Good day everyone! I'm sorry for the MS and other symptoms to those affected.
I'm suffering from one of the worst colds I've ever had. I'm at this workshop again and I'm the girl hacking and sniffling in the corner that no one wants to sit by. Why do I get sick when I'm pregnant and can't take the good stuff? 😩 And H also has a man cold sooooo 🤷🏼♀️
I walked around the entire grocery store and the only thing that seemed semi-appetizing was a pizza lunchable. And? It was delicious. The thought of real pizza is grossing me out though.

I had to have a pizza lunchable like 2 weeks ago. Strangest craving ever. But it was good. 🤷🏼♀️

thinkingofthree if you want the link to the TCF beta calculator let me know. It's still not for public consumption, but Theo coded it so you can enter your draw times down to the minute.
And every minute counts when you're dealing with PGAL brain

I just saw that Felicia Day had a baby - I'm a huge fan of hers so I was really surprised that I totally missed that news last month. I tweeted her today about geeky babywearing with a picture of me wearing DS in a LoTR wrap and a Zelda sling, and she tweeted me back saying "cuuuuute"! I feel way too special right now hahahaha.
I finally worked up the courage today to call my midwife office to schedule my first appt. I've been struggling with PgAL brain and it's been kicking my ass. I was shocked at how sweet the scheduler was, she looked in my file and saw my details and was very supportive and gentle. So I have an appointment on 3/13 (aargh the wait) and they normally don't do u/s but are scheduling an outside tech to be there to do one.
DS and I slept for over 11 hours last night...I'm blaming it on his lack of a nap yesterday. I have to catch up on some work today and we're going to get out and enjoy the sunshine!
**trigger warning: spotting***
We went to the zoo yesterday and afterwards I noticed a very small amount of (red) blood-tinged discharge on the TP after peeing. No cramping and nothing much since but I can't keep my brain from going to negative places. I called the ob nurses' line and the nurse I spoke to was very dismissive and made me feel silly for calling. I go in on Tuesday so at least I don't have a super long wait. Until then, I'll be over here trying to not freak out.
Sorry she made you feel silly for calling; that's not right. Maybe a different nurse would have a better attitude and could get you in sooner?
beta was 91, which is a 49.3 hour doubling time. I know I should be happier, but I was hoping for something a bit higher at 9dp5dt. Then again, I know that it takes frozen embryos a bit longer to get going. I just wish that for once I could have sky high betas that more than double 3 draws in a row.
I'm also getting a really bad headache, which has been a symptom of miscarriage every single time for me. Or perhaps it's just a pregnancy symptom with terrible timing. Either way it's messing with PGAL brain
PGAL brain is the effing worst. I hope you get super sky high betas tomorrow! I have my second draw as well and feel like I want to puke every time I think about it. Sending good vibes your way.

Good luck with your draw tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. <3

Pregsomnia and constiparion. What a fun combo to have 3.5 hours before I have to wake up for a 9 hour road trip with two of my college students
i am quite over the constipation already. Ugh!! I was constipated before gku. And now I still am. I was hoping it would ease with first tri, and for a couple days, it did. But then I think the prenatals kicked in and said... Hahaha!! I have this tea that I LOVE and it works great and easy for constipation. The ob says it should be fine to drink. But I was doing a little more research and it sent my pgal self into paranoia mode. So I haven't been drinking it.
I saw kiwi has a lot of good fiber. So I picked some up at the store yesterday.
IUI 1-3 BFN IVF #1 - Oct '15 - 10R, 3M, 0F IVF #2 - August 16 - 12R, 11M, 5F. 1 to transfer and 2 to freeze - BFP!! - MMC caught at 7w5d FET #1 - 1/26 - BFP, due 10/14
I think I might win the award for the oddest pregnancy symptom (and equally most frustrating). I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and have had 5 sleepgasms, as I call them. They aren't necessarily sexual and are super painful. How do I know this, you may ask? Because I was dreaming about being in something similar to a spelling bee. Last night it happened at 3:30 and I was up until 4 trying to walk off the pain. It also left me so nauseous, I finally threw up.
On the surface it sounds like an awesome thing, but I can't wait for that phase to end. Pls, pls don't last the entire pregnancy.

No weird symptoms for me, boobs hurt and I'm nauseous to varying degrees all day long.
I'm sipping a Starbucks, trying to figure out how we are going to tell our parents. My husband wants to tell them right away, I'm a little hesitant, last preganancy we waited until after my first ultrasound.

Enjoy that SB! Since we did a FET (and my mom financially helped us) she knew the second I was pregnant. I wish I was able to keep it just between H and I for a few weeks, but that wasn't really in the cards for us. I hope you guys can find a good compromise.

Last pregnancy I found that magnesium is great for constipation. Plus, most people are deficient anyway, so win-win! ALSO, I take it at bedtime because it can naturally help you to relax, i.e. sleep better.
Here is what I take. Someone on my last BMB swore by Natural Calm. It is another form of magnesium - same concept.
