SC Holly - I guess you are gone but sorry to hear about your mom. I hoppe you have a good time with your family.

Niki - sorry to hear about your twins

HollyC - how was Atlanta? Did you get to go to the aquarium or do any sightseeing?

Ladybug - sorry about the morningsickness but I'm glad to see you over here! Is your OHSS gone?
My abdomen has lost a couple of inches so mine is getting better (it was 5 inches bigger than normal).

I'm still nervous about posting over here! My last beta is a week after the #2 and it has been torture! I hope everything is still kicking down there! I had some pulling/tightening sensations and now those are gone so it's scary! 4 more days 'til my beta


Nikki - my due date is Jan 9 feels weird saying that!

jersey - let me know how ironman was!

we have 2 more IVF girls testing (beta) today - I hope they make it over here

Tracilynn, you will be fine! Your betas will get higher and higher, and so will your confidence level Hang in there, okay!!!

My OHSS is FINALLY subsiding. I think the pregnancy is starting to take over now, so while I am still accumulating fluid in my abdomen, it seems to take different forms every day. Like, yesterday I was extremely uncomfortable because there was a lot of it, but today it seems to have gone somewhere else. It is really weird. And, I have these strange sensations going up and down my back and strong cramps every so often. This pregnancy is going to be VERY interesting!

Hello fellow pregger ladies...I got my 1st u/s today. They saw 2 sacs but said one is too small and will not make it. It should pass soon. However, the other one is doing great



HollyfromSC..so sorry about your mom....

Lovinglife...I also have a pooching belly..its quite embarassing at times because I'm petite so its really noticeable. I told DH that I might have to buy stretchy pants soon.

Can't wait to share symptoms and antidotes with everyone....

Hi everyone.... it is nice to see most of you over here...... hope the others join us soon..... I had to catch up on the post before I could reply so I see the chatty ladies made it!
so you can add me to the list with a due date of Dec 24th..... I thought it would be the 23rd according to the online calculator but my u/s on Mon said 24th! As long as that gets me in before the new year for that tax credit that will be great!

BD ...... nope to scared also and tired.... I wanted to last night but I fell asleep before he made it in there!!!

traci.... that is what has kept me from adding my ticker to my signiture here... maybe I will now... it is on my blog though

well I am gonna go work on that ticker thing and check in on the other April IVF ladies

I've completely lost my appetite (which never happens for me) not nauseated, just not hungry. I have to make myself eat and nothing tastes good. I can't drink my decaff coffee anymore either and I used to go to bed at night looking forward to drinking my decaff when I woke up. My favorite dish at Macaroni grille - Chicken Scalopine didn't taste that good yesterday either - I could barely choke it down. I'm thirsty though. Im nervous about my beta on monday since its been a week - I wonder if that's it

Traci, I lost my appetite a couple days ago. Now, it's turned into full blown morning(all day) sickness. No throwing up yet, thanks goodness. I think it's normal to lose your appetite. Just be sure that you are eating. I know it's hard when nothing sounds good. I'm sure your beta will be great! No worries.

Nikki- I am going to assume they are going to check our P4 levels before we stop? Is it exactly at 12 weeks that we stop taking it?? Oh no..another thing to worry about ....how are you feeling today?

Wannabigbabybelly! I vote you go in sooner for your U/S....

Jersey - are you feeling any better? Did the medicine work I hope?

Amy- congrats on your seeing your little bean!

Traci - It's funny how we get used to getting the constant feedback about what is going on in there, so I understand waiting a week for the next beta is hard..I feel the same way..I have to wait a week for my first u/s with no more betas in between. I feel like calling to see if I can get a 4th beta before then. Monday is almost here!! I am sure everything will be fine and you will have GREAT numbers!

Jersey - I hope you feel better.

Jessica - I would wait also. Sounds like your dr. does not want to disturb things.

LadyBug - glad to hear that you are doing better. Now enjoy being preggers.

2008Hopeful, Lovingwife,Traci - I wish I had the problem of losing my appetite. I actually have to eat to stay from being nauseated. I think I have gained over 5 lbs. but I am half expecting the m/s to kick in the next couple of weeks. Traci - love the ticker.

Marcia9043 - How is the ticker coming along?

Amy2244- CONGRATS on seeing baby.

Nikki-That's so great that you can eat like that! I went from no appetite, to having to eat all day to keep the nausea away. Now, I just feel plain old nauseus no matter what I do. I had some preggie pops left over from the baby I lost a year and 1/2 ago and surprisingly, they were still good! I've been sucking on those when it gets really bad. They help take the edge off.

I hope so. I almost called yesterday to ask for a beta but I didn't want to be a PITA! AT least it's Friday and the weekend will go fast!

.

I'm sure my appetite will kick in but I was totally addicted to the taste of my decaff coffee - even though it didn't have caffeine, I still HAD to have it every morn - but not now.

My ticker is wrong. I will be 5 weeks tomorrow and it says 5 wks and 1 day I put the right date in, checked 3 times. I must have the time zone wrong - it had like 20 time zones to pick from! I need to go fix it.

I can't wait for your U/S - I even wrote it down in my calendar

Preggie pops come as lolli pop or little hard candies. I bought the candies that you can just suck on rather than lolli pops. I didn't think that would be very discrete. They are supposed to help with m/s. They taste like sour candy. Not bad. You can buy them at maternity stores and I think they have a web site.
