May Due Date Buddies
I just learned our due date if it is a single baby will be May 5th. Who else is due in May? How are you feeling? I have had limited symptoms so far. Thankfully! My twin sister who is 6 months pregnant now (IUI) was sick as a dog during her first trimester. So far so good for me!

Hi Heather- I got a
yesterday afternoon and think I am still walking on a cloud. My re does not do betas over the weekend so I have to wait until Tuesday. I got a very positive test after lunch yesterday. I was not given an hcg shot and tested again this morning . I have been stockpiling hpt for three years so what the heck. I am guarded but very excited. I am glad you started this thread it will nice to connect with others who are due in May. I think I would be due May 9th. As far as symptoms I have to use the bathroom very early every morning like at 430, afternoon nausea, and swollen boobs, cramps started 2 days after transfer. I will let you know what the beta is. I have been pregnant before and each one is soooo different. Congrats on your nice beta

Wow! Congratulations BallerinaGirl. I am sure you are thrilled. This is the first pregnancy for my husband and I. It's all new to us. My twin sister who lives in the same town is 6 months pregnant from IUI. She's treated by the same RE Clinic as me. She had a lot of symptoms right away. I have been shocked at the few symptoms I have had because they are not typical that is for sure. We'll go in tomorrow for our 2nd BETA #. Our RE clinic is open 7 days a week. I'd love to hear what your next BETA is.
Heather

Hi girls, I'd love to join you. I just did one of those due date calculator things and it looks like my due date is May 6th.
I go in for my 3rd beta on Monday. I'm beyond excited but I really can't wait for the ultrasound. I think it won't feel real to me until I see the little heartbeat!

Congrats Ohbabybaby! Wow! You are already doing your 3rd beta tomorrow. I did my first BETA on 08/29 and will go back in tomorrow for BETA #2. Our first beta was high. Not sure what to make of that yet.

I'll say a prayer for you Tish. I know it must be hard as many times as you have gone through this.
For some reason my RE doesn't do any US until you have reached 6 weeks and they only do 2 BETAS unless the 2nd doesn't increase by at least 66%. Beta #1 1003 (12dp5det) Beta #2 2099 (14dp5det) We'll find out on 09/18 how many are in the oven.

We found out our 2nd BETA today was 2099. It more than doubled since our first BETA (1033). We are going to have our first U/S on 09/18. We'll know how many buns are in the oven then.

First Beta number in....
My first beta is 3879I am 17 days past the retrieval. I did have some spotting Sunday night and freaked out but it stopped shortly after it started. The nurse said you are very pregnant
and than her voice went in slow motion when she said are you taking prenatal vitamins and its probably mulitples! I thought I wasn't as nauseous today but now I feel totally sick to my stomach. The next beta is this Thursday. I am very excited and scared as well. I am so thankful right now this has been a long journey.  Tisha I remember you from the 2ww August thread.Great News on the second beta..

Ballerinagirl - that's a great Beta #. I'm sure you are scared - I know I'm getting a bit nervous over the fact that I tested so early and got my
(no HCG shot was given) and that there is a big possibility that it might be with multiples. I'm excited but nervous too.Do you want multiples?

Congratulations Ballerina and Journey. I know you both must be thrilled.
Like ya'll, I am a bit nervous about my BETA #s too. My BETA was 1003 at 12 days post 5d transfer and 2099 at 14 days post transfer. That'd put me at (approx) 4000 at 16 days and 8000 at 18 days. I won't have enough BETA test done. We'll just do the U/S on 09/18. My RE's Nurse just "we will find out how many on the 18th". I am a twin and would love to have twins. Triplets make me nervous, but I will accept whatever God gives me. Heather

Ballerina- I just realized your BETA #s were done 17 post ER. Wow! Yours are 3x higher than mine and mine are high!! Based on the betabase.info website you are certainly in the triplet + category, huh? Are you nervous???
