Hopeful and Angram - I am so so happy for you both! Hopeful - seeing those arms and legs...that's just wild! I would have been balling, too! DH and I keep checking our bean(s?) progress in my mayo clinic pregnancy book. It has drawing of what your baby looks like at every week...it's crazy. This week, ours is/are getting a mouth and arm/leg buds. Looks kind of like a baby alien dinosaur...but that's ok! Angram - sorry to hear one stopped growing, but it's very exciting that you saw the other heart beat! Was it emotional for you? I just know I will be in awe when my U/S finally comes.

I am so so thrilled for both of you! What a marvelous hump day!

Hello everyone! you ladies crack me up! Congrats to everyone on on BFP and awesome betas and U/S. I transfered 1 embryo on monday 7/14. So I am offically PUPO and in the dreaded 2WW. Feels different from last time. I am on PIO and Suppositories(sp). I have awful itching and lumps. and I need to buy stock in panty liner companies. I find that when I'm late (i try to do every 8 hours since its 3x a day) I get cramps until I put a new one in? WEIRD

Wow, I'm so glad to hear about the ultrasounds from today.

Congrats Hoping, how wonderful to be able to see the arms and legs and head!! Thats so cool to see the picture, thanks for attaching that! It must be wonderful, and now when you look at your belly you can really see whats growing! When do you go again?

Angram - you must be so very relieved now. Sorry to hear that you lost one baby, but how reassuring and wonderful to see the heartbeat (early!) on the other baby. Congrats to you. Has DH jumped you already?!!

Dakota - yes, two weeks today, and I am with you in the loonie asylum already! I am so wondering about everything. My boobs didnt; feel so sore this am, and I havent been nauseous all day really, but still cramping. Oh man, I don't know how I'm going to make it two whole weeks with no medical interventions!!! Waiting to hear about ur ultrasound....

Prawnster - glad to hear you are doing alright, and hope that all goes well on Monday. Keep up the great nookie!

Babygurl - is it the progesterone suppositories as well as PIO?, or estrogen? Congrats on being PUPO!!! I'll be wishing time by with you.

babygurlsolages · Post by **babygurlsolages** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:56 pm

progesterone suppositories. I start estogen pills tomorrow along with baby aspirin.

Dakota · Post by **Dakota** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 10:00 pm

Angram- I am so happy that you got to see a heartbeat and everything is good with baby. On the other hand I was so sad to read that you lost one baby, it broke my heart. When do you go back?

HopefulIL- That is just AWESOME!!! Thanks for posting a picture!!!

My u/s went great! Baby A has 146 BPM and baby B is 158 BPM. Baby B was flipping around!!!! It was the total oppisite as last week. Last week baby A was moving and was bigger and "hanging out", while baby B was hiding and smaller. This week baby B is bigger and was very active while baby A is smaller and shy. I was nervous that baby A fell behind, but they ashired me that it is normal and ok because I started to freak out. I got to hear their heartbeats and man, music to the ears, the best sound in the world!!!!

I dont go back until 9 1/2 weeks (how am I going to survive 2 weeks????) then at that time I will be released to my OB. He actually wants to have my OB apt that week, or no later than 10 weeks. I am on shots for 4 more days, then every other day for a week and I start supositories in a few days. uuuhhh! I'll deal with it.

I am so happy things went well, I was just a nervous wreck!! Thank the good lord!!

Hope all is well with everyone!!

Oh that's just great news Dakota!! So happy for you that you heard both heartbeats again, and got to see number 2 baby moving around!
Patience girl! I'm with you on not being able to wait for the next 2 weeks. Wow, by then you'll only have another few weeks and then here comes the 2nd trimester already!

angram · Post by **angram** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:19 pm

Dakota - Awesome heartbeats on your little beans, that is terrific!! I go back for my 2nd u/s in 1 1/2 weeks, so on 7/28. Yes, this wait is also going to kill me!!

