"Just Barely" Pregnant PS''ers

Re:

Sugarpie- Yep, I think our kiddos age spread will be exactly the same! Remind me, do you have a boy or a girl? I thought I would be way more relaxed this go-round, but not so much. I am more relaxed about certain things- don't stress about every little thing I eat or drink, etc. But I am still stressed about what can go wrong- even more so this time I think. I am 10 weeks today, which I thought would NEVER get here. Not gonna lie, the last month has been LONG and miserable. I think I feel way more sick this time, but not sure if that's true or if it's the added exhaustion of chasing a 2 year old around after I work all day. At least last time I could lay around all the time. :cheeky:

MuffDog- Hope I didn't freak you out about the advil!!! I usually check this site- www.safefetus.org...

I have found that the less I eat the better I feel this time. Or I should say that if I eat often, but small amounts, I feel better. If I try to feed the nausea and overeat, I feel worse. It's been a harder balance this time. Preggo Pops help. Gummy bears. Trail mix. Weirdly tea is my saving grace. Water unfortunately makes me ill which is a problem as I'm sure I'm dehydrated. I somehow can drink it right before bed so I try and down as much as I can. I am so ready for this part to be over!
 
Re:

Hi all -- I apologize for not posting and for the fact this will be a me-centered drive-by. I am a horrible horrible JBP PSer.

Had the U/s last week...she said she could "barely see" the nuchal fold and that baby looked as good in the scan as she's seen. I'll get the actual results at my dr. appointment tomorrow, so hopefully that'll go well!

I am finally over the queasy feeling, but for me, it was all carbs, preferably salty ones, and as much and as often as I could. That and lemonade. (China, does lemonade sound appealing?)

But now I'm back on a better eating track, not going crazy with the calories anymore. I've put on about 5-6 pounds so far...I swear I freak out about the stupid weigh-in every time.

I'm 12w5d, so I'll soon bounce off to the other preggo thread and I'm sure oversaturate that board as much as I have this one. :lol:
 
Re:

Hey Jas! That sounds great. Glad the m/s is mostly gone for you. I hear ya on the carbs thing!

Just wanted to put a little advice out there.

Take note - do NOT watch "make room for multiples" on TLC prior to your first ultrasound.

Just a tip :-)

(yep, going for an u/s this aft. Will report back)
 
Re:

Jas- YAY for a great scan!!! Hmmm. Lemonade is fine- not great, like I'm not craving it, but I can definitely drink it. Good idea! Last time sparkling water and Sprite helped a lot- this time I can't get that down either. Dr. Pepper and tea is the best, but obviously trying to use that for worst case scenarios only. Luckily I have some good decaf tea so I am pretending like all the hot water I put in it counts as water. ;))

Muff- Good luck with your u/s!!!!
 
Re:

Mm...Dr. Pepper is the BEST!

Okay so I just had my first ultrasound. They did both over the belly and transvaginally since I'm early on. The baby (eek!) is measuring at 6w, 2days. Not sure how that is possible since the first day of my last period was the 16th of September, but I'm guessing the measurement corresponds to the 'fake' conception date doctor's use (2 weeks prior to real conception, right?).

Anyways - she said she saw the heartbeat so that was really cool :-)
 
Re:

Muff- Yay for a heartbeat!!! :appl: How far do you think you are? I could be wrong, but I think the measurement is actually the measurement of the little bean, not based on your LMP or conception date. So if you are off date wise, the measurement should be more accurate. But I'm not sure!

When's your due date?
 
Re:

Muffdog - Hmmm so if going by your last period you'd be 5 weeks 5 days pregnant, but I don't even like to go by that. If you ovulated late then you wouldn't be that far along anyway. So you're measuring ahead...that's not such a bad thing!! I figured out how far along I was because I knew my ovulation date which would put me at exactly 8 weeks today, but baby's size was measuring 3 days behind at my u/s last week...so I lost a few days! I think they say no more than a week behind is okay, which doesn't concern you at the moment because you're ahead anyway! They didn't let you see the baby on the screen? I got to see the little heartbeat flickering :bigsmile:

Jas - Glad to see you're still doing well and that your ultrasound went well also!!


I'm scared to see how much weight I gain in the first trimester! I am still able to eat anything, nothing has made me sick yet! And I'm hungry ALL THE TIME! I think I could eat a full meal before bed and still wake up hungry, although I haven't tried it yet. The thought of going to bed with a full stomach just doesn't sound appealing! I found out one of my friends is due the end of May. Her husband and my husband were best friends growing up and our kids will be going to the same school when it's time. How cool! Our babies can be friends :mrgreen:
 
Re:

I don't know my DD other than what the online calculators say.

