10 weeks 2 days

I felt an immediate change after stopping progesterone 2 days ago - like the fog lifted and I don't weigh 500 lbs. Felt like I had been walking around with an anchor around my ankle. Less bloated, more brain power. In the past day I have been having a little bit of tugging cramps, but woke up without them this morning. Had been worried it was uterus being off progesterone. But I think I'm good now. Still taking 3 Colace and 3 powerful probiotics a day with each meal. So far so good but by no means do I have a loose stool so I cant imagine what life would be like without the supplements. At week 9 my morning sickness got better for about 4 days, then it came back with a vengeance for 3 days but then leveled back out. Cravings right now are SALT SALT SALT. I didn't even want to eat a cookie yesterday and I usually love to indulge my sweet tooth once in a while. My go to snack at night time is beef bullion broth or lentil soup. I know, I'm weird. It is low cal but insane sodium so I have to watch it. I was doing sunflower seeds when I was real nauseated but then I got an aversion after about a week of indulging. I also crave subway and taco bell. The healthy stuff, eye roll. I still have to be careful not to undereat or overeat especially before bed (night time is worse for me). Feeling quite a bit more pressure on my bladder than I would like to at this early point in the preg. I need to work on my pelvic floor and get more active as soon as my body permits. I know it will be good for me however difficult the motivation factor is. I am already showing (bloat) and I feel like most people I work with are beginning to suspect. I will announce at 12 weeks. Possibly wait to 13 or later on facebook if at all. First OB apt will be in a little over a week. Hoping to get the ball rolling on genetic testing because I'd like to get the gender before my anatomy scan. Control freak here. Speaking of which, i still havent gotten a heartbeat on the doppler whereas i did with reese at 10 weeks - think i have alot more blubber now. Oh an the SCH small bleed was much smaller at my 9 week scan so hope that continues to shrink, and now i'm allowed to carry Reese again. Well heres hoping that 11 weeks doesn't bring back more nausea and that I'm out of the woods for the most part on that front. Toodles! PS as of right now I have a strong feeling this is a BOY.
