How is everyone doing? I am good still nervous about getting happy about this but at the same time I want to be happy so we are worried but happy lol I have another ultrasound on Friday and hoping for a heartbeat! Where is everyone else?

[coelh102]

Okay is it just me or is anyone else really wanting a relaxing hot bubble bath? I know I can't have one but some music on low with a big ole bubble bath sounds amazing right now! Oh and who else is so thirsty they can't stop drinking? Or eating?

[CrazyCookie]

I don't own a bath, just a shower, I haven't had a bath since I was about 13? I keep drinking water. Water water water. If there's water there, I'll drink it!! I'm also craving ice. I like to sit there and crunch it. Lovely. The only change food wise so far is my milk on my cereal. I'm now eating toast because the milk smells disgusting

[coelh102]

I have heard of eating ice a lot and thought it was a mineral deficiency, nothing that harms anything but then again I could be wrong, maybe that was eating clay and soap.

I am having some food cravings, like deviled eggs today and yesterday I wanted bacon I notice a lot of smells are a lot stronger and it sucks because I work at a hospital and when they serve lunch to the patients, I have to go eat because I get so hungry! Then I eat and 2hrs later I am starving again!

As for the bath, we have a jacuzzi bath and I love getting the massage too and always put regular body wash in the water and the bubbles come up and out of the bath and DH always ends up coming in shaking his head because I giggle like a little kid with the bubbles and our dog loves to jump on them and I put the bubbles on her head and she goes insane trying to get at it.

On Sunday night and early Monday morning (17th and 18th) I had some bleeding and cramping. Went to the hospital with my DH and was tested for hcg levels, they were 415. So today I had a follow up appointment to test again to see if they'd risen. (I also had a transvaginal ultrasound at the hospital but they couldn't see anything because it was too early). So I've been to my appointment today and told the dr about me crunching ice. She took two files of blood and said she'd test my iron levels hoping its nothing serious!! And now I'm waiting all day for her to call with the results...

[CrazyCookie]

The dr called back with my hcg test results... They've risen to 906 and my iron levels are fine too

[coelh102]

Awesome! Thats a great number! I pray my numbers are in or around 8000-9000 on friday so I know that I am progressing the right way and I pray for a heartbeat! When is your first ultrasound?

[CrazyCookie]

Thank you!! and it's on the 5th of April. Good luck with yours!!

Great Beta numbers guys!

For me, I had been drinking about a pot of coffee a day and a beer at night so I decided I would switch to Italian sodas I got a 12 pack of club soda and some raspberry Torani syrup and am happily sipping away on it. I think I will order a few other flavors on Amazon because I like to mix things up a bit. SO GOOD and easy to make! And it's 12oz of water in each one so that's good too

Great reports and betas ladies!

I won't have any appt. until 8 weeks. 4th time around for us, so we just wait. I have had one really bad spell of nausea...that's enough to last the entire pregnancy for me. The off and on feeling that my cycle is coming and really hungry at night. That's all.
Busy preparing for our spring break vacation at Disney World April 1st.

This sounds like me. After miscarriages the last two pregnancies, I can't help but be nervous. But, being anxious won't help anything, so I'm trying not to think about it. I know my body can carry a healthy pregnancy, so I'm trying to be positive. I haven't had any appointments or labs yet, but I do have some symptoms. I think the labs make me more nervous, to be honest! Once I get one done, then there's the waiting for results. And then you're just waiting another two days to have another test and get those results. I think I'd rather just wait until I'm 6 weeks and get an ultrasound, but the doctors never want to do that without having done a beta.

[beanpop]

Alright, maybe we can try to start this thread up a bit? Anyone out there??

I'm still impatiently waiting for some real symptoms!! No weight gain so far so that's good (last pregnancy I gained like 15 lbs in two weeks because I had to quit smoking). Also impatiently waiting for our U/S on May 2nd!

DD is going to my mom's house for the weekend. They're coming to pick her up tomorrow. I will spend the next three days sewing like mad to try and get these orders out! I am BEYOND swamped!

[midgetlb6]

Ahhhhhhhhhh the waiting game sucks, enjoy no symptoms while you can we all know all to well when they kick in they take over, I go in next Monday for lab's again and another u/s. Not sure I want to do that, still afraid it's to early to see anything and i hate stressing those things. So we shall see, why is it that when i don't have anything go on times seems to fly by like not enough hours in the day to normal things but when you have an apt to get important information time drags on sloooooooooooooowly. grrr. Like I sit here and ask is it Monday like I feel like I am walking around in a fog till that day comes, on another note, my trees were all taken down, 950 dollars later and the septic people come out this coming Monday to fix my lines, add to them, I will say it will be nice to do a load of laundry at home and take a hot bath instead 3 minute showers. I have dish hands because I can't run the dishwasher either. Oh and my husband got a promotion at work and 5,200 dollar a year raise so that was nice and he will get to be home more often, not at first initially as he has to go around different sites and do meet and greets but once that settles down he will be and when he has to go to south GA Savannah or Jacksonville FL area DD and I get to travel with him and hit the beaches, I can't wait. so that's what's going on at this end.

Hello everyone!
So I was just cleaning the kitchen when I realized my super pregnancy nose is back. I normally don't have a very sensitive sense of smell, so when I get pregnant I feel like I have a new super power. Are you girls experiencing that?

[beanpop]

Not yet! NO symptoms STILL!!! GAH! I'm still very early though and IIRC I didn't get any major symptoms until I was closer to 6 weeks with DD.

[lilya003]

I have been super aware of scents the past two weeks. It really bothers me. I am not sure if this is in my mind or if I am experiencing pregnancy nose. But I know I don't like it!
