How many weeks? A cookie AND a donut to anyone who guesses right...my appt is today hopefully we will know soon enough.
EDD? ...Is this a trick question.
Next Appointment? TODAY...Its kind of bittersweet. Its an ultrasound to see if my squish is still growing and is actually there. I am all over the place..my husband might want to send me to a Psych ward soon. But hopefully with answers we can move on.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? This is the crappy part..if squish isn't there than the nausea...the heartburn..hotflashes..are well evil. I completely will take all of it and more if squish just decides to show its peanut head..maybe some HB action..
Rants/Raves? HOTFLASHES...Sweating like crazy last night. This morning I get up to get my daughter ready for daycare. Almost passed out from the heat at her changing table. I did not have these with her..this is new and I am not a fan.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? Yeah about that...I have not a clue and I might make heart shaped pankcakes..maybe. My MIL will be here so maybe a couple chocolate hearts.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nausea, always hungry, RLP started up this week, hot flashes
Rants/Raves? It feels to early for me to be showing but my gut is swollen and it never lets up.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? We don't really do Vday but we will go to a church couples dinner on the next Saturday.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Overall, I feel okay. Boobs constantly hurt. Sometimes I feel like I have a little trouble breathing. Really exhausted. All stuff I can handle.
Rants/Raves? I've got nothing today.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? I'm one of those people who hates Valentine's Day.
WineNChocolate, FX for your appointment today! Sending good thoughts
How many weeks? 10 weeks
EDD? 9/5/16
Next Appointment? Tomorrow!
Symptoms/how are you feeling? I am not feeling too bad, just super tired now and peeing all the time.
Rants/Raves? Since I stopped progesterone and estrogen, nausea has pretty close to disappeared and it is freaking me out. We will get answers tomorrow. See today's randoms post to see my rant against my MIL who can't keep any secrets.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? We don't do much. Usually get each other some chocolates and a card. Some times we go out to dinner, some times we make a fancy dinner in.
Me: 28, all tests normal DH: 34, very low count, motility, morphology DX - MFI 11/14/09 - Married 01/01/14 - TTC #1 01/06/15 - Started working with RE 04/06/15 - Recommendation - straight to IVF w/ICSI 09/04/15 - Started working with new RE Nov/Dec 15 - IVF w/ ICSI #1 - 11R/8F - 1 transferred, 3 frozen
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Still very nauseous - it's gotten much better since it peaked early/mid last week, but I woke up in the middle of the night last night, got up to pee, and suddenly felt like I was going to throw up and/or pass out. The feeling passed quickly, but it was scary. I'm still tired all the time, sore boobs, hot flashes.
Rants/Raves? We're finally entering real winter here in the Northeast - snow storm on Friday and another today. DD doesn't love playing in the snow, which makes it tough to entertain her during the winter - we end up at the local Children's Museum most weekends.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? We've never been big Valentine's Day people. It is DD's half-birthday, though, so maybe we'll do something to celebrate that.

How many weeks? 6+3
EDD? 9/30
Next Appointment? 3/14
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired, hungry, weird nausea if I don't eat frequently enough.
Rants/Raves? Had a dream last night that I started spotting & was about to lose the pregnancy, so I woke up all freaked out and I stil feel unsettled.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? We don't really do anything for V Day, I prefer to do something special for anniversaries/birthdays, etc.
WineNChocolate everything crossed for you! I hope your appointment is early so you don't have more waiting.
How many weeks? 6+5
EDD? Sept. 28th
Next Appointment? Feb. 22nd, only 2 more weeks to wait.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nausea is getting worse, tired, nursing is a little more uncomfortable. Of course nausea wasn't quite as bad this morning so I got freaked out, buy my coffee still tastes gross so that makes me feel better.
Rants/Raves? Not much, just more waiting.
GTKY: We were supposed to go out to dinner last weekend but it fell through. We bought a treadmill and said that was our present to each other - so romantic. I should probably get DD something...
Good luck to day WineNChocolate. Everything crossed for you!
mrsjene - I had a period of time while walking the other night that I was having a bit of trouble breathing. It almost felt like my asthma acting up, but I know it wasn't my asthma. Interesting to know this is apparently a pregnancy thing.
Next Appointment? Friday at 1:30pm for family/medical history and potentially the blood draw for blood work
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Fatigue is still the big one for me. Nausea off and on some days, but thankfully mostly just a queasy feeling. Bloating enough I've stopped buttoning my jeans. Boobs are getting sore and seem a bit fuller, and constipation if I don't eat fruit daily.
Overall though I really can't complain. I'm feeling quite lucky that fatigue is the worst I need to deal with on a daily basis.
Rants/Raves? Nothing really today. Just that my next u/s is 2 weeks from Thursday and it can't get here fast enough because after that we're finally telling our families.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? I have never been a fan of Valentine's Day. Ever. I'll get MH a card and he'll get me a card, and that will be about it.
Good luck to day WineNChocolate . Everything crossed for you!
mrsjene - I had a period of time while walking the other night that I was having a bit of trouble breathing. It almost felt like my asthma acting up, but I know it wasn't my asthma. Interesting to know this is apparently a pregnancy thing.
It's like sometimes I feel like I can't get a deep enough breath. I don't necessarily have asthma, but this is how I feel when one of my airways constricts when it's humid out. It usually happens at the beginning of every summer, then goes away. It's a very similar feeling.

