Wishing 4 Good to hear from you, and sory you have been feeling so bad lately... I have only had the sickness feelings for a few days now but it is getting worse..... I cant imagine losing weight thought, you must have been really bad, you poor thing!!!! Still, at least the worst should be behind you now and i hope you get to really enjoy the next part of your pregnancy and enjoy catching up on all that eating!!!!!

To Have Fun I also find it hard to get focused at times and the boards do suck you in..... usually i am a serial poster, but other times i just feel like reading and nothing else. We all do what we want when we want on these boards, and we are all here when someone needs us :wink: I guess my advice would be to try and study right now because when your cycle starts again you will be in the IVF frame of mind and it will be hard to concentrate on anything other than getting PG.

Wonderce thats great that you can hear your little heartbeat anytime you like!! That must give you great peace of mind... I cannot cannot believe how far along you are now!!!! I forget that this has been an epic thread - long may it continue!!!

Yeah NY4thtry! That's a great number of follies and the lining sounds nice and thick. I am so hoping this is your time. You are off to a great start! Any potential ER dates mentioned yet? I know it's still early.

berning, congratulations on twins!! so exciting.

as for me, i'm officially 2nd trimester now. and my OB sees no reason why my hematoma will cause me a miscarriage. heard the h/b by doppler today. had an exam, and my cervix is good.

so, baby room here i come!!

love to all. karen

HI Ladies:

Let me first say NY I am so thrilled you have all those follies, I know in my heart that this is your time too!!! I will as always keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a wonderful cycle.

Bernings, Congrats on your little beans. I am so excited for you. I hope you have a wonderful uneventful pregnancy and you get to have many U/S to see those babies grow.

Karen, Woo HOO 2nd trimester I am glad everything is good now and you can enjoy your pregnancy. I am right behind you. I went for my Nucal screen yesterday and saw all 3 of my girls, they are strong and growing and the tech said their neck measurements looked fine but of couse we have to wait for the results from the lab. However I am sure they are all fine. The U/S pics were so clear and amazing you were able to see all 3 of them so clear.

I hope everyone else is doing wonderful and feeling great. Much baby dust

So I have joined the brown bleeding club. I have had very dark yellow mucous like stuff which is now brown. A lot of it in fact, like the beginning of my period. And also small brown clots.

I am VERY freaked out. I am cramping some just to freak me out more. I am heading for an ultrasound now and I need some good thoughts sent my way that the baby is still ok!

Lynnie I am thinking about you.... There are a few of us brown bleeding and sometimes i have some small clots, or some kind of tissue... its always scary but i am always told to rest up, drink plenty and the RE is never concerned (i call in for this all the time) so i know you must be really anxious.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get to see a healthy little bean on the u/s XXX

hey lynnie, hang in there. the spotting can be part of a healthy pregnancy, and the cramping can just be a result of the spotting (NOT indicative of m/c).

elida- congrats on your continued healthy pregnancy!

so my spotting is almost gone. FINALLY. maybe it will come back, who knows. but minimal spotting for 4days now. my FIL is here helping us finish our basement (or to start it- it's a big project). i'm so grateful for his help, but i need to get out of host-mode and get some rest, i'm tired and am finally on my days off.

Kas, I went Monday as planned and had a listen to the heartbeat. It's always so reassuring. It turns out that the nurse is good friends with a bunch of my other friends, and she was adament that I come in everyday if I like. I don't know that I'll go in that much but good to know the option is there! You feeling okay?

Berning, congratulations on having twins! That's wonderful news.

Karen, enjoy starting on your nursery. I think I feel okay to start now too. I just officially told my first big group of friends and co-workers today and boy word gets around fast! There were people I didn't even have on the email that were coming by all day. Needless to say, I've hardly gotten any work done. And now I'm on this board! Glad you are in your 2nd trimester and feeling more at ease.

NY4thtry, keep us posted on when you trigger.

MuchHope, good to hear from you and so glad that your nuchal testing went well. I am also still waiting on more b/w and results from the lab. Hopefully you are getting plenty of rest these days.

Lynnie, sorry you started having the bleeding. It sounds like Kas and Karen among others have been there and everything was just fine. I'm sure your u/s will just confirm that all is well.
