WHEN I FOUND OUT

I was able to actually find out I was pregnant by 4 weeks to be exact. I had my last period July 30 and it ended August 4th. As I waited oh so patiently for my period to come at the end of the month as I ensured it would be here on my Clue App – I have been using Clue for 6 years and it’s a wonderful app that shows you and explains what your cycle means, saves all sorts of data and is pretty accurate of your cycle.

5 WEEK BUMP

When I finally took a pregnancy test I was 3 days late of when my period would have arrived and with my anxious state of needing to know I took 6 tests. One was a first response and that was honestly the test I knew would confirm what the other tests were saying.

I downloaded the What to Expect when Your Expecting App which I used for my God-Daughter to track the progress and I knew this was not only a reputable app but would be able to tell me how far along I was. I did my due date calculation and it told me I was 4 weeks.

4-6 WEEK SYMPTOMS

  • Hyperemesis Gravidarum (I couldn’t hold down liquids or food)
  • Constipated
  • FATIGUE!
  • Food Aversion!
  • Breast grow 3 cups (36C to 36 DD)
  • Lack of motivation

These honestly only got worse as time went by & I didn’t know what to do! Good thing I was able to get into my OBGYN when I was 8 weeks to get a nausea medication that helped me tremendously. Ginger did not help, morning sickness teas and drops, ginger tea, crackers! NOTHING! The only thing that truly helped was the medication I received.
