Hi Ladies! I am so excited and yes, a bit nervous (until I see that heartbeat) about joining this thread. I just found this forum while on bed rest after my transfer a couple weeks ago and have enjoyed hearing all your good news.
Well, I'm no longer lurking and can tell you a bit about me ...
My estimated due date is May 19, 2009: my RE calculates from day of fertilitzation/conception which was the day after my retrieval. I have a lot of the same symptoms: nausea, cramping, frequent peeing, pregnancy brain, bloated, some occassional heartburn and major constipation.
My first ultrasound is 2 weeks from today ... UGH, another two week wait!!!! And my RE doesn't do 3rd or 4th betas, though I may ask to have one just to calm my nerves.
I was prepared for multiples after transferring all 5 embryos! But I'm thinking I've got a singleton from my betas - either way, just praying that the baby (or babies) continues to grow strong and healthy.
I'm really looking forward to getting to know all of you, cheering you on and sharing our experiences on this amazing nine month journey!
Best,
Nicole
