Weeks/Due Date - 6w4d / June 11
Symptoms - Nausea comes and goes. I puked the first time this morning. Food is gross but generally keeps the nausea at bay, unless it looks or smells like anything besides plain and then itt makes it worse. So fun.
The Good - Still pregnant. I'm really holding on to that.
The Bad - Still spotting, pretty much every day. Some days it's a little heavier than normal spotting, but it's brown so I'm trying not to freak out too much.
Milestones/Appointments - We did see the heartbeat last week. Next appointment is Oct 31, next ultrasound should be early November (gonna be a long 3ish weeks)
To Do List - DH comes home tomorrow finally. I have a To Do list for him which includes grocery shopping and a whole lot of cleaning. It's also DS2's birthday party this weekend and I really need to get supplies.
We also need to decide what we're going to do about space for the baby. We didn't actually expect to get pregnant so quick (both boys took a combined total of 6 years) and I figured we would be in our new house before the baby came. That may still happen but it's more likely that we'll spend the first 6 months - 1 year here in really cramped quarters so the baby won't actually have a bedroom. The boys slept with us as baby's so I'm not worried about that part, just where to put the clothes/blankets/diapers/etc.

Weeks/due date - 6w6d/June 9 Symptoms - I overdid it last week and now feel like I have mono - I'm SO tired. I had a work trip last Thursday and then flew cross country Friday to spend just under 36 hours seeing family and friends and going to my 20-year high school reunion. I landed back home at 10 am yesterday and have spent most of the time since then sleeping. I napped for 2 hours yesterday while DS2 napped, and then slept from 8 pm to 6:30 am and I'm still tired. I considered calling in sick today and may still go home early to get back in bed. I also have had nausea that comes and goes and some food smells put me over the edge. The Good - I was glad to see a hearbeat last week. The Bad - See symptoms above  Milestones/Appointment - I have my first regular appointment with my OB's nurse practitioner on Friday. I'm hoping she'll order another US for 8/9 weeks. To Do List - Nothing much pregnancy-related at this point. |

Hey, I’m tentatively joining in. I have had 5 pregnancy losses (two chemical, two miscarriages and one cornual ectopic) but this is the first time my levels have doubled (or more). I have two sons 6 and 4. I’m a little hopeful since my levels are doing well for the first time since having RPL.
Weeks/Due Date - 4w 2d/ 6-27
Symptoms - horrible horrible nausea and vomiting, sore boobs, fatigue
The Good - HCG levels are doubling and tripling
The Bad - higher numbers could also mean molar pregnancy (which I haven’t had but with my past losses I don’t want to rule out anything until we’re certain).
Milestones/Appointments - HCG blood draw Friday and ultrasound on 11/1
To Do List - find out what local dr. office to transfer to. I can’t stay at my current if this turns out to be viable since I’m very high risk of uterine rupture and they can’t legally attend high risk pregnancies.

Welcome Radley! I really hope this pregnancy is successful for you! FWIW, I had super high betas when I was pregnant with my third baby, and I freaked out about molar pregnancy too (or also thought maybe multiples), and it turned out to just be one healthy baby who is now 2 years old. I can certainly identify with waiting for the other shoe to drop though - I haven’t been through as many losses as you, but after an ectopic, a chemical, and a 21-week loss for medical reasons, I always wonder what bad outcome will be next. Crossing my fingers for you!! |

Weeks/Due Date - 6+2/6-13
Symptoms - oof they hit me harder right at 6 weeks. The fatigue is here and the nauseas gotten worse. Not terrible, no throwing up, but I feel like I need to eat often to keep it at bay. Thankfully, it’s not been bad at work which is all I can ask for at this point.
The Good - still pregnant 👍
The Bad - fatigue making me feel like a zombie. I’m hoping I’ll make it to the gym tomorrow 🤞also feeling a thousand pounds heavier already. Ugh.
Milestones/Appointments - finally have an appt for 11/5
To Do List - I feel like I need to go maternity clothes shopping already lol. The bloattttt

danib we’ll be sharing a room with the baby for the first few months-year too. I’ve been semi planning how to organize everything. Thankfully we have this built in desk nook thing that’ll be perfect as a changing table/some storage so at least I’ve got that going for me. Although SO will need to find a new place for his records which he might not appreciate, hah. It’s too bad I can’t make my 8y/o share a room with a newborn, lol

