How far along are you? 11w0d
How big is baby? poker chip or lime
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically - constipated. Also, I had a pelvic exam yesterday and my uterus is tilted so the Dr said to expect cramping in the next week or two as it tilts back so that should be fun. Emotionally - I am starting to feel that this is real and am actually planning for the future. I hope I'm not jinxing myself.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Had my first official OB appt yesterday. No ultrasound but they found the heartbeat on the Doppler. And the drew 6 vials of blood for prenatal testing and Panorama. NT scan on 6/26
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? I would love to do like a month in Europe. I'd like to hit Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands and Ireland at least. I've been to the UK and France so I am okay skipping those to see more that I've never seen.

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)?
Since I had an ultrasound on Friday, it feels real now! I can't stop thinking of that little heartbeat.
Physically, on and off sore pelvis and boobs, on and off nausea ETA oh yea my stomach gets really full when eating now. I kind of forget and eat like normal then it suddenly feels full and lasts for hours.
Any appointments/milestones this week?
Thursday I see my dr for my first prenatal!
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go?
I'd have to say anywhere in Europe. I haven't been there before!

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)?
Generally pretty good. A tiny bit of nausea is flaring up yesterday and today. Emotionally...well, I cried over pasta sauce on Friday, so I may be a teensy bit unstable.
Any appointments/milestones this week?
First OB appt on Thursday after graduating from the RE. It will be a short, unexciting one, but hopefully I like the office and doctor and can start talking about testing.
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go?
I'd love to take a whole Eupoean journey. Start in Scotland, and trek east all the way to Croatia.

Excited, nervous? All the things? Extremely nervous. They're identical twins. So I'm trying to avoid google so I don't scare myself with horror stories. I'm scare of 3u2. I mean I was nervous of 2u2... I'm thinking of how we will need a new car... But I'm also excited and trying not to get my hopes up too much... So yeah I'm feeling all the feels lol |

How far along are you? 6w 0d How big is baby? Maine Blueberry How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically- I'm just tired all the time. Emotionally- I'm kind of a wreck...I haven't had any morning sickness this time around & my last MC I had MS for about a week then it stopped. I made it to 6w3d last time so I'm trying to stay positive. Any appointments/milestones this week? My first apt isn't scheduled until July 25th, that is the soonest they can get me in. They usually try for 8-10 weeks as the first appt, so I am on the cancellation list. QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? Everywhere! Europe, Australia, Caribbean Read more: aplacetomeet.freeforums.net/thread/1689/weekly-check-6-12-19#ixzz4jtIAKKMZ

How far along are you? 9 weeks on the dot
How big is baby? A green olive
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Alternating between nauseous and exhausted. Emotionally, definitely a little crazy. I cried at a video I saw on FB yesterday and today I teared up when my H told me I shouldn't turn up the AC before I leave for work.
Any appointments/milestones this week? No, unfortunately.
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? I am in the mood for Hawaii today.

How far along are you? 8w3d How big is baby? A while strawberry How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? I'm ok. Still nauseous all the time but no vomiting. Mexican/Cuban food makes me want to barf. Last time it was anything fried. My boobs started hurting but it's weird pressure like when I was engorged when breastfeeding. I nursed my son for 20 months. Up to the day I took my first letozole tablet to start trying for #2. Emotionally everything makes me cry. Any appointments/milestones this week? Nope. Graduated from my RE so I won't see me OB until July 10th. They do first visit at 12 weeks. QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? We were supposed to go on a trip to Portugal this yeah and then my BFF got engaged and if having the wedding in October so we have a few trips to OR for that and Portugal got pushed back. But I'd really love to go there. Read more: aplacetomeet.freeforums.net/thread/1689/weekly-check-6-12-19#ixzz4jtLjeOfo |

thanks ironunicorn. I'm really waffling about calling and seeing if they can run my HCG levels. But it is so expensive and I don't want to be *that* person. *trigger warning & long, so sorry in advance Last spring when I had my MC I didn't even know until I went in for my appt at 10 weeks. They did an ultrasound and blood work. I didn't actually start bleeding until almost a week later. Then I ended up in the emergency room from excessive bleeding. To the point that when I was walking in to the emergency room it felt like I was peeing my pants, but it was blood running down my legs and into my shoes. I ended up with an emergency D&C. It was a bit traumatic and so expensive. We have paid out over $13,000 out of pocket in the last 2 years and I will finally have the clinic paid off next month. I think it was over $200 alone to run the HCG and the ultrasound was over $1,500. ugh |

I am doing okay, tired and hungry. Emotionally more stable since my appt but definitely cry at the drop of a dime.
No appt until July.
Right now I would love to travel to Texas, see my bff and eat lots and lots of Mexican food. I miss tx.

