Coco OMG...I did the same thing this morning, I peed on a first repsonse stick and it was lighter than yesterday so I was freaking out. In reality, though, it doesn't mean too much since every test has slightly different sensitivity or different amounts of dye...even from the same box. Also, how concentrated or diluted your urine is affects the result. So, I guess we sit and wait. Its easy to freak out.
I feel like crap today. I had a horrible experience yesterday. I had developed a hemarroid that had thrombosed (a clot developed inside it outside the body). The pain was so intense I went to a walk-in clinic and they LANCED IT! Words cannot explain the pain, I cried like a baby, how embarassing. I had a low grade fever so on my way home I bought a new ear thermometer. Now I'm more freaked out becasue the new thermometer keeps telling me I have fever of 100.5-101.5. I read that a fever of 103 can harm the fetus. I also have no idea why I have a fever, I don't feel obviously sick.....except nausea I'm going to call my nurse in case I should be on antibiotics or something.

Nikki - congrats on your second beta - when is your Ultrasound scheduled?
Coco - How are you feeling? how are things moving a long?
Baobao - Hope you are feeling good too?
I am feeling fine just extremely bloated and aparently that's just normal to look like you are 6 months pregnant - even if you are only 4 weeks along LOL ..
I hate gatorade and was wondering if you guys know any other drinks that might have electrolytes??

Sam....I'm glad I'm not the only one who already looks pregnant. I gained so much weight doing the first cycle during the stimming last November and kept most of it, so now I look big. The nice thing is, I don't feel like I have to suck in my belly all the time, I'm just letting it hang loose.
Our first ultrasound is May 14th, just 2 weeks away, looking forward to it but trying not wish away the prenancy too quickly, this will be my last pregnancy.

Hi Ladies, I just want to say congrats. It is alwasy good to hear good news. I just made 16 weeks today and I still remember like it was yesterday my first + hpt. I never been prego before and it was truley amazing, I dont think i was happier than that day, beside graduating college( 1st in my family) ofcourse on my due date when i get to finally have my little one. I want to wish everyone of you much success ain a wonderful pregnancy. It goes by so fast. I cant believe i iwll be in my 5th month next week! but i am not showing as much as i like, they say with ur first baby it takes time. In the begining i was showing so much becuz of bloating so i looked 5 months at 8 weeks but now bloating has subsiding and i have a nice lil round belly....
Ladies I am part of the octobermommies2be. I hope one of you ladies start a Dec Mommies 2 be so i can follow you guys story.. OMG you guys are going to have CHRISTMAS babies what a blessing.... Ladies take it easy and remember that until week 14 is when u need to take it easy as the baby is at his most critical moments and suseptical to miscarrriage.....
I am so thrilled for all you ladies. In my mind i really wish we could start a club and meet once a week to talk face to face and meet all you wonderful people.
Nikki - my Ultrasound is scheduled for May 14th as well!!! yay we both will find out same day
Yes, this is my last pregnancy as well - I don't think my endo can be handle any longer.
Oh btw I went to target yesterday got me some maternity clothes since I obviously cannot fit in any of my normal nice fitting clothes!!
Coco - I'm so sorry to hear your news but glad to hear that you will be trying soon again - good luck
Mbre - congrats on your 5 months - time just flies and it's so amazing I would like to follow everyone and know how their pregnancy is progressing as well

Sameera....good for you, getting maternity clothes is a real statement of faith. I also have some but have only worn a couple of the pants that don't hang off me....oh and maternity bras because my boobs were hanging over my regular bras like big mushrooms tops - not attractive. I also bought a few bigger t-shirts because my belly isn't big enough for maternity shirts but doesn't look good in my usual fitted little T's. This is my 2nd baby so I'm hoping my belly pops out quite early. Its funny how some pregnant women acn't wait to look pregnant....I'm definitely one of them. My DH and I are going to take side profile belly photos once a month on the 1st of every month....so today will be the first. I think it will be cool to compare month to month.
I don't know about you but I can't wait until May 14th. I'll be so happy just to see 1 healthy looking baby heartbeat.....2 would be a double blessing. Your numbers are high (if i remember right) maybe you have twins!

You girls don't have it as rough as we men do. This whole thing may interfere with the NFL playoffs later this season!