Maybe someone can help.

First day of last period - September 16
Cycle length - last two cycles were 25 days.
Dates of BD (don't judge - we weren't actively trying - just not preventing!) - Sept 25, October 6 and October 8.

My guess is we conceived the little acorn on September 25 because of my short cycle. This is further confirmed by the fact the babe is measuring at 6w2d (which would be REALLY impossible if we conceived October 6-8, right?).

Anyways - maybe I just have a jumbo baby? Is that a problem?
 
Re:

MD- So the doctor didn't give you an estimated due date? Hmmm. Well the due date calculator says you're 5 weeks preggo and due June 22,2012. But it only took into account your LMP and not the length of cycles, etc. It would make sense that you're 6w if you ovulated earlier.

I got my BFP on September 17th, so it makes sense that you are about a month behind me (I'm due May 23). Either way, don't think it matters that much at this early stage- and it would be more worrisome if you were measuring behind.

Either way, yay for a heartbeat and that all looks good.
 
Re:

China - I have a son who turned two years old a few weeks ago.




Early Pregnancy Symptoms - Ok, so I know every pregnancy is different and I'm trying reeeeally hard not to obsess, but my symptoms seem to be somewhat lacking. Sensitive nipples, hung-over feeling during the evenings only, and tired (not full blown exhaustion like I experienced with DS), seem to be my only symptoms. With DS I could barely brush my teeth without gagging and dry-heaving, was hormonal and almost from the day I got my BFP with him, I couldn't keep my eyes open and had to sneak out to my car during the workday to steal little cat naps. Granted, I'm only 4 weeks right now, but my first pregnancy just seemed different early on.

I continue to take HPT's in the AM and they are progressing nicely and getting darker each day. Guess we'll find out for sure after my 1st appointment on Nov 10th!
 
Re:

China - nope, but it was just an ultrasound technician though. I had to get an ultrasound before my OB would book my first appointment. So I guess it makes sense.

Sugar - I'm the same. My boobs might be getting a bit bigger, but otherwise I'm slightly tired, feel hungover often (mostly in my stomach - you know, that rotten, I just pulled an all nighter and I *think* I'm starving but nothing sounds good feeling) and I wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I have to (sorry, TMI) poo.

:-)
 
Re:

Muff- glad to know we're both sharing the same barely there symptoms. I'm now 16DPO and I test every AM using the cheapo Wondfo's. Test line is now almost darker than the control line. Will stop testing at 20DPO.... :tongue:


How is everyone else doing?

We're supposed to get snow here this weekend. Craziness!
 
Re:

Can I share in the almost no symptoms? I feel like I could be on an episode of "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" besides AF still being gone!

Sugarpie, it's snowing here already in Southern PA!! Last I heard 4-8 inches. Just crazy!! I have nothing to do today so I can enjoy watching it from the inside of our house instead of attempting to drive in it if it was during the work week.

8 weeks today. I have felt like it's been going so slow but I caught myself saying "I'm already at 8 weeks" doesn't make much sense, I know! I have one more normal work week before we have our big sale for work. I have to go away for a week! Totally and completely dreading it! I have to be a cashier too so when people want to pay for the $100,000 horse they bought, they come to the cashiers. I get stressed out over it. The amount of money just freaks me out and I am always scared to mess up! This is my 3rd year at the sale and I still don't feel any more confident handling the transactions. Please wish me luck! Oh and this Friday I have to be at work at 6am to help pack up computers. A pregnant lady packing and lifting....should be fun. They know I'm pregnant, I wish they would just sit me out for this one! My OB didn't give me a lift restriction so I have no real excuse. She said if I've lifted before pregnancy than I can do it now. They don't give restrictions...she said if I saw someone that fell and needed help up, I would help them right? So no limits. Seem strange to you?
 
Re:

Wow Missy, can't believe you're already 8 weeks! You moving right along, lady!
The fact that you don't have many symptoms gives me hope! Maybe we'll be the few lucky ones who never have to deal with them?

Good luck at your work sale. I would be nervous handling that kind of $$$, too! Take it easy and take breaks when you have to. They can wait for their $100k horses! ;))

I will also be traveling next week for work. Making a presentation to the CEO of my company. My luck, my pregnancy symptoms will kick in just as I'm getting ready to present....

