Hey Ladies...how are you feeling?? Has it sunken in yet??

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Good luck tomorrow on your u/s lacy and Alison.

I had one today and there was no fetal pole or hb but the yolk sac was in the right place. I have another appt. next week the 14th and hopefully we see more. I am measuring a day ahead.

That's good news!!!

I had my dates wrong and my u/s was today. We saw two sacs so TWINS!! Still can't believe it. One is about half the size of the other but my RE said that's not really unusual.

I'm also going back on the 14th. I'm for both of us!

How are you feeling?

[silversection2]

Hi girls! Can I join you? I see a couple of you from our April IVF thread! Can you believe we are actually here?!

For those that I haven't "met" , I am 5 wks today, anxiously awaiting our first u/s on 5/20. I'm so glad to have you all to share this with!

[sunshinegirl]

I think my due date, according to a few websites, will be 1/13/10. I would love to share all the joys and complaints with you ladies! I'm praying this pregnancy goes as easily and smoothly as my first one did! Good Luck to you all!

Hi Ladies, I would love to join you!

I had b2b iui's on 4/15 & 4/16. So my clinic has informed me that tomorrow I will be 5 weeks! Im still in shock! What was everyones betas? I found out I was pregnant on 13dpiui, and I went in for the first beta on 14dpiui (160). We went back on 18dpiui (1014!) So my numbers more than doubled over and over! I do not go back in for my first u/s until May 18th. Ohhhhh, Im so excited and wish I could go in already. lol!

Im not sure when my due date is. The RE has not told me yet, and depending on the pregnancy ticker site it varies from Jan 5th-Jan 7th.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you all!!

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

WOOOWW we are really growing, this is awesome.

to the new girls. May the next 8 months bring us all nothing but joy and happiness.

I am hoping this pregnancy is the complete opposite of the one with Tristan. I was so sick and had some many complications I was on bed rest from 15 weeks until I delivered at 37 weeks. I am prepared for the worse and we wanted this so badly I take what comes lol.

At my appt. yesterday since I was measuring a day ahead that put me at 12/31/10 as my due date but it wasn't a big enough difference to change my ticker lol. I'm a December baby so I wouldn't mind sharing my day with my baby.

So as we get more info I will start to put together a list of due dates and how many beans and eventually genders (dh and I will not be finding out).

So far I have a few symptoms sore boobs and fatigue. I've always been a napper but now my naps are lasting a lil longer.

Anyone else have symptoms?

[Hopeful4Change]

Symptoms- hmmmm..
I am exhausted ALL of the time but can not sleep. ack! I hav always been a bad sleeper, the smallest noise or movement wakes me. Im hoping at some point my body will just shut off during this pregnancy and I will sleep a full night for once. A gal can dream, right?

Other than that, I have been having cramps, lower back discomfort, and intermittent queesiness (is that a word, technically?)

I was having super intense cramping to where it doubled me over and put tears in my eyes, but that has subsided.

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

I had trouble sleeping with Tristan, he was soooo active. I was allowed to take a lil benadryl which also helped with the queeziness (I think it's a word lol). Also peppermint tea helped me alot during my morning sickness.

[silversection2]

No symptoms for me. Maybe just a bit more tired but really nothing to speak of. Which kinda has me worried... Not that I want morning sickness or any of the other not-so-fun stuff! But maybe I would have an easier time believing it then!

[LacyD]

everyone! Nice to see you here, Melissa and Silversection. We made it!

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Good Morning Ladies...
So I thought we could get to know each other better while we all wait for u/s and the real fun to begin.
I thought I would ask a few questions so we can see how much we have in common and/or learn about our buddies...feel free not to answer if you think it's too personal.

1 Where do you live (just state is fine but you can give city too if you want)?
2 What do you do for a living...SAHM & SAHW counts too :-)??
3 How long have you been married or partnered?
4 How long have you been trying for this miracle(s)??

Feel free to throw out any other stuff you want to share.

[Hopeful4Change]

Anyone else going crazy?! Today I am exactly 5 weeks. DH and I are going to some baby stores, furniture stores to start getting ideas. lol. Can you tell we are excited. DH believes that I have two little beans in there. We'll see. I cant believe we have to wait another 11 days! Ack! Plus, no more betas so nothing to check that numbers are doubling as they should, or that everything is going well. This is driving me crazy! Im trying to remain calm and think only positive.. but it isnt easy when you are having nightmares most nights and can not sleep comfortably (never been a good sleeper though).

1 Where do you live? Around Sacramento, Ca

2 What do you do for a living? I am a Speech-Language Pathologist.

3 How long have you been married or partnered? This is a second marriage for me. DH and I celebrated 1 year in March. However, we have been together for over 3 years now.

4 How long have you been trying for this miracle(s)??
I started the journey in 1998 with previous husband. So, off and on for the last 11 years.

5. What do you do for fun? I enjoy going to the movies, bowling (cant anymore but definately worth it!), reading, researching stuff online, and spending time with family and friends. I pretty much find fun in everything I do.

Feel free to throw out any other stuff you want to share.

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hopeful...are you sleeping on your back or at least when you wake from your nightmares on you on your back? I find I get nightmares ifI sleep on my back. We did the online shopping a few months ago we even started painting one of spare rooms with the base color lol. We are moving so we won't be using the room now. My ILs bought us a crib as a surprise while we were in the hospital having Tristan so we are just going to get the rest of the pieces to match lol.

I forgot to answer my own questions...

1 Where do you live? Right now New York but we are buying a house in PA.

2 What do you do for a living? Currently I am accounting manager, human resource admin, and payroll/benefits manager (all in 20 hours a week lol)

3 How long have you been married or partnered? DH and I have been married since July 07 (the month after T was born).
4 How long have you been trying for this miracle(s)??
Since December 07.

5. What do you do for fun? Not much lately lol. I like to read, walk (we live near the beach), watch forensic shows lol, hang with family and friends, & shopping.

[silversection2]

Hey girls!

Hopeful4Change, YES to going crazy! I am 5 wks 1 day today and don't get my first u/s until 5/20, at 7 wks! No more betas, nothing in between. Just time to fill w/ things other than worry! OH my DH also thinks we will have twins, but he is the super-optimist. What were your betas? Mine are in my sig, but from what I've read they fall in the normal range for both singles and twins. I will be thrilled either way! Oh and DH and I also went to Babies R Us last weekend! We didn't buy anything yet though... just a "what to expect" type book.

Other info

1 Where do you live? KY
2 What do you do for a living? I'm a graphic designer.
3 How long have you been married or partnered? Married in Sept 07, been w/ DH since Oct 04
4 How long have you been trying for this miracle(s)? Well, this is our first IVF. But we also had DH's Vas Reversal in 06 hoping that would work. We've known since the beginning of our relationsip we would have TTC issues, but have just now pounced on the issue full force w/ IVF. (I'm so thankful to God for a BFP on the first try. I don't know if I'd be strong enough for repeat neg cycles!)

Hope you are all having a great day!
