Natasha - Great Beta numbers, I am so glad things are going well! Love your name btw! It is on my top list for girls.

Roxane - Happy B-day, a little early, that is so great you even have your own song "Born on the 4th of July". Also, yes, I am on Facebook, my silly DH has already posted that he is going to be a father on his facebook page, so all of our friend know, it is a little nerve racking.

Jamie - I hope things are better with you and no more cramping/spotting. I have had cramping, it feels like light menstrual cramps. Everything I have read says that this is just your uterus expanding. I so hope that is true.

Dani - I love the picture of you and DH on you sig. That is great.

Migmel - Wow, I hope you recover quickly from your bladder infection, that must have been scary.

Babywishes - Congrats!!! OMG you must feel so good now, my first u/s is tomorrow and I am going crazy.

Denise - That's great you got to see you little bean again, even if it was on a pre-historic u/s machine. That is total cr*p that you have to get tested again. Oh and I hope you don't have to use the meds, but if you do I am sure it will not be a problem for the baby.

I just went and bought your pregnancy week by week I am excited to read it, I read on some threads here that people recommended this book.

Well, I am a little nervous about my u/s tomorrow. I will keep you posted tomorrow.

Have a good evening.

Ana

Yes, mine did that too. I thought it was weird since I just had all the done with the RE but I'm sure they are just covering their toosies.

Congrats on all who had u/s today! I'm nervous about mine tomorrow!

I don't have facebook, but I am on myspace.

I'm glad everyone is doing well!

[migmel]

I have a myspace. My email is melmig1@yahoo.com so we can all be friends on myspace too.

[Roxane]

I dont have a myspace but if anyone wants to be friends on facebook then just PM me!

Melanie- Im glad it was just a bladder infection! What a scare!

Babywishes- I am so glad everything looks great!

Good luck on everyones u/s tomorrow. I have an appt with a dietician tomorrow too. I just wish I actually felt like eating. I think my m/s is getting worse. I used to feel better after eating, but now I feel poopy about 99% of the time! And it doesnt help that my dogs always get in my face... their breath makes me want to dry heave.... No more doggie kisses!!!

Anastasia, Thanks, I like it too. Ironic, a name on the top of our list of girls is Ana. I know your name is Anastasia, but you signed it Ana. We also like Journey for a girls name.

Hi ladies.

Melanie-sorry about your scare..but glad it is just a bladder infection.

Happy to hear the good news about the u/s reports.

Donna-good luck on your U/S tomorrow.

I have another beta tomorrow and I'm going to see if they can squeeze me in for an u/s....i'm anxious to see how our little bean is doing.

We are having family and friends over tomorrow night...we have a tradition where we have a july 3rd get together....we have a large farm so there is plenty of room for everyone and the kids play while the parents catch up. I'm excited for it. just hoping my nausea settles down a bit.
the rest of the weekend with will spend off and on at the lake.

Talk to you all soon.

Renee

Renee, Donna, Natasha and anyone else having tests and scans today, good luck!

Today is a good day for me! It's the first day in a long time that I woke up with no queasiness! YEAH! I know it can be temporary but I'm celebrating!

Roxane, I hear you about the smells! My dog has an ear infection and everytime I put the drops it, the smell makes me want to PUKE! Same goes with opening up the dog food. Oh, and defnitely no doggie kisses, at least not in the face! HOpe you feel better soon. I think it's your hormones raging with 3 littles ones in there.

On another note, I'm starting to feel fluttering in my stomach at night! I've noticed this a couple of times now while lying flat. This is my second pregnancy and they say that you feel things earlier with subsequent pregnancies. Anyone else feel the same?

This is so scary. Bleeding got better yesterday and this morning at 5:30 am I wiped before urinating and the whole peice of tolet paper was brown blood, then at 7:30 hardly nothing. I find it very hard to believe this is coming from my bladder. I have never had a bladder infect. in my life so I really don't know but have never heard of brown blood from the bladder. Sorry I know TMI but just needed to vent.

Brown blood means "old" blood, so that's a good sign. Hopefully the medication is working for you.

If you want to be sure the bleeding is not coming from your vagina, just lightly put a tampon in and take it out. This will confirm it for you.

That is funny. Yes, I usually go by Ana, b/c people kind of look at me funny when I say Anastasia. Journey is a great name too, very symbolic.

Ana, good luck on your ultrasound today! Can't wait to see your lil' bean!

[tulip23]

I got a lil worried too since last 2 days I saw a lil bit of very light brown discharge , though not evertime I wiped. I'm using a trans-vaginal progesterone so I know I don't get any blood when I apply the capsule in there but when I wiped I did have some brownish stuff on the toilet paper..I'm scared something might go wrong! anyone with a similar experience ?

Tulip, I think the brown discharge is normal, especially if you're using the progesterone suppositories. I'm on them too and the stuff that comes out is pretty scary looking! It goes from brown to dark pink and every color in between. It's even normal to get spotting if you're not using the suppositories because your cervix is becoming much more vascularized (a lot more blood is moving down there to support the baby).

Hi everyone! Not much new here - still feel nauseous and exhausted all day, every day. And now I have a cold which makes it so much worse.

Good luck today for everyone who has appointments coming up!

Question - I did a little reseach (which I should know by now is a BAD idea) and now I'm a little worried that the hb at my last u/s was too high - it was 162 and I was 7w4d although the measurement was 7w1d. Is that too high??
