hi all you wonderful mommies to be!

Acapulco- yep, mia's right that is a lot of betas- but nice that you get to keep up with how your body is changing so often!

rio- i wish i was losing weight- anything i seem to be shaving off the belly from ovary bloat seems to be going right to my boobs!

gecho- i can't wait to hear how your US goes tomorrow!!

weezie- my RE said that we should do an US the week of the 24th, so I picked the 27th - guess i should have gone a bit sooner, don't know what I was thinking!!!! ah well- suspense!

i'm so tired- by 3pm, i am in need of a nap, other than that - all's well!

Loopie: My official u/s is the 27th also!! Sweet. We are buddies again! I have been napping around 3 also.

Gecko: I cant wait to hear how your u/s goes tomorrow. That sucks that DH cant go with you!

Rio: I cant wait to hear how many little ones you have. Tomorrow is gonna drag for sure.

Acapulco: Sorry you are soo nauseous.

Weezie: I am praying everything is okay. I have a good feeling you will be just fine! My thighs are so sore now, too.

Hoekey: That is awesome! 1 perfect heartbeat! Sorry about the blood clot. Take it easy!

Jomae: Didnt you transfer just one? Maybe it split naturally!! Bananas are making my stomach turn all of a sudden. LOL

Mia: I hear that it is normal to sometimes lose a little in the beginning.

Suga: How did the u/s go?

Moonk: Good Luck tomorrow!

Katie: How are you feeling? The drain came out today, right?

Hopin and Andnichole: Congrats on twins again!

Kelly: I have been having lots of early symtoms too. Oh the joy! LOL

I am doing okay. Still a little short of breath. I am going to go see a heart specialist tomorrow...to make sure there isnt some underlying problem. I am sure it is nothing serious...and just due to bloating or meds or something dumb. I will let you ladies know more tomorrow. I have had all the early pregnancy symtoms.....except m/s!! Knock on wood!

Weezie im soo sorry about all you are going through. We are praying for you. Try to stay calm I know its hard to do that but hopefully the week will go by fast.

I got my drain out today. It feels good to be out. The only downside is it leaks where that hole is. Its gross and stinky. But it should stop after tomorrow or so. I also saw my beans heart beat. Im really excited. Last friday we couldn't but they said sometime this week we should be able to. I go back Thursday for another US.

How's everyone else? Tammy better safe then sorry. Good thing you are getting checked out.

Suga---Congrats on the twins. Wow how life changes in an instant for us all.

Have a wonderful week. Im going back to work tomorrow. Dont want to i'm spoiled right now being home. But i need to work until Oct.

Tammy - ask about asthma, I heard hormones can trigger it, I have asthma and it goes back and forth, my allergist said the hormones would make it better or worse and that many women experience it while preggers...
Katie- glad you are feeling better! so excited for you!
Moonk- good luck tomorrow!

Katie/andnichole/suga/hopin/weezie - Please send me some twins dust for tomorrow!!!! :D :D [/b]

Well I think today is another big day!!

Suga - congrats on the twins!! I think it is so cute that your mom was jumping up and down - that is exactly how my mom will react when we tell her how many there are.

Hoekey - congrats on hearing your heartbeat! will you find out the sex or keep it a surprise?

Tammy - best of luck with your appointment. Rio's point about the asthma sounds pretty accurate. I know a number of women who when pregnant had asthma.

Katie - boy, you have been through so much already. I sure hope the rest of your pregnancy is an easy go for you! Glad that you have the drain out and should be feeling better soon!

Moonk/Rio/Geckogirl - best of luck today! Can't wait to hear the results of your u/s.

Weezie - I am sure that it is just tissue and not another beanie in there!! I am thinking of you! Hang in there and I'll be hoping for a speedy Tues and Wed for you.

Loopie and Tammy - I too am on the 27th so it is going to be a big day for us! I can't wait!!

Mia - I don't have a scale at home but I think I am losing weight too because I have no interest in eating. The thought of food in general makes my stomach turn.

Jomae - my beta at 11dp5dt was 597. I won't know how many there are until I get my u/s on the 27th! I am now curious whether you're embie split! I haven't hear of that often but I was told it is possible especially with blasts! Did you do a 3 day or 5 day transfer?

Not much new with me. I am still feeling lousy, and super tired but that seems to be the norm for me now! I am looking forward to my u/s next Wed - I hope the days fly by!

I sure hope that I haven't missed anyone!!! Have a fantastic day!

Loopie- are you mad woman? LOL! You must love suspense. I would have picked the first appointment of the day for the 24th!

Suga- I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!!
Image

Tammy- good luck at your appointment. I will be praying the everything goes well. :D


Rio- SUPER MEGA TWIN BABY DUST!!!!!!!

you west coast gals are killing me. You need to schedule your appointments early so we aren't here waiting in suspense all day!!!!

Geckogirl/Moonk- can't wait to hear how it went today!

Katie- the hole sounds horrible. It's just another temporary unpleasant part of pregnancy. But, I'm glad that you are better.

Acapulco- Sorry the nausea is so bad. I hope it passes soon.

Mia- glad someone here is losing weight. Pass some of that my way! I have gained 8lbs. during this whole cycle so far.

