Due in January, February & March 2019

I have had every symptom under the sun with all my pregnancies! Only difference this time was sore boobs for weeks and my 24 hr nausea turned into evening only.nausea at 8 weeks. Never had linea negra, had freezing feet with dd4, no rapid hair growth and carry all the same - wayyy out front. I think my boobs got bigger quicker this time tho, so my owt symptoms are all over the place!! Didn't really want any sweets or anything this time only healthy stuff up until about20 weeks which is not like me at all lol even one cookie had me feeling really sick. Now I could eat the whole packet :)

jumping in with some symptoms/OWT's ive had with my pregnancies..

4 boys (and 1 girl which ended in loss) without sore boobs, then 2 girls with very sore boobs, hmm maybe a girl thing for me i thought..WRONG baby #8 boobs soooo sore i dreaded taking my bra off and....boy!!

1 boy and 1 girl without sickness, 1 boy with horrific sickness and the rest (2 girls 3 boys) all inbetween, last few babies (both genders) have been mainly evening sickness.

splitting headaches with DD2 and very dry/itchy skin with DD3.

ive had 5 boys and 3 girls and there has been nothing that ive had with all the boys and not the girls or vice versa :)

Ok atomic I'm taking you up on your offer... Just posted a new thread about my progesterone concerns :)

TP I agree with abc the one I have had with both my boys was hunger! So so hungry from very early on. Like, I'm a good eater (typical boy mum) but seriously I was like give me all the carbs!!!! I put on 25 kg with each pregnancy :omg: I'm only 4+ 2 now but so far no increase in hunger so I'm hoping that's a good sign!

Thank you Atomic I just posted a question in the ttc girl forum to bug you with:worry:

Hi guys! First post in this thread! I got my first faint BFP today. I’m either 8 or 11 dpo. Not really sure from a wonky chart this month. Im 37. Live in FL. I have 2 boys (4 and 5) and hoping for a healthy baby girl! Just estimated my due date as mid Feb!
I do have one question......I am taking 2000mcg folate daily. How do I wean myself off of this?

Welcome Kjoseph and congrats!!!!!! Very exciting!!! As far as the folate... were you taking that much b/c of previous losses? I take a higher amount too - 1,600-2,400 per day - and only the folate form, not folic acid. If you are only doing the folate form I would find a prenatal vitamin that has folate, not folic acid, and then do that plus additional folate supplements to stay at about the 2,000 mcg level you've been doing for the entire first trimester. Then after the 1st tri start weaning by spacing doses out until you're down the just what's in the prenatal. Prenatals usually have 800 mcg. Atomic feels VERY strongly about continuing the folate throughout the first trimester especially if you've had losses.

Kitten - I know, the hunger thing has me nervous already in terms of gender because I have been pretty hungry!! But it's not quite at the ravenous level that I was with my son and the level of hunger seems to vary by day. Today I could basically eat everything :) I feel like I really need protein though as I feel very weak and sluggish a lot of the time and I'm wondering if that's b/c of being on LE for over a year. It's like I feel my body is screaming at me to finally give it enough protein again!!! :)
