emmy - Wow, congrats on the twins!!

Turtles- I will eventually go to supositories, but I did notice yesterday when I went to refill my PIO that my prescript goes to 10 weeks!!!
So how are you feeling? R u getting your rest? Drinking your milk and eating your fruits & veggies?

Adsgirl- Only 3 more days and you'll be PUPO!!! R U going to best rest at all? Oh My...you are doomed if you are dying to POAS now. Wow, I thought I was bad

Neffi- WOW! What a great beta!!!! I cant wait for your US to find out how many little snuggles you have.

Emmy- OMG!!! CONGRATS!!! Twins are such a blessing, I am so happy for you, you must be over the moon.

Angram- U R getting so close to beta day. How R U feeling?

Well, I have been spot free for almost 2 days!!!! The cramps are very light and minimal, but I can still feel them. I am getting nervous for tomorrow's 2nd beta. I am excited, but scared. I woke up at 3am (that must be my magic time because I keep waking up at that time) feeling nausous. It only lasted about 30 mins, so it was not a big deal. I am SO tired and last night I noticed some freaky looking dark veins on my chest. Scared me!! I starting thinking of the "Vein" bad guy from the Batman movie

Last but not least, I am having some horrible bathroom issues

I eat ALOT of whole grains and water, which is suppose to do the trick, but not so much anymore

Any suggestions?

I am off to crawl under my desk and take a nap

Think anyone would notice?

Hope all is well with everyone!!!

Dakota - I'm so happy to hear the spotting has gone away, I can't imagine how stressful that would be..even if it's normal. I bet your 2nd beta will be great tomorrow, can't wait to hear the number! As for bathroom issues, my RE just suggests an over the counter softener, so you may want to try that and see if it helps. I've been 'going' every day, but constantly have that constipated, crampy, bloated feeling. Goodness, what we will do for our children

My beta is Sunday morning and I'm going absolutely insane! I had a minor meltdown yesterday when I found out I didn't have any frosties, but I'm holding strong for the 2 little beans growing inside and pray they've decided to hang out with their ol' mom for the next 9 months

Ladies - On another board I was on a while ago, the girls talked a lot about "poop paste" to help with constipation...not sure if this will help, but thought I would pass it along:

1 cup of bran, (if not ground, grind up for smoother paste)
1 cup of prune juice
1 cup of applesauce

It becomes a prunie paste. Refrigerate.
Take 1 tablespoon up to 3-4 x a day.

Hope this is helpful...

angram, are you going to poas?

Adsgirl, Bless you!!! I am going to hit the store and check out the sugar content and see if that is something I can do. If not I am going to ask the nurse tomorrow when she calls. I tell ya, I spent an hour in the bathroom yesterday and ended up with a rabbit dropping!!!!

Ooohhh the pressure

Dakota - I'm trying to hold out on POAS'ing, but the closer I get the harder it is

I'm going to do my best to wait until the beta on Sunday, we'll see..

Dakota · Post by **Dakota** » Wed Jun 25, 2008 2:14 pm

angram...you go girl...you can do it!!! My hats off to you by waiting!!!

AdsGirl · Post by **AdsGirl** » Wed Jun 25, 2008 3:25 pm

Apparently a few sundried apricots would also help...

Note: Apparently the paste looks vile but tastes like applesauce. Enjoy!

<b>emmy</b> Congrats on you twins!!!:D:D I bet you are so excited. Hope the next 9 months are smooth sailing for you.

Dakota - I am feeling good. A little crampy. Today is the first day I have worn my prosthetic in 3 days so it is nice to be able to carry something when I move to a different room

I have been drinking my milk, but no fruit or veggies. Hubby was in control of the menu so lots of meat and potatoes

I will take over food today because I miss my fruit and veggies. I will still take it easy but am getting around a little more. Sorry to hear about your bathroom troubles. I still have some softener I was prescribed from my ectopic so I will have something if things start heading that way. Hope things work out for you.

Adgirl - how are you doing? Will you hear anything else on your embies or do they just tell you right before transfer?

Hey there all you ladies,
I was hoping I could join in with this thread?
I have been reading about you all for a month or so, and am so glad that there are BFPs and high Beta no.s going on for a lot of you congrats to all of you!! - hoping to follow up with that soon!!
Adsgirl - I think we're about at the same point time wise, so it'd be great to have an online buddy to share the ride with.

I was on the 2WW thread earlier this month, from a late May ER and transfer. We only got 2 eggs, but they both fertilized (ICSI cos of so few) and put both back, unfortunately BFN. Because of insurance issues, my RE let me do another cycle back to back, short stim, so no BCPs or anything, we started stims a few days after AF came, and now have just had ER today. Not looking forward to the PIO shot tonight, my butt is still sore from the last lot!!

The great news is we got 7 eggs this time!!!

, the nurse figured that cycle no. 1 'primed the pumps!!'
We are now waiting on the phonecall this afternoon to see how many are mature, and then they will ICSI them all - not taking any chances!
Hoping for a 3day ET on the 28th, second time around's going to work, I can feel it....
Best wishes to all!

Well we had our first ultrasound today....there is ONE baby with a heartbeat of 126! WHOOHOO!!! I talked to the dr. about the spotting and she told me not to worry, brown spotting is normal. Whew! I don't have my beta# yet...still waiting for that call! I was so excited that I had to share!

BABY DUST AND HUGS TO EVERYONE!!!!!

Hope all is well with everyone!!!

My OB Dr. recommended Metimucil (1 to 2 tsp in 8- 10 oz water). Start out with just 1 tsp to see how it works for you first. If you do too much right away it can cause bowel cramps (I like the orange powder the best). and colace stool softener (50mg 2x/day). I know you want to get your bowels in order, other wise......can you say hemorhoids? You really should ask your OB what he recommends. Good luck, I hope my input helps
