P.S. While cycling, I went to an acupuncturist weekly. But, I hadn’t been since before the retrieval. To be safe, I figured that I should start going again, at least for the first trimester. So I went Saturday. She didn’t want to give me treatment because she said my pulse was too strong and didn’t feel pregnant. It made me worry all weekend. So, I guess I will not go back.

Kim14: I'm in that boat with you. I'm queasy ALL THE TIME!! The actual nausea and feeling like I'm gonna vomit comes and goes but I'm allways queasy. And for some reason, I feel it more after I eat. I find I'm only able to finish half of what I was able to before because the fuller my belly the worst it is. It has never been as bad as it was today, I've been so miserable all day. I'm sitting in front of the computer with my only savior right now. My 16 oz bottle of gingerale. Give it a try.

I know it sounds silly but I am envious of those of you with all these symptoms. I just have sore boobies and that is pretty much it. I didn't get sick with my DD many years ago, but how common would that be to not get sick again. I am going in the the 10th for my 1st US, and I am just praying that everything is okay. I hate thinking that maybe I should be feeling something. I had insomnia during the 2ww and some heartburn, but now I can sleep pretty well. When did everyone's symptoms begin or change. Was it in your 6th week or earlier?

Hello Mommies to be! How is everyone doing? Emfossum, I somewhat feel like you and ask where are the symptoms. My DH said I have had mood swings, and my breast are still tender... Other than that, that has been about it for me. I guess it's a mind thing to just want to feel something to ensure you things are going fine. Good Bless you ladies that are dealing with ms right now, I hope it gets better soon.

As for me, I have my 6wk4d scan this afternoon. I am both anxious and scared, as for the last scan there was just the sacs and yolks. I am prayerful that heartbeats will be found today. My drive is 2 hours, so I am hoping things go well and I am released because the drive is putting both a physical and financial strain on me. Has any other ladies been released from your RE? If so when, if not have they told you a date?

TrueBeliever: My RE said that they releasing me after my next appointment which is this tuesday. I will be 9 weeks to the day.

jenniferdp: The saw my twins heartbeats at 7 weeks and they where 124 and 139 and they said that was just fine. The tech told me anywhere between 110 and 180 is perfect.

Hi everyone

I hope you and all the bumps are keeping well!

Siousie - I would run a mile from that ap person. What a thing to say as if it isn't such an anxious time.

Hommy,Kim14,Silverangle679 - hope you are all ok with the m/s. I had very bad m/s with my dd and I found that sipping ginger ale during the day was great and also eating a salty cracker before getting out of bed in the morning.

Emfossum, Sweetmomi - I am with you sympton wise. I am very tired, bloated breast, bit of heartburn and I suppose not really interested in food that much but I don't have the m/s that I had with my dd - mind you that started around the 8 week mark and I am 8 weeks today.

Truebeliever - all the best with your scan today.

Kimmysq - thinking of you today and I hope your scan goes great.

As for me, I am going in for another scan tomorrow because I have been having a bit of pain on my lhs for the past day. Nothing too severe, just a stitch like pain but my doctor wants to take a look at it. This will be my 3rd scan (6,7 and 8 weeks).......pg all with be ok.

Thanks for your responses and support. I feel better knowing that this is pretty typical.

Truebeliever- I can't wait to hear about when you were able to hear the hb today. Bummer about the long drive. Hopefully they will release you soon. I have to wait a whole extra week for my US because my RE is on vacation.

joyanna- Sorry about your painful stiches. I have been getting strange muscles pulls since the transfer, but they are completely random. I sneezed the other day and thought for sure I did something terrible inside. From what it sounds like this is normal ligaments stretching and moving.

siousie - Sorry your ap person was so insensitive. The ridiculous things some people say.

I am so excited for you all hearing your babies heartbeats!!! That has to be just wonderful.

Have a great day.

our heartbeats varied at 6w4d. I believe they were 124, 126, and 131.

Jenniferdp: Mine were 118 and 126 at 6w6d. He said that was fine.

Emfossum: I can relate. There is a yearning to feel sick - even if it’s bad - just to know things are okay. My own symptoms are very mild, for which I should be grateful, but I can’t help feeling nervous. In general, I do have an iron stomach. Someone told me yesterday that your pregnancy symptoms are often much like your mother’s, so I need to ask my mother how it was for her.

TrueBeliever: Good luck!

I have one more scan scheduled with RE on 9/11 (8w1d) and I suspect that will be it. I think I’m really only having that one since my regular doctor has been out the last two scans and I’ve had another doctor. It’s starting to overlap w/ my OB since my first appointments there are 9/9 and 9/24.

I'm worried now... everyone FHB's were higher than my Angels at 6 weeks and now at 7 weeks... I just hope an dpray that 118 is good at 7 weeks.

jenniferdp: Don't worry. According to this site:
"A normal heartbeat at 6-7 weeks would be 90-110 beats per minute."
