My appointment went well this morning. Still 2 sacs but the one is starting to lag behind. The main one is measuring right on at 5w3d. We could kind of see the heart beating. So unless #2 really starts growing it looks like we'll end up with just one.
She wants me to start taking a baby aspirin everyday due to having Factor V Leiden. She also said I may have to do heparin shots once the placenta develops.
I go back in a week to see how everything is progressing.
I don't know why, but I'm feeling so discouraged. All my symptoms have disappeared,except for exhaustion and I just feel like everything always falls apart so why wouldn't it this time. Waiting for Tuesday will be torture. I'm getting my weekly progesterone check today so I'm hoping that went back up. Debbie downer

I'm sorry you're feeling down. Fwiw, I had very few symptoms except exhaustion and occasional nausea if I was hungry, and everything was fine. I had three losses before C, so I was very worried about my lack of symptoms, but what they say about every pregnancy being different is true.

This was dw last week. She was so nervous but it was all ok so far. Some of her symptoms have come back which has mad her happy. This whole thing is so hard hugs.
Last u/s with the RE this morning. Both babies look good and I am officially released to the OB. I've been nervous because my nausea has been subsiding but so far, so good.
Thank you ssg73 and azurely! I have no reason to believe that things aren't going well so I just need to try and be positive. I think the exhaustion and hormones are getting to me! DH was out of town for 3 days and I was exhausted taking care of DD which didn't help. And she told me "there's no baby in there" pointing at my belly so I was all freaked out by that too. So silly and lame!!

It really is torture. I had a meltdown around 7 weeks because I felt mostly normal and I was halfway between appointments and I found some random thing to worry about and just freaked out.
Symptom monitoring is a total mindgame. There's no consistency, every day is different, the symptoms change, their severity changes, and I can't figure out what is leading to any of it. It's just random. It's so tough when you're trying to use them to convince yourself that you really are pregnant and that everything is okay.
Yes cactuscookie!! You're exactly right. Sometimes I wonder what it's like to have a normal TTC/pregnancy situation. I should be focusing on how deliriously tired I am and know that is a good sign!
bcarp30 I've been pretty much symptom free except some exhaustion. It's such a mindgame.
I'm so glad to hear this! Kind of telling how instead of being happy we feel okay it just makes us second guess everything. It's the worst mind game with the best result.
The best first tri would be some exhaustion and sore boobs. Enough symptoms to know things were still ticking along, but not enough to be horrible. For me, the downside to having less anxiety from weeks 6-11 was being so sick I constantly prayed for the sweet relief of a medically induced coma.
I felt the same way when I started feeling better! Then I thought I needed movement, which started Friday. Except I haven't felt any today so now I'm paranoid again. It's never ending I think.
loira I feel so bad for how sick you were! Are you feeling better the majority of the day now?
I'm much better now, don't worry. Still sick once in the morning usually, but that's it for the day. It was like this when I was pregnant with V, too. The majority of the sickness went away around 11 weeks, but I was still sick in the mornings up to 16 weeks. I can enjoy food now, and I've stopped praying for that coma lol.
