brandy -

my books indicate that we feel them better at night because:
- we're too busy during the day to pay attention
- our daily movements lull them to sleep

smita - hope you're feeling better

carla - congrats on your new babies! what fabulous names they have :) brandy - yea on feeling your baby! isn't it a strange sensation? i find that when i finally lay down in bed at night that i can feel them the best. my belly is so itchy. i've really grown in the past couple of weeks. my little bab...

happy new year everybody! 2006 is going to be a great for all of us

brs888 - i am due june 2, but it won't be that long. i would guess sometime in may. april would be pretty early, but not out of the question.

it sounds like we were in the same boat as you. being "undiagnosed" is really frustrating. we went through IVF and were successful. we did have a cancelled cycle, so that was hard, but the second time was much better. this is a very emotional process and it seems that everyday is a new hurdle to ove...

10 days post embryo transfer (3 of them 3 days post retrieval) I had an hcg level of 265. Two days later it was 621. I was pregnant with triplets, but one didn't make it past the first trimester, so now we have twins! What day in your cycle did you have the 251 number? Have you had more than one hcg...

*clears throat*

with the twins i have gained 18 pounds. that is within the range that they wanted me to gain. i feel HUGE, but am trying to understand that i have two babies inside that need nourishment.

i'm here......i'm here!!!! they confirmed yesterday that we have a boy and a girl. and BOY oh BOY are they giving me heartburn lately! i still feel really great, but the lower back/pelvic pain isn't fun. i feel like i feel on my bottom :) i love looking at them on the ultrasound. it gives me reassur...

well....i always thought that i'd be happy with whatever came our way (or i wouldn't be on the IVF board!), but when they thought it was two boys, i felt like i was going to be getting off a little easy! two of the same sex (and the easier gender to manage if you ask me!) seemed to be a blessing, bu...

We had another scan yesterday.....and uh oh.....there's a girl and a boy in there!

Hey there - I'm having twins myself. Early scan shows both boys. We'll be getting another scan next week, so maybe we'll get another peek! I have that pulsing pain in the groin, too! It's brief, but not comfortable. I'm over the morning sickness!!!!! That was just TERRIBLE from week 4 through week 1...

I had another scan yesterday. the nuchal translucency looks great (and normal) and the babies are measuring about a week ahead of where i am on the calendar. they are fat and happy! and.....the doc thinks they are both boys.

Smita -

How about taking some of my symptoms? I think that since this will be our only babies (twins) that I'm being blessed with experiencing EVERYTHING! I'd gladly give a few up to a willing participant, but not the boobs! I have them now and I LOVE them!!!

My first pregnancy had a low HcG number. They did 4 different blood draws and I never doubled. I think I started at 81. I did not have an ectopic pregnancy, though, but I did have a miscarriage. They called it a "chemical pregnancy". You'll find messages on this board about that topic. You MUST wait...

It seems like I've heard several different dates, but the latest is June 2, 2006! Likely earlier due to having twins.

Headaches are the one thing that I haven't had in the long list of 1st trimester woes! They are a common symptom, though. I watched a show on Discovery Health this weekend that was cute - Pregnancy for Dummies. It talked about headaches during the first trimester. Tylenol and ice packs are what they...
