Kelly- I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I will keep your family in my prayers. Hopefully this is being caught at an early stage and she will be just fine. I can't wait until tomorrow. I'm trying to remain positive, it's just so hard.

Loopie- I'm going to look into some different prenatal vitamins. Thanks for letting me know.

gecko- I stop my PIO at 10 weeks. And I am completely off my estrogen patches :D those were the worst!!!

Rio- Don't worry yourself about your second IVF. I agree with MIa. Enjoy this pregnancy. And don't worry about your age in two years. Look at all the women here that are over 39 and preggers!!! I hear you on the germs! I am the biggest germ-a-phobe! LOL. I couldn't imagine working in a public place. I would be doing the exact same thing as you. Lysol, Hand sanatizer, the works. You'll be fine. I guess the first trimester we worry about m/c. The second trimester, we enjoy. And the third, we just wish for the delivery. Crazy, huh?

My mom is making the trip with me tomorrow. 1:30 can't be here soon enough. I think I will bring my computer and update you all on the drive home. When she's driving obviously. Please say an extra prayer for my 2 beans. Thanks!!

waitingforMia - I fall asleep really early but then I'm up peeing all night long and I have a hard time falling back asleep. I'm exhausted but I think that I'm a bundle of nerves too just thinking about what's going on in there!

Hopefully you'll be back to catchin' your zzzz's SOON!

Hello girls. I hope everyone is doing well today. Let me see if I can catch up on the personals. If I miss you I'm sorry and I hope that I can catch up next time.

Weezie Good luck tomorrow. I hope you get to see some really nice heartbeats.

KellyM I'm sorry about your grandmother. I hope that everything turns out okay. What a bummer to have such a joyous occasion overshadowed by such bad news. Good luck to you and your family. No, I didn't get to stop the PIOs, I was just saying "yeah" to Rio, she get's to stop HERS. Unfortunately I have to keep it up because of the clot.

Riogirl I know what you mean about flu germs. I had the flu right when I got the BFP. That was a very scarey time. I just canceled a Tupperware party that I was supposed to have tomorrow night because a lot of the women that were going to come are either coming down with the flu or just getting over it. Just wash your hands a lot and keep up with the lysol. M/C or no, the last thing you want is to get sick when you are already dealing with mood swings, MS, bloating, etc... the flu is just miserable.

Loopie I also think that those extra embies that don't implant are just absorbed and they shouldn't cause bleeding, they are so tiny. Sorry to hear about your cough, I hope you get better soon.

Aculpulco Good luck on your U/S tomorrow. Can't wait to hear the results.

Gecko No hair dye?? I was really suprised to hear that. I get my hair hilighted every 6 weeks. I have done it forever. Is hair dye different than hilights? Does it touch your scalp? Maybe I can continue with mine because hilights don't touch the scalp. I think that gray can look very sophisticated on women. If you have a nice haircut you can look quite sharp.

Sugabeanz It's so nice that you got to see your beans again. Two different heart rates huh? Sure sounds like a boy and a girl. Can't wait to find out for sure. How far along do we have to be before the sex is evident?

Wishuluck How are you doing today?? Did you call your RE? I have been thinking about you. Hope you are doing well.

Tammy Have you met with the Dr. yet? Do they think it might be asthma? Hope you are doing okay.

Again, sorry if I missed anyone.

Mia: Thank goodness someone else is having insomnia! I am exhausted and cranky yet still can not go to sleep early. When I first found out I could sleep all the darn time and now...not so much! We need some help! haha. Get some rest tonight!

Rio: I dont know if I congratulated you or not yet but YAY! (bad memory now haha)

KellyM: I will add your grandma to my prayer list. Hope everything turns out how the good Lord intends...I feel for you and your family.

Girls, I apologize for no personals but I am so tired and have to write a paper that is due tomorrow and I have procrastinated all I can! I love you all and wish the best for you all esp the newly founds!

Ok I had spotting today...the doctor said I would because of the pap but I still hated it! Only lasted one wipe but still! I dont need my nerves shook like that. Also, I think I am getting more and more symptoms as the days go on...I am starting to get sick a lot more and just not feel well. No vomiting yet which I am thankful but just dog not feeling well. I have started HATING people lol. I just want to be left alone and be by myself! I get so irritated so fast which is not good as a preschool teacher! I want to rip the heads off my kids! lol.

20 weeks is when most ppl find out the sex...we shall see how many boys and girls out there!

Suga- you make me laugh. Wanting to rip the heads off of your preschoolers!!! I hate everyone as well (present company not included, of course). But DH, my family, MY NEIGHBORS...all of 'em drive me NUTS.

Katie- good for you! Glad that you are going out and spreading the good news!!!

Acapulco/Mia- I don't have trouble falling asleep. I just wake up between 2 and 3 and that's it for me. I'm up. Having a fruit smoothie. Then at about 6 I fall back asleep for a couple of hours!

Rio- I'm only 5w2d so I doubt they will see heartbeats. That would be great though. I'd really like it if we did see 2 with no ectopic and then I could cancel my appointment for next Tuesday. We will see :D I guess that's wishing for a lot. I suppose I will just settle for 2 pregnancies in the uterus.

Well, I'm going to shower up and try and get some rest before tomorrow. This wait is killing me

Hi ladies,

WaitingMia - Yes. I have insomina. Last night was the worst.

