Puppylover! I saw on the IVF thread that you were concerned about losing some symptoms - look back at this thread and you'll see you have loads of company.

Joline and Rox - I am totally having the same sleep issues! As soon as I get up to pee early in the night (usually around 1am), I just can't get back to sleep. Then it repeats again at around 4am. Then I wake up well before my alarm. I thought we were supposed to be sleeping like logs at this point! I'm sorry you're going through this too, but I'm glad to know I'm not just having a freakish experience.

Amy - Have a good week in New Hampshire.

I'm looking forward to hearing some good ultrasound news from you'all this week! Bethany

Puppyluvr!! Congratulations!

So there are three ultrasounds today? I thought just Joline and Marilynn had theirs today, but someone mentioned that Jamie does too? How exciting!! I called to schedule mine a little later in the morning on Wednesday. DH is coming with me and he thinks 8:45 is just too early. I guess I can't fault him too much for that since he usually doesn't get up until about 11:30 (he works 2nd shift). I can't wait!! And I can't wait to hear about the ultrasounds today!! Yay!

I'm (sorta) happy to say that my nausea has come back. It stinks to feel this way, but at least it's reassuring. And my boobs started really hurting over the weekend too. How crazy are we that we are excited by these unpleasant symptoms

Well, we have a fetal pole and a yolk sac but not a heartbeat yet. My RE said this is consistent with where we are in weeks and all looks normal. We are going back on Friday for another u/s to see if there is a heartbeat. He said if there isn't then, we will wait until Monday. If there isn't one on Monday, he said that is not good news.

I feel fine with this and am keeping positive.
