Wellcome mina!! :D Tell us when is your due date...How do you feel?

I have my first ultrasound today afternoon...I got this strange anxiety moment last night. I was afraid that I have all the symptoms and that doctor will not find anything in my uterus today. I start crying and my hubby was trying to calm me down. This is my firs time crying like that since we find out that we're pregnant :oops:

I'll let you know later today how was it :D

Afternoon,

Mina - welcome aboard! When is your due date?

CroElla - hope everything goes ok this afternoon. I know what you mean about feeling anxious and worried - I have been have exactly the same thoughts!! I keep thinking I have been imagining all my symptoms and that when it comes to my scan on Thursday there will be nothing there!! Not sure if my (.) (.) are sore because of being pregnant or because I keep squeezing them to see if they are sore!!!LOL :shock:

I have no sign of m/s tho, does anyone else?

LisaPa - hope you are ok

Hey Ladies! I was hoping i can join you. i got my BFP on the 17th!! I had my repeat blood test today and they said my levels are rising, although i forgot to get the actual number. I can't believe that I am actually pregnant, still in shock. i go in on the 29th for my ultrasound.
Question - how many did each of you transfer? I transferred 3. Can you tell on the u/s how many made it, or is it too soon? I'm waiting and excited to see how Croella's u/s went. I'm definitely going to keep the small meals in mind, I've heard that a lot.

Hi Kim---Welcome I go for my u/s on the 27th i think they can see how many at that time i am not 100 % sure though. I did a 5 day transfer and my RE would only transfer 2 she did not want me to carry more than 2 if they both took. she felt it was too much of a risk. I also still cant belive it ..when are you due? did you do a 3 day trans? how many?

I did a 3 day transfer and they told me it was best for mt to transfer all 3. Now, i am scared and freakin out! I would love all of them but the thought of having 3 at one time! I'm pretty sure my due date is April 25, but I will confirm next week.

Hi ladies....

I would love to join your group with April due dates. I took an HPT on 8/15 BFN, so trigger shot was definatly gone. HPT on 8/18 showed faint line, HPT on 8/20 was a definate BFP!!! Although my BW was not scheduled until 8/22, I talked RE into letting me go today.

If I have calculated it right, my due date would be around 4/28. With IVF, don't you use 14 days prior to retrieval as your ovulation date in a pregnancy calendar?

Are any of you feeling drained? I just feel like I have no energy, and on top of that, I am feeling crampy all over. But I'm not complaining, I will gladly take it......

Anyhow, I really am looking forward to getting to know you all better as we go through this journey together!!!

Hey!!

Welcome to Heidi and Kim - here's hoping there will be even more of us soon.

Heidi - as for the cramping, thats good - means your uterus is stretching for the embie. I haven't had any tiredness but thats a common symptom as well

CroElla - how was the scan? Can't wait to hear the news. I am getting nervous about mine on Thursday, just need to know everything is all ok.

Lisa - hope you are ok. Like you I only had 2 embies transfered, thats all they are allowed to transfer in the UK, they want to reduce multiple births!!

Catch you all later

Welcome new mamas:)

Just a quick update, (got to run, have a doc. app.) On Monday we've seen one little heart beating fast and strong in a little 7mm body...What a moment!!!!!!!

My butt is swollen, and red and hard and it hurts like a SOB, and it is causing high temperatures every evening now. 13 more days of shots....

I hope you girls are doing OK.... :D

Ok, so how do you do the ticker thing? I tried several times to submit it to my profile but I must be doing something wrong... HELP!!!

Welcome Cocoa,

your ticker is working fine now...Congrats on your BFP and congrats on lovely hCG...mine was very high too so early, but I have only one little heart beating...My specialist told me that high hCG level is a great sign of a solid pregnancy...So, aether way, twins or not it seams you have great numbers!!!

ICSI GIRL I hope you'll join us soon, I had all the PMS symptoms and was almost sure AF is coming. Relax and join us tomorrow!! :D
