnancies end in healthy babies. Hang in there.
how are you feeling - emotionally and/or physically? I don't want to be too excited about this pregnancy because I'm afraid it will end up like last time. But, I also know if this works out it will be my last pregnancy so I'm trying to enjoy it. Definitely mixed emotions.
GTKY: favorite vacation spot or dream vacation spot? We love Dana Point, CA. We had a blast there several years ago. Dream vacation, even though it would be cold, would be an Antarctic cruise. I love penguins.

muskiefan I feel the same way. We definitely wanted a third, but this will be the last baby if it works out. It's such a crazy mix of emotions. I hope you can find peace and can enjoy it.
