I had some brown spotting yesterday, but I chalked it up to irritation from the progesterone suppositories. It seems to have stopped and I haven't had any cramping. I'm just going to have to be more careful about not inserting the pills as far.
My boobs were really tender yesterday and are getting fuller. Other than that, fatigue is my only other symptom.

Are you using it with an applicator? My RE said to not use the applicator when inserting it and to wet the suppository a little since it is so dry and irritated up there. (This was before my major bleed so now I'm on oral progesterone).

Yep, I've been using an applicator, that's probably what caused the spotting. Thanks for the advice!
Just a little crampy today, still having to wake up to pee at night which is ridiculous since I am drinking my usual amt. I haven't been feeling much nausea at all which makes me feel anxious, but I keep telling myself that last time I didn't get sick until 8 weeks and to enjoy being able to eat while I can. I am anxious about being around the 6 week mark, as that is when I had bleeding last time. I really, really hope not to have any bleeding or spotting this time!

Today is a mixed bag. I got some more sleep, but I feel wiped out. I'm also feeling some tenderness (it's not quite pain, but noticeable) especially on the left side, when my bladder is full. Mostly my lower abdomen feels tender and gosh, I don't know how to describe it. It isn't painful, really, and it's not crampy, it just sort of feels swollen and tender? Like bloating, I guess, but a little different. Hopefully just some growing pains (maybe RLP? does that happen this early?). I'm paranoid about lots of things.
Nausea, man. I don't like it. I keep reminding myself it's temporary, and I know healthy baby will be worth a lot of this, and I know many women desperately want to be pregnant and would sign up for any amount of discomfort, but I'll be honest. This is wearing me down. I am tired of not feeling good (to feeling acutely bad) and I'm tired of the guilt I feel for how much DH is doing and I feel like I'm not doing enough for DD. And because I haven't had an u/s yet, I don't have any assurance that all of this is, in fact, for a healthy baby, and that's scary. I know pregnancy is making my emotions run higher (and consequently my anxiety, etc) and that is making this feel worse, but man. I am having a rough day.
My parents took us all out to my favorite restaurant tonight to celebrate my getting into grad school, so I thought it was the perfect time to tell them we're expecting. I was overwhelmed by nausea and pretty much just drank ginger ale while everyone else ate. Everyone was super excited to hear the news! I wish I could have enjoyed my food but at least all this feeling crappy is for a good cause : )
My REs office mentioned Diclegis, so I think I'm going to take a sample of that at my appointment on Tuesday. Has anyone tried it?
It's just the name brand of the b6/unisom combo. Either manderslvt or mistabinx is on it, but I can't remember who.@
@equestrienne, I'm on diclegis, and it definitely makes a difference in how I feel the next day. I've forgotten to take it a couple of nights, and can barely function the next day, whereas when I take it on schedule, as long as I keep food in my belly, I'm mostly ok. It did make me drowsy the first couple of days, and I can't take the optional daytime doses, because then I am really struggling to stay awake all day. I did try taking b6 alone in the morning in addition to diclegis at night, and the b6 dose made me nauseous...I was splitting a b6 tablet, so maybe that's why? (The diclegis tabs are coated)
edit: My insurance copay for diclegis is $30/month, and the sample that the doctor gave me had a coupon that would cover all but $30 had my insurance charged more than that.

I am having an extremely tough day too! Pretty much emotions for me. I am thinking of you!

How is the b6 physiomeg? My OB wants me to try it first since I've been completely wrecked with nausea lately. They told me 25mg three times a day and a unisom with the night dose. H says not to spend the money and just call back and in a few days and say it's not cutting it so they'll just prescribe me zofran. I'm hesitant to try it because vitamins in pill form always make me vomit. I've tried so many kinds over the years and without fail I'm ralphing 20 minutes after taking anything.
Nausea. All the nausea. I go from not wanting to eat to having wild cravings a dozen times a day. I took a two hour nap today and would have slept longer if H didn't wake me up. My heightened sense of smell finally kicked in too. I can suddenly smell everything!
Sorry for the late response, I never got the notification! I really like the b6 but I have to take it while I'm eating my dinner or else it doesn't work (needs the gastric acids to activate fully). I tried taking it at night when I take my prenatal, but it did nothing and I was still miserable.
I gag every night with my prenatal, but the b6 is much smaller and fine for me to swallow. My OB said to take 50mg 2x/day but they only sold 100mg tablets at my store, so I'm taking it once a day and it's working fine.

Hope you feel better soon!
Does it keep you awake or anything? I've heard such mixed results about it. I assumed that's why it's mixed with unisom at night. Are you not taking unisom too?
cnf2013 no it doesn't keep me awake at all and I'm not taking anything else. If anything, I'm more tired but I think that's more related to pregnancy than supplements

I feel like a total dick laying down and watching my husband do the lions share of everything around here lately so I'm right there with you on the guilt. He does it without even whining about it which we both know, if the shoe were on the other foot, I'd be a monster to deal with. I just keep thanking him for each task he does and hope that he doesn't secretly want to smother me in my sleep at night. So here's to getting to this elusive second trimester where we magically start feeling normal!
I keep having this weird mix of being hungry and nothing sounds good and I'm simultaneously nauseous. What the fuck.
I'm keeping everything crossed for a good update, lovegrilledcheese!
Sounds like me! I keep getting cravings, and then the thought of actually eating them makes me sick to my stomach and I don't want them anymore. How can something the size of a jelly bean make you feel so crappy?

I am also in the constant hungry-nothingsoundsgood-nauseous state. I just went grocery shopping and when I was done I looked at everything I bought and just went "What the fuck..?" Pregnant me should not be allowed in the grocery store. I bought a combination of carbs, craving related items, and thing that "might sit well". None of it actually makes any sense or any meals though.

I feel bad to report that I'm feeling pretty good. The nausea I felt last week is gone. Still have super sore breasts and the fun development of some side boobs... Seriously?! If you're going to grow then at least get more round! I'm also a bit emotional, MH got a tongue lashing today for being a dick. And I'm tired all the time, but I've rallied and have accomplished some things this weekend. Yay for what week 6 has to bring!

Yeah - my grocery cart yesterday contained white bread, crackers, graham crackers, ginger beer (obviously that is non-alcoholic), sweet potato fries, and Rice Krispies.
suzyq0525 I've been having a glass of metamucil twice a day and I take a probiotic daily, it has started to help the constipation. I had to miss work Friday it was so bad! But I've been able to go a few times since taking those 2 together!
Saturday I felt great! I had started the B6 and unisom combo, slept 9.5 hours and woke up only slightly queasy and even that went away. I got a lot done during the day. Started to feel cruddy at night but not too bad. Sunday woke up feeling cranky and off. Pressure in my uterus like bloating but not bloated, and no energy. Dragged myself to see the horses and see my girl ridden, which was nice, but came home to discover spotting. Ugh. Moments of nausea all day but no dry heaving. See how the work week goes. Feel back to sleep after my TWO alarms went off so had a rushed morning and really bad traffic.
Here is hoping today gets better. Tentatively ate my dairy and carb (cheese and crackers) and hoping on a settled stomach.
