Hi All- I am 17 weeks along and so far so good. I have an at-home doppler and check the baby's heartbeat every night (I still can't feel any kicking). It's been measuring around 145-146. At my 16 week check up the doctor estimated it at 148. Just wondering how that compares with what you ladies have...

Purple- Your ultrasound sounds wonderful! How are you feeling? We are doing the first trimester screening so we will have an ultrasound at 12 weeks on the 20th but after that I will only have one at 20 weeks and that's it! With my daughter we paid to have a 4D ultrasound done at 30 weeks so we may d...

Thanks for the feedback. I was afraid that was the case. And yes, I have been using lots of ultrasound gel. I tried again this afternoon and at one point the bpm jumped up to 155, then 159, then I lost it. It sounded faster but it happened so quick I couldn't get a great sense. So I am hoping that w...

Hi girls. For those of you with the sonoline B dopplar, how do you know if you are hearing your hb or the baby's heartbeat? I am 10 weeks today and I have been trying but I'm not sure if it's the baby. At my8 week ultrasound the heart rate was 175 so I have been looking for something in that range. ...

Hi Ladies! Well first of all, my ultrasound with the RE yesterday was just what I needed. OMG it is absolutely amazing what a difference there was from just one week ago. At 8 weeks the baby was all snug as a bug curled up in the fetal position. Yesterday I could see its arms and legs and it was dan...

Thanks ladies!! Had a scan at my RE and little bean was moving all over. Healthy as can be and measuring right on track so I'm very relieved. I am thinking I may ask my OB to forget about the doppler until he is SURE he can find something! That was too scary for me!

Hi ladies- Quick update from me. Went for my first OB appt yesterday. He said it may be too early to hear a heartbeat with the doppler but he would try. So after a few minutes...nothing. I started freaking out and he assured me over and over it was perfectly normal, that the usual time frame to hear...

Thanks Hazel! I think sometimes regular OBs just don't understand how on edge we are as IVF patients. I do have a DD from a past IVF and he was my OB and I loved him through that pregnancy so I am probably going to stay with him but it does bother me. He is just veeery laid back. Which in a way his ...

Hi all- I'm 9 weeks pregnant and yesterday was my first OB appointment. He tried to find the baby's heartbeat with a doppler and couldn't locate it so now I am freaking out. He told me that it is early and not typical to find it but sometimes he will get lucky which is why he tried. But still for so...

I feel stupid posting this but I'm a bundle of nerves lately! Yesterday I must have ate something that didn't agree with me because I had a horrible stomach ache and cramping. I know it was my stomach because eventually after a few hours I ended up having a bowel movement (sorry TMI) and after that ...

Hi all! Rio- So glad you are moving forward after all that has happened! I'm sure it has been so frustrating for you so I'm glad things are finally progressing. Kitty- The waiting never ends! Hope it goes fast! Pa_Fa- Thinking of you and hoping all is well. ((hugs)) purple- I bet that was a fun surp...

Hey girls! I am finally finding a moment to post and there is lots to catch up on! Kitty- I agree that the 2ww for ultrasound is so hard. I honestly found it harder than waiting for my beta. I'm on yet another 2ww right now for my second ultrasound. I am running out of patience!! Mev- Welcome! And c...

Hey everyone! Quick update from me. Had my ultrasound and all looks great. Just one little peanut in there! I am 6 weeks, 3 days but measuring at 6 weeks, 4 days. So right on track! Heart rate was 120. Does that sound about right? Anyone know what heart rates are expected at this point? The Dr seeme...

Congrats Purple!! Twins!! So exciting!! I hope my ultrasound tomorrow goes as well as yours!!

Purple-
How was your ultrasound today? Can't wait to hear all about it!!
