Hi Ladies,

I had my last u/s with my RE today. Everything went really well. Babies measure 8w2d and 8w1d. Their hb were both 156 bpm. It was really exciting to hear them both beat so fast and strong. What a relief. They called me later today and said my progesterone levels are good, so I don't need ...

Hi Ladies. How is everyone feeling?

Welcome Lynn. I noticed your due date is the day after mine. How have you been feeling? Is this your first IVF cycle? Did you have any scans yet?

Hi Emma, Sorry to hear you've been going through such a hard time. How did everything go with your father today? How ...

Dear Sophie,

I was so sad to read your news. I had a m/c a few years back and I think the hardest part was having to tell my family. I spent a whole day in bed crying, but as time went by it got easier and easier. I'm glad you are keeping such a positive attitude. It's really impressive. I wish you ...

Hi Ladies, Hope today finds everyone doing well.

I just had my 2nd u/s today and we heard two heartbeats. Doctor said at 6wks anything over 100bpm is great. Both were over 100 so I was very relieved and happy. It was so amazing to hear them beating. I'm going to buy a baby photo album today to ...

Hi Sophie, I just read your last post. You must have posted while I was typing mine. Sorry things didn't go well today. You've been through so much already. I'm hoping and praying that you get better news next week. In the meantime, I think comfort food and chick flicks are a great way to pass the ...

Hi Ladies, How is everyone? Wow, the group got bigger since I've been away. It's great to see so many new November moms. Sorry I've been MIA. I've just been so tired.

Jenn, that's great news about the heartbeat. You must be so happy.
My due date is Nov 10th too. That's actually what I calculated ...

Hi Ladies. How is everyone feeling?

Sophie, those betas are really high. That's great news! I'm glad you are resting. It's probably the best thing right now. I'll keep praying that the bleeding stops and you get good news early next week. Did the pain go away? Lots of sticky sticky baby dust your ...

Sophie,
I'm so sorry that you are in so much pain and discomfort today. Please stay positive and just rest while you wait to hear from the clinic. A very good friend of mine bled throughout her whole first trimester and she ended up having a healthy baby girl. You are in my thoughts and prayers ...

Hi Ladies, How is everyone doing?

Emma: glad to hear you have lots of help. You'll have to give some of us pointers if we find out we're having twins too.

Jenn, isn't it crazy how weird our dreams get? When I wake up some mornings I'm so relieved that it was only a dream.

Sophie, my first u/s is ...

Hi Ladies,

I hope everyone is doing well today.

Jenn, Welcome to the boards. That's great that you got pregnant on your first cycle. I have PCOS too. Are you on a special diet because of it? I never had a weight problem, but my RE put me on the South Beach Diet while trying to conceive. I'm ...

Hi Ladies,

I think the list looks great Sophie. Sorry I spelled your name wrong, you'd think I would have gotten it right considering it's in my top 2 names if we have a girl. Oops...

I bet there will be more activity once everyone starts having their u/s. For now I've been reading the October ...

Hi Sophie,

I'm glad your best friend was able to put your mind at ease. It's very handy that she's a GP.
Thanks so much for all the information. It's nice to have an idea of what to expect at each upcoming appt. Now I am really excited for next Wednesday.
The name of that book would be great. I ...

Hi Ladies,

It's so great to read all your stories. I had a question regarding the first ultrasound. My US will be 3/12 which is 18DPT. Do you know what they will be check for? Is it an internal or external? These are questions I could probably have asked my nurse, but when she finally called me ...

Hi. I'm Kathleen and my due date is Nov 10th. I'm still having trouble believing it's really true. We have been ttc for 4 years. PCOS and hypothyroidism have been our obstacles. We transferred two blastocysts on Feb 23rd and on Monday found out we had a bfp!!! My hcg # was 291. I had bw this morning ...

Hi Ladies, I hope you don't mind if I join you. I'm doing IVF for the first time and could use the extra support and advice. I have been trying to conceive for 3 years. Last summer I became pregnant naturally, but had a m/c at 4wks. After I went off bc when we got married I found out I had a ...
