Sadly my MS is made worse by food not better
If I am feeling nauseous then eat something, I am then highly likely to actually be sick.
Kiseki - this site is definitely a lot better when you have found a nice comfy thread. I guess in first tri most of the talking is around '
this is happening, what shall I do?' So not a lot to carry on talking about once the question has been answered.
That stinks, on the plus side for you though you'll prob never gain as much weight as I do

True! I guess I'm looking for more of a group of people I can get to know a bit, ask questions of and vice versa. You guys are ace!!!
So, I have a follow-up scan with my IVF doc tomorrow morning before she hands me over to the OB/Gyn. Keep your fingers crossed that all is well. I have butterflies!!
YAY good luck!!!!
Hi everyone! I heard there was a thread for those of us LTTTC who just got our BFPs and have had quite a journey to get here. We've been trying over 2-1/2 years with 3 failed IUIs and were so lucky to get pg with the first IVF. I just found out last week so it is super early and I'm still having trouble believing it is really happening. I know there is a 25% chance of mc this early on and it decreases a lot once the baby's hb is detected so I am hoping and praying I can make it through this 1st trimester. DH is convinced it is twins as he really doesn't understand IVF. He thinks if they put 2 embryos in you, you are automatically having 2. I've explained the implanting thing to him but he either doesn't get it or has serious PMA. We are so overjoyed to be in the pregnancy category. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.
Congrats Marie!!!! So glad to have you join! So funny your DH is convinced it's twins. My man is so the same way. They just don't get it sometimes
Welcome Kiseki and Marie :wave:
Marie - it is amazing how much the guys don't 'get' even when you try to explain it to them
Klein - glad everything went well
Care - I haven't really had any cravings that much, mainly just eating because I need to. Not much appetite for anything. The nausea is mostly gone but still no appetite. The main thing I guess I have been wanting is ice cream - it is driving me nuts that we can't have soft serve
Sarah - I've been in maternity for a few weeks now, now that I'm back to work after the ohss. I don't think I'll get small enough for normal clothes before the 'real' bump shows up so I've resigned myself. Mostly I'm using my sisters stuff but she wears pants a couple sizes bigger so I look huge. The only thing I have bought so far is some t-shirts from Target.
Urchin - I'm a peach too! My phone app says they are shrimp but the peach is cuter than a shrimp for sure...
AFM - Anyone else having an increase in body hair with pregnancy? I'm pale with dark hair and I'm starting to feel like a sasquatch with all the new dark body hair these days. Also got an itchy rash on my arms, though I hear that is common too. Fun times...
LOL with the body hair. I haven't noticed any increases yet but I'll keep a look out for it and keep you posted!!! I did horomone pellets a few years back (apparently I couldn't keep up with DH's sex drive so they gave me testosterone pellets)...that made my hair increase for sure lol
marie44 glad you found us! we have all been through so much I feel our pregnancies are so special. I also have a hard time believing its true, and im over 13 weeks! I havent told that many people or done any shopping as its all so surreal. We have looked at a few baby stores for fun and just got some maternity tops. When I was trying on the tops I was thinking 'wow this might actually be happening!'. The wait till my 7 week scan was hard, but it was wonderful. the tech put the heartbeat on speaker and I burst into tears.
mrs bear Im pale but with blond hair on body so havent noticed much? LOL @ sasquatch!! we are supposed to 'glow' in our 2nd trimester!!
hey so who is going to find out the gender? thats a fun topic we can chat about. Im in 2 minds but hubby definitely doesnt want to, so we wont. For me I think the surprise is a wonderful thing, but on the other hand Id like to know and start calling her/him by their name. Its got nothing to do with planning as I dont care about that or blue/pink stuff. I keep going back and forth, hubby said I should find out, but I think we should do it together. I told him if we dont for this one then we are for #2! I suppose it will be even more interesting for #2 as then you will know if you are having the same or different.
For me it was such an almost unachievable goal of getting pregnant and then when I did, even though I have 2 other children, I was like ok...so now what?!?!
It's amazing and I think it is actually setting in...I will very likely have a BABY at the end of my pregnancy. A baby!!! WOW. I think I got so wrapped up with the getting preggo I forgot about getting a baby lol.
I don't want to find out what the sex. I am blessed to have one of each already so I don't have any hidden underlying urges for the sex of this child. DH would probably like to find out, it's his first child. We've talked it over and he says he stands behind not finding out. I would of never had the patience to wait to find out with either of my other 2. This time feels different though. I think I will love the surprise to be at the end
We have agreed on a themed Under the Sea nursery so that will not be gender specific and we are picking out a name for each sex in the mean time. We did agree at the beginning IF we happened to get pregnant with twins we would have to find out with 2. It'd just be to hard not to know.
Hello to all of the new additions!
I am glad we have had so much good news on this thread! Its definitely fun to compare stages and all be around the same mark!
