I have seen the belly bands...........I have not used one, But I guess I will be. In about a week I will not be in my 'fat' jeans anymore. The only reason I lasted this long is because of doing FET instead of ER/ET. The hormones for ER were brutal. I had put on 10lbs by this point last time. This time I have not put n but 1 lb. But then I have a aversion to eating right now too............I feel quesy frequently...........I have never had m/s with any of my prior pregnancies. Yuk! On the up side, maybe I will not gain as much.......

Glad to hear no one else can fit in their pants either! And like everyone else, I don't seem to have gained a pound, just a belly. I keep telling my mom I feel fat, not pregnant.
Ok Hannah-dying to hear about your U/S.  I think you and I have have had to wait the longest. My first U/S is still 2 weeks away! I'll be right at 7 weeks.

june congrats on your 2nd beta!!!
caribbean queen, how was your u/s today?? i posted on the ivf and iui forums too (i'm a posting lunatic today) ... but i saw and heard my baby today! it was pretty wild - amazing. the hb was 133 and it measures 6 week 4 days. so everything is right as it should be. what an amazing, but scary experience that was! i have to tell you guys i started having some spotting on saturday, it went away sunday, but came back again today - and i was absolutely TERRIFIED going in to my u/s. i was convinced something was wrong. my RE said spotting is normal, cervix can get irritated from intercourse and bleed, or could be because i've been constipated and straining. (eww, sorry). anyway i decided to play it safe and stay home today with my feet up on a pillow. anyway thank GOD my little one looked okay and had such a strong heartbeat today! oh, my best friend is 5 months pregnant and swears by the belly band - i'm going to get one too.

Well to be honest with you I keep thinking I have symptoms ... but really I do not think I do yet. I do feel very tired in the afternoon. So maybe ... ??? hehe
June that is PERFECT! I am so excited about going for my 1st ultrasound ... but i am SO nervous my DH is gonna be really upset if we does not see a heartbeat. I am pretty sure it will be too early for that and I explained that to him ... but I just fear he is hoping for that too much. He says it just does not seem real and he does like to talk to much about it as to not get his hopes up JUST IN CASE. uuggggg So I have no one to share my excitment with about baby stuff! Lacy

CQ- how wonderful about your little bean, sorry that the other one was empty.
Lacey I know what you mean about you husband. My husband is very gaurded this time he said he is not going to the u/s appointment with me on the 22nd because we will not see the heartbeat. He is going to go the next time. I think he is afraid to get too attached this time. To be honest I am a little scaried too. I know I should relax but that is easier said then done. martie

June- I'm so happy to hear your updated beta
Hannah- so happy for you too, could you actually see the hb on the screen?? i'm a little suprised there is one, i thought for sure two... and so sorry about the spotting, i know how stressing that is, but at least you had the relief of the u/s today to find out your baby is thriving in you! CQ- congrats on your u/s. is there any way your other sac could still develop?? or did the m.d. say for sure it's a singleton?
