JANUARY 2009 BABIES

[sameera]

Welcome JenTiff - Yeah, I agree wtih your RE don't worry too much about the symptoms they come and go and then if they stay all 9 months then you would be begging to get rid of them LOL

So be glad you have no symptoms

Jim - Yay, glad to see you - so How's Dri doing?? I'm really happy for you guys!

Yeah, I think I left the cycle board to join the due date board since more and more ppl are going thru same stuff as I am currently - it helps calming your nerves down

Hope everyone else is doing great!! I get to go to my first OB visit oh yeah looking forward to it..

Good Tuesday to all!

Glad to see some familiar names!

Jim- welcome to the board! Glad to hear Dri is doing well...I am 8 weeks today so just 4 days behind yall! My next u/s is wed june 11....I am excited to see my little bean again!

jentiff- this is my 1st pregnancy so I didn't know what to expect. I didn't realize the m/s would be so hard to cope with. I have always been sensitive to my stomach, I get really bad motion sickness. So driving the 35 mile commute to work every morning has been the worst, I actually have to pull over on the interstate sometimes! But in a way, its comforting b/c I know my little bean is still pumping out the hormones.

waiting- I feel you, I am still on 1cc PIO daily, RE said they usually don't start weaning you off until 10 weeks AND they don't release us to our OB until 12 weeks!

jenntiff- My beta was high too and they were looking for 2 sacs, but we had the one...but once I saw that heartbeat, I was perfectly happy with my one bean! My breasts aren't that tender either....they have swelled a little but not tender. I wouldn't worry too much, they say the higher the beta the better! I didn't get m/s until I hit 6 weeks either.

monkey- I know exactly how you feel about being tired. By the end of my work day I am dragging myself from patient to patient! It WILL be worth it!

sameera- how was the OB visit? My OB is a lady and she is so sweet...she did IVF to have her 3rd baby, so she knows exactly what we are going through! good luck!

God Bless!

Hi Ladies!!

I just had my u/s today. I am officially 7 weeks. Had a great heartbeat and our little peanut looked just great. DH and I are so excited. We were told that our due date is January 20th. We are so happy!!! Just wanted to share the news and join y'all so we can experience this together.

[Thechosenone]

hello ladies. I got my bfp about a week ago. my beta is doubling. i have another one tomorrow. every since 4dp5pt i've been having AF cramps and they come and go now. and it is so aggravating and scary. I just want to know if you all experienced that and how long did it last.

thanks

[sameera]

Welcome both TheChosenOne and 4WD2BMom!!!

4WD2BMom - Congrats on pregnancy and 7weeks! hope your pregnancy is very pleasant Keep us posted.

TheChosenOne - Congrats on your BFP too! AF crams are common and those are just the signs that your uterus is getting bigger and streching for your little one.

If you spot or bleed then definitely call doctor otherwise it should be fine.

I know it's scary and what not but try to stay positive - your body is doing what it's suppose to do.

I'm 9w6d pregnant with twins and I do feel cramping on and off so it's common.

Congrats again girls and keep us posted

Sameera

[Thechosenone]

thanks. Yep, I posted earlier last week or so. I'm not spotting at all thank God for that! but I did during my tww. once i got the bfp everything was good. Sometimes it can be a little nervewrecking especially if you haven't seen the bean(s) yet. you know? thanks a lot.

Hi ladies.....glad to see some new names....welcome!

Chelly.....I had my root canal this morning and I feel a bit silly for ever worrying about it. It was a piece of cake, even easier than a regular filling. I'm so excited it was so easy after hearing so many bad stories from people at work. I can spread the news now that roo canals are really no big deal. I say that but my numbness hasn't completely worn off. Ha ha.

I had my first OB appointment on Monday. It went well, we saw our little bean again. It actually reminds me of the cartoon Tweety. It moved its legs and arms a ittle and wriggled around. The heartbeat was 171 bpm, right on target and it measured right for dates. I feel so much more relaxed now it is growing and the everything seems to be going well. I'm looking forward to graduating from the 1st trimester soon and going on vacation to cancun! YAY

[chelly180]

Hi yall!

sameera- we are awaiting your u/s tomorrow to see how your twins are doing!

nikki- see, everyone is so scared of root canals....but if you go to the right person they are not that bad! I am glad to hear the procedure went well and that your baby is fine!

chosenone & 4w2bmom- welcome to the thread! I am so excited to more and more people are joining.

as for me, I am offically off estrogen patches, I go for b/w tomorrow for them to check my levels but my next u/s isn't until next wednesday. I am 8 weeks now, I don't think I am showing yet, but I have noticed its getting harder and harder to "suck" in my belly to look skinny. I haven't had any more spotting since Monday thankfully.
FYI for any of yall in Texas- throw out all your raw tomatoes and products b/c there is an outbreak of salmonella related to tomatoes.

God Bless!

[w8ingformiracles]

SDtrying: YAY! Best day ever.

Sameera: Have fun seeing the babies tomorrow. I get to see mine on the 9th. I think there are two others with U/S on that day.

Just checking in to say hello. Nothing new going on here. My tummy is sticking out more everyday, I think I am bloated too. My rings still fit though so I am happy about that. My homescale went way up today, so I am going to have to be good until my appointment. lol

Hope you are all having a great day.

[sameera]

SD - So happy for you! isn't it amazing to see the little heart flutter

W8ing - Before you know it 9th would be and you would be telling all about your lil ones cannot wait to hear how your pregnancy is moving along!!

As far as belly sticking - mine is sticking out a little bit too but then again I have been eating ALOT more too!! Lol

Nikki - thanks - i cannot wait to see my babies tomorrow! hope my OB appt goes well - how long is the first appt usually??

I wasn't really sure if doc was gonna do the u/s but either way I was gonna request her to check to make sure everything is fine.

Chelly - Yay! Estrogen patches - I hope your b/w goes well tomorrow.