Waiting for the snow up here in MA. :knockout:
 
Re:

Hi ladies!

Choro, glad you got to catch up with your mom and tell her! I hope you are one of the lucky ones and MS stays away!

Missy, how cute is your MIL! Glad she's so excited. I'm curious where in SE PA you are, since it's not snowing in my neck of the woods (Media) yet. So jealous that you are avoiding symptoms. I think you should totally be able to get out of packing up for that work trip!

China, sorry you are being hit so hard with MS. Major props to your and Sugarpie for chasing around 2 year olds while going through the first trimester!

Jas, glad things continue to go well for you. Congrats on moving up to the big-girl thread!

Muff, glad you had a good ultrasound! I think you're right and you conceived around 9/25.

AFM, I'm 6w2d now. I really appreciate all the advice everyone gave about dealing with MS. It's definitely trial and error, I have good times and bad times. The preggie pop drops are helping as is lots of snacks. I try and make them more balanced and get carbs + protein. The end of the day is always miserable and I feel like a terrible wife for not even being able to think about food, DH is left to fend for himself. I keep telling myself this will eventually pass and try not to think about the fact that it could stretch until Christmas or even longer. I have my first midwife appointment on Tuesday night, definitely looking forward to that since it feels like a big step.
 
Re:

Steph I am in Adams County, literally minutes from the MD line. Still snowing here now! I forgot about you being in PA. We're Ravens buddies right?? 8-)

I forgot I do have one strange thing going on. My abs feel so tight like I've been working out all day! Anyone else have this going on? I'm guessing it's all that growing and moving/rearranging going on in there!
 
Re:

Ah ok Missy, I grew up in Frederick so not super far from there. And yup, go Ravens, although after Monday night I'm a little embarrassed to admit I'm a fan. :nono: Hopefully they turn it around tomorrow!
 
Re:

jas, are you over to the big ladies yet? weeee, for reaching the milestone!

Muffdog, so excited for your ultrasound! Were you able to figure out where the baby is? I can never make out those pictures. So did the doctor not tell you your due date? Oh, and did you tell your parents? Sorry you have ms already!

sugarpie, you're so early! Maybe you'll start your symptoms in 2 weeks? At least I hope it stays away for you during the presentation!

Missy, what do you do? Do you sell horses? I would love handling that money! Makes me feel powerful :mrgreen: But I can imagine it's completely different when you have such responsibility. As for lifting, are you talking about computer towers or CRT monitors? I wouldn't worry about computers or flatscreens, but I wouldn't lift a CRT monitor alone even if someone paid me to. Hope someone can help you. And yay for sexy hard abs!

steph, eesh, nausea until Christmas sounds awful. I hope you can at least enjoy some Thanksgiving dinner :(

AFM, I'm perhaps feeling some ms. I feel motion sickness all the time, especially until I eat lunch. It's worst when I cook while I'm hungry. Still, I wouldn't have paid attention to this yuckiness at all if I didn't know I was pregnant. This is the downside to me being oblivious to everything. Whenever I'm sick, I never realize it until someone makes me check my temperature. My mom thinks that I'm feeling yucky because I WANT to feel some symptoms. On the other hand, if this is what ms is I can handle it. DH is just going to have to deal with me saying "Bleeaaahhh" all the time. It helps me when I'm teaching or being really busy. First ultrasound next Friday! Have a great week, and sticky thoughts to everyone!
 
Re:

Steph - I grew up in Westminster! So funny we lived so close and then both moved to PA! Let's go Ravens, they better not disappoint us like last week!

Choro - I work at a horse farm. We breed horses and then sell them once they're a year old. Yeah, we'll be placing monitors and towers in plastic tubs to lift onto the trailer. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the thought of bending over and lifting for an hour just seems like too much. I wish you could take my place then, because the thought of handling money scares me! :errrr:
 
Re:

Hi ladies. How's everyone doing?

Had my second dr appt today. She tried to hear the HB with the doppler but couldn't so I got an u/s. I didn't realize that I was literally holding my breath until the technician said that the little gummy bear was super wiggly. :appl: All looks great, measuring a bit ahead at 11w1d (am about 10w6d). Have had major headaches, which she said was normal, esp at the end of the first tri/beginning of second. Also she said not to worry too much about the fact that I can't drink water, add some Gatorade and just keep trying. Surprised that I am only up a few pounds, I feel F-A-T. I know a lot of its bloating but it's so uncomfortable. I'm ready to jump into maternity pants already. :cheeky: First go round I didn't break out the mat pants until 20 or 22 weeks, but I'll be surprised if I make it past 12 weeks this time.