That's exactly what it felt like for me too. Like there was a wall in my lungs and I could only inhale so deeply. Wasn't too thrilled it happened now since I can't imagine how it will feel when baby is actually squishing everything in there.
That does not sound fun at all with the humidity. I'm glad it goes away at least.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Still a lot of vomiting and really tired. It's really hard to pretend I'm not feeling like shit at work. It will be nice when I can finally tell people.
Rants/Raves? I'm having to wear dresses to work every day because my work pants don't fit with the bloat and I'm not ready to bust out the maternity pants.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? H and I are going to lunch and a movie on either Friday or Monday when DS is at daycare. We're just doing cards this year, no gifts.

Wishing you the best for your appointment today WineNChocolate!
How many weeks? 9+4
EDD? 9/8
Next Appointment? 9/12. Or 9/11. I'm spacing on it right now.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired. Nausea, but I've made it two whole days with no vomiting. Maybe I'm turning the corner. I've had some painful cramping last night and this morning though. No bleeding at all though, so I'm putting my feet up and hoping I'm being a wuss about my uterus expanding.
Rants/Raves? I have a class this semester where all of our work is done as a group (when all my classes are online). It's doing nothing for my stress levels right now.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? Tiny human, with my help, made valentines for various family members. We're getting him a big stuffed Elsa doll that we found on sale and probably a card. I have no idea what I'll do for Mr. Zombie. I made him a broquet with beer and his favorite candies last year. Mr. Zombie will probably get me some kind of candy.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? The usual, tired, dizzy, nauseous, irritable as hell
Rants/Raves? Everything annoys me today, I'm trying to avoid human contact.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? DH and I have a tradition of getting pizza and good beer, I guess it's pizza and seltzer for me this year.
Good luck to day WineNChocolate . Everything crossed for you!
mrsjene - I had a period of time while walking the other night that I was having a bit of trouble breathing. It almost felt like my asthma acting up, but I know it wasn't my asthma. Interesting to know this is apparently a pregnancy thing.
Ditto here - I walk up a flight of stairs every day to my office. The last few weeks, that flight of stairs leaves me feeling winded at the top, like I just sprinted up them or something. It's been happening since a few days after my BFP.
I wonder if it has something to do with the whole increased blood flow thing? Maybe causing an increase in blood pressure?
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nausea is still going strong. Also heart burn. And I have this mega zit growing on my right cheekbone that refuses to just go away. Possibly not pregnancy related.
Rants/Raves? Not much to report. Just eagerly counting down the days to our first appointment next Monday.
GTKY: We've decided on dinner and Deadpool for V-day. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy dinner and not be nauseous all through it.
How many weeks? 10w1d EDD? 9/4 Next Appointment? Friday Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired and nauseous Rants/Raves? People are already rubbing my belly and telling me how much I'm showing already lol. It's bloat people. GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids. Me and DH are going on a date. I will get him a card and some kind of candy.

How many weeks? 6w5d
EDD? Sept. 28
Next Appointment? Tomorrow
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Crampy, nauseous and tired
Rants/Raves? Not really. Just so over bed rest.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? I haven't even thought about it. DH and I usually do a nice dinner at home, but I won't be able to cook. So, probably takeout. We also usually get eat other chocolate covered popcorn from a local chocolate shop. Yummmm. I probably should Amazon prime the kid something, too.

