infertilitynovice - I'm in Derry. I used to live in Nashua until last year, then we sold our condo and bought a house. This winter is one of the snowiest, but at least it's not colder.
I think getting another beta is a good idea. I always feel better getting some sort of data once every week or so at the beginning.
I haven't bought maternity clothes yet, but I have considered getting my box of maternity clothes from last time out of the attic. I'm putting it off, though, because I weigh more now than I did when I was 22 1/2 weeks pregnant back in September. I'm afraid my pregnancy clothes won't fit me! I do have a few bella bands in that box that will come in handy in the next month or so.
I don't mean to be a downer, but I'm unlikely to buy anything baby related besides books and maternity clothes until I'm at least 28 weeks along. Last time I hadn't bought anything for the baby and then for my birthday a friend bought me onsies and socks for my very first baby items. I lost the baby 6 days later. It would have been a lot worse if we had a lot of baby stuff lying around. As it is, I can't wear the shirt I wore that day again. So I'll probably hold off for a while.
Anyhoo - I promise I won't be a downer all the time. I'm really not like this in "real life", I'm just trying to be cautious.
Welcome Leslie! We have our 1st u/s on the same day. Our beta numbers are similar too. I don't know how to compare IVF numbers to IUI numbers, though. It's different, right?
Welcome mommy2Nathan_TTC#2! Congratulations! Do you have another beta scheduled?
Congratulations chantalTTC and welcome! Do you have another u/s in a few weeks?