Jude - DH hasn't jumped me yet, but has hinted at it

Are any of you totally afraid of having the big O or is it just me??

babygurlsolages - Congratulations on your transfer, you're officially PUPO!!

MzTia - It's so good to hear from you, how are things?

AdsGirl - I am so obsessed with looking at how our little bean is progressing every day, but it seems that all books have the same info

I keep reading and searching though, as if someone will have somthing new for me to read..I'm totally crazy. Seeing the heartbeat was so incredibly emotional for me. DH had his arms around me as she did the u/s and tears started streaming as soon as she turned up the volume and I heard that magical heartbeat for the first time. As soon as she left the room I start bawling, I was so overwhelmed. I can't wait for you to go, it is absolutely the best day so far.

Hopeful - Thanks for sharing your pics, it is so incredible. What a difference a few weeks can make! The RE we saw today didn't give us a picture of our little one, which I didn't think much of as I was busy crying, but then I went to the front desk and asked for a copy. They said she didn't print me any, and I was like WTF! So I told them I wanted one of theirs, so they took one of the 3 and gave it to me. I mean, who in the hell wouldn't want a picture of this little miracle. Not to mention the time and money we've put into this, I want to sleep with it every night

IMBlessed · Post by **IMBlessed** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 1:38 am

Wow ladies, lots of good news today.

Babygurl - It's great that you're back in the game and already PUPO! Congrats....now take it easy.

Angram - I also had 2 sacs (out of 3 transferred embies), but only one successfully growing baby. My other one apparently stopped growing as well, but I'm so thankful for the one that I have. Although the other embie didn't make it, it's good to know that you have one that's growing strong.

Hopeful - Awesome pics! I know you were excited!

Today, I had my first OB appt, however, it was a waste of time. Apparently, I was inadvertently given the wrong kind of appt. The appt I was scheduled for are for those women who have not had an official pregnancy test. Since, I already had mine, I should've been scheduled for an OB intake appt, where they sit down and go over everything under the sun regarding my pregnancy and medical background. So, I've been rescheduled for Aug 11th. In the meantime, my OB wants me to have another ultrasound done just to make sure everything is alright from the bleeding I had several weeks ago. That's scheduled for Jul 31st. I'll get the 'real' ultrasound this time.....no more vaginal. I'm looking forward to seeing my little bean again.....especially now that it's a fetus and looks more human. I just want to know that everything is alright.

Have a good night ladies.

Angram/Asdgirl- What books are you guys reading?? I go to the library tonight to pick up the books I have on order and was going to look into getting mroe or ordering more.

Jude- Yes, I find myself checking everything!! It so bad that now my bb's are not sore, but I squeeze them so much to see if they are coming back I am making them sore. Geeze....

Angram- yes I would have pitched a fit if they didnt give me any pics. I didnt like the tech so much I had yesterday. I only got two pics and my first u/s I got a whole book full. Also, she didnt note on the pics the sizes or anything, so I dont remember what their size was, just what the day their sizes came back at. With all the excitement and hearing the heartbeats, your brain goes out the window. I am surprised I remembered their BPM, because of course, it was not noted on the pics.

So, my apt got all rescheduled. I called my OB to schedule my first apt and gave them a little back ground (because they have me down in a few weeks for my pap) and they like to do their own u/s between 9-10 weeks, we'll that is when I am scheduled for my last with the RE. So I called the RE's office back, so they are going to have my last visit & u/s for next week (8.5 weeks) and I will call the OB's office back to make my apt with them for between 9-10 weeks. It all works out in the end that way I can see the babies every week until 9-10 weeks.

Hope everyone is feeling well and is good.

Imblessed - that sucks re your OB appointment being messed up, but at least you get to discuss everything properly when you have it. Thats great too that you have got past the internal ultrasound! Now you get to really feeling like a pregnant mummy like on TV!

Dakota - that works out pretty well then? You end up with more chances to see your bean. Maybe your impatient thought waves made that happen somehow!!

Babygurl, hope you are resting well.

