Week: 5w0d- Orange Seed/ EDD May 20

STM.

Symptoms: I could sleep forever and my boobs hurt worse than usual. Horrible bloat today- maybe I ate too much salt yesterday. also feel a little short of breath. No nausea yet.

Milestones: Nothing specific

Appointments: I have an US/appt scheduled for Oct 11.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I hope this bloat isn’t here to stay. I’m hoping not to have to bust out the belly band/maternity stuff anytime soon.

Questions: None

GTKY: Fall is my favorite! Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love the decor and the promise of cool evenings. I’m in Florida so we don’t get much with season changes but I still love it. And I get to plant my tomatoes, peppers and salad geeens soon!

@starzia it’s been hard not to tell anyone. Obviously my H knows. My M15 BMB knows. Three friends know and that’s it. These are women I would tell if I had a MC.

My parents and my sisters don’t know yet and I prefer it that way for now although it is hard not to talk about. I don’t know if I would tell them if I had a MC.

My OB office doesn’t make us watch a video. That seems a little overkill especially for STM+ but maybe they have a population of patients it makes sense for?

Week/Fruit: 6+3/Maine blueberry

FTM/STM/TTM, etc: TTM

Symptoms: Nausea, such bad nausea. Sensitive nose. Food aversions. Peeing a lot.

Appointments: not till 10 weeks

Milestones: n/a

Rants/Raves/Venting: I really want to tell my parents, because I want to talk thing out with them, and have some support (we have not told anyone). But if I tell my parents, then it is only fair to tell MIL, but she has proven in the past that we need to wait to tell her. I hate that she ruins stuff like this with her need to tell everyone right away.

Questions: n/a

GTKY: What’s your favorite season? Spring! I love the weather warning up, but not too hot yet, and the days getting longer!

Week:fruit: 6+2

STM

Symptoms: nausea, sore boobs, just feeling off

Appointment: Today! Baby measured right on track and we heard the heartbeat! I'm so happy

Rants/raves/venting: a lot of people already know I'm pregnant since I told a few about our going to see an RE. Honestly it's been kind of relief instead of waiting so long like we did the first time. I've even told 3 of my friends at work and that's been a huge relief because my job can be pretty physically demanding (nurse) so they've been very helpful.

I do feel kind of bad that my inlaws will find out later than my family but my family has been way more supportive of our infertility journey so I feel like it's fair they find out a little sooner.
courtniko, you should just tell your parents if that's what you want to do. If she can't respect your wishes she gets to find out when everyone else does!

GTKY: probably summer but I also love fall and Christmas lol.