That's what I've been thinking - I get short of breath much more easily now, and I also have found that any time I lie down (or just focus on my breathing), my heart feels like it's pounding.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Finally feeling symptoms. MS all day/weekend. That's what I get for wishing I would feel some symptoms.
Rants/Raves? I am so hungry. All the time. All I can do is eat.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? We are trading off with my sister to watch kiddos and then DH and I are going out on a date. Not sure where yet though.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired, but I can't tell if it's because of being pregnant or up late with DD. I was nauseous for the first time yesterday afternoon and then again this morning. That decreased my ravenous appetite!
Rants/Raves? It's Monday?
GTKY: This is the holiday where I let MH put forth the effort. He sends me flowers to work and gets me a sweet card, and hopefully he'll take me out to dinner. I'll just put out.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Last week I felt like death. So far things are on the upswing this week. I have a lot more energy and the nausea is gone. Boobs are still sore and I have a hard spot on my abdomen but other than that I feel good.
Rants/Raves? Nothing today.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? My mom is watching DS and we're going out to dinner. Possibly a movie. H and I don't really get each other anything for v-day. I got DS some candy.
WineNChocolate, so many happy thoughts coming your way! pismoduo, My H would love those Valentine's plans! He's been waiting 10 years for this movie.
How many weeks? According to due date, which is what I'm going off of, cuz why not, 9+0.
EDD? 9/12
Next Appointment? 18th OB grilling appointment. I'll be making my decision about whether I think I can have the labor and delivery I want with a doula at our hospital or if I need to look into a birthing center. I would REEEEEALLY like to be able to labor at the hospital but I don't want anyone to lie to me and tell me I'll be able to do things that isn't realistic.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? I feel very lucky that mostly my symptoms are fatigue and a little bit of nausea if I don't eat regularly. Oh and bloat. My blump is hardcore.
Rants/Raves? Went to the dentist today and got to confidently tell them I'm KU. I've been trying to find the heartbeat on Doppler and will feel much better when I can consistently find it. It's early, so nothing yet but I'm still trying about every other day.
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? I didn't think we had plans but apparently we do, and they are a surprise. I'm not romantic or touchy feely AT ALL, so this is all my H. He's so good to me. I'm excited to find out where we're going. I'm secretly hoping it's Texas Roadhouse because #rolls.

AH! How did I miss that you were over here too?!
Anyway - H and I haven't been like waiting for it or anything, but the trailers look hilarious, and we tend to do a low key V day anyway, so movie it is.

How many weeks? We will find out this week. Thinking 8ish
EDD?
Next Appointment? We have a dating ultrasound on Thursday at 2:30pm.
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Symptoms are getting better. Less Nausea. I want to eat EVERYTHING this week.
Rants/Raves? DH was told he is going to be going a few states over for work in a few weeks. I hope I make it through it. Between pumping, filling the wood stove, plowing/shoveling snow, and the boys - I'm afraid for my sanity. I can do it!
GTKY: So the hallmark day of love approaches..any idea what your doing? Getting your spouse..your kids? We don't do anything. I hope to have DS1 make something for his cousins and my parents. We will see.
Next Appointment? 2/17 - Excited to get an ultrasound. I feel like it's not really real until I see a heartbeat
Symptoms/how are you feeling? Night sweats, generally feeling tired, a little nauseous, and i think the heartburn started kicking in yesterday (I don't remember it coming so early last time). But overall this is much more mild than last time. Maybe I was just hyper sensitive and nervous about what to expect the first time around.
Rants/Raves? I forgot to mention the extreme hunger. It's out of control! I really want to keep my weight under control this time around, but I'm having a difficult time not eating everything in sight. Luckily I also started waking up at 5am again, so this morning i got my ass in a spin class. Hoping I can keep that up!
GTKY: Getting taxes done, so romantic Hopefully we don't owe anything. We have a sitter for the day, so we may go bowling or to a movie.
Next appointment: 02/26 for repeat bloods to check if thyroid meds are working, then 03/09 for NT scan!
Symptoms/Rants combined: I have been feeling so so rotten, much worse than I remember feeling with DD - just seriously exhausted and queasy. I've also had a bad cough and (TMI) the runs for a couple of days now. Feeling pretty sorry for myself! Especially because DH is working away this week.
GTKY: probably won't do a lot, maybe go out for dinner. Valentine's isn't such a huge deal where we live.
