NOVEMBER 2015 RAINBOWS. Please Join Us!

[SweetV]

Em - I thnk I am going to grab a 2 pack dig tomorrow. I want to see 1-2 and then repeat next week to see my 3+. I will probably not make it through next week without placing a call to the high risk dr and going to get bloods done though. I'm trying to be a bit more relaxed about this pregnancy but time will tell

Dill - that sounds horrible. I don't get migraines all that often although I use to get them more frequently. I hate not being able to function.

3chords - welcome! Good luck with the beta's tomorrow

 

[Dill]

It is awful! The worst part of it is the light sensitivity. I feel like a trainwreck today. Migraine, nausea, can't eat, constipation turned into diarrhea... Worst part is that not eating definitely contributes to the migraine, and so does dehydration, so I'm caught in this awful spiral! And I can't even have a strong cup of coffee to try and knock out the migraine.

 

[SweetV]

I do love my caffeine and can't function without it. I can't tell if it's pregnancy or withdrawal.

 

[Dill]

I gave up coffee almost a year and a half ago, with the exception of the very occasional cup for migraine relief (once a month? every other month?) ... so I am grateful I'm not going through withdrawals at the same time! Withdrawals AND pregnancy exhaustion, oh my goodness, you are a saint for not killing everyone around you.

Dill I definitely had bad feelings with all my losses but then again I had feelings of doom through out my whole pregnancy with max and he's a bouncing two year old right now beating up his daddy So sorry you're suffering with migraine's. My 17 year old has them terribly. Especially when she's stressed.

Welcome 3chords. So sorry for your losses

Sweetv I love a digi! I've got two left. I'll do one next Friday for the 2-3 (hopefully) and then one the week after for the 3+

I also gave up caffeine a few months ago so no withdrawal for me this time I do still allow myself one coffee because it's recommended no more than 200mg of caffeine and my coffee pods have 130mg in them.

AFM I'm feeling good today. My 13 dpo IC was nice and dark. My main symptoms are boobs are sore and I'm EXHAUSTED!! I'm going to bed at 8-9pm, sleeping for 10-11 hours and I'm still exhausted in the morning.

Anyone else having early symptoms?

 

[SweetV]

I love coffee. I did cut down quite a bit over the last year or two. I have one cup a day in the morning now which is back from one in the morning, one on the way to work and one at lunch. I am exhausted though.

Those are my symptoms as well. Very tired, I've been putting my head down during the day for a bit and going to bed much earlier. My boobs are very sore.

I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't get sick but I get really bloated and dizzy. I haven't had too much of that yet luckily.

I actually feel pretty good about this pregnancy but in a reserved way if that makes sense. I don't have an overwhelming sense of doom but I think I'm prepared for bad news. I even took a peek at the super cute clothes yesterday when I was out. I think I will feel better after a scan shows a hb.

 

[SweetV]

I caved and got a ticker .

Feeling good today. Fx it means good things.

 

[Embo78]

Yay!! There's no harm in a good ole ticker Think I've gone a bit ticker mad

 

[Dill]

Migraine is a little better for me today. It still has me worried -- it won't go away entirely, and my constipation disappeared with a bang. If it wasn't for my other symptoms, I would be concerned, but I'm mostly just sitting here and reminding myself to be more careful next time I eat food I didn't make myself.

My nausea has taken it up a notch and thrown food aversion into the mix. Was gagging over last night's dinner -- and it's a meal I usually love and can eat a ton of! Strong smells are really getting to me. Bland things for me, for now.

Glad you got a ticker, sweet!

 

[tcinks]

Hi gals! I'm due early November, no living children. Lost our first at 13 weeks back in October due to preterm labor. Praying we get to keep this one

I've been tired and my breasts are sore, and I have some occasional cm...that's about all that's going on. Last time nausea hit me at exactly 6 weeks...so I guess I have that to look forward to! Haha.

Dh and I are nervous of course, but definitely letting ourselves get excited. He talks to the baby every day and tells him/her that he loves him/her.

 

[SweetV]

Dill I'm glad to hear your migrane has tapered off a bit. Your symptoms sound promising but hard on you none the less.
I hate food aversions as I love food. I'm usually a sweet addict but for my last 2 pregnancies can not go near them. I instantly feel full and sick. It's probably for the best.

I've been dealing with pregnancy side effects since day one. They're all promising, but miserable, nonetheless! I'm a total food junkie, so the food aversions are really weird for me. I know I need to eat, but just about everything seems disgusting, including foods I picked up for cravings just last week!