Okay, so I called my nurse yesterday to see if it would be safe for me to make my trip to Houston a 1 day trip (7 hours roundtrip). She told me as long as I walked around every 2 hours I would be fine. I hate staying in hotels. Then I finally broke down and started crying to her. She told me that I did have one sac in the uterus and they just couldn't tell where the other sac was attached. The sacs were sooo small and everything else was so big. My pain could be my bowels, ovaries, or a number of things. They just want to be cautious. She compared Thursdays u/s to wearing a seatbelt everytime you get in a car. Just as a precaution. She said it is very rare that one attach in the uterus and one in the tube. But they did see one case like that last year. So "IF" that is what we are sadly looking at, then we will have to remove the tubal pregnancy in order to save the one in the uterus. I'm praying so hard that both my babies are where they should be.

rio- GOOD LUCK TODAY!!! I am really nervous. I know that everything is fine, but am still afraid that something will go wrong. I guess that is something we all deal with. Where on the west coast are you? I am on the SF peninsula.

weezie - Stay strong! I have faith that all will be well.

Sugabeanz - Congrats on twinnies! How exciting!

Tammy - I hope all goes well with the heart specialist today. Keep us posted.

Moonk- Good luck today. When is your appointment?

Hoekey - I hope you are feeling a bit calmer today. I know you are worried but try to stay focused. I am sure that clot will resolve and all will be well.

Katie - I hope you are feeling much better soon!

Take care today! I will post when I can this evening.

Oh the wait is killing me! 6 hours to go!!!

Gecko- we are practically neighbors! I am in the MRY peninsula! I am sending healthy vibes your way!!! Isn't the day dragging by? I am getting nervous also but it is important we keep our PMA about it!
Weezie- I hope the two sacs are in your uterus. Everything gets so swollen and they are so tiny still I am sure that they are just being cautious. Sending healthy vibes your way!!! Thanks for the twins dust! Make sure you lie back a little during your trip so it is easier on your tummy.
Loopie- I got the same thing! I walk in a fog and DH won't let me drive, I forget everything and it takes me 10 times as long to get something "brainy" done! I read it is completely normal!
Katie - hope you are doing ok and also that your pregnancy is an easy one!
Kelly - I hope this week flies by so you can get your u/s, I am exhausted too - seems to be going around!!! :wink:
Tammy - let us know what RE says, good luck!

Rio: Can't wait to hear the double news :)

loopie: Well now you can blame it on the lil' beans!!

Gecko: Try not to worry - just enjoy tis time :)

Weezie: what does the pain feel like?? When I get cramps I get them kinda is my left ovary area. I have been thinking it is still the ovary repairing itself. I read you can have cramps there a month after ER. Also don't your beta numbers have to be real low?? Or is that later?? I know that will be a nerve wracking drive!!! Praying everythign goes well!! Let us know.

Katie: ugh work. I need to find one I am only working part-time right now :) which I love but need some more money to save for baby!!

Tammy: Yeah I hope it is just asthma or something they can treat easily.

Suga: YEAH TWINSIES!!!!

It is 11 am and I just now getting my lazy butt out of bed. I have a lot to do today so off I go!! :)

Good Morning ladies!!

Riogirl71, Geckogirl, & Moonk I cannot wait to hear the results of your U/Ss. Good luck to you. Those of you hoping for twins (I think everyone is) I wish you the best!!

Sugabeanz. WOW, Congratulations, twins. I really wanted twins too, but it wasn't in the cards for me. I am just thrilled to have been able to see that heartbeat yesterday. One of us had to have a singleton, or the odds would be way off :lol: . I don't mind being the oddball out as long I am still BFP!!

Katie I am glad you got your drain out, you are now on the way to hopefully a very uneventful pregnancy.

Weezie you are in my prayers that all is well with both your little beans.

Tammys how did your appointment go?? Is it asthma? It seems to foot the bill. I am praying for you that is all that it is and can be easily controlled.

Kellym We will be finding out the sex. I kinda wanted to wait for the suprise, but DH says no way. He wants at least three months to let it sink in if it happens to be another girl :lol: . He really wants a boy, of course he will love either but I have two girls already from a previous marriage. I really think he needs another man around the house.

Mia I didn't gain any weight at the beginning, but didn't loose any either. I have however gained about three pounds in the last week. I swear it is all in my boobs. My pants don't fit any different really, I just think that I am afraid that I am squishing that little bean so I am more aware of the areas that are more snug than others. Also if I'm feeling any nausea the pressure makes it worse. I wish I were losing some weight.

Thanks for all the congrats girls, I still am very nervous about this clot. I haven't been able to find any information on it. So, I don't know how much worry is realistic, so of course I am thinking the worst. I'm sorry if I missed a few of you girls. I haven't really posted much these last couple days so I am falling behind on everyone's good news and info. Wishing you all the best.

Kildean- OMG!!!! Twinkies for sure! What a great beta!!! You must be on top of the world.
Image

Hoekey- hey "oddball". I did see something on clots today and I thought of you. Damn. I can't remember the site. If I think of it, I will send you a message.


Rio/Gecko/Moonk- Can you guys hurry up already????
Image

Mia- it was just a sharp pain that comes and goes. And since it was on one side and not both, they decided to do that u/s last Saturday. The high betas are only inductive of twins, not necessarily where they are. But, you are right, later my HCG would drop because I couldn't carry a tubal pregnancy and eventually my body would expel the bean and could potentially harm the normal pregnancy. BUt I am going to keep the PMA. I keep telling myself both my beans are snug in my uterus!

I don't have M/S yet. But my eating schedule is soo wierd. I wake up EVERY morning at 3a (STARVING) and stay in bed till about 3:30 and when I can't take it any more, I head downstairs for a fruit smoothie or a pb&j with a huge glass of milk. Then I snack on a fig waffle at about 9a and eat lunch at 11;30. After that, I'm done for the day. I don't want to see food for the rest of the day. Do any of you have a metalliac taste in your mouth? I hate it. And I don't know who mentioned not being able to remember things, but I'm right there with you. I feel like these babies are sucking my brains away!

Well, I hope all you mommies are having a wonderful day!!!!
