What symptoms are you having? intermittent nausea and aversions, sore nipples, exhaustion, and *TMI* white discharge
Do you have any appointments this week? Nope, first one is April 7th.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Easter dinner with H's whole family was tough yesterday! We had planned to do our tried and true beer bottles in a coozie trick but when we got to the house, H's uncle insisted on pouring his beer into a glass. So I just went without a drink the whole time. I'm sure people noticed, but whatever. We almost broke down and decided to tell everyone but we are seeing my parents next weekend and really want to tell them in person so we held off. I hate keeping secrets, you guys.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? I like what starbuck27 said; I'd like to be able to learn new skills, topics, languages, etc. within a few seconds. Like in The Matrix where they uploaded the kung fu into Neo.

Do you have any appointments this week? No
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Glad our families know we are expecting! It was hard keeping the secret.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? Teleportation, mainly because I'm impatient and would love to be somewhere instantly.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I am sick, so that sucks.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? Fly. Because then I could fly, that's why.

Weeks: 5+1
Size: lavender bud - chose the French bakery theme on Ovia bc I liked this week's selection, but will have to change it as soon since I'm gluten free and that'd be cruel.
Symptoms: exhaustion, some constipation, and feeling out of breathe after minimal activity
Appts: first blood draw on Thurs
Rants/Raves: just trying to remember what I can't/should eat...no complaints yet!
Superpower: ability to teleport - we could move out of this nutty HCOL area and still could get to work!
tallblonde do you have Celiac or are you GF by choice?
Not celiac but have a gluten sensitivity and have an immune response to it. My symptoms were IBS like, anxiety, and getting sick a lot. I know some people say this doesn't exist, but I want those people to see me 20 min after eating it by mistake, it's a combo of a massive stomachache, almost blacking out, and wanting to throwup. I wouldn't be gf just for the hell of it, there are no good gf bagels out there!
I am currently also dairy free which was an attempt for fertility and it may have helped - but I am planning to add it back in gradually since I dropped some weight and need some more food options, specifically Breyer's Mint Choc chip ice cream:)
What symptoms are you having? Sore boobs, tiredness
Do you have any appointments this week? No, I won't see my midwife until week 10.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? We normally wait until after our first appointment to announce to family and friends. I'm dying to tell someone. I'm considering telling my BFF and swearing her to secrecy.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? Mind reading, but only if I could turn it on when I wanted.

danib ugh I'm sorry you have celiac, how long have you been gf? I hear it can be so hard to diagnosis.
It's good and bad that it is trendy since there are more options, but not everyone takes it seriously since it's just a choice for some people. I didn't mean to be defensive, just used to people thinking I'm on some fad diet.

How many weeks are you? 5w 4d
What is your baby the size of? chocolate chip (i'm guessing this measures the whole sac....) or a nerd.
What symptoms are you having? Nausea that comes and goes, some pulling and cramping, my boobs are SOOOO sore, and also very VERY hot to the touch. Also peeing all the time, and craving all the veggies and hamburgers. But not cheese. cheese is gross. Just the patty.
Do you have any appointments this week? Blood draw tomorrow to check betas and progesterone levels
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I keep wavering between super excited and then worried and then excited. I know some of this is PGAL brain and a lot is hormones.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? I would love to be able to stop or speed up time. So I could read all the books and learn everything!

How many weeks are you? 7w1d
What is your baby the size of? tic tac
What symptoms are you having? nausea and vomiting, food aversions, lack of appetite, tiredness
Do you have any appointments this week? Nope, first appointment is next Wednesday
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm not keeping anything down, and although I've had this in prior pregnancies (and lost a fair amount of weight in first tri with my youngest two), I still worry a little because I'm not getting nearly enough calories. I'm also still breastfeeding my youngest, so she's getting some of the nutrients I do manage to take in.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? I'd love to be able to read minds (but only if I could turn it on and off at will!).
D16 has a few posts from TWW-ers who "don't go here yet but want to." I guess this is a common thing, I'm just not sure why?
It's actually quite common, kind of like wishful thinking, holding your place, marking your spot. I know I did it once or twice... and then figured it jinxed me LOL! (I've got weird superstitions) Like peanutmuse said, at least they aren't claiming they are pregnant without a BFP, just hoping that that board will be their BMB. I'm sure if you go back to the first few threads of this board there are several who marked their spot on this board.

There were. And this has been a common theme for years. I still think it's weird, personally. Totally NMS.
What is your baby the size of? I've seen appleseed and sesame seed which are 2 different sizes... so I'm not sure
What symptoms are you having? Nauseous, tired, nauseous, still some cramping, sore/heavy boobs
Do you have any appointments this week? Not till April 13th
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Dh is gone back to work, won't be home till the end of April and I'm nervous because last time, I couldn't cook for myself without wanting to get sick.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? Teleportation so I could be with DH for even a few hours a day when he's at work. Or in this case, be with my mommy when I don't feel good. LOL

I called dibs here. I was trying to take a positive approach for my FET. I was always so negative before but I just forced myself into a "this is going to work" mindset. It's a little weird but *shrug*.
What symptoms are you having? Nausea, tender breast, fatigue, ETA: bloating Do you have any appointments this week? I get a phone call from my OB's office for a prenatal interview on Thursday
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I don't have a lot of cravings yet and that kind of bums me out. However, I'm not having food aversions either so that's a win.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? Breath underwater. I've always had dreams that I could do it and think it would be a good one. Teleportation would be pretty cool as well as would the ability to time travel. Teleportation because I want to get from point a to point b quickly sometimes. Time travel because I would like to know what really happened in history and see the future.
What symptoms are you having? Last weeks queasiness has mostly subsided and I am so so grateful! Every now and then it'll crop up but right now feeling good. Green veggies and oils still bother me, but I've managed to get a lot of these nutrients in a morning smoothie. Boobs are a good size larger, sore at night but that part comes and goes.
Do you have any appointments this week? 2nd U/S tomorrow !!
Rants/Raves/Randoms: Just hoping I stay feeling this wonderful throughout the entire pregnancy. As a FTM, and with twins, I feel like there's so much to learn. I've been reading about delivery with twins, breastfeeding with twins, finances with twins etc etc and I'm officially on overload. I can't wait until we share publicly so I can reach out to my friends who are moms of multiples.
QOTW: I'd have the power to travel to any place and time to see the world, cultures, ways of life

A hopeful PUPO post is different than the ZOMG-I-really-hope-I-go-here post, IMHO.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I spent the past 6 days in beta limbo and it was torture. They didn't double or even come close to doubling within the first 48 hours, but eventually doubled (and then some) in the next 72 hour gap. But it took until this morning for my clinic to email me my results from Saturday's betas, which was super stressful. But, all is well, thank goodness!
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? The ability to eat whatever I wantand not gain weight. Is that a super power? I'm making it one.
What symptoms are you having? Boobs are still kind of sore, and getting cramping off and on throughout the day.
Do you have any appointments this week? Nope. First appt is 4/12
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I wish I could have a week off so I could focus on organizing the house. I am so tired when I get home from work that I just really don't want to do anything at night.
QOTW - if you could have a super power, what would it be and why? Definitely teleportation. I would have so much more time in my fat if I did not have to commute places. Plus think of how much money I would save?