Angram - the big 'O' happened a couple of times since the ET (

), although the only time that me and DH did the deed since we got the go ahead, I was so scared that there was no way that was going to happen!

Ads and Angram - I have been searching google every day for pics of what the bean would look like at each stage. When I get on line first for the day, I get excited as I can add a day and search!!

Hope everyone's doing okay

angram · Post by **angram** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 3:44 am

Jude - I haven't had a big O since right before ER and I'm so scared to now

I know it's got to be perfectly fine, but it just took us so long to get here.

Dakota - I've been reading What To Expect, but I just don't think it has enough info on the day to day activities

I went to the bookstore and just flipped through a few others, but they're all basically the same.

IMBlessed - It is wonderful to know we have one beautiful bean growing, we are truly blessed. I'm so used to the "wand" ultrasound, but it will be nice moving on to the real deal. I'm not sure if my RE uses any other kind, since their u/s machines are usually for stimming, etc and they're not an OB. I'm good either way, just want to see my beautiful bean again

Not much new here, just sick as ever! I seem to do good during the day, lunch is my best meal, but I feel like total sh*t at night. We ate a little dinner tonight and I immediately need to lay down I'm so nauseous. I'm drinking a ginger ale as I type, which helps a bit, but now I'll be in the bathroom all night long

Anyhoo, just a small price to pay for this little miracle.

Angram - Just a suggestion for the nausea....I know Babies R Us carries them....PREGGY POPS. They help take the edge off. Also Walgreens has 7-up popcicles. They also help somewhat. I hope you are feeling better soon! I'm almost in my 11th week and it's beginning to subside. Just keep in mind it's all worth it!

As for the big "O" ... my RE will not allow it until I'm in my 2nd trimester. ALTHOUGH....we did on our anniversary....and I was reprimanded 2 days later.

Nothing like being an adult and being told "no". She did tell us that if it happened again we had to be very careful and if I cramped afterwards we needed to hold off longer. So listen to your body...if its too much you'll know!
Also check with your dr. and see if they have the ability to record your ultrasounds on disk or tape. If not DEMAND pictures!

Dakota - I actually signed up on www.babycenter.com . It's not the best site but it gives me more information than the What to expect book.

Jude7702 - I have weekly appointments. My dr. is awesome! I will be sad to leave her in 2 weeks and move onto my OB. I will have 1 more ultrasound with my first dr . then the following week another with the OB. I'll have a book of pics by the time this is all over!

My levels today came back...My beta is 55,460 and prog. is 32.4 Is anyone else have fluctuations with their progesterone? My dr. says I'm still in the "safe" zone and not to worry. But I can't help but worry since it jumps every week. It's anywhere between 24 - 39. I was also told my betas will start dropping soon because I'm reaching my 12 week mark. Has anyone heard of this?[/b]

Dakota · Post by **Dakota** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 12:22 pm

Angram- I get REALLY bad cramps after the big O. The only reason I knwo this is because I have dreams once or twice a week that result in that. Its very dispurbing for me, freaks me out!! I havent been released for sex yet, I am guessing 10-12 weeks. Although with these suppies, they make me really sore, I would want to.
I picked up some books at the library and I couldnt get throught hem. I was so overwelmed that I actually have these books and I cried, so of course I couldnt see to read so I just stopped. I just kept thinking "wow, 8 years and I actually get to read these books". It was very emotional for me.
Sorry you're ill.

HopefulIL- I signed up for babycenter yesterday!!

Jude, ya the apt seem to work out in the end.

I am not feeling well this morning. I am SO tired. My sick dog had me up from 11:30-3:30 in the morning. Once I got her to sleep my other dog is constipated so he was pacing and panting. I was in tears!! I sent DH a message this morning that he ows me BIG TIME (he's on his annual 2 week fishing trip with his brothers). Then, after no sleep I get out of bed this morning and I have no hot water. I am annoyed to tears this morning. Uk!!

Sorry to piss and moan. Hope everyone is doing well.
