Rachael, that is so cool! Twins! I half expected that much from your astronomical beta #s! Congrats. When is the next u/s?

Lisa, thanks for reassuring me on the beta #s. I'm on Crinone gel and oral supplements at the moment. I've been on the crinone enough times in the past year and i've never got that 'gushing' feeling before.

Caribqueen, your comments on you DD made me feel all warm and fuzzy about my own pregnancy. thanks for sharing.

Yes, I think there will be more twins to report after the u/s next week!

[rachaelg]

Next ultrasound is Friday.RE does ultrasounds weekly until week 12 when they release you to your OBGYN.

I also think that there will be alot of twins in here come next week!

Congrats everyone We made it!

[lwiluan]

Wow, that is the longest i've read on the forum that an RE keeps a patient.

Anyone having dizzy spells and extreme fatigue? I find myself nodding off during the day off and on. I do take naps, but i don't want to sleep too much during the day otherwise, i might as well not get up in the morning.

[GRITS]

Laurie, I do nod off throughout the day! It is driving me nuts. I am tired of being tired, but I guess I should get used to it!

[hannah01]

rachael, congrats on your twins!! i am not at all surprised.

i too have been really tired and dizzy - i tell everyone that i've never been so HAPPY to feel bad though. i just remind myself how hard i worked to get here -so i am going to appreciate every second of this pregnancy! i am smiling through the nausea. (ok ask me if this is still true in 2 months.)

you guys were chatting on the sept et thread about the u/s feeling like the 2/ww- i toooootallly agree. it's hard. but we are lucky to be where we're at ... i think about the alternatives and how a lot of girls' ivfs didn't work. i know some of you have been through more than one so you know how it feels. i feel incredibly lucky that it worked for me on my first time. i swear, week 30 can't come soon enough. i think then i'll relax.

[brettsbabe]

i know what everyone is talking about, i still can't fully believe that it's twins until i see both their heartbeats, but i just think how lucky we all are to be here, and to have fellow preggos to obsess over things with

is anyone else waay past ET and ER and feeling rather bloated? even my fat jeans are starting to get tight, though i haven't gained any weight according to the scale...my friend did have twins and said she was out of regular clothes and in maternity clothes by week 8 or 9. at least they are making more trendy maternity clothes for us trendy preggos!

[hannah01]

sarah my jeans are feeling tighter already ... i'm assuming that's just bloating because it's got to be too early for it to be anything else right?? i was wondering that about showing earlier with multiples - have you heard that's always the case?

[lwiluan]

Hannah, it's a bit early, but it's 10/14 here, so I wanted to wish you a great u/s tomorrow.

[hopefulmom2be]

I am totally with you girls on the clothing issues. I haven't been able to fit into my jeans either. I am assuming it's the PIO for now. I don't think even with multiples I should be this big!!! I am absolutely huge!!! I actually wore athletic pants to work two days last week. I give up, I can't squeeze into my clothes cuz I'm afraid I'll hurt the babies!!!

[hannah01]

laurie thanks!! i wish it was 10/16 and it was just over with. so nervous.

[lwiluan]

I've been trying out different kinds of jeans. some have a full band and some have just a litle band.

i love paige maternity jeans. they are so comfy. I like the citizen ones, too, but the paige ones seem to fit a little better. esp on my big fat behind!

I didn't buy any because they are just so marked up here. I've got a friend that owns a boutique here and she's offered to do some shopping for me in LA on her next buying trip.

Can't wait to get out of athletic pants!

As for symptoms, I just don't seem to be all that interested in food. I eat because i know that i need to, but after 3 bites, it's a real chore. it's not because I feel sick, I'm just not interested. it's weird to describe.

[hannah01]

laurie that is exactly what happened to me ... i developed an aversion to eating. everything seems to kind of gross me out. things i normally love - like salads - i am like ehhh, no thank you. i am forcing myself to eat because i know i need to, but it's joyless. oh, fresh fruit seems to taste good ... i make a fruit bowl in the morning. does that sound good to you?

[CaribbeanQueen]

I've just had my first waves of nausea... All day yesterday and so far today... Ick! I feel like I'm seasick or something! I don't think I felt like this last go-around...

I have to echo everyone on the pants thing. I am normally a size 8, and I wear 10s if I feel like crap or if I have PMS. Well, now, my 10s are tight! I get that mark from the waistband if I wear any of my 10s... I am in "loungewear" today, but I'll have to squeeze into something later. We're going out for a family dinner with my folks tonight!

Hannah--can't wait to hear your report tomorrow! My app't is at 10, but I won't be home until early afternoon.

[lwiluan]

Hannah, that is EXACTLY how I feel about food. it's so blah.

Please post a pic of your u/s when you get it! Can't wait for your post of what happened and how you felt. I still can't believe you have been waiting this long!!!

[rachaelg]

Good Luck Hannah!!! Hope you get exactly what you want at your ultrasound.. Your in my prayers this morning.

I have found that my clothes won't fit either. I haven't gained a pound and I can't fit in some of my pants. I think that our hips are getting big.. and for some of us we can't stand the extra inches. I hope that the Belly Band that I ordered online will help.. Have y'all used a belly band before???

Talk Soon
Rachael
