That's pretty exciting that you will be starting classes next week. I'm sure you will do great! What will you be teaching? How are you feeling today? Aside from my headaches, I've been feeling pretty good lately. I'm still nervous about my first u/s on Thursday, but I'm really trying hard to stay positive. I'm counting down the days with Martha and Lia!

I hope all is well with you. Hugs!

Hi, I have noticed we have almost the same time of pregnancy. My ER was 7/15 and ET 7/18. My due date is 4/8/10, yours? My RE told me other day that I celebrate a month every 10th.

I will be teaching Food & Beverage Service Management. I will have 2 sections of 40 undegrad students each.

Today I have felt very nauseaous.... not fun! I wanted a description of how morning sickness feels but could not find any. Last night I also had nausea. I read that morning sickness could happen anytime of the day. I have noticed that my best day was on Sunday after eat tons of beef the night before.

I send you a kiss!

Sarahmommy, I am praying everything goes up and well!!

April, for a great increase of HcG today!

Xaaf76x just wanted you to know I am thinking about you... and if the bleeding has stopped already just take it easy... I am thinking you are okay and your Beta will tell you that today...I will be for you!!!!


Sarahmommy some doctors have no bed side manner at all... I am sorry this happened to you today and however I am sooo happy you had enough sense to know you can't have an eptopic cause of your sterilization... Please I read that your beta has to be at least 1500 to see a sac and over 10,000 to hear a heart beat... you are still early... plus I just plugged in your beta's in the betabase and you are doubling at 45.34hours... so I wouldn't worry about nothing.... average is between 48 and 72 hours so you are doing better than average.....

[Sarahmommy]

Thanks for the support and positive words ladies.
Especially Mandy, who should be handed an honorary PhD in reproductive endo. You are wicked smart with your research, chica!

Oh my goodness. We are past the 500 pages. Wow. I have some catching up to do today. I just got on after a crazy day.
Unfortunately BSN and Lia I do not get to do u/s the same days as you anymore.
I had to go to the RE due to some issues I was feeling and they wanted me to come in.

They found HUGE cysts, fluid in my uterus cul de sac (did you guys know we had cul de sacs in our uterus?) Also the most fearful of all of the symptoms I was having was from what they call a subchorionic Bleed. It basically is the placenta seperating a tiny bit away from the uterus.
It is not bad at all but I have to take it really easy becasue it can turn into a hemorage and I COULD (but won't) m/c... that is why I am having some major cramping and pain and the bleed can make me bleed but it is ok it is very common.

With all of that crazy news. Getting to go in made me very excited becasue I got to see both little heartbeats.

it was the most amazing time of this journey. I can't tell you how much joy it made me have. I can't believe that two little beans are living inside of me.

Baby A is 6w3d with 119bpm
Baby B is 6w0d with 117bpm

God is Amazing. I do believe this is real now and I am scared at the same time cause I do not want to do anything that will harm those babies.

Lots of Love to you all.
I seriously could not be here and so happy if I did not have you guys to talk to and reach out too.
Thanks so much
God Bless all of you.

BTW, what did you decide to do about your suppository the morning of your u/s? I think I'm going to run into the same issue in a few weeks when I switch from PIO, so I was wondering what you ended up doing? I think my appt. is in the afternoon - so I guess the morning suppository would dissolve by then? I have no idea, since I haven't used one before.

Looking forward to your update after your appointment today!

Hahaha, so they did not do an u/s but thats okay with me, I get another one next week with San Diego! I took the PIO and they said it was fine lol... then they gave me more folic acid and the OB downtown prescribed me Zofran for the morning sickness Gotta catch up though, and dosge more diapers lol.

I hope all is well, also will you do all my future math homework... I am horrible at math and I am amazed you can figure that out lol

Yeay!
But, an RE (who did not even know me) did not see a sac today at 5 wk, 1 day.
He really seemed to think ectopic & I said "wait a minute buddy MY TUBES ARE BLOCKED WITH Sterilazation WIRES THAT'S WHY I AM HERE!!!"
I have faith that this is not right. It could be a problem/no baby but it is NOT an ectopic.
MY real RE called & said to come see HIM tomorrow. Cannot be ectopic bec. of my wires& the machine in room 2 is not as accurate. Probably just early & didn't see a sac.
It made me sad how quickly first dr was to dismiss me today. What if I had had five failed IVF's & just felt upset & came home & stopped meds today and there's ababy in there that he didn't bother to be certain about? Where is the compassion? I am a therapist and I treat my patients with love and compassion, even when they are angry or hating me or completely psychotic. When did we just become a womb?
Sorry to vent. I just always try to treat people in a way that considers how they will react as if God is watching my interaction.

Xaaf/April- Praying for you with bleeding.

I am so sorry that you had to experience that. Why wouldnt they just try in the other room. I would talk to your real Dr and tell him exctly what you told us....Thats just BS and he deserves a dirty diaper slap!!!

You know this is a GREAT point, all that we really want is continuity of care right? I kinda felt the same at my OB's office visit today... in fact Iwas quite depressed afterwards because of that.

There are a bunch of ghetto women in there, some with 4+ kids running amuck, some were wearing BOOTY SHORTS with their big bellies... and they did not have the body prior to the baby to have on booty shorts. Girls that seemed frustrated, and I think there was only one lady in there that was happy with her baby (she must have just given birth). The doctor ws very nice, rushed but nice. Unfortunatly this is the best place I am allowed to go unless I leav ethe area... so Nick said "Towards the end of the pregnancy you may be stratigically placed in a hospital across from UCLA" lol. I love him . He was SO annoyed today, and asked all sorts of questions, yuo can tell he is WAY excited now.