 

[Embo78]

Welcome tcinks Congrats on the BFP

Glad your migraine is betting Dill

Sweetv, I lost my appetite (and 20lbs!) in my pregnancy with Max. I just couldn't eat. I literally had to force myself This one I seem to prefer a sweet diet so I'm eating lots of sweet crunchy apples, bananas and pineapple.

AFM, I woke up with slight negativity this morning. I know it's just regular PARL's feelings but it's so hard preparing myself for what comes with a loss. I'm wondering if the baby is genetically ok and whether I'll need an ERPC for the fourth time, then I'm thinking I should go and get an early scan but hubby and I decided not to go down that route this time in order to have as normal a pregnancy as possible! My head is a whirlwind right now!
I'm trying to remember to take things one day at a time. Right now, today I am pregnant. I'm experiencing slight symptoms, I'm not spotting and have no reason what so ever to thing there's something wrong so I should enjoy my pregnancy. If there comes a day when there is an issue, we'll deal with it and make a decision together! Phew ..... Feel better now!!

I want to put our details on the first post - names, edd etc so can you all tell me your details please

 

[Embo78]

I've found most of our edd's. If I've missed you just give me a nudge and your details

Good morning ladies well it's morning here anyways..

HOpe you all had a good weekend, sorry I didn't update at all on the weekend, it's hard since OH still doesn't know

Thanks Embo for the front page I think what you are feeling is true for all of us. It sounds like your DH is giving you great support. My stress is that if I lose this one, I'm not sure what they would do if I didn't pass naturally... not sure that they can do a D&C due to my uterus issues... so it would probably be a hysterectomy... sigh.. but I thought I would take your lead, and finally created a signature figured I'd enjoy this while it lasts!

Dill sorry about the migraine and that you're having trouble finding something to eat.... my whole first pregnancy was like that... all I could get down (the whole 9 months) was pasta, pizza and cereal... yup carbs, carbs and more carbs, no meat, no veggies, no fruit... I myself am craving greek yogurt and granola!! I'm afraid to eat too much and my OH will think something weird is going on....

tcinks.. so sorry for your loss... your DH sounds amazing!! congrats.

SweetV glad that you are feeling more positive loove the ticker.

AFM feeling okay... exhausted...and my stomach is "rolling" pretty much all of the time... lol but that's okay.. and my boobs are VERY sore.. actually put on one of my maternity bras today and ahhh relief!!! they are awesome!! So I did the digi today and it's still 2 - 3 weeks... that's okay I expected that, so I am going to try another on wednesday really want to see that 3+... never got past 1 - 2 weeks last time... I did do another FRER just because I'm crazy and the test line was WAAAY darker than the control line so that's awesome!!! I think I am done testing with FRER's don't want to start seeing the hook effect... but really want that 3+ so will keep those going for another few days.

Hope you lovely ladies all have a great day!!

Chat soon

Klsltsp, I would not be able to keep that from my dh! How much longer until you tell him?!

I have my first appointment/scan set up for Monday the 16th! I'll be 6 weeks then, and my doctor typically sees women at 8, but I think because of my loss she's getting me in early, which I really appreciate!

 

[girlinyork]

Can I join? I'm on pregnancy number six, one live birth. Due on the 19th which is my brother's and niece's birthday x

 

[klsltsp]

welcome girlinyoork!! sixth pregnancy here too!! I have 2 live births.

tcinks, I am going to try and wait until my u/s... March 24 I would be 6w 5 days he may guess before then... My doc wanted to see me at 6 weeks (next week) but he's away for March Break, so they bumped me by 1 week..

I'm not going to lie... I've almost blurted it out a few times... the struggle is he'd like me to wait... but then if I don't tell him before my u/s and it's bad news, then I'll have to tell him I'm pregnant and that we're losing it all on the same day, and that's a lot to take... but if it's all good, I would love to save him the worry.. he is such a worrier, I can't even express...

I'm tempted to call my family doc and ask if they can send me for bloodwork... if I could see it's doubling it make it easier to tell him...

 

[Embo78]

kls I have two digis left. I'm doing one on Friday and one the Friday after. Hope I get the 2-3 and 3+

tcinks, that's great that your doc will see you two weeks early. It's nice that they're looking after you after your loss

Hey GIY, congrats again and I'll add you to the front page

 

[3chords]

Thanks Embo for running the front page.

I am feeling really crummy today, unrelenting nausea since 5 am. I went in for acupuncture that kind of helped momentarily but the effects of it seem to be wearing off. I am also really dizzy from all the extra progesterone.

But we are having our early (6 wk) scan this Thursday, coming up quickly.
