**December Snowflakes - 2016**

[GraceER]

My thoughts are with all of you whose pregnancies are at risk right now - I can only imagine how scary this must be. I hope you get some answers soon, the not knowing must be awful. Unfortunately none of us are out of the woods yet and we all know that. Keep us updated xxx

Congratulations and welcome!! Sounds like the beginnings of MS to me. We're all anxious in first tri so you're in good company! I think we have to try to enjoy one day at a time, none of us know what's around the corner.

Welcome Jellybe! Congrats on your BFP!

Just waiting for the results of my blood draws. Hopefully by Monday, at the latest Tuesday.

On the positive I opened up my compost bin this morning and ended up dry heaving on the floor. I'm hoping that is a good sign.

My spotting stopped yesterday at 4pm and my test this morning is slightly darker than yesterday's. I am really hoping it was just benign spotting and not related in any way to the embryo. I'm actually wondering if I have a UTI, I am going to ask to have a culture done tomorrow because both incidents of spotting happened when I was struggling to urinate and I really feel like I have a UTI, I had a UTI that would not go away for the first 8 weeks of my pregnancy despite antibiotics with my daughter. So I know I am grasping at straws but I am just trying to remain hopeful that this baby could still be sticking. I am waiting to take another FRER because I feel like I won't see much of a difference day-to-day at this point now that the test line is darker than the control...I just hope this baby is still sticking, it blows being stuck in limbo.

So I got my bfp on cheapie Friday. Frer Saturday ( didn't have any and bought some) and CB digital all negative until today!!! So excited! This means my levels are going up right?
Closing on a house tomorrow so will swing by the doctors office on the way there to get a blood test.
How are y'all feeling? Any morning sickness yet?

 

[Jrepp]

Hi Jrepp! :wave: How are you and your family doing?

That's a good idea, but my cat hates everyone but me. I don't know who would be willing to keep her.

And omg I hope everything turns out ok. That's so scary. You're in my thoughts.

We're doing okay. Just getting by day by day. Little man is all over the place and doesn't give us any down time lol. How are y'all doing?

The test does look a bit darker to me too. Hopefully you can get some answers tomorrow.

Welcome Mom and TTC and Jellybe! I am so glad you could join us I have added both of you too the list on the first page, Jellybe I put your EDD as the 8th based on the fact you said you were 5 weeks 3 days. If it changes let me know!

AFM I am feeling so sick today.. headache and nausea have hit big time. I also cannot stomach meat in anyway. I tried to eat some taco salad yesterday and I almost threw up as soon as I was done eating but eating veggies and fruits don't bother me. I was the same way with my DD so hoping this means we have another little pink bundle! My sciatica is really acting up big time.. I was awake most of the night because my hip hurt so bad.. lovely for it to start so early. lol I just went and bought some new prenatals, figured I would try the ones that you have to take two pills, a prenatal and a DHA softgel.. I think they are 1 A Day brand.. only come with a 30 day supply though so that is kind of crappy. My last bottle had 240 pills that would last you all 9 months!

Everyone who is having spotting my heart goes out to you, I know how scary it can be! I hope everything turns out just fine for you.

Congratulations on your BFP! H&H 9 months to you! Yes that sounds like morning sickness to me! I hope it doesn't last very long and that it doesn't get that bad!

Just waiting for the results of my blood draws. Hopefully by Monday, at the latest Tuesday.

Good luck with your blood test results! I hope you get great numbers!

The wait for bloodwork is killing me. Hoping tomorrow I will get the results for 2nd round of hcg. Fxed they are doubling. Having a hard time not thinking about it.

It really sucks they make us wait. Don't they know we are seriously hanging on the edge emotionally waiting to hear those numbers? They make it seem routine

My HCG blood work is on the 14th!!! I can't wait for Thursday either!!!

December, with my daughter I had a bad UTI toward the end of my pregnancy and thought it was labor! It was that painful and I was wiping and peeing out blood. I hope that's all it is for you. Definitely could confuse a bad UTI with pregnancy problems.

 

[GraceER]

I'm a little envious of you US ladies getting your beta levels done. Here in the UK we don't get betas unless there is real doubt about the pregnancy or if you've had assisted reproduction of some kind. I'm seeing my GP Tuesday, with my Endo history and the constant cramps I'm hoping he'll send me for an early scan - I need to know little bean is ok ASAP.
