What to do with extra meds and needles.

I have a bunch of extra meds and needles that I won't be using. I called my doctor's office and they won't take them back. The pharmacy will take them back, but will have to dispose of them. I hate to just throw it away if someone else could use them. I don't want to sell them, but give them away ...

Hello ladies. I'm going to be 13 weeks tomorrow. I've had pretty bad m/s. I'm on Zofran, which is helping a lot. Thank God! I've only gained a couple of lbs. so far, but my pants are all getting really tight. I feel so fat. I have one pair of maternity jeans that I live in. I need to go get some ...

Hi Kelly.

I'm doing great. I had my 1st OB appt. yesterday and we actually heard the heartbeats. I didn't think we would. I'm not sure if we heard the same one twice or if it was both babies. Such a cool sound. I have an u/s in 2 weeks and then one at 18 weeks. I'll get them monthly after that. I ...

I went in for an u/s at 6 weeks, 2 days and they saw 2 sacs, but weren't sure there was anything in them. I went back at 7 weeks, 4 days and there were 2 strong heartbeats. I think the u/s tech wasn't as good as my 2nd one either. You never know what will happen, but 6 weeks is so early. I wish they ...

Kelly,
I'm so jealous that you are feeling better. I've been so sick. I haven't thrown up yet, although I almost did last night. I just feel like I'm going to throw up all day. Some days are better than others. I'm dealing with it and I'm trying to eat as much as I can. I haven't gained any weight ...

I really wish they didn't do u/s so early. I was a complete wreck for the past week. I had myself prepared for the worst. If they had just told me they only expected to see the sacs and maybe the yolk sac, then I wouldn't have freaked out. The u/s tech shouldn't have said as much as she did. The ...

Good news. I saw 2 heartbeats today. Yay! They are measuring right where they should be too. I was discharged from the RE and I'm going to the ob in 2 weeks. I can't believe it. All that worrying for nothing. Thanks for the kind words.

Just wanted to give you ladies an update. It was good news this morning. I saw 2 heartbeats. One was 154 and the other was 167. They are measuring 7.6 weeks and 8 weeks. I'm actually 7 weeks, 4 days. Everything looked good. I can't believe it. I don't think it has hit me yet. I can't believe how ...

Update- I went in for my 7 week, 4 day u/s this morning and saw 2 heartbeats. One was 154 and the other is 167. They are measuring 7.6 weeks and 8 weeks. I'm so excited. I wish they didn't do u/s so early. They should really wait until 7 weeks. I also had a really good tech this time. I was ...

Wow Melanie. That is great news. I had my 1st u/s last Wed. and they saw 2 sacs, but they couldn't find a fetal pole or a heartbeat in either. I'm going back on Fri. to see if there is any change. I'm praying it was just too early. I was 6 weeks 2 days, but they were measuring 5 1/2 weeks. Who knows ...

Thanks so much girls. They called me back and I'm going in next Fri. I'll be 7 weeks and 4 days. They won't re-check my hcg or progesterone, which I think is strange. She said at this point, it wouldn't give them a definitive answer. I just want to make sure my hcg is still rising. Oh well, at least ...

Wow. Thank you all so much. You definitely made me feel better. They called me back and I'm going in next Fri. I'll be 7 weeks and 4 days. I'm just trying to remain positive, even though it is so hard not to worry. I'm so sick. It started last weekend and has gotten worse. That's actually a good ...

6 week u/s- no yolk sac, fetal pole or heartbeat.

I had my 6 week u/s today. I'm actually 6 weeks 2 days, but I'm measuring 5 weeks 5 days, I believe. There are 2 sacs, but she had a very hard time making out a yolk sac. She thinks one of them has it, but not sure about the other one. Neither have a fetal pole or heartbeat. Has this happened to ...

Well, I had my u/s today. I really don't know what to think. The good news is, there are 2 sacs. The bad news is, they aren't sure if they even see a yolk sac in them. She thought she saw a yolk sac in one, but not sure about the other. There is no fetal pole or heartbeat yet. I was so worried. The ...

Eimear,
I'm so sorry for you BFN. I pray that you are able to try again. I'm thinking of you.

I go tomorrow morning for my first u/s. I'm so nervous they'll tell me something is wrong, but I'm trying to stay positive. I'm also very curious to find out how many are in there.

For info. on your beta ...
