Hello all!
Kellym: I too have the headaches and they suck. Every day at like 12-2 I get a headache and it gets worse until I go to bed. I am going to ask my dr. about it next week at my appt. cause I hate taking meds even if it is tylenol.
Sassy: I am taking classes and doing a part time internship to become fully certified to teach. I only have my temporary lic. so I am doing this to get fully certified. I am ready for it to be over! April 18!!! Can not wait! Classes till 9PM at night is exhausting!
Gecko: I was told I could stop at 8 weeks with the meds by my fertility specialist but then the first OB I went to said I should stay on them for the pregnancy? So I am going to ask this OB. I came off of them (sometimes stick a 200mg up me at night if I think about it). So who knows if I am doing good or bad. We shall see
So 11 weeks today! Woohoo! Next week I get to see the little ones again and the husband gets to see them for the first time which will be fun!! I still am getting the horrible headaches EVERY day! Like clockwork. I am def asking my OB about it cause I can not take much more of it. I just keep telling myself that I am pregnant and blessed with it but...yeah. I went and got a pedicure today which was nice! I already have a sandle tan (live in Florida) so it is kinda funny looking cause my tennis shoes just are not comfortable any more.
Okay, are a lot of us younger women in here under 35? I am 23 (almost 24 in May) and am curious just because why are there so many young women with infertility? (Just out of curiosity).

Suga: I am 28, but have been ttc for 8 years. We had unexplained IF. I always hated not having a reason. Everything they checked was "perfect." There could be a lot of explanations - environmental changes, steroids and hormones added to our meats... who knows!
loopie: Yeah I have no idea what I am supposed to ask. I really want to be in control of the birth so I need to get my thoughts together. I delivered my 2 lil brothers at home and always thought I would have a home delivery... that was before I spent 20k to get pg!!
Sassy: Stay strong girl with the doc!!! I would not do a reduction either, but I am sure there will be pressure for you to. Praying for you!
Rio: Yeah I dont know what the ob will suggest testing wise - but I plan on not doing any. My work schedule is very "easy" so I get lots of naps in! Ugh sorry you are having asthma probs!! Woo hoo a bday next week - what do you have planned??
I had a yucky day today - just felt icky and tired. Happy though cuz I had felt great for the last 2 wks - and it was a nice reminder that the bean is still there! Ooh battery is running out. gotta go!

Riogirl - We decided to do the nuchal and the quad test, too. We will do the cvs if our results aren't good. It's a hard decision but probably the first of many we'll make as moms 
Sorry your asthma's bothering you. I know what a lousy feeling that is. I hope your doc can give you some relief.
Sugabeanz - Sorry about the headaches. Hope you feel better soon!
Geckogirl - Congrats on getting to stop meds! I know how you feel. It was so nice to finally stop the suppositories. I was always afraid of forgetting them and my RE made me lay flat for 30 min after each one (3x day) so it really got in the way of stuff.
Kel - Hope you had fun at the gym and that the scale was kind to you!
Mia - We've only told my parents and brother (who knew we were doing IVF). My husband's from Switzerland so we're planning a trip to Switzerland in May to tell his parents. Like you said, it's hard not telling anyone. But, on the other hand, it's kind of nice having it to ourselves. Since the conception was such a "team effort" it's kind of nice to have this happy news not be public for a little while.
Sassy - Glad to hear you're feeling well. I can see how your family would have trouble keeping such big news a secret.
Loopie - The circus? That sounds fun! I was in Baltimore on business a few months ago. Very pretty near the water.
All is well with us. I had my first appt with the obgyn and an ultrasound and our LO is doing just fine. I'm actually shopping around a bit for a doc I like since I don't have a relationship with one already. I meet my second doc next week. I kind of feel like I'm going on a series of very warped blind dates. I meet then, try to figure them out, get a sense of their personalities, then I have to make a decision about whether or not I want to see them again
I see doc #3 in May!

Hi Ladies. I am soo happy to read that you are doing good. You know what i was thinking, Im sure modt of us in the very early stages like 4,5 and 6 weeks were so nervous of having a m/s. I know the % of having one is les than 15%, and that most perople go on to birth healthy babies. but becus of the situation we are in we ovr analyze everything! anyway I was rereading our post from day 1, and i added all the girls up and then divided by the "admitted miscarriages" and i am happy to report it was lest than 6%! I am so proud of you guys!
Sassy- When you get a chance upload those u/s pics up, im sure we would all love to see what a quint u/s loks likes being as though most to none of us will ever be as strong of a woman as you! RUNT, make your mommy proud!
Sugabeenz, Im 27 and been trying to conceive for 6 years... My last doc told me there is no wasy with my crappy eggs i will get pregnant, by day 5 all my eggs arrested I had 17! anyway on day 6, i got a call saying one made it and I am 10 weeks preggo tomorrow! my re told me becuz of this he has change policy at his clicnic to allow all embryos to culture to day 6! they call my the miracle pregnacny. Me. I just think my doc overstimmed me and just crucified all my eggs! i was on 450 gonal, and on my last ivf at another clinic i was on 75 units and none of my eggs arrested... Go figure.....
Riogirl- Is it safe to do a nuchal? I am thinking of askingmy doc for one today, i have a u/s, my last before my ob....
Also, i have had ms since 7 weeks and now at 10 weeks its worse, i get it from 430 am( my urine run) and it last all day and comes back witha vengence just before dinner. I can eat a meal today and tomroow if i think about it, im like how did i eat that? Everday its a challenge! I take my GMAT this weekend and I am scared on what type of day I will have!.
I get headaches only after i been thrwoing up. When im on the subway heading to work i keep skittles in my pocket to subside the nuasea, how embarrasing would it be to throw up on the subway! I am so tired all the time, no matter what time i go to bed i feel like i had no sleep! I am so grumpy and agrivated... I have to catch myself and say " i dont want to be this person"... I am trying to enjoy this but think i will be much better off in my 2nd trimester.... I cant imaine 9 months of this! nausea, constiaption, headache, not wanting sex and fatigue! OMG..PLease ladies tell me im not alone...
O one more thing, is there a way we cans tart uploading our u//s photos! Im thinking since our little ones are complete by now we can shoul upload them!
Talk to you soon!

