christy that is SOOOO exciting!! i am just now catching up on posts ... up at my mom's house in the mountains for the weekend. are you just freaking out? i have to say your numbers were so high i am not at all surprised. congrats!

caribbeanqueen, we have our u/s's on the same day! are you as nervous as i am? i guess you've had a 3rd beta so you probably feel more confident. my last beta was over a week ago so i'm going through the whole, 'am i REALLY pregnant??' emotions.

sarah, congrats on your 2nd beta! that is wonderful.

how are you guys doing with cramping? i know it's normal and i've gotten over being worried about it - but curious whether you guys get the light, intermittant cramping throughout the day ...

Hannah- no noticable cramps aside from gas pains occasionally. But you gotta remember that I'm not normal. I did not bleed or cramp after ER and ET either.

I am so tired. I have no energy whatsoever. I think these babies are taking all of it!!! I went grocery shopping this afternoon. I was gone for 1.5 hours. I had to come home and take an hour nap to recoup!!! It's ridiculous. I don't have time for this. I am usually full of energy. I have housecleaning to do and dinner to cook. UGH!!!

Grits- I'm so glad to see you over here. I have been cheering for you since your first cycle. I just know this time will work out just fine. Can't wait to see your beta.

Christy

Yay Grits, so happy for your +hpt!!

hannah- i am rarely getting the light cramping anymore, but i have a new "stretching" symptom. if i twist or stand up straight from sitting, a few times i've felt this really intense/strong stretch across my (i think) uterus. really weird.

Jen, I really do not know what causes them, but I had then last time, and the nurse told me they were normal. Something to do with ligaments..........

Grits, you'll be officially heare today!!! yeah!!!! can't wait for the beta.

Hannah-not so much cramping as other weird sensations here and there-like a fluttery feeling in my belly-----only occasional and comes and goes.'

Other than that, my boobs come and go but they are mostly itchy-the kind of feeling like you never relieve the itch when you scratch it. And then, the metal taste thing that comes every evening and messes with my tastebuds.

nothing to complain about, was actually feeling pretty good so I get worried. DH bought me a FRE yesterday so I could see the nice 2 dark lines again----I guess I'll have to wait until the US to feel a bit more ease.

grits, i am soooo excited for you! welcome to june due dates!

jen, i have had the same thing!! when i move quickly from sitting to standing, or laying to sitting ... i get this almost charlie-horse kind of cramp. it's really quick and goes away quickly.

christy, i too get tired doing the most mundane things. i finish folding laundry and have to take a rest. lol. it's funny for me because i'm normally a really active and energetic person!

lisa, i'm having the same thing with my bbs ... it comes and goes. i guess that must be normal!
