HI!!!

How far along are you? I am 12 weeks today!
Team blue, pink, or green? Don't know yet. Hoping to find out soon!!
How has your pregnancy been so far? Thankfully, it's been uneventful. Still really scary though. I worry most if not all the time. I am trying to enjoy it. I'm hoping in a week or two when I hit the second trimester milestone, I can. I still have m/s, but not as bad, and actually, it helps me stay calmer. LOL
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? I had a missed m/c last March at 10 weeks. Getting past that 10 week mark was big for me. But as I found out about the loss the first week of March, and that's where we are, I'm back to freaking out a bit. I have my NT scan on Thursday. I'm just excited to get a chance to see the baby!!

How far along are you? 18w3d

Team blue, pink, or green? Dont know yet but will find out on St. Pattys Day!! As long as lil booger is showing the goods!

How has your pregnancy been so far? Hasent been too bad. A lil stressful from finding out my risk for a baby with Downs is higher but Im trying to think positive.

What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? I think alot for me was just getting past the emotional side of having a loss. Once I started to get past some of that we was able to conceive again.

Belly Pictures Please! Ughhh.. I dont like these but since I love you girls... This was a few weeks ago when I realized I did have a lil bump even though Im a fluffier gal.

How far along are you? 28 weeks! I'm in the 3rd tri!!

Team blue, pink, or green? Team PINK

How has your pregnancy been so far? My 1st tri was awful, I lived in constant fear and felt terribly sick all the time. (I had several bouts of unexplained heavy red bleeding, with constant brown spotting in between - turned out to be nothing that affected the placenta or fetus though, amazingly.) I lost ~10 lbs. My 2nd tri was very good, I got my energy and appetite back and had no more complications. I gained a lot of weight and now I'm at a great weight. Now entering my 3rd tri, I am still doing well emotionally and health-wise, but having more fatigue and heartburn and discomfort than a few weeks ago. My belly is getting so big that I'm not as agile or physically capable so I can't do as much, but it's also wonderful to be so far along!!!

What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? After I had the really traumatic ectopic rupture and lost my right tube, I was extremely worried that I would not be able to get pregnant, or I would have another ectopic next time and lose my remaining tube. My cycles were wonky after the ectopic. I had already been TTC for over a year (with 1 uncomplicated early loss) when I had the ectopic. Amazingly I got very lucky and got a sticky, womby BFP on the first cycle where we were really trying!!! I was doing OPKs and taking Floradix (iron + B-vit herbs), 1 mg folic acid, fish oil, and chlorella tablets, exercising and getting sunshine. TTCAL helped me learn about OPKs and my cycle, and gave me the emotional support I needed to get back into BDing and being hopeful. I

Belly Pictures Please! Sorry, those who know me know I don't do identifying pics. But I measured today and I am 38" around! And my belly button is mostly an outie now, I used to have an innie

JessP · #6 March 7th, 2011, 12:50 PM

Becca you look great!

momof6lopez · #7 March 7th, 2011, 01:07 PM

How far along are you? 6w4d

Team blue, pink, or green? Will not be finding out this time!

How has your pregnancy been so far? Emotionally draining, physically draining, lots of m/s. Spotting and several trips to the er. Got to see the h/b on Saturday and Today, growing good and the h/b is 131 now, from 123 on Saturday. Everythings looking good, just got to deal with this small bleed until it passes.

What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? I was not ttc, but NTNP. We just had Mia 5mo before this blessing. I was finally getting over the anxiety of her pregnancy and did not think it would happen so quickly if we were to get pg again, especially at my age. But, here we are, and I feel so very blessed.

Belly Pictures Please! To come.....I still have that pregnancy line down my lower belly from Mia's pregnancy. I will probably do a belly shot when Im 8wks plus.

MeganMomof5 · #8 March 7th, 2011, 02:30 PM

How far along are you? 8 weeks 2 days
Team blue, pink, or green? team green for now...I really am hoping for team pink, but i'll be happy with anything
How has your pregnancy been so far? It's been pretty good...I've been pretty sick and tired, but it makes me feel good to be sick...I started getting worried yesterday and I can't shake the feeling...I hope after my dr's appointment tomorrow i'll feel better about things.
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey?I've had 2 more losses (3 total) since I started ttcal...2 of my losses were in the 2nd trimester and were pretty hard to deal with...After my last miscarriage my cycles went crazy and My doctor put me on progesterone suppositories....ttcal is so hard, and I honestly hope I never have to take another hpt or opk again. lol
Belly Pictures Please! none yet, i've been too tired and lazy lol

Preggos:

How far along are you? 10w6d by my first u/s, but a more recent one (at work so off record) says about 6 days ahead of that
Team blue, pink, or green? should know by the end of the month
How has your pregnancy been so far? not bad, some m/s, but otherwise well
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? just the emotional aspect.

ashj_1218 · #10 March 7th, 2011, 04:25 PM

My first "graduate" update

I think I can safely feel like I belong here now!

