How many weeks are you? 7w6d
Upcoming appointments? 1/15
Symptoms/how are you feeling? All day nausea/food aversion. Frequent dizziness and just so.damn.tired. That on top of a head cold have made the last few days pretty miserable
Rants/Raves: no real rants or raves so far. Just looking forward to feeling human again in 2nd tri
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) ILs got me a docking station and keyboard for my laptop. My parents gave me cash toward a monitor. H has been getting that all set up for me and I'm pretty pumped. I'm adjunct faculty at a local university and working on a grad school project and it was really difficult to work on my little laptop screen when I really need to spread out.
Upcoming appointments? Getting bloodwork done on 1/4, don't get to see the MW for first prenatal appointment until 1/20
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Mostly SO tired. I don't remember if I was THIS tired for DD's pregnancy, but even after a 1 1/2 hour nap everyday when DD takes hers I am just exhausted. Is this normal?!
Rants/Raves: Nothing really.
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) It hasn't arrived yet, but DH said he ordered me a heated back massager that you can put on a chair.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? So nauseous all the time. Very tired. Just had my first nosebleed of this pregnancy so that's fun.
Rants/Raves: I wish I could have a day to just sleep all day long.
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?). I got a fruit infusion water bottle. Not anything that was on my list, but I've been loving lemon water so it's prefect.

How many weeks are you? 5.2
Upcoming appointments? 1/15, which still seems like forever.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired, lightheaded, head rush, waves of nausea, sensitive sense of smell
Rants/Raves: I have no reason to be worried, but I am and I can't shake the feeling. I can't wait for the ultrasound to be here. I'm high risk and last pregnancy I had an ultrasound by now. This pregnancy, I don't have one until 8 weeks, which sort of annoys me. I'm just trusting that my doc knows what (and why) she's doing.
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) New clothes - I'm glad to have some new, more comfortable wardrobe staples!

How many weeks are you? 6 weeks 3 days
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow is my first ultrasound
Rants/Raves: I'm having lots and lots of anxiety. It's been so hard for us to get to this point (3 failed IUI's, failed IVF and then BFP on FET) and I just have a hard time believing that the trouble is over and things will go smoothly. I'm hoping that tomorrow will help to ease some of that anxiety, but it may just hang around for a long time. PAIF has a bunch of mantras that I keep saying to myself.
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? My parents got me a beautiful purse. It's this awesome shade of blue and just perfect.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)

How many weeks are you? 6 weeks today!
Upcoming appointments? U/S with RE on January 6th
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Finally getting MS, always tired, sore boobs but I feel less bloated!
Rants/Raves: I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. I always tell MH "if we make it to X weeks we'll do this" etc. I said it to my mom and she said "stop saying if and say when". PAIF sucks, I should be so happy now, instead I get so anxious over any ache or pain. I'll definitely feel better after first tri (I hope)
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) MH got me a kindle paper white which I love and a pasta maker so I might try to make pasta this weekend!

Hey guys! Let's start a weekly check-in to get to know each other better.
How many weeks are you? 5 weeks today
Upcoming appointments? Jan 15th for the first appt
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Occasional nausea and sore boobs. Some bloating too
Rants/Raves: I'm nervous about the first appt but my mom is coming with us so I'm excited too!
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) DH gave me a new iPhone 6s Plus for Christmas this year and so far I love it!
Our next appointment is in the 13th and I will be officially released from my RE to go to OB. He would have released me after our last appointment but neglected to get me to sign paper works releasing my file to OB office. So yay another ultrasound!
My symptoms vary by day but I think I have been figuring out how to keep the ms at bay. I had my first bout of pregnancy brain at work when I went mostly blank on how to do something.
I have started to have an appetite again and feel hungry. What a glorious feeling! I love all pregnancy symptoms. Also I rebought a pregnancy journal so I hope SO and I will start writing in it this week.
Christmas gifts. I got myself new socks and underwear and they are soooo comfortable!

Rogue go to the PAIF main page and then to the "read this" thread. There is a link to the blog there that has the mantras. It's stuff like "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby", "you can never have too many or too few symptoms", "just because it was hard to get here does not mean you will have a hard pregnancy."
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)
Upcoming appointments? Had my third beta today but I'm out of town and my re didn't receive by closing so I'm waiting for them to get it. I'm assuming my beta is over 1500 and they will schedule me for my first ultrasound at the end of the week.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? A little tired and some heartburn
Rants/Raves: see above! My bw not getting to my re when they said it would be there by 3:15 and having to run from quest to a hospital to get it done while away with family
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?)[/quote] black boots I can wear once it gets colder out and my crazy leggings won't seem so crazy
Post by thechickencoop on Dec 28, 2015 19:40:01 GMT -5
How many weeks are you? 4+6
Upcoming appointments? Haven't even scheduled yet. This morning I did cancel our RE appt that we had scheduled for Wednesday though!
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nothing at all here.
Rants/Raves: Am I actually KU? Still feeling doubtful. I think I'll pick up some cheapies tomorrow.
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) I bought myself a carpet shampooer, does that count?
Upcoming appointments? Not until Jan 22, wayyy too far away
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nausea most of the day, still breastfeeding my first and I notice painful nips
Rants/raves? Just happy to be pregnant, feeling like I need ultrasound proof though
GTKY: best gift - My mom used to get my sister and me stockings full of our favorite makeup, candy, nail polish and other odds and ends. This is our first Christmas without her and my sister got me all those little stocking gifts this year.

