@MaryM: Mrsjyw and ginabean3 had their babies.
@FliegepilzHut: You are sooooo close! I am so excited for you-- it's the best.
-
@auggiefrog: Congratulations! Third time was the charm for me and I really hope it is for you, too!
-
@auggiefrog: I am so happy to see you here.
️ Congratulations.
@MaryM: this list is a great idea, thank you for posting it! It makes me incredibly happy.
@FliegepilzHut: how exciting!
I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow, and that just feels big to me. (Double digits! A quarter of the way there!) My anxiety comes and goes, but I'm hoping to firmly say goodbye to it soon. I only have 1 week left of P, my dr said to start taking it every other day toward the end to help my body come off of it. I'm wondering if I should do EOD for a week, so I can "extend" it. Wwyd?
-
@Travelinmoon: I'm so sorry to hear about the previous loss of your babies. I see you mentioned a possible appt on the 30th but not being sure about being ready.... I hope soon you feel ready, get to go in, and receive wonderful news with great measurements and a good heartbeat
-
@auggiefrog: Welcome! So glad for you that you're experiencing calmness and hope!
@crystal: My doctor didn't care about "weaning" me off, but I chose to do an extra week with doses EOD for peace of mind.
-
@DesertDreams88: thanks for the reply! I think I might do that, even just for peace of mind. I wanted him to extend it, but he wasn't willing to discuss it.
-
@Crystal: I find it really odd that your ob would prescribe the exact amount he wanted you to take... my Rx was for regulating PCOS and supporting any possible pregnancies, so it was just for 6 refills of 30 pills within the next 12 months.
FWIW, it's really common to wean off sometime between weeks 10 and 12, I posted a poll about it here: http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-take-progesterone#post-2219907
-
Thanks for the welcome and positivity! My OB has me coming in Friday for a yolk sac scan, and the clinic that performed my IUI has me scheduled the Friday after for a heartbeat scan. Things to look forward too but also nerve wracking!
@Travelinmoon: Sorry to hear about your losses, but welcome!
@auggiefrog: Welcome! I totally get taking it slow but wanting to put some positivity behind it.
@Crystal: If you want that peace of mind, I say stay with it. It can't hurt. My dr wants me off my 3 meds at 10 wks but I will probably hold out.
@FliegepilzHut: Your DD *is* fast approaching! How exciting!!
@MaryM: Great DD; that's my birthday!
-
@simplyfelicity: @Crystal: @Kelli_Deluxe: Thanks, ladies! Hoping to be holding our little boy within a week or two!
-
Hi ladies. After a loss at 11 weeks and D&C in April I got a BFP this morning. Freaking the heck out. Will be due the same week of D&C assuming all goes well. I have one LO who turned 3 in June. Glad to be here and have some support!
-
@DesertDreams88: yeah, he is a little odd. I think he only gave it to me because I asked for it, but I truly believe I need it!
@Kelli_Deluxe: what all is he weaning you off of?
@FliegepilzHut: how exciting and wonderful!
@mamabolt: congrats on the BFP! We all understand how scary it can be, and are definitely here to support!
-
@mamabolt: Congrats and welcome!
@Crystal: Metformin, Lovenox, and the progesterone. I don't care so much about the Metformin since it was to help me O, but I'm paranoid about the other 2.
-
@Kelli_Deluxe: I hope your dr lets you stay on them for as long as you feel comfortable.
-
@desertdreams88: Thank you, I made my appointment for the 10th when my husband could go with me by then I should be able to see and hear everything I want! Still praying hard but I am starting to feel better about this time!
-
@Crystal: We're 95% certain.
I'll be making introductions soon! -
Hi ladies! I've been away for the last week or so with limited internet access so I've missed a bit!
Welcome and congrats to all the new ladies! (I tried to go back and find everyone to reply to but I didn't want to leave anyone out!)
Glad to see everyone is doing well!

April 4: Kelli_DeluxeMy anxiety is growing yet again because I have a check up Wednesday. I feel like my boobs have gotten more sore (they felt normal for a while once I got into the 2nd tri, but they're sore again!) so hoping that's a good sign. But I'll have to start special ordering bras if they get much bigger...
I've finally gained a lb. I never though those words would come out of my mouth! lol. But I was getting worried that I wasn't able to put on any weight. I'm blaming progesterone for killing any appetite I might have. But I do feel like I'm at least able to eat somewhat balanced meals now.
-
@MaryM: Love this list! Good luck at your appointment tomorrow!
