I feel so out of the loop my computer at home is not working and I can't fix it until this weekend so I can only post at work.

Mattsmom-Congratulations!!! on your u/s it sounds like it went great.

Charms- you are too funny! I can't complain to much about running to the bathroom I did that alot already so I don't see it as a symptom just a continuation. I hope you continue to feel good. I am having some of the same sleeping problems.

Nurse- I hope you feel better soon. Im still just gaggy and nautious hope it stays that way for a while.

Elisa- Good Luck today can't wait to hear your bean count

Ladies,

My RE had instructed us "no intercourse until we see the heartbeat", well heartbeat was seen today but I failed to confirm at today's appointment that it is okay now. What were your RE's instructions?

[BabySteps]

Eslisa. congratulations on a healthy heartbeat!!! That is great news!!

Sad news. You can take me off the list. I went to my RE yesterday morning for bloodwork and an ultrasound because I was bleeding more than just a little spotting. They couldn't see anything at all on the ultrasound and when my bloodwork came back they told me that my beta levels had risen a little but not enough. I have to go back again tomorrow morning for more bloodwork. They want to monitor my hCG levels as they go back down (which is just such a thrilling thought for me..). I'm clinging to the tiny hope that they might be wrong, but I'm not expecting any miracles.

Persephone-I am so sorry to hear about the bleeding and your betas. We are here for you. Could it have been too early for the u/s? I will be praying for you.

[charms]

Persephone - i am so sorry this is happening. i know how hard this is going to be, take the time you need to recover.

elisa - my RE said no sex until the 2nd trimester.

i still got the dry mouth and it is very irratating!!!!

but i can't complain too much - i feel fine, infact if i thought too much about feeling good, i would believe that i am not pregnant, but alas, i can feel the streatching in my tum tum - and boy are the panties getting tight

[BabySteps]

Persephone, I am so sorry that you are going through this. Just know that we are here for you

Christine, I feel the same way you do!! I started to get really thirsty last week, panties and pants are feeling tight, I am really tired but sometimes I can't sleep!! Yes I do beleive we will be in the same state for u/s, CA. I am getting nervous!

Elisa, my RE said no sex until the 2nd trimester as well...

[MattsMom]

Persephone - I am so sorry you are going through this. I wish you and your DH the best. Take the time to grieve your loss - and know we are always here for you!

________

My RE told yesterday we were now able to have sex. I don't think we are going to risk anything and will likely wait until we are well into our 2nd trimester.

BTW - I am feeling thirsty all the time! I miss my diet soda....

[charms]

Shelley, do what clinic do you go to? What part of CA are you in? I am full of questions tonight......are you ready for triplets??? I am so excited for you.

tonight is strange, my tummy is tugging and my back hurts more than normal.

i am getting very anxious for another day and a half - i think i will go crazy.

[BabySteps]

I am getting sooo nervous and excited. Despite being tired I have been watching the Discovery Health channel. I just watched 2 shows about 2 different couples who had quints! Wow!!! Christine both you and my DH think I am having triplets along with some others here!! I am going to be so happy if there is one healthy baby in there!! I will take whatever I am blessed with.

Christine, the clinic I go to is The Centre for Reproductive Health and Gynecology. They have an office in Beverly Hills and Valencia (Santa Clarita). My u/s will be in Valencia. What clinic do you go to?

I am really excited for you. I can't wait to hear how your u/s goes and then you had said before, the day after your DH comes home from out of town!!! Wow what a great way to end the week!!! I am also going crazy. DH said that he is worried if I need bedrest during my pregnancy because I can not sit still for very long, it would kill me. I am tired but I am running on nervous energy. It is late and for once DH has beat me to bed...I better get going!

[charms]

Shelley, I go to two clinics.....I go to the USNavy - NTC Infertility clinic - this is where my RE is, they do all b/w, u/s and med dispensing. for the actual procedure I go to RPMG in La Jolla. my u/s will the at the NTC (extension of Balboa Medical Center in San Diego).

Oh no.....I fly to SD on Thusday for the u/s and to p/u and other meds and then come home, only to go back to the airport on Friday to go to San Antonio to see DH for the 3 day weekend. He isnt coming home until Feb 15th - I dont even get valentines day with him.....he gets to spend it my mom, she is the half way point from SA to PHX - so he'll spend the night there on his drive back.

Bed rest is actually a breeze, when you know you have to! I had DH bring in a rolley cart with my laptop, so i didnt have to leave bed to do some work. my job let me work from home during my bedrest before the twins came. you'd be amazed.

[BabySteps]

Wow Christine you are going to be a very busy girl!! A very happy kind of busy I must add....You should ask for 2 u/s pictures incase you wear one out before you see DH!

I know I am getting ahead of myself but if I do go on bed rest I will have it easy, if I can stay stay in bed ....king bed, tempur-pedic mattress, lots of pillows, big tv, and ofcourse my laptop which is an extension of my hip!!! (heck it sounds comfy, I should be there now!!)

I hope I don't go too crazy today

[nursectu]

Yeah! 1st u/s is over. I was so nervous I didn't sleep at all last night. We we saw one sac and a yolk sac. I am 5wks and 2 days according to my ovulation date so they said that it is too early for a heartbeat. They just wanted placement and seeing a yolk sac was just a bonus. I go back in 2 weeks for my 2nd u/s to check for a heartbeat.

Charms and Babysteps- good luck tomorrow. I can't wait for a baby count!

[BabySteps]

Shannon, great to hear your u/s went well. Now you can rest for the next 2 weeks and hearing the heart beat will be so amazing!

I know what you mean about not sleeping. I went to bed late and was up early and today is a bit of a write off because the only thing on my mind is the u/s. I am going crazy and I can not believe it is only 1pm!!!

[charms]

I am soo excited.

We are having twins!

Two beautiful peanuts with wonderful flickering heartbeats.

my next u/s is on the 31st, i can hardly wait!!!!!
