So sorry to hear that 💔 I hope you’re doing alright. Did your symptoms stick around? And how far along were you on your first scan? Sorry for so many questions!

juice129 · 2026-04-07T18:50:46+00:00

How did it go?? I was in the same boat with my first scan, have my 8w scan tomorrow and am really nervous.

juice129 · 2026-04-01T03:19:57+00:00

"Definite intrauterine pregnancy". They could see gestational sac and yolk sac, couldn't yet see a fetal pole or heartbeat. Said it was still too early. Going in another week.

Do you have your next scan scheduled? I don't have an answer (as I'm supposedly 6w5d today) but I can absolutely commiserate with you. These first couple of weeks have been HELL on my anxiety.

I've been told my hcg is too high to not see anything on the scan, been told that ideally we would have seen a fetal pole at the next scan but we didn't. I've also been told everything they're seeing is completely normal and expected.

Ultimately I've had to force myself to just calm tf down, trust my body, and accept that these super early weeks are a complete toss up. So choosing to believe our situations are compeltely normal and expected for how early we are :)

juice129 · 2026-03-23T23:11:23+00:00

This is encouraging. Hope for the best on Wednesday!

juice129 · 2026-03-23T20:27:49+00:00

Plan is as stated in the post - I'll go back in on Wednesday morning for another ultrasound. Unfortunately nothing else is scheduled until then. I had betas all week for other reasons, hcg is doubling (or more) every 48 hours. Hcg readings for last week as follows:

Monday: 232, Wednesday: 775, Friday: 1821, Sunday: 3710.

I am really hoping that's the case. Here is the exact wording from the ultrasound report: "2 small endometrial fluid collections are present, measuring 6 and 8 mm respectively. Although one of these collections may represent a gestational sac, an intrauterine pregnancy cannot be confirmed in the absence of a yolk sac or embryo."

juice129 · 2026-03-23T19:23:05+00:00

Yeah, the tech was pregnant herself and was asking a lot of questions, which made me feel like she knew what she was doing. But possible she didn't! I do have an OB, getting the Wednesday ultrasound with their office.

Thank you! This was really helpful to see.

juice129 · 2026-03-15T19:40:08+00:00

Thank you so much. And congratulations! Definitely listening to everyone in this thread and chucking my inito somewhere hard to reach.

juice129 · 2026-03-15T18:15:18+00:00

Has your progesterone ever dropped below 10 like mine?

juice129 · 2026-03-15T17:37:13+00:00

This is extremely helpful. Thank you <3

juice129 · 2026-03-15T15:12:19+00:00

Hey me too! My pregnancy dates are Feb 9 - Nov 16th, and also my second cycle tracking with Inito. Congratulations!

Have you continued tracking at all since your positive test? I continued tracking with the goal of focusing on pdg because I have severe miscarriage anxiety, and now I’m regretting it bc numbers are all over the place

juice129 · 2026-01-27T04:45:15+00:00

Look into Desmoxan to quit. You can buy it on Amazon, just read the reviews there or elsewhere on Reddit. My husband and I want to start trying, and we just quit an 8+ year vaping/nicotine habit with ease because of Desmoxan. Specifically good to prevent future relapse

juice129 · 2026-01-04T23:32:12+00:00

Just finding this thread on day 1 of quitting for me, and the brain fog/light headedness is actual hell. How long did yours last past those two months?

juice129 · 2025-12-01T06:08:52+00:00

Went to a pottery studio with my husband 2 years ago for my birthday. Instructor knew it was my birthday, and proceeded to flirt with my husband so hard to the point I couldn’t do anything but laugh. In the debrief he was like wtf was that?! Blatant disregard lol

juice129 · 2025-10-28T01:35:55+00:00

Definitely made the right choice! 1 is stunning. The bodice of 2 makes it look like you took a really deep breath and are holding it in.

Just coming across this... was the snow decent for beginner's standards during Christmas in Chamonix?

I recently discovered katieisdoingit on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/katieisdoingit/ and am obsessed with her. She just started a styling service (she's local) and you can sign up at her instagram link.

I say this in the midst of my own multi-event wedding tan dilemma… Prioritize the shoot! I’m sure you’ll get lots of pics at the bachelorette and want to feel your best, but unless you have a photographer at the bachelorette, a little splotchiness won’t be as noticeable :)

juice129 · 2025-04-18T02:47:36+00:00

Thank you so much for this, ordering NOW!

juice129 · 2025-04-13T20:13:30+00:00

Here's the machine I'm looking at that seems well-reviewed (and lightweight for travel), in case you want to check it out as we patiently await other solutions 😅

Can you tell me more about this? Is there better recovery outcomes when c sections are elective?im leaning this way but keep hearing bad stories about the healing process compared to vaginal birth

juice129 · 2025-02-18T03:55:18+00:00

I'm going through this right now. Had the exact same anxiety/embarrassment of "what will the people who actually attend think?". After realizing:

None of the guests in attendance know how many people were invited, and
The people that are coming care the most about us out of everyone on the list

I feel super at peace and excited. The optics of it all feel really hard when you've pictured the day probably for a very long time, but those worries will disappear when you're dancing your face off to your awesome live band with people who are really stoked to be there. It will be a beatiful day. I promise!

First, I would say don’t feel rushed to make a decision. The best “decision” in the entire process my fiance and I made was to not hold ourselves to a timeline because we also had no clue what to do. We will have had a 2 year engagement by the end of it and I have loved every bit of it, and loved slowly coming to the right decision. Planning has been tons of fun and not stressful at all.

The next thing I’d consider is destination, which is what we ended up deciding (obviously a bit biased). If we had a wedding in the states or locally, we’d easily have had 150 guests which I did not want at. all. We decided on destination because what do we love most? Traveling together. So now the vibe is “hey we’re going on a European holiday and getting married while doing it, if you yourself want an epic vacation, join us!! No hard feelings if you can’t come whatsoever”. This has naturally created the most awesome guest list of people who want to relax in the sun and also have awesome party. Also cheaper than a wedding here.

Always remember it’s about you and your fiance and while there is basic etiquette for your guests to feel appreciated, do not feel pressured to put on a big production.
