I've only known I am pregnant for a week, but it feels like forever. I had forgotten just how slowly these first few weeks go by.
But, first, let me say - Wow! You all totally rock. It is amazing to see all of the comments on this weblog and to know how many people are rooting for us. How could anyone go through this alone?
I haven't had any more betas done since 11 dpo, although I did just call and ask for another one. My intuition is telling me that everything is alright - and I'm trying to go with that. I've felt a little more nervous than usual today, but in general, I feel really at peace with everything. Which is totally weird - for me, anyway. I'm really trying to let myself enjoy being pregnant. There's no use trying to distance myself or not get attached - it's much too late for that.
As for symptoms, here they are:
o My biggest symptom is fatigue. I don't remember it setting in this early before. I'm taking at least one nap a day, and by about 8 pm, I'm totally done.
o I'm really hungry. Really, really hungry. If I don't snack all day, my brain starts to shut down and I can't function.
o I started having heart palpitations yesterday
o My teeth feel like they're in need of brushing all of the time. This happened to me last time, but I had forgotten about it.
o I have crazy blue veins all over my breasts, chest, neck, arms, and stomach.
o I'm ridiculously grumpy (a nicer word to use than bitchy, which is probably more accurate). Poor John.
o I've been getting queasy around 10:30 am every morning.
o Headaches throughout the day.
o Very sore in the chest region
o Craving cheese. Lots and lots of cheese.
I'm sure there's more, but I'm hitting one of those parts of the day where I just can't think. I think it's time for a nap.
One more thing...I haven't been able to stop myself from continuing to
take tests. Here's a comparison of 14 dpo and 16 dpo - test line is on
the left.
The lines getting darker is good, right? Please?
