Morning Ladies
How are you all today, hope you are well. I feel like crap, although I am quite happy about that, just really tired and a tiny bit queasy so was planning to do some studying but may just go back to bed instead. I am not looking forward to going back to work on Monday.
Shannon, you having fish cravings? I read as far as Sushi goes, that cooked eel and rolls with steamed crab and ved are acceptable. Other seafood seems to be ok as well as long as it is well cooked, I love seafood and fish, My book also says that you have to limit how much fish you eat to 340g (12oz) a week.
I know what you mean about getting fat, my jeans are no use and my trousers are getting a bit on the uncomfortable side, luckily got some really nice skirts with elasticated waists that I can wear to work next week. Been looking at some maternity clothes, but too early although there is a nice pair of maternity jeans on ebay that may be ok just for kicking about!
Okay going back to bed will chat again later.

Morning Ladies
Just came back from a weekend in England, stocking up on anti-nausea products!!!
My sister-in-law recommended arrowroot biscuits, Janem... they're meant to be quite good at taking the edge off morning sickness... you can get them from Sainsburys. I haven't tried them myself yet... but I have been scoffing salt and vinegar crisps, lemonada and ginger biscuits. I don't think it's as much cravings as trying to eat things that make me feel less ill!!! DH is happier when I'm feeling bad, as he is more reassured that I am PG... and keeps telling me to stop complaining about feeling bad! MEN!! 
If only there was some way to make them go through this too!!!!
Patricia and Wendy, I know what you mean about the studying- I'm studying part-time at the Open University, but can honestly say that I haven't picked up a book since before this all began... I'm beginning to panic, as I really have to complete my next assignment and start revising for the exams... eeeek!! Somehow all of this other stuff seems far more important... and as I keep telling DH, the baby/s don't want to study!
Shannon, I know what you mean about wanting twins... two for the price of one- we will be having our second scan tomorrow, and will hopefully see two little HBs.. fingers crossed! I'm quite excited.. don't you feel it's more real when you see the scan???
I've been trying to work out how far gone I am... and think that I am also due on 15th April- so it looks like Paige and I will be due at the same time!!
I think I've started to get a bit podgier around the waist, but am not sure whether this is really because of PG, or because for once in my life I am not dieting- and can eat pretty much what I want!!
Take care and let me know how you're getting on.

Wendy,
I am so very very sorry. You had such a long way to get to this point and now this. I know what you are feeling and know one cannot say much to console you. Only to say that I am thinking of you.
Spoil yourself as much as you can and let others do the same to you. Take your time and take a lot of care. And we are here if you feel like sharing.
Love,
Patricia

Ok..had my scan today, and was officially discharged from the fertility clinic and released to my ob/gyn. Saw the heartbeat again (which is always exciting). I'm starting to feel like myself again with no shots (just the cream) and not having to go every week for a blood test and scan.
Friday will be 8 weeks....and counting.
I ordered some maternity clothes on www.oldnavy.com and they were very cute when they came, as well as reasonable in cost. gap.com also has some cute stuff...that will be my next order, but perhaps I should wait until I actually need them?
I gave all of my old stuff to my sister so I have to buy new don't I?
My husband has so much guilt about having me go through this entire IVF process (it was male factor) that he's having an inground pool put in. hmmmm all of those shots, maybe I should gripe some more and hope for jewelry? ha ha

Hi Paige!!
That is so exciting! I don't get my first scan until next Wednesday! I wish it was sooner. We will be six weeks this Thursday, so almost seven weeks when we go for our scan next week. I am so excited for you! congratulations on being discharged to your OB/GYN! Are you going to your own doc, or is it an OB recommend by your fertility doc?
I love the maternity clothes at Old Navy! They are really cute, although I haven't ordered any yet. I am still stuffing myself into my non-maternity clothes. I did buy some bigger pants when I was going through the stim shots because I got so bloated that nothing fit -- so I have them to tide me over. It is hard because we are at that in between phase where our clothes are getting tight, but we still don't qualify for the big stuff! That is one thing I like about Old Navy's site is that it tells you what months their clothes are good for, like 0 to 6 months, etc.
I am still feeling pretty queasy, are you having morning sickness? Mine hits in the afternoon. I woke up this morning worried because I didn't feel bad, but I should have taken advantage of it because I am not feeling great now!
Did everyone hear that Alica got a BFP! I told her that we can't wait to see her over here!
Hope everyone is doing well!

I too am using my stim clothing right now. Though I did buy some maternity summer stuff that was on sale because we're planning a trip in October. My issue is that most of my shirts would just hit my lower rise jeans at the top....now that my chest is gigantic it's pulling the shirt up more and I am not walking around like a barely pregnant Britney Spears, so I need to buy some longer shirts. Thank God for low rise jeans...they are the only thing that comes close to fitting from my old wardrobe!
My clinic has scanned every week since the bfp. It's amazing how much bigger everything is from week to week. They were able to see the heartbeat for the first time at 6 weeks 4 days, so hopfully they'll be able to see yours at 7! That will be so exciting!
I've had some queasiness on and off, but it only ends up in a coughing/gagging fit. No actual sickness, thank goodness. Although I wish I had a little more, because I'm eating like mad!
I saw Alicia's BFP! Come on over Alicia, don't be shy! I still ready most of everything on the other side, but feel kind of weird posting much.

Hello Ladies
I had my second scan at the doc's yesterday... and was released to my usual gynaecologist.
We saw two little heartbeats... !!! Yes, our wish for twins has come true!! One is still a little smaller than the other... a week behind the doc said, but apparently if it's less than two weeks, they're not too concerned about it.
I'm still feeling as sick as a dog, and keep telling them that they'll be in BIG trouble when they finally get here... but somehow me thinks I will have forgotten all about it by then! Friday will be eight weeks for us too.... how exciting... one fifth of the way there!!
Hoping to pop out to get some new trousers on the weekend, as mine as just getting past the really comfortable stage to damn right tight! A friend of mine recommended H&M and C&A for wearable, good value clothes. But I do still feel a bit of a phoney wondering around the maternity clothes sections without a bump... come along and show!
Hope you're all feeling good- let me know how you're getting on.
Take care of yourselves,
Tanya

Talk about gigantic chest, mine are coming out of everywhere, I believe I am already up one size...geeeeee.......
Shannon,
Hang in there girl before you know it you'll be lying on the bed watching your baby on the screen ...take care
I just came back from the clinc for my last visit with them and I had my scan, I thought I was 11 weeks today but they said that I was 11 weeks 2days !! The baby was moving around everywhere,, he/she kept waving at us, it was so amazing... I couldn't stop crying for how happy I was, Jaime(dh) was also there and he was so shocked to see the baby move like that.. the tech. also made a joke to say that this baby seems like a ''show off baby'' because he/she didn't stop moving.. I loved every minute of it.. I wish I had one of those transvaginal u/s at home... !!!
Anyway, how is everyone else doing ??
