Hello ladies--
Champa-I really hope that this cycle is the cycle for you. My fingers are crossed
Lola-How are you feeling? I hope that you are doing better.
Sam- I read your posts all the time but didnt realize that you were so far along. I remember seeing you as the first BFP on the board and now you are almost there. Has it gone by quickly for you so far?
Imsb- I totally agree about having more energy. So far I am enjoying the 2nd trimester
Suzhan-You may have answered this b4, but where did you get your doppler?
Hope all is well with everyone. Nothing really new with me. I had my 2nd ob appt today and heard my brownie's heartbeat just thumping away. I'm looking forward toMarch 15 so that I can see "her" again and actually get some confimration that the baby is indeed a "her"
Take care!
First IVF in August,

Hello everyone,
I just had my US today and I was supposed to have another one tomorrow, but it was rescheduled for Tuesday. So far I know only gender of the baby A and baby B did not want to show it. They are both very very active and weigh 7 ounces already. We are not telling anybody the news until we know both genders, we want to wait until Tuesday for the doctor to confirm it and let us know both... but I will at least tell you all, the first one at the bottom of my tummy is a BOY! My husband was there and he was thrilled as he was really hoping to get at least one boy and I am very happy too. (but I am sure my hubby would be thrilled with the girl as well). I stopped at the store on the way home and bought a little tiny blue onesie that says: "I am handsome like dady" on the front. I will give it to him when he comes home from work today....
I am still sick and it looks like this flu is not going to go away anytime soon. But both babies are doing well and are very healthy!
I will write more soon! Love Lola

Lola - how exciting and congrat's on your little boy! I can't wait until you find out the other one.....but I bet DH is overjoyed. I hope your flu is starting to get a little better by now.
Wannababy - I got the doppler on amazon for $115. I agree that the 2nd tri is MUCH easier...I feel so much better most of the time!
Sam - glad you're FINALLY feeling a bit better....I can't believe you're already in the 3rd tri now! It seems so close.
Champa - I've been thinking about you this week, hope the scan went well....keep us posted.
Mia - how are you and the 'twins'? when's your next scan? Very exciting!
Hope everyone else is well.....take care and keep in touch

I know this is a fertility thread and we have all given support on our pregnancies and IVF process however, I thought this is a good place for me to vent and get support. My dog which is only two years old choked on a bone yesterday and died, She is absolutly the love of my life and have gotten me through everything these past two years. My husband has been a rock star but my love for my dog was just endless. I am sooooo sad and feel like talking to none of my friends who all have been calling. My husband thought I was going to go into labor yesterday after feeling distressed. I know it can't be healthy for the baby but I can imagine pushing this devestation behind me right now. I do not know what to do.
On top of it, I think we are going to ask for another U/S (last one was before the pneumonia) to make sure the baby is fine. My husband (who is usually very grounded) feels that I have suffered so much this pregnancy he is nervous the baby is affected. That is scary to me but know it should be done.

Sam - I am so sorry to hear about your dog. Please accept my condolences and know that you are in my thoughts. Please take care of yourself but also let yourself grieve as well.
Lola - I hope you are feeling better. Congrats on the boy. How exciting. It must be so nerve racking to know the gender of one and not the other. Good luck for your next scan so that you can find out what the other one is.
Suzhan and Wannababy - Glad to hear that the second trimester is going better for you.
As for me, on Friday I found out that instead of rising, my hcg levels fell. They stopped the progesterone and now I am waiting for the bleeding to start. The RE wasn't in on Friday so I don't know what went wrong and I don't know if they'll ever be able to figure it out. We're not sure what the next step will be. We are waiting to hear what the doctor has to say and we'll go from there.

