JG - they told me I can take either colace or ducasate sodium. Those are both safe during pregnancy. My poor hubbie tried to get me what I needed but came home with Dulcolax which we aren't supposed to take apparently. He tried so hard though. :-) So I'm off to the drugstore at lunch time. I just took 2 extra strength tylenol for the cramps since they said I could do that as well. Oh, and she said warm prune juice (gross) or eat some frozen concentrate apple juice.

AFM, it's really kicking in this week. The tiredness is hitting me big time. And as for the morning sickness, nothing yet, but just feel a little off all of the time. And my back is killing me! Ugh.

Hi Faith,

How exciting! Congratulations. See, even with those betas it can be three, one can never tell. That is great, although I have to say I would be in shock also :)

Thx ladies, Im sso happy to be over here with you guys.

Faith: OMG That is awesome and what a surprise.

Cheryl: I did lillypie but how do I put it on here. I followed directions but its not working.

JG_379: Congrats on your twins. It feels so good being pregnant. I get morning sickness but my breast are so sore and im tired all day and packed on a few pounds :cry: I think it may be the progesterone. But its all worth it.

To fill you ladies in a little more. We had 2 embryos implanted last mth and today when we saw the baby and the heartbeat, the other sac was about the same size but no baby inside. The RE said the baby stopped growing and will eventually just disappear. I hope the growing of that sac doesnt interfere with the healthy baby. either way im very happy I have 1 healthy baby and a strong heartbeat. He/she held on tight.

Glad to see so much activity on this board! And great to read about everyone's increasing beta's and u/s results.

AFM, nothing new to report. I haven't been on because I've been trying not to think about it, not to get my hopes up. Just waiting for Thursday to roll around. I swear I'm so bored all the time, trying not to think too much about what we are or not going to see on the u/s. I haven't had any tests done since 9/3.

Still no nausea. Some heartburn, but I would get that before too. Constipation comes and goes. Milk of magnesia helps me out with that one. I too, am not allowed sex until at least wk9. I can't wait until we get the ok again.

Anyone else running out of places for their PIO shots? I find that both sides are so bruised up I don't know where to put my next shot. The shots themselves aren't bad, but I get a huge lump there the day after. :cry:

Thanks for the compilation, JG! I think you must have done a lot of math for mine. Heh, but not bad. You missed dd by one day: 5/14/09.

It gives me courage to see you all talk and share your thoughts.
I had one unsuccessful IVF which resulted in D&C
This time my first beta was 1000(16 days post retrieval) and 7 days later it was 6000. My US is scheduled for Oct 5th.

I am not a pessimist but still havnt been able to rejoice that I am pregnant.....anyone know this feeling!

God bless! :roll:

I know whatcha mean, May2010 . . .

Everytime I go to the restroom, I think, "Please don't let there be any blood." Every cramp and twinge, I immediately think the worst. I can see why a lot of women don't share their pregnancy until the second trimester. All of my friends knew we were doing IVF, so I couldn't wait until my second trimester. I just tell myself that 90% of pregnancies end witjh a baby =)
