WOW!!! So much activity... I can't post during the work day but I do sneek a read in every now and again so I am up-to-date...
First things first... WHERE THE HECK IS VLADA?!??! I am so worried about her... anyone PMing her? I just wish we knew the status. Wasn't she supposed to go in today for another U/S? Geez, I hope all is well...
OK Lisa and WC - coffee and c-sections?!?!?!? What's up with THAT?!?!? Just FYI I did NOT stop drinking coffee when I was pregnant with my son because I was told that one to two SIX ounce cups per day was OK. I only drank one BIG mug full though... and YES, cappucino has WAY LESS caffeine than espresso or reg columbian coffee per ounce... 'nough said... As far as the c-section is concerned I would rather deliver vaginally since I have had my share of surgeries THANK YOU!!! BUT the thought of having to heal in BOTH places... hmmm... that makes me think a c-section might be easier in the long run. We'll see... in any event, if I follow Dr. Barbara Luke's advice carefully I may have a better change of 2 vaginal deliveries...
Clothes on-line... I have always loved shopping on-line but with this I'm not sure I will because I really don't want to get too, too many maternity clothes. I don't know why, call me crazy, but I am NOT crazy about the idea of being huge - I will get clothes as I need them (and it looks like I will need them sooner than later eh?). I just hate buying clothes that's all - always have for some reason...
Hey Rebecca... what is going on honey? Are you okay now? Did your blood pressure dip or was it because of the increased flow to your babies that you got dizzy? It was clot wasn't it? - the bleeding I mean. Damn those clots! We still haven't heard from Vlada yet either! Take care of yourself and get the rest you need - DO WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS!!! (that's the end of my lecture
) TWINS in there too huh? COOOOL... WAAAYYYY COOOOOOLLLLL....
Snow... your progesterone levels can NOT ever be too high. Whatever the babies don't use your body will flush out... Not to worry... You are perfect and so are we all who have to use PIOs for another only goodness knows how long!!!
Lisa - I promise we will make the time to do lunch as soon as I can eat without feeling like I want to barf straightaway when finished
Seriously... when we start to do some holiday shopping out and we're both feeling less tired (and maybe less bloated/fat/nauseous - at least on my part) we WILL have lunch or some other form of sustenance - it's a DATE!!!
WELCOME BACK Robinsonpr!!!! Glad you had a relaxing time!! It's this very time of the year that I go BACK to work and its been a busy year so far. Not that I'm complaining - I do love my job and I appreciate the busy-ness (never could remember how that word is spelled
) It helps to keep my mind off the fact that I feel like utter crap - nausea, exhaustion etc... you know - pregnancy stuff. Oh, I hated feeling like this with my son too and what do ya know?! I go and do it AGAIN!!!!
OK... anyone looking FOUR months pregnant? Yes, MEEEEEE!!!!! Oiy - I cannot believe how big I am at the end of the day (not to mention how WIDE my caboose has gotten with all the blood and fluid increase!!!) GREAAAAT! One friend who DOES know told me "nah... there's nothing there" so is she BLIND or just trying not to call me fat????
You know I'm actually scared to go to my ob/gyn because I DO NOT want to get weighed!!! Someone has to knock some sense into me PLEEEEEASE!!!
OK, enough writing... PLEASE VLADA WHEREVER YOU ARE LET US KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND HOW YOU ARE!!! WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU BACK!!!

Hi Guys,
Sorry i have not posted for a while. First of all i want to say to Rebecca that i am so sorry you have to go through that , i can totally relate and of course i am no doctor but i think that you should look into bedrest as well, since i was put on bedrest i have not had any bleeds. I had my US today and i have good news and bad ones. The good news is the baby is growing , the HB is 163, which is good. The bad news is the blood is still there and actually has gotten a little bigger, so i am back on bedrest. I still have horrible nausea in the mornings, today was bad, i threw up 6 times and ended up taking anti nausea pill afterall.
I am glad the rest of you are doing well, thank you so much for thinking of me!!!!
Vlada

