JDC- I have you in my thoughts and good luck for next time.

As of the rest of you ladies who have spotted brown..so have I. I thought
I was dreaming at first because I orgasmed in my sleep and felt a trickle
run down and I totally dismissed it as..well...you know the cum [tmi] and
I wiped with my sheet and went back to into a deeper sleep. When it was
bright enough in my room I saw that on my sheet was bright red blood and brown also so I rushed to wipe and it was brown blood.
I was so afraid that I didn't want to wake my dh up but I called the nurse
on call and she gave me the same story you all were told, but I'm still spotting brown blood, it's like every other day when I wipe though.

Sorry this is so long but I have my second u/s on Monday and I hope I still have twins, I did see one empty sac last time and maybe that one didn't catch up to the other..who know's..I'm scared :cry:

Hi everyone, I wanted to post because of am in the need of some advise. Yesterday I had some bad cramping, but it seems to be gone today. I woke up and my bbs were not as full and not as sore. However they seem to be more tender now. I recall this happening another time about 10 days ago, but then later that day I noticed they were full and tender again. I don't have any other symptoms. No m/s, no nausea..nothing. The only symptom I have is the bb tenderness, and it appears to come and go. Do you think the prometrium is what causes the tenderness? My RE is on vacation and I have to wait until to the 10th for my first US. After reading about so many terrible situations I am even more and more nervous. I just need to hear something. Feeling kind of lost and lonely today.

Emfossum: I’m in the same boat. My only really symptom is extra large, sore breasts, which come and go and extreme bloating which I believe is caused by the progesterone. A few people, myself included, have commented earlier in this thread that it would almost a relief to feel more symptoms. But, I have read multiple places that not everyone gets symptoms and some women have completely healthy pregnancies with no symptoms at all. Personally, I’m really trying to feel lucky about it.

Unless I’m counting wrong, on the date of your U/S you’re just over 5 weeks. I wouldn’t think you’d want to go sooner than that. At 5w5d I only saw sacs, which made me worry a lot. At 6w6d, there were embryos and heartbeats so that was much more comforting.

We’re all full of so much worry. I hope we can settle in a enjoy it – maybe in the second trimester?

My M/S is tapering off too. It was really bad last week and I have some relief now thank goodness. My boob's still hurt but only when I have a good bra on. The tighter they're kept the more sensitive they feel. If I wear a loose bra or none all for when I lounge around. They feel normal.
Any one else have the samething going on?

Hi there, well my boobs are sore again so I am happy. LOL

We are heading out of town today for a long weekend. I am not sure where my dh is taking me. It is our anniversary and he likes to keep it a secret. I ordered a cute little cake from this amazing bakery and bought some sparking cider to toast. All I know is that I should pack some warmer clothes. I assume we are going off to the mountains somewhere because it isn't a very long getaway. We live in Colorado so that makes it easy to go off for a long weekend without hanging in airports. I am in much better spirits than I was on my last post. I seem to get in these really doom and gloom moods and it drives me crazy. Not to mention what it has to do with others around me.

Funny day because we we sitting a breakfast and we hear this very loud strange blowing sound and my dd looks up in shock because a hot air balloon almost landed on our house. It barely missed and landed in the field next door. When we went out to investigate we saw that the sky was filled with balloons, and a few more landed in the field. It was very colorful and all the neighbors came out into the streets to take pics.

Well thinking of all you and hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to give you an update. I went yesterday for my u/s and much to my elatement, we learned we are having TWINS!!!! Both babies had great heartbeats at 120 and were measuring consistent with my dd of 4/27. My dh and I are thrilled to finally add to our family and looking forward to the next 8 months.

I am not sure what happens next as I am still waiting to hear from my RE with the "official" results, but think I need to go for more b/w next week to see if I can start weaning off some of the meds. Yeah!

Have a great weekend Ladies ;o)

JDC: I am so sorry to hear your news. You are in my thoughts as I know all to well how you are feeling right now. I don't know if your RE was able to get you in for a D & C, as they are quickest way to get through this. Neither my RE nor my OBGYN could get me in last week so they both gave me the option of Misoprotol, which you can take by mouth and works rather quickly. Just another option. Take care of yourself, you are a strong woman to have gotten this far and will get through this, tears and all. I know it is difficult to look ahead right now, but hopefully we will be cycle buddies again in a few months.

Hello to everyone else. I have been checking in to see how all of you are doing and glad that most of you are doing well. It gives me hope that I will only be a few months behind you.

:D

JDC - I am sorry (((hugs))). I know its hard to accept and takes time to pick up the pieces. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope God will give you strenght to go thru this difficult journey and I pray for a better outcome for your next cycle. Take this time to have a good rest and heal your body and mind. We are all fighters and don't give up trying as I believe your dream will come true one day.

fullofhope - Congratulations!!! Wow so many twins in this thread. So exciting....have to take care and rest more.

Emfossum, silverangel, siouxie - I was worried all the time espcially if my symptoms suddenly disappeared. Yesterday I found my nausea and gastric suddenly disappeared. Then my breasts seems not as sore as before. Panic...real panic. When I had all the symptoms I seem so miserable coz I can't sleep well or eat well. Now the symptoms gone, I began to panic. Realy dilemma. But good enough, the next morning, I had abit of gastric and nausea. And yes once I wear my bra, my breast begin to sore. What a relief...hahahha....

My next scan will be on 09/18 and if its ok, my RE is going to discharge me and change my status to pregnant.

My next US is tomorrow morning! We will not be released until 12 weeks which will be the first week of October. I then have an appt with my OB. But, since we have trips, we have to see a peri at 10 weeks.

hey there every one. Just wanted to report on how we're doing. After thursday's scare with spotting(which never came back after that first day) we went for our visit at the clinic today and I'm happy to say that both the babies are just fine. They are measuring right on schedual, 8 weeks and 6 days today, and both their heart rates where a strong 174bpm.
But the best of all: WE GOT TO SEE THEM MOVE!!!!!!
It was the most thrilling expirience of my life. The tech started to look at baby B (which I've been worried about more than baby A because he/she is harder to see) and right there in front of our eyes the baby gave us a little wiggle.
I was so shocked and asked the tech if the baby had just moved and she said "Yeah. That was a little twitch."
I asked my husband if he saw it and he had a huge grin on his face.
B kept moving the whole time. It was amazing.
Then she moved to baby A and as she was measuring, that baby gave us a wiggle!!!
I cried histerically for about 5 minutes.
To see my babies moving and showing that they're alive, healthy and thriving is the best form of comfort and reassurance that I could ever ask for. These babies are so realy to me now and I just can't believe how much I love them.
I wish all you ladies the same in your upcomming u/s's and I hope that soon you can all expirience the pure joy and elation that I had today and get to write about it with tears in your eyes like I am now.
