Yay Starfish!

Wow! Lots of great betas today.

I was wondering if any of you are having any prego symptoms. The cramping I've been having seems to be going away, but other than that I really don't have any. Well, I feel like I'm wee weeing more and feeling full quickly.

Hi Jana,

I've had a few symptoms so far. It started with heartburn and being really tired. There were numerous times where I fell asleep sitting up in mid conversation. The day before my beta I started to have very light brown spotting and mild cramps. They went a way the next day but are back today. The doctor told me it's normal but of course it makes me nervous.

How have you been feeling?

[jana]

Fatigue is the dominant symptom. I can take a nap for 2 hours in the middle of the day. The cramping is subsiding, but I had grown used to it. I think I'm just worried because my betas haven't quite doubled in 48 hrs.

Im nauseas a few times during the day..tired, boobs hurt A LOT, and I was having some cramping off and on. I've had cramping alll day long though today..kind of worrying me. No spotting for me.

[Lacey]

Hey girls, I know it's easier said than done because it worries me too, but my RE's nurse said that the cramping is totally normal as long as you are not bleeding or having them so bad you can't stand up. Which made me feel a little better about it. She said there is a lot more stretching going on than you would think at this point.

As for my symptoms, heartburn, get full fast as well and today some nausea. Never sure what I want to eat. Something will sound good, but then when I get it, it's not that great. But hey, as long as I'm having symptoms, I'm still . Hope you are all having a great day. One question before I go, my beta wed. should go up to at least 480 from 240 today right?

Hey ladies! I just got back from the gym, and am happy because I didn't cramp today like i did yesterday...i'm really trying to lower the intensity of my workouts, which is kind of hard because i don't want to look lazy. Anyways, my cramping for the most part has gone away. I really don't feel any symptoms of pregnancy for the most part...my boobs are a little sore, but not bad. I have noticed my sense of smell is heightened, but not extremely. Like Lacey said, I am having a hard time deciding to eat, where that never happened before! From what I hear the symptoms really start to kick in at 5-6 weeks. I'm just trying to enjoy being pregnant and symptom free for now. My RE did tell me that if you aren't having a ton of symptoms, that doesn't mean that you aren't having a good pregnancy. So hopefully that eases some of your fears like it did mine!

Lacey - yes, it is supposed to double over 2 days, which I am sure yours will!

[starfsh25]

Lacey, I know what you mean about not knowing what you want to eat. I HAD to have chinese food last night. I made my husband pick some up and I had two bites and couldn't eat anymore.

I think your first beta was great. I only had a 86 for my first beta. Good luck on Wednesday!

[Kristens_12]

So I think i spoke a little too soon...just had dinner and am feeling a little nauseous. Oh well! I am thankful for the symptoms because i know i am ! Hope you are all having a good night!

[tina&will]

Congrats to everyone today on their awesome beta #'s!!! Mine is tomorrow at noon so I won't be able to post until tomorrow evening. I HATE not having internet at work! I started feeling queasy today and haven't had much of an appetite for anything other than almonds and string cheese. I'm a big dairy fan and that is what my body is calling for right now. Cheese, milk, but no yogurt. I think I'm having some lower back pain, not a lot, just enough to notice it. Like I've been standing on my feet for too long but I sit at a desk (accountant) all day. I already feel like my belly is showing for someone that is 3-4 months along but I guess that is just being bloated? I will say I can't suck it in like I used to though! Pretty sure that is a good thing!

I'm hitting the sheets early tonight, 830pm. I'm tired. Talk to you tomorrow night!

[Passionscientist]

HI everyone! Sorry I've been quiet...but man the nausea has hit! UGH! Nothing sounds good, everything smells bad...I want to just lay in bed. My dinner consisted of ritz crackers . I think part of my problem is I had a pretty bad headache and that's messing with my stomach...I hope that is it because I'm in for a long 9 months! LOL!

Hope everyone else is doing well...I'm off back to bed again...will catch up tomorrow...

[*Christin*]

Ok i really dont know what the heck just happened..but about an hour ago I started having stomach pains..that turned into my stomach being in knots, and the area underneath my breasts and in between them was on fire..i was in SOOO much pain!! i couldnt get off the floor..my husband didnt know what to do and neither did I. I've never had that happen. Is that heartburn? Because if it is I do not want that as a symptom at all!!!!
It lasted for about 10 mins..I felt so dizzy during it..and the pain was almost unbearable. I wasnt having any cramping in my uterus everything was in my stomach and below my breasts. Has ANYONE had this happen?????
I plan on asking my OB tomorrow..it really scared the crap out of me.

[historyteach]

Christin - i don't want to diminish what you went thru, but have you thought about heartburn... i was on meds that caused heartburn so bad i couldn't move and all i did was dry heave

as for the symptoms - mine come and go. the sunday prior to my beta i was getting light headed and sick to the stomach in the middle of church that i actually had to leave. for now i am having cramps, and my breasts hurt so they haven't left a cami or bra except for the shower since last week

i hope that everyone is have a fablous pregnant day

[*Christin*]

I thought it could be heartburn..but i've never had it before so I dont have any idea what it feels like..if what i describe sounds like heartburn then HOLY HECK..i never want that crap again!!! i thought heartburn was just being uncomfortable and then you pop a tum and your alll better just like the commercial!!
