Week/Fruit/EDD: 8w/wild strawberry/Oct 14
FTM, Etc: STM (my son R is 3.5)
Appointments: Tomorrow!
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Finding out ASAP
Milestones: First appt coming up, that's the biggest one! I feel like I'll finally be able to relax once I have this appt.

Raves: It's finally time for my appt! I'm so excited. My loss brain has been having a hard time thinking this is real, so I'll be so happy to get some confirmation.
GTKY: What is the best concert you've ever been to? Concert-going is one of my hobbies, and I have been to SO many that it's hard to narrow this down. Honestly, this question is stressing me out. LOLOLOL

babystandish I LOVE Manchester Orchestra! I had tickets to see them about 10 years ago (? jeez, has it been that long?! I'm old) when they opened for Brand New and my friend forgot to bring her ticket and with all the drama we missed them. I was so pissed! But after the show we went to the bar across the street and they were there hanging out. My friend and I spent the rest of the night hanging out and drinking with Andy Hull and he was SO NICE. We spent most of the time talking about his wife. Anyway, I think I've missed them every time I've tried to see them and I'm so mad about it. Jealous of you!

moonandback141 that concert experience sounds amazing! I once did a personal tour for Mark Hoppus and his wife and son so in return, he gave a coworker and me free tickets to his show. We got to sit in the VIP area but it was a bit of a bummer because we ended up having to stand behind their family members and couldn't see much. But we did get to see the Sum41 guys and Rob Dyrdek hanging out nearby!

Week/Fruit/EDD: 10w3d, a kumquat?, 9/27
FTM, Etc: 4thTM
Appointments: 3/12! Finally made one 😁
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Honestly, I'm leaning toward finding out now. I realized how much baby stuff we got rid of after #3 and knowing would be helpful in getting prepared!
Milestones: 1/4 of the way done!
Symptoms: Nausea, peeing all the time, super tired, basically no energy, irritable (though it's getting a little better now that I can take my vitamin D supplements again).
Rants: Just over food aversions. I want to eat healthy again.
Raves: I made it the whole weekend without throwing up!
GTKY: What is the best concert you've ever been to? Hmm I don't know if it counts but my best one was probably the Life Is Beautiful festival we went to 5 years ago. There were so many amazing bands but my favorite to see was Imagine Dragons. Those guys put on one helluva show! Plus, they're a hometown band so it was even better.

stayingblonde wow that’s still awesome! Manchester Orchestra is one of my favorite bands and once I saw them live it made me love them even more! I saw them probably like 7-8 years ago and would love to see them again. I never go to concerts anymore though. Maybe one day.

And since I've gotten old and get grouchy about standing up for too long or staying up too late. #grandma

Week/Fruit/EDD: 8w4d/jelly bean/Oct 11
FTM, Etc: 3TM
Appointments: fancy MFM consult #1 next week
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out
Milestones: still pregnant
Symptoms: every last one of them. Thankfully not all at the same time, and I had a couple days break from the relentless nausea over the weekend so it was tolerable, but now it's BAAAAAAACK.
Rants: I am so over the food aversions, the constant horrendous nausea, and the inability to eat anything besides carby crackers and bread.
Raves: I think my MFMs are basically giving me whatever I want, which is nice. But I'm trying not to get too anxious in between appointments and it's not easy.
GTKY: What is the best concert you've ever been to? Sadly I haven't been to too many in my life... I really enjoyed the Trans Siberian orchestra a couple years ago, and other than them I saw Black eyed peas in college and Saves the Day in HS. I liked them both fine but it wasn't anything crazy. I am DYING to see Lindsey Stirling in concert though.

Raves: Excited to see baby girl tomorrow!
GTKY: What is the best concert you've ever been to? Probably Zac Brown Band or Garth Brooks.

Week/object size/EDD: 9w2d / The One Ring / Oct 5
FTM, Etc: 2TM
Appointments: Blood draw on 3/16, NT scan on 3/22
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Green
Milestones: Told our families!
Symptoms: Horrible pimples, off and on nausea, boobs hurt
Rants: I need J to sleep longer. So tired with early wakeups. I get super hungry so I eat, but then I'm too full after not much food. It's a dumb rant.
Raves: Feeling better overall
GTKY: I haven't been to many concerts. The most fun ones were at Ravinia in Chicago. Most people get lawn seats and you bring food, drinks, blankets, chairs, and socialize while listening to the music. We saw Train (Andy Grammer opened).

Week: 5 + 3 (on 3/4)
2nd
Appointments: two weeks for follow-up dating
Team: green, for now
Milestones: still pregnant
Symptoms: sore breasts, a little nausea, heartburn
Rants: waiting for viability bloodwork is awful, and it didn’t come back ideal, even though the OB thinks it’s okay. I’m going to be on edge until the next ultrasound.
Raves: There is reason to be hopeful that the thyroid meds just impacted date of ovulation and everything is normal and fine, just not as far along as anticipated.
GTKY: What is the best concert you've ever been to? Edit: No, I forgot: this artist in concert was amazing: Youssou N’Dour

roseinbloom-what is not ideal? Remember there is a wide range of normal.

roseinbloom-what is not ideal? Remember there is a wide range of normal. HCG wasn’t completely doubled in 48 hours. It went from 3,817 to 5,9something. My first was small by about 2 weeks, which is what I’d anticipated anyway from my longish cycle and when I got a positive test. This one would be about 2.5 smaller than the office anticipated. I’m trying not to overstress. 😓 Thank you for asking.

Numbers only need to go up by 60% to be good, doubling is just easier math. Also as the number gets higher, it starts taking longer to double. I would just wait for the first ultrasound to get a true date and go off that as HCG levels at this point are not good predictors.

Hi everyone! I'm cautiously dipping my toe in here... Found out last week - my due date would be November 1 but I will have a scheduled c section end of October. This is my fifth pregnancy but will (hopefully) be my second living child. I had some great strong betas last week and my progesterone levels look decent so I'm cautiously optimistic. PGAL brain is hard though.
Week: 5 + 6
FTM, Etc: 2TM
Appointments: Viability ultrasound next Friday. Time could not be going any slower, I just want to get there!
Team: green, can't wait to find out 😁
Milestones: still pregnant
Symptoms: Super sore boobs, crazy sense of smell, very tired. I'm on progesterone suppositories so those make me a little dizzy and nauseous.
Rants: I really hate progesterone suppositories. will be a long 6 weeks on them. Also I just want time to go faster! I hate this stage.
Raves: My last two miscarriages were chemical pregnancies so I'm just happy to still be pregnant.
GTKY: What is the best concert you've ever been to? I would have to say Brandi Carlile. She is AMAZING live. Or I used to go to Warped Tour back in high school during the height of emo / punk music and that was a blast!

Also, hi cateyes, so happy to see you here! I remember you from way back in the day on the bump. I think I had a slightly different screen name then so you probably wouldn't remember me.

Thank you, cateyes. I guess I'm still under 60%, but that makes it seem a little less worrisome. Thank you and moonandback141, for the encouragement. Pinkflower22, looks like we're kind of on the same schedule.
