I want to have another one so bad.

Don't worry unless is red and a lot of it. I know it's easier said than done.

thxs yamilet, according to my re's office numbers are fine, i don't think they would say anything wasn't fine, up to this point everything from them has been positive and i'm not sure they even know how to give bad news (but i'm sure they do it all the time)

how do i feel? I feel pregnant or according to my mom, like i have the flu, the sweetness of my husband is mirroring my symptoms, i feel gassy, bloated, and constipated all at the same time, how that is even possible is beyond me

Yeah Hallie! That is wonderful news! Symptoms are good- I think we have all decided that! Yeah-you get to have an ultrasoundina week- hoe exciting. My 3rd BETA is tomorrow- once I get passed that then I am going to ask for an U/s next week too!

As far as Jamaica- as time goes by I am getting more excited- my first thoughts are oh boy, what if something goes wrong, but what could happen here could happen there. I am hoping that my DH and I can just go and relax and enjoy being with eachother... I bet I will sleep great too!

It is great to here that we are all truckin along... I will feel so relieved when we get my BETA back- hopefully it wil have doubled. <worried>

Bocarn-a relaxing trip will be awesome for you guys and after all that you have been through, you deserve it. I passed on a hetic orlando based weekend with my niece and nephew. Not up for that right now and don't want to over do things, since I can't be that far from food and the bathroom right now.

I'm hoping that when we are in our second trimester to go on a relaxing trip, maybe a cruise, i live in florida so they are really inexpensive.

So, the big question is what can they see on an u/s at 6 weeks? anybody know?

so, of course i had to do some research about the 6 week u/s. some say that you can see the heartbeat and/or hear it some say not yet. Others say that it depends on your beta levels which need to be over 6,000

Overall, it is not the end of the world if you do not see/hear a heartbeat in week 6, your doc will tell you if you should be worried but that is not a reason to be worried.

Yeah!!! Good Betas!

Yeah , I'm so glad to hear about the great betas!

I've noticed most of you have u/s at 6 weeks. My re is only giving me the first two betas, then u/s at 7 weeks! Argh!! Can I wait that long???

Yamilet, I'm with you. I'm kind of hoping for twins, but obviously feel so blessed to be ! My re told me that you really can't read anything into the numbers. Many people with twins have lower numbers and people with singles have higher numbers. I can still hope !

Bocarn, Jamaica sounds awesome!!!

I'm holding off talking to my boss until after the u/s. We are in the middle of a big project at work and I know everyone would flip out. One of my co-workers asks me if I'm pregnant everytime I yawn. It will be hard to keep it from her since she is looking for it so hard. My bloated belly is a give away right now!

Off to dinner. Have a great evening everyone!

Anna

Well I did get a little worried today, so I called my doctors office and I had them schedule another beta test. I did that after work, and so now, once again, I have to wait for my results. I pray to God that my 975 number doubles!!!

HallieL - So now there are 3 of us with ultrasounds scheduled next Friday, what an exciting day that will be.

Bocarn - am so Jealous that you get to go on a vacation to Jamaica. That would be so wonderful.

Yamilet - That would be so exciting to have twins, my dad is actually a twin so I am as well hoping, but I will be happy with one. My husband has always wanted to have a big family (he has 4 brothers and 1 sister in his family) so he is hoping for multiples as well.

Well, my mother-in-law just called and I guess we are going to tell his family on April 11 since they will be coming over for an early Easter celebration, and then I think that will be everyone in our families.

I will let you guys know what my 3rd beta results are as soon as I know. Have a great night everyone.

Hi everyone! Just checking in!

I am dying to know what my next beta # is. I am going to bed soon so tomorrow morning comes more quickly!

My doc is conservative too, 2 betas and then 7 wk ultrasound. Do they send you off to your regular obgyn after that?

I think most of you are a few days ahead of me, but do any of you still feel twinges in your lower abdomen? I feel it on my right side, not painful cramping, just noticable twinges. I wonder if that's the side the embryo is burrowing into? I read somewhere that cramping could mean ectopic pregnancy, is that true??? I am still so nervous. I think I'll be better after tomorrow and the 7wk ultrasound.

Have a good night! I'll update my #2 beta tomorrow.

Second teacher, I heard that cramping is your uterus stretching. Try not to worry about it too much, it has been driving me crazy!

Hey Guys-

Have a questions for you- when we are considering our due dates we really should be considering a LMP? right? Thats how the OBGYN will figure it. I just did that and it looks like I will be due 12/1 and we are 5 1/2 weeks preggo. I like that number better! What do you think?
