Is anyone really nervous about their u/s? Mine is Thursday and I pray there is a little hearbeat there. I feel so sick all the time and my boobs hurt like crazy..its nothing like my first pregnancy..so I really hope its pointing towards a strong healthy bean!!

My US is Thursday too, it is a critical one since the RE said they have to see the fetal pole and a heartbeat. My last US there was a sac but could not see a pole, yet. I am very nervous.I will be 6w5d that day. My last pregnancy I was able to the fetal pole at 5w. So this is very different. My cramps have eased some. My stomach goes up and down everyday, any my weight goes back and forth also.
I am P4 supp too. My Re has me on them since I am a high risk for MC. Just as a precausion.
I have not had much nausea. I am tired some but not like my last pregnancy. Sometimes I dont feel pregnant and other times I do. Scarey.

Hello & congrats!

Hello, all...

I just found out that I'm pregnant yesterday, to my -- our! -- complete surprise. I went off the pill in March after being on it for 13 years, and I didn't think it would happen so easily, but after one night of unplanned spontaneity, here I am: now due sometime in March. My first appt with my gyno will be on Mon, and I'll find out more.

My breasts are sore & swelling, I'm sleepy and cranky, I will admit: no morning sickness, that's why I didn't think that I was pregnant at all! I did buy pickles, for the first time in my life!, recently, though...:P I've also seemed to have lost quite a bit of my appetite! Go figure!

Other than that, I am experiencing cramp-like pains: on my lower/pelvis right-side, it's like a "pulsing" pain. Could it be implantation, or just the ligaments stretching? I felt it a lot yesterday, and not so much today -- only after moving a flower pot that I didn't realize how heavy it was.

So! That's that & I'm glad to be here. <--I just wanted to add her because she's adorable!

Christina

ndsm17- yeah its do or die for us on thursday as well..we have to see a heartbeat. I'll be 6w4d and I need to see some developement. I was 5w2d when we saw just a gestational sac. My last pregnancy was a blighted ovum..completely empty gestational sac w/out any fetal tissue present..so for me to feel OK I need to have something in that sac thursday. Its so nervewracking! I hope your u/s goes great though and you see your little beans HB!!

christina- welcome and congrats on your pregnancy!

Due Date Buddies

Hi Everyone! Congrats on your . This is such an exciting time and I am so happy to have you all to share the experience with.

My due date is 3/8/2009 and I went for my third beta this morning. Has anyone has any minor spotting? I am on Prog. Supp. so they think it may be that. We are just praying for a healthy number today.


I have had some symptoms....my boobs are sore and I have had some queasiness. The grocery store about sent me over the edge!


I am praying that our numbers are good today...Beta ne was 140 and two was 790 so the nurse said she was not worried. She referred to our bodies as construction sites.

Thanks for getting this thread going...wishing you all the best!

Erin

Erin, I haven't had any spotting but I hear it's normal for alot of women. Your beta numbers look great.

I noticed that most of you did IUI, but are any of you still doing injections?

Thanks Jana,

I thought my numbers were good but the spotting FREAKED ME OUT! I think it is the suppositories. Do you have any cramping? Mine is minor is off the sides but then I think all our bodies have been through to get here!

Erin, the only cramping I have anymore is due to constipation....I think. I'm on so much progesterone that I think that is what keeps const. Guess I need to drink more prune juice.....yuk!! Don't worry about the light spotting. Everything I've read said that's normal.

christina- welcome and congrats on your pregnancy!

I will pray for your US to go well, Come on Fetal pole and heartbeat.
Actually mine is Friday, I dont know why I said Thursday. Looks like we are right on track with each other. My cycles are usually 26-28 days, my Re has not told me my due date I just figured it myself. If I go with the 26 day cycle it will be Feb. 27, 27 day cycle Feb.28 and the the 28th day cycle will be March 1st. But I am also 6w3d like you.

to all the new people!

I just got back from my first ultrasound...I'm 5 weeks 5 days today. It was so exciting because they saw the "fetal pole" which I guess is the baby...and we were able to see a heartbeat! I couldn't believe it! They said that often you can't see it during the 5 week ultrasounds, but we did! It was 109 beats per minute which they said is right on track! I am so happy and so thankful! My next ultrasound is 7/22 when I will be about 7.5 weeks, so I am excited and nervous for that. They kept saying that it is still so early!

They did tell me I had some follicles in my ovaries that are shrinking down, so that if I feel any cramplike pain on the sides, that is what it is, so I am sure some of you are feeling that too! Good luck with everyone else's ultrasounds this week! I can't wait to hear about them!!

Kristen, that's great that the u/s went so well. Congrats! I'm so jealous you had you u/s already. I'm 6w2d and I don't have mine until the 16th. I'm so eager to find out how everything is going.

3rd Beta

hi,

I just got the call from the RE and my beta is now 1458! I am so thrilled. With the spotting I had this morning, I was sure that this was it. They said if it were a m/c the numbers would have evened out or dropped. I guess spotting is routine for them! I sheduled my first US for 7/16!!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well...Best Wishes!

Erin

Natasha- Yeah I have 27-29 day cycles but a short LP around 10-12 days. If i go off on my LMP I'm 7w3d but I know I O'd the weekend of June 7th (a week later than normal) so based off that my OB says I'm 6w3d.

Good morning everyone! I am officially starting to feel sick! Not fun! Just wanted to say congrats to the great betas recently and good luck to everyone with an ultrasound today! Can't wait to hear all the good news! It's fun to have a picture of your little baby, even if it only looks like a little bean!

Hello everyone... I found out last week that I am pregnant! I am due March 6th, I believe. My first u/s is on the 18th. I can not wait to see how many beans I may have, my Beta numbers are soo high, that I am thinking I might have more than one in there. But hey, the more the merrier.

I have been experiencing alot of nausea, off and on for about a week now, a little bit of pelvic pains (nothing too bad), and boy am I soooooo drained! All I want to do is sleep.

I just wanted to say congrats to all of you that have the awesome Beta numbers.. I am very excited to begin this awesome adventure with all of you!!