Preggos:

How far along are you? I will be 10 weeks tomorrow!!
Team blue, pink, or green? So far, green. All "signs" point to blue. I still think pink

How has your pregnancy been so far? Stressful, but fairly easy in all honesty
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? I had four losses in a row from July-November (after a healthy pregnancy the year before) and we got RE testing that showed an antiphospholipid antibody issue. The day I was officially diagnosed was the day we concieved this baby

Belly Pictures Please! This was one week ago (9 weeks)

.:Shortcake:. · #11 March 7th, 2011, 04:28 PM

Ladies I love seeing this! Keep them coming

I can't believe how far along some of you are. Time seems to be passing so quickly.

tobi4 · #12 March 7th, 2011, 04:33 PM

Hi ladies!!! Hers a little update from me and belly bean!

How far along are you? 15 weeks 1 day
Team blue, pink, or green? We haven't found out yet, but we will and when we do, Ill be sure to update here!
How has your pregnancy been so far? Very uncomfortable. Ive had a lot of cramping, starting from 7 dpo. And it seems that Im not going to be able to be very active this pregnancy, as everytime I try to do anything I pull a muscle, or a tendon or something near my uterus and Im in pain for days! It happened again just last week and all I did was sit up in bed!!
What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? Mostly my age I think so I was on fertility meds, and I also agree with Becca, about having healed a little more since the m/c, maybe having an effect on my ability to concieve.
Belly Pictures Please!
15 weeks

SillyKitty · #13 March 7th, 2011, 04:38 PM

How far along are you? 8w3d

Team blue, pink, or green? Team green (will stay that way)

How has your pregnancy been so far? I've been a bit worried because my morning sickness hasn't been nearly as bad as it was with my second daughter, so a few days ago I made an appointment to go see my OB this coming Wednesday. Of course, as soon as I made the appointment, my MS hit. I haven't thrown up yet, but I'm nauseated throughout the day and it gets worse at night. I don't mind, though, because it is reassuring. It's weird to think that I want to be tortured, lol.

What were you dealing with in your TTC journey? We had two losses in less than 3 months and decided to NTNP for awhile. We were actually trying to avoid around O time for the first cycle. Fate had other plans, and apparently I O'd earlier than I predicted and here I am.

Belly Pictures Please! I haven't taken any belly pics yet, since it hasn't grown yet.

.:Shortcake:. · #14 March 7th, 2011, 04:46 PM

Tobi your belly is so freaking cute! And I cannot wait to find out what your having. For some reason I have a feeling pink for you

Shadeauxe · #15 March 7th, 2011, 04:54 PM

I enjoyed reading everyone's updates.

mary30 · #16 March 7th, 2011, 05:13 PM

Well I do not know if I belong since we were not really ttc.. But I belonged to your group when awhile ago . Before I was pregnant with Kaetlin .

Anyways

I am 16 weeks 2 days
I am on blue and the pink team.. We are having twins.. SURPRISE !!! Twins do not run in the family so we were shocked

This pregnancy has been scary.... I had a little bit of spotting during my 9th week. Just a couple days (nothing much ). Then around 11 weeks I started bleeding . Just enough for a pad. Called the doc and they got me in for a ultrasound.. When I got there and got out of the car I stood up and I soaked my underwear and pants. It was so embarssing walking up to the second floor that way. At that point I knew it was over.. How could it not be.. Well I went into the ultrasound when dh got there. To our surprise there were still two strong heartbeats.. However we did find out we had a large blood clot. They wanted us to come back in two days.. Later that night the bleeding stopped. Since then I have had two ultrasounds and the clot looks like it might be getting a tiny bit smaller and I really not bleeding ,other than brown spotting.. We also found out we were having a boy and a girl !!!!.. So I am taking things easy and hoping for the best

I have had 4 four losses 3 before 12 weeks and one at 20 weeks.

Sorry no belly pics from me .After 4 kids and 8 pregnancies my tummy is no longer cute !!!!
