Thanks for starting remi! When is your due date/How far along are you? 4 weeks and 1 day How big is baby? Poppyseed Team Girl / Boy / Green? We’ll decide that later Any Upcoming Appointments? I have my second beta this afternoon. I’m very nervous about this, so if y’all could send prayers, thoughts, good wishes, whatever my way, I would definitely appreciate it. Symptoms? Fatigue, some nausea at times, nips hurt, feel bloated sometimes. Some cramping too, which makes me nervous. Of course these could be from the progesterone I’m on. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Having a good beta would be a huge milestone for me. I didn’t test at all over the weekend because I didn’t want to stress about the color of the lines, and I wanted to enjoy being pregnant. I have a test brewing now that is definitely darker than my 12DPO test, but isn’t as dark as I would like it to be. I’m so scared that yet again, this won’t end well. GTKY: what are some favorite show(s)?: I love Bones, Grey’s Anatomy, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, The Handmaid’s Tale, and some others I can’t think of right now.

Thanks for starting remi. When is your due date/How far along are you? I think March 25ish based on LMP. How big is baby? Sesame seed Team Girl / Boy / Green? We will find out, I'm a planner. Any Upcoming Appointments? I'm going to call a new doctor this morning to see if I can get in. I just have some bad memories at the last place and want to try somewhere new. Symptoms? Slight nausea and food aversions (coffee, eggs, meat), I was looking up a recipe for collard greens and kale because we got some in our CSA farm box, and the idea of bacon with green veg made me want to 🤮. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Not really a rant, but I lurked the Bump's BMB and they have a post with rules such as no pee stick pics, no creating a thread asking a question if it is only for yourself, etc. With my DD I lurked a long time and followed to TCF and finally joined, no wonder I found it intimidating! GTKY: fav TV shows: Downton Abbey, This Old House, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Call the Midwife, I used to watch the Bachelor, need to get back into it!

When is your due date/How far along are you? Due date is March 27 and I am 4 weeks 5 days along. How big is baby? Baby is a poppy seed going into a sesame seed. Team Girl / Boy / Green? Team find out! Any Upcoming Appointments? Aug 3 for a confirm pregnancy Symptoms? I feel bloated, slightly tired, slight breast tenderness. And that’s really it. I feel kind of heavy in my uterus if that makes sense? But no real cramps anymore. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I know I shouldn’t read into symptoms or the lack thereof but I can’t help it. GTKY: what are some favorite show(s)?: The handmaids tale, the 100, and I watch different realty tv because I love a good trashy, mindless tv.

When is your due date/How far along are you? March 21 / 5w4d
How big is baby? BB Pellet
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Finding out for sure
Any Upcoming Appointments? I'm supposed to have another beta today to see if my levels are high enough for an u/s. Waiting on my nurse to call me back and confirm.
Symptoms? Exhaustion. Sore boobs. Everything makes me cry.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm really frustrated with my nurse. She called last Monday with my beta results (good) but told me about the referral to the other Dr and supplements to start taking but couldn't tell me why (seriously?). So she said she'd talk to my doctor and call me back. I left a message Tues AM, no call back. Left another message Thurs AM, no call back. So I'm really hoping she calls back today 🙄 it's not normal not to get a same day call back so I'm frustrated that I've been left in the dark for a week. Not like I'm already freaking out about everything anyways. Ugh. Okay rant over. I'm also struggling with the lack of and coming/going of symptoms. I kind of hate knowing that if something's wrong I won't start bleeding with the progesterone, it makes me feel like it's just prolonging bad news. So today is a low day but I'm hoping for great betas today and getting in for an early u/s soon 🤞 *Hope does not make bad things happen. Hope does not make bad things happen.*
GTKY: what are some favorite show(s)?: Oh man we watch a lot of tv. The Office. Grey's. New Girl. Parks & Rec. Trashy reality shows. Dessert shows.

orangehibiscus 🤞🤞 for good betas today! Will you get the results today? And I've had pretty much all the same symptoms, cramps all the time that always turn out to be gas (my body must be adjusting to the new supplements I'm taking 😬) that freak me out.

pambee, orangehibiscus, I hope you both get the good news on your betas really soon! and pambee I'm so irritated that you still haven't received any more information on why you have to take what they told you to. And that they haven't responded to your attempts at more information. I really hope they call you back today. Is it the same office that you're getting the betas from? Or is that just specifically from the lab?

