Anyway, hope you are all doing well!!!

That is awsome!!! Same thing happened to us after 3 failed ivf's and a m/c. I am now 6 weeks preg. Miracles do happen.

wewantababy- Congrats! That is great news!

Newbie- Glad your NT scan looked good! I have mine next friday, so hopefully things will be great with mine too.

Rose- Congrats! Great news.

Linz- I am glad that AF decided to show up finally. Sorry the cramps are bad. I remember with my first, the cramps were terrible and the bleeding was severe and lasted forever! I felt like I couldn't even go anywhere. I hope yours goes quickly so you can start to heal. Praying for you.

AFM, I have my first OB appointment tomorrow since graduating from RE. Did you all have an ultrasound done at your first OB appointment? They told me they might do one, but might not. I don't like that answer. I want to see the baby!

Congrats to all the great news!!!!

Linz - am please that the dreaded showed up... but sorry that you have to suffer through all of this. I am thinking of you.

Nlp - I didn't get an u/s when I 1st graduated to OB, but they are all different.

My news - So far I have been able to sleep on my stomach, but last night was driving me crazy I couldn't get comfortable no matter how I tried... Then this morning I woke up and my stomach is HUGE!!! I mean HUGE!! It's like it grew out of no where overnight! So cool n crazy all at once.

I continue to listen to the heart beat with the monitor we bought, and I am sure I felt the baby move this evening!!! Exciting times !!!

Sloulamp- Isn't it great to start seeing your belly!? I just love it! I noticed mine about a week ago or so. I thought it was too early, but apparently, it's not. I just can't wait until I am 8 months about to pop!

AFM, I had my first OB appointment today. They say everything looks fine. They did a realy quick ultrasound and baby was moving around again! They have still not measured the heartbeat and they say they don't do that. I thought it was strange. He said he thought it was about 140 BPM or so and that it was perfectly fine. I also found out that with my arcuate uterus, I have a high chance of having a breach baby, which means I will probably need a cesarian.....I am scared for that!

Wow, sloulamp! That is so exciting. My tummy is poking out enough to make finding something to wear difficult, but still not looking very pregnant. Just like I had a huge dinner! LOL! And I'm not feeling flutters yet, but the baby is always active at ultrsounds so I'll just be patient, I guess!

Oh, and I pray ur NT scan goes great. I'm sure it will!

Thanks honey - I had the NT scan a couple of weeks ago and everything was GREAT!!!

I kinda feel the same about the huge dinner, but it was so strange yesterday when I woke up!!

As for the movement it's more like bubbles than flutters... very weird sensation!

Great News everyone!!!

So on Monday night I woke up about 2am with the most intense cramps. It felt like a charlie horse in my stomach. I was doubled over on the floor. The bleeding was a lot. I almost ended up in the er because the pain was so bad. We called my doc at 3am and they sent me Tylenol with Codeine. Finally about 5am I was able to bear it. My doc said since I went so long waiting for af that it was normal to be this bad. I do think that the bad part is finally over. I just keep reminding myself that "This too will pass."