How far along are you? 10w 5d
How big is baby? tart kumquat?
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Still nauseous in the morning, thank god for zofran. I had a partial seizure on Saturday so I'm on the journey of medication increases, again. Emotionally, I tear up at te drop of a hat.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Had a neurologist appointment yesterday. Med increase, lab in 10 days. She has a range she wants to keep me in so I'm anticipating a lot of adjustments and lab work. OB next week.
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? Probably Australia. It just sounds fun.

stephne, that sounds horrifying. At 6w, I don't know if I'd bother with an HCG, personally, but an ultrasound sometime in the next week would go a long way toward easing your fears, I'd think. Surely knowing your history, your doctor would be more lenient in bringing you in earlier? Can you reach out to your doctor directly?

ironunicorn that's what I was wondering, if there would even be a drop in levels yet. Hmm, maybe I will call my doc and see what they say

How far along? Either 7 weeks, 6 weeks, or 4 weeks lol
I'm feeling pretty good. Mainly just hungry which was how I was with DS. Especially first thing in the morning. I'm like MUST. EAT. Emotionally I'm also pretty good but we put our dog down yesterday so lots of tears over that.
I'd love to travel to Australia!!
ETA no appointment this week - dating ultrasound next Friday the 23rd!

How far along? I'm 8w4d
Still feeling all day nausea that's just bad enough to ruin your day but not enough to actually vomit. Also my boobs/nipples are starting to hurt more again.
Emotionally I'm doing better. I still have a bit to go to get to our last milestone but I'm not too anxious over it. I have begun thinking about this baby and the future a lot more which is nice. Also cry at pretty much everything - especially at all of the golden state basketball players carrying around their babies/kids after winning the championship LOL
No appointment until next Wednesday
I would love to go back to Ireland. MH is from a small town there and it's my favourite place I've been to so far. Also would love to go to bali

How far along are you? 9w1d
How big is baby? A southern pecan
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Still so tired. The nausea is getting better but I had the stomach flu last weekend which was absolutely terrible. We had company all weekend which wore me out & we have more this weekend so I'm trying to gear up for that.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Nope-- but next week is our first appointment!! Most of our family knows by now & we are telling our bible study group tonight.
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? Europe! Travelled all over in college and it was so awesome.

How far along are you? Either 6+2 or 7
How big is baby? Either a sweet pea or a blueberry
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically I'm feeling nauseous all day, every day. Also some dry heaving, but no actual vomiting yet. Emotionally I'm nervous, but optimistic. I switched doctors last week and I'm super happy with that choice. I liked my old doctor, but her nurse was awful.
Any appointments/milestones this week? I had an ultrasound last Friday that showed the gestational sac and yolk sac, but no fetal pole. The gestational sac was measuring at 5+5. Based off ovulation I thought I was 6+3, but the doctor said the egg could have been fertilized late and that would account for the couple day difference. I had a nurse intake appointment with some routine blood work on Monday. That went well and she said the doctor is really happy with progress so far, so we'll keep our fingers crossed. I got back in 2 weeks for a repeat ultrasound and my first OB appointment.
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? I would love to go to Italy. I want to see the Vatican and travel all around Rome and Greece and Sicily. That whole Mediterranean area.

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Ok. Still really tired. As long as I don't get too hungry I feel ok. I'm a little nervous about my panorama test.
Any appointments/milestones this week? No, nothing else this week
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? This is hard to choose. Top of list is south or France or Hawaii right now.

I'm sorry for your loss stephne and on top of that huge bills add insult to injury. I agree that an hcg won't help you much at 6 weeks. I was able to call and get an ultrasound early to help with my anxiety. It might be worth asking. |

How big is baby? Wild Strawberry?
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? The good ultrasound on Friday helped a decent amount, but I'm still not feeling connected. I'm exhausted and queasy and I think I have some reflux going on. Currently watching some of last year's episodes of So You Think You Can Dance with my girls and it's totally making me cry.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Nope.
QOTW: If you could travel anywhere (cost doesn't matter), where would you go? I'd love to see Greece and Norway, but I'd also like to be on a beach at an all inclusive resort.

Pretty good. My boobs are sore, and I was really tired last week. Luckily the tiredness is settling down.

My first beta hcg from Friday (4w5) came back at 141, and I went this afternoon for a follow up beta. I hope to have the results tomorrow.

stephne I'm really sorry that happened to you. It's an awful thing to go through to begin with plus the added drama and then the excessive medical bills. I don't want to be nosy but that amount to pay is unlawful imo. We had to pay $1500 for mine in the end of March and I said to my husband how terrible that someone going through the horribleness of a m/c now has to deal with the heft of the financial burden that they were not expecting. Big hugs to you.