Rebecca that sounds so scary. Like the bleeding wouldn't be enough to freak you out you go and faint and fall too. Glad to hear the embies are ok though, you must be relieved.
And Vlada good to hear from you too, my thoughts have been with you hoping you are ok.
Are blood clots quite common, seems there are quite a few girls here with one? What's the cause? Are they really dangerous to the embies?
Wood - we already told my DH's family last week. They were a bit put out that we hadn't even told them we were considering having IVF. And then at the weekend we went and saw my Dad and told him, he was pleased. I've given him strict instructions to not tell the wicked stepmother yet though. He's rubbish at keeping secrets from her, but I hope he keeps this one.
Snow - my progesterone levels haven't been monitored at all. I'm sure they measured everything at the end of the 2WW, but since then they just prescribed me with vaginal progestorone gel once a day. They haven't even had me back for any further HCG readings as they say waiting for the results each time is very sressful. My clinic is Bourn Hall in the UK set up by the pioneer of IVF so I guess they know what they are doing! It sounds like progesterone is one of those things that your body just absorbs/rejects if you have too much like vitamin C, so I'm sure you're fine.
ONE MORE DAY to the first US!! I'm really worried about it - just praying something is there....

hello ladies,
Vlada, so happy to hear that your beancake is still doing well - I am amazed at the strength and determination of our little babies. Keep well rested my dear - it's obvioulsy working so far.
I am doing much better - no bleeding since Sunday morning although I am Mrs Paranoia now. The morning sickness has also eased up a little so it makes me think that it was somehow related. the ironic thing is that the blood clot is still there and the same size so i have no idea where the blood came from. I have another scan on Monday so i hope that the babies continue to grow and the clot continues to stay small.
I guess I'm lucky on the clothes front as haven't put on any weight at this stage - I'm suprised as I have been eating a lot of carbs and not doing any excercise. I guess one morning it will take me by suprise!
How are evryone's hips? Mine have started to kill me from the PIO injections. I have a massive buise on one butt cheek from my dramatic collapse yesterday and the other hip is so tender that it's making sitting hurt. I have another 5 weeks of injections!!!
ok, better go and check my work emails.
Love to you all
Rebecca XXX

OH THANK GOD VLADA!!!! You had me (and many others here) very concerned.... I am glad to hear that your little scoobie is growing just fine...
Hey ever-body!!! How yall doin' taday?!?
I'm in a not-so-good-way myself 
I am SOOOOOOO cranky that I THINK I'm not in a good mood most of the time. I know its hormonal BUT it's just NOT FAIR!!!! This is supposed to be a happy time... It's just painful...If I don't eat, after about 4 hours, I feel lightheaded and get pangs in my tummy but then when I DO eat I feel nauseous immediately following - NO MATTER WHAT I EAT!!! Oh, my - how will I ever get through the next 4 to 6 weeks until this M/S ends???? Oh and WC--- just because you have M/S doesn't mean you can get away with eating much less, the pangs in your belly take care of that one (unless of course you barf a lot - then you ARE eating less )
WC: I did look up Old Navy Maternity and they have some nice stuff (at least it looks like that on-line). I saw the panties (the intimates as they call them) too but I am ok with my regular undies for now. I wear low cuts anyway so my FOUR MONTHS PREGNANT TUMMY doesn't get in the way
Has anybody checked to see who is expecting BFPs? There are a lot of girls out there in the IVF board and its up to us to invite them to join us on our thread because after this week I think they will be into June (is that right?)
OOOOO.... we have an U/S coming up tomorrow!!! and we will get to see if we have another TWIN pregnancy!!! This is all so exciting!!! I just wish I didn't feel like CRAP (but I guess I should consider it all gain in more ways than one )!!!
So, much love to you ladies and LISAPA!!! If you can do up a chart like the one you started a while ago on the other thread about our due dates, U/S dates and any concerns we need to be watching for one another that would be WONDERFUL!!! I have NO ability to recall for some strange reason...
Love,
Cocoa

Oh my gosh ladies SOOO much going on first off Vlad and Rebecca I am so sorry that your are having these bleeds but so glad that the babies are doing well, you deffinatly have some fighters in there. M/S girls I feel aweful and hope that this passes soon as well.
I finally had my U/S today and well girls chalk another one up on that TWIN board! April/May must be the twin months we saw 2 perfect embies both hearts beating at 157 and measuring 7W 2 and 3 D thought I was prepared for this but I think that now I am wondering what the HELL of course I know it will all work out in the end but still a little scared but mostly excited. I am done at the RE's office and go to the OB next week. I do my PIO shots for 2 more weeks can't wait until it's done my body has actually started to push the oil back out after my injection I told my RE today that I didn't need any more I was already on FULL but no such luck. well off to eat something again I will check in later.
