aww, hang in there. i've been feeling the same way. people will talk to me about my pregnancy and i cant seem to muster up enough enthusiasm. today i woke up feeling like i'm actually depressed and on the verge of tears all day. completely out of character for me, i think people are surprised by my ...

i got to see my little bean again. i went in to the drs last week for OHSS causing some pain. the added bonus to the appt was another view of the cutest little bean id ever seen. heartbeat strong at 150bpm. and everything seems right on track still.
hoping and hoping that this pregnancy stays on ...

we did not circumcise our son (he's now 9yrs old). there's many adult benefits to being "uncut" and i think it's less unusual in the US then it used to be. my husband figured that if our son decided he wanted to change its something that can be done at any time. but at least it would be his choice ...

KAW- ((hugs))

our board has been so quiet. i hope everybody's doing well (and babies too).
i am in the waiting period for my next scan (constantly full of nerves). my OHSS has caused my belly to swell to new proportions. it looks pretty amazing. i just consider it a trial run for my big pregnancy belly i'll have ...

i wonder if there's some connection to OHSS and increased likelyhood for twins. i have PCOS which greatly increases my chances of OHSS. i've been a little curious to see if they find a twin at my next scan. doubtfull though because my first scan was at 6 weeks 2days, unlikely that a sac could hide ...

congrats on your success! i too had a successfull first IVF cycle. and i am also still "sufferring" with OHSS. i am now 7+ weeks pregnant and look like i'm 4-5 months. it looks pretty incredible. its difficult to explain to people (who ask) why i look so bloated in spite of being newly pregnant. i ...

brandi- i've been lurking on this post, so glad it went well for you and baby. congrats!

gbndaddy- you are going to be a great dad. now get some sleep, you'll need all the sleep you can get now.

we had our first ultrasound yesterday. we have one strong lil embryo in there. the heart beat is amazing to see. but in some ways makes me more nervous about the chance of losing this pregnancy ...

conratulations pregnant ladies! i'm due in late february, so i am very close to where you're all at. try to enjoy as much as you can without getting too anxious. thats advise i need to learn more than anybody haha.

gbndaddy-congrats and welcome!

sweety-congrats on your ultrasound, unfortunatley i don't know anything about gestational diabetes. let us know how it goes with the dietician.

i am super excited (and horribly nervous) about my appointment today for my first ultrasound. hoping all goes super.

i have been on pins and needles for the last week (waiting on my first ultrasound) because i have had AF like cramping. thankfully no spotting. so i got an extra BETA test to make sure all is weel, and it is. my dr said the cramping is perfectly normal and happens for a variety of reasons.
i'm sure ...

sweety- sorry for the "morning" sickness, hang in there.

i got the results of my beta from yesterday, and what a relief, all is progressing perfectly. i can actually look forward to mondays ultrasound without being such a ball of nerves. ahhhhh.

HCG- days from retrieval
16------442
18------819 ...

Jenn- congrats on your second successfull U/S. that's awesome , and thanks for the encouraging words.

kathy-haha, i do have to fight the urge to check for spotting constantly. thankfully(?) i have had an increased need to urinate so i have an excuse. i think that because it is such a struggle to ...

i am hoping that the two BETA tests i had last week indicate that i could be less nervous. unfortunately it has not been the case. i am a nervous wreck. does anybody have any insight about into having strong HCGs early on indicate a decreased miscarriage rate?
i have my first ultrasound next monday ...
