Hey October Moms! Sounds like everyone is doing really well. I just wanted to check in as it's been awhile since my last post. The twins & I are doing well, although I'm getting more & more uncomfortable as the weeks pass. I've started doing at least half of my work from home, which has been nice ...

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been MIA. I check the board daily on my cell phone but it's difficult to post on it. Sounds like everyone is doing well. We officially found out we're having a boy & a girl 4 weeks ago! Super excited about that. Anyone have names yet? We're 90% set on Oliver & Lucy. We like ...

It's been awhile since I posted. I've been reading though & seems like everyone is doing good! I've still been having frequent u/s (every 1 to 2 weeks), my bleed is healing but it's still there. I guess they're not too worried about it anymore though. I really wanted to stop my Progesterone this ...

I just found out my OB really wants me on some kind of bedrest my entire pregnancy! She said I can't go back to work (I'm a nurse at a children's hospital) unless they can find me a desk job where I am guaranteed to be able to sit all day. For now I'm stuck at home full-time, but maybe when I'm 13 ...

Hi everyone! Just checking in...I have been released by my RE & had my first OB appt last Wednesday. It was pretty exciting because I got to have an abdominal u/s!!! I've never had one of those, so much nicer than the internal ones! The babies looked great. My OB said she could start to see facial ...

Kikie: Thanks for sharing your story. I'm not spotting/bleeding either. I think it's kind of weird because we know there is a bleed but we're not bleeding. I keep thinking every day I'm going to start spotting, but so far, so good. I hope our bodies just reabsorb it. I think my RE is more concerned ...

I had my 2nd u/s this morning. Good news & bad news...Good news first the babies look great. So cute like little teddy grahms! Heart rates were 158 & 166. Twin A measured 8w0d & Twin B measured 7w6d. Bad news is my RE found a bleed/clot. It's about the same size as the gestational sacs. She seemed ...

big hope: I just did my first PGD & am now 7 weeks pregnant with boy/girl twins! That's one of the perks of PGD, you will know what gender your embryos are :) We started out with 15 eggs at retrieval, 9 fertilized appropriately, all 9 made it to day 5, but only 2 were genetically normal. So, we ...

aeb: I had my first beta at 13dpo also. My number was 344 then 2 days later it was 1007. I just found out Monday that we're having twins & my RE said she may have seen a third. I think beta numbers vary a lot though. I've seen twin pregnancies with low numbers & singletons with high numbers. Good ...

Mandeekins: Glad you're feeling better. I wish I could say the same. My nausea is pretty debilitating, I really just want to lay on the couch all day & not move. I won't have an OB appt for another couple weeks, but when I do maybe I'll ask about different prenatals. I don't have my next u/s until ...

Barb: I'd be super excited! I know it's risky, but congrats!

Well I had a scare last night...I was at work & started spotting. I've had 5 miscarriages, so needless to say I totally freaked. DH & I rushed to my RE's office at 7:30. U/S revealed: 2 sacks, 2 babies, & 2 heart beats! I still can't ...

Niki: I have my first u/s on the 11th. It seems like the longest wait ever! I wonder if I should make an appt with my regular OB...I never thought of that. I don't even know when I'll be released from my RE. I hope you get an u/s on Monday, that would be exciting :)

TBurks: Congrats on seeing your ...

TBurks: I am 5 weeks today & am definitely still cramping. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this also. Glad to hear I'm not the only one! It's a terrible feeling though, I keep wondering what is going on in there. I have to wait 2 more weeks for my first ultrasound. Longest 2 weeks of ...

Hi everyone! I've been a little hesitant to move to this board, but after 3 doubling/tripling betas, I'm feeling a little more confident. We're PREGNANT!! Yeah us!! According to my ER, my due date is Oct. 28th. So far I've had pretty much the same symptoms as everyone else. Super bloated, especially ...

Kate: Oh, I am SO EXCITED for you!!! I must admit I was getting a little worried when we didn't hear from you yesterday! Yeah 2 babies :D !!! I did have my 3rd beta yesterday (19 dpo) and it was 4599! So, we do have very similar numbers. I hope I have 2 in there too!! Congrats again!

Jenn: I agree ...