Hi suzhan, I've been feeling constant nausea for the last few days. Have been forcing my self to eat. Bread is the only thing that seems to go down OK. I also added a gummy bear children's vitamin to my daily pill box. I just don't think i can eat a balanced enough diet right now. I do make sure to drink plenty of milk. I have bought ginger ale and ginger snaps to help with the nausea, so far it helps some. My next scan is next Thurs. hopefully we'll see 2 HBs! I can hardly wait. How are you? the baby's HB still good?suzhan wrote:

Sam ---- I am so sorry about your dog, my husband's aunt just lost one too and it was so sad, because little Andy was just like another family member. He was 14 years old though. It must be much harder if they are only 2 years and it is an accident like this one. I know you worry a lot about your little baby too, but don't worry, they are pretty strong in there. I always think of 9/11 moms - the ones that were pregnant when they lost their husbands, their babies are all healthy and it looks like the stress during the pregnancy did not harm their babies at all....
Myhb ---- This is so sad, I cannot even imagine what you must be going through at this moment. It looks like they don't even think there is a chance, do they? I am with you in my mind and I hope this time will pass quickly and you can be happy again. I am sure you will have a baby soon or later, just like all of us, and we will be here for you all the way! I just don't know why your road to having one has to be so "rocky"...
You will be in my prayers today at church, we are just leaving to go there. Please stay strong! Lola

Mia,
the nausea is terrible, and I still have it (I just threw up this morning, sorry for TMI). I still have to force myself to eat as well and nothing tastes good. I don't even have any cravings like other women. But bread and milk are fine, just make sure you take your vitamins. I drink 3 glasses of milk a day. If you throw up, eat some saltine crackers. They seem to calm my stomach down.
Suzhan -- my flu is still there, but it is not as bad is it used to be. I still don't feel the babies moving, but they are very active on the US. We are going to church now, so I have to go. Hope everything is going well with your pregnancy! Lola

Myhb - My heart dropped when I read your post. How frustrating. I hope you'll be able to meet with your RE soon to try and understand this. Please keep us posted on what they say. I'm so sorry.
Sam - I was also very sorry to hear about your dog. I can only imagine your shock and sadness. My thoughts are with you as well.
Sorry it's been such a rough weekend for you ladies. You know we're all hear to listen and support whenever you need it.

mhb-I am so sorry to hear about your news. How are you doing today? Have you gotten any info from your doctor? Please take good care of yourself.
Sam-I never understood how people grived over the loss of a pet until we lost our dog some years back. I never thought it would hurt so much! It's amazing how how animals become a part of our families. I hope that you are doing well. I agree with what Lola said. The widows of 9/11 were under tremendous distress and their babies were born just fine. As a counselor, I always stress the importance of grieving and working through your feelings. I hope that you are doing so and taking care of baby all at the same time!
Lola- A boy (so far)! That's great. Are you now secretly hoping for a girl?
I'm sorry you are still dealing with ms.
Hopeful-I heard that ginger snaps are good for nausea. I hope you are feeling a bit better. When you hear the heartbeat, your heart will melt.
Suzhan-How are you doing? Have you bought any maternity clothes yet? I know that were are pretty close with our babies development. I bought my 1st pair of pants over the weekend and boy are they comfortable! I'm going to try to hold off on buying shirts until the spring. I dont want to spend a lot of $ on my new wardrobe!
If I missed anybody, I'm sorry. I hope that all is well. Take care!

Girls, I have breaking news,

They are 100% sure! They saw it clearly, the boy was confirmed, we saw the little hotdog... and the girl finally showed us her hamburger. We are so thrilled!

Lola,
That is fantastic news!!! It is almost everyone's dream going through IVF, or at least mine. I am happy with my baby girl but when I did not know the amount of babies that took part of me wanted twin boy/girl so I could be done forever with fertility issues.
Good for you for going to buy them something. I have always heard that is the thing to do as those items will always be special for you.
Exciting Exciting.
My babyshower invites went out today.....feels official that the end is near. First baby class this weekend. Wow!
It is nice to see that most of you girls are into the "safe zone", it is a great place to be. Thank you again for the support on my dog, it has helped. Since I am too emotional too talk about with my friends the emailing about it helps.
