Looks like i'm going to joining you ladies as well!!!

CONGRATS TO ALL

I have one concern...I called my gyn's office this morning, and spoke with his receptionist. I told her that I took some HPT's yesterday and tested . I also let her know that I've been experiencing some major cramping.

Okay, I know this is a dumb question, and maybe I'm just being paranoid, but she told me his next available appt is next week. Is that normal? Should she give me something earlier. I'm not trying to boost my own importance or anything, but I just thought that with the cramping and all that would be kind of an emergency, but then again maybe it's just my own paranoia and the fact that this is my first time :~

yall!

Hi and Congrats.

I am a cramper. If there is no spotting, there is no emergency in their minds. I woke up this am matter of fact with monster cramps for around 3minutes this morning around 3am. Then nothing more. I have crampies all day long, minor, but annoying. How many weeks are you? I am still under RE's care.... 4th beta actually this wednesday due to my worry wart mentality.

I Dr. googled it, cramps are common believe it or not. If they are bad, I mean really really doubled over going to throw up bad, that is not normal. Spotting along with it-go to ER immediately.

Let us know how your appointment goes.

Citigal, and cramping is normal. If you feel as though you should be seen earlier you can try to call back and request it. Who knows you may get someone different to answer the phone and he/she may give you something earlier.

Maggie01, Good luck with the U/S on Friday. I can't wait to hear how it went,

B1zzle, That is a great Beta. Congrats!

I am sorry if I missed anyone. I am at work and only
have a few minutes here and there.

AFM, My 2nd beta came in at 167 and I have an U/S scheduled for 06/17. Re said they like to see women with Endo and/or RPL at 5 1/2 weeks but not to expect a Heartbeat yet. Dh cannot go to this one because of work but told me he really wants to make it to the next one.

Thanks guys. My ob/gyn called me and said that cramps in early pregnancy are common. He said it's because the uterus begins to stretch and grow after implantation, and the flow of blood to the uterus. He said not to worry unless the cramping is accompanied by bleeding/spotting. He also said I could take tylenol. I 've been taking one before I sleep, and I have been fine. He said from the date of my last period, I am 6 weeks. I guess I was just nervous because this is my first to All!!!

Hi everyone! Nice to join you here. HI WANESSA!!

Just got my BFP this past Sunday, and I'm thrilled! I've estimated my due date at Feb. 10, although I don't know if it's a singleton or twins yet. If it's twins, I suppose I might deliver sooner, but I'm still going to "think full term," even if it's twins.

I don't have a date for my first u/s yet. I might get one later today when the nurse calls to give me today's beta number.

Looking forward to spending the next 8 months with all of you!

Meg - Thank you! My beta today was 1742!!! I also had my first u/s @ 4w6d. One tiny lil black spot. The cutest lil black spot I've EVER seen! lol

DRB - Yayyy!!! 8000+ is great. I'm so happy for you!

Renni - They changed my due date today. They were counting from my LMP (5/7), but today the nurse counted back 2 wks from ER, and it fell on 5/8. So my EDD is now 2/12/10. One whole day later. lol
