Anyone else out there due in July 2012? I know that most of us are just finding out but I can't wait to chat with others due in July.

My RE hasn't given me a due date yet but according to babycenter.com, it should be around the 1st or 2nd of July. I'm secretly hoping for a July 4th baby!

Look forward to talking with everyone!

Hi Amy - let's see if we can't gather some people here! I've been on a October IVF thread, and we have a number of BFP's. There was talk of starting a new thread, but perhaps they'll just stay there. It's soo busy, I'm having a hard time keeping up with everyone.

My due date should be July 2 as well. Although I have a sinking feeling we've got twins on board, so will definitely be sooner than that! We'll find out next Friday at the first U/S.

When's your ultrasound?

Hi everyone. I just got my first beta today, 119. I haven't gotten an official due date yet either, but babycenter days July 5 (my fave number!). I could only transfer 1 embryo, so its definitely a singleton. Hoping my beta level rises on Monday!! Nice to have others to chat with!

Hi Ladies, Can I join you all?
My EDD is July 1st.

Since my first beta came back so high, she said I didn't need a second. I'm so nervous, what type of symptoms are you all having?

I don't have my first ultrasound for two weeks and it's killing me to know what's going on in there. I just hope they're still settling in!

Hoping- Hi This past week, before my beta which was yesterday, I was having some cramping. It was pretty strong a couple of times towards the beginning of the week (felt like strong AF cramps) but now I don't seem to be having much cramping which makes me nervous. Sometimes when I move from lying to standing I will feel a bit of cramping, but not much. Also, this past week I was having frequent urination, but again, that seems to have stopped too :S. I am still getting up 1 or 2 times a night to use the washroom, but it doesnt feel as strong as it did a few days ago. I am not even having THAT much breast tenderness. It is more just my nipples that hurt (sorry, tmi lol). The past few days I have felt some queasiness, and gagged and almost was sick a couple of times when eating some food. I feel kind of like I should be feelinf more stuff, its so nerve wrecking. You are lucky you had such a high beta! My next beta is in Monday and I pray it increases well. Are you having any symptoms?

Twins would be fun! I don't know when my ultrasound is just yet but I suspect that they'll tell me after my 3rd Beta on Monday am.

Congrats on the beta ... mine was only 107 on my first one and I only transferred 1 as well! I don't think any of us have an official due date yet and we're just working off babycenter or some other website's calculator.

Welcome aboard ... sending you patience vibes till it comes time for your u/s!

I've been having some nausea if I don't eat regularly and some achy-ness in the pelvic region. I think I'm still a bit bloated. My boobs are sore and I have a ton of gas still. I'm still taking the progesterone so I'm not sure which ones are pregnancy related and which ones are due to the meds.

I've been a little extra hungry, had some strange dreams, have been urinating more frequently, and have been very tired but that's about it. Sometimes I wanna have symptoms so badly that I think I'm over-analizing every little thing.

I'm such a worrier. My first IVF ended in miscarriage after the baby's heart stopped beating at 10 weeks. But I was much luckier with my second resulting in a healthy boy. To this day I will always worry about miscarriage. The next two weeks are going to drag on for me.

I'm so glad you are all here to lean on!

I am the same way, probably over analyzing everything because I want to feel something to feel like everything is going how it should. That is sad about your first pregnancy, but you are very lucky to have a son This is the first time I have been pregnant, but I worry about miscarriage too! It is overwhelming to think of everything that could go wrong, but I just have to tell myself that what is meant to be will be, and that I have no control, except to eat well and relax.

So, I know some of you ladies are probably already on TheBump.com but here are the symptoms they list as "common" for being 4wks pregnant:

pregnancy symptoms at 4 weeks

• There's a chance you don't feel different at all yet, but brace yourself: nausea and vomiting may be in your near future.
• Bloating, thanks to the pregnancy hormone, progesterone.
• Mild cramping and bleeding. Don't worry -- this is totally normal as your baby implants himself to the wall of your uterus.
• Mood swings, caused by your fluctuating hormones. These are most drastic during the first 12 weeks.

Next week, we can expect to see any of the following:

pregnancy symptoms at 5 weeks

• Those same hormones your pregnancy test picked up are likely starting to rear their ugly heads, causing some (not so fun) early pregnancy symptoms. The most common? Sore breasts, nausea and fatigue.
• You might also notice yourself having the urge to pee frequently early in pregnancy because of expanding kidneys.

So, it sounds like we're all sort of on track!

Thanks for sharing!

Yes thanks for sharing. Here's to praying we all have a healthy and uneventful next 8 months!!

Hi ladies ... I'm almost afraid to post in here before we see a heartbeat! My 5dt was 10/14 - 2 thawed blasts. Beta on 10/24 was 154 ... no second beta because my doctor said it wasn't necessary over 100, and last time I insisted and it only ended up worrying us when everything was actually fine. (170 to 300 to 700-something ... think it was a vanishing twin)

Anyway, we have an ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday, 11/8. I have jury duty for the entire month of November, so I'm really hoping they let me out to go. What a pain. They said it shouldn't be a problem, but I haven't heard back yet since I made the request.

No huge obvious symptoms yet except that I can't keep my eyes open past 9:30 and I've been having headaches -- both happened last time around, so I'm hoping they mean things are going well.

Hope you're all feeling great!

[mdown071]

I agree. I am just Praying for a good beta number tomrrow! I woke up last night with a sore stomache, I think from what I had for lunch, bt I also had some really sharp cramps, but they went away once I got back into bed. It freaked me out a bit. I just cant wait for Tuesday morning when I wil get my beta results.

I hear ya ... my doc does three betas but I'm still don't know when my ultrasound is so I'll be concerned until I get to that point. I think that we'll all worry until we give birth! LOL

[mdown071]

Strange how each clinic is so different. I think my clinic does 2 beta's, just to make sure the number is doubling like it should, but I will probably pester for a third, depending on when my first ultrasound will be. I am just a ball of nerves waiting to see if it increased like it should, and then will come the nerves of waiting for the ultrasound! I dont know how to keep myself from going crazy. Lol
