Oh no onyx. I’m glad you and the baby are ok. Seizures are very scary. Sending lots of love your way. |

onyx I’m sorry about your seizure— I’m glad you’re ok and that’s great you got to check on baby, albeit not in the way you wanted to. sammysam yay for darkening lines!! I’m hanging in there with the nausea. I have 16 more days of progesterone shots so also really looking forward to the end of that because my hips are not happy.

Oh no onyx ! I'm so glad baby is ok! How are you feeling? Ok guys, someone needs to tell me to STOP testing! My lines are good but today (13dpo) and yesterday look virtually the same. They're both just about as dark as the control line but not seeing a clearer progression is freaking me out. I know I should only compare every other day, but the chemical from September is haunting me so now along with being terrified of another MMC I'm also obsessed with line progression. My mind is exhausted! I only have 2 FRER left...and I'm going to use them because now I need to make sure tomorrow's test isn't lighter...but I know I shouldn't. I have 3 cb digis left too which I plan on using...1 a week starting Friday. I know. I have problems:/ |

Well, I’m in a support group IRL for infertility & loss. They, of course, know I’m pregnant. One of them gave me a gift and posted me with the gift and said “first one in our group to have a rainbow baby.” On Instagram and Facebook. I am furious. We don’t have many outside mutual friends but still those few now know and are messaging me to congratulate me and I’m trying not to just lose my temper, but wtaf. OMG! Not only is that just... terrible, but also so insensitive. Ugh. I'm so sorry that happened to you. |

I have problems:/ Oh man, I would tell you to stop testing, but then I would be a hypocrite, because I did the same thing... for weeks, lmao. My tests didn't get darker very quickly, but I just had my first appointment yesterday and it appears I ovulated about 3 days later than I thought, which means my first positive test was closer to 8 dpo than 11 as I had thought. Maybe it's just too early! I hope they darken up for you soon. FWIW, I tested at least once per week every week up until my first appointment, which was yesterday, at an estimated 8 weeks. |

HIH keeps eating my posts and I can’t figure out why. So if y’all see my post 12 times. Jus know, that’s why.
I feel much better today. Just a bit more tired. I took a 3 hour nap. Knowing baby is ok was a light. Plus helps with the anxiety issues I was having. Today’s annoyance is the hospital is making it so hard to get my records from yesterday. I went to the closest hospital to me, which is an awful hospital, so I need them for my doctor and they’re giving me a run around.
[mention]sammysam [/mention] I can’t tell you to stop. I still test. Loss is traumatic and it’s like a little comfort. But I wouldn’t focus on the darkening. Some of them are really bad at actually darkening. Harder said than done.

Thanks onyx and thatgolfb  Today's line popped up earlier than yesterday's and got darker quicker too. It looks the same as yesterday but it's probably almost as dark as it can get without it becoming a dye stealer so I need to learn to just calm down. I'm still going to test for 2 more days just to make sure it's not getting lighter:/ Minus my chemical in September my earliest loss was 10 weeks so I need to get back to trusting that everything will be ok. Sorry for being annoying. PGAL still turns my head into a big pile of crazy. |

sammysam big hugs. I’m PGAL too and it’s so hard. I have PTSD from childhood trauma and I’m fairly certain that I have it from losses now too. I’m not sure I feel truly safe or comfort until I have baby in my arms. |

onyx I definitely have ptsd from my losses. I can't even sit in the waiting rooms for appointments without having full on panic attacks. I'm hoping first of all that this little bean is a fighter, and secondly that I can get through appointments and ultrasounds without being a sobbing mess:(

Anyone else dealing with pregsomnia? I cannot get back to sleep after 3:30am anymore:/ Sort of, but I think the unisom I am taking for nausea helps a bit. I do wake up anywhere between 11 and 2 am to pee, and sometimes have trouble going back to sleep. I am also already waking up because my back hurts, so that's a great indication of how this pregnancy is going to go... |

Are you guys basing EDD on LMP or O date? I'm just setting up my app and it's a 2 day difference...I'm leaning toward O date because it puts me 2 days further along...

Normally I would base it on O date, but I didn’t track November sooo I’m going by LMP. I must have O’d exactly at day 14 and textbook implanted, because I’m measuring at exactly 6.6 weeks. |

Thanks onyx . I'm tempted to leave it as LMP for now, then if this little bean hangs in there I can change it depending on what my ob tells me...but I also like seeing 4+1 rather than 3+6... |

onyx that makes total sense and was kind of what I was thinking:) That way if it lines up with LMP then that's awesome, and if I'm measuring a bit ahead even better!

I will be getting an ultrasound. It’s the first they could fit me in. Based on my approximate dates I will be 11 weeks. That’s the same timing I found out about my last loss, so I’m nervous. I’ve got a bunch of nausea though and I’ve never had that- so I’m hopeful that maybe things will be ok. |

I originally based it off O date (I was tracking quite closely and was fairly sure about when I ovulated). I also had sort of long, slightly irregular cycles (34-38 days). But then at my 8 week appt they did the scan and I was actually 3 days earlier than I thought. But with a 2 day difference, I would just put whichever date you prefer, haha. |
