Hi girls! I'm still trying to get caught up with everyone as I've been away from the forum for a few days... I'm so exhausted all the time that it's hard to even sit in front of the computer when I get home from work! I usually eat dinner and then fall asleep on the couch for an hour or two before crawling up to bed and curling up under the covers!

Tisha: Triplets! Triple-Wow!!!

Curiousgirl: Twins! Double-Wow!!!

I'm glad to hear that everyone's betas are rising nicely too!!!

Deanna: I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I read about your question about OHSS in the other thread, and hope all is OK.

Ohbabybaby: You had asked a while back about when you make your first OB appointment if you tell them that you got pregnant via IVF or not... My clinic actually faxed my OB a report of our first ultrasound and bloodwork, and then they also provide me with release papers which I believe they also provide to my OB. I'm a firm believer that my Dr's need to know everything so that they can treat me in the best way ever, so I'm sure I'll be telling them all the nitty-gritty details! I'll be a scheduled c-section for sure due to the past abdominal surgery I've had where they removed my fibroids and had to cut all the way through my uterus, so technically I'm considered high risk... adding IVF on top of that shouldn't make a difference, but I'd rather have my OB know everything. If they treat me with a little more care, so be it!!!

As for me: Besides being tired, I'm also hungry, but having horrible queasiness all the time. Eating is tough and I constantly feel like I'm going to be sick to my stomach. Lots of smells turn my stomach too, so that's not helping either. I'm still craving scrambled eggs and hash browns, which apparently is my comfort food. I've learned that onions make me sick, even though I love grilled onions, as does any type of chicken. Tuna fish is good, and I'm liking squash too (which me liking veggies is odd!). I also love ice cream, but only in small quantities. I think it's the creaminess and the cold I'm enjoying!

My clothes are all tight, but weighing myself I've only gained about 3 pounds since my ER. My weight went up after ER, then down a little, and now it's back up a few. I feel like I look pregnant already, but DH tells me "not yet", so I'm pretty sure it's mostly in my mind!

We go in for our second ultrasound on Tuesday (9/9) and more bloodwork, and then I go in on Monday (9/15) for my consult with my RE so he can release me to my OB! They originally were going to do both the ultrasound and release on the same day, but my RE is out of the office next week so we split the appointments up to separate days.
