kareen as i said CHEERS!!! Chell I know the wait for the scan is almost as tortured as the dreaded 2ww but it is worth it 7/11 !!!!---kristin hw are you holding up???? lbebe im thinkin of you...!!! as for me im in the air right now im waiting to hear what /when we are doing next...prob with the 4th of july holiday a monkey wrench got thrown in but i am ok waiting awhile waiting for the ultrasound was excrutiating for me...so if i have to wait a little while longer i fell like ill be able to see more....and for DH and I these weeks where how far along we where when we started to lose the first baby then the second last time so i wo=ill be happy to get through the next couple of weeks without incident..i know that sounds selfish but its my best way of dealing w/ it...i know total craziness... ---anyway to all best wishes...and babydust---kell
o kelley
it is just one long 2ww after another 2ww and I can really understand how difficult the next wait will be for you!!!
Thanks so much for all your kind words, I finally had the scan today and it was really incredible! It is starting to sink in and feels more and more incredible! It was all there, the heart was tiny and took some imagination but it was 5.3mm and dated at 6w2d which is just about right! I am quite speechless. I was given a lecture about taking it easy (not something I have done) and told not to swim for another fortnight which upset me but she just told me to relax as my body right now needs rest as the next 2ww is quite important! The next scan is on the 12th...can't believe it!
lots of love to you all

How wonderful that your scan was successful...i always wonder how they make out the body parts...it all seems like blah to me... i wish you goodluck on your next scans... my first scan isnt till july 10th it just seems sooooo far away...
hey kristin!!!!...thats such a wonderful feeling it makes me except my swollen up body (in some very different places) bearable...lolol i dont have my next scan planned but my next drs appt is july 6th...to go over the dos and donts then my follow up is at the end of july...so the waiting game begins again.......but i am soooo happy for you!!! did you get your est duedate?---kell
hello there!
sorry to have been a bit quiet, I am just not very well but I have promsed not to complain which is quite difficult for me. After the hyperstim it still looks like both my ovaries are still massive and along with the slow bowels and all I think it explains alot of the pain and then the nausea is really kicking in!!!! I keep trying to eat regularly... what are you all trying?
They didn't work out my due dates, they said we need to wait a couple more weeks and see how things go (and not jinx it.. which has me of course worried that they saw a problem that theyare not telling me about, but I know that is just my insanity again!!!!)
kelley and vita hope your scans come quickly! It makes such a difference, I really think given how many thousands we are paying they could add in an optional daily scan for some of us!!!!! Lbebe, chel and dear kareen hope you are well too!
do tell me how you are
lots of love and beating baby hearts!

This is one of my first posts here because im so scared to post here.. but i thnk something strange is happeneing to me. Yesterday i started having mild cramping in my lower abdomen and now i have started spotting a brownish color... should i go to the hospital to have everything checked out or should i wait it out and see what happens? Im actually quite nervous and confused. This is the first time i have seen anykind of spotting in the last 6 weeks... I just hope everything turns out to be ok...
Can you ladies give me any advice on what to look for as warning signs ??
Vita,
to be safe, i'd call my clinic and keep them posted.. that said, i had brown dischrge daily until i was in my second tri- its more common than ione would think- and more so with ivf..
brown blood is old blood..
i was told to rush to hospital if it turned bright red and increased in quantity( it did turn red on 2 occasions, but luckily, all was well)
take a lot of rest wont ya,
keeping you in my prayers,
smita

vita ...try not to worry , i did the same thing i went and had the scan done andmy ob told me this would prob continue to happen and that cramps where normal...if you look through some of my old posts i posted the same question right around the same time, I had many PMs and posts from tons of woman that had the same thing happen in the beginning and where well into theyre second and 3rd timesters and some had already had healthy babies....but you really should call the drs office and see if they can move your scan up im sure once thats done youll feel much better ...your in my thoughts and prayers oh and welcome over here scary huh???--good luck Kell
Thank you for the advices...i guess i really shouldnt get worked up about it, i've still had the brownish spotting (yuck!)... but i really think its nothing serious because its not accompanied with any major cramps so i have decided to stay positive and just try to enjoy every minute rather then terrify myself and cause stress on the embie/s....
I cant wait to have my scan on monday im so excited! i secretly had a second beta done 25dp3dt at the hospital where my aunt works just because i was worried and the beta came back at 33239... my aunt looked at me and said ....hmmm i think there is more then one in the oven...she got me excited! Im still praying very hard everyday just to have a healty child.... all I ask for is one and if GOD grants me more then i am even more blessed.... I believe every child is a blessing.... ok im getting emotional and for some reason there are tears in my eyes...wow hormones are raging!
Kareen~~ where are you?? i havent seen you post for a few days,,, ihope all is well with you!
Kelly~~ are you getting any symptoms just yet??? has the morning sickness taken its vengence? I havent felt anything yet and i think thats a good thing so far.....
i had my 2nd scan yesterday and both little buns are doing fine... im so relieved as i got it into my head that one didnt make it..... my consultant said he isnt worried and no longer needs to see me.....so he referred me back to my own health practice to await an ante-natal appointment...
my EDD is the 14th of february but as its twins he said they will be here in january......
vita.....hope things have settled with you..... mabye you should consult your doctor who might send you for an early scan just to make sure things are good.....im sure it is nothing serious...could be the result of everything your body has been through and old blood that has been needing to come away.....plus your insides are under construction
kelly.......how are you?..have you heard anymore about your scan? hope all is good with you....xxx
hayley....how are you?...i bet you are still in shock knowing your having twins....i still am.....
kristen.....hope you are well babe....havn't seen any posts from you and just wondering how your doing....xxxxx
hope everyone else is doing great.......kareenxxxx
