MAY/JUNE CYCLE BUDDIES!!

[angram]

Dakota - I'm guessing it's normal, or atleast hoping so, that some of the symptoms come and go. I'm not nearly as sick today as I was yesterday, but I got almost 8.5 hours sleep and only had to pee 2x between 1AM and 9:30AM I haven't slept in that late in quite some time and it was wonderful!!! I think that totally helped the m/s, as I've read a few times now that exhaustion is a major factor. My boobs are also not as sore as they've been, but they do hurt a bit when I lay on my side. I'm guessing we're gonna be total freaks for the next 8 months, reading into everything, ya think?

[Dakota]

Angram- WOW 8.5 hrs of sleep!! That is great!!!! I would love that!!! I didnt make it through the movie at the drive in last night. I SO tried. I ended going in the car and laying down in the back seat and was out, slept the whole time. DH couldnt understand how I could being the radio was BLARING so he could hear the movie outside the car. It was so loud that my whole body was vibrating, but I didnt care, I was zonked!! My stomach is a little queezy this morning, but I think that has to do with the bean burritos I had for breakfast. Hey, thats what I wanted and they were really good!!

Jude- I've noticed in the last few days my nose senses are on major over drive. They picked up at about 4-5 weeks, but just this last few days they have sky rocketed.

Adsgirl- checking up on you

[angram]

Dakota - Where do you live that they have drive-ins? We went as kids and I loved it, but there are no longer any drive-ins in TX that I'm aware of, at least none near Austin. Totally understand not makig it through a movie. DH wanted to start one last night at 10:30 and I said sure, if you don't mind me sleeping through most of it So we ended up just laying in bed talking until 1AM instead, my eyes were totally glazzing over from exhaustion Mmm, a bean burrito sounds delish! I was craving breakfast tacos last night for dinner, so that's we what we had. As usual, I'm starving again and not much around for lunch...guess I'll go scrounge the fridge for something.

[Dakota]

Angram- We live in a suburb of Atlanta, GA. There is one in Atlanta, but DH does not like it. Too many city kids and its huge and crowded, so we go to one where we have to drive over an hour to get to, but its in the middle of no where and we like it. Go to www.drive-ins.com and put in your zip and it will tell you where to closet one is to you. They are great!!! I grew up going to one all the time.

Sorry for the delay, ladies! I was out with the DH when we got the call and I haven't been home until now! Beta's up to 1387!!! Yippee!! We are so excited. We're going to call tomorrow to get the U/S scheduled...for 7/25. I can't wait! Plus, it's the day before DH's birthday...what a great way to kick off his birthday weekend!

Feeling just a little "off" lately...definitely not the food effects that some of you are having...in fact, I feel less inclined to eat than I did before I was prego. Nothing ever sounds very good...but I'm eating anyway! Just very tired still. All of my PIO shots have been going on the left side for most of the last week, and finally my right side is starting to feel a bit better. Thanks to all of you who suggested the heat after the shot...I do think that's helping a bit!

Anyway - we are so excited about our 1387...DH said "babies in the hizzle" after we heard the result. It was quite funny!

Thanks for checking in on me, ladies...so happy to be able to provide a very positive report today!

[jude7702]

Wow!!!!!! Adsgirl that's wonderful!!!! I am confused though! I thought it would be tomorrow! My brain is already being sucked up by this!

Congratulations!

[AdsGirl]

Jude - It is a lot to keep track of everyone, I know!! My betas were Tuesday, Thursday and now Sunday. All looking good, so we are excited...even makes up for having to wake up early on a Sunday to get stuck twice by my least favorite nurse! Can't wait to hear your second results tomorrow...Your numbers are going to be sky-high! Good luck!

[angram]

AdsGirl - Awesome 3rd beta and the u/s will be a great birthday gift for DH!! I haven't had one item of food that sounded good to me, until today at the store. I was having such a hard time buying anything, since all meat sounds disgusting and nothing else was looking that good...until...the yummy brownie bites in the deli section started calling my name I'm really trying my best to eat healthy snacks (vegi's and fruits) and sweets haven't tasted good at all, but I totally had to give in today.

Dakota - Thanks for the link, I had no idea there was one just an hour away! We grew up going to the drive-in as well, but we for some reason went to all of the horror scary movies. My goodness, I wonder sometimes how I turned out so normal with my parents

[IMBlessed]

Hey ladies! I've been trying to keep up with recent posts....checking about every other day, but I've been too tired to post anything. All I want to do when I come home from work is sleep. LOL

Jude - Congrats!!! It's great to see this thread end with a BFP!

I know many of you ladies have moved on to other threads. I hope all is going well for everyone. For those having a tough time, HANG IN THERE!!!

[Dakota]

Adsgirl- Whoohooo!!!! What a great #!!! I cant wait for your u/s.

Angram- I hear ya. Meat sounds so discusting to me right now. I think about the only meat I've eaten is chicken strips. I've been eating ALOT of BLT's, then I got on a bean buritto kick. I've been trying to get my protein from milk, cottage cheese and yogurt. Of course the beans has protein among other things

imblessed, glad to hear all is well.

I came through the PIO myself like a champ!! i'm doing it on my own under DH's is supervison until he leaves. That way I know that I am doing it right. The only thing I had a problem doing was pulling up on it to see if I hit a vein, it was too thick to do so with one hand.

Jude- Cant wait to hear your next #'s, they are going to be really high I can feel it.

I cant wait for Wed, and I know Angram feels the same way!!

Have a nice evening ya'll, I am off to bed early.

Man we did good, the May/June thread!

Jude, when is your next beta? Is it today or tomorow?

[jude7702]

Mmmm, brownie bites!

Okay, so my second and final beta (unless I cave and request another one) is in!

2349!!!!!!!

Holy sh*t!!!! Now I'm really wondering how many are cooking! My nurse figured she'd be surprised if it was just one.....I am so excited. I was panicking like nobody's business that it would have gone down or only up a little bit today - this is amazing! And, she says I am DONE with the PIO!!!! Yay. Now I go onto prometrium suppositories 3x a day (nice) (but not painful, ahhh).
We also set up the ultrasound, they like it at 7 weeks, so on the 30th July it is.
I am still cramping a fair bit on and off - is anyone else getting that?

Thanks for the list Adsgirl - that's a lot of organizing. Now just one more wait and then U/S!!
Thanks for the congrats Imblessed - hope you get to catch up on sleep!
Dakota - good job on the PIO shots! You are amazing for managing to do that. Well done!
Angram - I'm with you on the overanalysing completely! I keep having to squeeze my boobs to check they're still sore if I don't feel queasy or crampy!!

Wow - I can't believe my beta number!!!!!!!

[Dakota]

Holy Sh*t it right Jude!!! What DPO did you are both beta's? I am guessing twins, well...how many did you transfer again?

Oh my, I cant wait to find out on the 30th, how in the world are you going to make it???

Yea, I do the whole squeezing of the boobs and everything. Unfortunatley as of yesterday the swollen bb's and soreness is gone, tahts got me freaked out beyond belief. How do women go 9 months without having to be admitted into an asylum??? I am worried about everything!!! I guess that comes with the teritory!

Anyway, congrats!!!

[hopefulinillinois]

I love reading this message board! I laugh every time at some of the postings knowing that I'm not the only one freaking out about his entire experience! And yes I squeeze the bb's too just to make sure! With all of the cramping and some spotting I was never too sure it is really true! The soreness comes and goes with the "girls" but the numbers say it all! CONGRATULATIONS to everyone! Thanks for making me laugh everyday during the craziness they call pregnancy!