Hoekey - I called the RE office and I will go for my first u/s tomorrow instead of waiting until Friday. The nurse assured me that bleeding/spotting does happen with some pregnancy. (great I'm one of them). I'm extremely exhausted - I have insomina like Waiting. I didn't work today and decided to take the remainder of the week off. - I NEED TO GET SOME SLEEP.

Funny for the day......
My Dh has always been somewhat sadistic about giving my PIO. He just enjoys it too much. So rewind to last night. He is finished giving me the shot and when he was recapping the needle, he stabbed his finger! I wanted to drop to the floor laughing (my turn to be sadistic :twisted: ), but I could see the fear on his face. He starts babbling about how the needle was in my muscle. Once I explained to him it wasn't a big deal, he switched gears to being worried it had a drop of hormones on it. So I couldn't help but play it up. I told him that he might grow boobs over night and I could possibly milk him in the morning! Ladies I haven't laughed so hard in weeks. I think I laughed for about 10 minutes!!! I even woke up this morning fondling his chest.

Well, I gotta run and get ready for my trip. Hopefully both beans are right where they should be. Otherwise, I will opt to have the surgery today :cry: But, I'm keeping PMA!!!!!!! 2 BEANS- IN THE UTERUS :D

Hoekey - I HATE when that happens! I do it all the time and it is frustrating. We know we are in your thoughts though so don't worry....How are you feeling. Are you taking it easy? My doctor is very conservative and so perhaps that's why she said no hair dye. She also said no manicures or pedicures. I LOVE pedicures so I was bummed, but it is for a good cause.

Acapulco GOOD LUCK TODAY!! This is such an exciting day for you to be able to see you little pumpkin! Let us now as soon as you can!

Weezie - LOL!!!! Great DH story! I hope your really played it up and got him nervous! Good luck today with your u/s. I am thinking postitive thoughts for you and your little beanies.

WaitingforMia - Yep - insomina is alive and well in our house. I am so tired by 8:30 in the evening that I fall asleep with no problem, but then I wake at 4am and can't go back to sleep. Besides that, I have to get up to pee at least 3-4 times per night. I heard it gets better after week 12. I sure hope so!

Suga- Sorry about the spotting. I know your doctor said it was all normal, but it is still scary.

KatieG - Was dinner with your friend fun? I have had a ball telling people I am pregnant!

Rio - How are you doing today?

So I have has less nausea the last few days - yea ginger- but my cramping has been worse. I know there is nothing wrong because I was cramping all day before my u/s and all was normal. I think things are just stretching and growing in there. It is a little disconcerting though to feel those cramps all the time. They do get better when I sit and put my feet up. Makes me a little afraid to go back to the gym, but I have been told exercise is good for both of us. I also feel like my tummy has popped out as of yesterday. My waist is still ok, but I have a little pooch under my belly button. Anyone else?

Take care everyone and have a great Thursday!

Good Morning MTB!!!

Weezie - best of luck today. I can't wait to hear how it goes and am sure that those beanies are snuggling in where they are supposed to be!

Acapulco - have fun at your u/s. A very exciting time!!!

Wish - great that your u/s is sooner than expected. Have a great appointment today! I am sure all is well and that you'll have some fun news to share later today!

Suga - you are hilarious! I can imagine your kids are wondering what happened to their happy, easy-going teacher! Oh well, they'll adjust!

Katie - have fun spreading the news. I am getting together with my close group of friends on March 6th which is when I am going to share the news. I can hardly wait!!!

Mia - while I have no problem falling asleep, I am like Weezie and when I wake up for pee #2 at around 3:00 I am up. It is driving me nuts! I am so tired that yesterday I went home for lunch and slept for 1/2 hour. I sure felt better afterwards. Thankfully we are only 10 mins from home.

Tammy - how did your appointment go? Did the doctor's give you some insight into what is going on?

Gecko - I have cramps every once in a while but not as frequently as before. Lucky you to be weaned off your meds. I am on them full force until week 12 which feels like forever from now!

Thinking of everyone else and hope that you are doing okay!

I am getting kind of worried because my boobs aren't sore or very big. I wish my u/s was earlier because now I am getting paranoid - I wonder if/when I feel 100% comfortable with this pregnancy. Okay, the other thing is that I freaked myself up by reading the triple trouble board. One lady commented on her beta numbers and mine at 18dp5dt was much higher than hers (and she is pregnant with triplets). My goodness, is it possible? I had completely convinced myself that we were going to have twins and now I wonder whether triplets are possible. I guess I won't know until next Wed.

Anyway, I should calm down and get to work. No update on my grandma yet but I sure hope they figure it out quickly! Thanks for all your prays and well-wishes.

Have a fantastic day!

Hi Ladies,

Sorry its been a while since I posted. I am usually on at work and don't have time to do personals. I know i am going to miss a bunch...sorry in advance.

Wish- My younger sister had a baby at 19 and didn't think she was pg for 6 months because she had bled every month.

Kelly- Sorry about your grandmother. I will keep her in my prayers.

To all of you other ladies...Congrats on your twins!!! Congrats on all of those heartbeats!!!

Still have another week before I get my ultrasound. In the morning, I am always worried. My new worry is that my boobs aren't as sore as they once was and that I'm not getting up to pee as much as I once was. I think once I see the heartbeat....maybe I can relax. Anybody else freak out of the lack of symptoms sometimes? I keep telling myself that I don't need to worry until I have something to worry about.