Hi girls, hope this finds you all well.
Well, I have officially started to freak out. My u/s is 4 more days away and I am SO worried that there isn't going to be a heartbeat. Without any bloodwork or tests for 2 weeks, there's no reassurance that I'm still pregnant! And I know you all went through this too, but how in the world did you make it?!?! I still have very few symptoms...all of which I find excuses for. Sore boobs...I blame on the PIO shots. Fatigue, I blame on being so inactive. Although I am not nauseaus, I am finding myself having a hard time deciding what sounds good when I'm hungry. I blame that on not having any food in the house because I am too tired to go to the store. I suppose all of these things could be signs of pregnancy, but I have this stupid knack for coming up with other reasons for them. I may just be certifiable.
And man, the next 4 days are going to be long ones. DH went to work yesterday morning and won't be home until Sunday. So I have 4 nights in the house alone with nothing to do but obsess and watch the time S-L-O-W-L-Y tick by. I finally mustered up enough energy to do one stinkin' load of laundry, but didn't manage to get out of the dryer yet. 
And I swear I leave footprints on my hardwood floors when I walk around the house because they are so dusty and I am too darn tired to vaccum or mop them. I get up at 5 to go to work in the morning and get home at about 5. Then sleep for about 2 hours. Then watch Idol or Dancing or Survivor...then it's right back to bed. And I swear I've gained about 15 lbs. Not pregnancy lbs...just eating crap all the time lbs. I guess I better start watching it or I'm going to be the size of a house!
Ok - I am sorry for venting. I guess I'm just a little lonely...
My rant is done...now I'll go back and catch up on everyone. Thanks for "listening"...

Corny-
You're not alone sweetie. After the time before last when they were stupid and couldn't find my baby until they sent me to another machine, I was in a total state of panic when had the one on Monday, 10 days later. I just knew there wasn't going to be a h/b or something. We have got to let go of these fears because they aren't good for us.... but it's much easier said that done. I feel for you so much because I know what your going through.
I am ready just to be done with all these tests and just sit back and enjoy my pg. It just seems like there's always another test or hurdle to worry about. I feel like I by going through all these u/s and tests, am looking for something to be wrong. The odds are with you now that we are getting further and further along.
Imagine this....with my dd that I had 18 years ago, I had ONE u/s the entire pg. I never worried.....
I will post more personals later...got to get back to work

Personals in a little
Rio - Thanks for setting up a site for us! How cool! I hope that I can post some pics soon.
cinci - I know just how you feel about all the test etc.... I am ready to just be done with it so I can sit back and enjoy!
corny - You are venting to the right people! We have all felt just like you do (and still do sometimes). You will be ok. Where did your DH go? Is he often gone? My DH is a firefighter and lives at the station for half the week when on his shift, so I know what it is like to be left alone. But you have us!
Katie - Have a wonderful time visiting family this weekend. It is so good to be able to get away and just relax.
Mbre - Interesting statistics. I had wondered about that myself and I guess the 5% rule is true. Sadly...... I am right there with you and the m/s. Mine has become a lot worse over the last two weeks. It starts mid-morning and doesn't quit until I go to bed. Added to that are excruitiating headaches that started yesterday. My doctor said they could be from stopping my meds and the hormone fluctuation that would cause. I think it is also from pollen. The air here is just laden with pollen. Yuck!
Mellie - Good luck with the doc shopping. I think it is really important that you have a doctor you like. And they sure are hard to find!
Today was my first ob appointment and all went well. The only bummer is that I absolutely love my ob and we found out today that she is pregnant herself and will be on maternity leave from April - August, so I will have to see her colleague for the next few months. She will be back in time for my last trimester though.
The u/s showed our baby measuring at 11w1d and had a heartbeat of 160 which is right on track. We actually saw his/her legs and arms and eye sockets too. Looked a bit alien, but was very cool. We also discussed genetic screening and I had assumed that I would do the nuchal + bloodwork but my timeframe is very limited (it would need to be done next week or early the week after). Also, if it showed a risk that needed to be confirmed by an amnio, we would have to wait 3-4 weeks for the amnio and I didn't want to potentially have to worry that long, so we opted for the second trimester quad screen at 15 weeks instead. Then if there is a problem, I can get the amnio right away. My doctor didn't think there would be a problem and said that I could not do any of the tests if I didn't want to because the age of my egg donor (23). I am really glad because now I can just sit back and relax.
I don't see the doctor again until April 28th! I can't believe she is letting me go 5 weeks before being seen again, but she assured me that my pregnancy was proceeding normally. I will also have a detailed u/s on May 12 which should show the sex! I am really excited!
I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I am going to try to rest and close my eyes and try to kick this brutal headache....

Gecko - My DH is a firefighter too! Yay! And I travel out of state about 20 or so weeks out of the year, so unfortunately we spend a lot of time apart. I am used to it for sure, but with my first u/s on the horizon and me so anxious, this is not the best time for me to be alone. If only I could go to bed tonight and not wake up til Monday...
Rio - I saw you made that photobucket site. What a great idea! I still have to go back and read up on everyone. I guess I can put that on my list of things to do tonight...since I know I won't want to clean or do any laundry.
