Hi everyone -
Lou I'm so happy for you! Now it feels more real, doesnt it? My RE didnt measure Hbs at 6weeks either, just said "theres a strong hb" so I guess we'll be waiting to hear how many BPM until the 1st OB appt. I cant say that my abs are sore, but my entire lower abdomen has felt really tender and bloated for a while now ( another thing to blame on the progesterone) that tender feeling is why I went to get maternity jeans so early, anything tight was bothering me. So i'll bet that you and your DH will be carrying around your sono pics now? I ended up putting them on that magnet paper to stick them on the fridge - yes, I know I'm a dork. Did you tell your RE how lucky you 've been so far without s/s?
Gi I'm so happy for you! I know that you were a little worried, hopefully now you can relax and have the next 3 weeks pass quickly so you can relax even more! When is your EDD? Did you get a sono picture? I'll bet that J is ready to take it with him to show everyone!
Ronda I'm so happy for you!

uh, oh if they wont do a blood screen on you, then I guess they wont do one for me either - since I've got 2 years on you.
Jeez - I cant wait until I get to see the OB on friday- I feel so clueless about prenatal screenings.
KTelise Yep, i'm in the same boat as you with these progesterone levels. I didnt know that a 10 point increase was what they're looking for (thanks) I have my fingers crossed that ours both go up so we can start to get weaned off of these darn shots already! How are you feeling? I cant wait to see your ticker
Hope Are you feeling any better? Hope that you're squeezing in enough rest whenever you can - with a full time job and a little guy at home, I cant imagine thats an easy task.
Hazel Ooooh, sounds like you had a fun weekend! But shouldnt everyone be catering TO the pregnant woman?

At least you're feeling more like yourself lately. Good to hear, it gives me hope that that this exhaustion will pass eventually!
Steph UGH! Me too! Both of my hips are knotted up so much! I swear each night it takes longer and longer to find a spot to fit in between all the lumps
I've done the heating pad and a firm massage every time - but then my DH said "well, you've been doing a injection every night since the last week of January!"
Hmmm, if he had to have just 1 IM injection i'd have to hear about it for days.... How goes the spotting? How are you feeling? When is your next appt?
Merri I cant answer your question - because I still havent been released! But I made my 1st OB appt anyway...
Positive Aetna has so many different tiers of plans - only the top 2 or 3 cover ivf. My DH has a union job so there was not a chance of getting the union to switch plans. Good luck with your u/s on Wed! I cant wait to hear how many you've got! Aw, your DH sounds so sweet!
Claudia Happy Passover! Hope you stop by soon! How are you feeling? I hope that you're not too nervous for your u/s on Wed?
AFM I've been really lucky theses last few days and hardly any m/s! But instead I'm still beyond tired and have inherited heartburn and indigestion instead. Plus I've been having odd and sometimes a little sharp pains on my left side? I refuse to try to analyze these things anymore

I'll check in tomorrow after my 4 hrs in the car to go have a 2 minute blood draw - yay? And my darn progesterone had better have increased too!
hugs & prayers to us all - xoxo
