April- I am sooo sorry let us know what the RE says. I have known others who have had bleeding and everything has been fine. But I know how scary it can be. I will that all is ok.

Thank you Tbonus the nurse said it was a good sign that I am not having any cramping but it was so bright red I am very worried. They haven't called me back yet and I am at work. Can go home and put my feet up as everyone here at work knows but I live the opposite direction of my re so dont want to go home and then they call me to come for an ultrasound or bloodwork.

Hi Stephanie,

Spotting is really scary but I have seen women go on to have successful pregnancies. It is a good sign that you are not cramping. I hope your RE can see you today, at least for piece of mind.
I really hope everything is okay.

You know, I actually didn't have much hope for this IUI but it was my lucky one. We had switched RE's and were in the process of saving the last of the money for IVF in November when our new RE said, give me 3 months of IUI with this special sperm wash. We did and voila, worked on the first try! Looks like my dh has male antisperm antibodies. At least we have an indication now of what our problem is, it was so frustrated being unexplained.
So I know it is super early, but I was at the mall the other day and decided to stop into Pottery Barn for kids, my first time in there ever (mainly because they are pricey). I saw the most gorgeous crib, but it was very expensive. My dh said "this baby has saved us thousands of dollars, only the best for it." So if everything turns out well, we will probably get that crib - very exciting.

Good luck on your 4th beta on Thursday, hopefully you will get an u/s scheduled so you can see your little sprout growing.

Thank you for doing this! Btw my name is Maria. I appreciate your work! I hope everyone else is doing well. Maybe we can even put this list in chronological order so we know whose who is up next

I officially started my Morning Sickness today...almost textbook at 6 weeks. It was not so bad yet other than I can't eat much but my Ritz crackers and grape juice - anything else, well let's just say it's been going back out.

XAAF - I hope you are well and it's really good that you have no cramping. I hope everything turns out ok!

Mashon - Good luck on your Ultrasound tomorrow!!! I think you are first one up. I pray for everything looks good with the healthy baby in there.

Take care guys!

Ohh Mashon! I am exactly like that - I went all over online to check for cribs... I was out yesterday and saw some CK onesies on sale 10 of them for $4... I wanted soooo bad to buy them! But resisted. May I suggest overstock.com they have gorgeous cribs for so much less even better than the one from Pottery Barn. I go there alot at the Barn because of my DD but I swear their prices are really unreal! You will not be being cheap if you try to get it somewhere else... With our first daughter we bought everything, crib, changing table, bassinette, play pen, moses basket? looks like anyway we spent well over $2500 for those.... I remember because that was the first time I almost maxed out my credit card 9 years ago when my limit was only $3,000 lol! But it was so much fun! Anyway, she used her crib 2 times, playpen 1 time, bassinette, she laid on it once and the moses basket once and the changing table... about 4 times. Our baby slept mostly next to us with our King bed and another full bed next to it. 1 year later we sold this whole set for $200 :P lol I'm going to be a bit smarter this time and get a crib that goes 4 ways. I swear my mind is already with the nursery design! I haven't even gotten my Ultrasound yet! Anyway sorry I'm babbling... just wanted to share!

[MaryMary]

do any of you take Crinone? They are switching me to that and I am just curious. Right now I'm on a normal progesterone suppositories, but (TMI alert) they have caused a little bit of a yeast infection, so the nurse said this should help. Sure hope so!

I have heard of this Crinone and my nurse said that maybe after 10 weeks I will switch to this...but I was told that sometimes this causes some spotting/bleeding and since I had a previous incident of spotting she didn't want to put me on it just so they know that its not the medicine. Also as far as the Yeast infection - I'm really scared of that (TMI) with my last pregnancy I had it for about 2 months! I hope I don't get it this pregnancy because it's really annoying. What about Progesterone Shot? lol I don't know if you rather get shots on your bottomg than cream. I'm actually getting use to the shot now... but yesterday oh my hubby gave me the shot that I almost bit him from pain and I thought he was a PRO by now

[AmyK]

Thanks Stephanie for putting the list together.

I am on crinone (3 x a day) I have a thread over on the We're Pregnant section if you want to check it out. The only drawback is some serious discharge (extra gel...think cottage cheese) Mine has been turning a purple-blackish so it is a little disturbing but common I think. I clean it out more often now and it has improved. I guess the longer it builds up in there it changes colors. Ick. No other issues other than that.

[xaaf76x]

Well I am back from the doctor they just drew a beta to check and will recheck on Thursday. The doctor said we would not gain anything by doing an ultrasound (I guess my piece of mind doesnt count lol) he explained that right now all we would see is a sac and that it wouldnt tell us anything because even if I was losing the baby it could still be there so.... i have gone to the bathroom 3 times since and no more blood but really scared me because everyone I have seen with any kind of normal spotting has had older brown or pink spotting and this was alot and very fresh red.They should call in the next hour with my result today I figured it from Wed's# and doubled every 3 days and then also figured it at 60% increase every 2 days and I come up with todays should be 2500-2600 if ok


Mary I have been on crinone since my transfer along with oral prometrium and have had no problems other than the occasional discharge on the pantyliner.

[Mwalls]

You should have insisted for Ultrasound he can atleast see where the blood is coming from. I hope that its from your cervix just irritated from Crinone. My nurse told me about bleeding from that when you get too irritated and the reason why they didn't put me on it yet. I'm praying for high beta for you! I'm glad it had stopped! I know this is really scary - hang in there and we'll be here for you. Take care April.
