Hi Everyone!

If you are checking out this thread you must have had a and have a due date in July 2013.

My name is Sunshine and most of my info is on my signature. But a brief history of myself is as follows:
I have a DD (10), DS (9) and had a TL in 2003 following my sons delivery. I was in an abusive relationship and didn't want to bring another child into it and birth control does not work for women in my family.
In 2007 I met the man of my dreams and we were married in 2009. Shortly after we began the journey to IVF. Our first cycle was cancelled due to cysts, my second cycle was awesome with 31 follicles retrieved. We transferred (3) 3 day embies. We were beyond ecstatic when we got our BFP...but the lines slowly stopped appearing. My BETA was 31 and then 5 and we were diagnosed with a Chemical Pregnancy.
I grieved beyond belief and fell into a deep depression. We decided to attend marriage counseling and after 6 months counseling we graduated.
We soon began to prepare for our FET. I lost 35lbs and started supplements. On November 2, 2012 we transferred (2) perfect re-expanding blastocysts. 4dp5dt I got my first BFP and each day since it has gotten darker. BETA is 11/12 and I know we will have healthy #'s.
Our due date is July 21st (my 35th birthday). Looking forward to meeting some others that are also due in July so we can share our journeys with each other.

I think we both posted in the October FET forum. I'm still so cautiously optimistic, don't really want to post anything about pregnancy over there because I know how hard it is to get a BFN and be surrounded with success stories.

I am scared to death now of a miscarriage. I look at my two sharps containers full of needles and think that all of this could be for nothing.

Yesterday I had a small amount of brown discharge and freaked out. Even though it was the smallest amount, and hasn't come back since, I was in such a panic. Called the RE, who reassured me. Blood work today was good, but really it's all I think about now and I hate that I just can't relax about it! I know the worrying never ends...even with my daughter I still worry, and she's almost a teenager!

Sorry to vent, so YEAH for July 2012 due dates!!! Just hope I make it

Sorry I am replying so late...I have been MIA! Have not been feeling so well. Look at those #'s
I have had 3 betas this week. Monday 140, Wednesday 310 and today (waiting). YAY for us!! I also had brown discharge that started last friday and is still there when I wipe. RE is not worried but since I am he increased my Progesterone injections to twice daily. I am also proceeding with caution...I want to scream and tell everyone I am pregnant but then I think about how fast it could be gone...so, I am taking it one day at a time. Can't wait to see your US next week! Ours should also be next week, just need to get to 1000 beta.

Hi Ladies,

Well I have a bit of a different story! I was unable to conceive for 3 years (more info in my signature) In September I had a donor egg ivf which resulted in a miscarriage (chemical pregnancy) at 5 weeks. I started my period 1 week after miscarriage. My clinic wanted me to take a break for a month and then do a FET with my 1 donor egg Frostie. Well.... when I was waiting to start my period to get things started for my FET, I was feeling 'pregnant'? I thought could this be possible? I am NOT supposed to have viable eggs and DH has anti-sperm antibodies, so this is NOT supposed to happen! Low and behold I take a HPT and it was positive!!!!!!! WHAT??? Beta HCG confirmed it! I have had betas every 2 days: #1-33, #2-58, #3-107, #4-241. The betas are looking good but my worry is that I have had cramping, bleeding, and tiny pieces of tissue when I urinate? So I am too cautiously optimistic! I have been off work since I started bleeding but plan to go back next Thursday, if all remains the same!

Greeneyesmommy- From what I can gather my estimated due date is July 21st or 22nd!!! So we will be right along side one another! I can't wait to hear your beta for today!! Keep us posted!

Uni- I hear you on the freaking out! I have heard brown discharge is perfectly normal! for you too!!!

[vivamom2be]

I am so excited to see both of you here. We just got our today! While we were waiting the two hours for bloodwork, we took off to walmart and did a HPT! We were quite the spectacle! It's kind of scary to see the miscarriages on here....I always felt if I could just get preg, everything would race to the finish. Go figure, I saw a shooting star one night that nobody else saw and I just knew. Crazy? Horomonal from tons of horomones? Maybe, but preganant!

Hello there Green-eyed Mommy:
I was wondering why they have prescribed you the Heparin as I'm only advised to take the Baby Aspirin, 1x/day. Just curious if it's individual to you or their normal protocol. Congrats!

[greeneyedmommy87144]

Hi There!

Heparin is for + antiphospholipid antibody in my first pregnancy. So, once they find it you are treated for it each pregnancy. I also take baby asprin

and congrats on your . If you are super worried I would head to the ER and have an ultrasound and some bloodwork. I have had brown discharge for a week sometimes it looks like a little tissue too. But, the numbers don't lie! But, you shouldn't sit home going crazy either...

Greeneyes-I don't see the point in going to the ER, last time they did an u/s, saw a gestational sac but told me I was just going to have to wait and see??? That's what all the Doctors and nurses have been saying! Did you get your beta result from today yet? Can't wait to hear the good news!

[greeneyedmommy87144]

The wait during early pregnancy is nerve wracking...I am so sorry you have to go through this. But, let's try to be positive because right now you are and the baby picks up on everything. I will be sending your way and for you.
AFM- 3rd BETA 729 Ultrasound next Friday.

729

Although I know I am positively pregnant I am still cautious...it is amazing what the infertility journey does to your soul. At this point I have given it to God and I trust he knows what is best for me. Right now I am so happy that we got this far.
Next Friday is our 1st ultrasound and I am soooo excited to see what is happening inside.
Until next time
Sunshine

[hopeitissoon]

Yes, I'm trying to stay as positive as possible!!!!! I am up and down like a yo-yo!

Greeneyed-AWESOME beta jump!!!! So happy for you!!
