Hi Girls!

At 12 weeks, nearly 13, I thought that the sickness would be over. No such luck I think I have had more sickness now than I have throughout the whole pregnancy. I was reading and your HCG is at it's highest between 12 & 13 weeks because that is when the placenta properly takes over so I am praying that it will subside next week

How are you ladies doing today?

Dietician,

The past couple days are the first days that I've felt actually "tired", but I wouldn't say I'm so out of energy that I just can't do anything. Of course, it helps that I'm off for summer break and sleeping in every morning and going to bed early- along with just lazing around all day! So I'm hoping that's why my fatigue hasn't been more apparent than it has.

Sezzy,

Fingers crossed for you that your MS will subside next week! At what point did you start getting your MS and other exceptionally noticeable symptoms? I have been feeling pretty good up to this point. Breasts are very tender and as earlier said I have been feeling more tired! I still have a little of dull ache like cramps every now and then but it's not near as much as it was in week 3.

4w5d today!

Thanks LAAR,

I started feeling sick around 8 weeks but I actually starting being sick at 10 weeks. The worst thing for me was constipation & feeling bloated from 6 weeks until 12 week, I just felt so uncomfortable and couldn't bare to put anything in my mouth but was so hungry.
The tiredness has started to go but I have felt shattered for the last 7 weeks.
My midwife said that when you are pregnant, you have to listen to your body. If you are hungry then eat and if you are tired then rest.
Makes sense really.

I actually had a really rough and scary day today.

I work in a hospital and was exposed to a dangerous substance today but after calling my doctor and discussing the situation it sounds like my risk is minimal but you can understand I was quite panicked for a while.

Thankfully it's my Friday and I see my family tomorrow!

Hey y'all! I took this test (I'm attaching a link) 6 days before missed period mid morning and got a faint positive I think?! Then two mornings later (today) I took another test like it but the off brand version and it was negative. I don't know what to think? I have very very mild cramps sometimes in my abdomen and lower back. I'm extremely tired and have been getting non stop mild head aches. I'm anywhere from 10-12 dpo. Help!!!

I know I'm not the only one but this wait is seriously killing me!!!!! I am soooooo ready to see our little baby on the ultrasound screen! Tomorrow makes 5 weeks for me and then I'll have 2.5 weeks til ultrasound day! How am I going to keep myself busy til then!

And also I am dying, I mean DYING, to tell someone our news!!!! But I'm holding it in and hiding it well. I plan to let our parents know after the ultrasound- but probably won't let the rest of the world in til 12 weeks. What are all of your plans for sharing the news?

My closest family and a few friends knew we had been doing fertility treatments again so we told them. They all understand that it's early and we don't want to make it a big deal until 12 weeks.

Unfortunately due to what happened at work, people at work know but being in the health field they get I'm early and won't make it a thing until I'm ready to celebrate.

I am actually glad to stop making visits to the doctor until the ultrasound. I'm 5 weeks today!!!

I just want to see my family today and enjoy time not stressing. It's been such a rollercoaster for me with my blood tests and then the exposure yesterday. Me and tiny baby seed just want to chill out this weekend. ????

I can completely understand that! I hope you and your little seed have a happy fourth!

Good morning ladies! I took one more ClearBlue Digi this morning as I've been trying to track progression with the weeks estimator!