How many weeks are you? 6w2d
Upcoming appointments? OB intake on 12/28. I'm hoping to talk them into writing me an order for a scan, which they usually don't do.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nauseous despite Unisom+B6. Thinking of asking for Diclegis or perhaps seeing how I do without the Unisom. At least when I'm puking there's relief in between from the nausea.
Rants/Raves: my toddlers were really good travelers over our 4 days of total road tripping for the holidays and I am very grateful
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) H got me a gorgeous tunic sweater that he picked out and I love.

-unsure, but somewhere around 8w. I was measuring 5 says behind at my last ultrasound, so I may end up with a different due date.
-next appt is this Wed 12/30 with an ultrasound
-I feel awful. Nauseated most of the day. Most food sounds gross. I can't drink water without feeling sick, and normally that is all I drink. I have been very tired and taking a quick nap most days.
- I am still just so nervous and worried because of my 12 week loss. I know that no matter what this next ultrasound shows, I will still be worried for awhile. And I am anxious because of the measuring behind.
-best gift? Nothing stands out. I got some earrings and sweaters that I really like.

How many weeks are you? 8w4d
Upcoming appointments? OB appointment on Tuesday.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? I have had very few symptoms. Occasional sore boobs, occasional bouts of nausea, 1st tri exhaustion, crazy acne on chest and neck.
Rants/Raves: nothing right now
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? My husband got me Hermione's time turner from HP and the prisoner of Askaban. He also got me a bracelet that hides your hair tie. My mom got me a sweater that I love (and it fits! Lol).
TTC #1 since August 2011 DH (32): SA is ok, slightly low morph, normal SCSA Me (32): Slightly low P4, hostile CM, carrier for CF, high NKC, High TNFa, heterozyogous mutated Factor XIII, and +APA October 2012-August 2015: 4 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVFs, 2 failed FETs w/donor embryos, 1 freeze all IVF, 1 Failed FET, and 1 cancelled FET November 2015: FET w/ DEm #3 Transferred 1 perfect 6AA blast
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired all the time and bloated
Rants/Raves: husband is always complaining that I am tired like I can help it. We have been out for Christmas type events everyday for the past week and with a 6am toddler wake up I think even a non pregnant person would be tired. MH family also lives along the Mississippi River and MH and family spent the day moving farm equipment. We are all worried about the levee breaking and loosing a lot of grain/equipment. It rained 7 inches here in two days!
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) one of those outdoor gas heaters for our deck, I am always cold
Upcoming appointments? Went in today for the official "yup, you're pregnant" pee test with the nurse and got scheduled with my old nurse/midwife type (I cannot for the life of me remember her actual title) on January 6th. She was my first doctor with DD1's pregnancy 2 years ago, and she is the sweetest and most matter of fact lady, so I was thrilled to be with her again. She doesn't deliver, but my OB who picks up around the 8th month is also DD's pedi, so that relationship is pretty established. I have never had a consistent "team" of health professionals before, it feels pretty fantastic to know all the cogs are in place. One final perk: my OB is also the only one in the clinic who guarantees to deliver your baby if you have been seeing him for appts. Other folks just get whoever is on call. Which is fine, don't get me wrong! I just liked the consistency!
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Pretty okay so far, except for very minor cramping right around when implantation had to have been (and I used to scoff that people could feel that! Never again), some minor acid reflux, and that weird backwards nausea where it doesn't hit til I am halfway through my meal. Otherwise just starving every few hours.
Rants/Raves: I think my ramble up above kinda covers most of it. I wasn't sure this was the right time for #2, but I am ready to run with it and am starting to feel the excitement instead of only worrying about everything.
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? Is it cheating to pick something that wasn't even for me? DD1 is 19 mo and has taken lately to mimicking life things with her stuffed penguin, like feeding and tucking into bed, prompting my mom to say she seemed ready for a babydoll. Here comes a good family friend of my SO, without even knowing about the convo I had with my mom, gifting DD a doll, a doll stroller, and a doll playpen. DD loooooves them, and it tickled me how amazing of a gift giver this family friend is, especially when I had no notion she was planning to gift us at all. It was a really lovely surprise. (She got us a new pot n pan set, nothing too pricey or I would have felt bad, but again, such a nice addition to my meager kitchen, very thoughtful.)

How many weeks are you? 7w5d
Upcoming appointments? Ultrasound on 1/4

Rants/Raves: nobody mentions the less glamorous aspects of pregnancy. Like pissing yourself while vomiting
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) DH bought me a new brita water pitcher and filter bottle, which I'm really excited about

Rants/Raves:
GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? DH bought me a hypnobirthing book. (He knows how much I'd love to go natural this time) he said he read it in line at the store, and that it was a "quick read" that he's looking forward to helping me with.
