AUG/SEPT BUDDIES!

[to_have_fun08]

Turtles - I love seeing your little bean. I am so happy for all of you.

Renee - Good luck today with your second beta. Keeping my fingers crossed that those numbers rise.

Val - I am glad you are eating so much, that is defiantly a good sign. So I was just thinking the other day that your little one was measuring at 6w2d. Isn't the when the heartbeat starts to show? So your RE was having trouble finding he heartbeat at first and then low and behold there it is. Wouldn't it be cool to think that the heart starting beating right then. I know this little guy is sticking and next time you will be able to see that he/she has caught up. Wishing you the best of luck on your next U/S.

Sueqiwi - Congrats on being PUPO. Wishing you the best of luck. When is your beta?


For me, AF arrived the other day, now I am wanting her to go away as quick as possible. I started BCP's today and then will start Lupron on the 24th for my next cycle. YEAH!!!!

Hope everyone else is doing good.

Hello beautiful ones, how is everyone doing today?

I missed you all, I have been very busy as class (MBA) have started again. Update on my cycle, saw RE yesterday, we will do a new protocol without suppression as soon as AF starts and the day two FSH is normal not great and then 5 days into it we might start using any Antigonistic medication to suppression ovulation. Anyone went through this protocol?

Stefy: how are you doing today my dear? I hope you are doing great and looking forward to what tomorrow holds.

Val: Fear not and hang in there, the babies are growing inside. Positive thinking is all that yoou need at this point.

Chris: Hey girl, I missed you, thank God AF arrived for you, I am waiting patiently to AF to start my new cycle and new protocol. When is your next cycle starting?

Turtles: You are blooming dear, and I am so happy for all of you pg sisters. Keeping looking forward for healthy babies.

Toobee: I know the medication worked on your nausua, try not to depend on it and walk aroung a little bit to get some fresh air from time to time.

I have to run now to a meeting, I love all of you dearly and take care of yourselves and may God bless you all.

Chris~ Thanks for the encouraging words. Yes, maybe the heartbeat had just started but it doesn't explain why it was so small. The beta would indicate otherwise. Maybe baby is hiding, maybe I have a tilted uterus and we can't see as much. But RE has not talked about that.
I'm so glad that you're already back on the BCPs and starting the lupron in a couple weeks. So happy for you! Keep your PMA, girl and keep believing it is your time...I know it will be!!
I'll sure keep checking on you and I know you are going to check on us! You've been so great!!

Stefanie~ I knew about the lunch meat and the very few times that I ate it, I warmed it in the pan. Not so nice. I can't stomach it anymore. As for the mayo, I only eat the one at home and avoid anything with mayo if we eat out. I seem to eat a bit of everything, although I find myself not wanting certain foods for some reason. Doesn't make me nauseous, I just don't want it. I follow what my body says. I think that's a pretty good list you have there.

Catch you all later! Enjoy your day!

Valerie- If you have a tilted uterus it may cause the baby to measure behind. My RE told me there is also a margin of error when measuring the babies on an early u/s. I would feel worried too, but try to keep the PMA up. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. My DH and I are going to Boston for a few days, our anniv is next week. Then I am going to NY for a friends wedding.

I have to go to the dentist today. I am due for xrays but that will have to wait until next time.

Hope you are all having a good day.

Hey Ladies
Just wanted to pop in and say hello and send everyone some babydust.
As far as food goes..I pretty much shyed away from all food Stepahnie mentioned with the additions of: I load up on fiber rich cereal in mornings, eat hormone free and pesticide free meats and dairy, Stay away from artificial sweetners of all kinds, stay away from processed white foods such as white bread, rice, etc. Brown rice, and whole grain bread I feel are better choices for carbs such as those.

Right now I am trying to figure out how to get my energy back. I think I eat really helathy and should be feeling great. I think its just another symptom of the babies growing and taking my energy to do what they need to. My nausea is much better, but belive it or not I still feel it through the meds but its much more managable. I guess I was really sick there for awhile.....cause there is a stark contrast. I go i for another u/s tommorrow. I think everything will be fine mostly although I cnat help but wonder of my one little bean with the small sac decided to catch up or fall back further

Anyway..not much to report.....just wanted to pop in and say hello! Sorry no personals but I am definltly not all there these days.

Drink as many beers as you need ................

[valerie68]

Renee~ I am so very sorry it didn't work out for you. I was really hopeful that your beta would increase.
I've enjoyed having you on this board a lot and will find you on the Dec board and cheer you on. When I had my chemical, I was really bummed but so happy that I actually got pregnant.
Keep believing that the next time is your time. I know that you will.
All I can give you are some ((((((big hugs)))))).

I'll catch up later but I have to get some orchids ready for our orchid show this weekend.

Much love to all.

Renee~Big hug for you. I am so sorry it didn't work this time. I was really hopng for you and am very sad about your news. I am glad to hear that you are not giving up. I have faith that Rocco will get his baby brother/sister very soon. Be good to yourself. It makes me sad that your DH has already left--i hope you have some good girlfriends with you to share those beers.
