Thanks Michelle for the numbers!

You know, ironically my nausea has kicked in over the past 2 days as well. I have litterally felt "icky" and queasy since the moment of implantation (I kid you not), but only over the past 2 days have I felt like I was going to need to be near a bathroom as much as possible. Haven't thrown up yet, but sometimes I think if I could I would feel much better.

Hope you are hanging in there. I find sucking on candy helps a bit. I have some ginger candies and some lemon drops, both of which make it more tollerable for a few minutes.

Claudia, I take the progesterone in oil injection and a low dose aspirin for another two weeks. I can not wait to be done so I can finally feel 'normal'.
Lucyluna, my numbers that you see were 13dp3dt and 20dp3dt. Like you, I scoured this site and any other site I could find looking for beta comparisons. I found that some people with really high betas still have only one baby. It is weird but like everything else, I guess it's not an exact science.
I have had a cold since Saturday evening so I don't feel pregnant at all with the cold symptoms overhauling my body. Although, yesterday I had two emotional break downs...DH kept saying "it's okay, your pregnant with twins, you're supposed to be emotional". That was his first test and I'm glad he handled it the right way and passed.
I'm going in for the u/s today and I am SO nervous. Hopefully it will go well and this will be my last trip to this office.
Wish me well today as I will be doing the same for all of you. Take it easy ladies, you've earned it!

Hi ladies,
I kinda felt lost on the other thread too. I am 11 weeks today, so I look forward to talking to you all for a couple of weeks!! Dione- I got to stop my PIO injections last week. My husband said he was glad my booty in his face wasn't the first thing he had to see everymorning. He can be rude sometimes, ha ha

. I am soooooo glad to be done with them. My ass was getting raw on both sides. I had to take 2 1/2 cc everyday. I'm going to be done w/ pressaries and Estradiol injections tomorrow. I've have not really been sick this whole time (lucky eh) , but the last couple of days I have not felt well. I've had two u/s and a doppler last week. First u/s babies hb was 175, second it was 170 and last week when I got to hear (It's so awsome to hear!!!) it was 160. I'm so glad to find you all and hope you are all doing well.

Hi ladies, mind if I join you?

Just thought I'd say hi. I am 11 weeks today...same as Rileydee. I am on progesterone suppositories and oestrogen patches until next week. I really can't wait to stop. Have a 13 week scan booked for 2nd Oct. Hopefully we will get to hear the heartbeat.

I recieved the maternity pack from the hospital last week, it's all starting to feel 'real' if you know what I mean. After months and months of trying to get pg when it actually happened I think I was in kind of shock and couldn't quite believe it! Did anyone else feel this way? It still hasn't sunk in, probably because I don't have any symptoms apart from bigger boobs!

Diona, hope your u/s went well today and your cold is on it's way out.

Lucyluna my levels were 97 12dp2dt and 1295 14dp2dt. They didn't do it again after that. We saw one little beanie with it's heart beating away happily on our first scan at 6 weeks.

Claudia, sorry to see your MD wasn't very supportive. Some of them really do need extra training in bedside manners! By the way I am 43 and hoping and praying all will go well for us. We had a donor egg tmt in Barcelona.

Hi to all here, have you all told your news to friends and family or will you be waiting for the magic 12 weeks? We haven't told anyone anything...it's really difficult keeping quiet. How do you plan to tell people? I would be interested to know.

Hugs
Bye for now
Anna

Hi Anna, My due date buddy!!! I have felt the same way. I got to go see my new dr last week and I got one of those baggies too. My dr is new, but he is in the same office as my old dr, so it was so awsome to go in there for this instead of just an annual or see what he can do to help us get pregnant and not be insanely jealous of the pg ladies coming through the office. It still hasn't really sunk in. I kinda keep forgetting cause I haven't had too many symptoms either. I guess when the belly starts growing or I feel the baby kick It will get real. But that day at the dr.s was pretty awsome. I go back on Oct 9th. I'm a big mouth, everyone around me knows whats happening. I can't wait till next monday! That will be a relief.

Hi ladies--I would love to join this little clan of newly pg ladies if that is alright? I am new new pregnant. I had my first beta on 9/13 at 12dp3dt it was 155. My next beta was 9/15 at 14dp3dt and that one was 421. We are 4wks6days pg as of today. I have my first US on October 9th. We went through ivf to get this pgy-worked the first time. Bridget
PS--can someone tell me how to make a ticker?

Well, some of my fears were put to bed today. The u/s went well and the DR said my twins look great! Strong heartbeats (148 & 154) and they are both growing well. It's so amazing... just a little over one week ago they were just little light spots in the sacs. Today they filled up the whole sacs. Amazing!
Although most people around me know I am pregnant, I hadn't told too many about the twins because I have been nervous since my last u/s. Today, though, I came to work smiling and telling everyone. Like Riley, I am a big mouth. I don't know how people are able to keep it quiet for 3 months.
I cannot wait to finish this final injection...only 15 days to go. While my husband enjoys seeing it first thing in the morning, I am sick of it being all scabby and tender. Too much info, I know.

Take care all and chat with you tomorrow!
Dione

Dione--congrats on the twins and a great us. I bet you and dh are elated. I can't wait for my us--i just need peace of mind and a visual image to prove to me that i am pg--still can't believe it.

Wow, you all had an active day! Dione, I am so glad to hear that your u/s went so well today. As for being a blabber mouth, I have been trying to keep things quiet, but I am going a bit crazy. Some people I don't know as well know about the pregnancy, but I have kept it from much of my family and friends. Isn't that strange? My clinic only does one u/s and it is 4 weeks after your first test, so I just want to make sure everything is ok before the fam finds out (except our moms, they already know!). It has been the longest 4 weeks of my life and I can't wait for Thursday.

Thanks for all the numbers ladies. I know they mean very little and I could go either way. They say it is either twins or a very healthy singleton, which is good no matter what.

Welcome Riley, Anna, and Bridget. It is nice to have more to chat with.

hello everyone

dione.....glad to hear everything went great at your u/s.

We had our scan today as well. It too went GREAT! We got to hear the heartbeats of our little ones. They were 150 & 154. It was the first time I have felt at peace since we have found out we were pregnant. The babies do look so different now. My RE is going to keep me on progesterone shots for 3 more weeks...oooooouuuuccchhhh

Can't wait to stop them, but I will do all I have to do.

LucyLuna.....good luck on Thursday!

I gave myself until today to keep our "news" underwraps except for a few close friends and family. Now......I know when I go to school tomorrow..everyone will see my smile. I am giving in and letting my faculty know.

Thanks for all of your support and advice

Oh Michelle that is great news! I am so glad it went well for you. It is time for you to relax and enjoy being pregnant, as much as a pregnant lady can enjoy it

Hi ladies, Sounds like everyone is doing fabulous!! Bridget, If you go to TickerFactory.com, it will walk you through it. Select the bar design you want and then select the ticker you want and then copy and paste the HTML to the bottom of your profile. Hope this helps.
