Hey girls how are you all feeling?

Hopeful23~ Good luck. I can't wait to hear if there is more than 1, did you do an IVF cycle? I don't remember from your little ditty in your siggy. Preggy brain already. HAHA

All the beta numbers sound wonderful, has been a bit freaked out, since my last one at 19dpiui was only 311 and the nurse made it sound like it wasn't a succesful pregnancy, but the dr says it sounds like its progressing normal. I can't wait for my U/S next week. However, I was told when I was pregnant with my DD that I don't produce enough HCG because I never got a + HPT with her and I have no clue what my beta #'s were. So who knows, maybe its the same way again. My beta was only checked twice with my son and it more than doubled in a 48 hr period.

Ok anyways so ? for you all. How many of you have gone from feeling pregnancy symptoms, then a week or 2 later, feel nothing or notice a decrease in symptoms?

I woke up this morning, not feeling my usual nausea, grabbed my boobs to make sure they hurt, and it wasn't as bad as yesterdays, My cramping is just slightly there. I just don't know maybe I am overanalyzing this. Some input for you all would be greatly appreciative. I am hoping I am not the only one this crazy...lol

My symptoms have diminished. The fatigue is still here, but the feeling of being full and the food aversions have basically gone away. The boobs hurt of and on. Other than that I haven't really had any smptoms. I do wonder if I should still be having mild cramping off and on. It seems to come and go and that scares me.

Hi all. I've kind of been worried because I havent had any nausea and really, I havent been that tired either. My boobs are a little sore and I have hellacious heartburn...so I guess that's enough. I will tell you- I feel SOO bloated. It hurts when I sneeze or even when I roll over in bed. And my clothes are so uncomfortable. I know its way too early to be "showing", but I had already put on about 15 pounds in the last two years during my IF journey. I attribute my weight gain to all the drugs, emtotional issues and the miscarriage. So I was already feeling snug in my clothes. Now I just feel like a water balloon. And I'm pretty sure my boobs are growing already. In sum, I feel icky. Not that I'm complaining! I love it!

KIM - you sound like me!!! I don't feel much of anything and my boobs don't hurt a lot either. I have a lot of the water retention and I look 4 months pregnant! I feel your pain...I put on about 35 lbs in the last year with all this stuff. I broke down and bought maternity pants just to be more comfortable and some loose t-shirts and stuff to be more comfy.

Mamaof2,

I feel the same way, but I actually had some spotting and I FREAKED OUT. The RE did not seem alarmed and checked my beta and it was fine. They said it could be the prog. supp. I took a few days for them to kick in, but now it burns slightly and I think is the root of the spotting. Oh well, if they are not worried, I am going to try not to worry.

I asked about the coming and going of symptoms, and they said it was out bodies striving for homeostasis. I guess out bodies are angry at all we put them through. Does the cramping ever concern you...I freak at every ache and pain.

Take care and talk to you soon,

Erin

Ok - I'm ready to join the party! I found out last week I am pregnant and we are soooo excited. My EDD is 3/15.

My betas started really slow are are finally at a point now where I feel like I can stop worring about them. my 3rd one yesterday was 607 at 19dpIUI. I have one more tomorrow and hoping for another good number.

I am now feeling pretty good- the cramping has mostly gone away although every once in awhile it will start up again for a bit. All of sudden starting today, I am really T---I---R---E---D. And I do have a few boughts of nausea every day (and night). I have been consistently waking up every night between 3 and 4am and then have a hard time going back to sleep because I feel so sick. No actual vomiting though.

I'm jealous of all of you have already had U/S!! How exciting that must have been! I'm not sure when I'll have mine, but will probably find out tomorrow once I get my beta results.

I'm so impatient now to just get to September so that we can start telling people and we can really start planning. We told our parent, and I told my supper club (a group of girls who get together once a month and cook together) because in the 4 1/2 years we have been meeting I have never once turned down wine. They were aware we were donig the whole fertility thing, so I knew the minute I asked for water the cat would be out of the bag.

I'm looking forward to sharing the next 9 months with all of you!

Kristen- I think i'm going to have to do some shopping myself this weekend. I took me forever to find something to wear today that felt comfie. And still, I'm not all that comfie.

Kbs - the more pregnant Kims the merrier Were not telling anyone either- and this Friday I have my monthly girls poker game and I was thinking the same thing...when I pass up the beer they are going to be totally suspicous. My best friend knows, and its not that I dont want them to know. Its just that if they know they are going to make a huge deal and be all excited and well, as excited as I am inside, I'm trying to keep it all low key atleast until I get passed the point I was last time. September is my "tell everyone" date too. So Friday, I'm just going to make something up and hope it flies!

Erin are you taking prometrium? I have been on that since 7dpiui and honestly I don't know if the symptoms I have is from it or from pregnancy this is the first time I have EVER had to take it. I am actually starting to get Nauseous again and I am getting tired. As far as the aches, pains and what not, I am actually the opposite with this pregnancy, If something has stopped I start freaking out, This is my third pregnancy/baby and it is so different from my first 2.

Ok here is a semi personal ? for you.

Is it normal for your vajaja to hurt somewhat? I am not sure if its from the prometrium and it comes and goes, I kidna remember having this with my son, but not sure. I kinda get a stabbing pain every now and then.

Ok I am off to get my son down for a nap so I can take one 2... check back later.

Mamaof2,

There is nothing too personal when it comes to fertility! LOL! I am taking Endometrium (sp.) and I swear it is irritating my Vajayjay and causing the spotting. It is not red blood so they are not worried. I know this is TMI, but what the hell. This endometrium is suppositories and they look like a vitamin. I wish they were a softer material...I think my body dislikes the pills.

I hope this helps...I have had aches and pains all over! My RE says it happens as a reminder of the changes that are to come.

Christin I am soo excited for you, I have been worried about you all day and checking on here all day waiting to hear the good news. i am so glad you heard the heart beat. I have been more worried about you today than me. Since we both are in the same situation I am soooo glad you saw the fetal pole and heartbeat that is so cool. I feel relief for you. I have mine in the morning. Cant wait.

Congrats on the ultrasound, Christin! I can't believe you not only got to see the heartbeat, but you heard it too! That is so exciting!! I can't wait until my next ultrasound...12 days seems so far away!

Good luck tomorrow, Natasha!

Welcome to the new people who have joined! I am doing well today...faught nausea quite a bit today and am just exhausted, otherwise I am not that different. I'm finding it is hard to eat (and if you knew me you would realize it is amazing I am saying that! ) Have a wonderful night, ladies!!

[*Christin*]

Yeah when we did the transvaginal ultrasound he asked if we wanted to hear the heartbeat too..so somehow using the transvaginal we were able to hear it. It was really neat!

Natasha- I'm sure tomorrow you will have the same results as me!! Cant wait to see your post!

[Kristens_12]

Christin - that is so exciting you got to hear the heartbeat! My next ultrasound is at 7.5 weeks (only 11 days away!), so I hope we can hear the heartbeat too!

Thinking of you today Natasha! the ultrasound goes well! Keep us updated!

[Kimnobie]

Congrats on the u/s Christin!!! We have 10 more LONG days until ours. I'm going to make myself crazy before then I know it!!
