Thanks for all of your input into my dilemma about when to have the u/s. I appreciated all the perspectives. After going back and forth (many many times) I decided to leave it as is- the big day is one week from today, I will be 6wk3days. I don't even know what to think about that. That is probably a post for another time. Because to be honest- I don't think I am emotionally ready to think about it quite yet, let alone write about it. I SO want that day to come and yet at the same time I never want it to come. We have only ever had bad news at OB u/s. We have only ever seen that awful, empty black sac. Empty. Friday, just 1 week, is decision day.
On the symptom front, yesterday was the first day I can say I felt pregnant all day long - I was nauseous like crazy, exhausted, belly was so bloated by the end of the day, the girls hurt like mad and felt like huge watermelons. It's a bit rough, but it brings me relief- it makes me feel like I am contributing to the process by putting up with all those symptoms. And it gives me hope that all might be okay.
I did some looking at my old blogging and my journal I kept (Before I started blogging, which btw I have been blogging here now for 2 years, crazy) and I realized that with both of my miscarriages the pregnancy symptoms - mostly exhaustion, sore/big girls, and nauseousness- didn't start until right at 6 weeks and faded mid way through the 7 week. I thought that I had started feeling pregnant much earlier, so it was interesting to confirm that my symptoms last time started later in the pregnancy than I recalled.
Today was a milder day symptom wise, but the symptoms were still lingering. And the "hit by a semi-truck" exhaustion is undeniable. I have crawled into bed before 7pm multiple times this week. Tomorrow is the first day in AGES that I can sleep as long as I want and I am so so looking forward to it.
Weekend.
One full work week.
u/s.
Deep breath.
I am wondering about multiples with the symptoms you are having (though I think your tests would have been positive a bit earlier, but STILL). In any case, I think it's FANTASTIC that your symptoms are so strong, and, I hate to wish this on you, but I hope they keep getting worse and worse!
ReplyDeleteOh, and got your FB message. . . I also checked my spam folder and nothing from you. So strange?! Let's plan a date soon!
How exciting :)) The exhaustion is amazing in T1... look after yourself and get plenty of sleep. Looking forward to hearing all your good news to come xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am just so happy for for you. Thrilled. Just breathe and relax and the time will pass. I hope that it passes quickly. Enjoy every moment.