-
@HappyBluebird: Thank you! work has been crazy this week so far, so that's made the countdown a little easier...
-
@MaryM: it always helps to be busy! Hope your appointment goes/went well!
-
It did go well! (though really short!)
She found the heartbeat easily, and my fundal height is actually ahead of schedule (which was reassuring, since the baby measured small in early USs).
But she confirmed that I should have stopped progesterone at 12 weeks, and I'm still feeling hesitant to do so.
My anatomy scan will be in three weeks (instead of four) which I'm excited about! But I scheduled it for a super busy work day so I need to move it. Which is a GREAT excuse because I wanted to change it as soon as I heard they scheduled me with the awful doctor we saw when we found out about my last MC.
-
Hi all. Not pregnant yet but had my D&C today so hoping to jump into this thread sooner rather than later!
-
@MaryM: Glad it went great! I'm wondering if I'm measuring larger, I have an appointment tomorrow so I'm sure I'll find out. I feel like I have a much bigger belly than other 5 month pregnant ladies! So glad you get to reschedule from the Dr you don't like!
@JoJoGirl: So sorry for your loss. Hope you are recovering as well as can be from the D&C and that we see you here very soon!
-
@HappyBluebird: I was wondering about the fundal height thing because all the apps say it should be halfway to my belly button, but I thought I felt it higher. I figured I wasn't finding it right or something. But I guess I was!
I feel like I look bigger than some in my due month, but I also started out heavier, so it's hard to compare.
-
@Crystal: @Kelli_Deluxe: And other ladies, thanks for the warm welcome!
@MaryM: Thanks for adding me to the list, you can add April 11 for the actual DD if you want! Glad to hear you had a great appointment.
@HappyBluebird: GL at your appointment!

@MaryM: I have a hard time figuring out where it is but I assume I just don't know what I'm feeling. I was definitely a little heavier than I should have been when I got pregnant so I'm not sure if it's that or the fact that I'm short. There doesn't seem to be alot of room for everything moving around!
@mamabolt: thanks so much!
-
@HappyBluebird: I wonder about shortness too. But she measured with a tape measure too, so I figured she would have "taken back" the long comment if it was actually normal, and she didn't.
-
@MaryM: guess I will find out tomorrow! I know I've been eating more than usual too so I'm sure that's not helping, though I've been trying to choose healthier snacks like fruits and veggies. I'm just so hungry ALL THE TIME!
-
@HappyBluebird: That's partly why I sort of want to stop the progesterone (even though I sort of want to keep taking it to feel like I'm doing something to help my baby!)
I'm still not that hungry. And although I'm firmly in maternity clothes, I've only gained 1 lb. I feel like by 17 weeks I probably should be gaining a little bit more...
-
@MaryM: The ravenous hunger has just hit me in the last 2 or 3 weeks so maybe it's not too far around the corner for you!
I'm sure it's fine and when you get your appetite back you'll start gaining more! -
Hello ladies! We welcomed our little boy last night! Benjam1n Arthur weighed 8 lbs 15 oz and is so very much loved!
-
@FliegepilzHut: congratulations mama! I'm so happy to see this! Love his name!
-
@FliegepilzHut: congratulations!!! I hope you and he are recovering well. Love the traditional but uncommon names.
Since you all are talking about measurements, when did you doctor start doing fundal or waist measurements? My ob hasn't done either, and I just saw him yesterday at 16 weeks. Then again, every appt has included an ultrasound, so..... Maybe he feels there's no need? I am huge for my dates, I'm not self conscious but I know I'm very round despite gaining a normal amount of weight.
Anatomy scan for me in three weeks too, @marym!
-
@FliegepilzHut: Congrats!
-
@FliegepilzHut: awww! Congrats!!!
@DesertDreams88: @MaryM: I can't believe you are so close to the anatomy scan!
@HappyBluebird: good luck tomorrow!
I'm 2 weeks away from our NT scan and announcing to our families. Life is great right now.
-
@FliegepilzHut: Ahhhhhh!!! Congratulations, mama! Isn't it the absolute best?!
So, so happy for you, girly!
-
@Crystal: @HappyBluebird: @MaryM: So many exciting things going on!! Are you all going to find out the gender?
-
@HappyBluebird: @DesertDreams88: @auggiefrog: @Crystal: Thanks!
@simplyfelicity: I am positively on Cloud 9!
Sleep-deprived but oh so happy... Can't wait for my milk to come in, though! -
@FliegepilzHut: just saw this & wanted to say congratulations! Enjoy the special baby bubble