When is your due date/How far along are you? March 6, 7+5
How big is baby? A raspberry
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments? Should get a referral to my new ob team soon. Also happen to have a genetics appt this week, have been waiting over a year on this referral but once they found out I am pregnant I jumped the whole queue. We’re being tested for a syndrome that runs on the paternal side of my family. Bonus is that it may make our prenatal testing covered!
Symptoms? Exhaustion I can’t even describe. Think mastitis + a hangover. I cry sometimes about how tired I am.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
GTKY: what are some favorite show(s)?:
I’m re-watching Schitt$ Creek and it makes me belly laugh. Usually I’m big on british crime dramas but I don’t have the brain cells for that right now.

Or is that just specifically from the lab? I go to a separate lab for the bloodwork, but my OB nurse is the one who needs to call me back to confirm she sent the orders in. So I *should* hear back from her today regardless. If she doesn't call by lunchtime I'm going to call again when they reopen after lunch. I'm pretty fed up at this point and feeling like I'm not a priority (I don't need to be top priority or anything, but I do expect not to be ignored 😑).

And I've had pretty much all the same symptoms, cramps all the time that always turn out to be gas (my body must be adjusting to the new supplements I'm taking 😬) that freak me out. Yes! I get results about 30 min to 1 hour after they draw my blood. I have a phone password, so I call in for the results. I don’t have cramps all the time, only sometimes. Gah this stress sucks!!

Beta is 123! That’s a doubling time of 50.6 hours. I really hope the RE’s office is happy with that. I will have another beta on Wednesday.

When is your due date/How far along are you? March 21 (see I got it right this week) 5w4d
How big is baby? Peppercorn
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Team Find Out
Any Upcoming Appointments? I'm still working on scheduling my appointment since the only openings for new pregnancy appointments are for next week when I'm out of town. I called today and my OB was at the other office and the receptionist was not super helpful and I didn't feel like playing phone tag so I'll call back tomorrow. I'd like to at least touch base especially with my miscarriage history.
Symptoms? I'm exhausted and the nausea seems to come in waves. It gets worse as the day goes on.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I already ranted about the doctor above. Can I rave about my DH? He's been great about taking over all the stinky jobs like doing the dishes.
GTKY: what are some favorite show(s)?: The Office, Game of Thrones, Parks and Rec, Jane the Virgin, Project Rubway and my guilty pleasure show is Americas next top model

Talked to the RE’s nurse this morning (had my beta drawn late in the day yesterday). She was pleased with the rise! She said we’ll do another beta tomorrow. If that looks good, they will schedule an US!

I'm sure I'll be talking about it because I'm obsessed with the show! My favorite character is no longer on the show, but it was Mickey. And Kev/ V are definitely another fave! Can't stand Debbie though. lol I'll have to sign up for Showtime too because I don't have that channel. My H will not be pleased but he's knows its happening.

I have a call in to my OB. Last night and today I’m having sharp pains that come and go on my right side. I feel like it’s either an ectopic or a cyst. But I’m a little scared.

But this is just one sided and has been pretty sharp.

But this is just one sided and has been pretty sharp. Its not overdramatic to go to the ER when there’s worry about the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If you aren’t getting a timely response from your doctor you might need to. I don’t want to scare you but they can be very serious. Doctors would always rather be overly cautious than miss something really serious. At 5 weeks it’s worth an ultrasound because they should be able to see a gestational sac (not much more) and confirm its location to rule out an ectopic. ❤️ I hope my words don’t sound cold, I’m trying to find the balance between being calmly supportive and being like girl you are worth an ER trip get checked out!!
