I'm 7w4d, and have been bleeding for the last two weeks. This is the first time I have posted on this side, and to be honest, with everything going on, I've taken a break from the site because of being scared to read anyone's bad news. Selfish I know, but I just didn't feel I could take it.<br><br ...

Fi - <br>How's it going? I've been off the site for a couple of days, because I've been spotting too and have been in bed since Sunday. I've been told all the same things - that it sometimes happens, most likely nothing wrong, but to stay down and drink LOTS of water. I was gauging that if my RE ...

Hi all,<br>Glad I'm not the only one that feels as big as a house. Strange though, I haven't really gained weight, just bigger in the middle and chest. Actually, considering the ricidulous amount of food I'm eating I have been afraid of getting on the scale. I finally found the courage and I was ...

You definately want to start taking folic acid, or even better yet, a good prenatal that has the 400mcg of folic. You want your body in the best condition possible to support your new baby.<br><br>Best of luck and whatever you do, feel silly asking, we're all there with you and have probably ...

I'm a huge supporter of acupuncture and IVF. There was a big German study completed this April that showed the group receiving acupuncture had over 40% higher success rates. The clinic I go to is very traditional and located in a huge hospital. There also happens to a an acupuncturist in the ...

CONGRATULATIONS Jules! I'm so happy to hear about your ++ive. You're a great reminder not to let down hope with those HPTs. I'll keep my fingers crossed for twins for you. I'm hoping for the same, though the idea completely terrifies my dh. Though my RE had me on a strict regimine of "don'ts," I ...

I'm so sorry to hear about the negative, I was sure it was your time. Take some time for yourself and pamper yourself like a queen, so your spirits are strong for the next try. Though the whole process is such a roller coaster with so many ups and downs, try to remember that in the end it's a ...

CONGRATULATIONS!! I can't believe it myself - I guess August was a lucky month.<br><br>You and your dh must be absolutely thrilled! I'm so happy for you and wish you luck on your first scan - maybe twins?? <br><br>Enjoy every second of it - LOL<br>Catherine

Hi Karen,<br>I've got the same stones! The only difference is that I also have an amethyst as well. The moonstone is a ring that I wear constantly, the carnelian is worn on a string around my waist, the rose quartz is carried in my purse, and the amethyst goes under my pillow. The woman who gave ...

Hi Jules,<br>You can't trust an early hpt, and sometimes can't even trust them when they're on time! The 2WW is the hardest part, especially the last couple of days. As for the AF pains, I'm not sure, but if you've been getting them since last Friday and haven't started to bleed, I'd think it was a ...

Hi Vicki - Welcome to the site! I recently joined myself, and can't tell you how wonderful and supportive everyone has been.<br><br>I too just completed my first ICSI/IVF because of male factor, and just received the wonderful news that it worked! Everything else being normal, male factor issues ...

Hi All!<br>So do I get to join your club?? Got my results on Monday and still can't believe it. I'd been getting symptoms, but of course rationalized them away to everything but and actual positive! It just seems too good to be true.<br><br>As for nausea, I notice that when I wake up in the morning ...

First of all thank you for all of those kind words, which I’m going to assume were for me since it looks like the other Kathryn is just starting FET (By the way Kathryn – I’m pulling for you. Hopefully soon there will be two of us pregos with the same name!)<br><br>As for other issues, don’t you ...

Hi all!<br><br>I guess technically I belong in ACB, but since I've ducked in here before, I thought I'd see how you were all doing.<br><br>Val-great news about the fertilization. Doing a 5 day transfer is really the best and gives you the best odds. Some clinics in the US and Canada report success ...

Maybe I was a little vague in my congrats on your test results page, because when I posted I didn't know but YES - IT'S +++++ive! Though I was terribly tempted to do a home test, I held out for the blood test at my clinic. My test was at 10am, but they didn't call back until almost 4pm - talk about ...
