So, my beta came in at 468!!! The nurse said, "Um yeah with that number we think there may be more than one in there...".

My next beta is Thursday and then my ultrasound is 11/12. I am soooooooo relieved and excited. I got a chance to talk to DH on the phone this evening while he's in Germany. I wish he could be here to celebrate this, but I am glad he will be home for the u/s.

YAY!

OMG!!!!! I am soooo happy for you Amy!!!! Your numbers are very high and sounds like multiples to me also!!!! I am sooo excited for you and Judy this is GREAT news!!!! THank you sooo much for sharing!!!!

Maribeth Thank you sweetie!!!!! I actually was shocked when he wanted to move right into a IVF without taking the BCP... Joe and I feel alot more confident with the new decision to start over...

Judy I am praying I get the same exciting news next month as you an Amy has.... seems as though the second time is charm for you girls... I pray God also blesses Joe and I with a bundle of joy or two!!!!

Cathy your baby pics are sooo darling!!!! Yes I can take a deep breath now... it was sooo funny, I sneaked out my room and looked over my results to my blood work and put it back and went back into the room... Joe said what are you doing, I told him it is my chart I can read it if I want... he then said what it say... I told him with my estrogen level I wouldn't doubt my RE is going to stop the lupron and start me on BCP.... then the RE walked in and said just that... Joe started laughing cause I knew this was going to happen... but we are both relieved...

April I hope you enjoy those after noon naps from here on!!!!!

Jennifer how was your vacation and how is your little precious sweetheart doing!!!!

Claudia honey you are one busy girl... I know the feeling of falling in love with your baby before he/she is even born... the most wonderful bond and love between a mother and her child!!!! Enjoy every min of it... I promise you will never forget how wonder it is to feel your baby move inside your body... I pray I will be able to experience that again... I loved singing to my belly while soaking in a bath...

Good nights ladies and sweet dreams...

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been MIA. My DD had H1N1 last week and I was home taking care of her. She wouldn't let me walk away from her to even throw laundry in. Then I was swamped participating in an outgrown sale in our area. It is a consignment company called Just Between Friends and they are all over the country. I love doing this stuff because we get all kinds of toys and clothes in great condition that are really inexpensive. The clothes are great for daycare, because I don't care what happens to them. If you want to see if they have sales in your area, it is jbfsale.com. Anyway, once that was done, I could breathe again!

Sarah was better by Friday, so she was able to go out trick or treating for the first time. Last year I was in the ER for my ectopic, so this was the first chance for her to go out. We went to about 10 houses, then it really starting raining, so we went home to give out candy. She had a blast. I will post a picture later today, as I don't have one here at work.

Saturday, my DH and I got our H1N1 vaccine. I work for one of the companies that make the shot. My DD loved watching us get shots for a change : )

As for the FET, I am on schedule for this month. I took Clomid on days 4-7 and go in tomorrow (day 12) for bw/us and we will hopefully know a little more about when I will do the HCG trigger. I got my meds the other day and am currently taking doxycycilne for 10 days. I am not doing PIO this time. I received Estridiol, Endometrium and Prometrium. I can't wait for tomorrow to get here.

I will write more personals later, but wanted to say how excited I am for Amy and Judy! It gives me hope for this month!

Take care all! Will be back on later!

Good to see you Kate. Glad DD is feeling better. Let's hope that you, me, and Angie can continue to make November THE month

Judy-One more day. Are you going to poas again today? Can't wait to hear the news

I'm still waiting on AF. Come on AF, show your ugly face because I'm tired of waiting. Oh, funny thing, I think I've been watching a few too many The Office reruns because I dreamed last night that Steve Carrell was my RE. Now, I've told DH different times that my RE has a slight resemblence to Steve Carrell but last night he WAS him and was being all weird and joking about everything. ALL my dreams last night were about being at the RE's office and treatments and stuff. Guess it's on my mind. Anyway, random story that I thought I'd share.

Judy - i think you have to wait until your at least 3mths b4 you can get the h1n1 and if you havent gotten the flu vaccine you have to wait 3mths for that too.

Madelina - i hope af shows her ugly face soon but until then enjoy so extra loving with dh...lol i wish i could have some from my dh....lol

im so craving a big fat piece of carrot cake with vanilla bean ice cream or a nice banana split....

You took the words right out of my mouth lol... you have to be out of the first trimester unless your OB sauys otherwise

I usually get a flu shot at my work (work in healthcare) but they haven't been available yet, nor has the H1N1. Should I try to get those in case I get pregnant? Otherwise I won't be able to get them, right?

I would, I just did, and I'm in healthcarer as well. Your insurance should cover it for you if it is not available to you at the clinic.

Thanks! Yes, she is doing much better. I was happy that she could participate in her daycare Halloween parade. We caught it early enough, so she started Tamiflu within the recommended 48 hours after fever starts. I am very grateful that she thinks medicine is a treat!

As for the vaccine, I checked with my RE before getting the H1N1 vaccine and he said to definitely get it now. I even got a tetnus shot, since it had been at least 10 years since my last one. They gave me the Tdap one (with Pertussis) since they recommend it for women trying to get pregnant or are pregnant. I figured now was the time to get it all over and done with : )

How are you doing?

Hey guys...

April, you should just go to Costco and buy all their pickles! How many jars do you eat a week? What is it about pickles that pregnant women crave? LOL.

Does anyone else have weird cravings? My co-worker craved for ashes (like cigarette ashes) but she never ate it. She really really wanted to. My cousin ate bar soap once while pregnant. And on T.V, this lady craved for lint! So she would go to the cleaners and wait around and then eat the lint. Those are some outrageous stories.

AFM: I POAS again and it did get a little darker. When I look it at, its not faint, nor was yesterday's line. It was more like a light second line. It still didn't register yet for me or DH. LOL. This wasn't what I was expecting when finding out I'm pregnant. I always thought I would cry and be the happiest person alive, but I'm not. The worrying gets to me.

First off, I cant go to Cosco and gett al their pickles because Iwould look crazy lol (keep an eye on the news for me though lol).

Secondly, when women crave things like dirt, clay, soap etc. it is a sign of a mineral deficiency, they need to talk to their OB about it .

Third... the worrying does not end. I used to think "let me just make it to 12 weeks and I will be great" WRONG lol. It just gets worse as it goes on. my best advice is STAY AWAY FROM GOOGLE... it is evil and nothing good comes out of your fingertips when searching information lol.

Forth, Pickle cravings are "fermented carbs" some poeple may want beer also because that is a form of a fermented carb lol. Yogurts also. Yeah I asked my nutritionist lol.

SO we did nt do this with the orginal girls, but we need to guess genders for our newly pregers people... oh and baby numbers!!!!!!! I claim 8 on Judy hahahhaha

[caty561]

April - make a trip to the store and buy those dang pickles....

Kate - i happy to hear you dd is doing better and she was able to go trick or treating.

Judy - April is right the worrying never ends once you know for your sure your preggo the next worry will be the 12mth mark than finding out the sex and than will be 19wks u/s....it never ends but welcome to the worrying preggo world... just enjoy this time...


madelina - everytime af would be coming around dh and i was have some real fun and poof she was there the next day.
