[Dini]

Congrats Kendi and absolutely! How are you feeling??

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Congrats to the new ladies!! Welcome...what are everyones symptoms so far?

 

[aknqtpie]

So far my symptoms are sore boobies, bloating, cramping, gas, constipation, heart fluttering/palpitation, always hungry, TIRED

 

[sekhmet2013]

Probably my most severe symptom is fatigue and exhaustion. By the end of the work day I'm completely exhausted and ready for bed by 8! And I'm just more tired all day, no matter how much sleep I get.

Also, my boobs are large (I had to buy new bras this past weekend!) and really sore, and the nausea has really kicked in the last few days. Most of the time it's just occasional waves, but a couple of days ago I was fighting it all day.

I was having constipation, but I bought some prunes and some Fiber One cereal, and it's been much better.

The past two days I've had basically no symptoms. I've been spotting on and off for the past week so I'm off to the doctor today - again! I saw one on Saturday and had a scan and all was well and I got to see the heartbeat. They couldn't see any reason for the spotting. But then yesterday it got a bit worse and turned red. So with that and not feeling nauseous anymore I want some reassurance.
I also have a cold which is not fun to deal with.

Thanks ladies, so far i have very minimal symptoms....nausea and fatigue on off, I think am still in shock that am actually pregnant. I removed the coil on the 25th July so it was basically the 1st cycle....for baby numb 1, we had been TTC for 9 months so this is a pleasant and welcome surprise blessing.

When do you ladies think is the best time to have the first scan?

 

[Dini]

For me I def have the fatigue, by about noon I'm wiped out but if I get up and do something it gets better. The nausea has been more noticeable the last few days but its tolerable. My nipples are still tender but no worse, and my breasts are still heavy and have grown about 1/2 cup size but no changes in the last several days. Funny I had just been bra shopping the day before I found out looking for some push up's because I'm not even a solid B and I'm at least a 38-40 around and trust me, I am not remotely a B in a 40, the cup size is more like a 36 C in those and even in the ones I have I didn't fill them out but now I do fill them out so I guess I'm a solid B now lol.

My worst symptom is in the mornings for the last few and 2 days before I found out I am super super dizzy and feel like I have a horrible hangover without the hangover. It takes me a while to get up because whenever I move the room spins so bad I want to hurl. After I get up it's better, just a faint "fogginess" in my head. I even checked my blood sugar this morning and it was fine at 82. I read somewhere that that is a form of morning sickness, but I do not like it!!

Kendi - I think it depends on your history and your doctors office. Mine doesn't have you come in until 8-12wks.. I asked for as close to 8 weeks as possible because I had one miscarriage and need the peace of mind of an early u/s.

My boobs are already large (DD).. they are going to get so freaking huge

 

[RainbowBaby13]

im right there with you. mines are already big too.. im gonna need a back brace lol

 

[DJ_Kitty]

Hello. Im Due about April 11th. Got my July 31, had an ultrasound on Aug 13 and was 5wks and 4days along. Looking for a buddy that due about that time.

My symptoms are: Low back pain before I knew I was pregnant, my boobs are sore and getting bigger (had to get new bras few weeks ago), nausea (worst at work when passing the sea food department. I did had to throw up), leg cramps, tired all the time, food craving/aversion, and constipation.

Welcome DJ!

What is FTM?

 

[Beanonorder]

FTM is first time mom

 

[Dini]

Hi girls, how are you all today?

I'm home from my camping trip and sooo tired but got lots of good exercise and fresh air and it was wonderful!!

My nausea actually left me alone for 2 days, was almost worried but it's back today, woohoo!

DJ, I saw you on another thread, we are about 1 day apart it looks like. I didn't get my BFP until Aug. 10th but am pretty certain of the day I ovulated so I'm roughly 7w0d today.

You got in early for an ultrasound wow!! Have you been having trouble TTC? We tried for almost 4 yrs and this was a surprise, no drugs or treatments and I still haven't had an ultrasound. My first appt is Tuesday and I'm hoping for one then.

Beanonorder how are you feeling?

 

[Beanonorder]

You're so sweet to always ask dini! I'm not too bad thanks. Had my first full day of classes today and I'm pretty tired now...

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Glad you had a nice weekend with no nausea Dini!!

I have my intake appt today!! and a bonus u/s as a follow up to the one i had 10 days ago...hoping to see a little gummybear in there

Hey Ladies!

I've not been on here too much since getting my BFP as still trying not to get too excited just yet due to previous history! I am feeling really rotten this time round though, extremely tired and constantly eating (sometimes to stop me feeling nauseated the rest of the time because I'm just so friggin hungry!), I've had quite bad cramps but put that down to the fact I had an emergency C-section with my son and so maybe the scars are just stretching a bit? But my lower back pain is really getting to me now... doesn't help that DS is a monkey and is at that running around and climbing stage (have to have eyes in back of my head!) but he still wants lots of mummy cuddles at bed time (not helping the back pain!)

My pregnancy with my DS was a dream and I think, if I am lucky to go full term this time, this little monkey is going to give me hell for thinking I might have two easy pregnancies! haha!

Have to ring Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit at the end of this week to book in for an early scan. I've usually had one by this stage, due to history and unfortunately they know me so well there, but the lady who always deals with me there has said she doesn't want to put me through scan after scan like normal (which doesn't help my stress levels) so she said to contact he when I am 8 weeks and still getting BFP's. I have been so restrained with the pos this time round and have only been doing one a week and only because she has advised me to keep doing them until I have a scan. I'm quite proud of myself as usually I am a self-confessed POS addict! Tee Hee!

I already look very pregnant from all this bloat and hoping I can keep it quiet at work until 12 weeks, but doubtful as they guessed with my DS when I was 10wks and I'm bigger this time round! I've tried to put them off my saying I was having a really bad AF the other week and how this baby weight from my DS is getting me down! Hopefully that's enough to stop the gossips for now! haha!

Anyway, sorry for the essay, but I rarely get online and DS is currently napping!

Hope you are all doing well and congratulations to all the new BFP's since I was last online!

Big Hugs!

Jinbean, glad to see you and I enjoyed your "essay". I sure hope this bean sticks around for you! I don't know how you are only doing one hpt a week! Even after I got a really great HCG I still take a test every few days lol, just makes me feel better.

Beanonorder, glad you are doing okay, I bet those classes wiped you out! I still have 2 more days off of work and I am dreading going back Thursday. 12 hours on my feet is getting harder and harder!

Lotalaughs - good luck at your scan!! So jealous you've had two already! I'm praying to get my first tomorrow but something tells me it won't happen. I'm going to beg because my fertility specialist wants me to have one but if they do it my insurance won't pay for it.

Afm, I'm really nauseated today and sooo tired! I have so much laundry and stuff to do since we went camping last weekend, but I think today will be a sit on my butt kinda day, maybe read a book...

Congratulations to all on their BFPs. I have just been reading the whole thread. I did IVF and got my BFP a week ago. I have my first scan at 7 weeks 2 days on Sept 8th. I am due on or around April 25th.
Anybody else due at the same time?
