Week/fruit/EDD: 10w3d, strawberry
FTM, etc: 3TM
Appointments: Tomorrow with OB and for NIPT
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out with NIPT
Symptoms: constipation, fatigue, bloated, headaches, some dizziness
Rants: I've been complaining about how long it's taken since my last appointment and now that it's tomorrow, I'm super anxious. I don't think they do an ultrasound this time but I don't remember completely. I think just doppler and exam.
Raves: I haven't had much nausea recently which is making me happy and also nervous at the same time.
GTKY: Do you have a "feeling" that you're having a boy or a girl or are noticing any differences in the pregnancy so far that are making you lean toward one of the other? I feel like it may be a boy but who knows. I "knew" my last two were girls but I don't have that feeling this time so I guess we'll see when we get the NIPT results!

Week/fruit/EDD: 8w4d/raspberry??
FTM, etc: 3tm
Appointments: none for a few weeks
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out
Symptoms: constant but mild nausea and food aversions
Rants: so ready to not feel sick
Raves: so glad to have my first appointment out of the way
GTKY: Do you have a "feeling" that you're having a boy or a girl or are noticing any differences in the pregnancy so far that are making you lean toward one of the other?
I keep thinking girl but idk if that's just wishful thinking. Only differences I've noticed are the pelvic pressure I had earlier and I'm not really wanting snacks. Don't know what either thing means.

Week/fruit/EDD: 9+3, cherry, Nov 15
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: Thursday, first OB appt!
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out
Symptoms: nausea/vomiting, food aversions, fatigue
Rants: So much PIO pain in my butt 😩
Raves: I'm days away from being done with PIO!!!
GTKY: Do you have a "feeling" that you're having a boy or a girl or are noticing any differences in the pregnancy so far that are making you lean toward one of the other?
I dont really have a feeling either way. My symptoms are similar to when I had my son. The only difference is my nausea/vomiting is manifesting slightly different. Last time I always threw up in the morning, this time is at all hours of the day.

run4fun I feel you on the PIO. I've started pretending I'm getting booty injections. Good thing I can't see my own butt and the terrible results!

Just got back from my appointment. I have a tilted uterus so they always have an issue early on in pregnancy using the doppler so my Dr had to try to move it internally then was able to use the doppler. And now I'm cramping. HR was 169 and she said everything felt good. I also had 8 vials of blood taken (2 of which were for the Panorama test) so I hope I'm done with bloodwork for a while. NT scan is in 3 weeks so now I get to wait again.

Welcome, and good luck with your second beta! Being a beta sleuth to give you some reassurance... 4+1 is 10dp5dt, yes? My beta that day was 110, but I had a super early implanter because I got a squinter on the night of 3dp5dt. If yours was a little slow to implant (like most FETs are!) I think you're just fine with that number. Crossing my fingers you see a nice double tomorrow!

Week/fruit/EDD: 7 weeks, raspberry, 12/3
FTM, etc: 3rd
Appointments: April 24th. It’s going to be a long week.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Probably finding out. I keep thinking it’d be fun to be team green since we have a boy and girl, but I’m also the type of person who needs to know all the things.
Symptoms: All day nausea, food aversions, sore boobs, sense of smell is out of control
Rants: The nausea is killing me and all my energy to do stuff.
Raves: Happy to have made it past when I had my loss! That is helping me feel a bit less anxious. And I told a close friend yesterday, so it’s nice to have her good thoughts.
GTKY: Do you have a "feeling" that you're having a boy or a girl or are noticing any differences in the pregnancy so far that are making you lean toward one of the other?
I guess if I REALLY think about it, so far things are similar (symptom-wise) to when I was pregnant with my DS. But I don’t have any feelings one way or the other.

emmilally welcome and good luck with your next beta! sarahh sorry for the cramping, I hope it stops soon. But yay for a good appointment otherwise! It’s crazy how much blood they draw in first tri. How long do you have to wait for the NIPT results?

sarahh That would annoy me. Like, no, just do a quick scan if you can't easily get it on the doppler. Sorry you are crampy. emmilally when is your next beta?

MsJennings yes! I was exactly 10dp5dt. With DS1, they transferred two and initially they both took, and withDS2, he was hatching at transfer. So I'm used to higher betas. Thanks for your comment - it's so reassuring. I was getting bfns until 7 dpt, so I'm hopeful this bean got a late but healthy start! sarahh sundog jnetx thank you! Beta is tomorrow at 8

Guys the nausea is really getting to me. I'm not throwing up so I know it could be worse but the constant yuck feeling is wearing on me. No food sounds good. Blerg.

I’m trying lots of tricks- like eat some crackers first thing in the AM (doesn’t really help), have lots of protein (helps the most!), small snacks frequently (but nothing sounds good). Raw fruit and veggies have been pretty good as snacks, and drinks that are ice cold have been good too.

I'm wanting meal food rather than snack foods and it's hard to graze all day when that's what I want.

jnetx , sundog I am here with you in the nausea. No barfing (except once very early on) just the constant, nagging, rising feeling in my throat. I'm fine until I eat for the first time in the morning, and then it's constant EXCEPT when I'm eating. So I'm spending all day looking for snacks and eating all sorts of random things. By evening I'm so exhausted of eating and bloated and full and still sick, I've been in tears. First tri, man.

Week/fruit/EDD: 7 weeks/blueberry/Dec 4th
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: Blood draws next week, next ob and ultrasound May 6th
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out
Symptoms: heightened sense of smell and accompanying aversions, sore boobs, bloat, finger swelling, sore feet, vivid dreams
Rants: first trimester is always pretty rough for me, I'm really tired of the weird foot pain (happened last pregnancy too). Obvioulsy I'm hoping it goes away like it did before because this part is miserable.
Raves: Still pregnant!
GTKY: Do you have a "feeling" that you're having a boy or a girl or are noticing any differences in the pregnancy so far that are making you lean toward one of the other?
I keep calling this baby "her, she" but I'm not sure it's me sensing the gender, more that it's probably force of habit (I have a daughter).

Add me to the group struggling with nausea and vomiting. I only throw up every few days, so its manageable but I feel like I cant trust my nausea since the vomiting showed up. I never know when it will turn into something more, so I try to stick to things that are easy on my stomach.
I've been craving ice water alot. I starting drinking those high protien carnation breakfast smoothies on rough days, so I'm at least am getting some sort of nutrition in me. The last 2 days have been better, and I'm really hoping maybe things are on the upswing now since I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow 🙏

I'm so sorry for everyone dealing with nausea!!! Hope it passes soon.
My third beta was today (supposed to be my last) and it was 331. I'm really happy that it's more than doubling every 48 hour, but my nurse wants me to come back Monday because it's still too low to schedule an ultrasound for 7 weeks.
Oh and my 3.5 yo told his whole daycare I'm pregnant. The director texted me jokingly to see if I had news and I almost fell out of my chair. His aunt is pregnant so that may be why, but we certainly haven't told him yet!

emmilally oh man! We told our 3.5 yo when I was about 6 weeks along because he has been begging for a sibling for months and we couldnt hold the secret anymore. I wasnt really concerned about him telling people, hes sorta shy and the only people I assumed he tell would be family and they already know. Nope he went to school and prayed for "the baby in mommy's belly" at prayer time the very next day 🤦♀️ so his teachers told me at pick up and I ended up telling them. To my knowledge he hasn't told anyone else though. Lol
