Heather, thanks so much!!! I'm doing pretty good. I've been tired and bb's a little sore but other then that no m/s yet, knock on wood. How about you, how are your symptoms?
BTW my name is Melanie but everyone can call me Mel. JenniB congrats on your u/s. I bet that does make it much more real. When's your next one?

Yay Jenni! You must have been so happy to see your little bean! It still doesn't seem real to me and I know that it won't until I get to see my bean too. I go for my first ultrasound on Tuesday and I can hardly wait!

I was just wondering, have any of you been told by your RE to make an appointment with an OB yet?

Mel - Your beta # is great
  . I seriously am not focusing on the #'s (atleast trying not to) - I'm focusing on what my body is saying to me (right now it's HUNGER).Jennifer - YEA!!! You got 2 c your lil' 1's heartbeat. I can't wait until I get 2 do mine. I've added the "IVF" chart thingy below. Please update as needed and maybe use a different color on your name and update so that we all know what the update was - hopefully this will help us keep up (lol).Laura1490 - can't wait 2 hear your bean count. My update - I called my RE's office because I just realized that they didn't tell me to start my vitamins, which alarmed me. So I had to leave a message, and I left a message with the nurse's name that gave me my Beta results so that they would know. She called me back and told me to start them now (of course). Mmmm-hmmmm. We started telling ppl on yesterday. Due Dates Jennifer (May 2) Laura1490 (May 2) Heather (May 5) OhBabybaby (May 6) Laulu77 (May 10) Journey423 (May 11) Ballerinagirl (?) Megan (?) Jen (?)

I too am on Endometrin (3 x's a day) and it's better safe then sorry. So I would do what your OB tells you especially if you've had 2 M/C b4. Of course w/the Endometrin there's a lot of discharge (TMI - sorry) and I'm actually having to wear a pad so I'll be glad when I don't have to anymore - but I'm willing to do whatever I have to.

It is so much more real now.... I go in for u/s every Friday until 11 weeks when they release me to the OB. I am suposed to contact my OB next week so that they can bring me in for a prenatal visit or something.. I am not really all that sure. Oh well at least my RE's office is doing the u/s I get to watch the weekly growth.. Does anyone else get them that often?
Journey- Thanks for doing the list for us..

ultrasound at 7 wks for me too
I just found this thread and also have a May due date - I think May 11 or 12 based on the charts.
livebait - My RE is also not going to do an US until 7 weeks...seems like the 3 weeks between beta and US are taking soooo long. I think it's to make sure they can see heartbeat? And also one of their requirements for all new pregnant patients is to stay in town until 7 week US??? I feel like it is just a waiting game to see if I miscarry so that is the part I hate, and know there is nothing else I can do to control it. Not many symptoms yet so hopefully I don't get the nauseau. That doesn't sound like fun. I do feel a kind of pressure in vaginal area and some fluttering so hope that is just the muscles stretching and changing. I wouldn't say it is like menstrual cramps and doesn't hurt but feels like something is going on. Also very tired and have to pee---every ten minutes it seems!

Thank you the chart! It is awesome!!
I had to make a dash to go see my regular Endocrinologist yesterday because my TSH levels are already out of wack! I didn't know this but I guess the HCG levels can cause havoc on your TSH levels if you have thyroid issues. They increased my meds and I will have to go in every 3 weeks for blood work to make sure my levels stay in check. I felt super tired this week, but I think that was only because I have been hypothyroid. I did have a short bout of feeling sick to my stomach, but that went away after I got a little something to eat. I do feel pressure and some mild cramping. It feels similiar to AF symptoms, but not nearly as intense.

Second Beta In.....
My second beta was 11,80019 days past retrieval. I have been in shock for a few days sorry I lost touch ladies. We are happy to have a number that is increasing but tripling. omgosh!!!!We are hoping for two that implanted early. I have been told I will be unable to carry triplets b/c of my pelvis and am trying to stay positive. My re will do an early ultrasound on Wednesday to count the number of sacs. It is too early to see heartbeats.
Congrats Tisha are you nervous/excited or what? Journey-Love the list please update me. Wow we have grown.