Finally feeling marginally better- mornings are great, sickness kicks in again after lunch, but that's better than the all day assault of the past month! I am so ready to 1) feel better and 2) get into the second tri and know all is ok so I can finally relax and start getting excited about the reality of #2. Right now I am still holding my breath.

It's funny with #2. I've been through it before, so I don't really have the excitement and the discovery of everything going on, but I am also more stressed and worried that something will go wrong since we had a loss last time. I thought I'd be all laid back and peaceful. ;)) Not so much! I am a bit more relaxed about the "rules"- I've had caffeine in small amounts, ate a hot dog last night (YUM. Don't worry, I nuked it). But I am more stressed about something going wrong.

Hope everyone is having a good week. Did everyone have a good Halloween? My 2 year old was super into it this year, so it was so much fun. I am sad it's over, actually. Kids make some things so much better. :love:
 
Re:

China, glad things are looking good for you still! What was O for Halloween?

Missy, small world!

Choro, sorry you are feeling a little bit of ms. Can't wait to hear how your US goes!

AFM I had my first midwife appt. tonight. DH was a little skeptical about using a midwife over OB but he really liked the vibe of the practice so I think we are decided. The appointment was just talking to the midwife and getting bloodwork done, I didn't expect an US but still just wish there was a way to know everything is where it should be and looks good at this point.

I actually have an OB appt scheduled next Tuesday...I was supposed to have my annual two weeks ago, called them to say I was KU, and they rescheduled me for that date. But I knew I was leaning toward the midwife so I called them as well. Technically I could probably cancel the OB appointment but I'm considering keeping it just because I'm pretty sure they will do an ultrasound. Is that so wrong? Otherwise I won't get one until 12-13 weeks if we opt for the NT screening. Or if we opt out of that she said they would still schedule one at some point to check dates. What do you guys think?
 
Re:

Chinacat - Awww another u/s and he/she was all wiggly! How cute! Glad that went well for you! I am actually pretty laid back with this being my first pregnancy, which surprises me. I usually freak out when I have no control over a situation, especially when it's my body!! I've heard that you seem to show faster with a second pregnancy. Do you have a little bump going on? ;)) I can't wait til I get one, right now I just feel jiggly, yet tight in my abs at the same time!

Steph - Yup small world!! If you need the reassurance, which I'm sure you do, I would keep the OB appointment if you believe you'll get an ultrasound. It made me feel much better after that and I've been laid back since that day. Glad your midwife appointment went well! Not sure how your insurance works, some only cover one ultrasound usually around the 20 week mark. I wasn't too worried about my coverage because my work covers whatever insurance doesn't pick up and since I haven't reached the $6,000 deductible, I have been receiving bills for all of my prenatal stuff so far. My bills have been $1,180.72 so far and 2 I haven't even be billed for yet. The ultrasound alone was $330.

Afm, still feeling the same. I have no excuse for wanting nothing but junk food, but I do! It's not that I'm nauseated or anything, but healthy food just sounds blah to me! Trying to work on that.I had my first crazy pregnant woman cry today! But it turns out that DH agreed with me in the end, so maybe it wasn't so crazy. The last 2 weeks after work he's been going straight to his friend's house to hang out before I even get home, maybe about 2 - 3 times a week. Normally I don't care, but I'm leaving for a work trip next week and I want to spend time with him! He texted me right before I left work today and said "is chicken okay for supper?" I said "Yes, that works for me". He writes back "Okay, you can make it then I'm over Aaron's, be home later" :o I kept running it through my head "He's only joking with me" to "What the heck is he thinking???? That was so mean and rude!" So I wrote back "Great" and he asked if I was mad haha. I told him I wasn't and that we'd talk about it later. When I got home, we were out of milk and I needed it for dinner! So I cried! Sobbed! Because we were out of milk! DH texted me and said he'd be home by 6 and I told him "Okay, I just ran out for milk" and he's like "Oh crap I totally forgot. Just leave dinner, I'll make it when I get home!" So he appologized when he got home and said I was totally being reasonable and he had a bad day at work and didn't want me to come and him take it out on me somehow. So after the Michigan football game on Saturday we're going out for dinner, he said anywhere I want to go, then shopping since I may need some new dress clothes for work next week and then to the movies! We're gonna see Puss In Boots haha. Totally a kids movie, but it looks cute! That was my sob story, turned happy! I just want to fast forward to November 14th (skip right over my work trip!!!) to my next appointment. I totally wasn't thinking and scheduled it at a bad time AGAIN and DH probably can't make the appointment. I need to remember to schedule them for after 3:30 in the afternoon now!! My friend told me to bring a recorder with me incase I get to hear the heartbeat this time so DH can hear it later that day.

