So, not only is it crazy that women who've experienced miscarriage wish away their first trimester, but women who experienced miscarriage also want to feel like shit.
I don't.
Some days I feel kinda gross, but other days (like recent days), I don't feel bad AT ALL. Of course, this makes me wonder, am I going through another miscarriage? God... I hope not. Please no.
I haven't felt "growing" cramps since Sunday (it's Thursday), I've had a headache pretty much all week and this morning I woke up and my boobs didn't hurt.
I just wish I would start projectile vomiting all over the place or feel so bad that I can't even get out of bed -- just so I know everything is OK.
Please let everything be OK.

Want to Cry Wolf
So, I'm back in the state of mind that I'm not pregnant anymore. I'm still exhausted and my boobs still hurt and are pretty big, but I'm not starving like I have been, I still have this headache, and I haven't had cramps since Sunday morning. I'm freaking out.
When I had my miscarriage, I continued to feel sleepy, my boobs continued to be large and sore and I had a funky headache that wouldn't go away.
It's Wednesday. I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to make it until 3p on Friday to see my doctor.
I so badly want to call the doctor office and say that I experienced some bleeding and ask if I can go in for an ultrasound... but I fear that crying wolf is only going to jinx my chances of this pregnancy continuing and me getting a great gift at the end of it all. So, I won't call. At least, I won't call and make up a lie. If anything, I will call and explain my fears and see if they will take me a few days early for my appointment.
I can't think straight I am so nervous.

9 weeks and counting...
It's so sad that women who go through miscarriages wish their first trimester away. The day I found out I was pregnant I couldn't wait to be past the 12 week mark so I could enjoy my pregnancy and be filled with happiness and joy instead of fear.
Today is 9 weeks (although, my last ultrasound makes it seem like I'm further along) and yesterday I started getting a KILLER headache. I am well aware that headaches in pregnancy are common, however, during my last pregnancy, I didn't have any headaches and the week I started getting them was the week I miscarried. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but thankfully I go back to my doctor this Friday (God bless a doctor who is sensitive to high-maintenance patients who've been through tragedy before) for another ultrasound and checkup -- hopefully all will be well.
Women should be able to ENJOY their pregnancy from the moment they see two lines on the stick... I cannot wait until the day when I'm able to fully enjoy this pregnancy and not feel like I'm in a constant state of worry.

10 DPO
I was supposed to go to the dentist today to get a cavity filled, but because I'm not sure if I might be pregnant, I figured it was better to put the appointment off since I would have to get Novocaine at it anyway. I figure, I have one miscarriage under my belt already, I'm going to do everything in my power not to have another one if I ever get pregnant again.
Anyway, it was really difficult again to get out of bed. But maybe these are just symptoms I get before I get my period? Plus, have another mild headache.
It's almost noon and I seem to be getting minor cramps. :(

9 DPO
Well, I woke up today EXTREMELY tired. Totally thought about calling into work and saying I had to come in late. I also woke up with a pretty sucky headache -- it felt as though I had one too many glasses of wine last night (FYI -- I drank no alcohol last night). Also, I was pretty hungry all morning (and still kind of am, even after eating a little something before leaving for work).
Still a little dizzy today when I stand up too fast.
And perhaps a little gassy? :)
Still extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely tired. Like... could face plant any second. It's been like that all day and it's 3:15p right now...
I wanted to CRASH after work. Unbelievably tired. I slept from 7-7:30p, but then had to take my dog to the store and for a walk. For the 2 hours I wasn't home, I felt like a zombie. I also had REALLY minor cramps that last maybe an hour at the most.
