Yeah Megan! glad you're getting started - looks like you had some great frosties too! Good luck.

Kristen - hope that number doubled, can't wait to see it!

Stacey (TX) - I'm feeling ok, just really tired (especially in the mornings). My nipples are super sore too! I put a new ring in last night and this morning I have a bit of a headache. I seem to get those the first few days after a new ring. No morning sickenss though at all. My lower belly feels pretty bloated and some of my clothes aren't fitting the same. I've gained 2 pounds total already, trying to keep that in check. It just seems early to be swelling already? Unless there's two in there! My gut still says there's only one, but the wait until next Friday is too long to find out a head count! How are you feeling? Still having moring sickness?

Cheli, I hear ya on the bloat! I am right there with ya, my favorite pair of jeans didn't fit too well on Saturday. I am especially bloated in the evening. I am still having cramps or pressure from time to time and sometimes my lower back hurts. My nipples are sore also. As for the morning sickness no more since Monday so I am chalking that episode up to nerves! I had my first good day of eating yesterday. Since getting the news I have not had much of an appetite. I just can't wait until the 11th for a little more assurance that everything is a okay

No news yet and I'm going NUTSO!!!

Megan - YEAH for !!! You are so close!!!

Cheli/Stacey - I've been bloated for three months from the last round of IVF!!! I bought maternity jeans back then and have kept me sane through all of this!

I'm sort of worried about my beta because my boobs aren't really hurting and don't seem bigger or fuller...just have an occasional twinge down there and some heartburn in the mornings...that's about it...I'm hoping that they call me soon!

waiting

I don't know how you ladies are doing all this waiting without wanting to pull your hair out. AF arrived yesterday and I am just waiting to hear back from the office to see what I'm supposed to do next. I am anxious to get this show on the road! I check the board every 5 minutes to see what's new. Can't wait to hear everybody's numbers!
Good luck!

Kristen - CONGRATS!!! I am so happy for you! What exciting news!

Molly & Nicole - I am so sorry, I hope you are both ok..as ok as you can be anyway

Cheli & Stacey - Congrats on your growing betas!

At my follow up yesterday the Dr said that if he had to venture a guess, he said w/a perfect looking cycle and embryos(like I had) there were three possible reasons. 1) the embryos were just genetically abnormal, he said this happens w/everyone, it's a 50/50 or 60/40 shot. 2) my uterine lining wasn't allowing them to implant due to some type of defect...slim chances, he said but possible 3) uterine lining wasn't allowing them to implant due to blood clotting issues. So if I were to move forward they would most likely test for clotting disorders and do an endometrial biopsy. Not sure what we're going to do, we'll probably talk over the next few days.

Good luck to everyone at all their various stages!

Second beta is...

192!!

So it's not exactly double, but it's close enough for me!! I am also pretty positive that there is only one in there for me too so DH is breathing a sigh of relief now. LOL.

Hope everyone is doing well today!