Anyone watch The Little Couple on TLC? New season premiers tonight and they find out whether their surrogate is pregnant. Pretty cool! I've missed a lot of episodes but it's on now so I'm playing catch-up.

Ok, I feel like I wrote a book up there! haha
 
Re:

Hi guys! Well, I wasn't expecting to join you in JBP quite this early, but here I am :) I guess I'll introduce myself for those who don't know me from the TTC thread. My finace and I are both 31 (oh, but we're paper married already). Our wedding is in 3 weeks. Our original plan was to start in mid-November so we would find out after our wedding and cruise (after the wedding, 21 of our guests are going on a week long cruise with us). A couple of weeks ago I had a little too much wine and convinced DF we needed to start then, since "nobody gets pregnant the first month of trying." And, here I am. I had been charting and using OPKs since June in an effort to really understand my cycles, and apparently it worked. We are both in shock but are very excited. I honestly feel a little guilty that it worked so quickly for us, when other people have been trying for months and years.
 
Re:

Welcome AMC! I went through a little guilt when I got my BFP quickly as well, but fertility is not a zero-sum game and you're not taking away someone else's opportunity by being a one shot wonder. So enjoy your pregnancy!

Missy, I would have been so angry with DH if he had pulled that! Glad he agreed he was out of line.

Hi to everyone else! It's been quiet in here, what are you all up to! Choro, I know you had your first appt today, how did it go??

AFM, one great thing came out of my midwife appointment. She reccomended I try taking B6 + 1/2 a unisom for my ms. I started this on Tuesday night, and I feel like a new woman. I can eat foods that aren't crackers and bagels and pretzels! I don't spend all day thinking about how sick I feel! If any of you are suffering like I was, ask your dr. about trying this!

I waffled all week on to keep or not keep the OB appt. Ultimately I decided to cancel it. While I'd love to see the little bean, I think part of pregnancy/parenting is learning to let go a little bit and not be so micromanaging all the time, and I'm thrilled with the midwife care and can wait until my next appointment to hear the heartbeat via doppler and know everything is ok. And by then it will be almost time for the NT screen and I'll see the baby looking like a real little person. Of course, it helps that I couldn't get a straight answer for what would be covered for my insurance or not. :rolleyes:
 
Re:

Welcome AMC! :wavey:

Steph- Sounds like a good plan. While an u/s is nice, unless there's something to worry about, don't borrow trouble. ;)) Most drs/midwives assume all is well unless there is something that indicates otherwise. Glad you love your midwives- I love love love my OB, and it makes such a difference. She's been amazing this go-round and I really appreciate it. As for the B-6 + Unisom, my dr recommended that as well. I must be super stubborn (or stupid?) b/c I never tried it. Do you just take it at night? How much did she recommend taking? I don't think I could do it during the day (unisom makes you sleepy which apparently isn't a good attitude for work :cheeky: ) and my sickness is all day, but not late at night.

I'm rocking a rubber band around my jeans today. It's super sexy. :eek: Can't remember who asked, but no I don't have a bump yet. Just that in between is she fat or is she preggo look. It's mostly bloat- look normal in the morning but obviously preggo (to me) at night. But I'm being stubborn about busting out the mat clothes. Soon though, I feel it.
 
Re:

Congrats AMC!!! I had a feeling it was a true BFP! :bigsmile:

China, I've been rocking a rubberband everyday! My jeans are just too tight around my belly with bloat and all so it feels so much better with the rubberband!
 
