7 weeks

Today I am 7 weeks pregnant

I can't stop throwing up or feeling sick but such is life

My boobs feel like someone has hit them with a hammer. 

My nipples could cut glass all day every day always. 

I have my first scan on Monday (also my birthday) and am hoping desperately that everything looks good. 

I only have 5 weeks after that til I go to England and if everything looks good at week 8 then I can tell my mom in person!

So being pregnant, so far, is the most wonderful fucking terrible experience of my life. I love it and hope it continues. 

2838

My hcg drawn on Friday was 484. It should double every 48 to 72 hours. So bein drawn on Monday morning (72 hours later) they wanted it to be at least 1000. My level is 2838. Apparently the bean is trying to stick around. 

Still pregnant!

Spoke with my dr today and he says yes to progesterone although apparently my levels are great (21) so will be taking that until I am 12 weeks. 

Means more nausea, more tiredness, more breast pain. Lol but also means bean may stick. Whatever it takes. My doc is calling in a script for zofran on Monday but so far it hasn't helped. Looking for pregnancy pops online. Hopefully they will!

Don't know whether to take progesterone

Previously Adam and I have had a couple of tests come back positive but they have never held. When the last one didn't my ob did a progesterone level and said it was low. He then wrote me a script for progesterone and said to take it when I got pregnant again after I had a level drawn. I had my level drawn yesterday and asked his office if I should take it or not and they said they would check with them. I never heard from them. I then emailed him last night and he asked me a couple of questions but the still hasn't told me what to do. Gah!!!!

Surprise!

We have been talking about having a baby for a while. When we didn't get pregnant we went and talked to people, were tested, everything was fine but sometimes it just happens. 

So the advice was to try and lose weight. So I did. 60lbs. I am still going and trying to lose more but maybe now I'm not. 

I felt sick for the last 4 days, my boobs have been sore for a couple, looked at my calendar this morning after I have hardly slept the last few days and realized I was past due. 

So, as Adam was leaving for work, I took a test (he hung around to see the results) and

He didn't have to wait long it only took a few seconds to come back positive. 

So yeah. It's very very very early days and we will see if it sticks but, if it does, then late sept there will be a baby. 

Eeep

Waiting for hcg and progesterone levels my ob took this morning to see if that's likely and trying not to be too excited ( moving makes me sick) but yay.
