Hey everyone! I only have a quick second but I HAD to get online to check in with you ladies


Mum - Congrats! That's a great appt.


trinity - you get to join the Feb 25th party! Only 1 more week to go!!!!


Being away is helping keep my mind off things. I helping out at a very cool camp so the time is flying by. We have a chef so I'm eating wonderful food 3 times a day and there is always water, decaf tea and snacks available so I'm in heaven. I do realize I don't have the same stamina right now. After taking someone on a walk through for 4 hours yesterday, I was DONE. Hung back the rest of the day and was ready for bed by 8 (even though I didn't make it back to the hotel until 10).


Oh yeah, and even though I usually am not a big chocolate fan, I have not been able to resist the chocolate cake this guy makes. I told my friend "see, this is how you know I'm pregant, I'm eating this cake!"


Take care everyone! I hope you all are doing well

Caroline CONGRATULATIONS.

So, I'm a bit concerned about finding a good OB in Erie. I have an appt. tomorrow simply to check a place out ... (Yes, before my US .. I just did it on my own).

Maybe I'll have to consider coming to Buffalo .. which is where I drive to go to the airport all the time anyway .. Do you have someone good in Buffalo.

Tara.

Tabitha- It was so great to see my little bean today!! We could see the flicker of the heartbeat so I am so much more relaxed now. We are only one day apart in the due date area. I figured 10/9 too, but my RE said 10/10. It doesn't matter as long as I make it to October I will be happy!!!

Well the news for me is unclear. I just got off the phone for the third time trying to figure out if there is any news. i went for the u/s and the P.A. did it and said she did not see anything in my uterus and sent me for another u/s to see if it was ectopic and here i am still not know if i am pregnant in my uterus, tubes, or if it is a cyst. Sorry i cant describe the situation better i am just mentally exausted. see i cant even spell. for more details just look at my other post. "need prayer 8 positive hpt's and negative b/w". I would really appreciate everyones prayers. Thank you

I wouldn't think a cyst would cause a beta level of 20 at 13 dpo!!! It sounds like you have really crappy medical personnel - they need to tell you something!!!! Keep us posted and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Frymomma - I hope you hear something soon. Keeping my for you! What a hard situation you are in....

Good luck on all the u/s today!

How's everyone feeling - I'm pretty lousy but a million times better than yesterday when I threw up, couldn't eat and basically lay on the sofa all day! I still feel nauseous and have little appetite, but I am up and around and eating a little today, so I can't complain!

Mum- still no sickness here - although i wish it would come! Same things going on for me - sore boobs, tired, crabby, constipation and burping constantly!!! A tad bit of nausea that is relieved by the burping :-).

Tomorrow is the big day and I am trying not to feel like I jinxed myself by posting here before the 1st ultrasound!

Hi there.
Frymomma: I am so sorry and confused. Are they following you up with HCG? are the value doubling?
Please see below the time line for the US:
"Using transvaginal sonography: the gestational sac is usually visible at 4.5 to 5 weeks of gestation, with a double decidual sign appearing at 5.5 to 6 weeks. The early gestational sac grows by approximately 1 mm per day. The yolk sac appears at 5 to 6 weeks and remains until approximately 10 weeks. An embryonic pole with cardiac activity is first detected at 5.5 to 6 weeks."
Hope everuything goes well with you. I will keep my .