Re:

steph, yaaay, I'm so glad you found a solution for your ms! I just switched to midwife today too, but I won't meet her until December. I didn't know that insurance limits the number of ultrasounds! That sucks. Glad you got to hear the heartbeat though! We didn't get that.

missy, I still say no to lifting CRT monitors! And I hope your DH apologized veeeeeeeryyy well to you about the chicken comment!

amc, congratulations! And I completely understand your guilt. Enjoy your pregnancy! And YAY for drunken decisions! So are you going to be okay with no alcohol for your wedding?

china, a regular rubber band? I've got to get creative like that...

afm, had my first appointment today. My OB did a transvaginal us, and it wasn't fun. We got to confirm the little bean is in there, but it's a 9mm blob. Am I horrible for not having the magical gushing moment? At least the little heart flickering made me smile :D. DH was sad because he wanted to see tails and gills. The ob said that the heart is flickering at the right rate, which decreases the chance of mc. The bean measured at 7W0D, EDD is June 22! We told IL, SIL, and my sister, so all the direct family know now. My sister gushed "Holly S*** You're going to be a mom!!". AAAARG! I never heard those words! We're so not ready!
It turned out that my ob is pregnant herself, and she's due in February. So we switched for a midwife, which I wanted anyway though I would have been comfortable with this doctor. Next appointment will be on Dec 1, but they told me it will just be a chat. I'll get the screening blood drawn then as well.

I didn't know that they take urine samples each time, and I went right before they called me in. Obviously I know nothing of these routines. Luckily I pee so frequently now that I could go after the appointment.

I got the green light for skiing before I hit 4 months! Yay!

Click to expand...

Yep! I almost think it will be a fun challenge. I'm really not a big drinker but between 35 people at our rehearsal dinner and wedding and 21 people on the cruise, it's going to be fun to try and hide it. I'm going to enlist my maid of honor to help with it. Like she can go to the bar to get us drinks but get me cranberry juice in a martini glass or something. The only place where I might have an issue is with the champagne toast. Maybe I'll just fake sip it, put the glass down, and get distracted.
 
Re:

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello! I never thought I'd be over in this section! I was told I would not be able to get pregnant without some major medical interventions. DH and I made peace with that and decided not to pursue fertility treatments and to just be happy and child free. I had/have Graves disease and my Endocrinologist wanted me to radiate out my thyroid. I just had a gut feeling that I really didn't want to do that and after a lot of research online I found several cases of people taking my same birth control pill (I was on it to control cysts, not for bc) who suddenly developed Graves disease, so I stopped taking it. Within a month my thyroid returned to normal function and I was pregnant!

Since my "periods" were normal on the pill I decided to track them to see how long they were off the pill. I'm really lucky because I'm an ultrasound tech so I was keeping track of the cysts on my ovaries and I noticed one day I had a dominate follicle! I went home told DH this might be our only chance because it certainly looked like I was going to ovulate and we decided to go ahead and try with the expectation that it probably wouldn't happen but that it would be great if it did...and it did!

I tested early and the day of my missed period and both tests were negative. I was ok with that as I didn't expect a positive and went on with life but about a week later I was sick as a dog with cramping. It was the worst cramping of my life! I was literally doubled over, throwing up from the pain and it just didn't stop. I started to worry it might be an ectopic pregnancy since I still hadn't had a period so I took another test and it was positive! I couldn't believe it! I still can't believe it! So I went out and bought 3 different brands of digital tests to confirm and sure enough they were all positive!

I called my doctor and got in to see her the same week (still no gestational sac was showing on vaginal ultrasound) and she did my beta to see where my levels were. She also reassured me that while they don't know why it occurs, they do see extreme cramping like I had go on to normal pregnancies. My beta came back lower than my dates by LMP and she thought I could be miscarrying but also told me that I might just have ovulated a day or two later than thought (you don't know the exact date a dominate follicle will release an egg, you just know its coming soon) and that would account for the beta being lower. That was on a Friday and sure enough when I went to work Monday I had a gestational sac! The cramping started subsiding that day as well and lessened over that week. I saw a heart beat the Friday after the sac appeared and I love being able to watch my little Peanut grow!

I'm being cautiously optimistic as I'm afraid of miscarrying. I feel like this is my little miracle baby and I just don't want to lose it.

Wow. I didn't mean to write a book on this but I'm just so excited and I've been reading all of your stories and I wanted to jump in and join you all! I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have about confusing ultrasound stuff!
 
Re:

Just popping in to say hiii....

CONGRATS stepcutgirl! What a miracle! Sending lots of sticky dust your way and hope all goes well. I too have Graves disease and recently had a MC, but back trying again and very hopeful as Dr thinks the Graves and MC were unrelated. Do you take anti-thyroids? What changes have you made thus far?