I had my 12 week scan today... the ultrasound tech said everything looks good and no news is good news, so hopefully no news until I go back for more bloodwork at 16 weeks. The nuchal fold measured 1mm, and she said anything under 3 is normal. She also said my bub is "unusually active"
Wouldn't even sit still long enough for a photo op! Did get a few pics,in one he/she is upside down and the next he/she flipped! The tech asked if we were finding out the sex, which we aren't, but we said she thinks she could tell already. Which I assume means its a boy?? What is this nub theory everyone talks about?? Could she tell from that?? Well here is a pic!
Yay for great scan and dr appointment.
Great scan pic Teta! How adorable! Congrats! So happy for you!!!
Welcome Kiseki and Marie!
In terms of cravings, nothing really. Its more I don't want to eat anything. My appetite is really poor and my ms seems to be the worst at night. I feel like I'm going to be sick everynight and I go to bed to avoid it, but once every 3 or 4 days it gets so strong that I'll wake from my sleep to be sick.
Gender wise, I'm halfway on. I feel like its a surprise either way, when you givebirth or at the scan, and if I wait till delivery I'll already be so emotional, that will just add another thing to wonder about - not just is it healthy, but what is it? DH would rather not, but is fine with whatever I want. Also, I'd like to stop refering to baby as it, so finding the gender will help with that. All my nursery decor and things I want are very gender neutral, so planning won't be impacted either way.
I have definitely had all kinds of aversions and cravings. I haven't eaten meat in weeks, it makes me so sick. So does italian food. My options are very limited and I have been eating lots of junk since i just pick all of the time since nothing seems appetizing. I felt the same way with dd, my symptoms improved at 14 weeks so that's what I'm counting on!
As far as clothes, this in between stage is killer. I was well into maternity clothes by this point in my last preg, so it's weird. I definitely notice a pretty impressive bulge the last few days so I'm guessing maternity clothes r coming soon. Luckily I have a ton and have to control myself from buying even one thing!
We are not finding out the sex, we didn't with dd and it was the best surprise and the best moment of my life! It just seemed so much more fun for us and everyone else that we didn't know. But I think we are definitely in the minority.
Still nervous about telling people, we can't decide whether to tell my in laws on Easter or wait until mothers day, which will be almost 18 weeks. I'd rather wait but I feel bad for DH who hasn't told a soul! (I've told about 8-10 ppl). We'll see.....
Poor DH, I think Easter would be safe but if you need more time to decide on when to tell then Mothers Day would work also!
I read storied online about people finding out the sex and not finding out the sex. All of the one's that I read were consistant, if they had more than one and for some reason they found out with one and didn't with the other, the not knowing was far more special. Most of the people would have went back and did it that way with all of their children in hindsight. Can't wait til D'day to find out myself!!! I think it's special for the DH's involved as well. They get to announce it to the family. I will be in tears for sure!

so you do think you will find out but not tell hubby or he would be ok knowing? its sounds like you are in the exact situation as me, I dont care as nursery will be gender neutral. Im so torn personally, but hubby is adamant and I feel we should do it as a couple not me knowing and him not!
Sarah - apparently my 'glow' will be coming through a 'planet of the apes' look with a some beard action going on...
Teta - glad the scan went well. I would think you would be safe to tell at Easter since you will be about 12 weeks by then. It is really a personal decision though. If there are people there that will make it public knowledge and you aren't ready for that yet then you might wait. Maybe play it by ear and see how you feel that day?
As far as gender, I plan to find out. I have always wanted a girl so if we end up with two boys I would rather find out early and adjust to the idea than find out the day of. I will of course be happy with whatever we have so long as they are healthy, but I would rather not have even a flicker of disappointment the day of. I also want to know so I can plan better, both for nursery and to know what we might be able to borrow from friends/relatives. We have way more girl stuff in the family so if I need boy I want to start stocking up. DH said before we got pregnant that he wanted to be surprised but I think he has changed his mind since then.
Totally understand about the gender. I wanted DD to be a girl so bad, I felt so guilty about it and tried to convience myself it was a boy just so I wouldn't be disappointed on u/s day. Luckily, she is ALL girl and that spells D-R-A-M-A
about your glow! Last pregnancy I had stress induced HUGE almost like fever blisters all around my mouth. I had to see a dermatologist about it! It took forever to go away! Def not the 'glow' I had in mind
Sometimes I wonder how there are these beautiful pregnant people. I often photograph the prettiest pregnant clients. I am constantly having to make them poke their almost non existant bump out and never have to retouch them at all. They all seem to have the ((glow)) about them! I am thinking seriousally no stretch marks, acne, nothing?!?!
Oh well it'll all be worth it in the long run!
Afm-doc called back today and said I can stop my progesterone suppositories and just do my injections, yay!!! No more panty liners!!! Something about pads/liners and pregnancy just don't jive to me!
but isn't there another little nub just at the top of the leg??? Above that looks to be sections of the umbilical cord???
