TAP - if I didn't tell you before, I LOVE your ticker. Mind if I use one like it too?

Fry - no card from mh DH either. I even dragged my butt out of bed at 5am to make him breakfast. he had lots of nice things to say all night and I know he's not a big plan ahead guy either, but these hormones made me really sad.

Clothes - I'm only 5w+days and I'm already feeling snug in my jeans. Gotta love the early bloating! I actually went to Target and Ross this weekend and bought a couple longer shirts to help get me through this awkward time.

HB - This is based on my expereince last time, but what I was told is that my RE they wanted to bring in at 6w2d because that's the earliest they can reliably see the HB. They warned me last time that sometimes they can't find it that early. As far as my experience, they were able to find it. Unfortunately it was no longer there at 7w2d last time, but that this will be different on the 25th.

Kzwick!

[frymomma2b]

mine is on monday the 18th. Just to look at the gestational sac and make sure he set up shop in my uterus and not my tubes! hehe. I am so excited!!! Welcome to all the mommies. aaaaaa this is so fun i hope i make it to october with all you guys.

The home beta would be sold out all the time. lol I went home during lunch to change bras because i am so swollen and my boobs are already DDD so i dont know where to go from there. Small prices though. Oh and i thought dh would be tired of bd and relieved to have a break but it is like from the day he found out he is a dog in heat. lol sorry tmi. but it is weird cuz i remember him being the same way last time. I dk maybe he has a mental thing going on

My goodness you ladies have been busy posting this morning!!
to the new mommies!!!
V day was nice for us - quiet meal at home with DH, and dd who refused to eat and had a tantrum (!) then after dd went to bed we watched lost and had a yummy dessert!

As for clothes - my pants are feeling snug, but it's more bloating than anything else (and maybe those desserts!) I am SOOOOOO constipated! Anyone else having that issue?? Any relief suggestions??? - I am eating prunes, wheatbran, pears etc etc!! And drinking water like crazy but nothing helps yet! Arrghhh!!

Lorry - my us is on the 18th also, but checking for a heartbeat this time. I will be 7 weeks

Good luck to everyone! I really feel October is a good month - that's when my DD was born!

[fossie]

Mum - I am VERY constipated and haven't really found anything to help. I went on a metamucil binge a couple of days ago and almost had the opposite problem which scared the s**T out of me so now I am just dealing with being stopped up and cramping because of it.

My u/s is on the 20th next week - I should be about 6 weeks, 6 days so I think they will be looking for a heartbeat.

Frymomma - my (.)(.) are pretty sore (definitely can't lay on them or get a hug without pain) but I don't feel like they have grown - my bras all still seem to fit - maybe a bit fuller and definitely veinier but I keep waiting for them to grow! DH says the nips have grown to porn star status :-)!

Holly, please use the ticker ... that's why I posted the link. There are different pictures. It's also easy b/c it gives a address for HTML AND for forum's ..

bls81 and Kelly welcome to october.

I cant keep up with all the postings. But, my dh did get me two dozen roses for valentines. He is traveling a lot for work and we aren't together that much .. so they were somewhat guilt flowers. But, he is generally good about that kind of stuff. I bought him a funny book about his wife being pregnant .. it gave him advice on doing nice things for me. I was almost afraid to buy anything pregnancy related .. but, I'm over it. I'm just going to pretend this is it .. the next eight months will be fine

In fact, we are painting a new house .. and I"m even going so far as to pick out colors for one room that "could" be nursery colors. So, hopefully, I'm not doing anything wrong by being too optimistic.

Boy, I can't wait until the 25th.

Next week will be fun with all teh USs .. too bad Josie wasn't part of this group b/c she would keep track of all us. Maybe we can figure out a way to keep the events coordinated, so we can support each other.

Tara.

I have been very constipated. I have found that lots of water and prune juice are my solution. But the trick is to always take them, if I slack for just one day I pay for it.

I have gained some weight during this whole IVF thing, and some I know is from fluid retention. My belly is really bloated, but I haven't really gained anywhere else much. My rings are really tight...

My bb's sore too. It gets worse and then better. I don't really notice that they are much bigger but DP thinks they are.

Claudia thank you. Maybe it would work that when ever anyone has a change to the list .. they simply make it and then reattach it to their post. That way the current one will always be close to the end????

[fossie]

Thanks Claudia - sounds like a plan TAP!

Ok so i am going to east Texas ( I live in the Houston area) and i will be in the country at a lake house so not internet .Just kidding it will be great to keep my mind off the u/s as much as possible and keep me away from the drug store. LOL. So i will not be able to sign on till after the u/s. I just can quit think OMG i am . Anyway, I told my former boss on the other side of the building (she is really more of a friend) so she is praying for all of us.

Mum-Yay we are u/s buddies !!! i am also constipated but i did not know that was a sign????

fossie- i am waiting on the nip thing lol. i have really small ones so i am praying they change especialy for breast feeding perposes.

Tap- There is nothing wrong with being optamistic. I am already picking out stuff in my head as well. It is good to be positive but in all honesty i truely think this is it for us (meaning the forum girls).

flaming- i just talked to my friend who was saying "why arent you wearing your wedding ring?" and i was like i dont know they just felt constricting this morning so she was telling me about someone in another part of the office that had to have theirs cut off when they were prego because they let them get tight and it was to late. Needless to say i wont be wearing them for a while.

Oh i almost forgot....Is anyone using a midwife in or outside of a hospital. I think after the first trimester i am going back to my midwife and doing an at home water birth. Also anyone thinking of cloth diapering. I know it is early but dont tell me you havent thought about it lol! Love you girls take care over the weekend and i will see ( i mean talk) to yall on monday

[frymomma2b]

wow i am not that organized you did great! i will try to remember to do my part hehehe

[chie]

Hi there, sorry I have not been able to keep up with the posts. I love this thread, so busy.

My (.) (.) they are a bit sore but cant complain as they also look and feel fuller. DH enjoys the new look. But no actual play time.
My belly also is also getting bigger too, as the baby is only a few mm in size it must be fluid, lots of gas ( progesterone and metformin) and extra food... I have been a bit hungy these days
