But I feel the same way, I've never miscarried, so I really have no reason to think I will. I've calmed down a little. I can't wait for my u/s on Monday!

Oh gosh, I hope no one thinks I was playing down what people who've suffered a miscarriage have gone through. That's such heartbreaking stuff.

I had my second beta yesterday, and it came in 314, which left me feeling much more reassured. I have another on Monday, and I'm hoping to see another nice climb in the numbers. But so far everything is great.

Oh... except yesterday was our anniversary, and I was so tired by 6 p.m. that I declined a nice dinner out with my husband. Instead, we climbed into bed with a good movie, some take-out food... and I was asleep by 9 o'clock! So I guess the "tired" thing is finally kicking in.

Doing well here. We need to get crackin on our thread! I go for my u/s tomorrow. I have been very emotional this week. Everything makes me want to cry. I've only felt sick occasionally. Is anyone else feeling sick yet? I hope I can escape it like I did my last pregnancy. I am also exausted! All par for the course! I am nervous about my u/s tomorrow. I hope everything is ok in there!

That's exciting about your u/s! I won't have mine until a week from Tuesday, on the 19th.

Is prometrium a suppository? I'm using something called Endometrim, three times a day... and yep, I'm bloated too. I'm not crabby yet, but I'm definitely more emotional than normal.

yep - not fun

morning sickness hasn't officially hit yet - just get woozy every now and then during the day where I think I'm going to get sick.

The fun part of this is that my dh is in a "cleaning mode" where he feels that he needs to organize everything and he should just start now...I'm good for nothing right now because I have RA really bad in my ankles and I'm walking/moving really slow

Angela -- PLEASE let us know how the ultrasound goes tomorrow!

NotChicken -- That's fantastic that your husband is already helping out like that. Mine has been great... i even got breakfast in bed today! (But that's mostly because I won the bet about our beta numbers... HA!)

Hi Fellow April mommies,

I would love to join this thread.

According to the IVF due date calendar I am due April 14, 2009. Which is my son who passed aways birthday.
Its a Gods miracle..

Even though I have always been 2 - 4 weeks early I really dont see us having the baby ( god willing ) on the same date.

Is there anyone with no symptoms?

Hi Barbara, we're glad you're joining this elite little club.

I've been absolutely stunned this time to find that my symptoms are so vague as to be almost unnoticeable, eExcept the increasing indigestion. No morning sickness yet, (I can headly believe it!), and while I'm not all peppy and energetic, I'm chalking that up to summer heat more than pregnancy.

How about you?

Your little one is definitely God's miracle....And his reminder of how much he loves you and always has.

Hi girls! I have been a nervous wreck. I have had two days, where I have had 1 dose of light (and I mean light) spotting on the toilet paper only. I guess that is over. If I have no symptoms I freak out and I freak out at every twinge. I have not gained any weight but I eat all the time and my stomach looks like I am 4 months pregnant. I love it! I am always exhausted, my breasts are growing and I have to urinate every three hours. Everyone, including the doctor is guess I will have at least twins. By the way I look and my progesterone level. That would be fine with me. I am so excited to start hearing all the bean counts. I pray for your girls every night that we will have a successful pregnancy and happy/healthy baby/ies! Good luck to all the upcomine u/s's! Try not to stress! Because were PREGNANT!

I was worried about the lack of vomiting on my part actually so I talked to my mom....turns out she had next to no symptoms with her pregnancies too...so....I chalk it up to that. Usually we emulate our mothers I guess in this area. LOL. I do get nauseated but I'll say I have never vomited with one pregnancy that I have had.

My ultra sound is a week from tomorrow. I cannot wait. I get the rest of my beta results on the 14th.

Keeping you all in my thoughts!!!

You know what I keep saying I believe in God and its his will. Well I think I am going to prove it to myself today.
I dont have to go for betas until wed. I was going to sneak in today. Just to put my mind out ease with prog. level being low, and I wanted to make sure the beta went higher too.

But I am not going to go. I put all my trust in God and I have to show him I do have faith. So as hard as it may be I am going to wait until wed.

Every one have a good day..MONDAY uuuugggghhh.

God Bless..
