The only foods that really sound at all appealing are fresh fruits and veggies (raw, no dressings...). I guess that at least at this point, I'm leaning more toward food aversions than cravings. I'm 10weeks 6days today, and I still feel this way! They weighed me today at my ultrasound appointment, and I lost another 5 pounds from my last appointment (2 weeks ago). Oh. An easy way to tell if you are ectopic or not is to get pregnancy tests (not digital ones) and make sure that the test line keeps getting twice as dark every 48-72 hours. In ectopic, the hCG will start to decline instead of keep increasing. Or, you can contact your doctor's office and request quantitative hCG tests 2 or 3 days apart to make sure the level is doubling.

I was having cramping and of course being as paranoid as I am called the Dr. and said it was just ligament stetching and that it is normal. Then earlier this week I felt no cramps and was pretty comfortable, now I am wondering if no cramps is not normal? I started feeling little cramps again last night but still curious if I should feel continuous cramps or there may be a problem.

I felt them off and on. Sometimes I was on the ground in pain from the ligments stretching and sometimes nothing for a week. Now, I haven't felt those pains in a couple weeks, and I saw the baby dancing and being all wild and crazy on the ultrasound today. My friends also have told me that their pains faded with time.

Yah. I felt the period-type pain, too. Thought I was going to get my period! Was just baby implanting, and even women w/out endo commonly experience this. Wait until you feel your ligaments stretching! You can buy the pregnancy tests that have the test lines (not the digital ones) and test every 2 or 3 days to make sure the test line keeps getting darker. Just keep them on the bathroom counter or somethign and line them up to keep watching the hCG level rise. It's pretty cool! I did it until my doctor realized that I didn't get ordered to make sure the hormone was rising. He was glad to find out that I was tracking it on my own.

I did it for the first couple weeks. I was so scared I was going to have another chemical pregnancy or early miscarriage. I just wanted to make sure it was doubling. I actually was able to use the OPK's as preg. tests for longer than the HPT's bc the control line on the OPK's I had was SOOOO dark! (I had tons of both kinds so I did little experiments and then compared those values to the betas my OBGYN had done.)

I just took prenatals and *tried* to eat healthily. Unfortunately, I barely ate at all during the first tri. I hope that's not why my baby is SOOOO small!