Our bedrooms are all too small. I legit think I'll end up putting a dresser in the hallway. |

Weeks/Due Date - 7 + 3, June 5th
Symptoms - fatigue and nausea that only seems improved if I graze on carbs all day long
The Good - Still pregnant. I’m so glad I can ultrasound myself at work or my OBs office would be so sick of hearing from me.
The Bad - I’ve been spotting/bleeding on and off for weeks and it’s put me in such a weird funk. I can’t enjoy this pregnancy at all because as soon as I think things are ok I start bleeding again. I then convince myself that it’s likely miscarrying and then it stops and everything is fine. This cycle repeats every 4ish days.
Milestones/Appointments - next appointment is 10/29 and they are doing another ultrasound then
To Do List - Get my house back in order. I’ve been so exhausted and slacking lately.

Glad I’m not the only one who needs to eat carbs constantly and feels super bloated. Anyone else having trouble telling the difference between bloating and cramping? I feel like my stomach area is so uncomfortable all the time. magaroni I’m glad you’re ok - I’ve been thinking of you! |

magaroni I feel like we're in a similar boat with the spotting/bleeding. DH keeps asking how I am feeling (not just physically) and I just can't get excited because every time I go to the damn bathroom there's blood. I wish I had the ability to ultrasound because this is torture. sdlaura I am legit having trouble wearing pants because my stomach is so uncomfortable. Even if they fit, just touching my stomach is a no go.

The bloat is starting for me already and is killer. I know I’ve lost weight too, steppes in a scale and am down like 5 lbs from all the nausea and throwing up. But I swear I look 5lbs heavier.

Hi all, I'm going to sneak my intro in here. I have 2 DDs that are 5 and 3. We started ttc last November and since then I've had 3 chemicals and an ectopic in august that required surgery. I ended up getting a positive test with my first cycle post surgery that we were allowed to try. I am cautiously optimistic but will be holding my breath until my ultrasound in a few weeks.
Weeks/Due Date - 4.3/ June 26
Symptoms - I'm super tired by noon every day. I need to take a nap or I drag the rest of the day. My appetite has gone down and I've been nauseous here and there. I am also breaking out like a teenager on my chin. Occasional round ligament cramps. My BMs are go back and forth from hard to soft so that's super fun. Bloating
The Good - I've had a few HCG draws and the numbers are looking good.
The Bad -
Milestones/Appointments - First appt and U/S is scheduled for 11/13
To Do List - I don't really have anything baby related.

I really hope this is a healthy pregnancy for you!! |

I also hope for a healthy, boring pregnancy for you! |

Tentatively popping in here. Got several massively dark BFPs, including a digital that basically popped up immediately, earlier this week after returning to the US from a trip to Germany. DH was joking that we made a beerfest baby (since we went to an Oktoberfest there) and I don't think he's totally wrong!
Short version of my history - MMC at 9w earlier this year, and 27 week neonatal loss in Sept 2016.
Weeks/Due Date - 4w1d? EDD is June 30... H's birthday!
Symptoms - sore breasts and holy fatigue
The Good - I managed to get pregnant and the tests are getting darker.
The Bad - with our loss history, the anxiety is unreal.
Milestones/Appointments - MFM consult and first ultrasound to confirm all is in place/on track on Monday morning
To Do List - one day at a time.

Welcome fikafairy! I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through. From having lurked HIH/the prior boards for awhile - I think I remember your story. Was your late loss related to an antibody issue? I’m excited that there’s a decent sized group of us participating already! And given what a lot of us have been through, it should be a really supportive group. |

Yes, it was an antibody issue among other hospital-related factors. The actual complications have a 90-95% survival rate, so we are hopeful!! |
